You could say that this is pretty much awesome and horrifying at the same time. After teasing it last week, Square Enix fully revealed their Xenogears crossover with their upcoming mecha game Figureheads, which will enter its pre-beta phase on PC on February 25th.
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.
I just have a feeling in my heart we will see Xenogears Remake at E3.
Come on Square, you revived FFVII Remake and you are making Dragon Quest XI and Star Ocean V.
Xenogears and Vagrant Story deserves the same treatment.
And make a Parasite Eve Remake while you are at it :)
I don't see Square Enix doing much with Xenogears since the devs that made that game left to forge Monolith Soft to create series such as Xenosaga, Baten Kaitos, and Xenoblade.
