Neon Genesis Evangelion, Xenogears, Xenosaga, Friedrich Nietzsche... anything to do with any of these I'm a crazy fan of. If this doesn't come stateside, I'm going to be pissed... or learn Japanese... seriously! Xenogears is my 2nd fav game of all time, Xenosaga series was mind blowing (to me), and ... plz announce it here!
I wanna thank Yoko Shimomura for Great video game music's she made like kingdom hearts series, Mario RPG's and of course remix for Super smash bros brawl. Thank you Yoko Shimomura. Thank you.
Yay my favorite composer will compose music for both xenoblade and arc rise fantasia. Chrono Trigger and Chrono Cross has the best music in a video game ever.
As much as I hope this game to have some of Xenogear's coolness, what made Xenogears special was it's pure EPIC story that dealt with psychology and God, not just the kickass robot action. But this is looking great so far, and amazing music!
way to fall for nintendos marketing scheme.. but might as well pick up metroid other m, monster hunter tri, super mario galaxy 2, the last story and new zelda to go along with it
@Ctk80 I don't think so. It doesn't sound like his style, and I've been listening to him for a LONG time. It sounds a bit more of Kaoru Wada of Kingdom Hearts. Hmmm..
wrong it's not it'sTetsuya Takahashi and it's not related to xenogears nor xenosaga. is a whole diffirent thing. First, to get something out of the way, Xenoblade has Xeno in the title, but is not at all related to Xenogears or Xenosaga
In the comments, you guys all think this is Xeno related, but I'm sorry to say that Iwata said the only reason they put Xeno in the name was because of all the hard work Takahashi put in the Xeno series. I was saddened too.
lol u guys complaining about what system it will be on. i will buy the system for that game only as i have done in the past several times. i bought a ps2 twice. and a dsi because kosmos was in it. i guess ill get a wii or a ps3 once it comes
It shouldn't matter what system it goes to, because the fans will know this game will be amazing. I'm just glad Nintendo/Namco is continuing the franchise.
Can't believe everyone here is under this impression - I'm sorry to say it, but Xenoblade has nothing to do with Xenogears or Xenosaga, whatsoever. It's just a game called Monado: Beginning of the World renamed to attract a larger audience.
What makes a Xenogame a Xenogame? A Great Story, a lot of phylosophical references and social/politcal themes, a great background with elements of sci-fi, Mecha and the presence of the Zohar (which is in fact the only fil rouge connecting Xenosaga to Xenogears). Well with just a trailer, an image and the name Monado we can tell that phylosophical references and mecha are there. We also know that Takahashi is working on this. I don't know why everyone is complaining to be honest
Oh I'm not complaining at all, the game can still be excellent, I just wanted everyone to know that it wasn't specifically related to the Xenosaga series, as has been officially announced.
Xenoblade is its own universe, its own characters, its own tale. No elements of sequel will be present, they are not 'continuing the franchise' or anything like that.
Just wanted to make that clear to everyone who has this misconception.
What's this now? You have magical insight into what the game is all about and have gone through the entire thing? Amazing!
Anyway, we don't know whether it does or not for sure. It might just relate to Xenosaga as much as that series does to Gears. And that's good enough for me, honestly.
Man you don't have to take this high and mighty attitude towards me - I'm just trying to make sure no one sets themselves up for disappointment.
This game is almost finished, it had been named Monado for an age, and then suddenly they renamed it to Xenoblade.
As SergeCloudUzuki quotes "Iwata said the only reason they put Xeno in the name was because of all the hard work Takahashi put in the Xeno series. I was saddened too."
In addition, Monolith, the developer, is OWNED by Nintendo now and works as a second party studio (like Retro who did Metroid Prime series)... there is no way the game will end up on any other system outside of the Wii, sorry.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Can't wait to see what this Xenoblade is all about. The only thing that saddens me is that I wish the Monolithsoft was bought by Sony or even Microsoft. I wanted to see their next Xenosaga-related project on a next-gen console. Wii isn't really next-gen...
Are you trying to purposefully piss off people for no reason? At least elaborate why you think Wii isn't a next gen system instead of trolling. It just reeks of immaturity.
Square had Xenogears. Namco had Xenosaga. And now Nintendo has Xenoblade? Could this day be the day that Nintendo gets a slice of the Xeno- pizza pie?
@HamonLord yup pretty much. They left square, and then they founded Monolith Soft in 1999 and then they got picked up by Namco. So in other words, they're a development team owned by Namco, similar to Project Aces being owned by Namco
@HamonLord That would be awesome, but i don't think it's gonna happen. When the 3rd one came out, they said it was gonna be the last one and when asked about any sequals, they said it was a trilogy and nothing more. So, I honestly don't think so, but that doesn't mean that they can't still surprise us.
@HamonLord They could possibly, but I don't know if they would be able to. Cause xenosaga was all based on the bible and Fredrick Neitzhe (or however it's spelled) And i would think it would be kind of hard to make another game without drawing from xenosaga too much. But i don't know. They're the designers, not me, so they can probably think of something. If they will though is another matter....
@HamonLord We'll just have to wait and see at future gaming conventions to see if there's gonna be anything happening. It is still a possibility and it has a pretty big fan base, so it's not like they'd lose any money or anything. I mean Xenogears had actually quite a bit to do with Xenosaga, but it's just not as futuristic and such.
@HamonLord Ya it was, had lot's of similar themes and ideas. Such as giant robots, the triangle, X, and Square fighting system from the first Xenosaga, lot's of sci fi elements, great storyline, interesting characters and everything. It's DEFINATELY worth a play if you haven't before and you like Xenosaga. If you have a modded PSP you can find it online easily, or you can buy it online for relatively cheap.
@HamonLord lol you need to get out more! Shouldn't limit yourself to one console. Like to me i don't really like the Wii because of the game selection. I like RPGS and action games, but the Wii doesn't have hardly any good RPGS, and action games on the Wii just don't mix with the inaccurate Wiimote. But that's just my opinion. If you really like RPGS though, you should pick up a PS2 sometime. PS2 is the best system for RPGS ever
@XDoomriderX Yup. In my opinion, PC rpgs hold no ground when going against console rpgs. They just lack the story and depth that come with console rpgs and i get tired of point and click crap all the time. Plus not to mention you pretty much need a super computer to run any modern game, and you can get a PSX/PS2 for anywhere from $1-$50. Can't beat that at all
@Loz8900 Just to be fair, you've got good RPGs on the Xbox 360. That is, if your into western RPGs. Dragon Age : Origins (on PS3 and PC too), the Mass Effect series (PC too), Jade Empire (PC/Xbox 1. Might not work on the 360), Eternal Sonata, Tales of Vesperia, Resonnance of Fate (I probably miss some of them). ;-)
But yeah the PS2/PSX is filled with JRPGs. Problem is (for me) they are _ linear_ (unlike the Bioware games), and in that regard not _role_ playing games (not really).
@xcomcmdr Ya there's quite a few good rpgs out there for the 360, but PS2 has been around for a lot longer, therefore they have a lot of rpgs, lol. I'm sure the 360 will get there someday, just might take a little longer then the PS2/PS3. You missed Lost Odyssey, Infinite Undiscovery, Star Ocean, and a few others, lol.
Well depends on what JRPG you play, really. Some are linear to a point, then they branch off to a HUGE game. But that's just your opinion, which is perfectly fine, lol.
@Loz8900 I'm sorry but all the JRPGs I played, and it seems to be like that for majority of them, won't give you any freedom to drive the story the way you want.
In Fallout 1/2, I can be evil if I want to, and that leads to totally different outcomes (or death :P) that your character has to live with (and for the Mass Effect series, it changes the sequels quite a lot).
Most of JRPGs are good (story-wise) I'm sure, but the linearity of most JRPGs is too boring in the end. Quality!=Quantity.
@Loz8900 PS : (stupid character limit) Don't get me wrong, I'm still loving Chrono Trigger, Chrono Cross, and dying to see Xenoblade in Europe. I just don't play a lot of JRPGs anymore, unless they are really unique.
@xcomcmdr I completely understand your opinion. Like with me, I'm not too big on Fallout simply because it's just an over used system and i don't feel as much depth in it or any of the side quests i would like to. Mass Effect and Dragon Age did that Real well. I thought that every side quest i did was pretty fun (some boring ones but not many) and they played out great.
But to me, i just feel like JRPGs offer more of a storytelling experience and not just a go here do that system.
@Loz8900 hum, "just go here do that" does not describe at all Mass Effect or Dragon Age, where you can go anywhere you want, and kill the good guys if you want to! O_O
Neverwinter Nights (with it's boring story line and side quests) certainly fits into it, though. As for JRPGs, well the linearity make them fell exaclty like a "to do list" with no choice (a prime exemple are the Tales of series, were choices are only smoke thrown at the player)
@xcomcmdr Well what i mean by that is there's no depth to the side quests. It's just "Go investigate this ship and inevitably shoot all the bad guys, then after you're done with that go to the next mission." I'm not saying it's bad but you can't go anywehere you want and do anything you want. It still has a set path. GTA and Just Cause 2 are PRIME examples of free roam games. Where you can take a break from missions and just go and do whatever.
@Loz8900 "Inevitably shoot the bad guys" describes s*** like Fallout 3 (Bethesda <_<) and NeverWinter Nights 1 main campaign (the MODs are something else).
But, it doesn't describe at all the side missions of Mass Effect 1.. nor the main quest. In most of both, you have some choice, and the quests are not the same (not the same choice. Sometimes it's ethical problems with no real solution), and the outcome is different
Mass Effect 2 loose that a little, but your previous choices have an impact
@Loz8900 GTA ? yeah free roam, but no freedom, no heart-breaking choices, no mistakes that you can make and have to live with, etc....
Anyway, I think we are going in circles. If you have the chance to play Mass Effect or Dragon Age you'll understand better what I'm talking about. My latest Shepard in ME1 was a complete bastard who murdered everyone, including a side characters (on purpose), and lot of other good people. So, ME2 was a totally different experience (and I was still an ass).
@xcomcmdr I don't think that decisions really define a game. I believe gameplay does. And Mass Effect, Dragon Age, KOTOR, and Fallout get really bland after a while in terms of gameplay. I do love all those games, but it's always the same thing over and over and over again. In JRPGs, MANY side quests are different and are more involved.
With GTA, you can just run around for hours killing everyone in sight and not get bored, but you can't do that on Mass Effect or Dragon Age
@Loz8900 My experience is the other way around (and I don't count Fallout 3 as a good game, nor many non-Bioware western "RPGs", nor tne NeverWinter Nights series).
Killing aimlessly in GTA gets me bored every time. GTA isn't a RPG (you don't make your character, for instance, it's the same guy for every one, just ilke in JRPGs).
Anyway, I think we have an agreement over our disagreement ^^
@xcomcmdr I know GTA isn't an RPG, i was just stating THAT is what an open world game is (go where you want, do what you want) I think the only western game that has actually lived up to that is Borderlands (that i can think of), but even that has some limitations.
Lol ya, i never really disagreed. Just stating my opinions on the matter. I respect the fact that everyone is going to have their own preference based upon MANY reasons.
@xcomcmdr And honestly, i don't think that the decision system really works in a JRPG and would rather just stick to a central storyline that doesn't deviate into different paths.
And again, don't get me wrong, i love both styles, it just depends on my mood which one i feel like playing
@herigore it is related to the series as iwata said
At E3 2009 it was announced with a temporary name, Monado: Beginning of the World. We decided to call it XENOBLADE to honor Mr. Tetsuya Takahashi who poured his soul into making this and who has been working on the XENO series.
0.52 : from that point till the end this theme reminds me a lot of June Mermaid (Xenogears OST) and in general it has a very "Mitsuda" feeling to it. (i can't explain this, but hearing over and over Xenogears and Chrono Cross soundtrack has given me the ability to immediately recognize Yasunori's style)
Plus the image used for this video's the most Xenogears-esque thing i've seen since Xenogears (yes,even more Xenogears-esque than Xenosaga)
I'm confident this game will live up to its expectation
Yes. I was a bit harsh...and tired. I wrote that comment impulsively. Sorry! This isn't especially bad...This is very typical J-RPG-music. Unfortunately that means it is very forgettable too. I just think composers should shape up in a quest to find memorable melodies and I hope that people would expect a little more from composers!
I think this(as well as the earlier trailer) sounded more like Motoi Sakuraba from Baten Kaitos. Perhaps the violin does that feel...but I have been wrong before.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I'm super excited of this game, but after hearing how tasteless its theme is, I'm not waiting the game so eagerly anymore. Its so obvious and SO utterly lacks ANYTHING personal, it makes me angry! Nice(in the blandest way possible) arrangement though. Reminds Baten Kaitos, must be same "composer". If you don't have enough imagination to compose memorable themes for each character, you should at least have identifiable melody in main theme!!! Well at least this wasn't the typical schlager-metal!!
I'm surprised you dislike it. I actually really like it. Some people are speculating that the person who wrote this is Yasunori Mitsuda, because he worked on Monolith Soft's previous games, like Xenogears and Xenosaga.
Xenogears was published by Squaresoft, not developed by them. Also, Yasunori Mitsuda only wrote the music for the game. He didn't direct the entire project. o_o
same people. monolith's xeno employees are former square. some sort of old misunderstanding yada yada and alot of peeps quit the giant. So yeah, if this didn't happen, kos-mos would probably be under the banner of xenogears.
They changed it because the dev team behind the game is best known for Xenogears and Xenosaga. Basically it's a new Xeno game, just one not directly related to the others (like how most Final Fantasy games aren't connected to others in the series).
I'm just glad that it's been pretty much confirmed North America will see this game. After not getting Monolith's other recent games (Soma Bringer, Xenosaga I&II, and Disaster come to mind), it would be nice to finally get one for once.
:'D

What makes a Xenogame a Xenogame?

@HamonLord Yup, pretty much as of 2007, Namco sold Monolith Soft to Nintendo
Loz8900 1 year ago
@Loz8900 Might there be a chance that Nintendo actually collaborates with monolith soft to make a real xeno- sequel in the distant future?
HamonLord 1 year ago
@HamonLord That would be awesome, but i don't think it's gonna happen. When the 3rd one came out, they said it was gonna be the last one and when asked about any sequals, they said it was a trilogy and nothing more. So, I honestly don't think so, but that doesn't mean that they can't still surprise us.
Loz8900 1 year ago
@Loz8900 Couldn't they at least carry on the series with a new suffix named? Completely different characters and story, but same sci-fi crap.
HamonLord 1 year ago
@HamonLord They could possibly, but I don't know if they would be able to. Cause xenosaga was all based on the bible and Fredrick Neitzhe (or however it's spelled) And i would think it would be kind of hard to make another game without drawing from xenosaga too much. But i don't know. They're the designers, not me, so they can probably think of something. If they will though is another matter....
Loz8900 1 year ago
@Loz8900 I wish they could.
HamonLord 1 year ago
@HamonLord We'll just have to wait and see at future gaming conventions to see if there's gonna be anything happening. It is still a possibility and it has a pretty big fan base, so it's not like they'd lose any money or anything. I mean Xenogears had actually quite a bit to do with Xenosaga, but it's just not as futuristic and such.
Loz8900 1 year ago
@Loz8900 From what I gather from their fans, I think this xenogears was just as "cosmic" or "sci-fi" in storyline as xenosaga.
HamonLord 1 year ago
@HamonLord Ya it was, had lot's of similar themes and ideas. Such as giant robots, the triangle, X, and Square fighting system from the first Xenosaga, lot's of sci fi elements, great storyline, interesting characters and everything. It's DEFINATELY worth a play if you haven't before and you like Xenosaga. If you have a modded PSP you can find it online easily, or you can buy it online for relatively cheap.

HamonLord 1 year ago
@HamonLord lol you need to get out more! Shouldn't limit yourself to one console. Like to me i don't really like the Wii because of the game selection. I like RPGS and action games, but the Wii doesn't have hardly any good RPGS, and action games on the Wii just don't mix with the inaccurate Wiimote. But that's just my opinion. If you really like RPGS though, you should pick up a PS2 sometime. PS2 is the best system for RPGS ever
Loz8900 1 year ago
@Loz8900 Ps2 AND PSX :D Are the best RPG consoles, and that's JRPG's that I am talking about ;)
XDoomriderX 1 year ago
@XDoomriderX Yup. In my opinion, PC rpgs hold no ground when going against console rpgs. They just lack the story and depth that come with console rpgs and i get tired of point and click crap all the time. Plus not to mention you pretty much need a super computer to run any modern game, and you can get a PSX/PS2 for anywhere from $1-$50. Can't beat that at all
Loz8900 1 year ago
@Loz8900 Just to be fair, you've got good RPGs on the Xbox 360. That is, if your into western RPGs. Dragon Age : Origins (on PS3 and PC too), the Mass Effect series (PC too), Jade Empire (PC/Xbox 1. Might not work on the 360), Eternal Sonata, Tales of Vesperia, Resonnance of Fate (I probably miss some of them). ;-)
But yeah the PS2/PSX is filled with JRPGs. Problem is (for me) they are _ linear_ (unlike the Bioware games), and in that regard not _role_ playing games (not really).
xcomcmdr 1 year ago
@xcomcmdr Ya there's quite a few good rpgs out there for the 360, but PS2 has been around for a lot longer, therefore they have a lot of rpgs, lol. I'm sure the 360 will get there someday, just might take a little longer then the PS2/PS3. You missed Lost Odyssey, Infinite Undiscovery, Star Ocean, and a few others, lol.
Well depends on what JRPG you play, really. Some are linear to a point, then they branch off to a HUGE game. But that's just your opinion, which is perfectly fine, lol.
Loz8900 1 year ago
@Loz8900 I'm sorry but all the JRPGs I played, and it seems to be like that for majority of them, won't give you any freedom to drive the story the way you want.
In Fallout 1/2, I can be evil if I want to, and that leads to totally different outcomes (or death :P) that your character has to live with (and for the Mass Effect series, it changes the sequels quite a lot).
Most of JRPGs are good (story-wise) I'm sure, but the linearity of most JRPGs is too boring in the end. Quality!=Quantity.
xcomcmdr 1 year ago
@Loz8900 PS : (stupid character limit) Don't get me wrong, I'm still loving Chrono Trigger, Chrono Cross, and dying to see Xenoblade in Europe. I just don't play a lot of JRPGs anymore, unless they are really unique.
xcomcmdr 1 year ago
@xcomcmdr I completely understand your opinion. Like with me, I'm not too big on Fallout simply because it's just an over used system and i don't feel as much depth in it or any of the side quests i would like to. Mass Effect and Dragon Age did that Real well. I thought that every side quest i did was pretty fun (some boring ones but not many) and they played out great.
But to me, i just feel like JRPGs offer more of a storytelling experience and not just a go here do that system.
Loz8900 1 year ago
@Loz8900 hum, "just go here do that" does not describe at all Mass Effect or Dragon Age, where you can go anywhere you want, and kill the good guys if you want to! O_O
Neverwinter Nights (with it's boring story line and side quests) certainly fits into it, though. As for JRPGs, well the linearity make them fell exaclty like a "to do list" with no choice (a prime exemple are the Tales of series, were choices are only smoke thrown at the player)
xcomcmdr 1 year ago
@xcomcmdr Well what i mean by that is there's no depth to the side quests. It's just "Go investigate this ship and inevitably shoot all the bad guys, then after you're done with that go to the next mission." I'm not saying it's bad but you can't go anywehere you want and do anything you want. It still has a set path. GTA and Just Cause 2 are PRIME examples of free roam games. Where you can take a break from missions and just go and do whatever.
Loz8900 1 year ago
@Loz8900 "Inevitably shoot the bad guys" describes s*** like Fallout 3 (Bethesda <_<) and NeverWinter Nights 1 main campaign (the MODs are something else).
But, it doesn't describe at all the side missions of Mass Effect 1.. nor the main quest. In most of both, you have some choice, and the quests are not the same (not the same choice. Sometimes it's ethical problems with no real solution), and the outcome is different
Mass Effect 2 loose that a little, but your previous choices have an impact
xcomcmdr 1 year ago
@Loz8900 GTA ? yeah free roam, but no freedom, no heart-breaking choices, no mistakes that you can make and have to live with, etc....
Anyway, I think we are going in circles. If you have the chance to play Mass Effect or Dragon Age you'll understand better what I'm talking about. My latest Shepard in ME1 was a complete bastard who murdered everyone, including a side characters (on purpose), and lot of other good people. So, ME2 was a totally different experience (and I was still an ass).
xcomcmdr 1 year ago
@xcomcmdr I don't think that decisions really define a game. I believe gameplay does. And Mass Effect, Dragon Age, KOTOR, and Fallout get really bland after a while in terms of gameplay. I do love all those games, but it's always the same thing over and over and over again. In JRPGs, MANY side quests are different and are more involved.
With GTA, you can just run around for hours killing everyone in sight and not get bored, but you can't do that on Mass Effect or Dragon Age
Loz8900 1 year ago
@Loz8900 My experience is the other way around (and I don't count Fallout 3 as a good game, nor many non-Bioware western "RPGs", nor tne NeverWinter Nights series).
Killing aimlessly in GTA gets me bored every time. GTA isn't a RPG (you don't make your character, for instance, it's the same guy for every one, just ilke in JRPGs).
Anyway, I think we have an agreement over our disagreement ^^
It was interesting anyway. ;-)
xcomcmdr 1 year ago
@xcomcmdr I know GTA isn't an RPG, i was just stating THAT is what an open world game is (go where you want, do what you want) I think the only western game that has actually lived up to that is Borderlands (that i can think of), but even that has some limitations.
Lol ya, i never really disagreed. Just stating my opinions on the matter. I respect the fact that everyone is going to have their own preference based upon MANY reasons.
Loz8900 1 year ago
@xcomcmdr And honestly, i don't think that the decision system really works in a JRPG and would rather just stick to a central storyline that doesn't deviate into different paths.
And again, don't get me wrong, i love both styles, it just depends on my mood which one i feel like playing
Loz8900 1 year ago
@xcomcmdr Well, i happen to like all kind of RPG,so yeah,I'm crazy enough to buy all 3 consoles to play all games,

xenosagax112 2 years ago
0.52 : from that point till the end this theme reminds me a lot of June Mermaid (Xenogears OST) and in general it has a very "Mitsuda" feeling to it. (i can't explain this, but hearing over and over Xenogears and Chrono Cross soundtrack has given me the ability to immediately recognize Yasunori's style)
Plus the image used for this video's the most Xenogears-esque thing i've seen since Xenogears (yes,even more Xenogears-esque than Xenosaga)
I'm confident this game will live up to its expectation

Yes. I was a bit harsh...and tired. I wrote that comment impulsively. Sorry! This isn't especially bad...This is very typical J-RPG-music. Unfortunately that means it is very forgettable too. I just think composers should shape up in a quest to find memorable melodies and I hope that people would expect a little more from composers!
I think this(as well as the earlier trailer) sounded more like Motoi Sakuraba from Baten Kaitos. Perhaps the violin does that feel...but I have been wrong before.

I'm super excited of this game, but after hearing how tasteless its theme is, I'm not waiting the game so eagerly anymore. Its so obvious and SO utterly lacks ANYTHING personal, it makes me angry! Nice(in the blandest way possible) arrangement though. Reminds Baten Kaitos, must be same "composer". If you don't have enough imagination to compose memorable themes for each character, you should at least have identifiable melody in main theme!!! Well at least this wasn't the typical schlager-metal!!
varoennauraa 2 years ago
I'm surprised you dislike it. I actually really like it. Some people are speculating that the person who wrote this is Yasunori Mitsuda, because he worked on Monolith Soft's previous games, like Xenogears and Xenosaga.

@Naikorasu sorry dude but Xenogears is SE game not Monolith Soft but Yasunori Mitsuda is the person that made xenogears
xenosagax112 2 years ago
Xenogears was published by Squaresoft, not developed by them. Also, Yasunori Mitsuda only wrote the music for the game. He didn't direct the entire project. o_o
Naikorasu 2 years ago
Allow me to correct myself. Squaresoft actually did develop Xenogears. I was mistaken because of Monolith's developing Xenosaga.

@Terrymiester
They changed it because the dev team behind the game is best known for Xenogears and Xenosaga. Basically it's a new Xeno game, just one not directly related to the others (like how most Final Fantasy games aren't connected to others in the series).
I'm just glad that it's been pretty much confirmed North America will see this game. After not getting Monolith's other recent games (Soma Bringer, Xenosaga I&II, and Disaster come to mind), it would be nice to finally get one for once.
