Do you not understand what a spritual sequel is?

It's not a new entry in that fabled PlayStation series, though. Xenoblade director Tetsuya Takahashi made this clear in an interview in this week's Famitsu.

"The world setting, story and other elements have no relation," explained Takahashi on connections to past Xeno games. "It's a completely new title."

Yes the title is meant to be sort of a tribute, but the actual games is not considered to be part of the Xenosaga series. Thus by all intent and purposes, it is a new IP. 

He means it isn't a sequel.  Xenosaga wasn't a sequel to Xenogears either.

Okay!

It is, still basically a new "IP".
