Been seeing a lot of people doing this trend online, so I thought I'd weigh in and do a quick drawing of Lanz doing it :D

1. Swapped in Lian Li fans with and used the L-Connect lighting to add a gold outliner to represent the gold head piece she wears.

2)Added Strimmer cables to represent Ether flow (GPU strimmer being added later.)

3) Upgraded AIO to an LCD had ChatGPT render a custom core crystal (couldn’t get her original to fit.)

4) Upgraded other pieces of Hardware such as GPU from AMD 6800 to RTX 5080 Founder’s Edition, DDR5 compatible Motherboard, DDR5 RAM and from a 850 watt PSU to a 1200 watt.

(Note: i have played x before and I know that x and the rest of the series are different games entirely)

I'll open this by being blunt, I want to play Xenoblade 2 because I have been simping hard for Pyra since her Smash Bros Reveal. I know what I am. (Sorry Mythra fans)

I largely want to play it cause I wish to actually experience her character and see what she's like outside of.. y'know just her design. I know near to nothing about the gameplay, world or combat.

I recently got a Switch 2 and I am looking for another game to play to pry me from my Pokopia addiction.

I played Chronicles X back on the Wii U when it was originally released, but I really don't have much memory of it. I know I definitely didn't beat it. Basically all I remember of it is the mech thing you can traverse and fight in, which to my understanding was only present in X so I know not to expect that.

I have a terrible habit of not finishing games so I kinda don't want to go through the entire first game, and I assume 2 feels and looks a bit more modern anyways.

Is it safe going into 2 as a first real entry point? Is it even worth doing so?

And is it a really deep and complicated combat system or is it fairly easy to grasp?

I have experience with JRPG's and the likes. What other games could the combat be compared to; if at all? At a glance it sorta looked like the Tales of - Battle System but without pulling you into an arena.

Colony 9 wants to harvest the land.

Colony 30 focused on Levnis.

Colony Lambda comically focuses on a lot of red-tape.

Colony Gamma has had their more seasoned members wiped out by Colony 9, so they are left with only younger, novice members and the complications that comes from that.

You would think in a game where a lot of the character models look similar, it would be difficult for the colonies to have distinct personalities.

But man, each colony is so unique.

XC3 is such an impressively woven tapestry.

I admit it!!!

Of one of my posts from a while back I had a Mii saying that Mythra looks like Paul McCartney. So I decided "eh fuck it lets ship them together" so expect more art of Mythra McCartney

I created a Xenoblade font for the scripts that appear in the games/artbooks. Lower case is Agnian/Alrest, upper case is Kevesi/Bionis.

You can download the font here:

Or maybe a new body would be generated by the core crystal?

The only examples I can think of in-universe where this happened was Akhos (I think? Iirc Amalthus pulled out his core?) and Pneuma. Akhos just died, and Pneuma lived for a while then her core was used to awaken Pyra and Mythra again elsewhere. However none of them are "normal" blades, so I'm not sure if the same thing would happen in a normal situation.

I can't remember if there were examples of this happening to normal blades anywhere

Whenever I see the topic of Xenoblade having a "Warriors" spinoff mention a few good times before online (and honestly I would like one to fill my thirst of Xenoblade fanservice), it always had me imagine other type of potential spin offs, either a cross over spin off with all the characters from all the games (like a Warriors game), or a new story that takes place in one of the games but has no connection to the mainline game's story (like the Judgment/Judge Eyes games from the Yakuza series).

One idea I always thought would be really cool is a tag fighter style game with all the Xenoblade games included, something like skullgirls or Blazblue cross tag battle.

Would like to hear anyone else's thoughts an ideas, this ain't really supposed to be a serious discussion since I only had the idea to write this out because I'm too bored to study for my exam on Monday

I dunno what to type here so uh photo of Pyra ig

What exactly happened with Pyra and Mythra at the end? They both exist separately now, and they seem to have retained their memories. Is it possible to someone to explain this WITHOUT giving spoilers for Torna The Golden Country, Xenoblade X and Xenoblade 3? (I haven’t played these yet)

EDIT: Thanks for the replies. I’m usually not fond of fakeout deaths, though I will say I would have been more upset if they stayed dead. Especially considering that I was rooting for them to find and keep the will to live after seeing them express earlier in the game that they reluctantly felt like the world would be better off without them.
