If you guys remember part one, analysis. If you guys remember part one, analysis. If you guys remember part one, I was analyzing the perfect works I was analyzing the perfect works I was analyzing the perfect works timeline and drawing parallels between timeline and drawing parallels between timeline and drawing parallels between events in Xenogearss to the events of events in Xenogearss to the events of events in Xenogearss to the events of Xenolade Chronicles 2 within the Xenolade Chronicles 2 within the Xenolade Chronicles 2 within the five-part timeline that was established five-part timeline that was established five-part timeline that was established in Xenogearss.

Let's start the analysis. Let's start the analysis. First of all, let's talk about one First of all, let's talk about one First of all, let's talk about one character, trope, or archetype that is character, trope, or archetype that is character, trope, or archetype that is prominently at play in Xenolade 2 that prominently at play in Xenolade 2 that prominently at play in Xenolade 2 that is a testament to Sarah Saga's legacy on is a testament to Sarah Saga's legacy on is a testament to Sarah Saga's legacy on the Zeno series. Takahashi's wife was the Zeno series. Takahashi's wife was the Zeno series. Takahashi's wife was responsible for a lot of the character responsible for a lot of the character responsible for a lot of the character writing in Xenoggearss. But one duo in writing in Xenoggearss. But one duo in writing in Xenoggearss. But one duo in particular was Bart, the heir to the particular was Bart, the heir to the particular was Bart, the heir to the throne of A and the Fatima dynasty, and throne of A and the Fatima dynasty, and throne of A and the Fatima dynasty, and his cousin Margie, the next holy mother his cousin Margie, the next holy mother his cousin Margie, the next holy mother of Nissan. Bart is shown as a brash and of Nissan. Bart is shown as a brash and of Nissan. Bart is shown as a brash and stubborn but loyal and supportive friend stubborn but loyal and supportive friend stubborn but loyal and supportive friend and ruler. While Margie is portrayed as and ruler. While Margie is portrayed as and ruler. While Margie is portrayed as a girl devoted to her role as Holy a girl devoted to her role as Holy a girl devoted to her role as Holy Mother, but also has a youthful, Mother, but also has a youthful, Mother, but also has a youthful, childlike, and spunky energy and childlike, and spunky energy and childlike, and spunky energy and demeanor to her in opposition to the demeanor to her in opposition to the demeanor to her in opposition to the other female characters around her, such other female characters around her, such other female characters around her, such as Ellie and Maria. In my opinion, I can as Ellie and Maria. In my opinion, I can as Ellie and Maria. In my opinion, I can really see Bart and Margie in the really see Bart and Margie in the really see Bart and Margie in the characters of Zeke and Pandora. Zeke characters of Zeke and Pandora. Zeke characters of Zeke and Pandora. Zeke particularly is basically barred in his particularly is basically barred in his particularly is basically barred in his role as crown prince of Tantel, but who role as crown prince of Tantel, but who role as crown prince of Tantel, but who is brash, goofy, and sometimes often is brash, goofy, and sometimes often is brash, goofy, and sometimes often disobedient.

disobedient. disobedient. They have their differences. Like, I They have their differences. Like, I They have their differences. Like, I think Bard is a lot more hotheaded, and think Bard is a lot more hotheaded, and think Bard is a lot more hotheaded, and Zeke is way more silly, but you can Zeke is way more silly, but you can Zeke is way more silly, but you can clearly see the comparisons. As for clearly see the comparisons. As for clearly see the comparisons. As for Pandora and Margie, it's more in their Pandora and Margie, it's more in their Pandora and Margie, it's more in their personality and character, as well as personality and character, as well as personality and character, as well as their closeness and deep bond and their closeness and deep bond and their closeness and deep bond and connection to their royal counterpart. connection to their royal counterpart. connection to their royal counterpart. Zeke and Pandora are a driver and blade Zeke and Pandora are a driver and blade Zeke and Pandora are a driver and blade duo who are inseparable and have been duo who are inseparable and have been duo who are inseparable and have been through thick and thin together. Bart through thick and thin together. Bart through thick and thin together. Bart and Margie are cousins who have also and Margie are cousins who have also and Margie are cousins who have also been through some very tough times been through some very tough times been through some very tough times together, but are also supposed to get together, but are also supposed to get together, but are also supposed to get married eventually. I I I know it's married eventually. I I I know it's married eventually. I I I know it's pretty weird, but that's a royalty for pretty weird, but that's a royalty for pretty weird, but that's a royalty for you. I guess their closeness is very you. I guess their closeness is very you. I guess their closeness is very well portrayed near the middle of disc well portrayed near the middle of disc well portrayed near the middle of disc one where you see them both work one where you see them both work one where you see them both work together as two sides of the Fatima together as two sides of the Fatima together as two sides of the Fatima Jasper to uncover A's secret royal Jasper to uncover A's secret royal Jasper to uncover A's secret royal treasure, the Omni Gear Anvari.

One interesting parallel I noticed is One interesting parallel I noticed is how artificial humans and life forms are how artificial humans and life forms are how artificial humans and life forms are represented in these two games. So in represented in these two games. So in represented in these two games. So in Xenogarss we have Emeralda who's a nano Xenogarss we have Emeralda who's a nano Xenogarss we have Emeralda who's a nano machine colony. She's Kim and Elheim's machine colony. She's Kim and Elheim's machine colony. She's Kim and Elheim's daughter who they created with the use daughter who they created with the use daughter who they created with the use of nanom machines since because of of nanom machines since because of of nanom machines since because of genetic imbalance the two of them like genetic imbalance the two of them like genetic imbalance the two of them like many others in the Zebo era could not many others in the Zebo era could not many others in the Zebo era could not have children. In Xenolade 2, we see have children. In Xenolade 2, we see have children. In Xenolade 2, we see Poppy, who is an artificial blade, Poppy, who is an artificial blade, Poppy, who is an artificial blade, basically a robot who acts the same as a basically a robot who acts the same as a basically a robot who acts the same as a blade, but is not entirely powered the blade, but is not entirely powered the blade, but is not entirely powered the same way a blade draws power from their same way a blade draws power from their same way a blade draws power from their driver. She isn't powered by affinity driver. She isn't powered by affinity driver. She isn't powered by affinity and is not awakened by the use of a core and is not awakened by the use of a core and is not awakened by the use of a core crystal. She's created by Torah and his crystal. She's created by Torah and his crystal. She's created by Torah and his family since they themselves could not family since they themselves could not family since they themselves could not awaken blades and be true drivers like awaken blades and be true drivers like awaken blades and be true drivers like other people in all rest. So there's a other people in all rest. So there's a other people in all rest. So there's a little bit of a parallel between Tora little bit of a parallel between Tora little bit of a parallel between Tora and his family's inability to resonate and his family's inability to resonate and his family's inability to resonate with core crystals and the people of with core crystals and the people of with core crystals and the people of Zeboim who could not have children. And Zeboim who could not have children. And Zeboim who could not have children. And then you see Poppy who is an artificial then you see Poppy who is an artificial then you see Poppy who is an artificial blade and then you have Amaralda who's a blade and then you have Amaralda who's a blade and then you have Amaralda who's a nano machine colony. These two nano machine colony. These two nano machine colony. These two characters share that role of being characters share that role of being characters share that role of being artificially created life forms who artificially created life forms who artificially created life forms who learn to find humanity and purpose learn to find humanity and purpose learn to find humanity and purpose within themselves and those around them.

within themselves and those around them. within themselves and those around them. So, let's now talk about some villains a So, let's now talk about some villains a So, let's now talk about some villains a bit before I go into the most important bit before I go into the most important bit before I go into the most important character parallels. So, as I played character parallels. So, as I played character parallels. So, as I played Xenogearss, a lot of Rams's personality Xenogearss, a lot of Rams's personality Xenogearss, a lot of Rams's personality and character arc reminded me a bit of and character arc reminded me a bit of and character arc reminded me a bit of Malos. Of course, Malice is a divine Malos. Of course, Malice is a divine Malos. Of course, Malice is a divine eegis and a part of the Trinity eegis and a part of the Trinity eegis and a part of the Trinity processor used to birth the universes of processor used to birth the universes of processor used to birth the universes of Xenolade 1 and 2. While Ramsis is an Xenolade 1 and 2. While Ramsis is an Xenolade 1 and 2. While Ramsis is an artificially created being that latched artificially created being that latched artificially created being that latched itself to the body of a Solarian boy who itself to the body of a Solarian boy who itself to the body of a Solarian boy who is destined to mature into a clone of is destined to mature into a clone of is destined to mature into a clone of Emperor Cain and a counterpart to Fay, Emperor Cain and a counterpart to Fay, Emperor Cain and a counterpart to Fay, eventually being used as a tool by eventually being used as a tool by eventually being used as a tool by Krellian and Mong to assassinate Cain Krellian and Mong to assassinate Cain Krellian and Mong to assassinate Cain himself. The differences are apparent, himself. The differences are apparent, himself. The differences are apparent, but both characters exhibit narcissistic but both characters exhibit narcissistic but both characters exhibit narcissistic tendencies and are also very inherently tendencies and are also very inherently tendencies and are also very inherently angry and vengeful people. As for their angry and vengeful people. As for their angry and vengeful people. As for their pains and miseries, they're both cast pains and miseries, they're both cast pains and miseries, they're both cast into roles and set on paths that they into roles and set on paths that they into roles and set on paths that they initially had no agency in choosing.

initially had no agency in choosing. initially had no agency in choosing. Rams never wanted to be a clone of Kane, Rams never wanted to be a clone of Kane, Rams never wanted to be a clone of Kane, and the fact that his original purpose and the fact that his original purpose and the fact that his original purpose was to be an artificial contact makes was to be an artificial contact makes was to be an artificial contact makes things even worse for him. He feels things even worse for him. He feels things even worse for him. He feels subordinate. He feels like such a much subordinate. He feels like such a much subordinate. He feels like such a much lesser being compared to his nemesis who lesser being compared to his nemesis who lesser being compared to his nemesis who oneups him in every step of the way. Who oneups him in every step of the way. Who oneups him in every step of the way. Who is Fay? He just sees himself as trash as is Fay? He just sees himself as trash as is Fay? He just sees himself as trash as the Gazelle Ministries say. And his the Gazelle Ministries say. And his the Gazelle Ministries say. And his entire life is centered around giving entire life is centered around giving entire life is centered around giving himself meaning and purpose in this himself meaning and purpose in this himself meaning and purpose in this existence perpetuated on misery. Malice existence perpetuated on misery. Malice existence perpetuated on misery. Malice also never truly wanted to be the also never truly wanted to be the also never truly wanted to be the hateful and destructive person that he hateful and destructive person that he hateful and destructive person that he became. But his goals, ideals, and views became. But his goals, ideals, and views became. But his goals, ideals, and views of the world were shaped by the of the world were shaped by the of the world were shaped by the negative, distorted, and toxic mind and negative, distorted, and toxic mind and negative, distorted, and toxic mind and ambitions of Amalfus. In the end of the ambitions of Amalfus. In the end of the ambitions of Amalfus. In the end of the game, Malice reflects on what life could game, Malice reflects on what life could game, Malice reflects on what life could have been if he was instead awoken by a have been if he was instead awoken by a have been if he was instead awoken by a positive and generous driver like Rex.

positive and generous driver like Rex. positive and generous driver like Rex. And throughout the game, he questions And throughout the game, he questions And throughout the game, he questions his existence, purpose, and motives with his existence, purpose, and motives with his existence, purpose, and motives with himself and Jyn. Both characters share a himself and Jyn. Both characters share a himself and Jyn. Both characters share a very strong existential crisis and loss very strong existential crisis and loss very strong existential crisis and loss of identity, but are portrayed in very of identity, but are portrayed in very of identity, but are portrayed in very different ways. different ways. different ways. Krellian and Amolus also have a lot in Krellian and Amolus also have a lot in Krellian and Amolus also have a lot in common. When I played Zenogearss, I common. When I played Zenogearss, I common. When I played Zenogearss, I initially couldn't equate Krell into any initially couldn't equate Krell into any initially couldn't equate Krell into any other villain in the series. Maybe a other villain in the series. Maybe a other villain in the series. Maybe a little bit of Egiel, but the more I little bit of Egiel, but the more I little bit of Egiel, but the more I thought about it, the more I did see thought about it, the more I did see thought about it, the more I did see Amaleys in him. Even though Krell was on Amaleys in him. Even though Krell was on Amaleys in him. Even though Krell was on the side of the heroes in episode 4, his the side of the heroes in episode 4, his the side of the heroes in episode 4, his mind was twisted from the start. He was mind was twisted from the start. He was mind was twisted from the start. He was always inherently a violent and unstable always inherently a violent and unstable always inherently a violent and unstable man, only ever finding peace within man, only ever finding peace within man, only ever finding peace within himself from Sophia's teachings and himself from Sophia's teachings and himself from Sophia's teachings and presence. But the connection between presence. But the connection between presence. But the connection between Krell and Amalothus is strongest once we Krell and Amalothus is strongest once we Krell and Amalothus is strongest once we see Krell lose his faith. His faith in see Krell lose his faith. His faith in see Krell lose his faith. His faith in humanity and God is severed once Sophia humanity and God is severed once Sophia humanity and God is severed once Sophia dies and all he can think of is reaching dies and all he can think of is reaching dies and all he can think of is reaching that pinnacle of human divinity himself.

that pinnacle of human divinity himself. that pinnacle of human divinity himself. He iconically says that he will create He iconically says that he will create He iconically says that he will create God with his own hands to prove that God with his own hands to prove that God with his own hands to prove that such a power truly exists and to free such a power truly exists and to free such a power truly exists and to free humanity from its terrible clutches of humanity from its terrible clutches of humanity from its terrible clutches of greed, avarice, and negativity. Amouthus greed, avarice, and negativity. Amouthus greed, avarice, and negativity. Amouthus loses faith in humanity much earlier in loses faith in humanity much earlier in loses faith in humanity much earlier in life when he loses his mother to a band life when he loses his mother to a band life when he loses his mother to a band of thieves and briggins. But he of thieves and briggins. But he of thieves and briggins. But he continues to see misery, corruption, and continues to see misery, corruption, and continues to see misery, corruption, and bad and malicious intentions in the bad and malicious intentions in the bad and malicious intentions in the people of Alres throughout his life. people of Alres throughout his life. people of Alres throughout his life. Even when he and many others try to Even when he and many others try to Even when he and many others try to extend a helping hand. After all this, extend a helping hand. After all this, extend a helping hand. After all this, he seeks the architect for answers and he seeks the architect for answers and he seeks the architect for answers and returns with the Eegis cores. Once he returns with the Eegis cores. Once he returns with the Eegis cores. Once he awakens Malos and sets his wrath upon awakens Malos and sets his wrath upon awakens Malos and sets his wrath upon all rest, Amalysus' god complex grows all rest, Amalysus' god complex grows all rest, Amalysus' god complex grows and grows as he ascends to the position and grows as he ascends to the position and grows as he ascends to the position of the prader of the indoline ptorium of the prader of the indoline ptorium of the prader of the indoline ptorium and uses his power and influence to and uses his power and influence to and uses his power and influence to slowly drain all rest titans and blades slowly drain all rest titans and blades slowly drain all rest titans and blades of all their ether and energy. Both of of all their ether and energy. Both of of all their ether and energy. Both of these characters experience loss and these characters experience loss and these characters experience loss and pain that leads to their faith in pain that leads to their faith in pain that leads to their faith in humankind being shattered and which humankind being shattered and which humankind being shattered and which forms a sort of a god complex within forms a sort of a god complex within forms a sort of a god complex within them that only they themselves can them that only they themselves can them that only they themselves can release and save humanity from the release and save humanity from the release and save humanity from the shackles of such pain and misery.

well. well. Gra is my favorite character in all of Gra is my favorite character in all of Gra is my favorite character in all of Xenogearss. He was once a man named Lan Xenogearss. He was once a man named Lan Xenogearss. He was once a man named Lan who was the contactike Fay destined to who was the contactike Fay destined to who was the contactike Fay destined to free the wave existence from his free the wave existence from his free the wave existence from his shackles in the mortal world.

So, what other way to do wave existence. So, what other way to do wave existence. So, what other way to do this than to just destroy the entire this than to just destroy the entire this than to just destroy the entire world? To me, Grav is the typical Zeno world? To me, Grav is the typical Zeno world? To me, Grav is the typical Zeno sad boy here. And no other Xenolade 2 sad boy here. And no other Xenolade 2 sad boy here. And no other Xenolade 2 character fits that trope better than character fits that trope better than character fits that trope better than Jyn. Jyn was once a stoic and Jyn.

Jyn is confused and that Grath does. Jyn is confused and that Grath does. Jyn is confused and furious with the architect for creating furious with the architect for creating furious with the architect for creating Blades the way that they are. Why can Blades the way that they are. Why can Blades the way that they are. Why can they not hold on to the memories of they not hold on to the memories of they not hold on to the memories of their driver once their driver passes their driver once their driver passes their driver once their driver passes away? Why can't blades and drivers live away? Why can't blades and drivers live away? Why can't blades and drivers live truly in harmony with each other? Why truly in harmony with each other?
