Sica 🎮 COE33
@sicahyalt.bsky.social
Sharing random thoughts about Xenoblade games and the Xeno series.
Current active playthroughs in my handle. Not sure why, because I keep replaying the same 4 games.

My art account: @sicahyart.bsky.social
Pinned
Reminder that when XDE releases next week I will be commenting on my playthrough on this account, so if you want to avoid spoiler, time to mute me

XCX will appear in my handle while I play the main game, and will be replaced by XDE 2.0 when I reach the new content (which I think is post-game?)
Playing COE33 without understanding French must be such a strange experience, do people just go "ooh pretty music" instead of getting hit by a freight train through background lyrics upon innocently entering an area and spending 20 minutes staring at the screen through silent tears

If you're wondering how I've been doing lately, I've been busy developing a new obsession for this man and Ubisoft is actively trying to make me worse

Thinking about how XC2's ending is inherently tied to org Torna's love. Rex only goes this far because of their ability to love.
Ch1, if Malos didn't love Jin enough to stop him from fighting Rex, Jin could have killed him again
Ch9, if Mik hadn't loved the TTGC gang, he wouldn't have saved Rex&co

Lvl60! That would have been the top 10 years ago but times change so let's keep reaching higher 💪

OK but if Al has a rifle from Lao but there's no weapons involved in their interaction on the Beach of Nothingness, that means he had it since before Mira, and if they haven't talked since Al got promoted to lone hero, that means he's had it since way back on Earth... They're besties...

I kinda want a timeline where my Cross didn't make it during that last fight
I like tragedies and I think it's an ending that fits too

That or he disappears and they find him again in another universe 2 years later

Where It Began - Where It Ends

It would be funny if by settling in a new world that's more stable than Mira, the different XCX species lost the ability to communicate

Xenoblade Babel tower myth incoming

One of the funniest retcons is how the Ares was meant to be a 2 pilots Skell and yet, despite everything, they never used that cockpit in the end

Whatever they do next for the Xenoblade series, I need them to hire Misaki Umase again, I really liked her work on XDE, her songs are so beautiful

I like to think there's a timeline split at the end of XCX. There's a world that goes into the events of ch13 and a world where life continues on Mira. Whichever you choose to believe in the most, they're both valid and canon to me

Some more thoughts on the whole ch13 after some sleep:

I don't think it's a good epilogue to XCX itself. It shifts away from some of its main questions and themes (what is it about this planet? Why does it attract and trap so many people? The ugly side of mankind isn't as relevant anymore? Are we--
I have no word to describe what I just experienced, what this game made me feel

I'm just incredibly glad I got to experience it

Is it perfect? no
Did it give me emotions few games can give me? yes

Amazing game

Ah yes I almost forgot about this other issue

This is why I like three parties wars better, always something new to play
June 9, 2025 at 8:27 PM
Oh this game knows how to hit straight to my heart 😭💞
June 9, 2025 at 8:18 PM
That was a surprisingly short fight?? As someone who tends to make boss fights last quite long for vibes enjoyment I'm slightly confused

There are probably other phases but?? Ok speedrun dude

Z could never

I wonder if there are different outcomes depending on whether you did all, some, or none of the spear thingies before facing Void
June 9, 2025 at 10:54 AM
The new area is absolutely gorgeous...

I love this guy so much, he's the kind of sweet chaos that brings warmth where he finds a place to belong

There's more pizza??? Why is the dev team craving pizza over an entire decade
June 7, 2025 at 5:14 PM
...I did *not* expect to behead Luciel in one shot by attacking him with an Ares 90, holy shit

Most powerful Skell in the game is an understatement, I've lived in blissful ignorance for years, that thing is a monster
June 7, 2025 at 2:25 PM
I need to finish XDE asap because I'm getting myself exposed to more and more tiny spoilers leaks and of course my brain is starting to piece things together

As much as I love theorizing, I've been theorizing since I first played this game, I want to experience the epilogue as blind as possible
June 3, 2025 at 7:21 AM
Oh my feelings are now shattered

Again, I guess
May 31, 2025 at 5:28 PM
...I just know some people got pissed by this cutscene

Not me because it's a very Monolithsoft/Xeno series thing to do, but it definitely pissed off someone somewhere

Some thoughts on our new pal before I start his quests and continue ch13

He *clearly* knows Lao, and has for a while, yet he hasn't said much about him, even after hearing the Mira events recap. I wonder if he might be keeping his mouth shut at Lao's request? He feel like it's something he could--
