thoughts and analysis of stupid video games I like

posting spoilers for xenoblade, xenogears, xenosaga, nier, and probably other shit too

The Blade System and Origin don't work as well on them for the same reason plugging an extension cord into itself doesn't do anything. Nopon already are.

Millions of fluffy Abels sending unconscious thought emails to each other. Tatsu knows about Hom Homs because he pulled from the Bionis collective unponscious. Tora knows how to make Poppi because NLA Nopon are whispering in his ear from the Mimeosome Maintenance Center

They might not even be aware of it. Little guys are just always around whenever humanity screws around with the Conduit. Klaus Earths don't have them until the button press and X humanity meets them on Mira, once the Lifehold becomes a consciousness transceiver

The most exciting entry is for the Samaarians simply because it unlocks after chapter 12 and the image is of Void's birth all the way at the end of the game. Felt like seeing something I shouldn't, probably because I was. I wish at least one entry demanded I just go read Jung to understand the game

It can do monado buster that makes it the strongest regardless of stats and numbers

The little pieces that come off like feathers are so beautiful, extremely Xenogears

Leave your character standing around in NLA and it should work. I don't think it counts if you're in a menu or if the switch is asleep

The way Guernica talks about fate and the "will of Ouroboros" makes me think some modern Citizens might consider Ouroboros and coincidence/luck/acts of god to be the same thing, which could be a holdover from an older, organized belief system. Kind of mirrors the people of Bionis forgetting Zanza

There's a Liberator named Lui who is a City refugee who tells Matthew she'll pray for him after the Na'el fight. Maybe the original City practiced some version of Alrest's religion or developed their own, maybe Ouroboros worship?

That's the guy from smash brothers. I think that's Elly from Xenogears on the right.
