Bandai Namco has trademarked "Also Sprach Zarathustra" in the United States

[KoolAid]

This, is, of course, a famous poem by Richard Strauss.

Hmm, that name does sound familiar, though... where have I seen it before...

Spoiler

Xenosaga remaster hype?

 

[Keym]

ABOUT TIME.

 

[Hero of Legend]

 

[Hecht]

[Cess007]

[twentytwo22]

Image in the OP is broken.

 

[Death Stranding]

HD collection?

 

[Akselziys]

I need this in my life ASAP <3

Xenogears and Xenosaga for life :D

 

[srtrestre]

Dayum

 

[Eolz]

Hmmmm. Definitely Xenosaga related.

 

[Aeana]

If they're going to be remastering these, I hope they do all three and not just the third one.

 

[Deleted member 15428]

You can trademark things in the public domain?

 

[Eila]

[Deleted member 8791]

Make it a Monolithsoft collab!

 

[Durante]

I'd buy Xenosaga HD Trilogy on Steam.

 

[adel]

I don't even want a remek
HD collection would be enough.

 

[Puffy]

Can't wait to play this on the couch

 

[Chromanin]

Really hated this series, including 3.

Not that 3 was a bad game, but talk about a really shitty cliffhanger ending that will never be continued. Fuck that shit.

 

[Qwark]

I never got to play the third one, I would love a remaster collection so much!

 

[Mifec]

Perfect for my PC.

 

[whiteninja]

Hopefully these arnt just gonna be ports of the ps2 games but rather new, uncensored localizations.

They can trademark it in the context of a video game title, which is what they've done.

Fuuuuuck yeaaaaah
I am locing all these classic rereleases
Hopefully we get a pc release too to further help preserve the games

 

[Joqu]

please please please

 

[Dreamboum]

Harada is going to deliver

 

[Sesha]

Hnnnnnngh.

 

[Hektor]

Also Sprach Zarathustra is mostly known as a book of Friedrich Nitzsche, a book that was also the inspiration for this much less relevant composer.
Puhlease.

A book that was also the inspiration for the Xenosaga games (they all have titles citing Nietzsche's work.)

 

[Deleted member 249]

Oh god please

Anyone can reprint the poem, but only Bamco will be able to use that particulat line when marketing goods of whatever category this trademark is for.

 

[Deleted member 8861]

Why should I care about Xenosaga? I don't mean this in a flippant way, it's heartwarming to see people get excited over reexperiencing their past favorites so I wanna hear why people are excited for this!

 

[Ridley327]

Seems really strange to trademark just the third game, even if it is generally held up as the best of the trilogy. They couldn't possibly get away with just doing one of them for a remaster, right?

 

[retrobotjr]

I just played Xenogears for the first time and loved it, would love to try the saga series too!

 

[Serenity Lotus]

Incoming mobile version! \o/

As long as they keep Albedo's "censored" scene from the first game.

They might remaster all three, and sell them under the subtitle of the third game only, idk to be honest.

 

[Fou-Lu]

I hope that they use this opportunity to make the three games more unified. Same artstyle, same VO, fill in the blanks as needed. But I would still be super happy with a straight uprezzed port.

 

[Filament Star]

These would be great on PS4!

 

[JetstreamRorschach]

I'm rock hard.

 

[Phamit]

Also Sprach Zarathustra is a book by Friedrich Nietzsche, it influenced Strauß work.

The Xenosaga subtitles are Nietzsche references

 

[Wilsongt]

Maybe Xenosaga coming to PS2 classics?

 

[Eolz]

oh yeah, for those that don't remember, Harada's reply after his failed petition (that still got around 10k signatures) on twitlonger

 

[Evergarden]

It's KOS-MOS time!!

 

[asd202]

Interesting.

Well unless this is a switch exclusive hd trilogy codeveloped by monolithsoft including an epilogue

 

[Wandu]

I remember buying the whole Xenosaga on PS2 and never played them at all. I hope it is a remaster that I could finally get to playing on PS4.

 

[starfox]

 

[Aeana]

It looks like they still have an active trademark for Xenosaga 2's subtitle (though they had one for 3's, as well, and still registered a new one). However, they don't have one for der Wille zur Macht that I can find.
