Twenty years ago this day, Square released the groundbreaking Xenogears for the PlayStation console. Originally conceived as a possible FFVII and even Chrono 2, the game known as Project Noah became it's own cult hit and propelled the careers of Testuya Takahashi and his wife, Soraya Saga, as well as showing off once again the talents of Yasunori Mitsuda, Masato Kato, and Hiromichi Tanaka. The ambitious title began before VII's development but was completed a year after it. The rookie director's ambition overstretched the budget and so the second half of the game had to have several moments cut and the entire second disc was given a more "artistic" design in order to complete the game. Months later, his team would release Perfect Works to help fans fill in the gaps left by the unfinished game. Square's refusal to continue the ambitious series led to key members of the team to leave Square and form Monolith Soft with help from Namco.
