Alright ladies and gentlemen, time for me to say bullshit about Xenoblade Chronicles 2 for a couple tweets!

I made another video instead…

Oh shit I have to do this now

294: Re-Xenoblade Chronicles 2 I can’t talk about or praise this game enough, but for now this’ll have to do! Thank you Xenoblade Chronicles 2 for shaping the best years of my life. 10/10 nitter.cf/timelyaigis/status/212…

To wrap this up all I can really say is, this game is a masterpiece, and it honestly makes me like XC1 less in comparison after getting to play them both again, but I do still love both of them aswell. Thank you Xenoblade 2, and thank you to anyone who may have read this. ❤️

-become tied to specific kinds of scenes, and immediately set the mood for what’s to come. And the boss themes are possibly the best they’ve ever been. XC2 as a whole is just a beautiful combination of every aspect a game can have.

I’d give the whole antagonist roster a shoutout, but I can only do 4 more tweets after this so I gotta move on. To the music! This is such an insane soundtrack, especially the way every song manages to interweave itself with the game. Tracks like Contrition and Drifting Soul-

Jin too, is one of the best to ever do it. Every scene featuring him has an aura to it, that evolves from simply mysterious, to downright depressing. His arc throughout the game is arguably the best, and he also has a fantastic boss theme.

I think Malos is honestly the best villain in Xenoblade, and one of my favorites in any game. And he only gets more lovable with time. You spend so long thinking he’s nothing but pure evil, but by the end you find something even sadder, all he knows is despair that isn’t his own.

-favorite aspects of this cast. They all showcase a different side of humanity, and a different future Rex could have, and that extends beyond the party. Malos is the antithesis of everything Rex stands for, and they have some of the most compelling chemistry in the game.

On the other end of the spectrum we have the best character in the series, Zeke. And he, alongside most the rest of the cast, is both a wonderful character in his own right, and serves as a reflection of who Rex could be depending on his choices, and that’s one of my-

Vandham is my goat but he is also a lot like Fiora unfortunately, being that he mainly exists just to progress another characters arc, and is then promptly sidelined, in a sense. I know it’s not quite fridging, but I do think we should’ve gotten more time with him.

-simply isn’t given enough time to truly grow into complete characters, and there’s a clear weak link in Tora, who is honestly the only character I can’t call one of my favorites in the whole party. There is also of course, DEVELOPMENT MAN.

As for the story yeah it’s fucking peak we all know that. The themes are some of the strongest and most compelling of the series. And the cast is simultaneously incredibly charming and interesting, while also being really irritating. I think a good half of the party-

-shit you can get into in gaming. Blades themselves are also a gem of an addition to the series, and I love having so many unique and soulful designs because of them, but that doesn’t mean they’re all good. I hope to someday complete all the blade quests, but not today!

-favorites. Though at the end of it all I did spend 60% of my playtime just using Rex with his story blades and KOS-MOS, so I didn’t branch out quite enough 😭 Still when you truly understand it and take advantage of it, the combat in this game is some of the most thrilling-

There’s just so much potential and freedom with the blade system, and the individual unique elements of each party member. Pulling off a successful combo and getting a good chain attack going is incredibly satisfying, and incentivizes trying lots of blades out to find your-
