Xenoblade 3 - Blog Posts

Logically I really should keep working on Colony Delta stuff, but I'm thinking about completely new colonies.

Known Keves Colonies: 0, 4, 5, 8, 9, 11, 13, 14, 15, 16, 18, 20, 22, 23, 29, 30

Known Agnus Colonies: Gamma, Delta, Zeta, Eta, Theta, Iota, Lambda, Mu, Rho, Sigma, Tau, Chi, Omega

A new Kevesi colony could just have any number. The Greek letters that haven't been used for Agnian colonies are Alpha, Beta, Epsilon, Kappa, Nu, Xi, Omicron, Pi, and Upsilon. Heck, these new colonies could use the same names if it's set in a different time period than the main game or Future Redeemed, as existing ones since names get reused, Nikol and Glimmer are from older incarnations of colonies 5 and Gamma.

Anyway someone remind me to think about this after I come back from sleep and working on college stuff.

Working on Xenoblade OC lore once again

I really want to flesh out Colony Delta so it’s not just about Thea.

Location: We have no idea where Delta actually is, and it needs to go somewhere. Currently planning on having it be located in Millick Meadows (Aetia region) or the Syra Hovering Reefs (Keves Castle region, if Colony 15 can exist so close to Agnus Castle then Delta can be near Keves Castle). Might change if I get a better idea or we get some official info on where Delta is. I can’t remember if we saw Delta’s Ferronis at any point like in the flashback to Cammuravi’s fight with Ethel but if there’s no official design for it I really like the idea of it being some kind of serpentine dragon.

Characters: Did a bit of research into how many named NPCs are in each colony to find a good amount of other characters to include in Delta. There’s one lieutenant, two off seers, and eight other soldiers for a total of 11 NPCs in Delta. No idea where to even begin with naming any of them, the only Agnian NPC name I can remember is Foots, which is a weird name and I can’t unhear the accent Noah’s VA did for him when streaming Xenoblade 3. Still not the worst name in all of 3 though, Sena named some poor kid Biffteen. The Consul was also an issue since most of them die in other questlines, could’ve just made them Consul A but I did something different. Fiona’s Ascension quest involve finding notes from Consul I, which mention that there’s 26 Consuls, one for each letter of the alphabet. It’s possible for Consul I to die before the Consul S seen in game joins Moebius, so there had to have been another Consul S. And that’s Delta’s Consul because nothing can stop me.

When the idea of a Xenoblade spinoff comes up, it’s usually in the form of a Warriors game. And yeah, that’d be cool and I’d spend 500 hours on it. But I like the idea of a racing game, just because I think there’s potential for cool courses and these characters deserve a chance to just have fun. Anyways Nintendo/Monolith please consider making Xenokart real.

Xenoblade 1:

Vehicles from this game could be modified versions of the mobile artillery and Face Mechon units.

Course Ideas: Tephra Cave, Bionis Leg, Satorl Marsh, Eryth Sea, Alcamoth, Sword Valley, Fallen Arm, Agniritha, Bionis Interior, Memory Space

Xenoblade X:

Skells already have a pseudo car mode, and also regular cars are here. Also time travel cars exist too.

Course Ideas: NLA, Talon Rock, Nopon Braidbridge, Divine Roost, around the Yawning Giant, Lake Ciel, the general O’rrh Sim area, White Phosphor Lake, Mount M’gando

Xenoblade 2:

I got nothing for Xenoblade 2 inspired vehicles.

Course Ideas: I guess just the titans, along with the inside of the World Tree and the First Low Orbit Station? I think you should be able to ride on that ring around the planet connected to the First Low Orbit Station too.

Xenoblade 3:

Levnises are the vehicles here.

Course Ideas: Alfeto Valley, Eagus Wilderness, Great Cotte Falls, Maktha Wildwood, the City, Origin

There are probably other good course ideas, but I don’t remember too much of 2′s environments and since areas in 3 are hybrids of areas from 1 and 2 I don’t want to repeat things too much. Expecting X content is also unrealistic but I’m biased and the environments are cool and unique. If you guys have ideas for courses, vehicles, character rosters, or whatever, feel free to share them.

HIT THAT YOINKY SPLOINKY, PLEASE

Compilation of Xenoblade “X, hit that yoinky sploinky, please!” videos because they’re important pieces of culture. As far as I know there isn’t one for Future Connected, Torna, or any older stuff like Xenogears/Xenosaga. But if you guys do find/make one for those, let me know. I’m just happy X has one, it’s usually left out.

Okay so I’m willing to bet that we’ll see Riku as a Nopon Archsage in a future Xenoblade game. In the base game of Xenoblade 3 it’s clear that something’s up with Riku, and in the Future Redeemed trailer + some tweets by the Xenoblade JP twitter account Riku is just there even though the DLC happens a millennium before the main game. Nopon aren’t part of the cycle so it can’t be a previous incarnation of him. A regular Nopon seems to be able to live into their 200′s, but that’s not enough time for Riku to be present in both stories. He hasn’t even aged inbetween them either. Only a Nopon Archsage would be able to live that long, the ones we’ve seen generally have an age of 9,999 years. Imagine playing Xenoblade 6 or whatever in the future, the Challenge Mode DLC drops, and the Nopon Archsage running it is Riku.

We’re getting English tweets about the Future Redeemed cast, today was Matthew and A. Nothing unusual about Matthew, but look at the one about A.

No pronouns for A, while Matthew is referred to as a he in his tweet and in A’s. A might be nonbinary, Juniper also wasn’t addressed with any specific pronouns leading up to the base game’s release and was confirmed as nonbinary when it came out when we saw them referred to as they/them.

I need to process the stuff I saw in the Xenoblade 3 DLC trailer, I’ll spoiler it all just to be safe.

There’s six party members we know of for the DLC. They’re Matthew, A, Nikol, Glimmer, Shulk, and Rex. We also see Na’el (I think that’s the right spelling?), Alvis, and Riku.

-Matthew is probably N’s great-grandson, with the old guy we saw get killed by N in the trailer being his grandpa/N’s son we saw in the flashbacks. Probably Founder Vandham. He punches people, kinda looks like Mr. Xenogears, part of me wants him in Smash. He’s an attacker, makes sense.

-A has some kind of connection to Alvis. She has an earring that looks like his core crystal, the silver hair, class name seems to be Monado Fencer, and her name is A. She’s probably Consul A, outfit looks like it has elements from Alvis’s outfit and I’m seeing a bit of M’s outfit in there too. She’s a healer, didn’t expect that.

-Nikol is probably Shulk and Fiora’s son, but like Mio he’s not the original, just one of many incarnations of him throughout however long Aionios has been going on for. Probably Founder Ortiz. He’s a defender, we’ll get back to that.

-Glimmer is probably Rex and Pyra’s daughter, and another Aionios incarnation like Mio and Nikol. She has a very Pneuma hairstyle and the green core crystal, I’m also getting Lora vibes for some reason. Probably Founder Rhodes. She’s a healer, seems about right.

-Shulk’s back, he grew his hair out and lost an arm. He’s also a defender now, so lots of Dunban inspiration and maybe passed that down to his kid Nikol. He’s the mentor to Founder Reid but there’s no sign of them anywhere.

-Rex is also back, but he lost an eye. He’s an attacker and he mentioned some meme lines in the trailer, hopefully he’ll tell us the fifth rule of the salvager’s code. He’s the mentor to Founder Cassini, but we also don’t see them anywhere.

-Na’el seems to be an NPC from what we’ve seen. She’s probably Founder Doyle, making her Matthew’s sister. I think it’s lame that Matthew and Na’el look so similar to their great grandparents who were the same gender as they are, like give Matthew the core crystal or Na’el the blue eyes just SOMETHING.

-Alvis is here, he looks so pale get this man to a doctor. He’s got the Zanza-looking wings and still has the core crystal.

-Riku is here for some reason, and I don’t think Nopon are part of the cycle. Why is he here.

The Founders: -Known: Vandham (Matthew), Doyle (Na’el), Rhodes (Glimmer), Ortiz (Nikol) -Unknown: Cassini, Reid, mysterious 7th founder

I’ve seen some people say that A is either the 7th founder or possibly Shulk/Rex’s student, just hard to be sure since we don’t know what those 3 looked like.

With Mio and Glimmer, the only Rex kid we’re missing is Mythra’s. Really hope we get to see them. Since we also see people with the Ontos and Pneuma core crystals, maybe we’ll get lucky and see someone with the Logos crystal yes I know Malos died but anything’s possible.

There’s another thing in the trailer I wanna talk about, and the weird part is that I’ve seen literally no one talk about it.

This is Na’el/Founder Doyle, probably the sister of the DLC’s main protagonist Matthew. And here she is, looking like a member of Moebius with the outfit and mask, including THE ONTOS CORE CRYSTAL. WHY DOES SHE HAVE THIS. WHAT IS THE LINK BETWEEN HER, A, AND ALVIS. WHY DOES SHE LOOK LIKE SHE’S PART OF MOEBIUS. WHAT IS GOING ON.

A Semi-Formal Xenoblade 3 OC Post

May as well organize the OC lore from the other day into one post, and add some new stuff.

THE BASICS:

Name/Title: Shockwave Thea (name might change, title’s good though)

Gender: Female

Age: 7th term (16)

Race: Blade (lightning element)

Affiliations: Colony Delta, Agnus

BACKSTORY AND RELATED STUFF:

Thea’s generally a pretty nice person, always looking out for the others in Colony Delta. Doesn’t take care of herself enough since she’s busy worrying about the others. She refuses to let anyone from Delta be hurt, and does her best to prevent enemies from attacking in the first place. With Cammuravi dead, she became the commander of Colony Delta (don’t ask me where it is I have no idea), wanting to continue his legacy as a leader of honorable warriors. She and the others in Delta respect Ethel despite her being a Kevesi commander after she spared him in their first battle.

If she was a Hero, her quest would involve the party fighting the members of Colony Delta, believing they were the ones who killed Cammuravi. Her Ascension quest would involve the current incarnation of Cammuravi reuniting with the people of Delta (also maybe meeting Ethel, either way Thea is still the adopted Ethelravi kid).

CLASS DETAILS:

Class: Bastion/Bastion Warrior (2nd is a Xenoblade X class name and we need all the rep we can get, but I think just Bastion sounds better)

Weapon: It’ll either be a halberd (similar to Cammuravi’s lance but still distinct), a gatling gun (one of the Bastion Warrior’s weapons in X), or a flail (I just think it’s neat).

Role/Nationality: Agnian Defender

Specializes in preventing enemies from attacking. Has a Launch art and can inflict Accuracy Down, don’t think I can do much more than that without making her broken.

I’ll add art and skill names after I settle on a weapon, I don’t know enough to make effects/descriptions for them though.

APPEARANCE:

This picrew is good enough for the face/general vibes, don’t think there’s any character creator that could let me get a fitting outfit for her. Making her look like the lightning Blade that she is would also be a pain since I don’t think there’s any where I could add stuff like a core crystal, ether lines, or other stuff to fit the theme.

I want to make a Xenoblade 3 OC, but I don’t have anyone to talk to about them. The one Xenoblade fan I’m friends with hasn’t played 3 yet and I don’t want to spoil things for him. I love yelling into the void of Tumblr, but it gets lonely here.

I'm alive here's some Xenoblades
