Wikipedia discoveries

So I've found all sorts of useful information through Wikipedia's entry on Xenosaga, some directly and some indirectly.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xenosaga

The two items that I found most interesting were:

1) The entire story of Xenosaga is vastly different from what was originally planned, because Squaresoft still owns the rights to everything in Episode V (Xenogears). This means that rather than keeping Xenogears as Episode V, the Xenosaga team will almost definitely do a complete rewrite when they reach that part of the story. I think it's cool that Episode V will get a facelift, but it's also rather sad that this means we will NEVER see the complete series as it was originally intended... all because of Squaresoft.

2) Monolith, the team behind Xenosaga, is currently working on a strategy/action/rpg/something game, Namco vs Capcom, which is to include characters from MANY games by both companies including Street Fighter, Ghost and Goblins, and yes Xenosaga. Promotional images I've seen include KOS-MOS, Shion, and Momo.

    So now Squaresoft is the devil?

    I just want to keep things straight.

      no no. they are not the devil. they just made a poor decision that I feel negatively impacted an incredible series of games that could have been even better if they had not made said bad decision.

      they are also not gods. I just tend to enjoy most of their work.

      so there :p
