Thinking about the world for this Xenoblade idea. Initially I was thinking of an island world (either in a normal ocean or sky islands) but that could get too similar to Alrest. Then it hit me, cave world. People live underground in these giant cave systems. You can have funky glowing crystals and wildlife, lakes, lava caves, icy caves, weird magnetism stuff like Pokemon's Chargestone Cave, super dark areas, ruins, mines, there's plenty of variety for these caves. There's also the whole "why the fuck is everyone underground what's going on on the surface". Were they forced to go underground, and if so was it because of some natural disaster or the actions of other people? Is it dangerous on the surface? Do the cave dwellers even know the world above even exists? Lot that can be done here.
Haven't done much on the characters yet since I'd like to get the whole situation with the cave world and the surface first. Will probably have a starting trio like Shulk/Reyn/Fiora and Noah/Lanz/Eunie, trio of childhood friends. Mentor figure is also likely, might have a kid join the group, and of course there's got to be a Nopon in the group but I'm not sure what they'd do. 5-7 is the range for permanent party members in Xenoblade games so I don't want to get too carried away.
Aside from humans and Nopon (they are everywhere), there's probably other new races but I don't have any ideas yet. Another thing is that while the numbered games lean towards British accents with some American and Australian accents thrown in and X has mostly American accents, I'd like to think that the cast of this game would have their own accent(s) to help signify that this is it's own universe. Not sure what accent they'd have, I am unfortunately a dumb American.
I watched Promare with some people in a Discord server last night. It’s one of my favorite movies now, Lio is my favorite character ever (rip N Pokemon he held that title for 12 years). My Discord pfp/status and computer background are Lio now. I have been listening to Kakusei for hours.
I think I might be a little bit obsessed with this movie.

I miss Gen 2 shiny Magcargo, the blue lava is so cool.
While I'm sticking to home models for the main opinion polls, if you have any pokemkn suggestions for bonus polls to use the 2d sprites for, drop the mon below ^^
It's a luxury few can afford (you need a shitton of materials and it will become basically inaccessible once X' online servers are shut down next year)
Mod Note: RIP Servers, this is now present instead of future
the main 4 c:
Akkala indeed. Also full region ranking for fun.
Akkala, I love the fall look. Tarrey Town is also the best town.
Necluda, it has Kakariko and Hateno.
Hebra, winter is my favorite season and the Rito are cool. Just wish all the constant snow didn't make things hard to see.
Faron, mainly because of Lurelin and Eventide. Wish the ocean had a bit more to it. Also I don't normally notice performance issues in games, but things always seem to slow down a bit when I'm in the jungle area, even if I'm just walking around doing nothing.
Lanayru, I like the Zora but it feels like something's missing here. Don't want underwater exploration, I'd be too scared to handle that.
Central Hyrule, couldn't do anything there in BotW since it was Guardian Central. They're gone in TotK so I can finally explore all the ruins.
Eldin, the heat around Death Mountain is annoying but I like the Gorons and it's not as big of a problem in TotK. Also the Lost Woods are here, but I haven't been there in TotK yet because I can see that something's up.
Gerudo, I like the town and bazaar, but I don't like how both games start off by having sandstorms that make it hard to see and get rid of your map. I haven't even seen much of it in TotK because of it. The Highlands also just exist.
Sky Islands, I expected more from them based on the trailers and starting area, but there's not much up there.
The Depths, actual nightmare land. I'm afraid of the dark, can barely get myself to go down there. And of course it's where most of the cool amiibo stuff from BotW is. It's scary and full of demons from what I've seen I do not like it.
Personally I’m a big fan of ten gerudo desert but I do like necluda, faron, and the sky islands
i am going to go back in time and prevent eve from eating that apple, sick of dealing with this bullshit every month
I like stupid Nintendo games and other JRPGs. Call me Brim.
