Bitmob - So I sat in a chair ... a lot.
I couldn't wait to play through the second disc of Xenogears. The main characters already survived a series of tragic losses. I just had to see how the story ended.
Then the entire narrative slowly started falling apart.
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.
Did i think that the 2nd disk of Xenogears was 'rushed' well yeah a lot of people do nowadays but it really didn't stop it from still being a great game.
The first disc was packed with content & so much an emotional rollercoaster ride that taking a break from it was what i thought the 2nd disc was for. The 2nd disc was Fei understanding his past/past lives & coming to terms with who he was really. Not much action can really be given if it is entirely 'story driven'. Besides the part when the end was happening is some of the most epic stuff from the game.
From what i heard the game went over budget for Square & that most of the remaining resources went to development of FF8.
