KOS-MOS or Nightmare, it doesn't matter to me because either situation is a win/win for me.
Verge probably doesn't want the Nintenjas on his *** that's why. And since they gave Sabi a C&D back in June, I'm very sure they know about Verge as well.
She is Namco's crossover queen from what I've heard.
I can see a Smash Direct ONLY if fighter 6 is announced there with FP5.
She is, though that brings up the question of why her in the face of other bigger franchises and characters.
It should be noted that Verge did not actually imply it was KOS-MOS, he said that his source gave him a weird “not sure” response.
Well, I don't know about why she's their face instead of a more popular character, but that isn't really an argument I'm looking for. Just looking at the reality and all I'm saying is she wouldn't be some shocker of a choice considering how high a regard they hold KOS-MOS.
She's owned by Monolith? That's a surprise. I figured she was owned by Namco. Doesn't all of her Xenoblade 2 content have a Bamco copyright?
This is where it's confusing. I've seen some say Namco owns her, I've seen others say it's Monolith. I don't know if there's some weird legal mumbo jumbo or not but if it is a confusing situation then it'd make sense why neither Sabi or Verge (I know, Verge isn't popular) can get a clear answer.
I thought it was the other way around, considering that is what has been generally said around the comunity.
I wouldn’t mind, I guess. Especially after this long wait for #5. I’m hoping it’s someone else though.
What? First off, Xenogears was published by Sqaure, I think you're confusing it for Xenosaga, secondly, all I've been hearing for the last few days is that she's own by Bandai Namco, I mean, her art in Xenoblade 2 even has a Bandai Namco copyright, doesn't it?
She's owned by namco and created by Monolith. Since Monolith was bought by Nintendo though Namco still owns her for a couple of years now. None of that has changed.
Pretty sure she’s owned by Bandai. Monolith Soft created her.
Fake 4chan text leak that people are latching onto for whatever reason
Ah, another baseless text leak? Sweet. Anyone find any baseless text leaks about Geno?
Why are you spreading misinformation?
She's really not. It's an over exaggeration based on people looking for reasons why she's happening. Every time she's in a crossover it's because Namco was using a bunch of it's IPs the only exception was Xenoblade 2 for obvious reasons.
Hey mate you might need to do a little more research. KOS-MOS is from Xenosaga not Gears and she's 100% Namco owned.
... He just retweeted Nintendo's tweet about The Game Awards. Of course some kind of announcement is going to happen when Nintendo makes a tweet like that, you don't need insider info for that.
Yes. She's been widely used for crossovers, from Soul Calibur to Robot Taisen to Project x Zone to Xenoblade. She's been fairly prolific so I can't help but scratch my head when people call her unknown. In terms of appearances, I'd sooner call B&K unknown that her.
I have no clue about KOS-MOS, but those GUNS though!!!
Reminder that the Pokemon Sword and Shield leak was also text and "baseless" and yet had all correct information from the game. Also cacomallow leak WASN'T baseless and yet people have decided to toss it aside for some reason.
Don't lynch me for saying this, but I actually knew who KOS-MOS was more than I knew Terry thanks to Xenoblade Chronicles 2.
I see your point, but when you consider the SHEER VOLUME of BS text leaks on 4chan, it shouldn't come as a surprise if the info is bunk. Like any leak, the legitimacy comes from the content being proven at some point. What does this KOS-MOS leak say to offer credence?
Because that Soul Caliber crossover was only for 3 to promote her games and they still failed not to mention she wasn't the only character they crossover in that game from their IPs. For Robot Wars she was only in a spin off of that already niche series which sold not great which is why it's sequel was Japan only and took a minute to get a fan patch and the X Zone series is also niche and developed by Monolith. 2 had been her most high profile appearance and yes recent so that is good but she was also a very very rare blade and so a good portion of those 2 million probably didn't see her or even know where she came from unless Twitter or something told them. It's very easy to see why she's not recognizable and I'm someone whose played all the games she's in. Banjo at least sold a crap ton for his first 2 games became a name of his platform and had huge fan demand.
Good lord, can you all chill? Can't you all see that I'm trying to figure things out because I can't find a clear answer? Some citations would be fan-****ing-tastic, please and thanks. Holy hell, this community some days...
Having a bunch of appearances doesn't correlate with being well known in the Smash community, Terry speaks for that, and even then most of her appearances are still relatively obscure. Being honest, even as someone who has heard of Kos-Mos for years because of some of these crossovers, I don't I've ever actually seen ANYONE ever talk about Xenosaga as a game, period. I feel like most people here only even know her because she was in Xenoblade 2.
Whoa dude I was chill. Sorry I didn't see the 800 other people who told you the same thing but a tad more aggressively though. I promise I wasn't trying to come off as jumping on the pile. As for rights the fact Monolith isn't credited in her appearance in their in house cameos such as Tales of Hearts should probably show they have full ownership. Monolith was a full first party studio of Namco's until they were sold to Nintendo so everything they did belongs to them.
