Janelle is playing Xenogears for the first time. Her husband cleared it way back when it was new as well as last year. Now the two talk about the game as she goes through it for the first time. This is their second discussion, so beware, spoilers have now crept into the talk.
Square Enix's interest in reviving its classics is the long-awaited ray of hope and the ideal chance to resurrect adored gems like Xenogears.
Seriously, I mean if anything an HD Remaster. I wish they had the balls to allow the entire story to be made, but I get the financial gamble won't all for it.
Square Enix suggested they might remaster more games from their storied archives—here are the classics we’d like to see get a new coat of paint.
I would definitely enjoy a Xenogears remaster. Recently finished Legend of Dragoon again (this time with platinum trophy) and would love to dive back into Xenogears with Fei and the rest of the crew.
Square Enix classics? dont they mean Squaresoft. Square Enix dont make classic games, just games with pretty graphics, no heart & soul, boring & over stuffed with woke Gen Z cockiness.
But while were on the subject i would love too see a remaster of Front Mission 3.
An unofficial Xenogears HD remaster is now available for download, introducing interface, sprites and texture improvements.
While there are night and day improvements to textures and assets such as character portraits and maps, contrary to the article, it doesn't seem like they touch any sprites with this romhack.
This is how remasters should look, I would love to have this game on PS4/PS5, it really gives the game new life.
Xenogears needs a remake like Final Fantasy 7.
Xenogears is EASILY top 3 best RPG games of all time for me. Everything about it SINGS...I miss that game ...
im stuck at the part when you have to send four party members separately to fight invaders of shevats palace. its sooo hard!
Shame about that second disc.
Which is precisely why this game NEEDS a remake, to have a chance to get their original vision out there...
But fuck it, they can't work together and Square Enix won't give up the rights to Xenogears.
Instead, we can look forward to games LIKE Xenogears, made by a few of the same guys, with Xeno in the name and a similar artstyle but it won't be Xenogears.
It will never be Xenogears until they put their bullshit away and collaborate on something bigger than themselves.
Should square even be allowed to keep the rights? It's clear they have no interest or plans to do anything with them.
Patents are bullshit
