This is why I like FF and SE

[Gennosuke]

Except Xenosaga isn't a SE game at all, and that's the exact reason why it couldn't be directly related to Xenogears.

Also, the new Xeno game (Xenoblade) is pretty awesome.

Interesting! Really? Xenoblade Chronicles.. looks fascinating. But.. Wii? >.<
Was hoping for ps3 version.. on hearing such news, would have bought it today..gutted.
I assume you've played it? Enjoyed it? Resemblance?

Yeah, i always assumed it was because it was back in the Squaresoft days, and the now Monolithsoft team was the actual development team or reserved some kind of rights to the story, where as Square reserved the title.

Xenoblade looks awesome, is it out in english?

Looks like it!

The game was released on June 10, 2010 in Japan, and was released on August 19, 2011 in Europe and on September 1, 2011 in Australia. There are currently no plans for a North American release.

Gee that's a recent release too. I'm just really annoyed it hasn't made it to PS3. ; ;

Because no one has said it yet... it's Xenogears, one of my favorite RPGs of all time, that sadly had its epicness severed by the Xenosaga series.

Both of you shut your mouths!

Xenosaga was excellent, and there's nothing wrong with the Wii compared to the PS3.

[Gennosuke]

Ok I'll look into that since I have a PS3, but what Xeno game are you talking I should look into? Gears or Saga?

XenoGears !

Xenosaga was excellent, and there's nothing wrong with the Wii compared to the PS3.

Oh, you could say i'm a sony fanboy, but no grudge specifically against Wii, just that i own a PS3 and this is quite unfortunate.
As for Xenosaga, meh, it had better graphics and nice gameplay, i actually enjoyed it, the prob however is the fact that they put the term Xeno in it's title. That bears a huge burden and standard to live up to. I would have had no complaint had it been named something else
But.. then again.. We have had FF7 as well. Miracles happen from time to time i guess.

But saga was garbage, only EP3 was worth it.

[Eekiki]

It is still SE Fault! They dint allow the xeno team to make a direct sequel or prequel since SE owns the rights to xenogears, and even when the xeno team was working for SE they dint let them make anything worthwhile, hell they even cut their resources when xenogears was being made, just so square could finish FFVII <.<

That is true. Xenogears was far superior to FFVII.

That's right. I said it. I'd say it again.

But FFVII was more marketable and less controversial, so it got the resources.

But saga was garbage, only EP3 was worth it.

I will agree that Ep.3 was the best in the series, but I'm looking at the trilogy (that was supposed to be six games) as a whole.

Ok ok. I really only said that because the first game was completely devoid of music. And I LOVED the music from gears. Plus, the gears were pretty puny. It had a good story, sadly I never played the following sagas. I heard those did a lot better. Maybe i will someday.

Ah yes, the gears in Saga where really small in episode one, but they fixed that on episode 2-3.

It wasn't completely devoid.

The gears were also useless in Ep.1. Like for real, I never used them except those few scenes where I was forced to.

And hey, most of the music in Ep.2 was throwaway filler music except for the totally awesome cutscene music by Yuki Kajiura.

I'm playing it, enjoying the ride a lot. There are a few things that could be adjusted here and there, but Xenoblade is easily one of the best JRPGs this gen. And there's some small nods to Xenosaga and Xenogears here and there like (MASSIVE SPOILER DO NOT CLICK THIS UNLESS YOU DON'T CARE -

Hoping for a Riki crucifixion scene at some point lol.

Well the only thing I see that would be 'different' for a PS3 release of Xenoblade would be graphics...and even so, Xenoblade looks amazing already, I have no complaints at all on that department.


We're pretty off topic here, heh

Thanks for the input.. sounds great..! pity it's not on PS. PS3 could definitely use some love from SE.
