Xenosaga Media
Posted by @ 10:56 PM, EDT
Blown out today with new screenshots, new high-res art, new characters, and five new movies.

It's been argued by many that Xenogears was a noble failure -- even producer Tetsuya Takahashi has admitted that the game wasn't quite what it could have been -- but it has probably drawn a more rabid fanbase than any other PlayStation RPG. Final Fantasy blew up into a mass-market phenomenon, but Xeno's blend of Byzantine religious conspiracy, complex science-fiction concepts, and wall-to-wall homage to thirty years worth of Japanese animation definitely lit up the obsession circuit in the minds of a cultish few. The angry e-mails that followed the IGNPSX Top 25 were only outnumbered by the related demands for a sequel.
Screens:
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13
