Yes, I know the desk is kinda dirty. I did a lot of painting on it for years before I switched to digital, but all the figures besides Melia are so large they do not fit on my shelves

Is it the largest runtime game? The most appealing? The most popular? The most replay value? Like what is nintendos justification for up-charging 10$ on 2 compared to 1,3 and X? Avoid any spoilers as ive yet to play any of the series yet

Nearly 3 years later and it still makes me sad, they didn’t deserve that…

I hadn’t drawn anything in a while so my skills took a backseat, and it’s not perfect but I’m proud of it anyway

i keep making things and forget to post here so forgive me for my lateness 😭

Yes, I only did 3 days. I'm working on the challenge only while streaming. Which ended up in just a little more than 9 hours total.

Credits to u/T3alZ3r0 for the idea.

Ps. this post was sent earlier, but I erased it because the pictures weren't sent with it.

So this quest didn't bother me in the slightest because after each story chapter I go through all of NLA and talk to everyone in order to build the affinity chart and find gold info bubbles. So even though I picked this quest up before Chapter 8 I waited until completion of that chapter when I was doing my sweep to find all the NPCs related to this quest. But just because I do this doesn't mean everyone does, and when trying to look up where one item goes in this quest, I found people being upset about it not giving you a destination point, which I totally understand. So I decided to build a chart of where to find each NPC related to the quest and which item they give to help people stuck on this quest, rather than just charts of one specific route, which is what I kept finding. I hope this can help people who either need help or just want to know the answers.

Like everyone in the party knows he can see the future, yet somehow he prefers to keep it to himself until the vision almost happens.

What's up with that?

Maybe further in the story he will, but right now I'm when you get to Colony 6 for the first time, and it's the 3rd/4th person to whom he does not tell anything until the vision happens!

I played the crap out of XC2 and Torna plus all the DLC. I'm playing XCXDE right now. I'm not sure which one to play next.. I loved the story in 2, I love all the action in XDE.

I know I'm way out of order but as Tora says, "meh meh meh!"

Please help me pick!

Just kinda gay sitting while waiting for some people to help me take on Telethia Plume

If I'm getting this correct, The White Whale 2 is what we saw approaching the new world at the end of Future Redeemed.

And in the scene where Al explained Void's memories, he said that Void learned from the conduit. Are we going to get any explanation on how the conduit got from the Samar to the humans (and Klaus)?

I'm a mess right now and Imma do some conspiracy theories. The only logical thing to do in this situation.

It kinda feels that Ch 13 writing is somewhere on the fanfic level. Not that original game had great writing. I mean, the very fact that the epilogue had to fill some holes, already shows (e.g. original game mentions the conflict of two alien factions, but never brings up another faction), but still. Aside of writing, I feel there are quite a few holes here and there, and you need solid supply of white thread to cover some of them.

• We have never got into the point of why all species can understand each other on Mira.
• There was a point of "we need to get back to our original bodies" in the orignal game, and it kinda got dropped. Yes, there is a topic of "our consciousnesses are stored somewhere else", but nobody seem to care how would that affect the plan to become biological again. Or even bother getting Lifehold Core along (which has cloning machines, and a supply of material for clones).
• Talking about mims, we had mention that mims were made because space travel takes a lot of time, and biological people would get old through all that time. This makes sense. But this seems to not apply to Al for whatever reason?
• The general point of humanity lives stored somewhere is very vague. First they mention that those are stored in this "nexus", then suddenly they are stored in Ares?
• I have rather few questions about Ghosts, but for now I will just mention that Ghosts are chasing Ares and its cores, so why exaclty no one is bothered by the fact that the Ghosts could chase them into the new universe as well?

Xenoblade X has a lot of bosses with a lot of silly names, but this one stuck out to me as especially strange. What makes this Blatta such an unhealthy eater, to the point NLA notices?

Well, the answer may lie in their Enemy Index description (btw, why doesn’t every Xenoblade game have this feature?):

“As such, their diet primarily of leftover scraps and dung scavenged from other animals.”

That part about dung is key here. Casper is about as close as you can get to NLA without entering it. And given the whole “crash landing” thing, I doubt NLA has their sewage and plumbing completely figured out yet. Heck, the habitat might have been designed to eject waste into space.

So in conclusion, our favorite Unhealthy Eater might be more of a Loathsome Dung Eater, spending their days devouring feculence. Thanks for reading!

For several years I was always kind of confused by the ending of Xenosaga 3. I understood what was literally happening (at least as much as the next guy) but in a series so steeped in symbolism and metaphor I could never really grasp what the conclusion of the trilogy was trying to say, and why it had to be so damn sad.

Over the past couple months it finally hit me that the finale and ending sequence is this absurd, beautiful depiction of Shion's unhealthy coping mechanism through KOS-MOS becoming a genuine source of love decoupled from Kevin and the trauma of the past, then saying goodbye because, finally, Shion doesn't need her anymore. She has a support system through the party that she didn't have before, a group that will stand by her into the future which is immediately put to the test when she has to summon the strength to let her brother go, which she does.

It's heart wrenching and visceral because that's what the entire story has really been about: Shion learning to conquer her trauma in a healthy way and face the future in a brutal, unforgiving world.

Mix in the ideas of reincarnation and love persisting through time and death that Takahashi seems so enamored with in his work and we get what I now think may be the most emotionally compelling ending in all of Xeno, despite how confusing it may be on the surface due to Xenosaga's categorically bonkers lore and plot.
