Ten days ago, the official Square Enix Music YouTube channel posted a new Xenogears arrangement, featuring the track “Windy Song” performed on accordion and Irish harp.
Initially composed by Yasunori Mitsuda, this arrangement was helmed by Yuka Fujino on accordion and Chiaki Umeda on Irish harp.
Xenogears is a PlayStation 1 JRPG often considered a masterclass for its intricately woven narrative and compelling setting. Many fans have been clamoring for an HD-2D remake, as it has been largely neglected aside from merchandise and a PlayStation 3 PSN release.
Set in a world suffering from war, protagonist Fei Fong Wong eventually finds himself confronting a machine perceived as a god, Deus. Combat featured mecha-like components with usable mechs called Gears.
Xenogears was the first entry of the Xeno series, which is well-known nowadays for Xenoblade. However, unlike the rest of the games, Square Enix owns Xenogears, making the idea of a remake a curious one. Other Xeno games include the Xenosaga entries, which weren’t exactly significant commercial successes. Xenoblade on the Wii is when the franchise started to grow in popularity, especially in the West.
