@Snatcher The amount of video game franchises that are dead for no reason is staggering and sad also
sorry for the volume paragraphs I was just trying to collect my thoughts better by splitting everything into its own one but I think i just made my response balloon to ridiculous proportions. I don’t expect you to respond to every point I made

that goes for every xenoblade character despite being long games they don’t waste your time or show you things that don’t matter. If the game puts something in your face it’s important. That’s what makes this franchise great how lean it is no fluff filled side plots that don’t amount to anything

Torna will do both it will act as a brutal story while also divulging interning xenoblade lore to you. But trust me when I say Torna isn’t gonna be a picnic. Torna itself is incredibly dark and retroactively makes the base game darker too. I would say Torna is actually more focused on the emotional aspect of the story than lore. The ending will make you cry

Don’t worry no one caught on. Only xenoblade can tell you how it ends to your face and you completely miss it. Xenoblade has some of the most blatant foreshadowing in any media I have consumed . And the same is true for all 3 Xenoblade games they will shock you even if you expect a big twist

Fortunately for Zeke and pandoria they were protected by status. A prince dying in the praetors care mysteriously would bring up a large investigation one that could have ruined Amalthus. Amalthus was secretly scamming the entire world if it came out he would be ruined so that would mean keeping a distrustful Zeke alive as to avoid the entirety of tantal looking into his personal business

Nia is capable of returning people from immediate death. It shows just how powerful she is as a being and why flesh eaters are so feared. Anyone who can reverse death and give one of the most powerful beings in the universe cancer would definitely cause mass panic. Even if Nia would never abuse her powers the distrust of flesh eaters makes sense. Same with Jin without getting to sciency sub zero as a temperature is not instant death it’s instant decimation of any living think. It’s like those liquid nitrogen fruits. The person would shatter into millions of pieces

There is no way Morag lets herself retire it wouldn’t be in her character. Morag and Brighid would Probably become farmers, artisans or cartographers. The new world needs someone to explore and map it M & B would be great choices but I feel if anyone were to explore the world it would be zeke. Farming and Artisan work is more straightforward it would be an honest way to make money in a peaceful existence where soldiers don’t have a reason to raise weapons

Pyra and mythra aren’t normal blades so they can’t necessarily be used to justify what happened to the others. However the blade life cycle relied on the cloud sea to feed titans. Without it a blade would become a titan and then immediately starve to death. Klaus wouldn’t have dissolved the sea without some contingency in place. And if something like that happened then in the end Jin won. Blades are now just a race they don’t have to be subservient to abusive masters and won’t forget those they love. It’s a theory but it’s definitely a wholesome one I hope is true

Yeah it’s funny because most drivers are supposed to help guide their blades to teach them stuff they subconsciously bring into future lives. Morag is the opposite she had to learn how to be human from Brighid. The 2 make a cute pair theres a reason practically every xenoblade fan ships them to some degree. Brighid makes hearts at morag and rests her head on morags shoulder at the end of 2. Brighid clearly harbors some feelings for morag and Morag cares deeply for her so I support the ship. I mean it’s classic opposites attract morag while a princess is the serious stuck up one while Brighid the immortal entity that shoots fire enjoys shopping and perfume.

it’s hard to legitimately pick a favorite character or pair of characters from any xenoblade game I love them all. That’s the power of good writing and treating your party equally in terms of story importance. The only main character of Xenoblade 2 I don’t care for is Aegon because he gets so shafted it’s not even funny. The game never uses him. You don’t even have to awaken him from his core crystal you can leave him there the entire game. He is completely useless as an important character . At least roc comes back during the crucible cutscenes and has the merc mission side quest tied to him. But yeah other than aegekn all the characters are equally awesome and well written and it’s near impossible to pick favorites

Way too many people think that blushy crushy is serious and don’t like it. The awfulness is part of its charm. Nia is the player insert you aren’t supposed to be agreeing with tora. Tora is supposed to be around a human 15 year old mentally. I don’t want to play the human to nopon age conversation game which I assume someone has done the math. He also spent most of his life isolated so it makes sense he is bad with girls. And his idea of blushy crushy is so much worse that anyone could have imagined. And then Pyra following along with it only makes it more hilarious. It’s a well executed piece of cringe

You have no idea what is coming in black eagles just remember that it will change from Harry Potter to something very different. And the pain will cut deep.
