Under the new staff, the original script saw several changes and its planned six-part structure cut down by half.

Following the release of the first game, the Xenosaga series was given over to new staff with Takahashi both supervising the project and providing the draft scripts. Tetsuya Takahashi created Xenosaga as a spiritual successor to the Square-produced Xenogears, for which he founded Monolith Soft with help from Namco multiple Xenogears staff returned, including co-writer Soraya Saga. The party fights both on foot and in a variety of mechs. Gameplay across the series is similar, with the characters being guided through a linear narrative and fighting enemies using a turn-based combat system. Forming part of the wider Xeno metaseries, Xenosaga is set in a science fiction universe and follows a group of characters as they face both a hostile alien race called the Gnosis and human factions fighting for control of the Zohar, an artifact connected to a god-like energy called U-DO. Xenosaga is a role-playing video game series developed by Monolith Soft and primarily published by Namco.
