Xenosaga. Fu*k you if you don't like Xenosaga. I feel that strongly about it. The Xeno series is, hands down, my favorite RPG series ever, with Xenogears being my favorite game ever. Ever. Charge me with being a series fanboy. Go ahead. I don't give two sh*ts if you...
Well, I'm getting ahead of myself here. There's a new countdown (yes, again) on the Japanese Namco Bandai site. It reads "ano RPG kaettekuru" which means "that RPG returns" for those that don't get down with the moonspeak. This fades away and shows another screen that basically says that the announcement of this "new work RPG" will be made in four days.
I have no basis for a Xenosaga game guess. The hexagon-ish sparkly dot things in the background look futuristic enough, but I think my hope for the game is clouding my judgement. It could just as easily be anything else. We haven't played a new Baiten Kaitos in awhile. Maybe that?
Wait. Screw that card crap. I want another Xenosaga. Anything else is unacceptable, Namco Bandai.

If it's more Xenosaga, bring it on!
xenosaga was a disappointment after the awesomeness of xenogears
You heard it here first.
What a strange phrase...
Even an english translation of the DS Xenosaga I + II would satisfy me.
If this is Episode IV, hopefully they'll bring back Mitsuda.
Xenosaga? Not so much.
Xenogears = created and owned by Squaresoft (Square Enix), sold to Namco Bandai
Xenosaga = created by Namco Bandai, fucking awful.
Besides, Xenosaga was developed my Monolith, which is now owned by nintendo, and all the original staff of Xenogears/saga have long since left the company. That, and it was bandai/namco who cancelled the series in the first place so it's unlikely that they would resurrect a series they buried themselves and without access to the any of the original staff. I'm putting my money on something else.
sooo... Aside from the plethora of tales games, what other RPGs could they be holding in their vaults??
I don't count on it though..but i'm not counting it out.
But think about it! Xenosaga Episode FOUR??!! The countdown starts at...FOUR days? Ahh...I need to stop here before I...
Also, hoping for a XenoGEARs related RPG >_<
A proper Xenogears successor, remake, or GTFO.
If it's a Xenosaga game, it won't be by the original team and will probably be bad.
Please ask me some questions about some convoluted plot in a FF. If I can't answer them I will agree that the plot didn't make any sense.
*Checks saved games*
Fuck, I haven't finished it yet?
Plus the loss of the Xeno team (especially Mitsuda) after episode I killed it for me.
their coming out with ".dot hack// links"
If you look up the trailer for it, you'll notice the polygon wallpaper from the RPG site matches with the vid.
Xenosaga? Not so much. I would love a Xenosaga Collection. That would be nice.
Xenogears disc 2 was obviously rushed and not the way the creators intended it to truly be.
I never finished the series though, and I always wanted to out of mere infatuation for the gears game.
for me XENOGEARS is still the best..HECK i dont even consider IMO them to be in the same series or in the same vein..
xenosaga series got out of control after the first xenosaga (NOT xenogears)..man the story got convoluted, its just too much to digest and most of them is not because its too much history and story BUT because it was not that stimulating for me..
XENOGEARS FOR LIFE...end of communication!
ep2 was just horrid and I don't know how I managed to finish it...
Took me years to go back and play ep3!
