You're treating Monolith Soft like Square...these devs LEFT Square cause they didn't want to do things how Square does things. Look at how that worked out, Square is pumping out many many games, but their sales aren't going up but down. Sale projections aren't being met. Cause Square's philosophy was not a great one. Monolith took the path of we just want to make games that are fun, we have a vision, we will take our time, if the game sells well great, if not, oh well, we made what we wanted and stand by it and now it's on to the next one. Monolith takes more risks and has the slow and steady practice. Monolith is doing just fine as they are.
Can tell your young. Im 40 and have been gaming since the 80s.... monolith soft LEFT SE after xenogears. So annoying that noone really realizes the past just goes with the flow on twitter/social media
There is nothing wrong with being a niche developer. You don't need to make a game that sells 10 million copies. If you have a budget, meet your budget, have a loyal strong healthy fanbase that buys 1-3 million copies and you make a profit that is enough to live on, then you are GOLDEN. If your focus as a dev is we need to make a game that will sell record numbers to make a certain amount of money, you are in the wrong business and you will fail. Make good games with in your budget and the money will be there.
New ip is something I'm hoping for. Nothing would do Xenoblade more good than a little creative break. We don't want this to turn into another milked to hell series that loses quality. Doing something new gives the thr ability to break rules and establish new ones.
Its most likely a Xenoblade game meant to go as big as BOTW did. As for a Zelda remake, yea they could be involved but I don't see that happen til much later. I think we are getting ports.
Legacy actually makes perfect sense for X. Cause it’s not about space travel. It’s about the last remnants of humanity striving to survive on a distant planet. I think literally all the space travel happens on the first cutscene where you crash land. It has equally as much to do with space travel as pikmin. Maybe even a bit less cause you aren’t trying to rebuild a shuttle to leave. You’re trying to build a base to stay cause the earth is gone. You could easily call a colony like that humanity’s last legacy.
The problem with that, is that Monolith Soft is consistent with it's internal code names Bigfolk, Bigfolk 2, Bigfolk Switch, and Bigfolk 3 were all the mainline Xenoblade games for example. X was codenamed Spacetravel. If this were a sequel to X it would be Spacetravel 2. If it were a remaster or remake it would be Spacetravel DE. It's not Xenoblade related. If there is no licensing outside IPs (Xenosaga or Xenogears) then Legacy can only be a new IP.
Remake/Remaster of X. Legacy refers to the fact that it’s a legacy title from the WII U. The entire point of a code name is to make it difficult to know for certain what they are making.
It is related though because it’s not a game about space. It’s a game about the remnants of a colony ship. You don’t space travel in Xenoblade X; Outside of the intro where the earth explodes. Legacy is a good key word for that. It’s maybe too on the nose Is the real problem
Also I don't think seeing mini triforce's in the concept art makes it Zelda lol. It's just an easter egg that pays homage to Nintendo. Lets not forget in Bayonetta 2, she was wearing earrings that had the Triforce design lol.
Also I highly doubt the Deku tree Lego link is related since Midori was specifically asked about Monolithsoft and then mentioned Legacy to that. She didn't say it on her own.
Monoliths new game is likely a "new" game but I think it will be a new "Xeno" game. There was Xenoblade, Xenogears and Xenosaga. So They could be making a new Xeno game. It's not Chronicles 4, it's a fantasy one or such.
@@therealjaystone2344 Doesn't have to have anything to do with Klaus or Xenoblade. It would be all different characters, a different planet, different story, just Xeno something else.
I dont think Takahashi would make new xeno series after xenoblade success. Xeno has always been Takahashi signature , i think this one would be new ip or new xenoblade series but with differrnt codename now we're done with bigfolk era (Klaus arc)
So glad you're finally talking about the artbook!! For the answers to Logos and the continuation of the story of the 2 merged worlds, I think we need an X DE and maybe even a 2 DE first before any of that. 2 DE can explain more of Origin and how Logos returned, leading into xc4.
I've read in some interview, I forgot the source. They are pitching a few new game but Nintendo only greenlight xenoblade. So I thing this is still xenoblade with different theme or different mechanic. They like Bethesda also because their rpg is so alive ( the interview is before fallout 76 or starfield even a thing) For the legacy thing I have another perspective. If you already finished XC3 future redeemed, in one of the cutscene there is vector logo and mentioning Demitri Yuriev which basically a character from Saga and is not like when Kos MoS became a blade in XC2, in here is more than that. When Kos mos became a blade in XC2, Bandai Namco is mention in the credit as special thanks, but in XC3 FR Bandai Namco listed more that special thanks, is just like monolith have more permission to use the Saga lore to be in XC3's story, or something like that. So it could be the next Xenoblade it will have retcon with Saga and called Saga blade? 😂. This is my another assumption, they remake or remaster xenosaga. If they remaster saga, there will be a new content that retcon Saga and Blade. And not mention it, Bandainamco open 2 new studios to support Nintendo next gen console. Oh yes a little edit, it could be project x zone 3 or somabriger remaster 😂
Im down for what ever monolith soft do! There is not a single video game series that has hit me harder on an emotional level than the chronicles series!
I am not sure how much evidence we have for that, but I do kinda envision that being the direction they should go in with a game outside of Xenoblade. It would appeal to a larger audience at least.
I wager they were meant to release a Baten Kaitos -adjacent new IP before the Switch 2 delay, while softening audiences up with the remaster collection. XBX was already a compact mmorpg, nintendo looking to conquer that kind of field. I think this would be an arena fighter, carrying on the legacy of Smash into a more Hyrule Warriros direction.
Eh that could just as easily be for Xenoblade or Zelda or any other pre established property they worked on. Though they are expanded, so maybe possible.
@@brandonleemoss their codenames generally revolve around something to do with the concept of the game. It's possible that _legacy_ is an important theme of the game's world and story.
Reach a larger audience on Switch 2....lets not get a head of ourselves, right now, Switch 2 has a staggering userbase of ZERO. Switch has a userbase of 142 million. It would have a higher chance at doing better on Switch 1 lol.
I'm conflicted with the idea of MS doing a Zelda project, in one hand that would be cool I would love to see MS take on the series. In the other hand we would be loosing a new, interesting world made by the few Nintendo studios that care about storytelling as much as gameplay
Three potential ideas that come to mind with a code name like Legacy. All of them might be wrong. All of them might be insane. With the size of Monolith Soft and the help they’d get from Nintendo, any of them are possible. 1) Full remake of Xenogears so it comes out as originally intended with modern graphics. 2) Xenosaga Trilogy remake/remaster. 3) If it is Zelda-related, that Zelda-ish character model did look like Sheik (who is revealed to be Zelda). So a spin off of Ocarina of Time using the graphical fidelity of either the Xenoblade Chronicles 3 engine or the BotW or TotK engine to tell the story of Hyrule while the Hero of Time is locked away in the Temple of Time. The Legend of Zelda: Legacy of Sheik.
Great video! I am of course very excited by all this , despite the naysayers you will always get around any 'rumour'. I remember as you appropriately show around (0:40) the original XC X totally blowing me away with the amazing and rich Open world they presented on the Wii U. While this may seem like a bit of 'deja vu' , the Wii did not have a fanbase of _over 100 million!_ Just as We all found out from the Watershed announcement 3 weeks ago, things seem to be lining up really nicely for the Key Software too.
That doesn't make any sense😂 if it's called legacy why would it be a new IP?😂 Wouldnt legacy mean that it's something that already existed that's returning😅

It's much more likely to be related to Xenosaga considering the ending of Future Connected.

Actually, if memory serves me right, the "triforce" as we call is a buddhist symbol irl.
Just imagine if that 'Legacy' game from Monolith was in fact a semi open world Ocarina of Time remake, that would be insane.
Possible ?

But a spiritual successor to Xenoblade. The Klaus trilogy is already down with.

What if “Legacy” refers to the “L” in B.L.A.D.E from chronicles X?? Builders of a LEGACY After Destruction of Earth. Idk just throwing it out there.
It would be cool to have Monolith work on a remake of a zelda game. But, i really hope they are make a brand new medieval IP.
Nintendo, PLEASE, release a remake or remaster of Xenoblade Chronicles X. If you launch it for the switch 2, nintendo, I will pre-order :D.

Imagine if a Zelda game was made entirely by monolith soft
The story would be insanely good, and the world would still be vast and impressive!
Can’t wait til 2029
I still think “Legacy” is a zelda game
New IP is zelda related and zelda is the main character
That’d be amazing. That concept art is out of this world
Im down for what ever monolith soft do! There is not a single video game series that has hit me harder on an emotional level than the chronicles series!

Me: "LET'S FUCKING GOOOOOOO"
Just say it: you just want Monolith to develop the next zelda game...
You just want Monolith to develop the next zelda game...

i love ur content Andre ❤
It’d be beyond awesome if it was a full on remake of Xenogears.
it's an inhouse title without the involvment of another studio. meaning it can't be gears or saga.
A xenoblade souls-like would be amazing
Eh that could just as easily be for Xenoblade or Zelda or any other pre established property they worked on. Though they are expanded, so maybe possible.
Necrofelipe says its xenoblade, we will see
Hopefully Xenoblade X because that's the only thing that makes sense with the term legacy that I can think of😊
Maybe they're developing a New Golden Sun game?
Going off their prior codenames and consistency, it's most likely the new IP.
Then why would it be called legacy 🤔🤔🤔🤔 that doesn't make any sense sounds like you would have to be something that already existed😮
@@brandonleemoss their codenames generally revolve around something to do with the concept of the game. It's possible that _legacy_ is an important theme of the game's world and story.
New Zelda to keep in line with Nintendo’s plan to release Zelda every year. Or, Xenogears remake.
Xenoblade chronicles is my favorite game series more then Mario and more the legend of zelda
