Worth noting that Xenosaga 2 wasn't actually made by Takahashi, but Namco took control of the series after Xenosaga 1 underperformed in sales. To no surprise 2 was a complete mess and so they brought Takahashi back for Xenosaga 3. He also made Xenosaga 1+2 for the DS which fixes many of 2's issues. So 1+2 contains the definitive version of Xenosaga 2.

Xenogears is the best game in the history. Xenosaga is the best movie-jrpg and very unique in terms of setting. Xenoblade X is the best open world Xenoblade 1 has really good story and masterpiece soundtrack Xenoblade 2 is basically Xenogears(story and depth) + Xenosaga (Countries and Politics) MonolithSoft is one of the best developers

In terms of Xenoblade, here are my thoughts, I would say Xenoblade 1 has the best story and most believable cast of characters. It's world is fantastic and awesome, but not exactly believable in the sense that it feels the most like a video game others if that makes sense. Not a lot of the way the world and "countries" are set up sound like they'd actually function for as long as they did. But, I can suspend my disbelief in their case. X is the middle ground, imo. I think the world is overall believable, and most of the characters are as well. (Minus Murderess) In terms of gameplay though, it was far and away the best in the series. It's story was good for a game that went so heavy on gameplay and exploration. And it made sense for the themes of the game. Xenoblade 2 has the most believable world like, I believe it could FUNCTION without stretching for logic much, but the least believable cast and voice actors by far. Way too anime for them to be believable,(perhaps excluding Morag) and it's done poorly anyway. Also the least compelling story of the three. I've never played the Xenosaga series mind you, but I've played the Xenoblade series a shit ton.

agreed. While you can...ahem...recreate the other games on your computer without issue for pretty much all systems, xenoblade X is stuck for most people on the WiiU, and to this day, that console secondhand is still too expensive to justify purchasing for one game alone(since most other games have been thus far ported and the zelda games were just HD remakes). I wanted to play X when it came out, and I just couldn't justify buying a WiiU for one game alone, especially not one that wasn't a multiplayer game(I played smash on the 3DS). I think they will probably undo the censoring, and ship out the port job to another company so that they can work on another game, be it xeno or otherwise. I would think that is how it will go.

When Monolithsoft went to Nintendo, it was one of the happiest fanboyish moment I can remember. Xenogears was my favourite game, Nintendo was my favourite company (even though the original Playstation was my favourite console at the time). It's part of what made the Wii generation such a major thing for me - everything felt both good and new again.

If Nintendo could somehow gain the rights to Xenosaga and Xenogears, only then could Monolith Soft can truly connect the universes together and not have to rely on faint references to the other games, in order to tell a story. If anything, I think a remake of Xenogears would provide some closure for Takahashi, as some Perfect Works edition, with additional content that could allude to the other Xeno games, all the while completing the story he wanted to tell with Xenogears, in the first place.

As much I would like to see a Xenogears remake I seriously doubt Square Enix will do it. They're already having trouble with FF7 remake and they won't give it a proper budget since its not one of their big IPs. Not to mention its heavy religious references won't bode well with those sensitive SJWs and religious groups that might take offense. Xenogears was controversial 20 years ago and was almost not brought to the West. It would be even be worse today.

Great video! I'd say though, that the music was a little loud, kind of making it hard to focus on your voice some times. I still got shivers from seeing the mech in Xeno X rising flying from Colony 5. That's an awesome sense of scale!

8:13 I enjoyed playing Super Robot Wars OGS EF. Was afraid of playing it in public tho as it can get abit racey. Also, now it makes sense why KOS-MOS was in the game. Thanks for the info! Edit: please do Retro Studios next. I seem to (vaguely) recall Johnny Metts telling a story of how hookers and parties are involved somehow at the formation of the company.

Xenoblade Chronicles don't have just the most impressive world on the Wii, I would say it got the most impressive world of it's generation and rivals many games even today.

Didn't know about you in 2015 but 2019 is a good time as any! Subscribed! Given the recent release of Tales of Vesperia on the Switch would the Tales series be a cool next video?

Dude thank you so much for making this informative video and taking the time and effort to do so! I have only played Xenoblade Chronicles 2. None of the other Xenoblade games, let alone all Xeno games. I know how it pronounced in Japanese as well, but I actually say it the same way as you. Lol. At least most of the time. I'm not always thinking or caring about being consistent when it comes to the pronunciation of that. It's super miniscule and I question why people might feel the need to criticize you on that. Anyways, I know this video is over 6 months old, but again thanks. It's always nice to learn more about the things we love, whether it is by our own personal research or someone kind enough to make a video or something else about it. I might look into the other games to see if I can fit them into my busy game schedule. I have lots I need to play still... Old and newer ones....

I havent played any of the xenosagas, or xenoblades...i just have too many games on the go, but i have played xenogears, and adored it so, so much Ps: the Nintendo//Monolith partnership is truly a boon. Id love nothing more than hearing news about Sakaguchi hooking up with that operation, itd be perfect for an SNES kid like myself...I loved Breath of the Wild's expansive world, courtesy of that partnership, and i know that the xenoblades have been wildly accepted, and i havent fully ruled out the possibility of finally playing the switch, and 3DS wii/wiiu ports, someday

Great video! Love all the Xeno games and I can't wait to see what they will do next. I would be as happy with rereleses on the switch as with a completley new game. What Character is to rhe far right in the thumbnail?

You’re dorky... but fun. I like it. Nice work! My hope is that they some day... somehow... do an HD re-release of Xenosaga. That game influenced my young, squishy, malleable teenage brain in ways that impacted my life forever. More in the religious aspects and storytelling concepts and less in a Jung-ian way (it’s pronounced Yung, by the way. ;P). Keep making great vids, man!

Agreed. We need Xenosaga on Switch so we can have most of the series on one system!
