Never played the originals, but the more RPGs the merrier.

They were going to make this game for PSP until they realised the PSP's battery would be dead before the opening FMV was halfway through.
yuck yuck yuck

It's good to see Namco's relationship with Nintendo is still pretty strong. We need their support on the Rev.

But that would make this a GOOD thing.

I would LIKE to think that SHIOHWHOOPS would cut down on the cutscenes, and I think they will to an extent, but this IS SHOHWHOOPS we're talking about. It'll probably end up being a game that you'll play at home on your DS. On the positive side, staying at home with the DS isn'u all that bad since it provides a different experience than consoles- that is, if the DS's features are used well.
Oh well, we probably won't hear of this project for a long long time. ANd it's better to have than to not, it can't hurt

Perhaps they'll implement saving during cutscenes...
I have a feeling this'll be the first Xenosaga to be released in Europe. XS2 was listed in the ad booklet that came with Tekken 5 but I have my doubts that they're bringing it over. Doesn't make sense to give us the second part of a story when you haven't released the first part here, right? I mean, they can do it for Katamari because that doesn't really rely on the story but I don't think you can make sense of XS2 (subtitle: Beyond Good & Evil. Let's see if it lives up to it) without having played XS1.
I still wonder what stopped them. It's not like Star Ocean 3 was translated, either.

glad its finally offical
I hope they pull it off, seems that remakes of console rpg's normally end up worse then orginal ones for handhelds

I'm gonna take a guess here too that Xenosaga DS will probably be on a much larger cart than current DS games........I hope that brings other devs to make larger games hopefully filled with great content. Heck some better 2d gfx or 3d gfx would be welcome too. Although i do understand that most DS devs won't want to cut into profits too much. So chances are slim until cart prices go down.

Ah pardon me but they only announced its development, so how can anyone already be pessimist about the game?
It's quite simple really, all the Xenosaga games have sucked big time. Like everyone says, the games aren't even games, they're just super long cinemas with virtually no gameplay. If you can't stand FF, you'll rip your hair out playing Xenosaga.

Don't speak ideally of one of my most anticipated DS games being canned without proof...
Anyway, not enough known about the title yet to give a fair opinion yet... I wish we were getting a Tales game instead, though. However, will likely pick it up regardless.

We've got a couple of those on the GBA, which can be played on the DS. It's just that neither Namco nor NOA gives enough of a crap to bring them over to America. The only reason we got Tales of Symphonia is because NOA gave a crap (Namco didn't).

Woooooah thanks KDR, I've been going all this time thinking it was Square, whoops.
That's because you played Xenogears. Square hired a group that would later be named "Monolith" to make Xenogears for them. When Monolith left Square and got bought up by Namco, they decided to continue the "Xeno" series, but they can't touch Xenogears anymore, so they called it "Xenosaga", and when they eventually get around to the Xenogears chapter of the story again, they're going to re-write it.

Anywho I think more people should have bought both Tales of Symphonia and Baten Kaitos, and now that they are both 19.99 there is no reason why you people shouldn't buy em.
And I for one am truly pissed off that Namco did not bring Tales of Phantasia GBA over to the states, that game rocks!
(Thanks alot for reminding me Ruby Onyx, such bad feeling flowing through me NOW! LOL)
Namco should release Tales game on DS, not PSP. Seriously the DS has a bigger audience to sell to, so why not?
