been waiting forever

Hopefully never. Square Enix doesn't have the talent to remake such an amazing game.

Yep. Plus to do it justice (UE5 ?) you'd need a multi-TB storage medium. Something like the Switch's game cards, but general purpose for other consoles/PCs/whatever. Basically, we need the evolution of the floppy drive so we don't have to fill up our SSDs. I think I've gotten off track........

Xenosaga pelase.

[KPL]

they need to port the original over to PC first,but seeing how Chrono cross run like crap,not much high hope on them doing good port.

[REIVENTH]

Probably wont, since Xenogears creators aren't in Square anymore. That's why I bought Switch just to play Xenoblade series

I'd be down for a Xenogears remake, or even better a total Xenosaga proper relaunch. Too bad probably not happening ever. :(

Yes, remake all of the great JRPGs. I love seeing my favorite franchises get ruined by new developers who get a break into the industry, only to be forced to remake some old guys work they don't care about when they'd rather create their own franchise.

If we are going for great jrpgs to be remade, allow me to add Infinite Space to the list.

Xenogears was actually not finished, and rushed. Would be nice to play through those rushed chapters properly.

yes near the end it become text based coz it was rushed, if they want to remake it like FF7 style then i hope they fully make it

I hear the later Xenosaga in that series, maybe the final one?...was amazing and even in 2022 is amazing. The videos sure are convincing...might hafta check it out on an emulator.

I'd be happy with just an octopath traveler gfx style remake with the complete story properly playing out. Will never happen, tho, sadly. :| No one in current square has the mind to do this properly. I hear FF7r has great gameplay, but the writing is abysmal compared to the OG. Would be even worst with xenogears.
Let's not talk about the fact that Xenogears has infinitely smaller interest/impact than ff7 from a business executive standpoint, and you can see how that would impact the budget they'd allocate to that project. Just wouldn't do it justice.

1 was excellent
2 was terrible
3 was not as good as 1, but still excellent. I have not played the third, it's just the general feeling I get from comments about it and recapitulations on youtube. :|

Xenosaga suffered kindof the same fate as xenogears. Was supposed to be spread across 6 installment, so the 3rd was packed with tying up loose ends and a lot happened.

That's because someone decided to make a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ movie.

I'd be down for a Xenogears remake or remaster but unfortunately Square are terrible at that process. Time and time again they do a half-ass job - and sell it at an exuberant price.
