"Xenoblade is a spiritual sequel."

"“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.”

Spiritual sequel my ass. Don't judge a game by it's looks, or in this case, the name. They have nothing to do with each other, and are very different games. 


You and very few Nintendo fans in this thread are the only ones who believe this.  Thematically it says the same thing as Xenosaga and Xenogears before it, same theme, same genre, same team, same start of title.


Xenoblade is meant to be a seperate IP period. The creators of the game said so themselves.
