That...
is literally just concept art. It also proves that the following scenario, if taken literally (and accounting for the idea of this being 'the same KOS-MOS'), is basically impossible, considering that XS3 has KOS-MOS kill/assimilate T-elos in the same timeline you're referencing:
Oh, and it also doesn't account for KOS-MOS's attempted scrapping at the beginning of III (w/ or not the KOS-MOS we know of knew of T-elos's existence before Yuriev/Winnicott's coup of VECTOR is one genuine question that is never answered...
as if I haven't mentioned that enough). You could say "oh, but there's audio drama CDs!", but those are unreliable despite their claimed continuity/canonicity because the 'Richard tortures Jr.' scene is claimed to take place between the events of the first two Saga games (keep in mind the jump from 1 to 2 is basically a beeline, with nothing being referenced within it's contents).
And I do not remember any "Interviews" talking about KOS-MOS or T-ELOS. But their in game battle conversations, heart to hearts, quest lines, ect give us more depth. More so on KOS-MOS' end. KOS-MOS is required for a heart to heart requiring Rex, Shulk, and Elma meeting up on the World Tree. And what they all have in common is being born in different universes was the main point of that Heart to Heart.
This is
largely just fanservice, but continuing...
T-ELOS did come from the same world as KOS-MOS within their quest conversations. And T-ELOS: "Merge with me" followed by KOS-MOS: "Request Declined" is kind of the biggest hint to Xenosaga Episode III.
See above.
Likewise, iirc, KOS-MOS even said somewhere she's not from Alrest and wasn't created by the Architect, unlike pretty much ever other blade. In another quest, there was a girl who looked like Shion, which KOS-MOS called her Shion at first before being corrected.
(EDIT AFTER CHECKING THE BLADE QUEST): She... doesn't do that? Is this a localization derp? Or am I not looking hard enough?
And the official Artbook also had files on KOS-MOS about being created by Shion and that Vector Industries is also as an in verse "Trademark."
1) Source (outside of the Blade Awakening cutscene, which would fall under the fanservice umbrella), and 2) then why was everyone losing their shit about Yuriev being referenced and 'but muh radio', as if it told us anything different to what we "already knew"? (You already know why I take umbrage, but for the sake of argument I'll dignify it).
In Future Redeemed's case, it's hard to find a specific video given Nintendo's new policy of requiring commentary or face showing of the YouTuber-
-But anyone who played Future Redeemed and saw the "Universe before Klaus's Space-Time" scene could easily notice it looks just like the architecture of NLA; skells and all.
Which isn't really a reason to begin with, because the Conduit being renamed after being called 'Zohar' in the games files for copyright reasons. 1) that would have to contend with discrepancies in the location, and 2) Re-used assets for utilitarian purposes are not a new thing - 'the houses of NLA in Klaus's world' is no different.
And fast forward 2 years later, Xenoblade Chronicles X Definitive Edition actually came out. And the existence extended ending/post game is already common knowledge, but you know the spoiler rules. Not to mention Nintendo has also been especially strict when publicly revealing images or videos of Post Game content that was too recent.
Define 'too recent'
But, if you really want to know, Josh could Spoiler tag. And again, not saying a full confirmation, but there is a tease that there may be a Xenosaga remake in the next couple years.
Sure, I guess.
@JoshSSJGod may we ask of your input?
