Pied-Noir Pied-Noir Pied-Noir (, ""Black-Foot""), plural Pieds-Noirs, is a term primarily referring to people of European, mostly ethnic French origin, who were born in Algeria during the period of French rule from 1830 to 1962. More broadly, it can refer to other foreign-origin persons, both Christian and Jewish, from all parts of the Mediterranean whose families had also migrated under French occupation in the 19th and 20th centuries to French Algeria, the French protectorate in Morocco, or the French protectorate of Tunisia, where many carried on living for several generations but fled or were expelled at the end of French rule
Xenosaga: Pied Piper Monolith Soft handled the story development. External studio Tom Create helped develop the game. The creation of "Pied Piper" formed part of a move by the newly-established lead developers of "Xenosaga" to expand the series into other media following the release of "Episode I". The game's script was co-written by series creators Tetsuya Takahashi and his wife Soraya Saga. "Pied Piper" was Saga's last contribution to the "Xenosaga" series prior to leaving the project in 2005. The game's title is a reference to the German fable of the Pied Piper of Hamelin. "Pied Piper" was first announced in July 2004.
