I think as a series they will all be remembered so long as the series is going. It's sales in it's 3 games have already outsold Xenosaga and it's 3 games, and seems to only be getting more popular. Xenosaga as a series sold 269 million and blade vs 316 million, and instead of the series nosediving, it's maintaining and even increasing its userbase.
Also, if you're saying Xenoblade isn't an incredibly ambitious game, you're flat out wrong (at least with the original and X, 2 I think borrows too heavily from the others IMO).
As for Gears, I think it will have a lot to thank the Blade series for as far as staying in the public eye. When's the last time you heard someone talk about Lunar, or Suikoden? Both amazing series (I know Lunar only had 2 real games), but they really aren't relevant outside of nostalgia when people talk about greatest PS1 titles (or Sega CD in Lunar's case). In 2019, Suikoden isn't really relevant, and the only people who will be talking about it are you and I and the people who were there. Xenoblade on the other hand may still be around and kicking as a relevant series.

Overall N64 had some massive issues. Cartridges being the real core of it, it really handed what would have been by far Nintendo’s biggest generation to date to Sony on a silver platter.
Imagine if Nintendo had managed things differently, by the end of 1998 N64 could have had: Ocarina of Time, Final Fantasy 7 and Tactics, Resident Evil 1 and 2, Grand Theft Auto, Lunar SSS Complete, Suikoden 1 and 2, Xenogears, Parasite Eve, Castlevania Symphony of the Night, Tomb Raider, Goldeneye 007, Banjo Kazooie, Mario Kart 64, and Diddy Kong Racing all on one console. That would have been a proper SNES successor. Little doubt we’d have seen a proper Super Mario RPG successor as well. |
The only reason I didn't mention Eternal Blue (which I like better than SSS) is because it came out in 1999; a little later than my cutoff date.
I know my rants are a little tired and old fashioned sounding, but come on! It's IN this thread! :D
