this take always comes from ppl who only play the samey online multiplayer shlock that comes out every year. like if you expand your taste past fifa and cod etc you'll find stuff you actually enjoy
the way jelloapocalypse systematically causes problems for every single piece of media he has so much as glanced at is INSANE to me. actual medusa behavior
JelloApocalypse nuked his entire career in less than 24 hours because he thought he could publicly shit on a dub he wrote, including details he wasn't even allowed to talk about
one time when i was in my sophomore yr of undergrad i was talking to this cute guy at a party and i thought we were really hitting it off but then i stood up too fast and got dizzy and passed out and i woke up to him kissing a man and i got so upset about it that i threw up
it's so funny to me how rex spent his time between xc2 and FR getting like, super ripped and huge and buff and hot etc and then shulk somehow got even more scraggly and messy
i hate to say it but "polygamy would've saved them" is untrue the vast majority of the time and if it is true then the love triangle likely wasn't a particularly compelling or well written love triangle in the first place
it's really funny to me how xenoblade 3 now has two dunbanlikes. one of them is shulk and the other is the most suicidally unhinged lesbian you'll ever meet
xenoblade 1 straight up eliminating an entire in-game town with the majority of its residents including named npcs and quest givers to sell the narrative impact of probably the single most shocking plot beat in the entire series is still unparalleled
going to the beach for the next couple days. if i run into a weird red jolly rancher asking me if i want to create a new world at the expense of all current life due to a twisted ideal of a future built on abandonment i'll let u guys know
it's such an interesting duality to me how nikol and glimmer have their parents around, being kind and supportive and protecting them
and then matthew's relationship with his ancestor is, uh... yeah.....
shulk's design is so gorgeous. he's like a 30 year old man freshly out of twinkdeath but before the hells of ageing. no receding hairline yet but years of weathering are getting to him. impermanently beautiful, like a dying star or melting glacier. we love him because he will go
xenoblade expression sheets make me wish there was more animated or drawn media in this franchise because saito can really go hard in a way that the models just can't reflect
@kijukitten
I'm perfectly willing to acknowledge good voice actors like Johnny Yong Bosch and Yuri Lowenthal however there is a reason the top voice actors take up 90% of roles. Honestly, Xenoblade should have just used the same guys FromSoft uses they are all amazing
the funniest thing about future redeemed was swapping to shulk in the W fight like "wow he's surprisingly weak.. but maybe that's part of the series' thesis... it's the young who truly define the world" and then getting rex and he's one of the most busted characters in the series
xenoblade 3 is one of the only jrpgs where i've seen more people thirst over the male lead than any of the female characters and that's extremely funny to me
reading rex as some gigachad sigma male is so funny because in xc2 and xc3 he's just a guy. the first thing he says in FR is "leave it to uncle rex :]" like he's not some overly masculine deity he's just a nice guy with a big heart who tries his best and cares for his friends
xenoblade 3 hiding weapon names in the hero roster is so sad because some of them are genuinely so thematically resonant
noah's going from veiled sword to truthsinger and especially mio's going from dual moonblades to sundancers *really* fucks me up. like to an insane degree
there's something about people who delve into deep expansive and interesting narratives as coomer material first and foremost that annoys me. like im not one to criticize lenses of enjoyment but it feels so boring and weightless
Funny how people shit on Xenoblade 2, and yet it's still pullling in numbers. Unapologetic waifu designs sell. Hope you're paying attention Takahashi for whatever future project you're working on.
There is no place for transphobia here in Wales.
Weโre proudly flying the trans flag this weekend in solidarity with trans people in Wales and around the world.
We want everyone to feel safe to live authentically and freely as themselves.

being able to separate how much a fanbase reflects your viewpoint from your enjoyment of media is a learned skill but one that's really important imo. letting randoms on twitter ruin your experience with a potentially perspective-altering work really sucks
From "Xenoblade Chronicles 3" comes a figma of Mio! The figma comes with four face plates and plenty of optional parts for creating your favorite moments from the game in figma form. Preorder now!

people who think torna/future redeemed are "xc2/xc3 but better" need to go back and replay those base games and realize that the reason torna and FR are so good is because they follow up on and expand upon themes in those games that were done well from the start
if one of rex's kids ever came out to him as transgender they could rest assured that he'd respond with just a "it all adds up to me, kiddo" and probably a pat on the head
its interesting to me that A's unity order with matthew is the only one that has their monado active, especially since he's the one they've deferred judgement to him for the time being
either that or they need to give him a vision before he gets himself killed LOL
it's funny that ppl get at these lines when
a. shulk and rex are old men who are missing an arm and an eye respectively
b. they don't have their godswords from xc1/2
c. nikol and glimmer triggered more ouroboros power which was the decider
d. they're proud of their kids!!
there is not a single one of these that should be above mario and pikachu. im not a nintendo shooter or anything but like they might as well be the face of video games to the general public
old ghondor is the most joever character. imagine coming home from a walk and your dead dad came back to life and killed everyone you know while god possessed your granddaughter to attempt a biblical rapture and now they're fighting an ideological battle with no clear answer
mario/sonic fans bitching about reinterpretations of a single character in different styles with different emotions would never survive the xenoblade mines
if A actually is nonbinary/agender etc i hope people are normal about them lmao. im not nonbinary myself but the way people talked about juniper was insane levels of willful ignorance. remember when xenoblade wiki ran a poll to decide whether they were male or female or whatever
tbh im more annoyed with yuzu rather than nintendo? not trying to dickride the corporation but the best space for emulation to be in is the legal gray area it inhabits. drawing the ire of corpos through unnecessary monetization was a terrible move with predictable results
really funny to me that xc3 and FR introduced a ton of characters who are explicitly kids of previous cast members and also a character who has morag's eyes and a bluer version of her hair with brighid's flames. and then gave her a brighid dlc costume and refused to elaborate.
tbh if you're going to be transphobic about A or juniper or future charas, then i think this series genuinely isn't for you. newsflash: xeno has been exploring gender roles and the ways they're twisted and how people interpret them differently to find their true selves since 1998
