10 years ago in Japan, Xenosaga: Episode I was released. It honestly doesn’t feel like ten years have passed. It feels like yesterday. We at the forums have asked if anyone has been interested in doing some fanwork in the way of celebration, and this is what our group ponied up!

Hi there, folks!
Just in case anyone who visits this site doesn’t already have their nose to the ground looking for info on Xenoblade, Nintendo of America started to update their facebook page yesterday (December 2, 2011) at around 11am with a small gallery offering, then a link to the game teaser trailer as it appears on their official site. The trailer appears to be using the British English audio recorded by Nintendo of Europe, and the tentative release date for the game in the US is April 2012.

For folks who had (or decided to) to wait, it looks like your patience has paid off! I think a great deal of credit goes to Operation Rainfall and its dedicated members, and also to Nintendo of Europe for making it available, and the folks in Europe who bought it.  Sincerest thanks!

For an in-depth look at one of the Japanese art books for Xenoblade (or rather, the only one), hop on over to our forums, and in the section labeled “The Arsenal,” you will find something shiny.

Also, the Arsenal is also our Xenoblade discussion area. Feel free to chat up anyone. It’s been a little dead, and, despite the rumors or opinions of former forum staff members, our forum welcomes every and any fan of the Xeno series who comes our way, so long as they aren’t a spambot or break our house rules. Godsibb exists to keep the love of Xenosaga, Xenogears and now Xenoblade alive, and I believe that fandom exclusivity cannot factor into the running of any community, in any fandom, if it is to function properly and respectfully.
