Xenosaga Trilogy
PlayStation Classics That Should be Remade
Before working on Xenoblade Chronicles, Monolith Soft and Tetsuya Takahashi created an ambitious trilogy of RPGs on the PS2 with Xenosaga. This sci-fi series tells an intricate narrative that weaves in elements of religion, Jungian philosophy, Gnoticism, and more. In terms of gameplay, they’re fairly standard turn-based RPGs, but the story and characters are absolutely fascinating, even for how convoluted it can get at times.
Xenosaga was clearly too ambitious, and yet, the trilogy is still a strong set of JRPGs with great characters and themes. With the huge success of the Xenoblade series, it’d be great to see Monolith Soft get to return to Xenosaga again by remaking the trilogy, or at the very least updating it. There’s so much that could be added or explored as well, and you wouldn’t want to get too ambitious with the remake, but Xenosaga deserves a second chance to shine.
