Is it true Monolith Soft has a lot of devs that worked on Xenogears all the way back in 1998?

Not sure how many total rank and file devs, but it is led by Tetsuya Takahashi and was founded by members of the Xenogears team and others from that period of Square Enix.

It's the same team they left Square and formed Monolith Soft under Namco and were bought by Nintendo around 2007.

A remake of Xenogears has been one of my gaming dreams for several years, it´s my second favorite PS1 JRPG just behind FF7, though sadly I don´t think it´s ever going to happen.

If Nintendo acquired the IP and had the guys at Monolith make a remake..

It dosent even need to go to that lenght.Its just Square and Nintendo reach an agreement and that can be done.But its easier said than done



My (locked) thread about how difficulty should be a decision for the developers, not the gamers.

True and it is also easier and more practical for Nintendo to just keep having them do game under the Xenoblade brand and if they really wanted to revisit the story of Xenogears for a remake, do what the concept for Xenosaga was supposed to do and redo the story (with some changes and improvements) underneath the brand they control then having to politic with Square Enix for a brand they pretty much haven't touched in decades.

Would you take a look at this fine new rare blade (sick chara design btw)

Glad it is not showing for me. Less than two weeks away, no need for more spoilesr.


Well, I have more days than can carry over for vacation and have no idea when to use them, so using one on December 1st. Guess I'm going to be playing this that day off. Kind of excited even more now. Can't think of the last time I was able to play a game the day it came out. Well I mean before sitting at work for 8 hours while others are playing. I could play at midnight if I wanted to, no idea why I would though. Just go to bed and wake up and not mess up sleep schedule.

But heres to playing Xenoblade 2 all day one release date.



The game had 3 writers, one did the overarching story while the other two wrote up how it plays out.

One week left.



Anyone with a digital purchase will be able to play midnight this Thursday (basically as soon as Friday arrives).
