January 23, 201313 yr Know that a few here liked Xenoblade and a lot Xenogears from their *possible* JRPG past
January 23, 201313 yr Xenogears was a good game aside from the budget issues and flagrant attempts to emulate Neon Genesis Evangelion's shallow Judeo-Christian symbolism. And the standard JRPG unwinnable story fights that can be won but the story stays the same. That said, Xenosaga was terrible (I never played past the first one, it was so bad,) and I don't have a Wii U. Besides, I get more than enough mecha satisfaction from SRW.

January 23, 201313 yr Author That said, Xenosaga was terrible Didn't like Xenosaga I either (Though, I know a lot who did), Xenosaga II was way worse, Xenosaga III is really great. Loved Xenoblade though and its probably my favourite Xeno- title, for once it also managed to have a pretty great translation. Player-controlled mechs weren't in it though . I'm happy that they are making a return.
January 23, 201313 yr Even if I don't buy a Wii U anytime soon, I'll probably pick up the game. In a worst case scenario, I'll use an emulator on PC in a few years.

Do you think this will be a sequel to Xenoblade? The guy at the end looks dangerously close to Shulk (or Zanza)
January 23, 201313 yr I personally don't think it will be a sequel even if they might have some tie ins. The Xeno games usually don't have any connection other than sinilar themes. I would personally not be bothered if it is Xenoblade 2 though.

Yeah, but that had more to do with licensing. Originally both Xenogears and Xenosaga were meant to be part of something bigger (And sadly didn't (really) work out on both) Xenoblade wasn't. But maybe Takahashi got enough hope to try it again. Edited January 23, 201313 yr by C2B
January 23, 201313 yr Maybe, it does make sense since that character appears in the end. I wouldn't mind if Xenoblade ends up as a series.
