Tbh I’d be perfectly fine if Xenoblade went the way of Final Fantasy or Fire Emblem and started telling stories set in universes wholly disconnected from one another but sharing common elements (Nopon, hard swerve into full blown science fiction in the final act, level 81 monkey in the starting grassland, etcetera).

I hope if xenoblade does do that they use different labeling for each continuity. Considering they did that for X I am hopeful so it wont be confusing for newcomers.

[@rexthewolf3149]

@@HunchbackOfNotreJon I don’t think so. Compared stuff like the trials of cold steel games or the FF13 trilogy. The xenoblade games more soft sequels. They carry similar themes but the plots of the games are mostly independent of each other. 2 only directly connects to 1 in the 3rd act. And the events of 1&2 don’t mean much to 3 other than the worlds colliding. I could easily see them making new games with the need to connect them to the prior titles and honestly I would prefer it.

Honestly playing through future redeemed for the first time it felt like the message of walking towards the future embracing the past, was meta in a way.

Something I noticed is that when Rex tells Glimmer that they’ll meet again before entering the rift at the end of future redeemed, it could be the developers’ way of saying that the cast of 1 2 and 3 will return in the next installment of the game, and I think for a very good reason. There’s this video I saw that played the post credits scene of base xenoblade 3 and Future Redeemed at the same time, and it shows that the moment Noah hears Mio’s flute is roughly when the worlds turn into one complete planet. So maybe we will see the cast of the 3 games fully interact in xenoblade 4, maybe it’s shortly after the events of 3 and we’ll get to see the cast of 3 but as actual kids and Shulk and Rex will help them out within this new world while a new threat emerges and they need to stop it. Since we still haven’t seen the full return of characters like Dunban or Morag, just because it’s the end of the Klaus saga doesn’t mean that it’s the end of the characters or the world itself. This video was awesome, Luxin, keep it up!

I got the whole meaning of Xeno 3 and 3FR, "Chase the future, protect the past" seems that was the direction Takahashi wanted to go in.

I think it's likely we will see old characters again, though I think vastly important characters will only be mentioned in passing, that's the only way to use those characters without them wanting to be involved in the story, cus let's be real, Shulk and Rex wouldn't sit back while something threatened their world, especially not Rex. We could see Matthew and Ghondor again, I'd like to see new versions of them that are explored, that way we could treat FR as a teaser for the future and not just a culmination.

Honestly, I'm more satisfied than ever when it comes to wanting more of Shulk, Rex, and their associated parties. I wouldn't mind more, but I no longer feel like I totally need more. FR shed light on the particulars of what myself and many others predicted with the huge question of "well, what happens to them after the credits roll?" Shulk and Fiora tied the knot, had at least one kid, could be more, could be just one. Regardless, they all ought to be safely reunited thanks to Origin, memories and all. Rex and his loves, same deal. Neatly wrapped up. Noah and Mio, we now know will get the chance to meet again, and every other little nugget of extra fanservice that FR threw is regarding past characters, they get to live their normal lives again. If we're to see these characters again, I'd prefer if they remain as references, or as supporting characters, out of the action. They have been through more than enough. Possibly even 2-style non-canon cameos thanks to our favorite reality-warping Nopon. All that to say, I'm satisfied, and hope that if old, beloved characters show up again, they don't need to be put through the wringer.

I get the vibe that they’re definitely gonna diverge from making explicit connections to past games the same way 2 and 3 did but it may still be the same universe. Like maybe it’s far in the future and the races will still all be around but the story will be about something completely different. Maybe there are callbacks or location references here and there but not to the extent most 3 areas were remixes of old ones, stuff where it’s still the same continuity/world but you don’t need to play the past games to understand. Xenoblade as a franchise is by no means over, esp with it only ever getting more successful with each game

[@rilonius2865]

I’m hoping Xenoblade Chronicles 4 or whatever it will be called will have a lose connection like taking place millennia in the future in the reunited world with small references of its connection without outright stating it. Another idea would to expand on the interstellar settlements mentioned in the radio in Klaus’s world and kind of retell the Xenosaga franchise that is compatible with Xenoblade lore, maybe called Xenoblade Saga or something like that.

[@gamerraito2153]

Rn, my current theory is that Xenoblade Chronicles 4 will have Mythra's kid as the protagonist or at the very least a main party member. A protagonist role would be dope though since I'd see it as a symbolic transition from one saga and into a new one. What better way to do that than to bring in a past character's kid for the role? This of course sets in the possibility that we'll see characters like Pyra, Mythra, Rex, Mio, etc again. However, now that we've seen how Takahashi handles returning characters, I doubt XC4 will overindulge us. Returning characters will likely be sparse - perhaps play minor roles - or just none at all since we are coming off a saga that included 5 returning characters - 4 of them having major roles and the last one a quick cameo - and while I do have some issues with the execution myself, XC3 and FR certainly feel like a stopping point for the series. XC4 will likely be a completely standalone game - with some reference perhaps - but I don't think this'll be the last time we see characters from the Klaus Saga. Just that we aren't going to see them in a VEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERY long time! Maybe, like, in Xenoblade Chronicles 6, or however long this series continues. My only hope is that we'll eventually get a concrete answer on how the worlds managed to fuse together. I'm fine with it being ambiguous for now, but I definitely don't want it to be that way forever, lol. The possibilities are truly endless rn!

[@NotMyRealName6]

I say there's room for three Xenoblade series moving forward.

[@StarlightNkyra]

My perdictions: -a possible future game will get at least a unique protagonist, possibly a unique party (in both torna and future redeemed, the main characters (lora and matthew) were unique, although having roots in their respectective games. This tells me that the team doesn't like to repeat main characters.) -All three pervious games will be refrenced in some way that much is obvious, possibly one of the party characters will have some tie to a former one (kind of like how mio has a very similar design to nia, probably even more substantional.) -The world will have plenty of unique elements, a unique story and a unique setting, but share some from previous games (a familar location or two, familar assets to the world, and some easter eggs for big fans.) - Rex, shulk, and noah will appear in some capacity, most likely a minor one. - the game will have unique systems for battle, without changing the core mechanics of battle (think of one to two, to three. They all have very similar battle mechanics, however have different ways of handling customization of it. One you leveled up your arts, two had the core crystals, and three had the class sytem. They also had ever so slightly different additions to battle, one didn't have anything noticable, Two had the different elemental combos while three had the kevesi (wait for recharge) and agnian (auto attack for recharge) styles of battle. Those are my perdictions, why don't you tell me yours? I'm intrested.

[@brotbrotsen1100]

I would like the next game to take place on earth, straight up like we know it mixed with elements from the games. Like having a city right out of our world, architecture and all but at night is surrounded by glowing saffron trees with giant peaceful creatures in the distance. The known races should all still be there as well. I don't know if i want to see the old party members again but if they appear then hopefully as older people who lived peaceful lives at last, maybe shulk and his kids being among the top engineers in this world, reyn, sena and Lanz opened a gym lol and taion being the president of the United States equivalent.

One thing that hasn't been explained is why we are given Mio's final words after the post credits scene, which confirms that she doesn't meet Noah again for so long that she forgets his appearance. To reconcile the two creates some possible order of events. It could be their wish on their deathbeds after full lives that causes origin to join the worlds for the end credits. Or it could be that despite the implied reunion, that they don't actually physically reunite after the worlds join. It's a contradiction to resolve.

[@ThePoisonSteel]

This is all well and good, but what frustrates me in fiction is when closed-book stories are brought back several times after they've ended. It robs said stories of having a sense of conclusion and it'll just reach a point where true conclusively can never be reached because it's always getting undone (like Star Wars). With the credits of Future Redeemed and how 3 as a whole ended, I would rather they leave this continuity and characters alone and give them this as a true ending. And just like KOS-MOS, having them referenced here and there for fun callbacks is totally acceptable, but not in a new adventure all-together. Either a large time-skip or exploring the other universes seems like a good way to continue the series to me.

[@Neostar617]

I think having it be set in the same continuity is fine, but I agree that the story should move forward and not rely on the characters/events of XC1/2/3. People saying they think Mythra's kid will be the protag or in the main party are delusional imo.

[@Paradox1012]

What if its generational? like Mathew Shows up as a party member in the next game, and whoever he leaves behind/ the character's of that game leave behind will directly relate to the protagonists of the next. I dont think xenoblade will be become a stagnant story like you think it will. 3 demonstrates they are willing to bend the worlds context to make the perspective of people and characters be the diametric opposite of what the previous party's Alignment is. 3's Party are basically Torna but justified because the world DOES actually create endless suffering in this context, and is not just a single-minded perception By Jin,Malos, and Amalthus.

In all likelihood they could be one the main characters for Xenoblade 4. What I do hope though is that because this is the end of the Klaus saga, that doesn’t entirely mean things like the Conduit and the Trinity Processor won’t be used anymore in some way. If anything I’m hoping the next saga tackles themes aren’t the same optimism for the future stuff the Klaus saga tackled.

[@DJCalliean]

Y’know, the one thing I think fans of the entire “Blade” trilogy were hoping for but never got to see was Shulk, Rex, and Noah(/Mio) fighting side by side, as 3’s DLC promo image initially hinted. Given everyone’s ages in the original timeline though, we could see a party consisting of exactly that in Xenoblade 4. If they wanted a 6 character party again, we could even include Nikol and Glimmer. The protags of all 3 games, as well as the children of of 1 and 2’s. Lemme clarify I’m not EXPECTING this or getting my hopes up for it, there are plenty of reasons NOT to do this. But I think seeing Shulk, Rex, Noah, and Mio together in one party at least would be really cool if Monolith Soft is interested in doing it.

Or at least somehow that connection allows the Ouroboros six to, as children, retain memories of Aionios, and it motivates them to contact Melia/Nia, and use that connection as the basis to undo the Klaus fuck-up. in terms of what form future games would take - there was a heavy emphasis on the future, so I think it will be in the re-merged Earth, maybe focused on rebuilding civilization. I actually think the smartest take would be to have the resolutions for the Xenoblade 1-3 characters as historical information, maybe learned through flavor text or sidequests, oral history, etc. You could have characters probably distantly descended from characters we know, but there should only be a handful of practically immortal characters alive. There's kind of no reason for Nia to be dead, lol, she's about as immortal as it's possible for a character in this series to be. Poppi I feel probably could easily come back too. Melia, maybe. also, considering Rex and Shulk are implied to have been kept alive by being in Origin's core, that means A might be as well, and could persist as their own individual. I feel like bringing the characters back for more of a direct sequel would be a bit cheap and lacking in imagination, BUT making something that's only a spiritual sequel would also be a letdown, so really the best path is just concretely following up on the end of Xenoblade 3 with the restored Earth and whatever conflicts are associated with it. In terms of what the conflict of the series would be, going forwards, it might be about what form the future takes. It'll kind of depend on what the new Earth looks like, and what it does or does not have. It would be kind of interesting if it boiled down to an argument over legacies - with various characters claiming that the characters we know from 1-3 stood for various things.

The idea that I am hoping we get some version of is that the blue light is KOS-MOS and she lands in water and is fished up by Rex as salvage, and taken to Shulk to repair.

10:15 Indeed, something consistent through all three Chronicles games is that both the worlds themselves and the populations within them, are much, much smaller than what existed in the original world. Not to say we should expect a future game to have eight billion people and a explorable world the size of Earth (they're starting over with a small founding population after all), but it does leave a ton of room for landscapes that are not simply pieces of Titans to be included by the developers without any need for explanations beyond "this is the result of the planet reforming."

[@PJDAltamirus0425]

I can imagine the combined Alrest and bionous side quest/ hub world with the unexplored areas being where the main story happens and we’re the strongest UMs are. Hell, there is still that painting, maybe there are scattered settlements trying to rebuild after the incident living in vaults and such.

Melia and Nia can communicate via the medium of light I would love an analysis on what this could mean for the future of the series. Also why does no one seem to question or look into this? Seems significant

Light is just another word for ether - calling it now

[@kos-mos2084]

In Future Connected, Melia glows with light when she defeated the Fog King when she tells Shulk to give her some time. I was thinking somehow by communicating with Nia she was able to vanquish it but that’s my best guess. Still unsure

My main hunch is that the next game in the main-line series is gonna be called "Xenoblade Saga 4", since Saga is a synonym of Chronicles, and it would be both a follow-up to Xenoblade 3 and Xenosaga 3.

Given that plate tectonics is a thing that happens we can actualy place an upper bound on the time that has passed since the worlds of Xenoblade Chronicles 1 & 2 merged assuming that the continents of Earth were largely as they are now when Claus performed his experiment. I'm not well versed enough in plate tectonics to know what this upper bound is to any level of precision aside than the fact that it's most likely measured in millions of years.

[@MorePower8679]

If we get Xenoblade 4, I want to see Mythra’s kid

[@Hoopryfien]

The wait between Xenoblade 1 and 2 was an interesting time for me as a fan of the series because after X came out…. I had kind of assumed Xenoblade would go the route of FF with each entry being a different and unconnected story but just sharing gameplay mechanics. Then when I reached the Architect in Xenoblade 2 and saw the Beanstalk/First Low Orbit Station cutscene AGAIN, I freaked the hell out. After the ending of 2 and playing through Torna, then I thought “well this may be where the story ends, Rex and his crew fly off to explore the rest of Alrest and Shulk and his gang rebuild civilization on the remnants of the Bionis.” Then Future Connected happened and it didn’t exactly sway my thoughts any particular way, was just a decent way to wrap up Melia’s character arc that felt a bit unfinished in the base game. Fast forwarding to Future Redeemed, honestly I never thought I’d see Shulk and Rex again (like, in the “flesh”) cause I figured they’d just have Melia and Nia there to remember their heroics FOR us. Playing through Future Redeemed was a blast, going through all kinds of different landmarks from 1 and 2 and being like “HEY I REMEMBER YOU!” or just seeing Rex and Shulk have this awesome dynamic of being 2 wise dads, but one is more rambunctious than the other. I’m excited to see where they take this series, it sounds like a pipe dream (or maybe it isn’t) but it would be awesome if Kos-Mos was an actual main party member in Xenoblade 4.

[@TheFrostedfirefly]

Fine, I admit it. I really did think you was going to say "we can truly say that these were the Xenoblade Chronicles,"

[@mpgeist]

You could also interpret the lyrics from Future Awaits to say that you'll see these characters direct future on the other side of the merge. Personally, I would like to see the characters exploring their new world, freed from all the Klaus stuff. I'm not sure what would make it Xeno at that point tho, lol. Loved the video, assuming we know what they have planned feels presumptuous at this point, one way or another.

[@HalvoPlays]

in my heart of hearts i felt the ending of FR wasn't a goodbye, it was a see you later

[@Majorlydevilish]

Going off of the Post Credits scene of CBX3 where we see kid Noah following the sound of a flute playing before seemingly disappearing and FR Post credit scene with the two worlds safely merging, I wouldn't be surprised if the merge happened soon after Origin reactivated. As we know, the world of XBC1 was created by Klaus' experiment, which also split himself in half and destroyed his original world, which we'll call earth. Klaus, now going by the Architect, creates the cloud sea covering up what was left of the destroyed earth, then created blades and titans and created a whole new cycle of life. Fast-forward to the point of the Two worlds wanting to remerge with each other and we find out that if the two worlds were to collide they'd destroy each other due to the worlds being made of different matter, leading to the origin project which is stated to recreate both worlds as is. Now after my rambling out the way, on to my very simple theory: theory goes that when origin reactivated and recreated both worlds, they were recreated with the same matter allowing both worlds to safely merge into one. Personally I don't see this as Klaus' experiment as being "undone" but more of Klaus' experiment being completed.

[@sentoworf]

I can see them going the way of Fire Emblem continuity where you hear legends of past heroes and have far off descendants or bring back a single character way later like how Tiki came back or "Marth" did. Maybe have Poppi make a proper return or have someone from the City show up again. Like seeing Shania as an artist or merchant idk, implying that everyone from the City like were later born in the new world and their lives had different outcomes without the Moebius struggle.

[@cowboybarbaryn1302]

The low battery warning at 13:32 lmaoooo

[@baked7423]

I did think that the newly remerged world was just earth with bionis + alrest on top of it but never thought about the fact that means theres "new" unexplored land to venture out into. If Xenoblade 4 is the same setting, really onboard with the blue star being the plotpoint where descendants or old/new characters find out about it. If this is all true, I wonder how much they will tie back to the trilogy beside the absolute necessity or if nothing is carried over just references. Xenoblade has been good about standalone experiences even 3 so I trust monolith with being friendly to newcomers. I wouldn't be surprised tho if 4, unlike 3 + FR, makes no callbacks as klaus's story is done beside the occasional cool or neat reference or like 3, the races being present but never talked about

[@Paradox1012]

I think it might take place in Mathews generation. its a good enough span of time to have things from 3 impact 4, but not long enough to make them irrelevant. also i Just want more Matthew lol.

[@tamodolo]

If you ask me that ending on 3 DLC is pointing to Xenosaga second arc. Probably not as originaly intended but we probably will see a conclusion to KOS-MOS and CHAOS and how the universe will be saved at last as Xenosaga trilogy solution was temporary. We'll probably see a new cast too. Xenoblade 3 screenplay was similar to how xenosaga and xenogears is. I was very happy with that!

[@lambiepie6436]

The point about the “xenoblade” name is spot on at 5:00. I’ve been saying this all along. There’s no need to change the name. Monolith isn’t being bought and sold like the were before. Nintendo is going to want to expand the franchise of Xenoblade Chronicles TM.

[@KingZevon]

I think for future games/trilogies, instead of calling it "Xenoblade *Chronicles*," they should have the subtitle be something else in order to separate them. Honestly, I think X should have done that as well.
