So, [music] I want to start off by talking [music] I want to start off by talking [music] I want to start off by talking about something that I've been pretty about something that I've been pretty about something that I've been pretty vocal about on this channel and was vocal about on this channel and was vocal about on this channel and was officially confirmed with the reveal of officially confirmed with the reveal of officially confirmed with the reveal of Xenolade Genesis, and that is Project Xenolade Genesis, and that is Project Xenolade Genesis, and that is Project Legacy. If you see over here, we get a Legacy. If you see over here, we get a Legacy. If you see over here, we get a look at Monoloft's file directory on one look at Monoloft's file directory on one look at Monoloft's file directory on one of their PCs, and we can see that the of their PCs, and we can see that the of their PCs, and we can see that the code name for this game is straight up code name for this game is straight up code name for this game is straight up Legacy. And ever since those Nintendo Legacy. And ever since those Nintendo Legacy. And ever since those Nintendo code names leaked, I was certain that code names leaked, I was certain that code names leaked, I was certain that Project Legacy would be tied to what we Project Legacy would be tied to what we Project Legacy would be tied to what we thought back then to be a fantasy new thought back then to be a fantasy new thought back then to be a fantasy new IP. A new IP not connected to Xenolade,

IP. A new IP not connected to Xenolade, IP. A new IP not connected to Xenolade, but having more of a high fantasy focus but having more of a high fantasy focus but having more of a high fantasy focus than Xenoladees sci-fi mixed with than Xenoladees sci-fi mixed with than Xenoladees sci-fi mixed with fantasy. And I went even beyond that. I fantasy. And I went even beyond that. I fantasy. And I went even beyond that. I was like, "Oh, what if it plays more was like, "Oh, what if it plays more was like, "Oh, what if it plays more into the Xenolade X multiplayer kind of into the Xenolade X multiplayer kind of into the Xenolade X multiplayer kind of stuff? And what if it's not Xenolade? stuff? And what if it's not Xenolade? stuff? And what if it's not Xenolade? What if it's completely different? What What if it's completely different? What What if it's completely different? What if it's as high fantasy as something if it's as high fantasy as something if it's as high fantasy as something like a Metaphor fantasy or something like a Metaphor fantasy or something like a Metaphor fantasy or something like that? But little did I know that like that? But little did I know that like that? But little did I know that either this new IP or fantasy game either this new IP or fantasy game either this new IP or fantasy game eventually became Xenolade Genesis or it eventually became Xenolade Genesis or it eventually became Xenolade Genesis or it was always Xenolade from the start. And was always Xenolade from the start. And was always Xenolade from the start. And I just think that's incredible. And one I just think that's incredible. And one I just think that's incredible. And one more thing that I feel a little bit more thing that I feel a little bit more thing that I feel a little bit vindicated on is you guys might remember vindicated on is you guys might remember vindicated on is you guys might remember this video. It was fairly recent. I this video. It was fairly recent. I this video. It was fairly recent. I literally just put it out like maybe literally just put it out like maybe literally just put it out like maybe four weeks back or maybe even like a four weeks back or maybe even like a four weeks back or maybe even like a month back. And in here I say Xenolade month back. And in here I say Xenolade month back. And in here I say Xenolade will continue. Xenolade is not done. All will continue. Xenolade is not done. All will continue. Xenolade is not done. All they're going to do is remove the they're going to do is remove the they're going to do is remove the chronicles and replace the subtitle. And chronicles and replace the subtitle. And chronicles and replace the subtitle. And what do we have? We are in Xenolade what do we have? We are in Xenolade what do we have? We are in Xenolade Genesis. It's a new era of Xenolade. And Genesis. It's a new era of Xenolade. And Genesis. It's a new era of Xenolade. And I love the look so far. And I I think I I love the look so far. And I I think I I love the look so far. And I I think I might have said this in that video as might have said this in that video as might have said this in that video as well, but I wanted this new saga or this well, but I wanted this new saga or this well, but I wanted this new saga or this new arc of Xenolade to be a good new arc of Xenolade to be a good new arc of Xenolade to be a good starting point for new players. And that starting point for new players. And that starting point for new players. And that seems to be what Genesis is going to be.

seems to be what Genesis is going to be. seems to be what Genesis is going to be. Even though there's going to be a lot of Even though there's going to be a lot of Even though there's going to be a lot of references which I'm going to point out references which I'm going to point out references which I'm going to point out in this video and which a lot of my in this video and which a lot of my in this video and which a lot of my other fellow Xenolade loreheads and other fellow Xenolade loreheads and other fellow Xenolade loreheads and friends have pointed out themselves, I friends have pointed out themselves, I friends have pointed out themselves, I think and truly believe just like every think and truly believe just like every think and truly believe just like every other mainline Xenolade game, this will other mainline Xenolade game, this will other mainline Xenolade game, this will be a really good place to start and be a really good place to start and be a really good place to start and maybe even a new first game to start maybe even a new first game to start maybe even a new first game to start with. I for one love the character with. I for one love the character with. I for one love the character designs. I love the high fantasy look designs. I love the high fantasy look designs. I love the high fantasy look and like many of us are saying, it's not and like many of us are saying, it's not and like many of us are saying, it's not going to be all fantasy. This is, you going to be all fantasy. This is, you going to be all fantasy. This is, you know, Blade. I already see a little bit know, Blade. I already see a little bit know, Blade. I already see a little bit of stuff in this trailer that can turn of stuff in this trailer that can turn of stuff in this trailer that can turn this game into quite a sci-fi adventure this game into quite a sci-fi adventure this game into quite a sci-fi adventure as well, and we'll get into that. So, as well, and we'll get into that. So, as well, and we'll get into that. So, with that being said, let's transition with that being said, let's transition with that being said, let's transition to what really stood out to me in this to what really stood out to me in this to what really stood out to me in this new trailer. So, the trailer opens up by new trailer. So, the trailer opens up by new trailer. So, the trailer opens up by establishing that is the source of all establishing that is the source of all establishing that is the source of all things. But the first thing that really things. But the first thing that really things. But the first thing that really jumps out is they mention water, fire, jumps out is they mention water, fire, jumps out is they mention water, fire, and wind. But earth is completely and wind. But earth is completely and wind. But earth is completely missing from here, which is crazy missing from here, which is crazy missing from here, which is crazy because that's usually how everyone because that's usually how everyone because that's usually how everyone refers to the elements in any mystical refers to the elements in any mystical refers to the elements in any mystical or spiritual setting in any sort of or spiritual setting in any sort of or spiritual setting in any sort of fantasy story and not even just within fantasy story and not even just within fantasy story and not even just within something like Avatar the Last something like Avatar the Last something like Avatar the Last Airbender. So I guess everything changed Airbender. So I guess everything changed Airbender. So I guess everything changed when the Earth Kingdom disappeared. I when the Earth Kingdom disappeared. I when the Earth Kingdom disappeared. I guess also I'm going to jump into guess also I'm going to jump into guess also I'm going to jump into references here real quick just to talk references here real quick just to talk references here real quick just to talk about how and work in Zenogearss and the about how and work in Zenogearss and the about how and work in Zenogearss and the broader Yungian psychology that's woven broader Yungian psychology that's woven broader Yungian psychology that's woven into the Zeno franchise. In Carl into the Zeno franchise. In Carl into the Zeno franchise.

And those with the strong enough alignment could with the strong enough alignment could with the strong enough alignment could interface with relics, also known as interface with relics, also known as interface with relics, also known as vessels of bond with their gears and vessels of bond with their gears and vessels of bond with their gears and awaken god-defying omniars. Going beyond awaken god-defying omniars. Going beyond awaken god-defying omniars. Going beyond Xenoggearss, we can see how and Animus Xenoggearss, we can see how and Animus Xenoggearss, we can see how and Animus reflect in Xenolade 2 and three. In reflect in Xenolade 2 and three. In reflect in Xenolade 2 and three. In Xenolade 3, Anima and Animus is Xenolade 3, Anima and Animus is Xenolade 3, Anima and Animus is perfectly portrayed with how a cavei and perfectly portrayed with how a cavei and perfectly portrayed with how a cavei and agy and interlink to form an Oruraoros agy and interlink to form an Oruraoros agy and interlink to form an Oruraoros entity. We can even see a distinct green entity. We can even see a distinct green entity. We can even see a distinct green hue throughout this trailer that feels hue throughout this trailer that feels hue throughout this trailer that feels incredibly Ouroros and Numa coded. We incredibly Ouroros and Numa coded. We incredibly Ouroros and Numa coded. We also see Anima and Animus in the Blade also see Anima and Animus in the Blade also see Anima and Animus in the Blade and Driver system in Xenolade 2, where and Driver system in Xenolade 2, where and Driver system in Xenolade 2, where humans and mortal beings in all rest humans and mortal beings in all rest humans and mortal beings in all rest bond with mystical beings that come from bond with mystical beings that come from bond with mystical beings that come from core crystals, creating a strong bond core crystals, creating a strong bond core crystals, creating a strong bond and boost in power when their affinity and boost in power when their affinity and boost in power when their affinity is fully realized. It seems that is fully realized. It seems that is fully realized. It seems that Xenolade Genesis is effectively equating Xenolade Genesis is effectively equating Xenolade Genesis is effectively equating to how we understand ether to function to how we understand ether to function to how we understand ether to function across the main numbered Klouse trilogy.

across the main numbered Klouse trilogy. across the main numbered Klouse trilogy. And that tracks with how I described And that tracks with how I described And that tracks with how I described just now since it's like the mystical just now since it's like the mystical just now since it's like the mystical and fantastical elements of the world in and fantastical elements of the world in and fantastical elements of the world in their respective games and can their respective games and can their respective games and can definitely be a replacement for Ether in definitely be a replacement for Ether in definitely be a replacement for Ether in this new saga or a reference to how this new saga or a reference to how this new saga or a reference to how Ether was employed in the world of the Ether was employed in the world of the Ether was employed in the world of the other games. The actual war scene in other games. The actual war scene in other games. The actual war scene in this trailer is insane because it this trailer is insane because it this trailer is insane because it confirmed to me that the long rumored confirmed to me that the long rumored confirmed to me that the long rumored Monoloft fantasy game was never really a Monoloft fantasy game was never really a Monoloft fantasy game was never really a separate project or a new IP. It was a separate project or a new IP. It was a separate project or a new IP. It was a Xenolade Genesis all along. We've never Xenolade Genesis all along. We've never Xenolade Genesis all along. We've never seen anything like this in a Xenolade seen anything like this in a Xenolade seen anything like this in a Xenolade game. We've never seen anyone wearing game. We've never seen anyone wearing game. We've never seen anyone wearing this specific style of medieval armor or this specific style of medieval armor or this specific style of medieval armor or utilizing these kinds of weapons. Not utilizing these kinds of weapons. Not utilizing these kinds of weapons. Not even really in Tor of the Golden even really in Tor of the Golden even really in Tor of the Golden Country. This aesthetic feels incredibly Country. This aesthetic feels incredibly Country. This aesthetic feels incredibly medieval and fantasycoded, almost like medieval and fantasycoded, almost like medieval and fantasycoded, almost like something straight out of Fire Emblem, something straight out of Fire Emblem, something straight out of Fire Emblem, Metaphor Refantasio, or Final Fantasy. Metaphor Refantasio, or Final Fantasy. Metaphor Refantasio, or Final Fantasy. The trailer notes that these battles The trailer notes that these battles The trailer notes that these battles were entirely decided by and the were entirely decided by and the were entirely decided by and the warriors who could wield this power are warriors who could wield this power are warriors who could wield this power are known as Vesseli.

And I think they're also Zenogearss. And I think they're also Zenogearss. And I think they're also present in Zeno saga. These warriors are present in Zeno saga. These warriors are present in Zeno saga. These warriors are literally acting as physical vessels to literally acting as physical vessels to literally acting as physical vessels to use in combat, unleashing a distinct use in combat, unleashing a distinct use in combat, unleashing a distinct purple glow whenever they fight. Our purple glow whenever they fight. Our purple glow whenever they fight. Our main female protagonist is named main female protagonist is named main female protagonist is named Eleanor, who is fighting another

Eleanor, who is fighting another Eleanor, who is fighting another character we'll see later in this character we'll see later in this character we'll see later in this trailer as well. These two are students trailer as well. These two are students trailer as well. These two are students of Lucos Academy, but are also Vesseli of Lucos Academy, but are also Vesseli of Lucos Academy, but are also Vesseli locked into combat. And this scene here locked into combat. And this scene here locked into combat. And this scene here seems to be establishing quite the seems to be establishing quite the seems to be establishing quite the rivalry between the two because this is rivalry between the two because this is rivalry between the two because this is not the only time we see them clash not the only time we see them clash not the only time we see them clash swords in this trailer. Over here, swords in this trailer. Over here, swords in this trailer. Over here, Eleanor states, "I'll uphold this blades Eleanor states, "I'll uphold this blades Eleanor states, "I'll uphold this blades honor. I swear it." And even though this honor. I swear it." And even though this honor. I swear it." And even though this isn't really related to Xenolade, this isn't really related to Xenolade, this isn't really related to Xenolade, this instantly gives me massive Final Fantasy instantly gives me massive Final Fantasy instantly gives me massive Final Fantasy 7 and Crisis Core vibes. regarding the 7 and Crisis Core vibes. regarding the 7 and Crisis Core vibes. regarding the legacy of the buster sword which was legacy of the buster sword which was legacy of the buster sword which was passed down from Nio to Zach and then passed down from Nio to Zach and then passed down from Nio to Zach and then eventually to cloud. The context eventually to cloud. The context eventually to cloud. The context suggests that this rapeer originally suggests that this rapeer originally suggests that this rapeer originally belonged to the male character standing belonged to the male character standing belonged to the male character standing next to her who shares a similar kind of next to her who shares a similar kind of next to her who shares a similar kind of hairstyle and color. And I think this is hairstyle and color. And I think this is hairstyle and color. And I think this is most certainly her older brother who we most certainly her older brother who we most certainly her older brother who we actually see again later in the trailer. actually see again later in the trailer. actually see again later in the trailer. It seems Eleanor is stepping up to carry It seems Eleanor is stepping up to carry It seems Eleanor is stepping up to carry his legacy after he might potentially his legacy after he might potentially his legacy after he might potentially pass away or leave or just kind of pass away or leave or just kind of pass away or leave or just kind of disappear from the story. Eleanor's disappear from the story. Eleanor's disappear from the story. Eleanor's motivation for enrolling in the academy motivation for enrolling in the academy motivation for enrolling in the academy seems entirely driven by her brother's seems entirely driven by her brother's seems entirely driven by her brother's apparent death or disappearance and apparent death or disappearance and apparent death or disappearance and seeking answers and carrying his sword's seeking answers and carrying his sword's seeking answers and carrying his sword's legacy forward, as we see with some of legacy forward, as we see with some of legacy forward, as we see with some of her dialogue a little later on in the her dialogue a little later on in the her dialogue a little later on in the trailer. And we also see a headmaster or trailer. And we also see a headmaster or trailer.

It's going to be really awesome to actually ride these really awesome to actually ride these really awesome to actually ride these creatures across the open world of this creatures across the open world of this creatures across the open world of this game. A lot of people were drawing game. A lot of people were drawing game. A lot of people were drawing comparisons to these creatures and the comparisons to these creatures and the comparisons to these creatures and the wolves that we see early on in wolves that we see early on in wolves that we see early on in Zenogearss that we fight on the way to Zenogearss that we fight on the way to Zenogearss that we fight on the way to Satan's house. And in my opinion, they Satan's house. And in my opinion, they Satan's house. And in my opinion, they only really share a similar color only really share a similar color only really share a similar color scheme. And that's it. The actual scheme. And that's it. The actual scheme. And that's it. The actual anatomy is more similar to that of like anatomy is more similar to that of like anatomy is more similar to that of like a wild hybrid of a horse, a wolf, and a a wild hybrid of a horse, a wolf, and a a wild hybrid of a horse, a wolf, and a little bit of a bird because look, it's little bit of a bird because look, it's little bit of a bird because look, it's got like a literal beak there. More than got like a literal beak there. More than got like a literal beak there. More than anything, these mounts remind me of this anything, these mounts remind me of this anything, these mounts remind me of this animal we saw in the early Monolafoft animal we saw in the early Monolafoft animal we saw in the early Monolafoft fantasy game concept art. So, it seems fantasy game concept art. So, it seems fantasy game concept art. So, it seems that this is what they eventually have that this is what they eventually have that this is what they eventually have evolved into design-wise. So, this scene evolved into design-wise.

So, this scene features this male character slamming features this male character slamming features this male character slamming the ground to trigger a purple and blue the ground to trigger a purple and blue the ground to trigger a purple and blue kind of explosion with a little bit of a kind of explosion with a little bit of a kind of explosion with a little bit of a glitching effect. And this downward glitching effect. And this downward glitching effect. And this downward punch really reminds me of how Matthew punch really reminds me of how Matthew punch really reminds me of how Matthew uses his Orabor's gauntlets in Future uses his Orabor's gauntlets in Future uses his Orabor's gauntlets in Future Redeemed. And the purple, blue, and

Redeemed. And the purple, blue, and Redeemed. And the purple, blue, and green glow is very indicative of a lot green glow is very indicative of a lot green glow is very indicative of a lot of stuff we've seen in prior games, of stuff we've seen in prior games, of stuff we've seen in prior games, which I'll talk about a little later on which I'll talk about a little later on which I'll talk about a little later on in the video. But right after the in the video. But right after the in the video. But right after the impact, a massive claw erupts from this impact, a massive claw erupts from this impact, a massive claw erupts from this kind of explosion and this wave of kind of explosion and this wave of kind of explosion and this wave of energy. And it looks very, very Orura energy. And it looks very, very Orura energy. And it looks very, very Orura coded and reminiscent of a particular coded and reminiscent of a particular coded and reminiscent of a particular art that the Aries uses in Xenolade X, art that the Aries uses in Xenolade X, art that the Aries uses in Xenolade X, which we'll talk about a little bit more which we'll talk about a little bit more which we'll talk about a little bit more later. And in this scene, we see a girl later. And in this scene, we see a girl later.

in this portion over here with this in this portion over here with this spiritual ritual. So, this ritual seems spiritual ritual. So, this ritual seems spiritual ritual. So, this ritual seems to be the game's equivalent of offseing to be the game's equivalent of offseing to be the game's equivalent of offseing and like an offseing ceremony like we and like an offseing ceremony like we and like an offseing ceremony like we saw in Xenolade 3. We see this girl saw in Xenolade 3. We see this girl saw in Xenolade 3. We see this girl dancing with that same identical rod as dancing with that same identical rod as dancing with that same identical rod as we saw from the authoritarian we saw from the authoritarian we saw from the authoritarian uh Solaris people from the last shot I uh Solaris people from the last shot I uh Solaris people from the last shot I talked about.

And as she's dancing, glowing blue and white light modes rise glowing blue and white light modes rise glowing blue and white light modes rise directly into the sky in the direction directly into the sky in the direction directly into the sky in the direction of the six suns. The framing of this of the six suns. The framing of this of the six suns. The framing of this entire scene directly mirrors the iconic entire scene directly mirrors the iconic entire scene directly mirrors the iconic moment in Xenolade 3 where Noah and Mio moment in Xenolade 3 where Noah and Mio moment in Xenolade 3 where Noah and Mio first off see Vanam after his death with first off see Vanam after his death with first off see Vanam after his death with the rest of the party.

And this shot also gives us a clear look at what also gives us a clear look at what also gives us a clear look at what appears to be our full main party in appears to be our full main party in appears to be our full main party in Xenolade Genesis. So here's a quick Xenolade Genesis. So here's a quick Xenolade Genesis. So here's a quick theory I have about the offseing, the theory I have about the offseing, the theory I have about the offseing, the suns, and the role of the Vesseli in suns, and the role of the Vesseli in suns, and the role of the Vesseli in relation to their powers and crystones. relation to their powers and crystones. relation to their powers and crystones. The offseing rituals might actively be The offseing rituals might actively be The offseing rituals might actively be sending human data and energy up to the sending human data and energy up to the sending human data and energy up to the suns that was once recorded on their suns that was once recorded on their suns that was once recorded on their crystones. Also, I'm assuming that these crystones. Also, I'm assuming that these crystones. Also, I'm assuming that these suns are not real suns at all. They're suns are not real suns at all. They're suns are not real suns at all. They're most likely highly advanced man-made most likely highly advanced man-made most likely highly advanced man-made creations, potentially even massive creations, potentially even massive creations, potentially even massive spaceships or floating orbital data spaceships or floating orbital data spaceships or floating orbital data centers operated by the Solaris like centers operated by the Solaris like centers operated by the Solaris like authoritarian elite looking down on the authoritarian elite looking down on the authoritarian elite looking down on the world of Anshar from a higher city.

And these authoritarian elite would give these authoritarian elite would give these authoritarian elite would give these specific offseers and dancers

these specific offseers and dancers these specific offseers and dancers these rods to send their data all the these rods to send their data all the these rods to send their data all the way back up. But of course, the Vesseli way back up. But of course, the Vesseli way back up. But of course, the Vesseli and the dancers don't know the true and the dancers don't know the true and the dancers don't know the true reason behind why they're even doing any reason behind why they're even doing any reason behind why they're even doing any of this.

The gem radiates a deep purple stone. The gem radiates a deep purple stone. The gem radiates a deep purple color, also with the shimmery galaxy color, also with the shimmery galaxy color, also with the shimmery galaxy aesthetic. A lot of us are already aesthetic.

A lot of us are already jumping to conclusions equating this jumping to conclusions equating this jumping to conclusions equating this directly to Logos or Malos, thinking directly to Logos or Malos, thinking directly to Logos or Malos, thinking it's some kind of Logos deity archetype it's some kind of Logos deity archetype it's some kind of Logos deity archetype powering up a signature weapon like how powering up a signature weapon like how powering up a signature weapon like how Logos was residing within N sword of the Logos was residing within N sword of the Logos was residing within N sword of the End. And I also don't remember if End. And I also don't remember if End. And I also don't remember if Takashi specifically said that it was a Takashi specifically said that it was a Takashi specifically said that it was a Logos or Malos within the sword. I Logos or Malos within the sword. I Logos or Malos within the sword. I remember he was very particular with his remember he was very particular with his remember he was very particular with his kind of reference to that in Ionius kind of reference to that in Ionius kind of reference to that in Ionius moments. What's interesting is the moments. What's interesting is the moments. What's interesting is the symbol that appears on the Anima Cry symbol that appears on the Anima Cry symbol that appears on the Anima Cry stone once it's slotted into Eleanor's stone once it's slotted into Eleanor's stone once it's slotted into Eleanor's weapon actually closely resembles the

And you immediately to it overall. And you immediately to it overall. And you immediately remember the Xenolade 2 sword when you remember the Xenolade 2 sword when you remember the Xenolade 2 sword when you see something like this. I also feel see something like this.

I also feel like the purple glow is far more likely like the purple glow is far more likely like the purple glow is far more likely to be an intentional nod to Uro Boro's to be an intentional nod to Uro Boro's to be an intentional nod to Uro Boro's energy rather than a logo's connection energy rather than a logo's connection energy rather than a logo's connection here. Also, the teacher or the here. Also, the teacher or the here. Also, the teacher or the headmaster explicitly calls it ana headmaster explicitly calls it ana headmaster explicitly calls it ana cry stone. And given that the ultimate cry stone. And given that the ultimate cry stone. And given that the ultimate manifestation of in this franchise manifestation of in this franchise manifestation of in this franchise usually relates to Numa, seeing that usually relates to Numa, seeing that usually relates to Numa, seeing that symbol which relates to Numa appear as symbol which relates to Numa appear as symbol which relates to Numa appear as sort of like a manato art feels heavily sort of like a manato art feels heavily sort of like a manato art feels heavily much more Uraoros aligned. That said, I much more Uraoros aligned. That said, I much more Uraoros aligned. That said, I definitely think Malos or Logos will definitely think Malos or Logos will definitely think Malos or Logos will still play a role in this game. I just still play a role in this game. I just still play a role in this game. I just don't really know how. whether he's don't really know how. whether he's don't really know how. whether he's going to be powering up a blade, if he's going to be powering up a blade, if he's going to be powering up a blade, if he's going to be integral to the Animus going to be integral to the Animus going to be integral to the Animus factor that I talked about before, or factor that I talked about before, or factor that I talked about before, or he'll be reborn again. We will see him he'll be reborn again. We will see him he'll be reborn again. We will see him in like a different kind of eegis form in like a different kind of eegis form in like a different kind of eegis form that he'll take on. Also, the fact that that he'll take on. Also, the fact that that he'll take on. Also, the fact that an animma stone amplifies a vessel's an animma stone amplifies a vessel's an animma stone amplifies a vessel's innate power while simultaneously innate power while simultaneously innate power while simultaneously recording every single thought, choice, recording every single thought, choice, recording every single thought, choice, and daily action of its bearer feels and daily action of its bearer feels and daily action of its bearer feels remarkably familiar. It reminds me of remarkably familiar. It reminds me of remarkably familiar. It reminds me of how Eegis's cores worked in Xenolade 2.

Basically, every blade across all rest Basically, every blade across all rest Basically, every blade across all rest would send data of their lives, would send data of their lives, would send data of their lives, experiences, and just overall existence experiences, and just overall existence experiences, and just overall existence to the eegises so that more refined and to the eegises so that more refined and to the eegises so that more refined and well-developed blades could be produced. well-developed blades could be produced. well-developed blades could be produced.

There's another incredible Xenolade 3. There's another incredible Xenolade 3. There's another incredible combat detail here to highlight. When combat detail here to highlight. When combat detail here to highlight. When Eleanor brandishes her sword here early Eleanor brandishes her sword here early Eleanor brandishes her sword here early on in the trailer, there's this specific on in the trailer, there's this specific on in the trailer, there's this specific shimmery reflective effect happening shimmery reflective effect happening shimmery reflective effect happening with her blade. That visual effect looks with her blade. That visual effect looks with her blade. That visual effect looks almost exactly like the way N unshaths almost exactly like the way N unshaths almost exactly like the way N unshaths his blade in Xenolade 3. Almost as if his blade in Xenolade 3. Almost as if his blade in Xenolade 3. Almost as if she's preparing to execute an attack she's preparing to execute an attack she's preparing to execute an attack similar to N and Noah's tacky onslash similar to N and Noah's tacky onslash similar to N and Noah's tacky onslash with their sword of the end and lucky with their sword of the end and lucky with their sword of the end and lucky seven. The shimmer also heavily evokes seven. The shimmer also heavily evokes seven. The shimmer also heavily evokes the reflective visor aesthetic of the the reflective visor aesthetic of the the reflective visor aesthetic of the Aries Prime in Xenolade X Definitive Aries Prime in Xenolade X Definitive Aries Prime in Xenolade X Definitive Edition chapter 13. Just some Edition chapter 13. Just some Edition chapter 13. Just some observations that I noticed. Also, as I observations that I noticed. Also, as I observations that I noticed. Also, as I was editing, I noticed it really was editing, I noticed it really was editing, I noticed it really reminded me of this effect that happens reminded me of this effect that happens reminded me of this effect that happens to Matthew in this cut scene in Future to Matthew in this cut scene in Future to Matthew in this cut scene in Future Demed. I literally was looking at this Demed. I literally was looking at this Demed. I literally was looking at this cut scene just to get footage and I cut scene just to get footage and I cut scene just to get footage and I noticed it had almost an a more noticed it had almost an a more noticed it had almost an a more identical shimmer effect than N sword or identical shimmer effect than N sword or identical shimmer effect than N sword or the Aries. So yeah, that's pretty cool.

the Aries. So yeah, that's pretty cool. the Aries. So yeah, that's pretty cool. Also here, when Eleanor draws her Also here, when Eleanor draws her Also here, when Eleanor draws her rapier, her vessel power manifests a rapier, her vessel power manifests a rapier, her vessel power manifests a double helix visual effect. It behaves double helix visual effect. It behaves double helix visual effect. It behaves almost exactly like a Mobius effect almost exactly like a Mobius effect almost exactly like a Mobius effect pulling a direct visual from how N uses pulling a direct visual from how N uses pulling a direct visual from how N uses his sword at the end in Zen 3. Also, his sword at the end in Zen 3. Also, his sword at the end in Zen 3. Also, remember this Mobius/ora remember this Mobius/ora remember this Mobius/ora creature or transformed person? Not only creature or transformed person? Not only creature or transformed person? Not only does it look like both of those things does it look like both of those things does it look like both of those things with its ornate design and glossy with its ornate design and glossy with its ornate design and glossy texturing and wings and all that, but it texturing and wings and all that, but it texturing and wings and all that, but it specifically reminds me of the design of specifically reminds me of the design of specifically reminds me of the design of Nyel when she became Alpha's Avatar. Nyel when she became Alpha's Avatar. Nyel when she became Alpha's Avatar. Also, that mask reminds me of Alpha's Also, that mask reminds me of Alpha's Also, that mask reminds me of Alpha's final form in the final boss of Future final form in the final boss of Future final form in the final boss of Future Redeemed.

All of these mechs and forms and beings all share mechs and forms and beings all share mechs and forms and beings all share this creepy, mysterious blank stare. this creepy, mysterious blank stare. this creepy, mysterious blank stare. Just another observation I thought I'd Just another observation I thought I'd Just another observation I thought I'd point out. I'm not really sure how this point out. I'm not really sure how this point out. I'm not really sure how this creature might relate to them, but creature might relate to them, but creature might relate to them, but that's just an observation that I made.

that's just an observation that I made. that's just an observation that I made. Let's move on to even more Xenolade X Let's move on to even more Xenolade X Let's move on to even more Xenolade X references. So, Xenolade X is very, references. So, Xenolade X is very, references. So, Xenolade X is very, very, very sci-fi in [music] its tone very, very sci-fi in [music] its tone very, very sci-fi in [music] its tone and setting. And we hardly see any and setting. And we hardly see any and setting. And we hardly see any sci-fi here in the Genesis trailer. It's sci-fi here in the Genesis trailer. It's sci-fi here in the Genesis trailer. It's much more fantasycoded. And when you much more fantasycoded. And when you much more fantasycoded. And when you plunge into a high fantasy setting, plunge into a high fantasy setting, plunge into a high fantasy setting, you're naturally going to expect classic you're naturally going to expect classic you're naturally going to expect classic fantasy trope, like characters with elf fantasy trope, like characters with elf fantasy trope, like characters with elf ears. But the second those elf ears were ears. But the second those elf ears were ears. But the second those elf ears were flashed on the screen, my mind flashed on the screen, my mind flashed on the screen, my mind immediately ignored the standard fantasy immediately ignored the standard fantasy immediately ignored the standard fantasy elf tropes like we see in so many other elf tropes like we see in so many other elf tropes like we see in so many other games like Dragon Quest or Zelda or even games like Dragon Quest or Zelda or even games like Dragon Quest or Zelda or even the rousant in Metaphor Refantasio. My the rousant in Metaphor Refantasio. My the rousant in Metaphor Refantasio. My mind instead went straight to the mind instead went straight to the mind instead went straight to the Samarians. I know it sounds like a total Samarians. I know it sounds like a total Samarians.

And if you take Oblivia ring from Mero. And if you take Oblivia ring from Mero. And if you take a look at this shot near the end of the a look at this shot near the end of the a look at this shot near the end of the trailer in the top right, we see this trailer in the top right, we see this trailer in the top right, we see this jagged volcanic terrain which nearly jagged volcanic terrain which nearly jagged volcanic terrain which nearly looks identical to Cauldros from a looks identical to Cauldros from a looks identical to Cauldros from a distance. It would be insane if we see distance. It would be insane if we see distance. It would be insane if we see some familiar landmarks like Orom Castle some familiar landmarks like Orom Castle some familiar landmarks like Orom Castle or even see the rise of the civilization or even see the rise of the civilization or even see the rise of the civilization relating to it that we hear about in relating to it that we hear about in relating to it that we hear about in Xenolade X. Monoloft releasing Xenolade Xenolade X. Monoloft releasing Xenolade Xenolade X. Monoloft releasing Xenolade Chronicles X Definitive Edition when Chronicles X Definitive Edition when Chronicles X Definitive Edition when they did was so important. Expanding they did was so important. Expanding they did was so important. Expanding that story and completing the narrative that story and completing the narrative that story and completing the narrative in 2025 gave us the crucial context

in 2025 gave us the crucial context in 2025 gave us the crucial context regarding the Samarian lineage, who regarding the Samarian lineage, who regarding the Samarian lineage, who their descendants were, who the great their descendants were, who the great their descendants were, who the great one void truly was, how he tampered with one void truly was, how he tampered with one void truly was, how he tampered with the conduit, and what it took to the conduit, and what it took to the conduit, and what it took to engineer the original Aries scale with engineer the original Aries scale with engineer the original Aries scale with the cores from the conduit that was the cores from the conduit that was the cores from the conduit that was present in Void's universe. We already present in Void's universe. We already present in Void's universe. We already know the ancient Samarians possessed know the ancient Samarians possessed know the ancient Samarians possessed pointed ears, which makes the ears in pointed ears, which makes the ears in pointed ears, which makes the ears in this trailer incredibly fascinating and this trailer incredibly fascinating and this trailer incredibly fascinating and telling. And what's even more telling. And what's even more telling. And what's even more interesting, as Eleanor walks through interesting, as Eleanor walks through interesting, as Eleanor walks through the academy cafeteria, you can see that the academy cafeteria, you can see that the academy cafeteria, you can see that she and a few other students have she and a few other students have she and a few other students have distinct elf ears, while many other distinct elf ears, while many other distinct elf ears, while many other students have completely normal human students have completely normal human students have completely normal human ears. And this is reflected in our party ears. And this is reflected in our party ears. And this is reflected in our party members, too. Like look, we sort of have members, too. Like look, we sort of have members, too. Like look, we sort of have like half elf ears, half without elf like half elf ears, half without elf like half elf ears, half without elf ears. kind of interesting. This leaves ears. kind of interesting. This leaves ears. kind of interesting. This leaves us with another mystery. Are we looking us with another mystery. Are we looking us with another mystery. Are we looking at protoamorans, at protoamorans, at protoamorans, future Samarian descendants, or a future Samarian descendants, or a future Samarian descendants, or a completely isolated Samorian offshoot?

completely isolated Samorian offshoot? completely isolated Samorian offshoot? Remember, Xenolade XDE chapter 13 Remember, Xenolade XDE chapter 13 Remember, Xenolade XDE chapter 13 completely blew the doors open by completely blew the doors open by completely blew the doors open by introducing the rift between worlds, introducing the rift between worlds, introducing the rift between worlds, confirming that the Samarians traveled confirming that the Samarians traveled confirming that the Samarians traveled across entirely different universes, across entirely different universes, across entirely different universes, leaving behind diverse descendant leaving behind diverse descendant leaving behind diverse descendant factions like the Kuran, the humans of factions like the Kuran, the humans of factions like the Kuran, the humans of Earth in Xenolade X and also Elma's Earth in Xenolade X and also Elma's Earth in Xenolade X and also Elma's civilization. Genesis could easily be civilization. Genesis could easily be civilization. Genesis could easily be another parallel universe that the another parallel universe that the another parallel universe that the Samarians colonized, which explains why Samarians colonized, which explains why Samarians colonized, which explains why it feels very different from any of the it feels very different from any of the it feels very different from any of the other ones we've seen in Xenolade X. But other ones we've seen in Xenolade X. But other ones we've seen in Xenolade X. But the question is, why is the setting so the question is, why is the setting so the question is, why is the setting so high fantasy? It might just be that they high fantasy? It might just be that they high fantasy? It might just be that they simply haven't unlocked the reality simply haven't unlocked the reality simply haven't unlocked the reality bending technology of the later eras bending technology of the later eras bending technology of the later eras yet. But the fantasy aspect of this game yet. But the fantasy aspect of this game yet. But the fantasy aspect of this game makes me still believe that this could makes me still believe that this could makes me still believe that this could potentially even be a prequel to not potentially even be a prequel to not potentially even be a prequel to not only the Samarians, but to Klaus's only the Samarians, but to Klaus's only the Samarians, but to Klaus's world, too. We'll get to that a little world, too. We'll get to that a little world, too. We'll get to that a little bit later on in the video. The bit later on in the video. The bit later on in the video. The connection to Xenolade X also explains connection to Xenolade X also explains connection to Xenolade X also explains that claw that emerged from the Urooros that claw that emerged from the Urooros that claw that emerged from the Urooros energy earlier in the trailer. To me, it energy earlier in the trailer. To me, it energy earlier in the trailer. To me, it looks nearly identical to the signature looks nearly identical to the signature looks nearly identical to the signature Hecaton piercer art that can be used by Hecaton piercer art that can be used by Hecaton piercer art that can be used by Aries Prime in chapter 13 of Xenolade Aries Prime in chapter 13 of Xenolade Aries Prime in chapter 13 of Xenolade XDE.

So whatever these vessel conduit. So whatever these vessel conduit. So whatever these vessel warriors are tapping into via their warriors are tapping into via their warriors are tapping into via their crystones, it could be drawing from that crystones, it could be drawing from that crystones, it could be drawing from that exact same high tier cosmic power. Also,

Also, speaking of the rift in Aries, I wanted speaking of the rift in Aries, I wanted speaking of the rift in Aries, I wanted to talk about one more thing relating to to talk about one more thing relating to to talk about one more thing relating to Xenolade X. This is entirely about the Xenolade X. This is entirely about the Xenolade X. This is entirely about the logo of Xenolade Genesis. Every single logo of Xenolade Genesis.

Every single Xenolade game uses its logo to telegraph Xenolade game uses its logo to telegraph Xenolade game uses its logo to telegraph major narrative themes, and Xenolade major narrative themes, and Xenolade major narrative themes, and Xenolade Genesis is absolutely no different. Look Genesis is absolutely no different. Look Genesis is absolutely no different. Look at the typography here. You got these at the typography here. You got these at the typography here. You got these sharp purple fractal fragments and this sharp purple fractal fragments and this sharp purple fractal fragments and this distinct rainbow imagery shimmering distinct rainbow imagery shimmering distinct rainbow imagery shimmering across the title. Right out of the gate, across the title. Right out of the gate, across the title. Right out of the gate, that visual styling mirrors the vessel that visual styling mirrors the vessel that visual styling mirrors the vessel power as we see throughout the trailer. power as we see throughout the trailer. power as we see throughout the trailer. specifically that purple and green specifically that purple and green specifically that purple and green energy emanating from the characters energy emanating from the characters energy emanating from the characters that looks incredibly reminiscent of that looks incredibly reminiscent of that looks incredibly reminiscent of Uruboros, Numa, and even Aries Prime. Uruboros, Numa, and even Aries Prime. Uruboros, Numa, and even Aries Prime. But let's look back at the other But let's look back at the other But let's look back at the other Xenolade logos. The original game, Xenolade logos. The original game, Xenolade logos. The original game, Xenolade 1, had that rougher mechanical Xenolade 1, had that rougher mechanical Xenolade 1, had that rougher mechanical texture to it to evoke the style of the texture to it to evoke the style of the texture to it to evoke the style of the Meccon. Definitive Edition added Meccon. Definitive Edition added Meccon. Definitive Edition added feathers to tie into Melia's story in feathers to tie into Melia's story in feathers to tie into Melia's story in Future Connected. Xenolade 2 added fire Future Connected. Xenolade 2 added fire Future Connected. Xenolade 2 added fire effects and a literal stylized X into effects and a literal stylized X into effects and a literal stylized X into the logo to match Pyro's outfit and her the logo to match Pyro's outfit and her the logo to match Pyro's outfit and her elemental qualities. Xenolade 3 featured elemental qualities. Xenolade 3 featured elemental qualities.

Even Xenolade Chronicles X number three. Even Xenolade Chronicles X number three. Even Xenolade Chronicles X used a metallic texture to represent the used a metallic texture to represent the used a metallic texture to represent the scales and the armor plating of the scales and the armor plating of the scales and the armor plating of the machinery. Also, the blue hue of the X machinery. Also, the blue hue of the X machinery. Also, the blue hue of the X matched the blade organization and even matched the blade organization and even matched the blade organization and even the protective gel that expanded when the protective gel that expanded when the protective gel that expanded when the white whale crashed in Primordia.

the white whale crashed in Primordia. the white whale crashed in Primordia. With Genesis, the logo design goes much With Genesis, the logo design goes much With Genesis, the logo design goes much deeper than just matching the vesselized deeper than just matching the vesselized deeper than just matching the vesselized power. It strongly reminds me of the power. It strongly reminds me of the power. It strongly reminds me of the rift between worlds that we saw in rift between worlds that we saw in rift between worlds that we saw in Xenolade Chronicles X Definitive Xenolade Chronicles X Definitive Xenolade Chronicles X Definitive Edition. Like I said, it is incredibly Edition. Like I said, it is incredibly Edition. Like I said, it is incredibly telling that Monoloft released Xenolade telling that Monoloft released Xenolade telling that Monoloft released Xenolade XDE when they did. They gave us plenty XDE when they did. They gave us plenty XDE when they did. They gave us plenty of time to sit with that game, played of time to sit with that game, played of time to sit with that game, played from beginning to end, and fully digest from beginning to end, and fully digest from beginning to end, and fully digest all the new story details in that brand all the new story details in that brand all the new story details in that brand new epilogue. Honestly, if you haven't new epilogue. Honestly, if you haven't new epilogue. Honestly, if you haven't completed the epilog yet, I'm going to completed the epilog yet, I'm going to completed the epilog yet, I'm going to say that you're behind. get caught up on say that you're behind. get caught up on say that you're behind. get caught up on it because that ending is exactly the it because that ending is exactly the it because that ending is exactly the launchpad for a massive amount of launchpad for a massive amount of launchpad for a massive amount of speculation surrounding Xenolade speculation surrounding Xenolade speculation surrounding Xenolade Genesis. The epilogue explicitly shows Genesis. The epilogue explicitly shows Genesis. The epilogue explicitly shows us the Rift Between Worlds. And when I us the Rift Between Worlds. And when I us the Rift Between Worlds. And when I look at that Genesis logo, the aesthetic look at that Genesis logo, the aesthetic look at that Genesis logo, the aesthetic matches perfectly the broken glass, the matches perfectly the broken glass, the matches perfectly the broken glass, the distinct cracking effect, the purple and distinct cracking effect, the purple and distinct cracking effect, the purple and rainbow color scheme, and that specific rainbow color scheme, and that specific rainbow color scheme, and that specific bluish purple hue. There is a clear bluish purple hue. There is a clear bluish purple hue. There is a clear visual thread potentially linking this visual thread potentially linking this visual thread potentially linking this game to both the rift and to the Aries.

game to both the rift and to the Aries. game to both the rift and to the Aries. All right, I'm going to round out the All right, I'm going to round out the All right, I'm going to round out the references section by talking about some references section by talking about some references section by talking about some references and callbacks I saw to references and callbacks I saw to references and callbacks I saw to Zenogearss. So, the snowy segment of the Zenogearss. So, the snowy segment of the Zenogearss. So, the snowy segment of the trailer is a non-stop barrage of trailer is a non-stop barrage of trailer is a non-stop barrage of Xenogars references. The massive vessel Xenogars references.

I'm calling it right in Genesis as well. I'm calling it right in Genesis as well. I'm calling it right now. And it could potentially lead us now. And it could potentially lead us now. And it could potentially lead us upwards into a hidden highly advanced upwards into a hidden highly advanced upwards into a hidden highly advanced utopian society floating in the sky utopian society floating in the sky utopian society floating in the sky similar to Shioat in Xenogearss. I did similar to Shioat in Xenogearss. I did similar to Shioat in Xenogearss. I did mention the church earlier in the video mention the church earlier in the video mention the church earlier in the video which is right at the foot of this which is right at the foot of this which is right at the foot of this massive tower of Babelesque structure massive tower of Babelesque structure massive tower of Babelesque structure and all the setup strongly mirrors the and all the setup strongly mirrors the and all the setup strongly mirrors the AOV region in Zenogearss.

Even this new party member, this boy Even this new party member, this boy Even this new party member, this boy riding the white dragon who has this gun riding the white dragon who has this gun riding the white dragon who has this gun on his back, reminds me of a character on his back, reminds me of a character on his back, reminds me of a character you meet during the Aavi arc in you meet during the Aavi arc in you meet during the Aavi arc in Xenogearss. Nearly every single Xeno Xenogearss. Nearly every single Xeno Xenogearss. Nearly every single Xeno game features a signature gunslinger game features a signature gunslinger game features a signature gunslinger archetype. Whether it's Minth in Torn of archetype.

And also, if a quite the coincidence. And also, if a quite the coincidence. And also, if a church exists in a JRPG, you can pretty church exists in a JRPG, you can pretty church exists in a JRPG, you can pretty much guarantee that they're definitely much guarantee that they're definitely much guarantee that they're definitely up to no good. All right, so to round up to no good. All right, so to round up to no good. All right, so to round everything out, I wanted to talk about everything out, I wanted to talk about everything out, I wanted to talk about the meaning of the title itself, the meaning of the title itself, the meaning of the title itself, Xenolade Genesis. This is a perfect Xenolade Genesis. This is a perfect Xenolade Genesis. This is a perfect opportunity for Monolafoft to reset the opportunity for Monolafoft to reset the opportunity for Monolafoft to reset the series under a universal subtitle, and series under a universal subtitle, and series under a universal subtitle, and they nailed it, like I mentioned in this they nailed it, like I mentioned in this they nailed it, like I mentioned in this video here. But Genesis explicitly video here. But Genesis explicitly video here. But Genesis explicitly signifies the beginning of something signifies the beginning of something signifies the beginning of something new, a fresh start, or the absolute

new, a fresh start, or the absolute new, a fresh start, or the absolute origin of a timeline. The burning origin of a timeline. The burning origin of a timeline. The burning question in my mind right now is, is question in my mind right now is, is question in my mind right now is, is this game actually Xenolade Zero? Now, this game actually Xenolade Zero? Now, this game actually Xenolade Zero? Now, if this truly is a prequel that takes if this truly is a prequel that takes if this truly is a prequel that takes place before Clouse, before the conduit, place before Clouse, before the conduit, place before Clouse, before the conduit, and before the Trinity processor, it and before the Trinity processor, it and before the Trinity processor, it raises a few massive questions. One in raises a few massive questions. One in raises a few massive questions. One in particular is how could this specific particular is how could this specific particular is how could this specific Eegis visual motif like the one we see Eegis visual motif like the one we see Eegis visual motif like the one we see on Eleanor's Animist yet? Well, one counterpoint could be yet? Well, one counterpoint could be that since Numa and Logos are artificial that since Numa and Logos are artificial that since Numa and Logos are artificial intelligence constructs designed to intelligence constructs designed to intelligence constructs designed to learn, adapt, and evolve by possessing learn, adapt, and evolve by possessing learn, adapt, and evolve by possessing the collective experiences of humanity the collective experiences of humanity the collective experiences of humanity within the Trinity processor. It's within the Trinity processor. It's within the Trinity processor. It's entirely possible that the look of the entirely possible that the look of the entirely possible that the look of the Aegis swords we see in Xenolade 2 might Aegis swords we see in Xenolade 2 might Aegis swords we see in Xenolade 2 might even be derived from the data within the even be derived from the data within the even be derived from the data within the Anima Cry stones and based on the events Anima Cry stones and based on the events Anima Cry stones and based on the events of Xenolade Genesis. The Xenolade Zero of Xenolade Genesis. The Xenolade Zero of Xenolade Genesis. The Xenolade Zero prequel theory could also explain the prequel theory could also explain the prequel theory could also explain the fantasy setting. Like I said, the fantasy setting. Like I said, the fantasy setting. Like I said, the characters with elf ears could possibly characters with elf ears could possibly characters with elf ears could possibly be a precursor race to the Samarians.

be a precursor race to the Samarians. be a precursor race to the Samarians. It's a total crackpot theory, I know, It's a total crackpot theory, I know, It's a total crackpot theory, I know, but a prequel setting would also explain but a prequel setting would also explain but a prequel setting would also explain why certain land masses in the trailer why certain land masses in the trailer why certain land masses in the trailer feature structural geography and feature structural geography and feature structural geography and landmarks that closely mirror the landmarks that closely mirror the landmarks that closely mirror the continents of Meera. Also, think about continents of Meera. Also, think about continents of Meera. Also, think about the offseing rituals shown in the the offseing rituals shown in the the offseing rituals shown in the trailers where characters are sending trailers where characters are sending trailers where characters are sending data or life energy that's flying data or life energy that's flying data or life energy that's flying straight up towards those six sons. What straight up towards those six sons. What straight up towards those six sons. What do the people above need all that data do the people above need all that data do the people above need all that data for? What is the animous kind of faction for? What is the animous kind of faction for? What is the animous kind of faction trying to extract or accumulate with all trying to extract or accumulate with all trying to extract or accumulate with all that energy from all the way up there? that energy from all the way up there? that energy from all the way up there? If we lean completely into the If we lean completely into the If we lean completely into the monumentally insane crackpot theories, monumentally insane crackpot theories, monumentally insane crackpot theories, this data collection could be leading this data collection could be leading this data collection could be leading towards the physical creation of towards the physical creation of towards the physical creation of something like maybe the conduit or at something like maybe the conduit or at something like maybe the conduit or at least a Zohar conduit equivalent. least a Zohar conduit equivalent. least a Zohar conduit equivalent. Personally, I don't know if I actually Personally, I don't know if I actually Personally, I don't know if I actually want a rigid, logical, confirmed want a rigid, logical, confirmed want a rigid, logical, confirmed explanation of how the conduit came to explanation of how the conduit came to explanation of how the conduit came to be because the sheer mysticism and be because the sheer mysticism and be because the sheer mysticism and cosmic mystery behind the conduit's cosmic mystery behind the conduit's cosmic mystery behind the conduit's existence is what makes it so existence is what makes it so existence is what makes it so fascinating. But it would be absolutely fascinating. But it would be absolutely fascinating. But it would be absolutely wild if there was a space station up wild if there was a space station up wild if there was a space station up there that is utilizing those suns to there that is utilizing those suns to there that is utilizing those suns to aggregate human data to construct a aggregate human data to construct a aggregate human data to construct a highly advanced conduit emulator much highly advanced conduit emulator much highly advanced conduit emulator much like we see in Zeno Saga which has like we see in Zeno Saga which has like we see in Zeno Saga which has something that I think are called Zohar something that I think are called Zohar something that I think are called Zohar emulators. The fact that the sky is emulators. The fact that the sky is emulators. The fact that the sky is specifically worn by six suns with five

specifically worn by six suns with five specifically worn by six suns with five of them appearing blue is also of them appearing blue is also of them appearing blue is also incredibly telling. The number six has a incredibly telling. The number six has a incredibly telling. The number six has a massive significance in this franchise, massive significance in this franchise, massive significance in this franchise, particularly regarding Aries and Ion, particularly regarding Aries and Ion, particularly regarding Aries and Ion, which both have six distinct cores with which both have six distinct cores with which both have six distinct cores with Aries cores being derived directly from Aries cores being derived directly from Aries cores being derived directly from the conduit in Void's universe. Maybe the conduit in Void's universe. Maybe the conduit in Void's universe. Maybe those aren't space stations up there at those aren't space stations up there at those aren't space stations up there at all, and they aren't even people up all, and they aren't even people up all, and they aren't even people up there. The physical body of this world there. The physical body of this world there. The physical body of this world might literally be a colossal mech. If might literally be a colossal mech. If might literally be a colossal mech. If those are six cores present, this entire those are six cores present, this entire those are six cores present, this entire planet could be a gigantic Aries planet could be a gigantic Aries planet could be a gigantic Aries equivalent. And those celestial bodies equivalent. And those celestial bodies equivalent. And those celestial bodies are its powerful [music] are its powerful [music] are its powerful [music] cores. It's all just loose spitballing cores. It's all just loose spitballing cores. It's all just loose spitballing right now. But those suns are definitely right now. But those suns are definitely right now. But those suns are definitely not standard suns. Everything about the not standard suns. Everything about the not standard suns. Everything about the title and fractured logo design and the title and fractured logo design and the title and fractured logo design and the world structure points possibly to world structure points possibly to world structure points possibly to Xenolade Genesis being a true prequel Xenolade Genesis being a true prequel Xenolade Genesis being a true prequel and potentially Xenolade Zero. And if and potentially Xenolade Zero. And if and potentially Xenolade Zero. And if Xenolade Genesis truly is Xenolade Zero, Xenolade Genesis truly is Xenolade Zero, Xenolade Genesis truly is Xenolade Zero, I'll leave you guys with this I'll leave you guys with this I'll leave you guys with this possibility.

possibility. possibility. What if that means that this is still What if that means that this is still What if that means that this is still not Xenolade 4 and Xenolade 4 is still not Xenolade 4 and Xenolade 4 is still not Xenolade 4 and Xenolade 4 is still on the horizon? There's not much in this on the horizon? There's not much in this on the horizon? There's not much in this trailer that makes me feel like this trailer that makes me feel like this trailer that makes me feel like this game takes place on the same planet that game takes place on the same planet that game takes place on the same planet that we saw combined together in Future we saw combined together in Future we saw combined together in Future Redeemed. I'm not saying that the Redeemed. I'm not saying that the Redeemed. I'm not saying that the Chronicles series is going to come back Chronicles series is going to come back Chronicles series is going to come back and continue with Xenolade Chronicles 4, and continue with Xenolade Chronicles 4, and continue with Xenolade Chronicles 4, but I'm also not fully convinced that but I'm also not fully convinced that but I'm also not fully convinced that this is the Xenolade 4 that we expected this is the Xenolade 4 that we expected this is the Xenolade 4 that we expected to see. But that's truly typical of to see. But that's truly typical of to see. But that's truly typical of Takashi and Monolith to surprise us like Takashi and Monolith to surprise us like Takashi and Monolith to surprise us like this with something that we did not know this with something that we did not know this with something that we did not know we actually wanted or even needed. So, we actually wanted or even needed. So, we actually wanted or even needed.

Do of this and of that in particular. Do you think that this is truly Xenolade you think that this is truly Xenolade you think that this is truly Xenolade Zero and Xenolade Genesis will continue Zero and Xenolade Genesis will continue Zero and Xenolade Genesis will continue with titles like Xenolade Genesis 2 and with titles like Xenolade Genesis 2 and with titles like Xenolade Genesis 2 and Xenolade Genesis 3? Or do you think the Xenolade Genesis 3? Or do you think the Xenolade Genesis 3? Or do you think the future games will be like Xenolade future games will be like Xenolade future games will be like Xenolade Exodus or further Bible chapters? And do Exodus or further Bible chapters?
