Yeah I agree with that but I’m still doubtful that Takahashi would get involved in something like this now that he’s completely invested in developing and expanding the Xenoblade IP. And I‘d even argue that Nintendo wouldn’t allow him to distance himself from it to work on a S-E probably-non-Nintendo-exclusive game for several years even if it’s just a 2D-HD game…I doubt they'd be just supervising. I always imagined a Xenogears remake would be co-developed, so again, I would not be worried about the spirit of the original being compromised if Takahashi and Saga are at the helm.
That‘s the reason I’d prefer to get a straight port or a 2D-HD adaptation with no changes than someone else than Takahashi mangling with it. After the recent Rings of Power disaster, I’m pretty apprehensive with someone other than an author doing anything new or inspired in an established IP/Universe (and with other disasters like Prometheus/Alien Covenant or Matrix Resurrections even with the author involved lol).
Anyway, going back on topic... I want Metroid Prime and F-Zero already dammit!
