Heres what they have under their Tokyo office recruitment section:

Programmer
Planner
3DCG Designer (Urgent!)
2D Designer
Effect Designer
Motion Designer
Project Manager

Followed by one for the Kyoto office:

3DCG Designer (Mass Recruitment!)
Effect Designer
Motion Designer

Also a reminder that Tetsuya Takahashi wants to focus on story for his next game:

Keep in mind that Xenoblade Chronicles X executive director Tetsuya Takahashi previously commented in the guidebook for the RPG that hed like to use the experience him and Monolith Soft have obtained in the development of Xenoblade Chronicles X in order to make his next title something that is rich in story.

They are first party, wouldn't it make sense for them to have access to those before third parties did?

Alcoholikaust · Oct 16, 2015

With what they were able to accomplish on Wii and WiiU hardware....

Yes it would and that will very likely be the case anyway. No reason to draw a line between these two.

also anyone who brings up that old ass recruitment artwork from Honne to revive the "where's their 3DS game" BS gets smacked in the face.

RPGCrazied · Oct 16, 2015

People to help with the Xenosaga HD collection? I still want that to happen.

Nibel · Oct 16, 2015

Please get new 3D character modellers as well

I imagine they probably had some input into them too, but maybe Nintendo have just started distributing finalised/close to final kits.

Yeah....that's not happening, unless it's an NX exclusive.

Still up in there air. @Harada_TEKKEN basically said he would find another way, whatever that means. But he did say he wanted the original team working on the HD version.

Problem was more that the concept artist for the humans didn't design in a way that was suited for 3d

They need animators more than modellers

RPGCrazied · Oct 16, 2015

And here is the last tweet he made about it.

DarkLegion · Oct 16, 2015

Rich in story? I'm down for that.

Excited to see what they can do with new hardware.

DJIzana · Oct 16, 2015

I'm hoping they do a new IP or something more fantasy based. I'll take ANYTHING from Monolith Soft (to be honest) but yeah, I'd prefer something entirely different.

Aostia · Oct 16, 2015

Peru said:

If this is true, that would be the first time third parties receive devkit at the same time at internal studios.
and that would be great, honestly

btw, excited about what Monolith can do with their "next" game (in 2020 probably

)

The original team is a first party Nintendo studio.

TheMoon said:
Sticking with his scenario, MLSI wouldn't be working on it anyway if it were multiplat.

Yeah, that's my point. If Xenosaga HD becomes a reality, it's only going to be worked on my Monolith if it's exclusively for a Nintendo platform. And that's very unlikely to happen.

The Witcher 3 graphics in a high fantasy open world. I'm drooling.

It could still happen, but it would be a Nintendo exclusive.

Yeah, but Namco owns the Xenosaga franchise. They can release it on anything they want. Sure, probably would need Nintendo's okay if Monolith is involved.

Ugh I hope not. All the big open world RPGs save Fallout are fantasy based. Need some variety in the genre.

This is indeed very necessary.

raven777 · Oct 16, 2015

I hope their next game is more linear/story based RPG like Xenosaga series.

Nintendo has nothing to do with Xenosaga. (Copyright wise or otherwise)

Hero of Legend · Oct 16, 2015

It's pretty obvious that if Harada does want the original team for Xenosaga HD then it's Nintendo exclusive, goes without saying.

Guymelef · Oct 16, 2015

Disaster: Day of Crisis Remastered.

RPGCrazied · Oct 16, 2015

No, but they own the studio that developed it for the PS2.

Would buy instantly. Or just Disaster 2.

RPGCrazied said:

Which is irrelevant in this case.

Of course, which is what I have said throughout this thread.

You're right, they can release it on anything they want. But they aren't going to be using Monolith for that.

And "probably would need Nintendo's okay"? You do realize Monolith is 100% owned by the big N, right?

While that would be a shame if it came instead of another Xeno-something, I would actually love if the eventual Amiibo game is a RPG.

Which would make the prospect of anything but a Nintendo exclusive rather unlikely. I don't think there's anything that Bamco could offer up in return for having one of their biggest studios working on a game for a competing platform. It's much more likely for Bamco to ask for Monolith's blessing on doing their own remaster than getting them to work on it directly.

Neoxon · Oct 16, 2015

My guess, they're gearing up for the next Xenoblade game on the NX Platform. I just hope that the NX Handheld is sufficiently powerful enough to not hold back Monolith's vision. Either that or they're allowed to make it NX Console-only if the NX Handheld is too much of a hinderance.

Glass Rebel · Oct 16, 2015

Sorry to rain on your parade but this is obviously the NX-exclusive Dragon Ball Z: Attack of the Saiyans sequel.

Zenaku · Oct 16, 2015

They've surely already started work on Xenoblade X2. I just hope they can get it ready soon, as I don't want to wait nigh on 5 years for it.

ViewtifulJC · Oct 16, 2015

How about they hire some artists so they next game doesn't look ugly as sin
