[Xenoblade 3] Ch 5 End...An Emotional Rollercoaster

[@SBaby]

4:43:00 - Here's something else to think about that nobody ever mentions. If Mio hadn't treated Sena as nicely as she did throughout the game and in those flashbacks, she might've been in Shania's shoes right now.

[@SBaby]

@Alexander Lawrence Not really. Sena only ever hints at it all of one time indirectly, and flashbacks imply it at best with no direct mention. And pretty much nobody in the fandom ever talks about it. I wouldn't be surprised if at some point in the production, the original idea was for Sena to be the traitor. And they decided not to do that because they didn't want an incomplete pair. Alot of people would brush this theory off, but fans of the Xeno franchise beyond the Xenoblade games know this is a very Xeno thing to do.

[@SBaby]

@Alexander Lawrence I never said it wasn't implied. I just mentioned that the fandom doesn't ever talk about it, because the average player's focus becomes Ghondor and Shania after that point in the game and they tend to forget everything else.

watching this reaction to chapter 5 was fun

[@sillarra1738]

It broke everyone.

2:35:32 and by “so many,” they of course mean 3.

It took me a hot minute to realize erythia sea was a portmanteau of eryth sea and leftheria Also N really turned both himself and his wife into immortal soul eaters only to get mindbroken and NTRed by his other self you hate to see it

[@Killertamagotchi]

Small spoiler if you will Theoretically, you can stand in front of the final boss's door and then teleport back to the remaining areas to do all the side quests that are still odd. So like in the predecessors, especially Xenoblade X, you can't suddenly miss something because you're too far into the story

[@SBaby]

Actually, you HAVE TO get pretty close to the final boss for at least one sidequest, and you at least need to enter the final dungeon of the game to gain access to some of the areas for others. So yeah. You can stand in front of the final boss' door (the game will make it very clear when you're there) and leave to do sidequests, and not only that but it's actually preferable to do that in order to gain the extra EXP from the final dungeon.

2:34:50 the Monado clipped thru Taion!

[@SBaby]

3:49:53 - When did Xenoblade 3 suddenly become Clannad: After Story? I kid of course. This is more like Strahd.

[@SBaby]

4:42:16 - I'd like to remind you that Shania and Ghondor are both around 15. So Shania literally just committed child suicide, in a game with Nintendo's name in it, that is NOT called Mother 3.

[@TheZero1312]

In their bios in the Affinity Grid it's stated that Shania and Ghondor are both 18 years old.

[@SBaby]

@@TheZero1312 Well, they're still teenagers anyway. Also, Ghondor does NOT look like an adult. She looks like she's 14 or 15. Same with Shania. So biologically, they might be younger than their age indicates.

[@TheZero1312]

@@SBaby Well, looking younger than you are is definitely a thing.

[@tejasgokhale7783]

@@SBaby it doesn’t matter if Ghondor looks younger than she is, the affinity chart says 18 years so she is 18 years. End of story.

[@SBaby]

@@tejasgokhale7783 Yeah, still a kid though.

[@TheZero1312]

And some people call this story weak? **sigh**

[@bezoznaught5261]

they actually fucking killed her
