Xenogears is being ported to PC via decompilation!

and... don't expect being released soon

there's two decompilations one with intentions to analyze the code(which is shown in decomp.dev) and another one which only has intentions to port the game to PC

An awesome game.

Oh, really? Well, I saw on the website that the port is only 30% complete, but I'm happy that Xenogears is going to get a PC port in the future.

Bro, this is getting decompiled? Not just ported or remastered, but decompiled? Are you telling me that we are mere weeks months years decades from competitive Battle Arena? Is that what you're saying!?

Wouldn't it be cool if they happened to dig up unused stuff in disk2, including extra plot, dungeons, etc?

That would be awesome! But unfortunately, it's very unlikely that this could happen

I love the decomp community!

Decomps are basically the new frontier of emulation, and after seeing what the Ship of Harknian and Co-Op DX communites have accomplished I have nothing but hype whenever a new game gets announced for Decomp. Pefect Dark on PC with mouselook? Yes please! Banjo Kazooie KurkoMod hacks with Steam workshop level mod support? Don't mind if I do!

So the craziest thing about your suggestion is that it's only the tip of the iceberg for what is possible for these kinds of things (hopefully, I'm sure it depends on how the decomp is accomplished).

It's a shame the Super Mario RPG was not evidence of more to come on that front. Although, a Xenogears remake would be rather reductive. I'm not scholar of the Zohar or anything, but I feel as if the ending was rather definitive. A better spiritual successor then either XenoSaga/Blade would be more apt. Though, if it did get remade, the 2D-HD style all of the Enix games are getting feels like the way to go.

Let me try this game in the future but for now I'm still playing my games.

Yo! Nice find!

Long live the decompilations

The E-Sports will be more peak than ever

I still have to play Xenoblade Chronicles 3. But from everything I've experienced with Xenosga, Soma Bringer, and the other Xenoblade games; I don't feel like Takahashi has it in him anymore to do Xenogears justice. Especially without Saga and Kato co-writing again

it's very unlikely that Nintendo is even interested in Xenogears and Xenosaga

the best that you can expect from Square is PS4/PS5 emulation or a reverse engine'd port as well from Namco is PS4/PS5 emulation or a mediocre remaster like the one that got Baten Kaitos duology

too many younger Xenoblade Chronicles fans who won't touch a real RPG.

And here I am trying to get into Xenogears. Now I don't know where to properly start, in the sense of what kind of version should I play (I know it's on the PSX tho).

Nice, gonna be a while, but still looking forward to it.

Xenogears only came out on the psx, any other version that isn't something like this is just a emulated port.

That's xenosaga ep 1 and 2.
Xenosaga and xenogears are not officially linked, there's callbacks to their previous work but xenosaga is a different series for the most part.

the Perfect Works Build adds some QoL as well retranslates the game

I dunno. If you played Xenoblade 3 Future Redeemed, it seems there's a bit of hope, even if that means only ports for current platforms. It's just wishful thinking, but it doesn't cost anything

Sadly they can't recompile Xenogears into a finished game.
