Supergenius is being able to make devices that can make tier 1 entities. Klaus never did any of this nor was he the only person working on that project.

If he constructed Conduit from scratch as opposed to merely discovering it; then maybe he could qualify. But he merely discovered and worked hard to organize planning, so Extraordinary Genius seems more consistent.

Not really, they got their powers from The Conduit. Klaus just made AI.

LET’s GO!! More Xenoblade! I am so excited!

We got Xenoblade Chronicles Definitive Edition, 2 and 3 Nintendo Switch 2 editions and a brand new game in the same Direct!

Yes! Not to mention, Genesis has a look that reminds me of Metaphor: Refantazio's character models with Three Houses' backgrounds.

Yeah, if they didn't cover Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave and Metaphor: ReFantazio earlier and mentioned that this was a new Xenoblade Chronicles game, I would've assumed that this one of those two.
I think it's super interesting that we're getting a more fantasy inspired Xenoblade Chronicles game.
- 2,319

Interesting they’re going for a full fantasy look this time. Or maybe it’s a bait and switch like 2. Perhaps the six suns might play a role in that.

So, this is what the new armor for Xenoblade Chronicles Definitive Edition looks like.
- 34,862

I will say the biggest change is that it's just called Xenoblade Genesis, they removed "Chronicles" from the title to show a new era. But yeah, while party members and chain attacks are likely still big part, I think the combat is becoming more action heavy too. There was a hint that many assumed was a brand new IP (Which could still be possible), but the idea of it being a hybrid formula between Xenoblade Chronicles and Wild era Legend of Zelda looks like the direction they're going.

I'm not convinced.
Even when accounting for Takahashi's statement about 'the end of the Klaus saga' (which given that statement was before FR's release, and the way he panicked around XCXDE, it's unlikely he was even being truthful about that), the only way you're going to link this in any way to the current series is if it's used as an explanation for that whole 'what happened to those born in the City in the Endless Now when Origin got shut down?' question that's been murmured in ancillary criticism the last I checked (and even then, this would only suggest a regression of the series technology given what's been shown). Particle effects that vaguely resemble Ouroboros/Interlinking isn't enough to fly me here.

I am really curious on all this. This world seems very different from what we know but I wonder how it became like that. I do not think the God they mentioned is going to be Zanza but rather another evil deity figure we'll fight later. I do wonder how this'll connect to the other games but we'll have to wait and see.
- 2,319
- 2,569
I mean it is a new saga. It might not even connect beyond some easter eggs or references.

Its possible! I'll assume it'll connect though given its Takahashi and that man cannot help himself on connecting everything. My guess is that its another universe in the multiverse and we'll find out more later. Something I was interested in though was Anima. It functioned exactly like Xenoblade 1's Ether does and the entire world there is made of it which has me wonder why that is the case. What happened to cause that world to be made of this energy like how 1 was made of ether.

You know full well I agree with this statement for a VERY different reason...
- 2,319
- 2,569
If it’s going to connect, one theory I have is that perhaps it’s a dimension connected to Pneuma in some way, since both Anima and Pneuma have the same meaning of “breath” or “spirit”
- 34,862
- 42,457
I'm sure it's the same multiverse somewhere down the line, but it is a new saga as in expect the main focus of the plot to consist of new characters. Though the subtitle "Genesis" does given distant prequal vibes. One note is that "Anima" appears to be the new name/term of "Ether." Many speculate if there may be a connection of Anima and Animus mentioned in Xenosaga.
Given that Namco Bandai has recently removed Xenosaga from list of owned IPs, it hints something but we don't know for certain.

Also a bit late to respond to this, but:
May I humbly remind people that the place Zanza is fought is called ‘Sentient Genesis’?

Somehow, I just now learned this thread exists. It's good to be a Xenoblade fan right now.
For some reason, it reminded me of Trails of Cold Steel when I saw the trailer. Which is weird, because I've never played any Trails games...

I really hope they add a lot more side quests to level up in the midst of the story for the 1st game (this was a problem I personally encountered) around the High Entia arc where you start fighting some Telethia the difficulty really ramps up, and the worst part is unlike XB2 there really isn't much to do in the game to level up efficiently.
For XB2 field skills and the gacha need a big overhaul, since field skills are by nature inherently tied to the blades you own, if they fix the gacha and add an actual pity system (and please don't just copy genshin's 90 pity and 50/50 system) then the field skills will by nature feel a lot worse. Also maybe increase the amount of core crystals you can get from farming or making a specific daily/weekly quest where you get...idk...5 or 8 core crystals a week or smth.
I haven't played the 3rd game so I can't comment on anything there, I heard the update for these were like 20gb? For a switch game that's a decently large chunk, but that could also just be 75% graphics and the other 25% could be the few things they teased (which I seriously hope is not the case) but what do you guys think?

Looks like there's at least one connection to the past games:
- 4,727

Forgive me if I come off as ignorant, but can I ask for a source on this? This is the first time I'm actually hearing about it, so now I'm kinda curious.
- 34,862

There have been videos talking about it since January. Where it WAS listed on the Namco's website on list of owned IPs last year and prior that can be seen via Wayback Machine. But as of 2026, it was removed entirely.
- 3,133
- 3,551
I'd give Takahashi credit where it's due... if it weren't a distinction without a difference given the exchange of money over what was effectively a cameo at the time (I of course refer to the Yuriev 'mention', and the lie that Ghosts = Gnosis (they don't...)).
The closer this scrub from BN was to the release of XCXDE, the less of an excuse it would have been for Takahashi.
- 4,727
- 6,723
If this was back in January, that probably explains why I never heard about it: that was a rather hectic month for me...
But if it turns out to be true, that actually would be pretty significant coming from Nintendo. As the video pointed out, they usually only buy up developers like Monolith Soft, Retro Studios, and Next Level Games. I know they mentioned once that they were gonna be more open to acquisitions, but as far as I had been aware the only thing to come from that was them buying Bandai Namco's Singapore division. If it turns out they really did buy Xenosaga, I'm starting to wonder if it's somehow connected.
Sorry for the ramble, this sort of thing can be fascinating to me.
- 4,727

Welp, we got another Xenosaga connection:
- 34,862
- 42,457
- 3,133
- 3,551
On the one hand, her being a Blade in the same vain as KOS-MOS doesn’t mean as much as you’d like to think.
On the other… the timing of the IP being handed back to Takahashi is not lost on me…
- 3,133
- 3,551
In fact, now that I think about it, if we're going with the idea that KOS-MOS ended up as a blade in Alrest because of her being dead and her conciousness drifting through universes to be there - then MOMO doesn't even pass that proverbial vibe check. She isn't dead in III, and even that isn't relevant because this is a revised form of her XS1 design. How was she going to find the time to visit when she was basically on a ship portbound for Second Miltia before getting a revised design?
- 34,862
- 42,457
There's also T-elos appearing and having same story as KOS-MOS. And I'd recommend that MOMO probably has her own character quest and may appear in Heart to Hearts. So no need to jump to those conclusions too soon.
- 3,133
- 3,551
Sure, but (and I've said this before) this also wouldn't account for KOS-MOS allowing T-elos into herself in XS3:
I don't think an explanation for how KOS-MOS/T-elos re-separated for the proceedings of their appearance(s) in XC2 would do much here.
- 34,862
- 42,457
Just because T-elos doesn't have any explanations doesn't mean their different. It just means there are unknown barriers and is neutral/prone to speculation on either side. But "Merge with me!" followed by "Request declined" actually does reference them having the memories.
- 4,727
- 6,723
Actually, you might be onto something with that second thing:
When KOS-MOS and T-elos were shown off, they both had copyright notices for Bandai Namco, but MOMO doesn't seem to have one. Granted, it might just be the image they used for this, but it might be worth keeping an eye on just in case.
- 3,133
- 3,551
Just out of curiosity - did BN forfeit the XS IP before or after people noticed Caitlin Thorburn's VA listings getting updated?
- 4,727
- 6,723
Okay, so shortly after I posted that, somebody shared a link stating that BN still owns it:
j-platpat
Essentially, if a transition DID occur, it would likely be mentioned here. That being said, the purchase of Bandai Namco Singapore by Nintendo went through on April 1st, and they allegedly mentioned "other actions" still pendant after that. I'm not entirely sure what that means, so take it as you will.
