About Xenogears:
The development of the popular game Xenogears, produced by Hiromichi Tanaka and with art direction by Yasuyuki Honne and character designs by Kunihiko Tanaka. The game's scenario was written by director Tetsuya Takahashi and Kaori Tanaka, and features anime cut scenes created by Koichi Mashimo's Bee Train and CGI sequences by Shirogumi. Development took approximately two years with a staff of thirty developers, and the themes and story were heavily influenced by the works of Friedrich Nietzsche, Sigmund Freud, and Carl Jung, as well as dystopian science fiction films. The English translation was a challenge due to its numerous scientific concepts and religious references, but it was eventually released in North America in 2011.
