Xenoblade is the story of a rebirth: that of the Monolith Soft studio and its iconic creator, Tetsuya Takahashi. Takahashi first experienced two successive failures in the realization of his life's project. Consumed by the excessive ambition of their stories blending science fiction, philosophy, and religion, Xenogears and Xenosaga ended abruptly and painfully. Takahashi then changed his approach. With the help of Nintendo, which bought his studio, he emphasized the pleasure of the game; in this, Xenoblade marks both the purity and synthesis and the culmination of the great Xeno series.

While the stories are more direct, less dense and convoluted, they are still driven by deep themes and strong emotions. Above all, they are enhanced by epic adventures, where the player is invited to travel across plains stretching as far as the eye can see, on the bodies of gigantic deities.

Whether through the Xenoblade trilogy or the experimental Xenoblade Chronicles X, Takahashi and Monolith have conquered a new audience while proving that the JRPG genre was still capable of impressing and renewing itself. Behind the scenes of development, universe, themes, music, game design: through this book, the author Jérémie Priam explores all the ingredients that have allowed the Xenoblade games to rise to the top of the genre and become works of love for millions of players.
