Square Enix throws a bone to Xenogears fans on the classic JRPG's 28th anniversary, but with no remake or remaster in sight, folks are behaving exactly as you'd expect: "I'm on my knees here"

An anime-style cutscene in Xenogears.

February 11 marks the 28th anniversary of the beloved JRPG Xenogears, and Square Enix is offering one tiny crumb of a birthday cake: a single tweet acknowledging the game's existence. Still, that's the most official validation Xenogears diehards have gotten in years, and many are already taking the opportunity to beg for a remake. Or a remaster. Or any kind of modern release at all.

Square Enix's tweet is a simple celebration of Xenogears' legacy, calling it (via machine translation) "a new generation cybernetic RPG that radiates unparalleled originality." That's honestly a pretty fair description of the 1998 PS1 game's reputation, which looms large despite the fact that it hasn't gotten a rerelease since the PS3 era.
