@@byronbarrientos8471 Pretty sure the "funny welsh accent" necessitates changing lines on account of Wales and Japan having very different cultures and a direct translation would probably be a lot more stiff that the genuinely entertaining dub we got.

8:05 What’s the name of the song that plays here?

[@NerfGunz35]

I’ve been wondering: *Spoiler Warning?* I’ve been wondering where all the blades went between the 1,200 years of Xenoblade 1/2 and Xenoblade 3. I highly doubt that the loyal Dromarch would ever wish of dying without Nia. I would go on but I’ll leave it to the final wave of the DLC.

[@MaxWelton]

Remember: 1200 years passed *within the Endless Now.* Time was only passing inside Aionios. Rebooting the worlds reset the worlds to as they were right before intersecting. Based on That Picture, only 20ish years have passed since the end of 1 and 2. All this is to say, I believe Dromarch died in battle in the earlier days of Aionios, so Nia had a statue of his head put in the Cloudkeep. But turning Origin back on means everyone who was alive when the worlds came together (Joran, the version of Noah who watched time stop, Triton, etc.) is still OK.

[@NerfGunz35]

​@@MaxWelton I see, and I agree. But pure blades don't die. They revert back to their core crystal, which I am positive Monolith Soft did not forget. And someone would have had to destroy the crystal itself to truly kill the blade inside. And it could be the same case with Bridgid, Pyra, Mythra, and all of the other blades, including the advanced ones. And I believe that Ontos/Alvis had something to do with it.

[@SlappyTheElf]

Just take a look at lots of the Agnian characters or even Sena.

[@AshenVictor]

The population of Aionos is really low. I have a suspicion that *only* people who were in the age range of the soldiers in the Endless Now at the time it was activated were incarnated there. Everyone else is still stored in Origin awaiting the restoration that was supposed to follow after the worlds passed through each other, the process that the collective fear of the uncertain future represented by Z stalled.

[@gumballfan13]

My guess is that some of the blades were put into the cycle, whereas others remained within Origin. Some of the Agnian soldiers are human children, but characters like Sena and Cammuravi appear as if they are pure blades. Obviously the blades would be characters we've never seen before, or blades who weren't awoken by the party. Idk, not a whole lot is explained about who entered the cycle and who didn't. Panacea and Linka are clearly children from previous party members, but appear to be Lost Numbers and not born into the cycle of rebirth.

[@meta527II]

Why the heck does this game side us with a TERRORIST?

[@Tracks2008]

She really isn't though. All implications given is that she joined them a few weeks back (before the initial encounter at the beginning of the game) and may have helped them steal some stuff at worst. She was very against the murder of poor little Rex at the beginning of the game which heavily implies she never actually killed anybody while with them and had also not seen them kill anyone before that point. She also gives a hint as to her time with the villain group which wasn't very long at all. All in all she was a misguided individual who was picked up because she was lonely and an outcast like most of the real villains in that group were.

[@meta527II]

@@Tracks2008 Then why did those other people call her a terrorist? And when Rex was shown who the criminal was and said it looked like her, why didn’t Nia bring up a better argument than just making that stupid scowl?

[@Tracks2008]

@@meta527II Because she was with the group and so they thought she was doing the same shit the rest of the group was doing. However we quickly learn that wasn't the case. Heck she even outright says she wouldn't consider them friends when she is being questioned. In fact she had every right, rhyme and reason to believe she was next (after Rex gets killed) if she wasn't as ruthless and evil as they were. If she were truly like them she would have gone back to them but she clearly never had any intention of doing so. Instead from all indications she would simply hide out in the wilderness because since she had been with them she would be hunted.
