i have to wonder how many people were even aware an option to rename your party members’ mechs exists in xenogears, i only ever used it to fix the two typos lol

even if they’re not the same vector it’s honestly hilarious that this one company presumably funded aoidos conduit research, worked on robotics that became artifices, brain implants that became core crystals, sentient ai development and then also 20th century antique style radios

Xenoblade Genesis What Nintendenesis @luxin-xeno.bsky.social · 09/10/2026

knowing now that core crystals were probably a vector invention makes it so much funnier, like yeah they accidentally created the body horror rocks as a side thing 5000 years before wilhelm’s actual plans went into effect presumably just because they needed to keep up appearances

wait you guys are actually struggling to beat part 2 maps while making full use of blessings i think i used aurora level 3 once to cheese a skellion skirmish i was way underleveled for on like cai chapter 8 and it's been fortuna only since then

sorry but i am totally down with a fe4 remake that pulls in mechanics from 3h instead of retooling the original gameplay like sov did purely because i think giving leif the fianna freeblades as a prf battalion and then never remaking fe5 is really funny

Xenoblade Genesis What Nintendenesis @luxin-xeno.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

gta vs zelda turning into any sort of significant internet arguments is really funny because i'm pretty sure nintendo and rockstar are well aware that most people who want both and have the disposable income to get both on release are capable of beating a mostly faithful oot remake in two weeks

similar to how sigurd's jagen is his silver sword and not an actual unit, the real jagen of fortune's weave is the free zanbato everyone who fights benditz gets, in this essay i will

you know if you think about it Don’t Worry is the closest to a classic JRPG overworld theme Xeno has had since Gears, and considering how much it directly tells you the themes of the game in English lyrics it does kinda makes sense

but will xenoblade genesis have a large cast of recruitable secondary party members so they can bring aoi yuki back to voice an optional character for the third time

working on a Genesis theory video that's *just* predictions of where Eleanor's personal arc will go and doesn't even go all the way into what the big overarching plot of the game will be, let alone its significance to the entire series, are you proud of me

what do you mean seteth actually dies when defeated in part 2 on classic, shouldn’t bro just be too maimed to fight for the next couple centuries or whatever he’s the literal framing device of the story

i did once manage to convince a friend in high school who got into xenoblade after listening to the ost that riki's tenderness is called that because he gets eaten by a monster later in the story and tastes tender, maybe i am a bad person who doesn't deserve a platform

that being said i've probably seen 100 reactions to genesis and i can tell when someone's larping FE because there's exactly one FE game set at a school and way too many people say "this looks more like a FE game than a xenoblade game" and not "this looks like 3H" in specific

Xenoblade Genesis What Nintendenesis @luxin-xeno.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

little detail in FW I really appreciate: it's based on a different region and earlier time period than most of the series so classes that feel tied to the medieval setting are removed/renamed (priest/shaman instead of cleric/mage, cavalier renamed, paladin not existing, etc.)

Xenoblade Genesis What Nintendenesis @luxin-xeno.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

you do know that if the first genesis gameplay trailer shows that unique monster names follow X’s “Name, the Epithet” format instead of “Epithet Name” like the trilogy i’m going to become the most annoying samaar prequel truther right

you know what i think it's ok for xenoblade genesis to superficially resemble three houses given how the first couple hours of fortune's weave are spiritually xenogears in the funniest way possible

happy to announce that shimmer origo wins the "first character i've seen in japanese media named kaguya whose name probably wasn't chosen as a deliberate reference to the folktale" award

is this the first time "blade" has been uncapitalized in the subtitles of an important cutscene since egil got stabbed in the shoulder we really are doing the next-gen xc1 fresh start thing if "blade" isn't a proper noun and can safely be used as a normal one without confusion

just for reference for how screwed up the new view counting method is, because of the new system it treats today's video as having performed 20% better than the big Genesis analysis but I guarantee it'll make less ad revenue than a comparable length vid with 8k views

it'll be interesting seeing what eleanor's relationship with her brother is like because dunban and fiora's is really close, blurring the lines between siblings and parental, while shion views jin as this image for caring about tradition despite them actually being japanese

mio is obviously going to be the inheritor for shimmer’s class but it’d be really funny if her and sena start inexplicably beefing as a callback to torna mythra and brighid and sena gets annoyed into inheriting it like lanz and triton
