Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Spoiler Discussion Thread

[Joycap]

I suppose you could have two keys: Unknown for Shania, and Low 1-C for Moebius S

Y'know, you say 'unknown' for Shania as (what I assume is) a joke, but it's just hit me how I'd probably use that key for stuff like pre-game Na'el/Alpha unironically (the one I tried to contest recently), because even if we accept the premise that Na'el's emotions were to be interpreted as any kind of amp to Alvis the second he came out of the CC, we don't know to what extent (is City level destruction a miniature version of PIS, not unlike what a lot of things in FR would be seen as should we accept all the fan theories running around? Etc.).

Make no mistake, that PIS is what I've been mulling over seeing this as for a while now. I even have a small segment in my Saga retrospective about it, if anyone wants to see the text.

Almost forgot about Glimmer and Nikol, but yeah, they're super important as well

To be fair, I have been mulling over what MUs Nikol could have if he ever came to VS format. Sophocles (Pokemon SM) is the best I've come up with so far, but I think we could go further than that.

Anyways Noah and Mio amiibo

Crazy how that was one of the best parts about the Direct

 

[Joycap]

Crazy how that was one of the best parts about the Direct

And that has it's own batch of unfortunate implications

Also is it me, or does Noah's neck look completely crushed in N's outfit?

 

[SilentLyfe]

Mio amiibo

 

[JoshSSJGod]

Ah yes, the ammiobo

 

[Joycap]

Ah yes, the ammiobo

I suppose to make sure that this thread isn't running on empty for weeks on end, I've been looking into (relatively) thematic MUs for FR's characters. I already mentioned Nikol vs Morgan to @DarkDragonMedeus - but I've also been floating Matthew and A MUs (both together, not as separate spreads), and looking at the facts, Dart Feld and Rose from Legend of Dragoon seem like excellent MUs for the both of them (A being Matthew's personal restraint check, in the same way Rose is to Dart; Matthew caring about Na'el being MIA, only for Alvis to offer Na'el a Faustian power bargain as an Aegis driver (see also Shana being thought of as 'Dart's sister-figure' for the majority of his arc, only to be a key component to Melbu Frama); Rose's regret as the black monster in the same way A is the 'consciousness' that Alvis evicted... I can see this MU popping off).

I should probably get off my ass and update that MU chart. That shit was a mess the last I left it lmao

 

[Spinoirr]

Any new profiles in the works?

 

[CloverDragon03]

I'd say the highest priority ones are Lanz, Eunie, Sena, Taion, Nikol, and Glimmer, though idk which ones are being worked on at the moment

Do we have templates / public access a la the first profiles we were given access to work on?

No idea

 

[Joycap]

@JoshSSJGod any ideas?

 

[JoshSSJGod]

Ya mean the version of the profiles I originally made in my sandbox? Yeah, they're still there

 

[Joycap]

Ya mean the version of the profiles I originally made in my sandbox? Yeah, they're still there

We mean that, but with Taion/Sena etc. included.

Or are we putting that in ourselves?

 

[Joycap]

On another note...

 

[DarkDragonMedeus]

Seems it was closed.

 

[Joycap]

didn't even want to answer my question, she did...

Guess we're continuing here?

No? Why would it? This isn't a content revision thread.

 

[Joycap]

No? Why would it? This isn't a content revision thread.

I just mean discussion of A being a woman. Doesn't have to be revisions here, in any case.

 

[CloverDragon03]

On another note...

I mean yeah I always saw it as Ontos being non-binary with both male and female aspects, with Alpha being male and A being female

 

[Joycap]

To clarify, I interpreted Ontos as being impartial both male and female gender roles, not that either Alvis or A were enby (both of them are not).

I believe my own lying eyes here.

Yeah, that's... kinda what I said. Ontos has both male and female traits due to being meant to stand between Pneuma and Logos

Oh, so Ardha in Hinduism?

 

[Spinoirr]

Anyways, new profiles hopefully can be made (not by me of course)

 

[CloverDragon03]

Oh, so Ardha in Hinduism?

Idk anything about Hinduism so I can't say for sure on that

 

[JoshSSJGod]

Alrighty. Its been a minute. How's everyone doin'? Good I hope, yall been up to anything as of recent?

 

[CloverDragon03]

Been pretty good. Replaying Xenoblade 3, started Chapter 7 and my god I'm overleveled

Noice noice, spot anything that could be added to the profiles?

 

[CloverDragon03]

Nothing that I haven't already added (that being justification additions, like Ethel and Cammuravi being stated to be stronger than a number of Keves's Consuls)

 

[DarkDragonMedeus]

Trying to catch up on a lot of games on my feed; Tears of the Kingdom took so damn long to finally finish and I still have a lot of quests to do. Also played Pikmin 4 and Octopath Traveler 2.

But yeah, Xenoblade Chronicles 3 and Future Redeemed are indeed the best duo of Xenoblade games and easily seals the deal as best game of the previous year for me. I do look forward to the next Xeno related game whether it be a new game or a remake/remaster of an older game like XBX. Though there have been rumors of Xenosaga trilogy getting ported and I heard someone from SE mentioned an interest in a Xenogears remake.

 

[Spinoirr]

Been playing the Future Redeemed

 

[Joycap]

Alrighty. Its been a minute. How's everyone doin'? Good I hope, yall been up to anything as of recent?

Not exactly been you guys as far as XC3 itself, but I have been updating my Saga script with anecdotes regarding the Blade trilogy if that counts. Might come back to XC3 regarding another project idea, idk.

 

[JoshSSJGod]

Noice noice yall. Now what was this you needed for a Eunie and Taion sandbox?

 

[Joycap]

Noice noice yall. Now what was this you needed for a Eunie and Taion sandbox?

I don't think we need a reason other than a logical next step for profiles

 

[Magicomethkuon]

After reading on sufficient material, I've begun work on Xenosaga Blogs that I believe will be of great help for the series to receive character profiles later on. It's a long and hard effort. Time to update each day being limited and all, but I have loads of information to arrange and share. It's such a brain-melting rich cosmology to just leave ignored.

 

[Dragoonseraphim]

Cool. I've been hoping to get into saga and gears stuff myself but just haven't had the time. Plan to get to it soon though.
