He has worked on the opening scene of ''{{iw|wikipedia|Final Fantasy VI}}'', and as a graphic designer for ''{{iw|wikipedia|Chrono Trigger}}'', the latter where composer {{iw|xenoserieswiki|Yasunori Mitsuda}} would join him later in the ''Xeno'' franchise. While deciding potential scripts for what would eventually become ''{{iw|wikipedia|Final Fantasy VII}}'', Squaresoft decided against a script written by Takahashi on the basis of it being "too dark and complicated" for the company's vision of ''Final Fantasy''; however, Square and {{iw|wikipedia|Hironobu Sakaguchi}} allowed him to start the project as a new property instead. Takahashi, working with a subteam within Square, became the director of what was released in the Americas as ''{{iw|xenoserieswiki|Xenogears}}'' for the PlayStation in late 1998. The game, a science fiction JRPG featuring traditional combat that sometimes involves humanoid combat robots called "gears" - in accordance with various recurrent concepts in mecha genres - was a critical and commercial success in both Japan and the Americas, and received recognition for its ambitious approach to incorporating major themes into its storytelling and characterization, examining both the principles put forth by reputed philosophers and the theological concepts and devotional practices of several real-world religions. | ||
Though ''Xenogears'' was conceived as the fifth episode of a series of six, Square decided against devoting resources to further works related to ''Xenogears'' in favor of focusing on their flagship ''Final Fantasy'' series, which prompted Takahashi and much of the ''Xenogears'' staff to leave the company and form what would become [[Monolith Soft]] with the financial backing of [[Bandai Namco]]. Due to the legal rights of ''Xenogears'' remaining with Square, Takahashi could not create games that were direct extensions of the ''Xenogears'' continuity (despite what the end credits originally indicated), so he proceeded on a project that could more accurately be described as a reboot that shared thematic similarities: the ''{{iw|xenoserieswiki|Xenosaga}}'' trilogy (which was originally intended to be six games), published by Bandai Namco from 2002 to 2006 on the PlayStation 2. Set millennia in the future where Earth is no longer the primary homeworld of a space-faring humanity, the games feature different combat systems between each installment, all of which are mechanically separate from their spiritual PlayStation predecessor. References to other IPs from Namco were also present throughout this series, such as {{uv|Tekken}} with [[Kazuya Mishima]] in the first game. The series' reception was generally favorable, though review outlets tended to express more mixed opinions when comparing them with ''Xenogears'', finding fault with elements such as a much more lopsided cutscene-to-gameplay ratio and the removal of some of the acclaimed philosophical elements. | Though ''Xenogears'' was conceived as the fifth episode of a series of six, Square decided against devoting resources to further works related to ''Xenogears'' in favor of focusing on their flagship ''Final Fantasy'' series, which prompted Takahashi and much of the ''Xenogears'' staff to leave the company and form what would become [[Monolith Soft]] with the financial backing of [[Bandai Namco]].

This new entry was teased with the codename "X" in early 2013. The successor's title was finalized during E3 2014 as ''{{iw|xenoserieswiki|Xenoblade Chronicles X}}'' and released for [[Wii U]] in Japan on April 29, 2015 and on December 4, 2015 overseas. While not a direct sequel to the first entry, this game is instead a spiritual successor with an unrelated story that utilizes similar gameplay mechanics. However, their are some subtle connections to the first entry found in-game implying a shared universe, which was confirmed in later entries. Gameplay is largely similar to the first entry, with its major gimmick being characters can use both melee and ranged weapons and can pilot humanoid mechs called Skells to fight and traverse the game's enormous world, complete with smaller supplementary tools to aid in exploration and discovery. ''Xenoblade Chronicles X'' received mostly positive reviews and is generally received as a solid entry in the series with enough differences to play it over the others, although some elements like the soundtrack and obtuse user interface can be hard to swallow at times. The game sold roughly 400,000 copies, which was significantly less than the previous entry, though this can partially be attributed to the overall poor sales of the Wii U. This game did receive some controversy after release. Fans outside of Japan noticed that some content was removed during the localization process, including scantily clad costumes for canonically underage characters and a character creation slider for breast size. This caused some outrage that international players were getting an inferior product, though Tetsuya Takahashi has claimed that he personally does not mind these changes.<ref>[https://kotaku.com/xenoblade-chronicles-xs-director-on-localization-change-1796157409 Xenoblade Chronicles X's Director On Localization Changes: 'I Didn't Mind Much At All']</ref> The game was also the largest first party Wii U game ever made at 23 gigabytes, which was inflated even more with DLC packs that existed solely to fix performance issues, outright preventing many potential players from playing the game. | ||
A port of the original Wii title, titled ''{{iw|xenoserieswiki|Xenoblade Chronicles 3D}}'' was developed by Monster Games and released for the [[Nintendo 3DS|New Nintendo 3DS]] on April 2, 2015 in Japan, Europe, and Australia, and on April 10, 2015 in the Americas. The handheld port was lauded for preserving the scale and frame rate of the original game while also including additional side content such as a jukebox and character model viewer, but skepticism was cited for the port's considerably downgraded visuals. The original Wii version was made available for digital download much later on the Wii U eShop in Europe on August 5, 2015 and in the Americas on April 28, 2016. | A port of the original Wii title, titled ''{{iw|xenoserieswiki|Xenoblade Chronicles 3D}}'' was developed by Monster Games and released for the [[Nintendo 3DS|New Nintendo 3DS]] on April 2, 2015 in Japan, Europe, and Australia, and on April 10, 2015 in the Americas.

This game received a downloadable season pass that introduced new content into 2023. The final installment is a story expansion titled ''{{iw|xenoserieswiki|Xenoblade Chronicles 3: Future Redeemed}}''. This story acts as an interquel between all three numbered ''Xenoblade'' titles, but also hints of connections with the remaining ''Xeno'' games (''Xenoblade X'', the ''Xenosaga'' trilogy, ''Xenogears'') and ties up all loose ends in the series. The developers have confirmed the next entries will contain a new storyline. | This game received a downloadable season pass that introduced new content into 2023.
