Development

Episode I was designed by Tetsuya Takahashi, director for both Xenogears and the rest of the Xenosaga trilogy. Many other developers from the Xenogears team joined Monolith Soft and the Xenosaga world is loosely based on that game. When Xenosaga was first announced, it was supposed to be a six-part game series, spanning three consoles and several years.

Episode I's soundtrack was composed by Yasunori Mitsuda and performed by the London Philharmonic Orchestra. Mitsuda sampled Ralph Vaughan Williams' Greensleeves and wrote several new songs. Two versions of the game's soundtrack album have been released, as well as a single for the main theme of the game, "Kokoro". During cut scenes, voice actors act out much of the game's dialogue, with over fifteen hours of cinematic cut scenes.

Famous quotes containing the word development:

    “Understanding child development takes the emphasis away from the child’s character—looking at the child as good or bad. The emphasis is put on behavior as communication. Discipline is thus seen as problem-solving. The child is helped to learn a more acceptable manner of communication.”
    —Ellen Galinsky (20th century)

    “The highest form of development is to govern one’s self.”
    —Zerelda G. Wallace (1817–1901)
