 |
|
From the creator of Xenogears and Xenosaga, there's going to be yet another Xeno game from Tetsuya Takahashi. Xenoblade is a new RPG for Wii, featuring giant robots(?). Is it connected to the other Xenos? The game was originally revealed at E3 as Monado: Beginning of the World, but I hope they don't shoehorn in some Abel or Nephilim... :P Anyways, Spring 2010 for Japan.

| I only played Xenogears for the PS1 at a friend's house occasionally MANY years ago, but I remember loving it. A lot. (Of course, I was more into RPGs back then, too) But this may be worth keeping track of, especially if it's for the Wii. |

I'm kinda interested in this, but I haven't played any "Xeno..." games earlier. Here's hoping that it will be a stand-alone game.

| That's a Xeno game? Why wouldn't they have said that when it was first revealed? |

A lot of people seem to think it's to bring some attention to the game after Soma Bringer didn't do so well as an independently titled game.
Anyway, I like the music on the site, but like others said, the graphics will hopefully get some serious work to match the quality typically associated with the new title. The flat fruit in the stands in that one screenshot is just ... bleh.

Huge Xenosaga fan, so I'm definitely interested in this.

Xenosaga is the most pretentious thing ever.
However this has giant robot fights, so I am vaguely interested.

At least it will have a good cutscene engine.

Xenosaga wasn't advertised with Giant Robots, though, I don't think.
Plus I just can't imagine a game with the name "Xenoblade" spouting Nietzsche.

Looks like it's running on Xenosaga I's engine.
I love how most Wii titles can't even match late-PS2 titles graphically |

I wouldn't say I, but I'd definitely say that it looks like one of the three.

Well if I wasn't interested in getting myself a Wii for Mistwalker's The Last Story (and Metroid: Other M), this just made me buy one for sure.
Love that it looks like Soraya Saga is handling the designs for the title too.
