Xenosaga I & II, Monolith Soft's first portable game, began development in 2005 following the completion of Xenosaga: The Animation. The scenario, drafted and supervised by series creator Tetsuya Takahashi, was intended to retell the story of the two games while incorporating events that had originally been cut. The game was released exclusively in Japan in March 2006. It received generally positive reviews from critics but was not commercially successful.
