The games of Tetsuya Takahashi and Soraya Saga (Xeno)

[Jumpin]

Updated with links, and with a blurb about Xenogears Perfect Works under the Xenogears section, with a link to the album of the entire book.
Kunihiko Tanaka's name has been added in as well to Xenoblade Episode 2 - I forgot to mention him, as the loss of his and Saga's character art style hurt the game a lot IMO - he was involved with Xenoblade Chronicles, although I am unsure as to what capacity other than he was likely working on creatures rather than characters this time around - it seems to me that Nopon and some of the characters match his art style - but clearly Xenoblade Chronicles X is much more in his style.
Norihiro Takami - was the head artist of Xenoblade Chronicles, other notable credits include Final Fantasy 8 FMV art director and Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild Associate Director (which probably means he was managing tasks and timelines for one of the teams departments, I am not sure Nintendo EAD's dev structure).

On Chrono Trigger - I am aware of Takahashi's work on that series, as well as a dozen other games (FF4 and 5, and 7, Secret of Mana, Front Mission, etc...) but I am unsure of what portions of those games are his. Soraya Saga's also worked on other games. Truth be told, the first game they worked on at the same time was Final Fantasy 5, Soraya Saga designed the map for that game, and Tetsuya Takahashi designed the graphics for the map - so that was most likely their original collaboration. Final Fantasy 6 seemed a better intro considering their work on it was noteworthy and impressive, and helped elevate the game.
Interesting to note, the concept for Xenogears used to be the concept for Final Fantasy 7 - you can still see a lot of Soraya Saga and Tetsuya Takahashi's influence on that game. The link between Sephiroth and Cloud, as well as the psychological issues, are more than likely adaptations from Saga and Takahashi's original concept. Deus, in Xenogears, began as Lavos, and Gears began as Magitek Armour. If you're playing XCX and flying around in Skells, you are, in a way, playing the latest version of FF6's Magitek Armour.

Soma Bringer I am aware of as well. In all honesty, I have never played this game, nor do I know very much about it. Hopefully one day we see it released over here.
