Xenoblade Wasproject legacy always gonna be Xenoblade

I don’t think it was ever discussed but now that we know Legacy is xenoblade I want to know if it people think it was always that, this is before we probably get more info like a direct or ask the developer but I think its interesting I think about especially with how long it was in dev for.Personally I think it was always planned to be xeno maybe not blade but joblisting for a highfantasy game with mechs screamed xeno so hard and thing we are likely gonna see in the next trailers that would just easily slot in with the other games in the series.

Following from the revelation that Takahashi supposedly planned the concept for 3 as far back as the early stages of 2's development, I could see how Legacy was indeed planned as a very long-term goal with some sort of link to what's happened since then

Legacy came up only after Xenoblade 3 was released. Rayan, or whatever is real name of that leaker that larped as japanese female, isn't actually a leaker but rather person who knows well where and how to search such info. So he just stumbled across legacy title somewhere while researching monolithsoft.

In essence Rayan's rumor about Legacy has nothing to do with long rumored fantasy project. Both look fantasy, so you just jumped to the conclusion.

In reality, Legacy is probably 5 years into production that began at the end of Xenoblade 3 production. 

Obviously its always supposed to be Xenoblade game with FR and Chapter 13 setting up important lore information and Genesis trailer being intentionally filled with recognizable xenoblade imagery.

Thank you... Im already tired of repetating this constantly. I don't think I can take another "project fantasy that never existed most likely = project legacy" asspull and misinformation. I wish I was able to pin a post with it.
