Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition – Coming March 20th, 2025 (Ni...

Whoa. My favourite Wii U game's finally coming to Switch!

[a-bucket-in-the-void]

chat have any of you heard of a monolift???

[devilbrew-69]

Well I finally went and about xenoblade chronicles 1 n 2 due to them being on sale. These games have been on my backlog for the longest so I really hope they live up to all the praise they get. I need a lore heavy jrpg to sink my teeth into. Plus, they have British voice acting so that's a major bonus! It's cool that there's been a slow increase of British dubbed anime games over the years.

I also bought the Ace attorney turns out collection for only $20. That's 5 games for one cheap price. Pretty damn good deal.

Maybe this was obvious but it really has just hit me recently that like. Every mainline xenoblade heroine and then some other characters are all just fucking kosmos.

like fiora? Robot girl housing some divine entity with an eye color change to accompany it.

Elma’s true form is just alien Kosmos pretty much to the point where some even theorized she was Kosmos’ next body.

Pyra and mythra? Artificially created beings (though them being initially ai is more of a revelation than a feature like kosmos being a robot is) who draw on the direct power of the Zohar/conduit, and pyras torso + weird short shorts resemble episode 1 kosmos’ design and Mythra’s shoulder armor diamonds are also similar to her design motifs.

Mio’s more of a callback to elly xenogears overall but even she can’t escape being kosmosified, namely in her ouroboros form which looks very kosmos-y. Heck you could probably argue M’s design is a bit kosmos-y too though it’s a bit more surface level “they both have light cool colored hair and armor”

But it doesn’t end there. You have Poppi QTpi (can’t find the pi symbol wailing) in canon is designed off the Aegis girls and I think out of canon utilizes aspects of Pyras beta design, meaning that she’s a kosmos twice removed. There’s also the superficial similarities of being a quirky robot girl though kosmos is only used comedically once in a while or in xenosaga freaks.

then A. A is the funniest example to me bc they fucking kosmosified the chaos-like (sentences that may not be in the Christian Bible but are definitely in A Bible that exists. hint hint play xenosaga) but vague appearance similarities aside A’s kosmos connections are more thematic. Defying your purpose and programming after developing empathy and going off at the end with an unsure but determined promise they’ll return again someday, it’s all very end of xenosaga 3. also kosmos herself is just in 2 along with t-elos. Meaning that counting the pneuma girls as separate, plus Poppi, xenoblade 2 has six fucking kosmos’ including kosmos herself.

Shinta Reviews: Xenogears part 4

The plot advances as we head to meaningless locations and have divergences with Redundant characters tied into the malice of the setting we've already explored just to get us more members for the party. We swear, the Xeno Series would learn from this eventually.

[ha-youwish]

no the xenoblade fandom is very much still racist. war flashbacks to the mental gymnastics people were doing to explain why dunban/sharla/alvis/everybody was suddenly white/even whiter than they already were in the switch remake because it couldnt possibly be whitewashing 🙃

oh no i totally agree ppl do taion dirty in fan art he looks fucking awful most of the time but im just happy people dont hate him and then try to justify it when theyre just. racist. ive seen that happen too much yk.

I've been mulling this over for the last few days and I figured I'd just put what I'm thinking out there in hopes that someone will understand what I'm coming from. I'm reading a wonderful fanfic where Buck leaves the 118 and goes to work at Air Operations. He is paired with Tommy and the two of them strike up a friendship and an eventual romance. I'm only a few chapters into the story and there's a conversation where Buck and Tommy are relaying their backstories to each other. Buck talks about getting crushed by the fire engine, the subsequent surgery and setback, and him suing the LAFD. Tommy talks about his time in the Army and ultimately joining the 118. He goes into vivid detail about every single awful thing he did to Chimney and Hen. He ends the story by telling Buck that even though the Chimney and Hen chose to forgave him, he can't quite move past his guilt and works hard daily to become a better person. The thing I've been mulling over is the concept of white guilt and how it often triumphs over forgiveness extended by people of color. I find this so funny because even when people of color, esepcially Black people, are at their most vulnerable and open, whiteness still finds a way to be greater than.

Now I'm not here to excuse any of what Tommy did during his time at the 118, but I have to admit that the majority of the people I have seen taking umbrage with Tommy and his behavior, even after he has been forgiven by those whom he offended, and even after he has taken strides to change, are white, non-queer individuals. And before we making this a B*ddie versus BuckTommy situation, I have seen individuals from both sides of the fence taking Tommy to task.

Before I jump into my thoughts on this, let me just say that I'm a Black man. I'm also a queer man. Most importantly I'm a Black queer man and let me tell you a little something about poor behavior from white people. It happens so much and so frequent that oftentimes I don't even see it happening until I am allowed to have a moment to process and reflect. With that said, quite a few of my close friends and acquaintances are white and all of them at some point have said or done something deliberately or accidentally offensive to me. Now not all Black and/or queer people are a monolift so let me make this very clear right now. I am speaking on behalf of myself and myself only.

Now that I've gotten out of the way, I will say that in any and all cases where I have been offended, my forgiveness is more for myself than the other person. Forgiveness is something I do to protect my peace. I fundamentally understand how whiteness works here in America and I understand how it operates. You don't get to half 39 years as a Black queer person without learning this. Especialy living in the the south. I also realize that at the apex of whiteness is the white, straight male and whether we realize it or not, we all, for the most part, at some point, seek proximity to him. You see this happen with white women, with Black men, and evenwith gay white men. In fact, the only group you don't tend to see this with is Black queer women and I believe this is because they are truly the antithesis of the white apex.

With that said, any time my friends or acquaintances have behaved badly, especially towards me, especially regarding my race and/or sexuality, I understand where that energy comes from. I really do. And, if we are being truly transparent here, there have been moments in my younger existence where I actively participated in the oppression of Black women and queer people. I, too, was a Tommy who hid myself by participating in the toxicity directed towards queer people. And yes, I felt tremendous guilt for my actions when I had time to reflect.

Here is the thing people forget about guilt. Much like grief, guilt ebbs and flows, and it doesn't really go away. What happens, or what should happen, is that your world gets bigger and bigger to the point where that grief or that guilt doesn't occupy as much space. That's exactly what I believe has happened to Tommy Kinard. Yes, he still feels bad about what he did to his friends back then (and he should) but his world has gotten so much bigger since then. That guilt that was once a loud roar is hopefully only a whisper now because he has done the work to understand why he behaved the way he did and has taken strides to be a better version of himself.

So, to all the white, non-queer individuals out there who have been taking Tommy to task for things he did a long time ago, things he's been forgiven of a long time ago, parts of himself that he has made better, ask yourself this one simple question. Why should my guilt (white guilt) be bigger than the forgiveness provided to him by those he offended? Second question I would ask you to ask yourself. Why am I demanding that Tommy actively punish himself and be punished for something he has already been forgiven of? When you answer that question, there is one last question I want you to ask yourself. Why am I feeling guilty and projecting that guilt onto someone else?

Again, I am not excusing any of what Tommy Kinard said or did during that time of his life. I just find it strange that so many of you are condemining him of something he once did when you should be asking yourself, am I actively participating in the oppression of those around me. There's a 99.9% chance you are so maybe focus on your own garden before you start asking others to clean up theirs. Also, for those of you coming at this from the angle of, well we didn't see Hen and Chimney forgive him. So what! Unless you have a camera following you around 24/7, no one will ever get to see you be forgiven of the fucked up stuff you've been doing. Most of all, stop projecting onto fictional characters. It's weird. Okay, those are my thoughts. Do what with them what you wish. As always, these are my opinions.

Sena, Mio, and Eunie as YuRiPa ! 🌟

[seandwalsh]

How do wild creatures like Bulrush, Cooligans (stated as such in Sticker Star), Blurps/Sand Cheeps, frogs, T-Rexes, Uproots, Trapeetles, and possibly Block Monolifts (which work for a wild animal) get ahold of accessories like tracksuits, glasses, gloves, hats, or helmets? As far as I can tell they don't have access to stores and even if they somehow did, there'd likely be a language barrier between them and cashiers.

If they aren’t delivered by Storks wearing these items, as Mario and Luigi were delivered wearing their hats and diapers, they can simply buy them from stores as anyone else would.

Despite appearances indicating they would be wild animals by real world’s standards, most Mario “animals” are sapient and have complex language they can use to communicate with each other - with many even learning English.

Let’s take another such example of a “wild animal” with accessories - the Dolphins that appear in several games. These Dolphins have the same goggles worn by Blurps and, despite appearances, can speak English and one even joins Mario & Co. as a doctor in Dr. Mario World.

The line between person and animal is incredibly blurry in the Mario World. Fronk is considered 9-Volt’s pet despite being an expert hacker, baker, mechanic and having a wife and child off-screen. Joe’s siblings are pets, as was a Koopa Paratroopa in Paper Mario: Color Splash and Cranky Kong back in the Donkey Kong arcade games. Even the barks of dogs or Chain Chomps are treated as language that can be understood in several games.

A similar thing is true of the world of Splatoon - the Salmonids are a fully developed, sapient race with their own distinct culture, but this doesn’t stop the Inklings from stealing their eggs, casually selling and eating their meat and even seemingly keeping some as pets.

Xenoblade chronicles 3: Future Redeemed

First of all this game and this series as a whole is so incredible. Second i just beat the DLC but haven't 100% it so i have so much to scream i basically gave it a standing ovation it managed to answer juat about every answer i had about XC3 normal game and give me so much delicious and well made fanservice while still leaving a few questions, complete spoilered mad rambling under the cut

Are Noah's and N's swords Logos and Pneuma (or gifts from them?) or am i just dumb and didn't understand the final scenes because THAT WAS THE AEGIS' CORE CRYSTAL IN MATHEWS GAUNTLETS WTF!!!(We don't see Logos' core crystal but N's sword has some purple bits so maybe? or is one Mythra and the other Pyra i hope not!)... *ahem* i am very normal about this... why couldn't Rex and Shulk just say "yo kiddo yer my child" just for continuity and angst?! how dare but also thank you monolift.

Why didn't we see Fiora? love my girl and i miss her also when will we have a anime/webcomic/book about Rex/Pyra/Mythra/Nia and Shulk/Fiora doing fun slice of life family advantures?? no amount of fanfic will satisfy me (but if you have any give them to me)

After XC3 base story will A come back together with Rex and Shulk or will Glimmer, Mio, Rex's third unnamed child and Nikol loose their cool Non binary Unty (is that the gender neutral for uncle?)

The game play loop is probably the best so far i don't know if it would work for a 60 hour game i finished the story in 25 ish while taking my sweet time so i don't know but it made fighting the later enemies just as fun as the ones at the beginning something most RPG struggle i love the community build aspect that they always try to bring to the loop and this satisfied it the best (also number go up and check boxes get filled in make monkey brain happy)

did the credits confirm that the worlds fuse back together correctly or was that just Alrest or Bionis appearing from the weird 4d geometry?

Finaly thank you Takahasi and everyone that worked on these 3 games and three DLC/additional content (sorry didn't play x) it is truly a master piece of a series and i can't wait to see what you all have next in store for us be it Xenoblade related (whether it's with the characters we've seen thus far or just in the world much later in the future) or a wholly new endeavor I am already quite interested

Edit/ P.S

i might me awkward and anxious but this is an invitation to talk about XC as a whole and sorry for any grammar mistake i am quite literally ecstatic with the end of the DLC is this how people feel when they drink caffeine?
