Heath and Janelle Hindman have run into a marital problem: he's never played Earthbound and she's never played Xenogears. This needs to be resolved immediately. For the next however long, they'll remedy this problem, and invite you along for the ride. In this first podcast, the couple discusses Janelle's progress in her first run through Xenogears. (For those interested in Xenogears, it is now available on PSN for play on PS3 and PSP.)
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 is awesome, unfortunately it didn't age as well as Earthbound. Any rpg fan should consider it their duty to play both if they haven't already.
Xenogears would have been more awesome if not for the budget cut (which result into more cutscenes in part two). It did not had a mainstream popularity because of its themes and concept regarding religion. Having a sex scene in the game also added some controversy.
Still love this game
Two of my all-time favorite games. Earthbound has timeless charm and humor, and Xenogears has a fantastic battle system and truely mature character development and plot.
Fantastic game. Adult themes. No bull. No clichè. A masterpiece. And the music is made by a hero of musicians.
