Personally, I hope we get another Baten Kaitos.

Wasn't the original trilogy supposed to be 6 games before episode 2 killed the momentum? The first game had so much promise but the way that series ended was a real headscratcher

If it's more Xenosaga, bring it on!

I could definitely live without more Xenosaga...

I could certainly do with some more Xenosaga. Reading the translated Xenogears Perfect Works got me pumped for some more of that universe.

Xenosaga Episode 1 was my favorite RPG ever but the second game was a dissapoitement and really liked the third game hopefully we the fourth game

xenogears >>>>>> xenosaga

xenosaga was a disappointment after the awesomeness of xenogears

I am with Dale 100% on this one. Do want.

Hm. Countdown.

I absolutely love Xenogears. Xenosaga I was good, but I just could not get into episodes 2 or 3 - and they weren't officially connected to Xenogears at all. If they could revive the original 6-game plan, I'd definitely be down.

Xenogears Remake.

You heard it here first.

Xenogears should be left alone, just like Chrono Trigger.

"Hoping for Xenosaga"

What a strange phrase...

Xenogears remake or GTFO imo.

I love you, Dale. I have long heralded Xenogears as quite possibly the greatest game ever made. Yes, I stole that from the FFVII box, becuase I :P at FFVII when Xenogears is around for comparison. Do want, dammit.

Oh man. I was just discussing with a friend the other day how lame it was that Xenosaga got completely screwed over and eventually cancelled.

Even an english translation of the DS Xenosaga I + II would satisfy me.

Xenosaga Ep I was great. Xenosaga Ep II & III... not so much. Key difference? Yasunori Mitsuda. And hell, Ep I didn't even make good use of his music, opting instead to play 'engine noise' instead.

If this is Episode IV, hopefully they'll bring back Mitsuda.

I'd be down for more Xenogears.

Xenosaga? Not so much.

How is it that so many of you claim Xenogears is such an amazing game and yet have so clearly mistaken it for Xenosaga?

Xenogears = created and owned by Squaresoft (Square Enix), sold to Namco Bandai

Xenosaga = created by Namco Bandai, fucking awful.

Xenosaga is simultaneously one of the most incredibly engaging and frustrating video game experiences that I have ever had. I was absolutely captivated by the plot, the universe, and Yasunori Mitsuda's music of Xenosaga Episode I and even though I was incredibly annoyed by the fact that the only parts of the game that you actually "play" are the boring and completely uninteresting bits and pieces between the interesting parts of the story, I forced myself to complete the game before the second game was released. Then I played Xenosaga Episode II and was just completely rubbed the wrong way, the possible exception being Yuki Kajiura's music which is good though I would have preferred Mitsuda. The plot just seemed incredibly rushed and barebones. The emphasis on the universe of the game was kind of gutted with the loss of the encyclopedia. The game even managed to be more frustrating than the first one. Hearing that the third game's plot was cut short due to the series not continuing for another sequel just cemented my disinterest and I completely passed on the third game even though I still picked up the game out of some oddball sense of obligation.

Considering Xenogears was made and is owned by Square-Enix, I doubt that Namco Bandai will be remaking it. The two series are only unofficially tied, thanks to the presence of team members from Xenogears on the Saga team.

While I agree that Xenogears is one of the greatest games ever made (and my fave RPG to date, even if the second disk is pants), I can't really get too worked up for the possibility for another Xenosaga. The only good thing to come out of that series is KOS-MOS!
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??

if it is Xenosaga (which i'd love) i'll seriously do something xeno related just to be happy.

I don't count on it though..but i'm not counting it out.

Ick. I hated Xeno-anything.

The gray texture on the 4 would also match with Xenosaga (Episode 1, remember the menu interface? GRAY). Obvious speculation, it could be anything.

But think about it! Xenosaga Episode FOUR??!! The countdown starts at...FOUR days? Ahh...I need to stop here before I...

Ah, was gonna say something about XenoGEARs and XenoSAGA not being related, but it seems quite a number of people have beaten me to it xD
Also, hoping for a XenoGEARs related RPG >_<

Yeah, I enjoyed Xenosaga Ep 1 moderately...but fuck all if they didn't bastardize and destroy the brilliant and awesome universe of Xenogears. I love that game, I know all the history of the universe.

A proper Xenogears successor, remake, or GTFO.

For finishing with "Screw that card crap. I want another Xenosaga. Anything else is unacceptable." I think that you jinxed us all and Namco Bandai is going to make a dreaded Xenosaga card game with downloadable card DLC...

Oh please, Xenosaga was the best they could without getting in trouble with square. And the games still make way more sense than any FF I've ever played although I've heard one of the guys who did the battle system is the one who made FF13's.

I see a lot of people saying lots of FF's didn't make sense, but I have yet to manage to get a question or example out of ANY of you.

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.

*Boots Xenosaga*

*Checks saved games*

Fuck, I haven't finished it yet?

the problem with Xenosaga is that they shat all over the perfect works.... :(
Plus the loss of the Xeno team (especially Mitsuda) after episode I killed it for me.

I love the card game from Xenosaga, I would totally buy a standalone version :)

i would be happy with a remake or another game, but the premise of another baten kaitos has gotten me very excited

Xenosaga would be rad as hell, but a new Baten Kaitos game is fine too.

you would HOPE?! for xenosaga? those were two terrible games. Only Xenogears was good back when character design counted for something and annoying characters couldn't actually talk.

Im pretty sure its another .dot hack game.
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.

I highly doubt it's Xenosaga since Nintendo bought Monolithsoft.

Xenogears has the best story in RPG history. Maybe in all of videogames. Period.

Xenosaga? Not so much. I would love a Xenosaga Collection. That would be nice.

Xenogears is one of my favorite games of all time, and I loved the first XenoSaga but couldn't get past the 2nd. Something about the combat just made the game loss all appeal to me.

Hell, just give me a Xenogears remake and i will be happy. But that would be SE's job huh.
Xenogears disc 2 was obviously rushed and not the way the creators intended it to truly be.

Totally agree...the Xeno series is the best ever. Xenogears is also my favorite RPG I have ever played. I hope that they continue the series.

I agree with you on the praise for Xenogears, but I gotta say, the Xenosaga series completely donkey raped what the series could have been.

I never finished the series though, and I always wanted to out of mere infatuation for the gears game.

That would be awesome! XenoSaga 1 is amazing. Sure 2 is poopy and...well I haven't started 3 yet cuz I still have to beat 2, but the series is so awesome regardless that a new startup to the series would be epic. Not to mention that there are a severe lack of RPG's these days. Screw Final Fantasy XIII, Xeno needs resurected!

Quite honestly, I hated most of Xenogears and Xenosaga while playing them, but they had the most compelling stories, and great music. I would love another Xenosaga game, as I really wanted to see them complete the saga.

Tales of Graces?

Could be Sword of Legendia (a Wii spin-off to Tales of Legendia).

I HATE XENOSAGA SERIES...
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!

For those stuck on Xenosaga 2: Yeah, Xenosaga 2 was hard to sit through (horrible battle system), but Xenosaga 3 brings the battle system back up to par and the story ends(?) really well.

I wouldn't say that the XS3 battle system brought it up to par. In fact, i'd say it was several steps back as they made it into a very traditional battle system and it lost all the combo attacks and whatnot which made XS1 fun to play. But it did have it's own charms
ep2 was just horrid and I don't know how I managed to finish it...
Took me years to go back and play ep3!

WTF??? A DIGIMON GAME????

Lame...
and straight out of left field.
