Xenoblade Chronicles is a series of role-playing games created by Tetsyua Takahashi and Monolith Soft, and released by Nintendo. Xenoblade Chronicles is the third series in the Xeno franchise, spanning Xenogears and the Xenosaga series. While most of the games are unconnected in storyline, they share many common themes and elements to link them as a franchise. According to Takahashi, the "Xeno" prefix is used as a means of identifying his games and as a means of referencing Monolith Soft's previous works.
History
The Xeno franchise began with Xenogears, which began development as a rejected premise for Final Fantasy VII. The game was originally planned to be the first release in a six part series, but plans for the later games were scrapped due to the developers leaving Square Enix, the owners of the game. The team then formed Monolith Soft and, under Namco, developed the Xenosaga series, a spiritual successor to Xenogears. Xenosaga was also planned to be six games, but was cut down to three due to the first game underperforming on release.
Monolith Soft was later bought by Nintendo and made a first-party developer. During development of Disaster: Day of Crisis, Tetsuya Takahashi had the idea to develop a new game set on the backs of two gods, and while originally intended to be released as an original game Satoru Iwata suggested it be changed to Xenoblade to reflect the past games and Takahashi's hard work. The Xenoblade series currently spans two games, the first of which also receiving a handheld remake, and one upcoming title.
