No you don't need to play saga at all, it's not connected (only like 2-3 cameos/references). You just need to play 1 (DE), 2 and 3. I'd say 3's DLC is more important than Torna but Torna is still worth a play. X is separate.
Cool, I been trying to get into the series and dipping into the ST for XC3 and FR, but I would see people going wild about a reference to a character from saga and wondering if I should try playing the XS series before hopping into the XC series.
all you need is 1, 2, 3 and future redeemed
It's just a reference in Future Redeemed, at most Saga's lore would have to be heavily retconned and remade to fit with Xenoblade's lore. Hope you get into the series, it's become my favorite series of all time and each of the games are incredible.

If it wasn't for the Kos-Mos for Smash Ultimate DLC crowd, I would have no idea of what a Xenosaga is, and I have played every Xenoblade games since the first one released on Wii !
you didn't even pull Kos Mos in Xenoblade 2?
Yeah, as others have said, you don't need to know anything at all about Xenosaga nor Xenogears. Not even about Xenoblade X (at least for the time being, who knows if they connect it in the future). Play the others, and my suggested order would be: 1 (DE), 2, Torna, FC (free additional story included with DE), 3, FR. Although FC can be played before 2 without issues.
They're probably supervising it to some degree, but the developer is listed as Logicalbeat.
I hope they're involved somehow. I want to see what a Baten Kaitos 3 could look like. Imagine those worlds but in full 3d or something.They're probably supervising it to some degree, but the developer is listed as Logicalbeat.
Baten Kaitos I & II HD Remaster
Wings of the Heart Take Flight Once More Unearth the mysteries of the skies above and reclaim the lost ocean below in two timeless RPGs, remastered in HD. Baten Kaitos: Eternal Wings and the Lost Ocean and Baten Kaitos Origins are back with improved graphics and new features to aid game...en.bandainamcoent.eu
They basically just reused a characters name (in a way that couldn't possibly be the same person) as well as a certain logo. Knowing the references is actually, if anything, distracting from some of the other important things that scene is trying to establish. If you like Xenoblade, it may be worth going back and playing Xenosaga for a different story with similar themes (and gameplay of... highly variable quality), but the actual Xenosaga content in Xenoblade is limited to a handful of cameos.
I don't think there's any evidence that indicates it is happening, but I also wouldn't give up on it. We could be looking at another 3 to 4 years from now before the next new Xenoblade title is ready, so doing a cross-gen port of X would be one way of keeping the series active (like XBC 1 getting a remaster midway between 2 and 3 releasing). It'd be less resource intensive than a new game, and Monolith Soft balanced the remaster of XBC 1 with development of XBC 3, so it's not as if an X port would hold up the next mainline game.
I agree, a port of X for the Succ wouldn't surprise me at all, particularly if the next entry in the Xenoblade series is connected to it (which is a big if, of course).
The successor to the Switch means probably all the way too 2030. I don’t think we can predict what Nintendo is releasing by 2030 lol. Everyone should be open minded to it coming. They already got the rest of the Xenoblade series. XCX is all that’s left.
Are we not counting Redacted as a Switch successor? No way in hell Nintendo holds off on Redacted past early 2025, IMO.
I meant as in when the Redacted systems life will be coming to an end. It’ll probably end around there, maybe 2032.
Now is the perfect time for a Xenoblade Warriors that takes place on the re-united Earth. Pack it up with tons of fan service, and references/cameos.

Origin also gives a convenient excuse for everything ("The data was in Origin, so it was re-created").
So we can have literally every character appear. Jin, Lora, Egil, etc. lol. Bring back the previous villains too for cannon fodder and make a fun Warriors game.
I think that stands a pretty good chance of being the next Xenoblade project Monolith releases, similar to Xenoblade DE. Certainly, it's basically the only "filler" release they have left right now that would be done by Monolith themselves.

All the more reason to go back to it years later with all the experience they’ve gained making XC2, XC:DE, and XC3, and with a larger and better paid team at that. XC3 already reincorporated a lot of similar elements as XCX, after all, so it seems they may be working up to return to that direction anyway.
all I expect them to do is to up the internal resolution and apply DLSS
Whatever they did with the eyes on XB3, I'd be down for them shoehorning into XB2.
X leaves a lot of room for a sequel (the ending basically lays out the plot points for X2), but I'm kinda bearish on seeing it again, in part because of how a lot of X elements, both narrative and gameplay, seem to have been adopted into XC3
Even some improvements to the UI, blade management and the like would be huge QoL upgrades.
errybody want Xenoblade Warriors, but yall really want the warriors engine back?
Imagine seeing this before playing the game
I literally started the game yesterday ish
if the Xenoblade franchise keeps making more games I say it's inevitable
And that’s not even including anything from XCX! Gotta at least throw Elma in there!!
I think Age of Calamity looks incredible, way too good for the poor Switch in fact. If we do get a new Warriors game in any series I would want it to be next gen, I'm just really tired of the limitations for those games.
