![]() ![]() Tiger Tiger is super unnecessary why not salvaging via Rex be the way to get parts for an artificial, robotic blade? That makes so much more sense and would cut down on the amount of systems.īut my main critique of XC2 is the character designs. They're so embarrassing, to the point that if I tell someone about how much I love Xenoblade, I try to avoid any screenshots with female blades in them. XC2's narrative is good, but XC1's is better, imo. The character motives are clear and poignant in XC1. I haven't finished Torna (I need to get back to it), but Jin's motive makes no sense. His love of his life died, so he decides he wants to kill everyone else in the whole world? I mean, I guess that makes sense, but it's not that interesting nor believable. ![]() It's been done before lol, I'm reminded of Super Paper Mario right now with Count Bleck. He's evil just because Amalthos is evil, and a driver and a blade are connected that way? It works, but it's not very relatable to us as viewers, as this evil-driver-affects-blade's-personality isn't something that happens in our own lives. Well, I guess people do have bad influences, so that is relatable there. In the real world, I think people have a bit more chance to do good.īut Malos wasn't influenced to be evil he straight up just awoke evil because Amalthos is such such a bad person. When Malos dies, I found his words very touching, as he realized he may have had a chance to do good, too.Īmalthos is a good villan, and I hate him so so so so so much, which is what a good villan can do. ![]() That said, he does once again suffer from the Count Bleck problem. "Something bad happens to me, therefore I must ruin the whole world!". Many people hate the world because life's given them *****, but few would actually destroy the world for this reason. It would have been much more believeable if Amalthos just hated the speicifc country that destroyed his family, rather than just hating everyone. On another note, I don't see the reason why Pyra exists. It doesn't really add anything to Mythra's character. I guess you could see it as a metaphor of wanting to hide behind another persona after so much trauma, but Pyra's a complete person, so that analogy doesn't exactly hold. A minor nitpick, though, as I love that both Pyra and Mythra exist, and Chapter 3's ending is sooooo epic!Īnd that's the thing: these are all nitpicks in the sense that they are stuff I notice looking back. When playing XC2, it was an amazing ride with great gameplay and tons of twists. And even post-playing, I still love characters like Nia soooo much, as well as Morag and even Rex.
