- Xenogears Remake Gameplay Reveal
I'm a 3D artist, and I worked on this project in my spare time, using it as an opportunity to study and become more familiar with Unreal Engine 5. Creating something related to Xenogears has been on my mind for a while. After watching the Star Ocean: The Second Story R gameplay, I got inspired to make something similar. I handled everything from modeling to texturing and shading, with the exception of the FX effects and the original sprites. I've utilized Unreal Engine 5, Maya, Zbrush, Houdini, Substance Painter, Megascan Textures, and SpeedTree.
This project is a homage to one of my favorite games. I adore Yasunori Mitsuda's music and am also a fan of Tetsuya Takahashi's games. Back in the 2000s, I remember completing the game in Japanese when I was a teenager; at that time, I didn't know any Japanese, and my understanding of English was still limited. I recall being stuck many times, and my strategy was to talk to everyone until something happened. Back then, I didn't have internet access to research. But upon completing it, I knew I had experienced something incredible. The same was true for FFVII, which I also finished in Japanese around the same period.
This project won't be available for download; it's solely for study purposes and for fun. I will post more about the project soon on my ArtStation.

Xenogears Fanart Project is a fan-made project inspired on the Xenogears franchise created by SquareEnix. Xenogears is a trademarks of SquareEnix.
Honestly Xenogears is a game that deserves a remake. Especially everything on the second disk. This is a game that, for all its greatness, was very very obviously not finished.
And considering it was supposed to be like part 6 of 7 lol. Could have been one hell of a ride
I dont trust Square Enix to do it right. They will censor the absolute piss out of it.
nah, they should just remaster it and then complete what was cut/scrapped in the same style so it all blends together. remaking it would take more time/money
Remaster with updated character sprite and model,adding more cut content will be better start before a full remake
Yup but, do you really want today squenix to put their greasy, greedy hands on xenogears?
Xenogears is still to this day, my most favorite game of all time. Incredible work!
It is the best game ever made. I really REALLY wish the new Xeno games had Takahashi's wife on the story writing team with him like Gears did. The Xeno series really lacks that Gears "punch" without her (despite also being great games regardles)
Likewise!
Mine is Suikoden 2, but Xenogears is close behind
me to, not to mention Xenogears is also one of the games that still in the top10 game chart for 10 years straight due to it's popularity in gameplay and storyline
I agree with you. This is my favorite game of all time too. Not only dis I play this game over and over and over for years but, I played it so much that the game disk wore out and I had to buy replacement disks. At one point, I wanted to plan for the future and bought 5 copies and put them in storage. I still play the game whenever I get the itch on my ps vita.
Dreaming of this for the past 20+ years...
No other games deserves a remake more than Gears!
I would pay so much for a remake in this style. Xenogears is my favorite game of all time...
I second this
Third
Fourth
As the 5th hokage. I say remake it on PC!!!
I would pay a full price for a complete remake like this one. Congratulations for your incredible effort!
So would I
I'd drop up to $100 easy maybe even $200 for this.
@@mikenemeth7484 with a fully realized disk 2, I would easily pay $200 lol such a great gem
please make it come out on PC lol
@@agetec5 I got an idea 💡 hear me out let hit up the creators of the game I'm sure they will listen to our crys
That's crazy. I just searched RUclips yesterday to see if anyone had done something like this yet. 24hours later and this gets recommended!! Nice work!
Well how about *Final Fantasy VIII Remake - AI Generated* looks also quite nice, if you overlook the creepy smiles that is😉😅 Fascinating what AI can do(also worrysome i guess)
SquareEnix should do the Xenogears remake instead of those nonsense games in recent showcase and there exclusivity in game platform 🤔.
Unfortunately it might not be the whole game and secondly, it won't be available to download and play.
Looks fantastic. See Square, YOU can make this game look superb, providing you're will to do it.
Google will us
This is a dream come true. Bless you for taking the time to realize a project like this. I could only hope to see a finished Xenogears remake someday
I wouldn't even need the upgraded graphics, just finish the story so that these characters that I came to love would have the full closure that they deserve. Still this is gorgeous to look at and it's always nice seeing others giving this game attention. I'll keep dreaming for a rework/remake of Xenogears. Cheers to you for this!
I would buy a Xenogears remake in a heartbeat. One of my all time favorites.
How I wish Xenogears gets a remake treatment as Star Ocean The Second Story:R
And a finished DISC 2
Yeah that's the most important part for me if they decide to remake @@HollowRick the original disc 2 is a bit disappointing
I can only imagine the effort to put all these things to work together (3D bg, 2D sprites, minimap etc etc) and I know how much passionate Vitor is about Xenogears, that's why he could make it. For sure it's a fresh take on what a Xenogears remake/remaster could be and it is an awesome tribute to one of the greatest JRPG ever made.
Simplesmente o deboche, mano! \m/
"Music is a mysterious thing. Sometimes, it makes people remember things that they do not expect. Many thoughts, feelings, memories... things almost forgotten. Regardless of whether the listener desires to remember them or not." --Citan Uzuki
Let me correct you on that. Scientifically speaking, music (ear), smell (nose), anything visual (eyes), and taste (tongue) will cause you to remember things associated with them. The brain use these senses to "attach" certain memory to certain things, for future reference or to recall easily memories. There is of course more to it than just that but to stay on topic: this is not just music, it has to do with all 5 senses.
That's why some have tears when eating cookies remembering their grandma.
Some have tears when hearing music because that particular music is associated with some childhood memory.
And so on...
@@mindsoulbody It's a quote from the game. Love the icon! XBC2 is still my favorite.
@@eternalbleedingheart Can you please attribute the quote to "Citan Uzuki", so that people can know that it's from the game?
@@TheRebornExpert Sure. Updated!
@@eternalbleedingheart Thank you very much!! 😁👍
OMG. I love you.
Watching this in the early morning, sure will change the mood of my day.
Thank you very much for this amazing project. Would love to have more.
Xenogears is a game that didn't get much attention from developer as well as the era of remakes. Seeing how the second disc was rushed , while the story had so much to tell , as well as the whole xeno storyline.
This is one of the best things i have ever laid my eyes on, words cannot describe how this short demo made me feel, thank you for this
This is perfect! The blend between 2D sprites and 3D environment is incredible and beautiful. Xenogears is my favorite game of all time, and it always makes me happy to see it's the same for other people. Congrats on the amazing work!
If this got the Star Ocean 2 remake style, I'd be so down for this.
We need more of this! Absolutely great work!! This brings joy to my heart!!!
Absolutely remarkable. It almost feel like Square Enix and Monolith has some bad blood with each other for not ever remaking this..
They made the Xenosaga games, but honestly I don't think they wanted to touch the original story because of the religious story parts. Japanese companies in general are very conservative, so they didn't want to ruffle any feathers. They never released this game in Europe because they feared backlash for the parts of the story that contained religious themes.
Not in bad blood stage. More like "whom are you working with now?"
Another reason. Still remember Harada said higher-ups in Bandai Namco unwilling to give Xenosaga remaster solely "because it's a niche title". You can assume based on that alone why Square Enix pushing their other more known titles rather than Xenogears
Simply the best PS1 rpg so far and Square Enix just forgot to make a remake. Amazing work for recreating Xenogears's intro. Congratulations! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Squaresoft was really juggling between Final Fantasy 7, Chronos Cross, Legend of Mana and Xenogears back then and the last two games lost out majorly to the first two, Chronos Cross eventually got delayed in favor of FF7.
If Square understood how much money most fans would be willing to drop on a remake/remaster and a FINISHED disk 2... They would do it. They just don't get it.
This was awesome! So glad this showed up in my recommendations!
Just beautiful, love the village, love that you kept the 2D sprites (That Highlight in the Sun and Darkens in the buildings shadows).
The studio who make xenogear is now part of nintendo. I had played some of their game but I think Xenogear is the master piece
That's gorgeous. Wonderful work. Please do more with Xenogears!
This is a dream come true. Congratulations for your incredible effort!!
SQUARE ENIX GIVE THIS GUY A JOB!
This is the best thing i have seen all year since Star Ocean 2 remake, no kidding! this was my very first jrpg so it's quite special to me
The actual remake or a fan remake?
I always wanted someone to do a fan made piece of idea of what a Xenogears remake could look like. I'm surprised it's only one of the first since we all want this remake! But this one is gorgeous!!
That's the most impressive 2D/3D blended world I've ever seen!
We must keep faith for a remake. Krellian demands it.
Loved this game growing up, shame that we’ll probably never get a rerelease considering the Xeno license is all over the place.
This is the dream I want to experience for almost 26 years
This is amazing. I love Xenogears and this feels like a love letter to how it felt in my mind.
This deserve to be known, I'll make a reaction video about your fanmade project! This is what SE should have done already instead of losing money on bad games such as Forspoken and Harvestella.
Gracias a la comunidad italiana fue posible la traducción de Xenogears a muchos otros idiomas y ahora más de 15 años después otra vez la comunidad Italiana (entiendo por tu apellido que lo eres, sino corrigeme) volvemos a ver todo un detallazo impresionante con Xenogears, de verdad estás jugando demasiados con los sentimientos de muchas personas mostrando esto -3- en verdad muchas gracias por algo así, espero muchos éxitos en el proyecto y que llegue a buen puerto. Larga vida a la comunidad y en especial a la comunidad italiana.
Yo this is actually going to make me cry!!! I need this so bad!!
OMG, how was i just thinking of this game being remade and boom, someone is actually doing it.
Absolutely wonderful remaster, captures exactly what I want from a Gears remake.
If there's one more scene I'd want to see in this style, it's gotta be Grahf's introduction.
Thank You so much for making this!
This looks really amazing!
I'd easily drop 500€ on a collector's edition of a good, faithful HD-2D remake of this game. I'm not even joking. Xenogears has remained one of the greatest games of all time for me.
I know it'll never happen, and I don't even know if it makes sense without anyone of the original team at the helm, but one can dream.
Hahaha I am dreaming too and still dreaming... I really hope they remake Xenogears just like the Star ocean 2nd story R
incredible work!
... and i NEED that nisan pendant as a loop
Great to see so much passion of into reviving at least part of Xenogears. This is one of my all-time favourite games. I really wish it could get remastered/remade someday. Thank you for this small taste of it!
Man what I wouldn’t give for a full remake
That's incredible!
Well, if square enix still ignoring us for xenogears and chrono trigger remakes, then let's agree with them to launch a kickstarter 👍
Sublime effort! Love that the sprite is effected bay the sun light, and that final shot gave goosebumps! If i may give a recomendation, I would preserve the original camera point of view and the angle snap so that the sprites can ben seen and animated in they original percepective.
Maybe one day, when I'm old and SE has remaked everything that was possible, they will finally understand that Vagrant Story and Xenogears are one of the best games they've ever made and remake them.
😊thank you for giving me hope. I've been playing Xenogears every year since it came out. I finish it almost every year or two.
Bring back good memories
What a beautiful video! I never imagined Xenogears could look like this before!
This looks incredible! I’d love to hear a full version of that Lahan remix!
It's the one from the XENOGEARS CREID album.
Man if Xenogears comes back take my money now. This game was just something special. Combat and Mechs. The music was something special
Also the story.. 😁
20 years later, and I'm still listening to this soundtrack 😆. What an amazing game.
One of the greatest games of all time
Thanks for making this and for reminding me of my love for this game. Your art is beautiful but i especially appreciated how you were faithful to the original pixel art with Fei.
Man, you gave me a reason to live. Subscribed.
It hurts to watch what will never be, but thank you this is amazing!!
i'm absolutely floored by how beautiful this looks. i only hope i see a remaster/remake of this game in my lifetime. excellent work, mate.
If the game gets remade like this including remaking disc 2 it would overshadow most games in the last 20 years.
When you really feeling it 2:31
i'm not a xenogears fan but i'm hype
Oh no. I wish for this to be a reality someday. It's been so long. 😢
Hopefully I will still be alive to see this thing fully fleshed out.
Boy it SURE WAS NICE being EXCITED FOR FIVE SECONDS and then realizing this wasn't real.
OMG this looks so good. I would love to see this come to life would buy it instantly. Gears needs a Remake like this.
What an incredible project. I can't wait to see more from you!
awesome work!
looking forward to seeing citans house - i myself modeled my version of it some time ago, I intend on working more on it and developing more my skills
This is art! This has to become real!
Man, broke my heart. I already knew it was fan-made before watching, but I guess I still hoped a bit. Nice work btw.
Amazing amigo! Thank you.
Amazing how music can trigger so many memories.. Instantly brought me back to Christmas break 1999 - I was 13 and had just got Xenogears for Xmas! I still remember chilling up in our families game room and playing this all night! I can't believe its already going on what 24-25? years since then? Insane.
Omg the soundtrack of this game always takes me back in time and gives me joy. Not sure what it is but I love this game with all my heart. Along with Valkirie Profile, Lunar Saga: The Silver Star Story Complete, Wild Arms and Chrono Chross... Pure magic
Music is so good that reminds me of the experience at that time and excite. スクエニ、聞いてるか？絶対に成功するリメイクがここにある。I hope that they will remake…
WOW!
Fantastic work! I hope you're proud of yourself!
omg man when the music started i cried T_T, this is incredible.
This game even after everything I played after is my absolute favorite. Every rpg I ever bought was because of xenogears.
You're doing God's work Vitor! If Square doesn't want to give us a Remake to the BEST videogame narrative of all time, then we, the fans, will do it ourselves! Excellent work!! 😁👍
They closed a Chrono Trigger remake in 3D 20 years ago, this is going nowhere
@@santitabnavascues8673 That was Chrono Trigger, this is Xenogears. Xenogears is TRULY built different. 🫡

Naturally. It isn't meant to go anywhere. Reading the description, it clearly states this will not ever be released. It is purely for educational purposes.
At best, it can be seen as a "proof of concept" to what such a project may potentially look like if Square ever chose to release it in a way similar to Star Ocean 2 R.
I love the concept of having the world be "photorealistic" while the character models are old-school pixel art. This is the way.
Edit: omg I just realized at the 0:49 mark that his shadow is 2d!!!
Youre approach of high resolution environment and pixel texture avatar is appealing. I hope you make an original game in this style!
Mad respect!🫡
This is really making me wish I could download Xenogears on my PS5.
All the same this looks REALLY awesome, and I kinda dig the old PS1 sprites on that background.
I love that you kept the sprites.
Wow. Nice use of the music too. Great concept to blend hi def 3d modeling with the original sprites.
This looks incredible and honestly, I like this more realistic style for Xenosaga. Thanks for all the love and hard work you put in!
Omg , you need a zillion subs for this. awesome work.
Amazing
This glimpse of "what would it look like" surely excited me. I forgot for a moment that the creator of this game, left Square and already founded his own company.
Bro this is sick! A remake in this form would be crazy tbh. Keeping that nostalgic look while updating the environments
Thank you for this amazing tribute to our beloved game! I would simply die of delight if I ever saw, say, the Elementals gears forming Erdekaiser in this style. Or even ID throwing a certain submarine around!
this game needs a remake and revamp when you get to the second disc of the story...
I just got goosebumps just watching this,hearing the music.Sigh...the one thing we willl never see;a remake of this game.This was THE one game that pierced my soul.
WOW thats.. just.. beautiful.
The greatest game of all time. Never got the same feeling as I got from playing Xenogears as a kid. A true masterpiece it is a huge shame Square & Mono won't collaborate just to recreate and complete the second disc. I love FF7 but Xenogears is a plateau above, regardless of the sales etc, Xenogears is definitely better.
It just boggles my mind how Square Enix decided to not give a crap about any of their IPs-not-named-Final-Fantasy anymore. Even just releasing the games AS IS to modern platforms would do nice numbers for them, and remastering them would probably not cost that much. Heck, a remake LIKE THIS would more than satisfy most of us, I assume.
Come on already, Square Enix. DO SOMETHING OTHER than Final Fantasy for once.
This is awesome. I like how the shadow is accurate for the 2d character and it's just a thin line at the right angle.
Good luck!!! Looks awesome 😎
Nice job, great side project for the portfolio. Hopefully this drums up some more interesting projects for ya.
This reminded me a lot of star ocean and then i read the video description :D
Looks great!
Never played a Xenogears game but I would play the hell out of something like this. As a proof of concept I love the blend of 2D pixel art with 3D environments. Crazy that it really hasn't been done before at the scale of a full sized game! Good luck to you man, hope you end up where you want to be!
