Xenoblade Chronicles Xnote  simply Xenoblade X in Japan is a Spin-Off of the Xenoblade Chronicles series, set in a Science Fiction-type Alternate Universe, which includes (but not limited to) Humongous Mecha, laser swords, aliens, intergalactic conflicts, and giant monsters. It is the second overall game in the series.In 2054, two alien fleets join in battle near Earth. The collateral damage devastates the planet's surface, and forces humanity to evacuate the planet before it is completely destroyed.Two years later, one of the surviving Colony Ships — the American White Whale, holding the city of New Los Angeles — is caught and attacked by one alien faction. The White Whale survives long enough to break apart over a hospitable planet: Mira, scattering important components, the cryonically-suspended crew, and the city itself across the planet's surface. Months later, your player-created character is found and brought to New Los Angeles where you join BLADE—NLA's defense force, dedicated to Builders of the Legacy After the Destruction of Earth. A few small complications arise shortly after landing, most notably the gigantic and bloodthirsty Miran wildlife capable of turning NLA into a pile of rubble. And it only gets worse for BLADE from there.With character designs by Kunihiko Tanaka (Xenogears and Xenosaga)note with this game being his final work as lead character designer for most of the Xeno meta series before leaving Monolith Soft, music by Hiroyuki Sawano (Kill la Kill and Attack on Titan), and directed by long-time series head Tetsuya Takahashi, Xenoblade Chronicles X is the (thematic) sequel to the cult Wii hit Xenoblade Chronicles 1, developed by Monolith Soft for Wii U and published by Nintendo, released in Japan on April 29th, 2015, and on America and Europe on December 4th, 2015.The universe of Xenoblade Chronicles X is part of the larger Xenoblade multiverse with Elma making an appearance as a recruitable Blade with an update for Xenoblade Chronicles 2.

Secret A.I. Moves: Subverted. You'll quickly notice most of your allies are listed as being "[class]+" with impossible weapon combinations, and even those that aren't have arts which you can't learn. However, mastering a class path allows you to use its weapons to mix and match, and unique arts can be learned from your allies through Affinity Missions.

Strictly Professional Relationship: Gwin joined BLADE because he nursed a crush on Irina, but his feelings are unrequited due to her bad history with men. So she only regards him and Marcus as valued subordinates at best. Which is good enough for Gwin.

Applied Phlebotinum: New Los Angeles is filled with a "shock-absorbing gel" found at the bottom of the city. Thanks to Captain Nagi's quick thinking when the city had to be jettisoned and fell into Mira's gravity well, they crystallized the gel, which allowed the city to survive the impact. Crystallized gel can be seen spiking out all over the exterior of the city.

Katanas Are Just Better
 Xenoblade Chronicles X (Video Game) / int_12a22bd8
comment
Katanas Are Just Better: The longswords are basically this in all but name and are widely regarded as the strongest weapon type in the game, due to having an extremely powerful damage-boosting aura in Offensive Stance, a multitude of special and powerful weapons dropped exclusively by specific tyrants and an absurdly strong tension art in Blossom Dance, which on top of possessing one of the highest damage multipliers in the game ignores the enemy's damage resistances, meaning everything is going to be feeling equal amounts of pain from it, even the superbosses. However, while acting like Katanas, they rarely ever look like them, and typically resemble broadswords. So they are definitely Playing With This Trope. Nagi's second Affinity Quest shows how much of a badass he really is with his signature katana in an awesome display of Cutscene Power to the Max. Various post-endgame tyrants drop Signature Weapons— legendary longswords that almost always look like a katana. There are no signature weapons for any other weapon type in the game. Ralzes (Grenada GG-made dual swords) resemble dual katanas.

comment
The entire reason that Justin took up the mantle of the Blood Lobster was to become one for Rook, but not because they bear Rook any ill will or grudge, no; it's because the Blood Lobster is a justice-obsessed freak who admires Rook and believes that s/he is the only one able to become his idealized version of a "true hero". When the Blood Lobster is cornered, Rook has the option to execute them for their actions, which is exactly what the Blood Lobster wants, or refuse to play the Lobster's game and spare them, which results in the Blood Lobster essentially self-inflicting a Fate Worse than Death.

The Artifact
 Xenoblade Chronicles X (Video Game) / int_13d7a65e
comment
When you add Elma to your party, she says that she's pleased to serve under your team until your next big assignment (namely, Story Missions, whereupon she becomes commanding officer again). Except, in any cutscene where she has a speaking role, Elma instantly becomes the leader. For example, there's L's, Celica's, and Gwin's first Affinity Missions, which amounts to the team just helping out those characters and not being on any type of assignment. It can become really noticeable, though, when Elma gets credit for a lot of things that you accomplished without her needing to be in the group whatsoever. For example, his Affinity Mission has Nagi state that he's been serving under Elma for some time. Except that, when you add him to the party, he says it was you he wanted to serve under. This is possibly an artifact from early production design, in which there was no Supporting Protagonist, and so the team leader and the Player Character were likely the same person.

Heroic Mime: Zigzagged. For the most part, your avatar is limited to calling their attack names and a few lines in battle, but doesn't speak during cutscenes. Instead, you'll occasionally be given a prompt, followed by 2 or more responses to choose from. Lampshaded by Commander Vandham, who says that "Chatty Cathy" isn't much for conversation.

comment
Darker and Edgier: The original had its moments, but X stops pulling punches after chapter 5. Uncautious or unlucky players can get an impressive number of named characters killed off during Side Quests. Not helping is the amount of named characters acting as major antagonists in side quests. Then there's Elma discovering that they're living in a Cosmic Horror Story in the ending, where all of the humans shouldn't exist and that Rook is some kind of Humanoid Abomination.

Early Game Hell
 Xenoblade Chronicles X (Video Game) / int_1527d90d
comment
Early Game Hell: Starting out is not an easy feat. The combat system can take some time to get used to, let alone learn the intricacies and hidden mechanics. Movement is fairly slow, which combined with the immense world means it takes a long time to get to places. The world is littered with enemies that you won't be able to have a fair fight against for hours, and you'll be sneaking around a lot of them. Getting killed while trying to explore uncharted territory before finding a node or landmark and losing all that progress is an all-too-real possibility. Weapon choices are relatively limited, and aside from a few Arts, you won't have other elemental types besides Physical. Decent healing skills are also very hard to come by. Levelling up, expanding your influence, and obtaining the Skell and its flight abilities makes life much easier on Mira.

The War Has Just Begun: The endings invokes this, as the Ganglion are defeated, the Lifehold Core is secure, and survey of Mira to make it safe for human habitation is underway. However, there are many questions left unanswered, many dangers still looming, and the Ganglion were ultimately only a tiny part of the larger Samaar Federation, whose interests and role is still unknown. That's not even counting the Ghosts. In short, the entire game was basically you playing Paul Revere, and the real war hasn't even started yet.

Predator Pastiche: The Prone are a large, imposing Proud Warrior Race that judge everything (including allies) by martial superiority. There are two warring clans (the Tree Clan and Cavern Clan), which have been at odds for centuries; the Tree Clan is willing to work alongside humanity against their greater foe, while the Cavern Clan are almost all hostile upon sight. Even their faces have some resemblance to Predators, with wide, mandible-like mouths.

comment
No Biochemical Barriers: Discussed. When the party first encounters Tatsu, one of the first things Lin does is scan him for pathogens before letting him into New LA. The same is also applied to every other species that is allowed to immigrate. An initially-xenophobic store owner tries to use this as an excuse for keeping Ma-Non out, but it's pointed out to her that every species is scanned for pathogens. The Zaruboggan race averts this by not being oxygen-breathers and feeding on pollutants.

The Marnucks are essentially Tolkien orcs, aside from their blue skin, being reptilian, preference for guns, and having invented their own military technology. What little we know about them is that they don't just love war; their chief deity is their god of death, and they think killing people in battle is an honorable act. Their homeworld was destroyed by a global civil war, and the only ones left are the ones that sided with the Ganglion.

The core lesson behind almost every side mission. People are fragile, flawed, weak, or straight-up bastards on their own, but learning to rely upon and help each other makes everyone stronger and capable of doing anything. Elma flat out states this as her Kirk Summation several times.

Sorting Algorithm of Threatening Geography: The game gives you free reign to travel where you want to from the get-go, but the game's story campaign explores each of the planet Mira's regions in order, starting with the idyllic plains and lakes of Primordia, followed by the thick and toxic rainforests of Noctulum. Next is the desertous Oblivia, then the mysterious and alien Sylvalum, and finally, the volcanic mountains of Cauldros.

Exponential Potential: While at first your arts and weapons are limited by the class you're currently in, any class can use the arts of any other class that you've mastered alongside 2-5 of your known skills, meaning that eventually you'll be able to mix-and-match nearly every art and skill in the game. Want to stack two health increasers on the Squishy Wizard class? Easily done! And when you master all the classes in a particular branch of the class tree, you can also equip the class-specific weapons in any other class, allowing for hundreds of potential configurations (216 counting just weapons x master classes).

Thomas won't be satisfied with the honey smoke bomb and Nelly won't be too happy with the cooking pot, but they won't mind getting the other two items. For Child of Mira, sending Orleron to see humans instead of his own kind, the Zaruboggan, for help, makes the mission slightly easier in the end (sending him to the humans only requires escorting him somewhere while sending him to the Zaruboggan requires a material from a particularly nasty enemy).

Dead All Along: Technically the entire human race. For an unknown reason, the Mimeosomes that were created to carry their consciousnesses are alive on their own and have fundamentally replaced the original human for good. Unknown on Lao's fate on the ending.

The Cameo: The Bionis and Mechonis from the previous game appear on a figurine, and one of the male Avatar voice options in both English and Japanese is Shulk, along with Fiora (English) and Shion, Melia and KOS-MOS (Japanese) for females. The Japan-DLC characters all make an appearance when the team goes to fight at the Lifehold Core. Yelv is also shown providing backup for Elma in The Stinger.

Mutually Exclusive Party Members
 Xenoblade Chronicles X (Video Game) / int_1b8f9f2b
comment
Mutually Exclusive Party Members: Phog and Frye Christoph are brothers who are opposites in every way and had a major falling-out over a past tragedy. You recruit Phog first, but Frye's recruitment mission requires Phog to be recruited but not in your active party. Afterwards, both of them will refuse to join your party if the other is present. Until they resolve their differences in the "Blitzkreig" mission (unlocked after raising your Relationship Values with both of them to a certain level), you can't have both in your party at the same time. Different examples can be found regarding Celica and Mia; these two characters become recruitable only after the point where Lao becomes permanently unavailable as a party member.

Match Maker Quest

Match Maker Quest: There are a few twists to the formula. One of the first is a compulsory quest to help the subordinate of a team member, that involves getting a favor from an alien craftsman that comes with a steep price; 10 pizzas. Doesn't seem like much until the shop owner charges you 10,000 credits for them. Another has gotten the girl with little issue already, but needs your help convincing her Proud Warrior Race father. But the third is the doozy; The questgiver is actually asking for help on behalf of a friend of hers. Like in its predecessor, it ends in failure. But mostly because the client decides she'd rather get with the player instead... then the questgiver gets jealous and decides she likes you too!

Adam and Eve Plot: The Orphe are reduced to a mere five individuals by the time humanity rescues them from the Ganglion. Fortunately, due to Orphe reproducing via "fission" rather than sex, there isn't any danger of inbreeding. Unfortunately, they require a specific chemical (senirapa water) to use as a catalyst for their reproduction, and they only have a few cups of it left. Once they find a way to produce more, their population grows extremely rapidly.

Stripperiffic: Risque indeed in many occasions, especially the alien gear. Then again, aliens do not follow human decency standards, so it doesn't matter. And for the playable characters (mainly females), the equipment shop follows under this once you unlock them late in the game, including Elma's alien suit she wears in the "ending". Yes, you can battle with a playboy bunny suit, the bunny bikini, or even ones that don't show much on the lower regions. How everyone manages to take a ton of damage without losing clothes remains a mystery.

Failed a Spot Check: During Nagi's first Affinity Mission, Vandham comes to Elma's team with an assignment. He doesn't notice that Nagi is part of said team until after he speaks. None of the BLADEs that have visited Cauldros noticed the massive citadel and ruins that serve as the main base of the Ganglion's forces until Ga Jiarg specifically tells them that's where the Ganglion are located. It could be argued that since Cauldros is a continent, they simply never explored any place nearby. Except during one mission, a member of Corwin's team specifically asks for directions by giving his position relative to where the Citadel is and the base camps also mention them. It could also be argued that they noticed the ruins, but not that it was the Ganglion headquarters, except that it also serves as the place from which all of their massive ships and mobile bases dock and launch from and base campers flat out tell you as much.

Last Lousy Point: It's inevitable in a game this massive: whether it's collectibles, items, indigens, or stuffed lobsters, there'll always be that one thing that just won't be found. The nasty part about the Enemy List is that it doesn't log how many total of each species there are, and there are several species that only show up in certain weather conditions (like Frenzied Coronids during a Red Aurora).

Palette Swap: Nearly all the different indigen species have a counterpart that looks and acts very similar to them. For example, Liceors are swaps of Saltats, Caros are swaps of Grexes, Viragoes are swaps of Vigents, and Jaculs are swaps of Auravis. Usually, the two species live on different continents (Liceors are only found in Sylvalum, for example, while Saltats are everywhere else), but there is some occasional cross-over.

Mythology Gag
 Xenoblade Chronicles X (Video Game) / int_26ac510e
comment
Mythology Gag: As per use in Monolith Soft. There are a few inside the character creator alone: Several default faces are reproductions of popular characters from previous games of the metaseries, specially Xenogears. One of the face paint options is the red X from the Xenogears logo. In the English dub, there's a "Classic" voice option for the main character in each gender. The voice actors are Adam Howden and Carina Reeves respectively, who voiced Shulk and Fiora, the male and female leads in Xenoblade Chronicles 1. Lin's Monado hairclips. In the affinity mission "The Ties That Bind", when Tatsu returns home, his brothers and sisters mistake him for their father. Lin calls out Tatsu as a "middle-aged deadbeat", something that could describe Riki. Lin also wonders if the Nopon live in trees, a call back to Frontier Village from the original Xenoblade Chronicles 1. At one point, Lin and Elma call Commander Vandham "Colonel Square-tache", something Reyn called Vangarre in the original game. In the Japanese version, the two share the same name. In Chapter 10, Tatsu claims the Zu Pharg is even bigger than the "legendary" Frontier Village. Choosing the right dialogue in Chapter 12 may lead to Tatsu calling his friends "hom homs", what the Nopon called the Homs in the original game. Gwin asks him what those are, and Tatsu doesn't have a clue. He then looks at the camera and smiles. In both Xenoblade games, there is a boss battle near the end of the game against a close ally who was Evil All Along who is the last major boss before the finale. However, unlike the guy in Xenoblade, Lao makes a Heel–Face Turn. The quote "Not Like This" at the end of Chapter 11 is a reference back to the original Xenoblade. Both involve traitorous events and giant mechs. Mumkhar says it after being stabbed by a giant stalagmite. Lin, defending Lao, shouts it to avoid Elma from shooting him. Said event in X is a lot like the end of the second fight with Jade Face/Gadolt, where a talented sniper is forcefully ejected from his mech. There is the mention of Ether, this time as a damage element independent of weapon class, determined instead by a certain weapon manufacturer. The Blast Fencer and Galactic Knight classes contain a few to the original Xenoblade, such as an attack that resembles the Monado Buster, as well as a skill that deals extra damage to mechanoid enemies. One of the Full Metal Jaguar's arts shares its name with Shulk's "Stream Edge"note though the attack itself bears no resemblance to it. Two of Doug's arts also taken from Shulk: "Phenomenon" looks similar to Shulk's version of Stream Edge and Galactic Cataclysm is the same as Monado Buster. Shield Gunners act as tanks and use taunts to aggro the enemy. They also learn Reyn's "Wild Down". Melia's Starlight Kick also returns as a Galactic Knight skill. Funnily enough, though, despite the Melia-and-Shulk reference attacks, the weapon choice for Blast Fencer/Galactic Knight? Attack drones and a beam saber - exactly the weapon loadout for Fiora. By the same token, one of Nagi's unique arts is "Blossom Dance", which was Dunban's signature move in Xenoblade. One of the arts for the Commando is Shulk's Back Slash and one of the arts for the Drifter is Shulk's Slit Edge. The quantum computer running the Lifehold greatly resembles Zohar from Xenogears and Xenosaga both in shape and overall appearance, and the capsule where Elma's real body is stored in is also greatly remiscient of the one KOS-MOS is kept in when she's offline or undergoing maintenance, which is fitting considering she's essentially a biological alien Expy of her. In the English dub, Celica has an British accent and pronounces Nopon the same way it was pronounced in the original Xenoblade Chronicles (everyone else, including the Nopon, pronounced it differently), both of which call back to how Xenoblade was dubbed. One of the collectibles is a pair of statues depicting the Bionis and Mechonis. One of the collectibles is the Gem crafting furnace from the first game. Its description makes a joke about how there aren't any ether crystals or cylinders in this game. The Sword of Legendaryness sought after by a pair of Nopon is (a Nopon-made replica of) the Monado. Mia nicknaming Rook as "Chief" is similar to Allen who also always refer to Shion Uzuki as "Chief". In the Predator and Prey quest two BLADE members gets ripped apart by the Prone and their body parts are used◊ as weapons◊ which is similar to the Soylent System. Irina and Gwin always referring to Elma as "Colonel" is similar to how Captain Jin Uzuki always calls Commander Margulis "Colonel". The song NO.EX01's German lyrics is a nod to the Xenosaga titles. The Telethia return from Xenoblade, though play a completely different role in this game. Galactic Cataclysm's attack animation is nearly identical to Monado Buster. Side Slash's animation is quite similar to Double Wind. Numerous items from Xenoblade drop off enemies, such as the Cloudy Eyeball from certain Diluses or the Bloodied Face from Qmoevas.

Puny Earthlings: It appears that humanity is very far south of the average tech level of the universe. All life on Earth is wiped out as a side effect of a battle in orbit between two warring alien powers (though we later learn that at least a portion of one side of the conflict was deliberately targeting Earth). Humanity only survived by a rushed evacuation of the homeworld into unknown space, and even the technology to do that was gifted by a friendly alien... on their own, humans would have been screwed. The leaders of humanity are later dismayed to find out that the multi-species alien army that very nearly caused humanity's extinction is considered nothing more than a minor crime syndicate by the ruling governments of local space (which, incidentally, encompasses multiple galaxies).

While some of the stuff they skip over isn't needed to beat the main game (changing Soul Voices, how to control characters other than Rook, etc.), it also skims over things like how to increase survey percentages (each hex has a specific objective that increases the survey percentage; doing other stuff in that hex won't get you any points) and how to switch out your party members (you have to go to their locations in NLA and talk to them to add them to your party). The game also clearly indicates the elemental properties of attacks and armour, but doesn't clearly indicate which elements enemies are weak/resistant to. Unless you read the manual which should make the gameplay easier to understand.

 Xenoblade Chronicles X (Video Game) / int_28564218
comment
Humans Are Diplomats: The game has the forging of new alliances between humans and various xenos forming a major part of the story and quests. Humans do this primarily on account of having recently fled a destroyed Earth and having run into the Ganglion, the evil coalition responsible for said destruction, on Mira; they desperately need all the allies they can get. It also helps that many of these new allies were former members of the Ganglion who changed sides because the humans were much nicer.

Trial-and-Error Gameplay: There are several missions in which picking the wrong dialogue choice results in an innocent NPC's death. At least three of these missions require you to overhear information from somebody in the massive New Los Angeles or the many BLADE camps scattered across Mira in order to even be able to make a life-saving choice; one of them requires you to have obtained a certain rare collectible on top of that. Two other missions require you to be able to know the geography of a region and the attacks of a specific enemy type, respectively, from memory.

"Wir Fliegen", the song that plays when you activate Overdrive has a 2nd verse after the chorus before looping, and on the same track there's a version that uses more rock instruments for the second half. However, both of these are missing from the game, especially considering that Black Tar has the second half in place while fighting in Skells.

Artifact Title: Averted in that while the Monado from the first game is absent in this one, the title still has meaning due to the military organization the Player Character joins being called "BLADE" and the various aliens are occasionally called "xenos". Some of the xenos have even joined BLADE, technically making them Xeno-BLADEs, however, all but a couple of them are very minor characters. Then again, Elma is a major character and she fits the term fine as she is a "xeno" and a BLADE member.

The Skell version of these are Skell Superweapons: with the exception of a single one you get as an affinity quest reward, you need a large number of materials to make them and the blueprints for level 60 versions of them are only gotten from finishing affinity quests. Although some of these superweapons tend to border on, or are just flat-out Awesome, but Impractical.

Going Cosmic: The majority of the game is normal Space Opera fare in a Standard Sci Fi Setting where humanity is fleeing the destruction of Earth and trying to colonize a new world. It briefly gets thrown for a loop when the humans are all revealed to be using robot bodies being controlled by their real bodies which are in stasis in their missing mothership, but gets back on track quickly enough. But then the final chapter reveals that there are no human bodies because everyone's minds have been copied into a quantum computer which is the real source of the robot bodies' control, and goes into a heavy debate on the nature of The Singularity and what it means to be human if you can just copy-and-paste yourself into a new body whenever you feel like it. As if that wasn't enough, The Stinger then takes things up a notch when the computer containing everyone's minds was actually destroyed since the beginning of the game, raising even bigger questions on how everyone can even still be existing.

Autobots, Rock Out!: Going up against any of the Tyrants is a tall order. So they're highlighted by the accompaniment of "Uncontrollable", instead of the game's usual battle theme. It becomes a near literal example, once you're outfitted with a full party of Skells to take them on.

Gender Bender: A subquest, once completed, will allow the player to change their character's design almost at will (it's at a single location that can only be done late at night. The nearest waiting area is a good distance away, but fortunately that distance is mostly straight up, and you can quick-travel to the location anyway), even voice and gender. This is explicitly mentioned as an option in-story, though when you do it, everybody acts as though you had always been that way.

comment
We Help the Helpless: BLADE's primary mission is to recover the Lifehold core, but they're generally designed to be able to respond to anything and everything that the citizens of New Los Angeles need. From fighting off dangerous Indigens and hostile Xenoforms, Scouting the planet and installing Data Probes, solving domestic disputes, finding lost pets, and anything else under Mira's five moons. Granted, BLADE IS divided into divisions that supposedly specialize in more specific fields but any BLADE, regardless of division, can accept any job if they feel they can handle it. So it's not uncommon for, say, a Harrier to provide marriage counseling, or an Outfitter to gun down a rampaging Millisaur if they need to. This is justified in universe, as humanity has only been living on the planet for a couple of months prior to the game's start, and they know next to nothing about it. Such flexibility is ideal in a situation where anything can happen.

Hostile Weather
 Xenoblade Chronicles X (Video Game) / int_2ddddebf
comment
Hostile Weather: Electromagnetic storms can break out in Oblivia. Like other environmental hazards, it deals damage to your party, but it has the benefit of reducing mechanoids' detection ranges. It covers a sizable chunk of the whole continent, and only getting to a relatively enclosed place will stop the damage. Cauldros has electromagnetic storms as well, albeit much more rarely than Oblivia. The real problem in Cauldros is the brimstone rain, aka raining chunks of fiery rock, which deals heavy damage to anyone not in a Skell or under some sort of hard cover. Sylvalum has the spore clouds weather. Every so often, the fungus that seems to cover most of the continent releases huge amounts of spores. While they aren't harmful themselves, they reduce visibility to almost zero. This makes it nigh-impossible to tell where you're going, and practically guarantees that you'll walk right into one of the super-powerful enemies wandering around. Worse, there's a Tyrant that will only spawn in this particular weather.

Gratuitous English: Like in Xenoblade Chronicles, occasionally prompts to hit the B button will appear; hitting the button in time offers various subtle rewards. There are two levels of success; hitting the inner circle (hitting the button a little late, but still in time to be successful) will tell you that you've "Succeeded". Hitting the outer circle (precisely when hitting the button would no longer be considered "too soon"), however, will tell you that you've "Huge Succeeded". (Un)fortunately, this turned out to have been beta text, as later videos have shown that it's been changed to "Good" and "Perfect," respectively.

Piñata Enemy: Aquatic Visgels are a common source of farming Ultra Diamond/Nebulan weapons due to them being level 66-67, the minimum level to drop items of that quality consistently, as well as being weak enemies. Just be careful about the sleeping level 97 Yggralith right next to them. Joker, the Unknowable is level 90, but is a very common enemy to defeat for levelling up BLADE Scouts and obtaining Ultra Diamond/Nebulan weapons because, being a Blatta, it has relatively low health and attack power. It can be tough for lesser-prepared players because of its ridiculously high Evasion, though. The nearby Squall Blattas, which appear in huge numbers, also contribute to the grinding effort.

Beef Gate: Many land bridges in northern and western Primordia have a mid-30s Grex waiting right in the center of them, to deter players from reaching certain probe sites. You'll also find high-level enemies blocking narrow passages in other parts of the world, but there are usually ways to get around them since many have a relatively small aggro radius. Trueno, The Cataclysm, is a level 60 Filiavent tyrant in Cauldros who is standing on top of a teleport pad that leads to a treasure. You have to kill him for the pad to activate. Lambert, The Divine Wind, is a level 15 Insidia tyrant that blocks the land bridge in Noctilum leading to Chapter 4's finale. There's no way to get around him and you'll have to fight him to get through. (Alternatively you can sprint through as the cut scene activating will stop the battle.) The only safe passage into eastern Cauldros by land before Skells give immunity to the lava is the Adder Byroad, a long, narrow path full of huge numbers of aggressive level 40+ enemies.

Humans Are Survivors: Humanity is forced to flee into the stars after Earth is destroyed in the crossfire between two warring alien races.

In spite of their circumstances, humanity continues to survive, building a colony the size of a small city and settling into their new niche in space.

Suddenly-Harmful Harmless Object: There are lots of monsters like this in the game: They tend to be completely indistinguishable from the bits of scenery they're disguising themselves as, and can't be targeted directly until they've revealed themselves, nor do they show on your radar. This can occasionally lead to you getting into a bigger fight then intended if an area effect attack happens to hit some hidden monsters accidentally. While they don't disguise themselves, some of the robots and mechs utilized by Ganglion can be encountered in an inactive, untargetable state, only for them to suddenly spring to life and attack when approached. One will quickly learn that just because it looks broken doesn't mean that it necessarily is...

Starfish Aliens
 Xenoblade Chronicles X (Video Game) / int_31c5e7fb
comment
Starfish Aliens: The Orpheans (or the Orphe as they call themselves) are an insectoid race that are not only very logistical by human standards, they are connected to what appears to be a divine Hive Mind which is actually a symbiotic virus called the Ovah. In addition to initially having no concept of gender, they reproduce by using Senirapa water to split themselves into two Orpheans (or create two new Orpheans if the Orphean receiving the water is on the brink of death), with the new one already at adulthood and inheriting their parent's memories. It gets to the point that after replicating the water, the race goes from a mere five members on Mira (there were two others, but one's a traitor that stuck with the Ganglion coalition and the other got eaten by Visigels, thus spreading the Ovah to non-Orpheans) to making up a noticeable chunk of New LA's xeno population. Eventually, enough contact with humanity results in one Orphean spontaneously fissioning into a "female" gendered Orphean. The Zaruboggans can only survive in environments that other species would consider toxic and polluted, and in addition to wearing hazmat suits all the time, they carry around gorkwa staffs to filter out voltant material from polluted areas. Also similar to the Orpheans, they have No Biological Sex (or concept of gender) despite being referred to with masculine pronouns and reproduce by regurgitating their offspring, which are born from the voltant they were consuming. The Milsaadi, a race of assassins allied with the Ganglion, are silicon-based, to the point of looking almost like robots in robes. They also have the ability to shut off their ability to feel pain rather than Feel No Pain altogether.

Arch-Enemy: Several quest chains have these: Alex and Eliza, the former of whom is a murderous xenophobic bigot calling other bigots to his cause so that they can eliminate all of the aliens in NLA. Eliza does everything she can to stop him, recruiting Rook to help. Corwin and the Black Skell. After it almost kills a young member of his team, Corwin sends out teams to try and eliminate it—most of which don't come back. Depending on the choices Rook makes, the entire unit can get wiped out. In a lesser sense, Rook him/herself can make a business archenemy in Tobias, if s/he does a good job installing probes. Tobias complains that Rook is installing probes for free, rather than doing it for profit like he did, and will repeatedly challenge Rook to see who can become wealthiest using the system. The entire reason that Justin took up the mantle of the Blood Lobster was to become one for Rook, but not because they bear Rook any ill will or grudge, no; it's because the Blood Lobster is a justice-obsessed freak who admires Rook and believes that s/he is the only one able to become his idealized version of a "true hero". When the Blood Lobster is cornered, Rook has the option to execute them for their actions, which is exactly what the Blood Lobster wants, or refuse to play the Lobster's game and spare them, which results in the Blood Lobster essentially self-inflicting a Fate Worse than Death.

Out of Focus: Any character who is not required for the current story/affinity mission is visible in cutscenes, but will not interject or have their presence acknowledged.

Not Worth Killing: Some of the Indigens ignore you depending on whether you're in a Skell or not. The medium sized enemies think of humans as lunch, but a giant armored robot would be too difficult to fight to bother with; the large enemies barely notice humans at all, but see the Skells as a threat. Murderess learns that the serial killer who killed her parents on Earth somehow managed to get onto the White Whale, and has killed some of her friends in NLA since then. Knowing full well that she'd be throwing away everything she's worked so hard to obtain up to this point if she took her revenge and killed the guy, she decides to just walk away and lets him get eaten by a Caro instead. Can be invoked with The Blood Lobster, resulting in a Villainous Breakdown instead.

Game-Breaking Bug: The game has a high chance of softlocking by making the cancel/confirm buttons unresponsive if you use the filter function when viewing affinity charts after recruiting H.B. In the affinity mission Bff's, If you go to the Oblivia caravan before the Noctilum one, the trigger after the cutscene to find Tatsu's mom never plays. This is especially devastating when you realize that this is an affinity mission, meaning you can't cancel it. Hoped you didn't save the mission when you had it active!

Bonus Dungeon: The game has several optional caves and Ganglion outposts, but the most prominent two are the Ganglion Anthropolis and the Divine Roost. The former is only available after starting the mission "Definian Downfall", which in turn requires the completion of a large amount of previous missions. It's rife with many powerful enemies whose level swing between 55 and 65, and is home to powerful opponents like Urdu (accompained by several Milsaadi followers), a Level 85 Ganglion Skell, Rexoskell and Blood Despair. The latter is only accessible via flying skells and has three powerful tyrants and quite a few level 60+ enemies including Telethia the Endbringer, which is level 99 and the ultimate Superboss in the game.

Gratuitous German: Wir Fliegen, literally meaning "We Fly" in English, have lyrics that are completely in German, in a Japanese game that usually uses songs in Engrish. Possibly a quirk of the composer, who also had lots of Gratuitous German in his Attack on Titan work.

Lethal Joke Character: Drifter!Rook is a Jack of All Stats at best, Master of None at worst, and only really has the extra passive slots to go for them. Master the class lines for whatever weapon combo you want and a variety of skills, however, and you can turn it into The Ace when it comes to Rook's classes.

Sequential Boss: The final boss is four different fights in a row. First you fight the Vita, piloted by Luxaar. Then Luxaar transforms the Vita into a more powerful form. Then a lengthy cutscene ensues, after which you fight a swarm of grotesque chimeras. After another cutscene, the chimeras merge with Luxaar and Lao to form the actual final boss.

Awful Truth
 Xenoblade Chronicles X (Video Game) / int_363f94c9
comment
Awful Truth: Rook turning out to be an android and not completely human. It's also a Call-Back to the original ''Xenoblade Chronicles 1' as the main protagonist, Shulk, turned out to be a re-animated corpse and not a normal Homs. However, this is subverted in that while it's a surprise to Rook, it isn't to every other human in NLA since they already know they're all android avatars controlled by their in-stasis bodies, and Rook seems to get over this pretty quickly. The Earth's rich, powerful and connected used their influence to put themselves on the Arcs at the expense of the less fortunate. Learning that his wife and daughter died so their place on the Lifehold could go to some trust fund kids is what drove Lao over the edge. When Team Elma finally reaches the Lifehold Core, the rest of the team sans Elma learn that there were never really any human bodies on board the White Whale and they all died with Earth. This is then downplayed when it's explained that their consciousnesses are stored inside a supercomputer (from where they control the mimeosomes) and they can make new human bodies from the protoplasmic fluid and the genetic data stored in the core, but it is hardly less unsettling to the team since it brings up the question of whether they're still really human if they can just make a new body they weren't born with.

Antagonist Abilities: Early on, Elma warns you that a Tyrant's level means nothing. Many Tyrants are not significantly strong in terms of offense or defense, but possess some sort of ability that makes fighting them difficult, such as reflecting certain attack attributes (Agnes, the Divine-Scaled), dealing spike damage (Xair, the Cerulean Walker), or having 100 resistance to a certain attribute (Vendura's Galdr). Then there are the superbosses, which have access to attacks and abilities that normal members of their species lack.

Gerrids look like an oversized flea with a nautilus's shell, except the shell is bright red or green, and the tentacles are more insectoid, and they have long, spindly legs. They also generate electricity and have a habit of jumping around and happily flailing about on the ground. And according to the Enemy Index, the males incubate eggs inside themselves.

Sequel Escalation
 Xenoblade Chronicles X (Video Game) / int_391d6577
comment
Sequel Escalation: Well, more of a thematic sequel escalation, but still... The last game's world was already about the size of Japan, but since the Skells are five times bigger than the characters, this game's world is five times bigger than the previous game's. Just how expansive is this game? At one point, Monolith was worried one disc wouldn't be enough. While they did fit the final release on one disc, the thing is so jam-packed that optional data packs were released on the eShop to help decrease loading times. To put that in perspective, a YouTuber named Griffon Li Britannia posted a video showing the elapsed time it took to sprint from the outermost edge of Oblivia, to Noctilum's outermost edge was 31 minutes. And that was travelling in a straight line, while ignoring both the northern continents and the islands, out in the ocean!

Refuse to Rescue the Disliked: There's an NPC named Gus who attacks you during a mission. Later in the mission, he's seen being chased by a Petramand (a giant crab spider hybrid creature) and is asking for help. You can refuse to help him. This is ultimately the better choice, as it was all a ploy by Gus (again) and he screws you over if you rescue him.

Aliens Are Bastards: The humans didn't want any part of the alien war, but that didn't stop the combatants from shooting most of them down as the humans tried to escape Earth. At least the Ganglion have a reason to attack humans since they are descendants of a mysterious race known as the Samaarians whom created the Ganglion and humans contain the failsafe in their DNA to stop the Ganglion. The Ganglion's opposing faction that shot down the White Whale, the Ghost? No reason given.

Crapsaccharine World: Compared to its predecessor, the game is a bit more overt about the crapsack nature of the world. Sure, Mira is full of gorgeous views, but Earth has been destroyed, humanity is on the brink of extinction on a planet filled with hostile monsters, and some of the same aliens who destroyed the earth in the first place have come to finish the job. It's most noticeable with the citizens of New Los Angeles: when you first arrive, everyone seems friendly, cooperative, hopeful, and disagreements are minor. It's only later in the game that the ugliness of humanity begins to come out, as you encounter humans engaged in "ethnic cleansing", murder, terrorism, and even human trafficking.

Humans Are Bastards
 Xenoblade Chronicles X (Video Game) / int_3d4d3dc9
comment
Humans Are Bastards: One might think that humanity's dire circumstances might've promoted greater unity among them, but deception, backstabbing, and other shady business is still commonplace, both among the civilians and BLADE members. Some of them also prove to be less then accepting of their alien visitors...sometimes to a deadly degree. The quest to help Professor B, a friendly alien in the Industrial Sector, is a simple fetch quest to help further his research. Upon finding the item, you're ambushed by four BLADE members, led by Gadd, who don't want you to help him out, and they're ready to kill you to see it through. They attack you, and you have no choice but to kill them. You're forced to cross swords with Gadd again when Professor B reappears on Mira in the Oblivia Region and sends a distress call. Fraisie at the Chapel tries to exploit the Ma-Non into following her religion. See the Snake Oil Salesman entry below. One human noticed how the Ma-Non were having trouble adapting to New LA and wanted to hold a seminar teaching them some basics of humanity, but talking to him reveals it has nothing to do with concern for the Ma-Non and is fueled by his own frustration with them. In the end, the "seminar" is really a plot to round them up and kill everyone, which the player interrupts. Unfortunately, he's not alone in his opinion. A good bit of Lao's entire shtick as a villain stems from his view that humans are bastards to each other. Not only is he furious that his family was denied a place on the Whale, but he's certain it was due to their socio-economic status and stops exactly short of outright accusing the NLA leadership of full-blown racism in its selection process. He even goes so far as to warn Lin that "people like us" are only treated as valuable so long as they're seen as useful, which is about as subtle as a brick to the head. Business for Army Pizza had been lukewarm since NLA was forced to land on Mira but all that suddenly changed when the Ma-non took up residence and began buying Pizzas non-stop. The sudden spike in patronage led to a meteoric rise in success for Army Pizza but the demand gradually proved to be too much in the short-run. Human customers for Army Pizza felt themselves driven away by the Ma-non. And Powell's wife commits suicide which drives him insane with Xenophobic sentiment, turning him into a serial killer who blames the Ma-non for her death, even though all they ever did was buy Pizzas.

comment
Chapter 9's battle against the Wrothians will let you know that you can't just cheese your way through every human-sized opponent with Skells since the game won't let you use them in the first half and remind you to continue keeping your ground builds up to date. The fact that you're dealing with six powerful enemies at once means that you have to be able to handle their weaknesses, use Overdrive effectively, ensure that your teammates are of a sufficient level and not just yourself, and equip your team with the best items and weapons you can just to survive. The second half, which throws a huge amount of Skells at you, may tell you that the dinky level 20 Skell you started with won't cut it when you have to go through six powered-up Skells, as its low defenses and HP simply can't handle the punishment your enemies throw at it.

We Win, Because You Didn't: Elma takes this approach after the Ganglion's assault on NLA, which also results in them stealing the mysterious super-mech the player recovered a few chapters earlier. Ryyz tries to claim that this was a Ganglion victory because they stole the mech, but Elma, intent on wounding Ryyz's pride, declares that so long as the human city of NLA is standing, regardless of how much damage it took, then it's the Ganglion's loss. Since they couldn't destroy the city completely, humanity wins. Ryyz is reduced to barely coherent rage at this.

Magikarp Power: A minor example: the starting class, Drifter, has barely any Arts of its own and can't use any notable weapons but it's the only class that has 5 passive skill slots. Since you can use a class' weapons in any other class once you master its most advanced form and what Arts you can use is determined by the type of weapon you're equipped with, you'll ultimately switch to Drifter permanently to make use of its 5 skill slots once you master every other class since at that point you have no limitations on what types of weapons you can use.

Player Headquarters: The BLADE Barracks inhabited by the player character, Elma, and Lin, where you can customize the decorations, fine-tune your Skells, go on quests with other players, and start the main story quests.

You can later find it in its native habitat, and can attack it anyway if you want the fight of your life. There's also the Nemesisnote multiplayer co-op boss Telethia Plume, which is just considered a very threatening indigen that shows up every now and then.

Optional Party Member: Just under half of your possible party members in the game are completely optional. This makes sense, as they're simply fellow BLADEs, and "recruiting" them just involves doing an assignment together, after which they're impressed enough to offer you backup in the future. One of them, Mia, requires doing some out-of-the-way sidequests and is potentially the very last recruitable character in the game (at earliest, you must not only complete her standard sidequests but also one that is in turn locked behind a complex branch of other sidequests, and ultimately this can only be achieved once you've completed the penultimate chapter in the game).

comment
Broken Aesop: Early in the game Elma lectures the team about the differences between self-defense and being bloodthirsty when it comes to dealing with indigens. However, gameplay-wise, killing many or significant indigens doesn't impact the environment in the long run (they just spawn again upon returning to the zone) and during quests, trying to deal with indigens peacefully almost never ends well. Suffice to say, there's no moral ramifications for mass-murdering indigens. An early Affinity Mission has Irina help a couple of possibly misogynistic and definitely Jerkass BLADEs, stating that humanity's future depends on everyone's efforts, even that of the dirtbags. This lesson come crashing down in flames when it comes to people like Gadd, Alex, Fraise, and Gus.

Zip Mode: The game features landmarks across the world to Fast Travel to, to the point where nearly half the hex grids on any continent's given map have warp spots in them. The game counters this by making the process of exploration both the entire point of the game and a game-long reward in itself, so that players will sometimes still want to take the long way around even though they don't have to.

Bittersweet Ending: On the upside, the Ganglion are defeated, the Lifehold Core is successfully retrieved, the survivors can now explore their new home, Mira, without the sheer urgency from their previous mission, and Lao, despite his seeming Heel–Face Door-Slam, appears alive again in an organic body. On the downside, the computer in the Lifehold Core was destroyed, meaning that the data on it may have been lost, and the Ghost, the alien race who attacked the White Whale, are still out there.

Sensible Heroes, Skimpy Villains: While players can dress their characters and teammates in anything from bulky armor to bikinis, the female characters start out wearing reasonable clothing and armor. For the two main female antagonists, Goetia wears a thong leotard with a Cleavage Window, and Ryyz goes for a Navel-Deep Neckline. The female Cavern Clan prone tend to wear more revealing outfits than the female Tree Clan prone, and the Definians aren't too different either.

 Xenoblade Chronicles X (Video Game) / int_4168491
comment
No Such Thing as Alien Pop Culture: Almost every alien species that joins NLA gains some sort of fascination for human pop culture. The Ma Non become obsessed with pizza and fashion, L is captivated by human sayings and idioms, and at least one Prone is interested in human military strategy. However, for the most part, nothing of the aliens' culture aside from technology and weapons seems to catch on with humanity. In fact, there's barely any sign of alien pop culture at all. There's one Prone woman who seems to be a dancer, but that's about it.

Hidden in Plain Sight: Some indigens like to camouflage themselves in the scenery, not being detectable by the targeting system until they ambush you. Mortifoles and Sacrifoles disguise themselves among ordinary plants (though moving petals might tip you off); Germivores, Tectinsulas and Arenatects disguise themselves as land formations; in Sylvalum, some Cantors like to pose as perfectly stiff statues (aside from their heads turning in different directions with clock-ticking sound) next to stone walls.

Completing the game adds five powerful Tyrants to the world: Dadaan, the Strongest Prone, who summons his squad and will scrap your Skell with his bazooka if you try to use one against him; Lugalbanda, the Wanderer-King, which can debilitate you with Eye Beams and summon ovis to eat for healing; Gradivus, the Headless Emperor, a Barrier Change Boss millesaur with a permanently destroyed neck and 100 million HP; Leva'el, the Terminus, a Xern that summons squads of enemy Skells and Satellis units and has a One-Hit Kill Kill Sat attack; and Nardacyon, the Shadowless, a souped-up version of the Chapter 7 boss and a Lightning Bruiser extraordinaire that is summoned if you try to fight its pilot Nahum, the Red Hare while you're in a Skell. Some of these Tyrants drop unique weapons or special augments that add reflect effects to certain auras and Overdrives, and most of them drop unique holofigures.

The Guards Must Be Crazy: By real-life standards, many of the Ganglion humanoids and mechanoids have incredibly bad hearing and vision. Even when you start a fight in a Ganglion Base where most of the guards are within earshot and clear sight of each other, they don't take notice of what's happening unless you get their attention by attacking them or wandering into their aggro range. Using wares that have the Optical Cloaking Augment can also really make the Ganglion look woefully incompetent when it comes to guarding their facilities: You can move within 1.5 feet of a Puge, Prone, or Marnuck and they still wouldn't react to your presence, even when you're right in front of them and stealing the goods from their containers. It gets even more ridiculous when you're piloting a Skell in Cauldros: You can actually avoid fighting most of the Ganglion by moving and jumping very carefully between them.

Love Dodecahedron: It goes like this: Gwin has a crush on Irina, who doesn't like men but just might have a soft spot for Elma or Rook. Murderess makes several flirtatious comments towards Rook, with some hints that it's more than just idle talk. Lyvia is Definian who is the romantic rival of Eri, who has a crush on Rook. Mia flirts with Doug in an after combat dialogue, who is in love with Hope (who has numerous NLA citizens in love with her), who is vaguely hinted to be in love with...you guessed it...Rook. Rook is a Love Vortex, and all of these examples are just if Rook is male, the female Rook includes all of these and MORE.

Human Popsicle: The entire human race is this, having been frozen ever since they boarded the White Whale to escape Earth's destruction. Their bodies are waiting in the Lifehold Core, controlling artificial bodies called mimeosomes from a distance. This is why retrieving the Lifehold Core before the Ganglion is so imperative: if the Ganglion finds and destroys the Core first, the human race will die out. It's eventually subverted: this was the story the people in New Los Angeles were led to believe. In truth, the humans' consciousnesses and memories were uploaded to a huge database inside the Core. The humans' original bodies were destroyed alongside Earth, and the Core only houses the aforementioned database, as well as protoplasm and DNA banks to recreate new flesh-and-blood bodies for the humans to go back to after Mira is made safe. Only one body was actually frozen like they told the people in New LA: Elma's real body.

Rewarding Inactivity: Depending on how you set up your probes on Mira, you can get high amounts of money and Miranium after a certain amount of time has passed in game. As such, it's a valid tactic to leave the game playing in the background with the Game Pad plugged in to have resources build up while you're busy doing something else. However, the game apparently has algorithms to determine if a player is idle; after a while, resources WILL stop accumulating until you start playing again.

Jerk with a Heart of Gold: During Kristy's questline, you discover that she's working on the framework for a new FrontierNav system, believing she is the only survivor of the team after crashing on Mira. Along the way, Tobias challenges you and says you're cutting into the profits he's trying to make using the system himself. He comes off as a smug asshole who only cares about money. An "Avatar of Avarice", as she calls him. At the end of the questline, you discover that Kristy never realized that he was part of the team, and that he transfered all the money he'd been saving up into her account so they can both work on the project together. Kristy is left wondering what the hell just happened.

comment
Infinity -1 Sword: Bonus points for being actual swords, you can obtain the Unbreakable Blade and the Legendary Nopopopopon from post-endgame quests. Both are level 50 and offer considerable strength that surpass many of the level 60 swords, but they can't be upgraded with more skill slots. Skell-wise, both Ares models are significantly easier to make than other level 60 Skells and have extremely high starting stats, plus a weapon that's comparable to other superweapons in damage output. However, you can't change their equipment, meaning that outside of their augments, their power can't be increased with stronger weapons and they only have 4 weapons, meaning they'll have to wait for their cooldown that's much longer to use any of them again and they miss out on a significant number of augment slots. That being said, making a normal level 60 Skell that can consistently out-damage an Ares and has overall higher stats is a massive time and materials investment and isn't really that useful for anything besides the novelty of being able to take down the strongest Superbosses in a single hit.

The Zaruboggans can only survive in environments that other species would consider toxic and polluted, and in addition to wearing hazmat suits all the time, they carry around gorkwa staffs to filter out voltant material from polluted areas.

Race Against the Clock: The big number at the top of BLADE Tower isn't arbitrary: it's a countdown indicating how much energy the Lifehold Core has. If the heroes don't reach the Core and activate its secondary energy generator before it reaches zero, the mimeosomes (Robotic bodies housing the humans' souls) will shut down, and bye-bye humanity. While the residents of New LA do know they have a time limit, only a select few know the meaning behind the number, to prevent widespread panic.

Scenery Porn: As with the original, its spiritual sequel offers a wide variety of terrain and breathtaking vistas. The amount of detail in New Los Angeles alone is a vast improvement over either of the Colonies. Made moreso, once you get your first Skell and gain the ability to fly — you may even get to see an electromagnetic storm! A prime example of this is right after the first boss fight, when you reach the Western Gate. Walk up the stairs and take a good look at the scenery from the extended balcony. If you waited until nightfall, auroras fill the sky, accompanied by a full moon. For that matter, cutscenes are rendered according to time. Whether you first enter, and then tour, NLA at morning, daytime, dusk, or at night is entirely up to you.

In both Xenoblade games, there is a boss battle near the end of the game against a close ally who was Evil All Along who is the last major boss before the finale. However, unlike the guy in Xenoblade, Lao makes a Heel–Face Turn.

Rare Random Drop
 Xenoblade Chronicles X (Video Game) / int_4afad1b9
comment
Rare Random Drop: Enemies can rarely drop a weapon or piece of armor in a higher tier than what is normally found. This is the only way to obtain certain Ultra Regal and Ultra Infinite armor sets, as their droppers might be only level 56-60 or 61-65, below the levels they normally drop (UR drops for 61-65, while UI drops for 66 and above).

Stalking Is Love
 Xenoblade Chronicles X (Video Game) / int_4b8932a4
comment
Stalking Is Love: One Normal Mission has you working for a Ma Non who wants to analyze human emotions and satisfy them. His third and final subject is Dana, a female BLADE officer who has an unrequited crush on another BLADE named Christopher. At this point, she says that she's asked Christopher to go out with her several times and he's rejected her each time. His rejection, however, is framed as a misunderstanding or misevaluation on his part, thus she continues to follow him around and enlists your help to try and win him over. To this end, she asks you to help her assemble one of two gifts. One of the gifts will finally win over Christopher's heart and the other will have him reject her for a final time. There is no option, however, to tell her to back off of the guy. For his part, though, Christopher invites these assumptions.

Long Song, Short Scene
 Xenoblade Chronicles X (Video Game) / int_4cefd8a6
comment
Long Song, Short Scene: "Black Tar" is over three minutes long (and has two versions). You'll finish most battles before the lyrics start. Likewise, "Uncontrollable" plays when you fight Tyrants, though you'll probably only hear the lyrics in full if the battle starts to draw out. "Wir Fliegen", the song that plays when you activate Overdrive has a 2nd verse after the chorus before looping, and on the same track there's a version that uses more rock instruments for the second half. However, both of these are missing from the game, especially considering that Black Tar has the second half in place while fighting in Skells.

Reduced-Downtime Features
 Xenoblade Chronicles X (Video Game) / int_4d1e5c25
comment
Reduced-Downtime Features: There are very few healing arts in the game (with the most powerful one, Smooth Recovery, only available in the US edition or Japanese DLC). To heal consistently, players have to perform Quick-Time Events that allow them to combo abilities with their teammates. This allows the player to focus entirely on the battle and not need to stop and heal. Also, abilities work via a Cooldown feature, and health automatically regenerates outside of combat.

In one side mission, a man hires your team to clear all of the dangerous indigens out of a cave. Upon exploring the cave, it's discovered that the creatures inhabiting the cave are all juveniles, prompting the man who hired you to decide that you shouldn't kill them all. If you decide to listen to him and leave the creatures alone, they eventually grow up into extremely dangerous monsters that end up killing a number of people, including the guy who originally hired you to clear out the cave.

And Your Reward Is Interior Decorating: Leveling up your BLADE rank not only gives you color and lighting variations for your barracks, but also gives you hologram projectors, where you can then earn holograms by completing certain quests or fighting certain monsters. Also, you can earn decorative pets to add to your barracks by completing certain quests. Multiplayer quests start in the team leader/originator's barracks, so there's an element of showing off there.

Higher-Tech Species
 Xenoblade Chronicles X (Video Game) / int_4fafed32
comment
Higher-Tech Species: The Ganglion. Apparently they're small-time criminal thugs in galactic terms, but against humans, they have a planet-killing technological edge. Humanity can only pretend to keep up due to a Space Elf taking pity and helping accelerate their technology to survive the aforementioned planet-killing. The Ma-non are the standout example, casually stating that their tech puts everything in the Samaar Federation (which spans multiple galaxies, and whom the aforementioned Ganglion are part of) to shame. They even regard a Perpetual Motion Machine as a trivially mundane power source. The only reason they can't invent superweapons that instantly win the war is because they don't like making weapons and therefore aren't used to considering harmful applications of their tech.

But Thou Must!: ...join BLADE. Especially egregious when they insist several times before that it's your choice, and it appears that it is...unless you try to refuse, in which case Nagi asks you if you'd really "refuse the people who saved your life"...and if you say no to THAT, the nature of the question makes him interpret otherwise. The same goes for using Elma and Lin, because you have no choice but to include them in your party for every story chapter and for most of the affinity missions. And in many cases, the fourth character slot is predetermined too. Meaning, the game dictates who you take with you the majority of the time.

The Farmer and the Viper

The Farmer and the Viper: One early quest involves a BLADE named Carl being asked to kill some indigens because their proximity to New LA makes them a future danger to it. But he's too lazy to do it himself, so he dumps the mission on Rook. Upon discovering that said indigens are younglings, Rook is given the option to spare them or to kill them as ordered. Sparing them yields the consequence of them growing up and attacking people, including Carl, who is fatally wounded. There's a mission where Quincy offers some typical jobs only for Gus to attempt to hijack them and steal the reward. Later he's seen being chased by an indigen. If you "rescue" him, he's an Ungrateful Bastard and screws you over anyway.

Healer Signs On Early
 Xenoblade Chronicles X (Video Game) / int_50739d68
comment
Healer Signs On Early: Irina becomes a recruitable party member after Chapter 3. She comes with the Buff Art "Repair", which restores some HP and removes debuffs and eventurally learns "Smooth Recovery," her unique party wide heal. At the same time, all characters are capable of healing one another through Soul Voice: using an Art corresponding with a party member's request restores HP for both the requester and the character performing the Art. Cross can become one early on if they choose the Enforcer class. Not only can you learn "Repair" fairly early on into the class, but you can also unlock Irina's "Smooth Recovery" as soon as you finish her first affinitiy mission, which unlocks when Irina becomes recruitable after chapter 3.

Relationship Chart: The Affinity Chart shows how all the characters on Mira are interconnected with each other. The relationships will change over the course of the game as the story plays out, but more importantly from the dialogue choices the player makes which affects the outcomes of side quests. If a player isn't careful, they can get an NPC killed, with the chart placing an X over their picture. It also shows the Relationship Values the the player has with the other party members, which is necessary for unlocking more of their story missions when the game advances to the proper chapter in the story.

Schizophrenic Difficulty: The game is absolutely lousy with enemy placement. Nowhere than the very start of the game is this made clear; Elma herself informs you that you really should take the upper route to New Los Angeles, as while the fall to the lower level won't kill you, the high-level indigens certainly will. Even then, you will spend much of the early game stealthing your way around high-level threats by exploiting the terrain, because trying to brute-force your way past them will only end in you getting wasted in record time.

Humans Are White
 Xenoblade Chronicles X (Video Game) / int_5526b660
comment
Humans Are White: Played with. Within NLA, almost every character is of fair skin, and characters like Lin and Nagi are Chinese and Japanese respectively. Other than that, due to the lack of clear skin tones and ethnic features, it's hard to tell if there any, say, Black or Alboriginal people. Many players, in fact, have complained that the character creation system does not do a good job of providing options for non-White and non-Asian characters. As such, pre-made NPCs (such as Powell at Army Pizza) are a slightly darker shade than others, but could just be tanned for all we know. However, given the tenor of some of Lao's comments during chapter 11 in particular, the marked "whiteness" of the White Whale crew may not be unintentional on the part of the developers...

Bragging Rights Reward: The Ares 90, if you're playing totally offline (whether by choice, lack of Internet, or the servers go down), become this. The Ares 90 requires Golden Yggralith Hearts dropped by Yggralith Zero, which is exclusively encountered online. The only way to obtain Golden Yggralith Hearts offline, therefore, is with Reward Tickets. The only way to obtain Reward Tickets offline is through the reward of 5,000 Reward Tickets for completing the survey of Mira... which requires you to defeat the highest-leveled enemy in the game, something you probably already built a top-notch Skell to do, and the slightly-weaker Ares 70 is craftable offline as well.

No Bisexuals: Played With. Heterosexuality is assumed to be the default in nearly all cases that the subject of love or sex comes up—especially in regards to alien species. For example, when a Definian tries to seduce Female Rook, she disguises herself as male. There are many cases of Ambiguously Bi all over the place, but they're just that—ambiguous. Lara Nara is the only character who openly states an attraction for the same sex/gender, and while he also flirts somewhat with women, it's hard to know if he's just teasing. A possible exception is the suitor Rook finds for Male!Lyvia, who is female, but professes to like Lyvia regardless of what form she takes.

Fantastic Racism
 Xenoblade Chronicles X (Video Game) / int_57b80b45
comment
Fantastic Racism: New LA becomes the home to numerous different alien species, such as the Ma-Non, and the Prone. While most humans find it quite appealing to interact with the different xenos and learn from them, there are still a few who are scared and resentful of them. One shopkeeper refuses to let Ma-Non shop at her store because she has a crippling fear of reptiles, and their skin creeps her out. More than a few of the Prone receive hatred for what their race has done in the story. The absolute shining example would be Alex, who not only murders three defenseless and unsuspecting Nopon but also attempts to murder three Ma-non, a race that showed absolutely no signs of threatening the humans in NLA. All things considered, the aliens all take it rather well, as they respond more out of confusion rather than offense. According to the art book, the battle that destroyed Earth seen at the beginning of the game was between two alien civilizations who are at war due to differences in their physiology, making it an interesting variation on this trope.

At one point, the Wrothian (the game's Japanese Fantasy Counterpart Culture) Anti-Villain Ga Buidhe decides to disobey her master Ga Jiarg and kill the protagonists, intending to protect him and her people against them despite his willingness to negotiate. When she fails, she tells the protagonists that she's willing to pay with her life, until Ga Jiarg arrives and says that, despite her disobedience, her death isn't necessary.

Magic Knight: By contrast, the Fullmetal Jaguar and Partisan Eagle specialize in close combat and have many melee attacks that have elemental properties, and attacks that also inflict debuffs.

Ambiguous Robots
 Xenoblade Chronicles X (Video Game) / int_585da3f0
comment
Ambiguous Robots: The Milsaadi are a species of Silicon-Based Life, and as such are often mistaken for robots when first seen. Their skin looks metallic, their eyes glow red, and their voices have a noticeable reverb. Nonetheless, they are suggested to be fully... whatever the silicon equivalent of "organic" is. The Oc-servs, Fal-swos, and Xe-doms running around the landscape of Mira are not creations of the Ganglion, but something they dug up on the planet and reprogrammed into serving them. Despite their mechanical nature, the metal they're made of is suggested to be "alive" in some sense, and doesn't match any known alloy. The humans in the game all inhabit robotic bodies called mimeosomes, which are outwardly completely identical to a living human. They breathe, they eat, they sleep... they can even "bleed out" and "die" due to losing bio-circulatory plasma. In fact, the player character (and the player themselves) don't even realize they're in a robot body until a fair way into the story! One character even questions if the mimeosome bodies are human-like enough to conceive children (answer: no, they can't).

Joker, the Unknowable is level 90, but is a very common enemy to defeat for levelling up BLADE Scouts and obtaining Ultra Diamond/Nebulan weapons because, being a Blatta, it has relatively low health and attack power. It can be tough for lesser-prepared players because of its ridiculously high Evasion, though. The nearby Squall Blattas, which appear in huge numbers, also contribute to the grinding effort.

Slippy-Slidey Ice World: Subverted.

However, during Moimoi's quest to find the Sword of Legendaryness, he mentions that Sylvalum is pretty cold.

Never Smile at a Crocodile: Diluses are Mira's answer to the crocodilians. Your first encounter with them will likely be the Merciful Diluses in southern Noctilum, which have levels in the late 30s when the other indigens in the area are early teens. And despite the name they're aggressive, too.

Saltats are supposed to be birds, but they look more like huge primates with hand-shaped wings, a masked face, a huge trumpet horn on the back of their head, and colorful eye markings on their wings. They also constantly make horn noises, make spinning dances when not in battle, make Bring It gestures, and generally clown around. Liceors are similar, but have a more ethereal and bright design.

Socialization Bonus
 Xenoblade Chronicles X (Video Game) / int_5a90e8ad
comment
Socialization Bonus: When you start or reload your game, you're asked to choose a type of Squad to join, one focused on story progression, another focused on multiplayer and one focused on people you are friends with: these consist of up to 32 random players that you can hire to use as party members over the normal NPCs, offer up enemy drops you don't need yourself and do specific types of missions with together. The most visible component of this system are randomized Squad Tasks that require you to collect specific types of items or kill specific types of enemies: doing so awards some Reward Tickets every time someone contributes towards a task to that person and a larger amount of them to every Squad member when one of them is completed. Completing said Tasks also contributes towards unlocking more online Squad missions. Squad Missions are mini-excursions that can be undertaken with your party, or you can recruit other players to play alongside you(the game will usually tell you(the gold-bordered announcements) if a recruitment call goes out while you're playing, but not if you're in a menu). Completing these grants you a large amount of materials (sometimes from enemies that are otherwise only fought as Bonus Bosses), more Reward Tickets and Battle Points. In additon, completing some missions in a certain way(examining suspicious objects, fighting extra enemiess the mission points out, or destroying the right part(s) of the mission's final enemy) can unlock another squad mission with even bigger rewards. All squad members also get reward tickets when somebody completes these, with final bonuses gained if all Squad Tasks and Squad Missions are completed. Finally, Bonus Bosses might appear at specific times for a limited amount of time: you have a preset amount of time to deplete as many of their lifebars as possible and if you reach specific milestones, you can get a number of rare items when either all of their lifebars are depleted or they escape at the end of their availability period. However, the real purpose of fighting them is destroying their appendages: each one drops 1-2 items when destroyed and you can get 7-14 of them per fight, which you can redeem for large amounts of Reward Tickets and is by far the quickest way to get a large number of them assuming you're strong enough to fight them long enough to dismember them without getting killed yourself, which isn't particularily hard to accomplish, then abandoning the mission. You don't get the normal rewards, but you do get to keep the parts you broke off. Like stated above, you can hire other peoples' avatars to use as party members for a limited amount of time: killing enough enemies with them in your party increases their scout rank, which gives you some free items(you also get a free item when your avatar gets hired) and if it's maxed out, a BLADE Medal when you release them: this is one of the few ways to get them and you need them to fight the Bonus Bosses mentioned above. Even if you don't want to hire another player's avatar, you can still ask them to provide Division Support, which nets you various buffs and bonuses in gameplay.

Call a Rabbit a "Smeerp": Discussed. Random conversations compare several indigens on Mira to terrestrial animals, such as birds, wolves and dinosaurs. They realize, however, that those comparisons are probably arbitrary. Mia's affinity mission in the post game has the Nopon themselves calling local indigens "Birds" (even though said bird in question is a dragon-like Colubrim).

Disc-One Nuke
 Xenoblade Chronicles X (Video Game) / int_5b81ca8d
comment
Disc-One Nuke: The Affinity Mission where you recruit Alexa comes with the one of a kind Ramjet rifle. While weak, it gives the player 900 TP per round. This makes it really easy for players to keep up Overdrive and trivialize boss fights and other nasties, at least until they get the hang of Augments and stack skills that can do the job better. The knife's arts gained after the Drifter class can be this while also being Difficult, but Awesome. Smooth Recovery makes health much less of an problem, the Brainjack + Servant Sacrifice combo makes gaining TP easy while also getting rid of non-tyrant/boss enemies, and Screamer makes fighting multiple enemies more manageable and there are even more useful arts from the Knife. Late-Game sees you make use of different, and more effective weapons, as the the knife's arts will deal with non-issues at that point.

Central Theme: There is a line between self-preservation and genocide, and doing right means knowing which one is which. Is it better to kill out of fear of what's unknown and different or take a chance at peace and mercy, even knowing that it can end disastrously? These questions are brought up in the story proper regarding the Ganglion and their fear of humans, in sidequests regarding humans who kill aliens out of fear, and in gameplay regarding killing the hostile flora and fauna of Mira as threats to humanity's survival. Neither killing nor mercy are the right answer on every occasion, and the choice is always difficult.

 Xenoblade Chronicles X (Video Game) / int_5cfeb43f
comment
Save Scumming: The player is only given one save file per account. Like the first game, a good number of the side quests have multiple outcomes depending on your choices (and some of them affect connected future side quests). The rewards stay the same regardless of outcome this time, but unless you know ahead of time, you're not going to get the favorable outcome on the first attempt every time. If the "bad choice" doesn't lead to damaged NPC relationships, it usually leads to one or more friendly NPCs getting killed.

comment
Stats Dissonance: While most Tyrants are simply enemies with much higher levels and stats than other enemies in the same area (for example, a Level 80 wandering around areas where the mobs are usually Level 10 or below), Elma warns the player early on that a Tyrant's level and stats mean nothing. Some Tyrants have special properties, immunities or abilities that can make them harder to defeat than enemies much stronger than them statistically. For example, Agnes, the Divine Scaled can reflect all Thermal-type damage, and Blaudolch, the Chalcedony can make the player's party freeze in place for a while, rendering them helpless to its attacks.

Some of the holograms feature WalkingSpoilers, and while you can't view the hologram's name, you can still get spoiled by certain things, like the Prone Tree Clan and chimeras, even if the player won't understand the contexts they are from.

Space Orcs

comment
Space Orcs: Two of the Ganglion's primary Mook races fit into this archetype: The Prone's skin colors include pink and purple rather than green, and they have tentacles hanging off their faces, but aside from appearance they are essentially Blizzard orcs. They tend to have aspects of both Tolkien and Blizzard orcs, usually depending on how likely they are to shoot you. The Marnucks are essentially Tolkien orcs, aside from their blue skin, being reptilian, preference for guns, and having invented their own military technology. What little we know about them is that they don't just love war; their chief deity is their god of death, and they think killing people in battle is an honorable act. Their homeworld was destroyed by a global civil war, and the only ones left are the ones that sided with the Ganglion.

Uniqueness Decay: At the beginning of the story, you're told that people who gain the privilege of driving a Skell are rare. The license to pilot one is only given to BLADE members, and then only the elite who prove that they're one of their most productive members. And then, only if they pass a difficult test. And then only if they have the money to buy it themselves. However, by the time you are able to buy/pilot one yourself, suddenly everybody has one. Characters whom you have to buy one for in gameplay (such as Irina) have their own, and evil BLADEs (such as Alex, Gadd, and Fosdyke have one. Hell, even Powell from Army Pizza has one, and he isn't even a BLADE! The last one gets lampshaded by the Ma-Non BLADE, Ackwar after the related sidequest (provided you did everything to ensure he survived it), pointing out that Powell shouldn't have access to a Skell even if he's ex-military, leading him to suspect that he had outside help in claiming it. Inverted with the Telethia in terms of the game universes. In the original Xenoblade Chronicles 1, Telethia were an entire family of monsters that are the devolved and mutated form of the High Entia race and Zanza's antibodies. In X, there are only two Telethia in the game, both considered the planetary guardians of Mira. Also inverted with playable characters who use sniper rifles. Lao and Bozé are the only two who use it, and Lao becomes unplayable after Chapter 9.

Witch with a Capital "B": According to the game's subtitles, Elma calls Goetia a "Samaarian witch" in Chapter 6. Most players are in agreement that this is definitely not what Caitlin Glass actually said.

The "[Race] Immigration" achievements usually don't spoil much seeing as the race names won't mean much until you meet them, with two exceptions: the one listed above is one, but you get "Definian Immigration" for completing a quest that involves the Heel–Face Turn of one of their race, and it isn't until the post game that only a couple more join in.

He Knows About Timed Hits: The game is rather forgiving about breaking immersion when talking about game mechanics, but a little of this still happens. You'll get advice from characters that pauses the game and mentions story missions and other game mechanics. One NPC in particular, Wolf, gives you advice on handling enemies, such as knowing how to take advantage of an Art's 2nd cooldown timer (the green ring that fills up.)

Gameplay and Story Segregation
 Xenoblade Chronicles X (Video Game) / int_6320eced
comment
Gameplay and Story Segregation You can decide to explore the entire planet with the main three, yet some chapters still have Elma and Lin react as if they've been in an area for the first time (like when you enter Oblivia\Sandy Butt Canyon during Chapter 5's story missions). Lin will mention Tatsu in some of her post-battle quotes, even before you meet him. Some NPCs will ask the party certain things that Nagi shouldn't be around to hear such "sensitive information" or planning to assassinate◊ him◊ while he is in the party. At one point during her affinity missions, Irina complains that there aren't many female BLADE members. But just by running around NLA and even looking at the playable characters list, there are lots of them. The White Phosphor Lake in Cauldros is said to be radiated and it's possible to accidentally (unless the player's doing so on purpose) get a named NPC killed from phosphorus poisoning due to poor directional guidance, yet the player character won't be affected by the radiation, but only standing in the phosphorus. When you add Elma to your party, she says that she's pleased to serve under your team until your next big assignment (namely, Story Missions, whereupon she becomes commanding officer again). Except, in any cutscene where she has a speaking role, Elma instantly becomes the leader. For example, there's L's, Celica's, and Gwin's first Affinity Missions, which amounts to the team just helping out those characters and not being on any type of assignment. It can become really noticeable, though, when Elma gets credit for a lot of things that you accomplished without her needing to be in the group whatsoever. For example, his Affinity Mission has Nagi state that he's been serving under Elma for some time. Except that, when you add him to the party, he says it was you he wanted to serve under. This is possibly an artifact from early production design, in which there was no Supporting Protagonist, and so the team leader and the Player Character were likely the same person. In the Affinity Mission, "Boot Camp", Gwin says that he is too weak and wants to train. Elma then wants to fight him to see how "weak" he is. When you fight him, he is level 40, when it is highly unlikely you trained Gwin to level 40 by the time you do this Affinity Mission. Then Elma tasks Gwin to do some missions with her (or Rook's) team, and his levels drop back down to what they are when he is a regular party member. After you and Gwin do those missions, Gwin takes another battle with your party. In this fight, he is now level 46. Somehow a BLADE can all-the-sudden grow by 6 levels just by doing some missions from Elma. Elma, Doug and Lao are all shown to be Skell pilots before joining your party, but until you get your Skell License, you can't even have them support you with their own Skells. Similarly, despite a big deal being made about Skells being a limited resource, you can buy as many as you have credits for, and can even hand them out to inexperienced BLADEs such as Phog or L. The fact that L and Celica can use Overdrive. It's heavily implied that Overdrive is a function of the characters' robotic bodies, since you can't use it until after the reveal, and the icon depicts a set of gears. Despite being flesh and blood, both L and Celica are somehow capable of using it, too. You can take Celica and L with you on the initially racist Bozé's recruitment mission and he doesn't seem to care at all. Being nice to non-humans in conversation also raises his affinity as much as any other character. A female Orphean may appear as the client for a Basic Mission before completing the Mission where they are brought into existence. In Chapter 12's cutscene, it doesn't matter what your Skells look like, because they're not the ones you're piloting. In the same cutscene, certain NPCs like Alexa and H.B. will be leading their own separate teams with the objective of holding enemy forces off while you secure the Lifehold Core. If they were in your party they will suddenly be part of your team after the cutscene even though they were no where near you a few seconds before. You can take any member on missions where you fight the Definians, yet most of the time in their affinity missions (i.e. Bozé and Hope), they act as if the Definian they encounter there were the first they saw. After Chapter 5 a mission requires Rook to give a Ma-non worker some means of compensation in exchange for their technology and knowledge. Pizza is the key, and the worker immediately gets hooked. Exploring NLA before doing this still shows the Ma-non mad for pizza, even though it's often stated that it's Rook who started the Pizza fad in the first place. It's possible to find combat probes in mechanical treasure spots before undergoing Hugo's missions, which imply that said probes are his inventions and the first of their kind. The missions involving Alex and Fraise are required to be completed before being able to access Good Fortun, and by extent, Definian Downfall, as they both heavily involve Definians while Definian Downfall is all about finishing them off. However, other such missions such as Corwin's missions, The Duel Part IV, and Slovity's Revenge, aren't required to be completed beforehand, and the Definians involved in those missions often brag about Fortun, even when she's either dead or lobotomized. The main game's story ending heavily implies you have completed most of the affinity missions and unlocked every character in the game, even if you did not recruit the optional characters. An example is Celica's Affinity Mission: not completing New in New LA. Rock seems to be working in construction when he obtains the job after the affinity mission is completed. Then there's Mia as well, who can only become recruitable in a bonus mission. It's possible to find most of the lifehold segments long before the story actually sends you looking for them but your team will never acknowledge them until the story allows it despite it apparently being a desperate search for them.

comment
Death World: Mira may be an ecological paradise, its air is breathable and most of the flora is edible or harmless, save the dandelions that shoot parasitic seeds into your skin and the explosive papayas. However, it's also filled to the brim with hordes of house-sized megafauna that want you dead. The five continents are all nasty: Primordia is covered in steep cliffs, Noctilum is a huge jungle with poisonous rivers and home to a madness-inducing virus that makes the infected wildlife attack all living creatures, Oblivia is an arid wasteland where dust storms and electromagnetic storms are common, Sylvalum is choked with spores and patrolled by mysterious giant robots, and Cauldros is a war-torn volcanic landscape patrolled by hostile forces. And that's not factoring in the hostile alien invaders and dormant machines that can lay waste to an entire army. Death is a constant fact of life for anyone that works outside New Los Angeles, as BLADE members die in droves to the megafauna, even with the aid of Skells. And the water is contaminated with foreign, dangerous bacteria. And all these notes on human survivability? Every human in the place is using a robotic body capable of taking a 10-storey fall without consequence. Biological humans wouldn't have a hope.

Insectoid Aliens
 Xenoblade Chronicles X (Video Game) / int_63f22889
comment
The Orpheans (or the Orphe as they call themselves) are an insectoid race that are not only very logistical by human standards, they are connected to what appears to be a divine Hive Mind which is actually a symbiotic virus called the Ovah. In addition to initially having no concept of gender, they reproduce by using Senirapa water to split themselves into two Orpheans (or create two new Orpheans if the Orphean receiving the water is on the brink of death), with the new one already at adulthood and inheriting their parent's memories. It gets to the point that after replicating the water, the race goes from a mere five members on Mira (there were two others, but one's a traitor that stuck with the Ganglion coalition and the other got eaten by Visigels, thus spreading the Ovah to non-Orpheans) to making up a noticeable chunk of New LA's xeno population. Eventually, enough contact with humanity results in one Orphean spontaneously fissioning into a "female" gendered Orphean.

Bizarre Alien Reproduction
 Xenoblade Chronicles X (Video Game) / int_640ebd81
comment
Bizarre Alien Reproduction: The Orphe are a vaguely insect-looking species that reproduce asexually. The method is by sprinkling some "senirapa" water upon themselves (even a single drop will suffice), which causes their body to spontaneously generate two new Orphe. The children possess all the memories of their parent. It is common for dying Orphe to do this as their final act, to ensure that their memories and experiences will not be lost, but the game suggests that they can do it at any time they please, as long as they have some of the water on hand. And this is before one Orphe randomly undergoes a mutation that leads to the sudden birth of the first female of their species. The Zaruboggan seem to be a One-Gender Race, and also reproduce asexually. The precise method isn't gone into, but the word they use for producing a child is "regurgitation".

Feathered Dragons: The Telethia is a large dragon covered in feathers and scales, and is claimed to be the fabled guardian of Mira. It shows up a few times throughout the game to save the humans from disastrous scenarios, its scales have curative properties (which it only gives to those it deems worthy), and it only attacks you in self defense (meaning you have to attack it first).

Permanently Missable Content
 Xenoblade Chronicles X (Video Game) / int_6602cad
comment
Permanently Missable Content: This game tries very hard to ensure that it never hits this trope at all. Even if there were one-time only things, there are alternatives that give you another chance at them. None of the quests have a time limit on them, and certain Affinity Quests that would logically become permanently missable later in the plot are mandatory toward progression anyway. However, there are a few things that slip through the cracks: The only thing the player can truly miss out on are Lao's Heart-to-Hearts, but because of their temporary nature the game does not count them toward completion; all they provide is some dialogue and extra affinity points. And, of course, there's Lao himself. A more minor aversion of this is BP, which only comes from examining various alien objects, finding new locations and completing missions, all of which are only available in limited amounts and might potentially make it so that you can run out of BP to max out the Arts and skills needed for your preferred type of build if you spend it on every new Art and skill you learn: this is averted with the addition of Support Missions that're unlocked when you finish the main story and allow you to gain up to 60 BP per mission as many times as you want. In Murderess's recruitment mission, if you give in to her demands, you won't fight a unique Skell that has an entry in the Enemy Index. For the absolute completionist that wants to collect every piece of equipment that exists in the game, there are two particularly startling details that make it very hard: 1. Unlocking Meredith AM after completing chapter 4 will make Broken Skell Sidearms, Broken Skell Arm Weapons, and Broken Skell Spare Weapons disappear. 2. Wrothian Skells can drop their own unique brand of weapons which you can use on your own skell. However, there are only a finite number of times where you can encounter and fight them. After that, they're gone for good. Selling very rare items such as Level 20 Skell you first get means you won't ever get it back.

And that's not even getting into what it does to Lao and Luxaar...

Wide-Open Sandbox
 Xenoblade Chronicles X (Video Game) / int_681077c5
comment
Wide-Open Sandbox: In contrast to its predecessor Xenoblade Chronicles 1, which was more of a stage 5 on the Sliding Scale of Linearity vs. Openness. Players are not restricted to exploring the map as defined by the story, either. If you want to run to Sylvalum or Noctilum at a low level, you're free to do so, provided you can get around the numerous hazards in your way if you don't just want to swim there. There are even low level monsters scattered around the other continents, just as there are high level monsters interspersed in Primordia. According to Nintendo Force editor Lucas Thomas, the game world is bigger than the worlds of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, and Fallout 4 combined. It is so big that Thomas spent four hours simply running around the world map, seeing how far he could get, and cleared little more than three percent of the map.note This is a severe misnomer, as the game grades map completion by completing key objectives in each cell, not by simply traveling there.

Hello, [Insert Name Here]: For the first time in the series, the player creates their own fully customizeable avatar; including their name. But your fellow party members and NPCs will only address you as such during onscreen text (i.e. scenes that aren't voice acted), not during cutscenes. Elma and other characters eventually start calling you "Rook", for "rookie".

And Your Reward Is Clothes: The game maintains the Virtual Paper Doll aspect of its predecessor, and add in "Fashion Armor" slots for those that want their stat boosts while displaying something different. "Casual Wear" armor - common street clothes - is occasionally offered as a reward for the randomly-generated 20 Bear Asses style quests, which is nothing new, but actually justified. Resources are tight on Mira, new threads actually are a pretty valuable incentive.

Sliding Scale of Gender Inequality
 Xenoblade Chronicles X (Video Game) / int_6ad1eeb8
comment
Sliding Scale of Gender Inequality: The game rests at the "Near-perfect equality" range, albeit a number of problematic issues. For example, the people of NLA and the BLADEs are pretty evenly male and female, and humanity is in such dire straits that Old-School Chivalry and Stay in the Kitchen mentalities are pointless. As such, in terms of being actors and agents of the story, men and women have an equal time of it. However, most of the top brass of BLADE and NLA are male. The three superiors your team reports to are all male, and another character states that women are rare within BLADE proper.note Curiously, though, this doesn't bear out in the game itself - out of the eighteen(!) recruitable non-Rook party members, eight are women, which is pretty close to an equal spread. And it's only the DLC characters shifting it male - in the original Japanese print copy, without H.B., Bozé, Yelv and Alexa, the gender ratio was dead-on even at 7:7. There's also tons and tons of NPC BLADE women in the sidequests. Furthermore, a number of design choices are still very gender-unequal. Case-in-point, female characters tend to be given very Stripperiffic outfits and the Male Gaze is everywhere. There's actually only one outfit in the entire game that is exclusive to the male gender, and it looks like L's outfit, six-pack abs and all. Even well-armored women wear conspicuous amounts of Breast Plate and Sensual Spandex armor. Alien women wear thigh-high boots, Combat Stilettos, Thong of Shielding, and low necklines.

The Reveal
 Xenoblade Chronicles X (Video Game) / int_6b2b3b59
comment
Another major issue with this point is that Elma flat out tells Vandham that PTSD cases like Lao and Irina are expected, considering what everyone went through on Earth, then in space, then on Mira. And there are the bombs dropped during The Reveal at the very end of the game. Considering all of this, mental health should have been a major priority on the White Whale and in New LA. Again, this can partially be Hand Waved by assuming that most of the designated therapists died (or were lost) during the crash on Mira, but that still seems odd considering that most other essential crew at least survived well enough to function.

Master of All
 Xenoblade Chronicles X (Video Game) / int_6ca52003
comment
Master of All: It's possible for the player to fully master all 16 of the game's Classes and acquire the skills each one has. However, the problem that prevents this from being practical is the Level 60 Cap: At best, you'll only be able to master 9 Classes (Drifter, two Tier-2 Classes, three Tier-3 Classes, and three Tier-4 Classes) before your Class Point gain peters out to just one per battle.

Schrödinger's Question
 Xenoblade Chronicles X (Video Game) / int_6cc4e01e
comment
Schrödinger's Question: The player can decide to make an effort to negotiate with Alex on behalf of Eliza, the former having possibly murdered a few innocent people and plans on doing nothing short of genocide in NLA. This decision affects the ending of the related mission chain; if the player does go the full mile with negotiation, Alex dies whimpering that he and Eliza used to see eye to eye, indicating that he wasn't always that evil before. If the player shows absolutely no mercy to Alex during negotiations, Alex spews out one more Hannibal Lecture before getting shot in the back (long story), implying that he's always been a xenophobic monster.

Driven to Suicide: Ornella commits suicide at the end of the mission "A False Hope", guilty about her betrayal of Hope and their clients. Subverted with Toluera, if the player decides to take a step further in uncovering the truth. It looks as if Toluera suffers a mental breakdown after discovering that the Golbogga are real. He then runs off the cliff he was perched on. Talking to Feloran reveals that Toluera is alive and well, just insane. Powell's wife breaks under the unrelenting stress of delivering Pizzas to the Ma-non customers and ends her life.

Tertiary Sexual Characteristics: The alien races that are not very humanoid (such as the Nopon and the Ma-Non) possess characteristics that make it easy to tell them apart. For example, they may be lighter in color, have Tareme eyes drawn to look like they have eyeliner, or have slightly wider hips. Some of them (such a female Nopon) are even pink.

Underground Monkey: There are lots and lots and lots of variants of certain enemy types, which are only differentiated by their level, location, size, and/or color scheme. There are a few similarities between certain species, though there's still a very distinguished design between them. Liceors are similar in design to Saltats, but are found exclusively in Sylvalum. They have round feathers compared to the pointed feathers that Saltats have. Vigents are large ape-like quadrupedal creatures who inhabit Noctilum, Sylvalum, and Cauldros. Viragoes have more defined muscles, more eyes, and pointed horns on their heads. Buchwald, the Guardian, and Behemoth, the Netherdweller are tyrant Viragoes who happen to literally live underground. The former lives in Rockburrow Cave in Noctilum, and the latter at the bottom of the Abyss Reservoir in Sylvalum. Auravises and Jaculs both have long spear-like horns on their heads, but that is about where their similarities end. Jaculs have larger bodies, are more skeletal in design and have large fan-like tails, while Auravises have the gas sac between their wings, and have more bird-like features.

Gotta Catch 'Em All: The Holofigures, which can be used to decorate the barracks. Most of them are earned through quests, while the rest are earned by defeating specific Tyrants, specifically by destroying their Head segment during the battle. In-universe, the citizens of NLA are obsessed with collecting Miralife cards, which feature artwork of various indigens. The Enemy Index makes registries of every hostile that you've encountered and will provide complete information when you kill three of each one. Tyrants and special encounter hostiles only require one kill for registration.

Guide Dang It!
 Xenoblade Chronicles X (Video Game) / int_6ec989d8
comment
At the beginning of the story, you're told that people who gain the privilege of driving a Skell are rare. The license to pilot one is only given to BLADE members, and then only the elite who prove that they're one of their most productive members. And then, only if they pass a difficult test. And then only if they have the money to buy it themselves. However, by the time you are able to buy/pilot one yourself, suddenly everybody has one. Characters whom you have to buy one for in gameplay (such as Irina) have their own, and evil BLADEs (such as Alex, Gadd, and Fosdyke have one. Hell, even Powell from Army Pizza has one, and he isn't even a BLADE! The last one gets lampshaded by the Ma-Non BLADE, Ackwar after the related sidequest (provided you did everything to ensure he survived it), pointing out that Powell shouldn't have access to a Skell even if he's ex-military, leading him to suspect that he had outside help in claiming it.

The most powerful Tyrant is the level 99 monster Telethia, the Endbringer. It's first shown in a cutscene near the end of Chapter 6, and is later challenged in a Zero-Effort Boss fight in an Affinity mission ("The Nopon Heir"). The real battle comes during the normal mission "A Fateful Choice".

Marathon Boss
 Xenoblade Chronicles X (Video Game) / int_6ee0d388
comment
Marathon Boss: The two Global Nemeses, Yggralith Zero and Telethia Plume, offer an interesting spin on the concept. Fought in online events in the style of an MMO raid, these bosses have utterly obscene amounts of HP spread across hundreds of thousands of individual "lives". Each instance against them is timed, and a sufficiently prepared party can be reasonably expected to only shave off a few hundred lives in one sitting. The idea is that the entire community is supposed to work together to take these bosses down over the span of a few days. There is far tamer example outside of online: a Milesaur Tyrant named Gradivus, the Headless Emperor. It has one hundred million HP, the highest of any non-Global Nemesis enemy in the game despite being just level 74, but unlike the Global Nemeses, you have to kill this one in a single sitting. There's ways to reduce that HP relatively fast with absurd builds, but it's a testament to its resilience that even the strongest builds in the game can't one shot it and take a while to bring it down.

Commandos, Winged Vipers, and Full Metal Jaguars use twin swords and twin guns. Partisan Eagles and Astral Crusaders use javelins and sniper rifles. Enforcers, Psycorrupters, and Masterminds use knives and rayguns. Blast Fencers and Galactic Knights use photon sabers and psycholaunchers.

Justified Save Point: It's common understanding that saving and quitting is your character dismissing their current party, heading back to NLA, and taking leave of their BLADE duties for a while, and the loading and squad selection sequence when you return is punching on, regathering your group, and picking up where you left off. This falls apart during Story and Affinity Missions, but it's a nice effort.

Calling Your Attacks: As in the original, your characters will shout the name of whatever art they're using (though a few will instead use a phrase), and some bosses get in on it, as well. While it generally doesn't apply while piloting a Skell, anyone who uses a superweapon or is in an Ares model will call out the names of its signature weapons.

No Cutscene Inventory Inertia
 Xenoblade Chronicles X (Video Game) / int_721325ee
comment
No Cutscene Inventory Inertia: Annoyingly, the game is extremely bad at recognizing whether or not you are driving a Skell for cutscenes. A few late-game missions mandate Skell use and show everyone in their cockpits, but most missions just assume you're walking up on foot even if your entire team is in Skells. This means you walk up to the cutscene point in your Skell, somehow hop out of your Skell for the cutscene, draw your ground weapon for a fight, and then get inexplicably teleported back into your Skell the instant the cutscene is done with the game not missing a beat. A few standout examples: This gets especially weird in Chapter 8. You're defending New LA from Ganglion attack, okay, sure... and the cutscenes imply you're helping to hold the gate and later clear the city on foot. Not only is this a full chapter after you get the ability to unlock at least a starter Skell (and has a level limit that puts you exactly at level to get a "proper" Skell and get Elma and Lin into Skells too, if they match yours) but literally everyone else defending New LA is using a Skell. The only other non-Skell folks are Lao's team, and that's because they're defending the relic mech inside a hangar. And yet, if you bring the Skells you almost certainly have, and which the scale of the crisis rather suggests you bring, it doesn't get acknowledged at all and you're apparently ground-pounding for some reason while everyone else is in robots, including Team Irina, who otherwise need to bum your Skells when they're on your team. Chapter 9 also gets fairly strange about this: once again you have Skells and are heading into hostile territory, which rather passively suggests you should bring the robots for this run. You have to dismount to talk to Lao, which is a fair enough do, but you're then shown walking into Sylvalum on foot regardless of your robot status. You then reach the ambush point, and this time you're once again just shown as being on foot, regardless of Skell status, and are detained. You then have the duel with Jiarg, the first part of which is absolutely mandated as a foot battle - and when the second part begins and he summons his Skell... he tells you to "arm yourselves as you wish", and doesn't aggro immediately when you gain control. And your Skells are once again available to board. It's a very odd way of acknowledging that you probably want to use Skells for this fight without actually showing the Skells in the cutscene, and has left a few people wondering just what's going on with Skells and cutscenes. Chapter 10 damn near goes off the rails with it - it seriously seems to be implying that you took on the Zu Pharg, AKA the robotic siege weapon the size of a large building, on foot. And won. In reality, you not only probably had everyone in Skells for that, but you very likely had flight modules! It should be noted that the game regularly averts this outside of Skell-related issues.

His twin brother, Lara Mara, isn't too far behind on the campiness either.

comment
Grey-and-Gray Morality: The game takes a very "choices and consequences" approach to morality in its many, many sidequest dialog options, and the road to hell is truly paved with good intentions - sometimes being a dick is the only way to minimize the body count, and the people involved may or may not sympathize with this after the fact. This comes to a head late in the plot when Elma points a gun at a traitor and Rook, unbidden by the player, will join Lin in standing between them because they find said traitor's story sympathetic. The thing is, the player might very well be on Elma's side, and a very strong case can be made that it's irresponsible of everyone involved not to put a bullet in the traitor on the spot when you weigh one tragic story against humanity's survival. And to cap it off, what at the time is an ambiguous situation or message about humanity proves Elma completely right when the traitor's actions later compromise or destroy the subject of humanity's entire efforts thus far.

comment
Colour-Coded for Your Convenience: A system of colors is used for marking FrontierNav Sectors and Level Indicators to evaluate the danger to your character's party when they're traveling to an area or faced with a hostile. As your character increases their level, the Threat Levels will gradually downgrade to indicate new areas that you can go to and enemies that you can fight with a good chance of winning. White / No Color: Low Danger. This sector is safe for travel and has enemies that can be defeated easily with minimal damage. Purple: Concernable Danger. This Sector has some enemies that are significantly stronger than the player's party and can take down at least one party member. Being attacked by two enemies with Purple Level Indicators may result in the party being annihilated. Blue: Significant Danger. Considerable caution is required for traveling this sector as it has powerful enemies. Using at least 1-2 high-level skells is advised. Green: Medium Danger. Absolute caution required for traveling this sector. Enemies require 3-4 high-level skells to fight with any chance of victory. Yellow: High Danger. Enter this sector or fight this enemy at your own risk as there is a low chance of survival, even if the party is equipped with high-level skells. Orange: Very High Danger. Sector or enemy presents a very low chance of survival, even if party is equipped with high-level skells. Red: Extreme Danger. Do not enter this sector or fight this enemy under any circumstance as there is zero chance of surviving, even if you're party is equipped with the very best skells.

Total Party Kill
 Xenoblade Chronicles X (Video Game) / int_73f7b5a5
comment
The first Filiavent the player is likely to encounter at first looks like a very large, ornate flower, but the top parts are swaying around and the game plays ominous music if you get close. It's not quite as dangerous as the previous two examples, but it's still likely to be a Total Party Kill until you get a more powerful Skell.

Killer Rabbit: Terebras are adorable giant otter-like creatures with huge ears. They will still rip you a new one if your gear isn't up to par. Mephites are about the same, though not nearly as cute, and always aggressive. Sirene, the Lost looks like a cross between a giraffe and a sea slug and is just level 13. It has the highest kill count of any Tyrant, likely because players didn't expect it to be so tough for its level.

Creator's Culture Carryover
 Xenoblade Chronicles X (Video Game) / int_74a7d2d
comment
Creator's Culture Carryover: Despite the White Whale and its crew being primarily American, many of the themes and cultural values of the developers' native Japan shine through. For example, during an Affinity Mission for Lao, Lin accidentally says something that upsets Lao and when Rook tries to cheer her up and fails, Rook falls to the ground in a Dogeza pose. Also, characters are very quick to assume the best intentions of someone who works hard and personal problems are brushed off as too personal to bring up. For example, despite numerous issues that jeopardize the lives of his teammates, everyone gives Lao a lot of slack. Of course, since this story takes place forty years in the future of its release (plus the exceptional circumstances they're in), who knows how cultural values have changed.

comment
Morality Kitchen Sink: Initially the game starts out Black and White, as the humans of NLA are the one thing standing in the way of the Ganglion, a ruthless, tyrannical syndicate. Gets less so as time goes on as side missions reveal there are quite a few scumbags among the human NLA population, such as racist BLADEs ready to commit genocide against all alien races, criminals and murderers raising hell in the city, and that's not even getting into the late-game reveals that the selection process for the White Whale was corrupt to the bone. In addition, there are some notable defections from the Ganglion, such as the Cavern Clan of the Prone and the entire Wrothian race. But it becomes this again when said defectors join the ranks of NLA, and the criminal humans start conspiring with the Ganglion. To say nothing of discontent within certain BLADE members and their willingness to commit treason as revenge.

Rook, Elma, and Lin, being required for all the story missions in addition to many affinity missions, become this as well. Without paying attention, the levels of these characters (especially Rook) will tower over that of anyone else. Elma having the Secret Art Ghost Factory (which grants Decoy to the entire party) makes this more apparent.

Les Collaborateurs: How the Ganglion operate. They appear to a species with a mighty show-of-force and give them the option of Join or Die, and then sit back and watch as The Quislings and the ones too afraid to resist go to war with the ones who want to fight back. The resulting civil war weakens them further, and the Ganglion help their new subordinates win.

Just reaching all of the locations isn't enough; each segment has a specific treasure to find, Tyrant to hunt, or quest/event to complete in order for it to count. And then there's the 749 achievements and level 90+ superbosses...

The War Sequence: Chapter 8 subverts this trope. The Ganglion send an army to attack NLA, but Team Elma is tasked with protecting the East Gate and only that, even though you can prompt that you feel like taking on the whole army by yourself. Even though you fight off a fair share of enemies, Team Irina is shown fighting off far more enemies in the cutscenes.

Cute, but Cacophonic: Terebras are non-agressive indigens that look something like a cross between a river otter and a fennec fox. They're cute to look at, but the fact that their signature attack is a weaponized scream means that the player will probably find them more irritating than anything.

Japanese Ranguage: The songs in this game are all sung in English, but it's pretty easy to tell that the singers are Japanese. "Black Tar" gets better about this halfway into the song— After the first mentions of "roosing your way" and "brack tar", you can clearly hear the L sound from there on. Both singers in "Uncontrollable" are especially hit hard by this, as it's hard for them to enunciate properly.

Belief Makes You Stupid

Belief Makes You Stupid: One of the questlines which splits from setting up the Water Filtration Plant involves a religious zealot who secretly plants a chemical into the plant which, while harmless to humans, is incredibly toxic to several of the alien species living in New LA. She then proceeds to give out the antidote to the aliens who agree to convert to her faith, claiming it to be holy water from her faith's god. The player must assist a Ma-non who is extremely skeptical of religion as a whole (and constantly lets you know that) as he attempts to debunk the scam. Later on it's revealed that the "god" the zealot had seen was in fact a shapeshifting alien who took advantage of her faith to get her to poison the residents of New LA.

Join or Die: The standard recruitment technique for the Ganglion when it comes to the races that make up their ranks. The Prone and the Marnucks in particular were fighting planetwide civil wars on their homeworlds, and the factions that joined the Ganglion were the ones they treated leniently. The Wrothians were even subjected to a planetary blockade until they agreed to join them.

Not Quite the Right Thing
 Xenoblade Chronicles X (Video Game) / int_7a19a69b
comment
Not Quite the Right Thing: In one side mission, a man hires your team to clear all of the dangerous indigens out of a cave. Upon exploring the cave, it's discovered that the creatures inhabiting the cave are all juveniles, prompting the man who hired you to decide that you shouldn't kill them all. If you decide to listen to him and leave the creatures alone, they eventually grow up into extremely dangerous monsters that end up killing a number of people, including the guy who originally hired you to clear out the cave. In another side mission, you're introduced to a guy who often harms other soldiers and takes the credit for their missions. When you're later assigned to find a rock, you see him in trouble running from an indigen. Should you give him the benefit of the doubt, he'll reveal that it was (partly) a ruse, and takes the rock and takes the credit for that mission. Should you refuse to help him, he gets eaten, you complete the mission, and it's stated that what he got was karma (plus there's one less traitor within the army).

Sylvalum has the spore clouds weather. Every so often, the fungus that seems to cover most of the continent releases huge amounts of spores. While they aren't harmful themselves, they reduce visibility to almost zero. This makes it nigh-impossible to tell where you're going, and practically guarantees that you'll walk right into one of the super-powerful enemies wandering around. Worse, there's a Tyrant that will only spawn in this particular weather.

Naza Tenpanzi, a Prone who carried a seed from her home planet is trying to grow it in New LA, and gets help from an Orphean botanist, who sends the player on a Fetch Quest for something to help the tree grow. When the seed sprouts, the Orphean mistakes it for lunch and eats it, not realizing Naza's desire to grow the tree to preserve it, so she beats him up. The Orphean sends you on another fetch quest so that he can clone the sapling to appease Naza, only to have another Orphean walk by and eat the plant. Can actually be averted, in a Guide Dang It!. Talk to Yun'tonam, who is nearby the two xenos and tell him what happened last time the tree got eaten at night.

Off with His Head!: While most monsters only lose tails, horns, or maybe a limb on occasion in battle, Millesaurs and Coronids aren't so fortunate and can have their heads removed if their necks take enough damage. Doing this simply causes them to reveal their real head (or a large "eye" in the case of Coronids) that's normally concealed within their chest, though. Gradivus, the Headless Emperor, like the name suggests, doesn't have one to begin with.

Some of the Indigens ignore you depending on whether you're in a Skell or not. The medium sized enemies think of humans as lunch, but a giant armored robot would be too difficult to fight to bother with; the large enemies barely notice humans at all, but see the Skells as a threat.

Impossibly Cool Clothes: In stark contrast to most of the costume and armor sets of the previous game, the ones found in Xenoblade Chronicles X are not only awesome to look at it, they're fully customizable. During GameXplain' 3-hour livestream, Derrick shows you can even set the characters' headgear to be invisible (@1:06:13-1:10:09). Plus, there are costume sets that are referred to as "fashion armor".

Nice Job Breaking It, Hero!
 Xenoblade Chronicles X (Video Game) / int_7fbb2a3
comment
Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Many quests can result in innocent NPCs getting killed or their lives ruined by a lack of preparation or missing a crucial clue or item needed to save their life. By killing and looting a simple Nopopotamus hanging out at Lake Ciel, you end up causing quite a bit of strife for a Nopon at the local Caravan who was planning on buying a wedding dress and proposing to his fiance. He was waiting for his friend and that Nopopotamus to arrive at the caravan so he would finally have the money needed to buy the dress, and give her a nice ring as a proposal as well. Instead, he's forced to take a loan from a local Loan Shark and deal with the consequences of not paying up in time. Fortunately, you help him get around the issue.

Optional Stealth
 Xenoblade Chronicles X (Video Game) / int_80580ffe
comment
Optional Stealth: A limited but still useful version: the dual swords Art Shadowrunner makes the character untargettable by enemies, which not only means that they can't be targetted in battle, but also makes the character untargettable out of battle as well, preventing the enemy from attacking you even if they'd normally see or hear you. This allows you to target an enemy without engaging it, use the Art, cancel the targetting and run past any Beef Gate that might otherwise One-Hit Kill you on your way to your destination or quickly grab whatever treasure they might be guarding. While this is normally limited by the fact that Shadowrunner is a TP art, you can just use another dual swords Art Blood Sacrifice to gain an instant 1000 TP on command at the cost of half of your current HP, which you can just quickly recover back by the virtue of not being currently in battle. There are also augments that reduce the likelihood of detection.

Small Role, Big Impact: The Ghosts only appear in the opening cutscene as one side in the war that destroys Earth and later as the side that attacks the White Whale, causing it to crash on Mira. None of the plot would happen without them, but they aren't even named in the game with the name "Ghost" comming from the game's Japanese artbook.

Background Music Override
 Xenoblade Chronicles X (Video Game) / int_80f38afe
comment
Background Music Override: This the priority order of background enemy music: Wildlife creature fought on foot < Wildlife creature fought with a Skell < Ganglion or Ganglion-related creature fought on foot < Ganglion or Ganglion-related creature fought with a Skell < The ambush theme (when it finishes it reverts to the relevant song) < Tyrant < Superboss < Telethia. There are other battle themes, but they're tied to bosses from story chapters, Affinity missions and the like, so there's no way to test which themes they can override (though it's implied this includes all of them except Telethia's). Flying with a Skell will trigger the music "Don't Worry", replacing the current area's theme unless an enemy is fought. However, this isn't the case for the Divine Roost, the secret area located in the northernmost field of Noctilum; that place's theme is heard whether you're on foot or piloting your Skell.

Humanity's Wake: Humanity, as we know it, went extinct when the Earth was destroyed. The Lifehold, which is said to contain humans who are in stasis, actually contains a liquid pool of genetic material for creating new humans. The ending reveals that when the White Whale crash-landed on Mira, the computers containing humanity's collective memories was destroyed: as such, all that remains of humanity are the "mimeosomes", androids created in humanity's likeness.

Gainax Ending: The Stinger shows us that the database in the Lifehold that was supposed to be storing everyone's consciousnesses was destroyed all along, raising the question then of how any of the humans could possibly still be alive. In addition, Lao somehow survived the final battle and washes up on a beach somewhere back in either his mim or original human body, and is found by someone. There's also the implication that Lao may no longer be Lao, but some new entity that is the result of fusing Lao and Luxaar's minds together.

BFG: Characters in the Shield Trooper job class can be equipped with gatling guns and gain range and accuracy bonuses while using them. While Psycorruptors/Masterminds use ray guns that're so bulky that they're more like proton packs. The "Retic" class of Sniper Rifles from Grenada Galactic Group are surprisingly large compared to the other weapons of its class. While most rifles fit over the right shoulder, Retics cover the entire back and are nearly as big as the Rayguns and Gatling guns. The Skells can be outfitted with far greater firepower, such as the "Super Weapons"; especially the Antimatter Round, Zenith Cannon, and the Skell-sized Hexad Partican most of all (seen @1:41-2:40). Most Skell Sidearms, while reasonably proportioned for them, are still assault rifles and shotguns the size of a human.

Cap
 Xenoblade Chronicles X (Video Game) / int_834427cd
comment
Cap: To somewhat balance the game, there are a couple of things to keep in mind: Your party and Skell levels max out at level 60. Enemies in the world, Tyrants especially, can go up to the high 90s. Preparation, teamwork and strategy are needed to close the gap. Your BLADE rank caps at 10. There are 16 Classes to Max cap. The maximum experience you'll get against 1 enemy is 9,999. This is blatantly done to minimize exploits of reaching the level cap, which requires 451,900 total experience points. However, this doesn't stop players from getting to Level 60 quickly due to defeating Joker, the Unknowable, which always generates 9,999 Experience every time.

comment
Logical Weakness: Large enemies and machines are especially vulnerable to gravity-based attacks. The bigger they are, the harder they fall, after all. In addition, wearing bulky armor reduces your defenses against gravity attacks — it's heavy, after all. Insectoids and Theroids are often vulnerable to thermal attacks. Living beings are vulnerable to Kill It with Fire, which makes sense.

With Catlike Tread: No matter how much you run, stomp, jump, or fly around, as long as you don't step into an enemy's aggro range, they'll never notice you, so sneaking around them can turn into this at times. Augments exist to crank this trope up to eleven as well, reducing aggro range of enemies.

Invented Linguistic Distinction
 Xenoblade Chronicles X (Video Game) / int_843bc349
comment
Invented Linguistic Distinction: It's implied that the various alien races encountered on the planet Mira have their own languages, but an unexplained phenomenon on the planet translates them all, so we mostly end up getting everyone speaking the same language in the same way. Some quirks still manage to make their way through though, such as the Ma-Non tendencies to repeat conjunctions or phrase sentences as questions, or the many oddities of the ever present Nopon dialect. Professor B is an aversion to this: He has a language that the translator simply can't comprehend so some of his words end up being unintelligible. A clear example of this is his name which comes out as "B°&7k%±|".

Super Mode

comment
Super Mode: Overdrive is both this for the characters and the Skells. By sacking 3,000 TP, the characters temporarially gain a boost in attack power and the ability to spam their arts with little cooldown. When you first get it, it's a tad bit Awesome, but Impractical since the TP cost is rather steep and it doesn't last very long, but once you reach end game, through proper use of TP Gain augments and certain art sets, it's very possible to permanently stay in Overdrive mode for the rest of the fight after you activate it.

Treacherous Quest Giver
 Xenoblade Chronicles X (Video Game) / int_844c1f3b
comment
Treacherous Quest Giver: There are a lot of examples of quest-givers that wind up turning on Rook, but the main story example is Lao, who starts two Story Missions (Chapter 6 and Chapter 9, specifically) and is revealed to be The Mole. On the sub-quest side, there are Fosdyke and Moorhouse, who feign being the victims of a cover-up, but turn out to have been in on the plan the entire time. That same quest is later followed up with Ga Bewhe, who feigns helping the player in giving out vital information, but then betrays them and Adolphus and takes all the cash reward for herself. Her intentions were pure though, as a follow up on the quest reveals that she spent all the money on medicine for her people and quickly became known as the "Wrothian Robin Hood". In addition, if you visit the mountain northeast of FN 312 in Oblivia while it rains, you can find Ga Bewhe and she'll explain herself and give you a cut of the money. Then there's the hindsighted example of Alex, who is a xenophobic and genocidal terrorist. Depending on the player's actions, there's also the more domestic examples of either Leroy or Loda and De Ezich, where the player doesn't follow through with the quest giver's demands and the quest giver attacks you out of anger. Nobody gets seriously hurt though.

Superboss
 Xenoblade Chronicles X (Video Game) / int_8454f523
comment
Superboss: Much like its predecessor, the game has numerous tyrants that breach the level cap of 60. The most powerful Tyrant is the level 99 monster Telethia, the Endbringer. It's first shown in a cutscene near the end of Chapter 6, and is later challenged in a Zero-Effort Boss fight in an Affinity mission ("The Nopon Heir"). The real battle comes during the normal mission "A Fateful Choice". There's also Neilnail Albus and Neilnail Furvus, a pair of Skells fought in the 'Twin Dolls of Mystery' Time Attack mission. They were originally supposed to be a story boss, but that plot thread was scrapped. The Global Nemeses, Telethia Plume and Yggralith Zero, put an interesting spin on this. They appear on the online mission list when a certain amount of multiplayer tasks have been completed, but instead of beating them, you're supposed to just deal as much damage as possible to them within 8 minutes (or until you die three times). This takes away from an absolutely massive healthpool shared across every player meaning thousands of players need to work together over the course of about a real time week to actually kill either of them. Completing the game adds five powerful Tyrants to the world: Dadaan, the Strongest Prone, who summons his squad and will scrap your Skell with his bazooka if you try to use one against him; Lugalbanda, the Wanderer-King, which can debilitate you with Eye Beams and summon ovis to eat for healing; Gradivus, the Headless Emperor, a Barrier Change Boss millesaur with a permanently destroyed neck and 100 million HP; Leva'el, the Terminus, a Xern that summons squads of enemy Skells and Satellis units and has a One-Hit Kill Kill Sat attack; and Nardacyon, the Shadowless, a souped-up version of the Chapter 7 boss and a Lightning Bruiser extraordinaire that is summoned if you try to fight its pilot Nahum, the Red Hare while you're in a Skell. Some of these Tyrants drop unique weapons or special augments that add reflect effects to certain auras and Overdrives, and most of them drop unique holofigures. Also found in the postgame are several non-Tyrant mission bosses at or over level 60, such as Blood Despair, the Gleaming Sphinxes, Ozuchi Caladar, and Nopopon Incarnate.

Random Number God
 Xenoblade Chronicles X (Video Game) / int_869ffa6b
comment
Random Number God: Weapon Stability is definitely something that is not self-explanatory at first glance. What it actually is is a range modifier that adds or subtracts from the base attack value of the weapon. Weapons with high stability (lower numbers) are desirable because their damage output is very consistent. However, Weapons with low stability (higher numbers) can inflict more damage but at the risk of inflicting very weak hits if you're unlucky. Stabilizer traits and augments allow a player to remain on the safe side of damage output whereas Destabilizer traits and augments offer a "high-risk, high-reward" fighting style to those that want to take their chances. "Jarosch, the Sensational" is possibly the worst example of a Tyrant that you'll never find in your game unless you look up a guide. It becomes even more annoying if you're trying to collect it's Holofigure. Jarosch's spawn point is on a cluster of giant, red flowers growing on an arching tree in Rustpool Banks which will not activate unless you step directly inside it since it has a very short trigger distance. The huge catch here is that Jarosch shares that spawn point with a Jade Saltat which has a higher chance of appearing. So expect to do lots of reloading to get that very elusive tyrant to appear.

 Xenoblade Chronicles X (Video Game) / int_8741b74
comment
The longswords are basically this in all but name and are widely regarded as the strongest weapon type in the game, due to having an extremely powerful damage-boosting aura in Offensive Stance, a multitude of special and powerful weapons dropped exclusively by specific tyrants and an absurdly strong tension art in Blossom Dance, which on top of possessing one of the highest damage multipliers in the game ignores the enemy's damage resistances, meaning everything is going to be feeling equal amounts of pain from it, even the superbosses. However, while acting like Katanas, they rarely ever look like them, and typically resemble broadswords. So they are definitely Playing With This Trope.

Always a Bigger Fish: The rather humiliating fact that the Ganglion are, according to the Ma-Non, little more than a run of the mill crime syndicate doing some dirty work for the Samaar Federation. Earth was basically destroyed not by the brunt of the Samaarian forces, but by thuggish stooges. Descendants of the mythical founders of the Samaar Federation or not Humans are very far from being on top of the food-chain, whether on Mira or beyond. Chapter Six sees the party surrounded by three copies of the chapter boss, until a goddamn Telethia drops from the sky and rips all three apart.

Rocket-Tag Gameplay: Post-game bonus bosses can certainly feel like this. Even with Skells, the strategy for a few of them can boil down to "use high powered attacks and an Overdrive extension abuse set to flatten them as soon as possible" or "die horribly in the first five seconds".

Kill All Humans
 Xenoblade Chronicles X (Video Game) / int_8b1a664
comment
Kill All Humans: The aliens (well, some of them, anyway) that destroyed Earth have this as their motivation. They repeatedly state that "all Earth-aliens must die!" and any attempts at diplomacy are shut down instantly. The only reason they give is that humanity is a "blight" that must be "cleansed". We don't learn their real reasons until the very end of the game: the species that leads the Ganglion can be killed by human DNA. Human bodies are completely, lethally toxic to them. The Ganglion were engineered as a Servant Race to the Samaarians, who built in a weakness to their DNA in case the Ganglion ever rebelled... and humanity are the descendants of the original Samaar species.

comment
A recurring question in the story is where the line between survival, justice, and genocide begins and ends. While this lesson is best shown in the main story, there are a number of subplots that tackle it as well. For example, there's a side mission where you can choose whether or not to kill baby suids in their nest. The orders were to slaughter them all, but Rook hesitates to do so. If you let them live, the Quest Giver, Carl, tells you he respects your choice and says he'll handle the report. Everything seems fine until later where you find out those suids you spared are now slaughtering many of your fellow Blades.

Wham Episode: Chapter 5, in which Cross gets their arm blown off, revealing blue blood and metal servos. Chapter 8, in which the Ganglion attack NLA and successfully steal The Vita. Chapter 11, in which Lao is revealed to be a traitor and steals an experimental Skell, The Prog Ares, and the revelation that the selection process for who made it aboard the White Whale wasn't as fair as previously thought. Chapter 12. Nearly everything, but especially the realization that the internal structure of the Lifehold Core was destroyed upon crash-landing, and yet the mimeosomes that sustain the physical life of humans still work just fine.

Cliff Hanger

comment
Cliffhanger: While humankind's immediate future on Mira is secure, it turns out that the Lifehold control system was destroyed during atmospheric entry. Everyone should have died months ago, but something about the planet prevented that. Additionally Lao's alive, and has seemingly recovered a flesh and blood body. What any of this means will need at least one sequel to explain (and the game's follow-ups, Xenoblade Chronicles 2 and 3, opted for presenting different stories on their own).

Red Mage: When it comes to stats, Blast Fencers and Galactic Knights have a global boost to them, meaning that there won't be any one of them that will go to what the Drifter has or worse. If the Drifter can be made The Ace due to its fifth skill slot, the Galactic Knight can be considered a close second as all of it's stats are boosted evenly. Obviously, the class is the second option for fully ranked-up Enforcers, which is the game's mage class.

Precursors: The resident Precursor race was known as Samaar, who are said to have come into this universe from someplace else soon after its creation. The civilization they founded, the Samaar Federation, still exists in the present day, and is stated to control a radius of over 6 million light-years (which means it spans many galaxies, including the Milky Way and Andromeda). The game is rather ambiguous on whether the original Samaarians are still around, they're never directly said to have died out or disappeared, but everyone speaks of them in the past tense, and humanity is revealed to be their direct biological descendants.

For comparison, Telethia, the Endbringer, has about a tenth of that.

Battle Amongst the Flames

comment
Battle Amongst the Flames: The battle against Ga Jiarg and his group of Wrothian warriors in Chapter 9 will suddenly shift to having firey brimstone raining down from the sky as the battle goes on. The battle happens in Sylvalum, where that kind of weather does not happen (it does happen naturally on the nearby Cauldros). The explanation is that the battle between Elma's party and Ga Jiarg's warriors was so intense that they lit the surrounding environment on fire... or something. Interestingly, this isn't the final boss, and no other boss in the game has such a weather shift as part of their battle.

Artificial Stupidity
 Xenoblade Chronicles X (Video Game) / int_940a5958
comment
Artificial Stupidity: Teammate AI mistakes are much more noticeable in this game than in the previous. Here are some examples: An AI teammate piloting a Skell seldom manages to be able to bind an enemy for more than a second. For reference, how long an enemy can be subject to the bind debuff is determined by the QTE system much like how Soul Voices work, so it isn't too hard to begin with. Teammates cannot identify an enemy's reflect barrier, meaning that they'll often just keep damaging themselves with an attack element the enemy is reflecting. Teammates can't recognize terrain properties, meaning that they will charge into deep water (where they can't fight back), stand on damaging surfaces, position themselves to be knocked off cliffs, and take no advantage of inclines or higher ground. Teammates will use Area of Effect attacks when only fighting a single opponent. At best just drawing in a few more opponents. At worst drawing in an otherwise non aggressive high level opponent (most famously Luciel the Eternal, a gigantic level 92 tyrant with an equally gigantic hit box who wanders through a few starting zones.) Luckily you can selectively deactivate moves which your party members will use to prevent this.

All Deaths Final

All Deaths Final: The driving purpose of the story is for humanity to regain control of the Lifehold core, which stores the consciousnesses of all the humans on board, from which they pilot their mimeosomes, and even if a given mimeosome is destroyed, the person can be revived once they get the Lifehold. However, the ending reveals that the Lifehold was flooded and destroyed from the start, meaning those who are dead will stay dead. Some alien NPCs can die on regular missions. Kun'luarb. He will die without passing on any offspring if you accept the Senirapa Water sample he found instead of imploring him to use it on himself. Alien Nation. Alex will kill the three Ma-non if you look on instead of trying to stop him.

Exact Time to Failure: The percentage counter on BLADE Tower is an indication of how much auxiliary energy remains in the Lifehold Core.

Loads and Loads of Loading: A concession to fitting such an expansive game onto a single blu-ray is that all the game assets are stored heavily compressed; combined with the Wii U's modest hard drive space precluding any large, uninvited install procedures, load times of 20-30 seconds are the norm when playing from a disc, and crop up any time you trigger a cutscene or fast-travel. As a counter to this, uncompressed asset packs can be downloaded for free from the e-shop, dramatically reducing loading times for those with the space to store them.

Damn You, Muscle Memory!
 Xenoblade Chronicles X (Video Game) / int_963086ce
comment
Damn You, Muscle Memory!: The B button is the universal Cancel command in the game. In combat, you'll be presented with command prompts that require you to hit the B button for various purposes. Depending on what you do and how fast you do it, the prompt can appear and the ring will shrink either really slow or extremely fast and everywhere in between. This alone throws your timing off because you start to expect a pattern. When fighting bosses or if a fight drags out too long, the prompts are likely to be very fast, and if they happen in rapid succession (such as Binding a large enemy with a skell), then you may accidentally cancel out of the command. This becomes a problem because you can cancel out of combat altogether, and cancel out of Overdrive immediately after you activated it. Players will end up wasting their Overdrive at some point or another because they hit B on accident.

There Are No Therapists
 Xenoblade Chronicles X (Video Game) / int_96fbeaf
comment
There Are No Therapists: Someone suffering PTSD like Lao or Irina (who lost family on Earth) and Reggie (who survived a monster attack by abandoning his unit as they were eaten) has no known outlet to cope and get a grip on their emotions. The closest NLA has are Hope and Joy, who are not certified therapists in any sense—just very good at listening and giving advice, and recommending how playing sports (tennis in particular) is good for lowering stress, respectively. From a Watsonian (in-universe) perspective, this can be Hand Waved by saying no therapists were on the White Whale or survived the crash. From a Doylist perspective, it could be because the game was made in Japan, where therapy is a very taboo and shameful thing to be made known. Another major issue with this point is that Elma flat out tells Vandham that PTSD cases like Lao and Irina are expected, considering what everyone went through on Earth, then in space, then on Mira. And there are the bombs dropped during The Reveal at the very end of the game. Considering all of this, mental health should have been a major priority on the White Whale and in New LA. Again, this can partially be Hand Waved by assuming that most of the designated therapists died (or were lost) during the crash on Mira, but that still seems odd considering that most other essential crew at least survived well enough to function.

Adventure Guild: BLADE. It's divided into 8 "Divisions" that each take on the work needed to survive on an alien planet. Each provides a minor stat bonus to players who share an online (asynchronus) multiplayer squadron. Pathfinders specialize in exploration and data probing. They recover HP at a higher rate. Interceptors specialize in combating enemies and completing missions. They do more damage with ranged weapons. Harriers specialize in fighting tyrants and enemies. They inflict more damage with melee weapons. Reclaimers specialize in treasure box recovery and data probe installation. They have increased item drop rates. Curators specialize in item collection and tyrant extermination. This Division bestows an increased critical hit rate. Prospectors specialize in resource acquisition and exploration. They have bonuses to defense. Outfitters specialize in investments towards Miranium and arms manufacturers. They provide bonuses to money earnings. Mediators specialize in quest completion and helping other BLADEs. They can earn TP when using Arts.

 Xenoblade Chronicles X (Video Game) / int_9823f7c
comment
The Wrothians are a Proud Warrior Race and a Fantasy Counterpart Culture of Samurai Japan. As such, both fighting spirit and honor are everything to them and most of their values can be directly transferred from Feudal Japan. For example, the Wrothians have great praise for one of their warriors when she takes off alone to satisfy her need for vengeance against the Ganglion, with the full knowledge that she is almost certain to die from such an attack. In Japanese, this is known as "Makoto", whereas someone who is under obligation to redeem honor or act upon an intense emotion (or, as in this case, both) is supposed to act without thinking of logic or consequences. This is why attempting to appeal to the logic of said warrior, to stop her from killing herself, will fail. However, you can stop the warrior from getting herself killed by asking her to think of her friend's feelings, which falls into another Japanese virtue called "omoiyari".

comment
Living Gasbag: Most of the flying critters in the game clearly have gas sacs keeping them aloft, ranging from the man-sized floating jellyfish to Giant Fliers like Colubrims. Even the land-bound Millesaurs (utterly enormous dinosaur things) are noted to have huge gas bags in their bodies, lightening them to the point they don't collapse under their own body weight.

Creature-Hunter Organization
 Xenoblade Chronicles X (Video Game) / int_98a67517
comment
Creature-Hunter Organization: While the military organization BLADE (acronym of "Builders of the Legacy After the Destruction of Earth") has different functions, two of the divisions that constitute it are explicit Creature Hunter Organizations: The Harriers and the Interceptors. Since the planet humanity crash-landed into (Mira) is infested by dangerous lifeforms (known as Indigens), their function is to exterminate any monster or entity that is considered too dangerous for the survival of humans. Harriers focus on the Tyrants (seemingly normal creatures that have buffed strength and skills), while Interceptors seek to kill the creatures that approach New Los Angeles.

comment
Gameplay Protagonist, Story Protagonist: Played With in regards to the player character Rook/Cross. The game's central storyline surrounding the discovery and reactivation of the Lifehold Core focuses almost entirely on Elma and Lin, who for most of the game's story missions are required party members. Elma is already a hero to New Los Angeles, and her skills back that up. This isn't to say that Rook/Cross has no importance though. The game's side missions that has you helping out and solving other conflicts squarely paints you as the hero and savior, with the recognition you deserve. Elma is the main storyline's protagonist, but the player character still helps shape the rest of the world.

Unwitting Instigator of Doom: You introduce the Ma-non to pizza. Which, to some of them, becomes very...very addictive. So much so that Army Pizza sees an explosion in sales. Which overworks Camilla, the wife and co-owner of the establishment, until she commits suicide from the stress of dealing with it and pizza-crazed Ma-non. Her death prompts her husband, Powell, to become a Serial Killer that targets Ma-non, which leads to a lot of innocent Ma-non and Powell himself being killed in the end.

The Needs of the Many
 Xenoblade Chronicles X (Video Game) / int_9a3b7208
comment
The Needs of the Many: Every citizen of NLA is expected to contribute something to the city's greater good, whether BLADE, alien, citizen or government official. In fact, during Celica's first Affinity Mission, Director General Chausson specifically says that the city cannot spare any resources whatsoever for idle citizens (especially one who eats as much as Rock). Even after Celica risks her life to become a BLADE for the sole purpose of helping Rock, Chausson still gives Rock the choice of either working in heavy industry or leaving the city outright. Every single character present (Rock, Celica, Vandham, Elma, Lin and you) applaud Chausson for how generous this decision is.

Diegetic Character Creation: This is the only Xenoblade game with a fully customisable protagonist.

A player is locked into their first choice until they complete a sidequest that gives them a pod that changes their robot body.

comment
Crippling Overspecialization: The Psycorrupter and Mastermind are support classes geared towards crippling the enemy with debuffs and bolstering the party's resistance. The downside? You'll only be able to use knives and ray guns. Plus you won't receive the stat bonuses the other job classes do. On the upside, rayguns are key to at least one Game Breaker build, and the Psycorruptor line has some skills that are useful to any class.

And then there are the "retrieve my pet" missions. The first few aren't so bad — a cat you retrieve from a waterfall in Primordia, a dog that's at the bottom of a cave a few minutes' walk from N.L.A. — but in the late game, you're left wondering how in the hell a Dalmatian made it to an enemy base, on a Floating Continent two continents and an ocean away.

Evil Counterpart: Inverted. Celica and Rock are the good counterpart to Ryyz and Dagahn respectively. Celica and Ryyz are young and powerful girls who are uncertain about humans and are more aggressive compared to Rock and Dagahn, who are much larger and less human-like. Team Elma even thought that Ryyz and Dagahn were in Noctilum, based on their signals, because Celcia and Rock were hiding in there.

The knife's arts gained after the Drifter class can be this while also being Difficult, but Awesome. Smooth Recovery makes health much less of an problem, the Brainjack + Servant Sacrifice combo makes gaining TP easy while also getting rid of non-tyrant/boss enemies, and Screamer makes fighting multiple enemies more manageable and there are even more useful arts from the Knife. Late-Game sees you make use of different, and more effective weapons, as the the knife's arts will deal with non-issues at that point.

Eldritch Location
 Xenoblade Chronicles X (Video Game) / int_9bee1a7f
comment
Eldritch Location: The planet Mira itself translates the languages of the inhabitants and allows the Mimeosomes to retain their personality. It didn't appear on any star-charts and seemingly came out of nowhere before the White Whale crashed. The Ganglion suddenly got trapped on the planet and have no idea how. Aliens/xenoforms describe a "white light" and then suddenly being transported to the planet. A NPC named Professor B claims to be a time traveler so it's possible some of these life forms could even come from different time periods. Professor B mentions the galaxies and stars have all been charted yet Mira has never appeared on them. The planet also prevents lifeforms from leaving it, and Professor B's sidequests reveal that even traveling through time wont let someone escape the planet. It causes faster mutations and individual changes to the Orphe that normally take generations of division. And as the final scene for the ending shows, it's been keeping humanity alive as part of their Mimeosomes long after the Lifehold Core's database, that holds all of humanity's consciousness, was destroyed in a flood; shortly after their crash landing, and long before they could find it, much less reclaim it.

Savage Setpiece: Tons of them. Indigens like Progens, Millesaurs, and Coronids are never going to attack unless you do so first, with rare exceptions, but given how strong and highly leveled they are, you really don't want to unless you can handle them. Telethia, the Endbringer itself is one of these. At level 99 it's the most powerful enemy in the entire game, but it's also totally non-hostile.

What Measure Is a Non-Human?
 Xenoblade Chronicles X (Video Game) / int_9c45b5a2
comment
What Measure Is a Non-Human?: A reoccurring theme throughout the game. As more Xeno lifeforms migrate to NLA, many sidequests will become available specifically dealing with human's anxieties to sharing their homes with these new races. This get pushed even further in the last chapter when it's revealed that the true human bodies were left on Earth, with the plan to have new cloned bodies serve as the substitutes. This causes a minor identity crisis with Doug, who questions if they can even be considered humans anymore if they will no longer be returning to their old bodies.

Interface Spoiler: There's an area in NLA called the Mimeosome Maintenance Center. The first time you have a Heart-to-Heart with each of your different party members, you'll receive an achievement for it. Not so much for characters that are Downloadable Content for Japan and The Master Sniper though... Heart-to-Hearts are also recorded on the map when they're found out and/or completed, and there's also an achievement for maxing out a party member's affinity, unless they're once again for said DLC characters in Japan and for Lao. During character creation, you can pick from a rather wild variety of skin, hair and eye colors, as well as some extremely non-human eyes. Moreover, nobody feels moved to comment about it if you do. This is because you're customizing your mimeosome, rather than a biological human body. Nobody comments because they all know you're a tricked-out robot, even if you don't at first. Lastly, none of the eye designs look all that natural. Chapter 3 introduces you to the Prone race with the implication that they were behind the destruction of Earth, and the base you encounter them in also has Puge and Pugilith support. Chapter 4 then formally introduces the Ganglion coalition as a whole, which the Prone are just one race in. However, the enemy index entries on the Prone, Puges and Pugiliths (accessible as soon as you engage any of them in combat) mention the Ganglion before you even hear of them in-story. On another note, the entry for the Prone lists them with "Cavern Clan" in parentheses, indicating that not only are the Prone divided into two races/clans, there are a few mission-exclusive fights with Tree Clan Prone, the aforementioned second Prone clan that becomes one of your allies. On a further note, there's an Achievement called Cavern Clan Immigration, implying the seemingly Always Chaotic Evil clan of Prone will become allies too. The "[Race] Immigration" achievements usually don't spoil much seeing as the race names won't mean much until you meet them, with two exceptions: the one listed above is one, but you get "Definian Immigration" for completing a quest that involves the Heel–Face Turn of one of their race, and it isn't until the post game that only a couple more join in. It might seem a little odd that the Enforcer healing skill is called "Repair". It removes debuffs as well as heals, so maybe it's just named a little thematically for the high-tech setting of Xenoblade X? Well, yes, but there's a bit more to it than that. This even ties in to Irina mentioning getting repaired during an early affinity mission and she herself having the art. Ever wonder why the empty bottom left section of NLA has a survey percentage number like the rest of the districts? Irina and Gwin of Team Irina can join you on missions, despite technically being part of another BLADE team, with Irina even leading it as Team Irina. They have another member, Marcus, who curiously never actually becomes playable. There's a fairly good reason for that, and it involves a lot of Ganglion missiles. One of the categories in the Enemy Index is Chimeroids, and a category of Criticals Up and Slayer augments exist for this enemy type, all of which can be seen long before you encounter them. After you defeat Luxaar for good and go through the cutscene, you earn a story achievement. But because the progress says 4/5, you know there's still more... Subverted before proceeding to Chapter 11. Both of Gwin's Affinity Missions need to be completed to begin, but nothing happens to Gwin at all. During Serial Thriller, Eleanora provides two leads on a serial killer at large. One is located in Sylvalum, the other in Oblivia. Taking one good look at the FrontierNav grid, the Affinity Chart, or simply remembering the names of every NPC will indicate which one is the correct lead.

 Xenoblade Chronicles X (Video Game) / int_9d12bbc1
comment
Foreshadowing: The very first conversation hints at a plot thread that won't be resolved until the end of the game, though most players will see it coming around the time that the game reveals the other twist that same conversation foreshadowed. Specifically, Elma tells the player that their senses need time to "reactivate", which foreshadows the Robotic Reveal. In addition, the basic healing Art is called "Repair" rather than "Heal", and in one early mission, a character mentions having "performed basic repairs" rather than "given first aid" to a wounded BLADE. In hindsight, there are a number of lines Elma makes that foreshadow the fact that she isn't human. She refers to Earth, for instance, as "your homeworld" rather than "our homeworld". Whenever she speaks of humanity's virtues, she always calls humans "them" rather than "us". She says that "you won't find Mira on any star charts"... except humanity had done no space exploration, so they wouldn't have any star charts. It's also said early on that "Without [Elma], there wouldn't have been a Project Exodus"... which is a curious thing to say about someone who, by all appearances, is a mere colonel. She even outright says that her friends will be "in for a real surprise" once they see her real body. One of the responses to L going to NLA is to reject him on account of him possibly being a Ganglion spy. There was indeed a Ganglion spy introduced in that same chapter, but it's not L.

Filler: Chapter 10 could have been taken out of the game or have been pushed to the last chapter, and nothing would have been lost. Ryyz takes a never-before mentioned weapon from the Ganglion Base to attack NLA and is stopped and killed long before she even reaches it. She's never mentioned again. The only thing taken from this chapter is a small character moment for Lin that could have been in an Affinity mission and getting Ryyz and Dagahn out of the story, which they could have done at any time.

Fridge Logicinvoked: A couple of in-universe moments: In Chapter 5, Elma finally questions just why all the aliens encountered on Mira can speak to each other without translators. An answer is never given. In the final battle, Luxaar is flabbergasted to find that the humans' Lifehold is protected by a "Trion Barrier", apparently extremely advanced technology. This leads him to wonder: where did humanity get any of their advanced tech, for that matter? There's a major gap between the tech humanity wields and what they should have available to them given their level of development. The answer is apparently that Elma (and possibly others of her people) gifted humanity that technology to survive the impending attack on Earth.

One-Man Army: Once you reach the endgame status with any combination of powerful setups, you'll essentially be this compared to the rest of the party, simply because the AI-controlled party members can't make proper use of infinite Overdrive to reach the same kind of damage values you can and they will mostly serve as a distraction to the enemy, assuming you can be bothered to bring them along to begin with. That being said, they still contribute a decent amount in endgame Skell combat, mostly because it focuses more on overpowered gear setups over abusing a single battle mechanic.

In-Universe Game Clock: Similar to the previous game, one second of gameplay is equal to one minute in-game. Certain characters and enemies only appear at certain times of day, and every area has separate tracks for day and night. Unlike the previous game, the time can only be changed at Time Stations scattered throughout the world. The time becomes locked to late night in Chapter 8 when the Ganglion attack NLA.

Genocide Backfire: The Ganglion tried to destroy humanity due to being descended from the Samaarians. This backfired before the genocide had even started, as Elma had given humanity faster than light travel and warned them about the Ganglion, and although the Ganglion destroy Earth, Luxxaar is killed by Lao and the Ganglion is, for the most part, destroyed by BLADE.

One-Hit Kill: Two of the post-ending Superbosses have attacks that can destroy instantly all Skells piloted by the party members, namely Dadaan The Strongest Prone (through a destruction command that is activated during the first ten seconds of the battle) and Leva'el the Terminus (with the Apocalypse Wand). While you can still continue fighting the former on foot, the latter will ruin your day if it triggers its deadly move, because it's far too high in the sky to be fought from the ground.

Mood Whiplash: Practically any scene that involves Tatsu. In fact, most conversations are completely serious and formal...then Tatsu makes a joke or does something silly (which may or may not be followed by a rebuttal)...after which the scene plays goes back to playing out as normal. Whenever you hear that oh-so-familiar bass guitar start playing, you know the scene has turned comedic.

Shifting Sand Land: The continent of Oblivia. It is not a totally straight desert because it does have an oasis in the middle. Instead of extreme heat or quicksands, the primary environmental hazard is an electrified sandstorm that gradually depletes the party members' HP, as well as that of the Skells if they're being piloted.

Aquatic Visgels are a common source of farming Ultra Diamond/Nebulan weapons due to them being level 66-67, the minimum level to drop items of that quality consistently, as well as being weak enemies. Just be careful about the sleeping level 97 Yggralith right next to them.

Subsystem Damage: Enemy limbs and external features can be specifically targeted. These parts have their own Hit Points, indicated by a circle over the targeted part. Destroying parts can affect enemy status, remove their ability to use certain attacks, and earn you extra loot. The same is true of Skells, lose an arm and you lose the arts attached to it. They regenerate after battle though.

Due to the Dead: Several missions that can be performed for the Tree Clan involve their version of a funeral: placing the deceased's body in a field and watching it get devoured by wild beasts. It sounds barbaric at first, but the solemnity with which the Tree Clan treat the custom and their explanations of how it ties into their belief system make it clear that it honors the dead and is of tremendous importance to them.

During Celica's Affinity Mission, we learn that her friend Rock is in danger of being kicked out of New LA because the city can't afford "idle citizens", and despite having Super-Strength, Rock doesn't want to fight. Being told that Rock will be forced out unless some sort of compensation is made, Celica asks how she can join BLADE (a paramilitary operation) and is jokingly told by the Commander that she could do a mission by herself. Celica does so without question and almost dies before Rock and the protagonists show up to save her. Later, Chief Executive Chausson still says that this isn't enough and Rock sadly announces that he's willing to fight if it means he and Celica can stay. However, Chausson says that isn't necessary because Rock can instead use his strength for heavy industry. Everyone then applauds Chausson for his generosity, and later Rock says he's hoping to one day pay Chausson back for the favor.

Deliberate Values Dissonance

comment
Deliberate Values Dissonance: Nopon see money and commerce as their highest value. While, granted, many of them will express concern over the safety of their loved ones or innocent strangers, profit to be gained from any endeavor is a very close second. To wit, when they learn that humans have a tendency to do what they want for free because they're cute, most Nopon are quick to exploit this fact. Ma Non pride themselves on science and advancement over anything else. They don't know how to fight, nor can they do manual labor—and don't want to do them, either. As such, anything they can't understand or do physically they will figure out via science and technology, and if it can't be tackled that way, it becomes either extremely interesting or frustrating to them. Further, although they pride themselves on viewing any issue scientifically, when they do get caught up in their emotions, it's completely uncontrolled. A Ma Non overcome with strong or intense feelings is one of the most dangerous things you could ever imagine. Prone are a Proud Warrior Race that sees every situation in regards to military strength and power. They measure both themselves and their allies up at every turn, and tend to show outrage if they don't like what they see. Also, Prone don't tend to forgive a slight of any kind. The Tree and Cavern clans have been at war for a long time, and neither is likely to stop feuding any time soon. Even when the Tree Clan are rescued from the Ganglion, many of them (aside from clan leaders) are still itching for payback. When some of the Cavern clan defect to NLA, the Tree and Cavern clans continue to feud, only avoiding outright violence for the most part due to both the laws of NLA and the decree of their leaders. Still, some of them will run off to fight Ganglion forces at the drop of a hat, simply because they can't stand not satisfying a grudge. The Wrothians are a Proud Warrior Race and a Fantasy Counterpart Culture of Samurai Japan. As such, both fighting spirit and honor are everything to them and most of their values can be directly transferred from Feudal Japan. For example, the Wrothians have great praise for one of their warriors when she takes off alone to satisfy her need for vengeance against the Ganglion, with the full knowledge that she is almost certain to die from such an attack. In Japanese, this is known as "Makoto", whereas someone who is under obligation to redeem honor or act upon an intense emotion (or, as in this case, both) is supposed to act without thinking of logic or consequences. This is why attempting to appeal to the logic of said warrior, to stop her from killing herself, will fail. However, you can stop the warrior from getting herself killed by asking her to think of her friend's feelings, which falls into another Japanese virtue called "omoiyari".

Soundtrack Dissonance: Incredibly dangerous (natural) locations use a slow, ominous song when you approach it, and they're usually home to particularly dangerous enemies, hazardous terrain, or Jump Scare enemies. More often than not there's a nasty Tyrant in the mix. It also plays in the Cleansing Spring, where the Dopang Caravan is located. This place is the safest place in Sylvalum, since none of the indigens there are aggressive, and the local Tyrant is a level 15 Murra.

It's a large pool of mostly pre-determined quests that tasks you with gathering certain materials or killing certain enemies, but you almost never know which ones will be available from day to day, or which ones will show up next after you complete some of them.

Unique Enemy: There's only one Millepod out of three that isn't a Tyrant in the game: the Brute Millepod you fight during the mission The Unbreakable Sword. The Qlurian Skells only appear in a certain Timed Mission and a certain Squad Mission. They otherwise might as well not exist. No wonder they call it "The Unknown Threat". A few non-Tyrant, non-mission enemy species have only one (respawning) member. Such species include Mountain Sylooth, Goliath Sylooth, Lord Xe-dom, Macho Armored Suid, Jade Saltat, and Spore Filiavent. The Squad Mission "Hunting the Headless" has a unique millesaur variant, the Greedy Millesaur, which has the color scheme of Luciel, the Eternal but is missing its neck. It's also far lower level than other millesaurs.

No OSHA Compliance: Subverted. New Los Angeles has a few unfinished bridges between some of the districts without roadblock signs to stop people from driving off. Even the bridges that do have roadblock signs don't stop some exceptionally clumsy or drunk residents from stumbling off of them. The subversion kicks in when it's explained that the liquid at the bottom of NLA is shock-absorbing gel, which keeps uncoordinated residents from killing themselves this way. However, it's still a long climb to get back up.

Tough Love

comment
Tough Love: A common theme over and over again throughout the story is that people who lose their nerve or are unfit for combat/duty/responsibility need some tough love to keep them in line. In particular are Bozé and Corwin, who both resort to physical violence against one of their soldiers suffering from PTSD in two separate missions. No other alternatives are suggested, and as stated below, There Are No Therapists in this game. The theme exists in civilian facets too, such as the newlywed husband of a Prone woman whose father-in-law says he will use tough love to toughen his son-in-law until he's fit to protect his daughter.

Temporary Online Content: Once the servers go down, a lot of content will go with it: Division Rewards such as Salvage Tickets cannot be obtained. The Global Nemeses, as well as Phanatos, the Netherlord, are gone for good, and their drops can only be obtained from the Reward Tickets obtained by completing the survey of Mira. Reward Tickets cannot be obtained very easily. Good luck finding those Crude Neilnail Masks! BLADE Scouts and Division Support are gone. Any and all achievements relating to online mode, such as doing Squad Missions or Tasks, fighting the Global Nemesis, scouting BLADEs, getting Division Support, and obtaining every Holofigure, are unobtainable. Due to the shutdown of Miiverse in November 2017, BLADE Reports can no longer be sent, and the achievements relating to them can no longer be obtained.

Normal Fish in a Tiny Pond: The Ganglion. They were one of the two factions that destroyed Earth and continue to aggressively hound human refugees on Mira. Fighting them off is a struggle and they're easily winning a war of attrition for most of the game. It's later revealed that the Ganglion are actually a criminal syndicate — and not even a major one, they're the space equivalent of thugs the real players use as hired muscle. That's just what happens when a Higher-Tech Species decide to pick on a race still figuring out spaceflight.

 Xenoblade Chronicles X (Video Game) / int_b578811d
comment
Scary Dogmatic Aliens: The Ganglion coalition, while called a crime syndicate with an exorbitant amount of political influence, are a mix of Nazis and religious fundamentalists. They have a hierarchy where the Ganglion species is the dominant race, and other species are to either serve them or be destroyed, and they seek to destroy humanity under the claim of them being a plague, which is actually a cover for the fact that humans are the legitimate descendants of their creators, the Samaarians, and Saamarian/human DNA is a failsafe against the Ganglion species. As religious fundamentalists, they not only paint the extermination of humanity as a holy mission, they worship the Samaarians like gods and have reverence for an as-yet-unseen entity known as the Great One, but given the revelations about humanity's ancestry and the Ganglion's status as an artificial servant race, it's not quite clear how much of it is genuine dogma or cultural propaganda to cover up a power grab.

Hub Under Attack
 Xenoblade Chronicles X (Video Game) / int_b5a39030
comment
Hub Under Attack: During Chapter 8, the game's Hub City (New Los Angeles) is under attack by the Ganglion military. In the duration of the event, Rook and their team have to dispatch the incoming mooks that attempt to enter the city on foot (aerial enemy forces try to attack from above, but they're being handled by the city's army offscreen). At one point, some enemies manage to get in and they have to be dealt with as well. After this chapter's completion, and provided that certain prior sidequests have been completed, you can unlock an Affinity Mission with Phog and Frye where you have to protect the city once again from incoming enemies. Finally, near the end of the game, you can unlock a normal sidequest where a friendly Prone asks you to protect the city yet again, but this time from wild creatures that approach it during their path of migration. In all these cases, it is not necessary to worry about the safety of the city proper (it's not based on Tower Defense mechanics), as enemies will always attack you instead and the challenge is based on surviving during a specific time limit (usually three to five minutes).

Double Standard
 Xenoblade Chronicles X (Video Game) / int_b6cebad3
comment
Double Standard: The armor for men and women are completely different, with women getting a variety of extremely skimpy wear. The imbalance is only somewhat alleviated by the fact that men can receive custom armor that amounts to nothing more than Sarashi, but women get a vast variety of swimsuits, Chainmail Bikinis, and Playboy Bunny outfits as well. The discrepancy is even noted in-universe, one of the people doing so being a female Ma-Non armor crafter, who explicitly asks why it is "so wonderful to let female parts flop around and not male parts". A non-negative example, depending on how you feel about censorship of jailbait. When her Affinity is high enough, Lin Lee Koo will say that she thinks of the Player Character as either a Cool Big Sis (if female) or Parental Substitute (if male). This may be due to the prevalence of the Little Sister Heroine trope in Japanese media, and thus referring to the player as a "big brother" could send the wrong messages—especially to a Western audience.

Early in the game Elma lectures the team about the differences between self-defense and being bloodthirsty when it comes to dealing with indigens. However, gameplay-wise, killing many or significant indigens doesn't impact the environment in the long run (they just spawn again upon returning to the zone) and during quests, trying to deal with indigens peacefully almost never ends well. Suffice to say, there's no moral ramifications for mass-murdering indigens.

War from Another World: The premise of the game starts with Earth getting blown up in the crossfire of two alien forces. While one of the two factions actually was trying to kill off humanity, the planet was blown up by accident before they had a chance to actually destroy it. Humanity just barely managed to escape, and most of the fleeing ships didn't even make it out of orbit.

 Xenoblade Chronicles X (Video Game) / int_b8e38fc5
comment
Metaphorically True: At face-value, Weapons that fire multiple projectiles per attack are weaker than weapons that have higher damage but fire fewer or even only one projectile. So this means you should only stick to using high damage weapons, right? Wrong. You need to take into account the number of projectiles that a weapon fires and then use the most basic equation (Damage output x number of projectiles per attack) to get the actual base damage output of the multi-shot weapon. For reasons unknown, the percentage sign in the Stability stat (which is clearly visible as day in the original Japanese version◊) was omitted in the localized versions◊. This made the Stability stat ambiguous and hard to understand in its function and importance.

comment
Break Meter: The game uses a similar system as its predecessor, but with different names. Break is changed to Stagger and Daze is changed to Stun. The other major differences is Stagger also acts as an interrupt and Topple and Stun can be forced onto the opponent without the previous, but it becomes easier to do so if you follow the chain.

Nobody Here but Us Statues
 Xenoblade Chronicles X (Video Game) / int_b9918c48
comment
Nobody Here but Us Statues: Aeviters and Cantors do this often. There are a few problems with their disguises, though: Disguised Cantors keep moving their heads with a loud clacking sound. And the Aeviters' disguises would have been perfect... if not for the fact that there are no non-Aeviter statues in the game.

Playable Epilogue
 Xenoblade Chronicles X (Video Game) / int_b9e82f09
comment
Playable Epilogue: The game continues after Chapter 12 with the quote "this story never truly ends". Completing the game unlocks new missions, new skells, new equipment, and new enemies (including the optional superbosses) you were unable to fight before. By the time you complete the main game itself, you most likely completed less than 50% of it. Have fun spending the rest of your hours getting a 100% completion. On the good side, you can play online multiplayer with less worries. However, likely as a reminder of the aforementioned quote, some things are left unfinished: You cannot get Lao back, but at least you know he's still alive. You cannot locate the unknown knight. You cannot find Ghosts in this game. You cannot eradicate the entire Ganglion race in Mira. And certain matters pertaining the supporting characters, such as those between Gwin and Irina, are left unresolved.

Sad Battle Music: "aBOreSSs", the first half of which plays during the second phase of the Prog Ares fight (hence the title's uppercase and lowercase letters splitting into 'ares' and 'BOSS'). The other half of it (which is echoed in the last note of the first part) is instead a lot more menacing, and plays for the Zu Pharg fight.

Cool Down: The main combat mechanic, like in the previous game: it functions more or less identically here, with the addition of secondary cooldowns that fill up whenever you use the type of weapon associated with that Art without using it when it's available and which greatly increase its effects the next time you use it if it's filled up all the way.

An Adventurer Is You: There are six paths to level up your characternote three at the start, each of which splits into two specialized class paths, but Arts are tied to equipped weapons, which are restricted to certain classes. Once the final tier of a path has been maxed out, you can freely equip that class' weapons and thus freely use those Arts. Conversely, skills can be freely equipped by any class. This leads to quite a large number of combinations of weapons and builds.

Last Note Nightmare: A weird, fairly downplayed example is z30huri2ba0tt12le1110, the boss theme for Rexoskell as well as Interfearance. It's an utterly terrifying, loud, unpleasant song that violently abuses Scare Chords throughout, but by far the part of it that's strangest is the ending, where it very abruptly goes from creepy orchestra to near-silence and some strange clicking noise.

comment
Jump Scare: There are quite a few enemies who are Hidden in Plain Sight, and don't become targetable until they ambush you. Mainly plant creatures, but there are others that become more prevalent once you leave Primordia. An NPC in the Admin District mentions that one BLADE member is now traumatized by the sight of flowers because she barely escaped a plant that jumped her. There are also some enemies that are just plain hidden, such as a level 65 giant Sabula tyrant in Oblivia that makes the Spice Worm look like an earthworm in comparison. Woe be to any player who doesn't think there's anything unusual about the sand on the ground looking slightly different from the rest of the area.note Sometimes if you look at the area from far away you might see it poke its head out briefly, but it's rare.

JokeWeapon
 Xenoblade Chronicles X (Video Game) / int_c0c54000
comment
Joke Weapon: In the affinity mission in which you get it, the Ramjet Rifle, a prototype weapon with Skells in mind, is treated as such in-story. For said mission, you are testing the weapon on foot against creatures in Sylvalum. Said rifle has even worse stats (aside from its amazing tension point gain for the earliest point you can access the mission) than your starter rifle. If you decide to test the rifle against the larger creature as suggested by Alexa (which is quite a challenge if you don't know how to take advantage of its hidden potential), the results of said test give everything the rifle's designer needs to know that weapon as it is would be abysmal against the things Skells are made to fight (not taking TP gain into account story-wise). Murderess's second affinity mission makes you fight against a large indigen with a high kill-count (Skells recommended for support) with a crap-stats weapon as part of a bet between unruly BLADEs (although you have the option to chicken out and let them win the bet). The weapon in question: the Scrap Duo, which unlike the Ramjet Rifle, don't have any positive traits that could turn them into a Lethal Joke Weapon. Worse yet, the weapon is flagged as an essential quest item, so you can't get rid of it from your inventory even after you complete the quest.

Hold the Line: During Chapter 8, your team has to protect the entrance to New Los Angeles from the incoming Ganglion army, which tries to invade and destroy the last bastion of humanity. For the first wave, you have to defeat any incoming enemy during three minutes, and for the second wave you have to do the same during five minutes. There's an Affinity Mission involving Fog and Frye with this gimmick (the duration of the line holding will depend on which character you choose to join during the mission (three minutes with Fog, six with Frye). Finally, there's a normal mission during the Playable Epilogue where you have to protect the city's entrance from an assortment of indigenous creatures, who were in their migration period and were inadvertedly approaching the city.

Character Death: Subverted in regards to humanity.

But then, Double Subverted when it's revealed that the Lifehold Core's systems were destroyed months ago. So all those Mimeosomes that died? It turns out those people are Killed Off for Real.

Hope Spot: All the citizens of NLA are waiting with baited breath for the day they'll finally be able to bring everyone out of stasis from the Lifehold Core and return to their biological bodies. Some citizens can't wait to see their loved ones again, especially their children, or fallen BLADE members. The Lifehold core mainframe was destroyed upon impact with Mira. All those people can never be brought back, even though the technology to recreate bodies is still functioning. While the game doesn't go into detail about it, it's pretty obvious that Chaussen, Nagi, Vandham, and the rest of the leaders in NLA will have to choose very carefully how and when they'll break the news, because some citizens are getting impatient.

Final Boss Preview: One Affinity Mission, "The Nopon Heir", requires you to go up against the game's most powerful superboss: Telethia, the Endbringer. Very thankfully, you don't actually have to defeat Telethia, just challenge it. After losing about 5% of its health it will give you the reward you need and leave, and it seems coded to not use any of its really powerful attacks during this encounter. Still, it gives you an inkling of what exactly you'll be up against when you ultimately try to fight it for real.

Broken Bridge: Between the big deal made of how Skells help exploration, and the gaping blank spot on the map representing an ocean, most players would be inclined to think the two north continents were off-limits until the plot says so. Wrong. It's quite a hike, but you can actually hoof it along an archipelago and a couple of sandbars and get there from the word go. Said archipelago is a Prone fortress, though, so be prepared to go swimming, too.

Sea of Sand
 Xenoblade Chronicles X (Video Game) / int_c689efe5
comment
Sea of Sand: Averted with the game's designated desert region of Oblivia, which despite being referred to in-game as "Sandy Butt Canyon" by Tatsu, actually has very little sand and is mostly rocky badlands. There is one area that actually is sandy, but it stands out from the rest of the continent and is a dead givaway of a trap— in this case a giant Tyrant Sand Worm. The trope is played more straight by the continent of Sylvalum. It is covered in a layer of fine, ghostly-white sand, and even has a number of regions explicitly named "sandseas" because of how sprawling and sandy they are. However, Sylvalum is actually a continental sized forest and the sand is implied at times to actually be pollen. Thus, though it fits the bill of being a sand sea, it is much more alien and surreal than other examples of this trope.

Offscreen Teleportation: Your party members are always right beside you outside of combat. If you're running across a field, they'll just be running behind. If you jump off a cliff, you sometimes see them land with you. If you climb up a steep cliff face in such a way that they can't path their way to you, they will instantly appear as soon as you get up top.

Mini-Mecha: Mechs known as "Skells" form one of the game's key gameplay mechanics. They're just over twice the size of a human pilot and can transform from a humanoid combat form into land vehicles for faster travel. Eventually, you can unlock an upgrade that enables flight.

Shout-Out
 Xenoblade Chronicles X (Video Game) / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out: X makes nods to previous Xeno- games, going all the way back to Xenogears. Other science fiction tropes and works get the nod as well. Briefly: The start of the game mimics the backstory of Xenogears as humanity flees planet Earth. One of these ships crashes on to an alien planet under less than ideal circumstances. In the prologue: Wels is the name of Elma's favorite Skell, but don't worry, the Skell isn't a mutated human. The questline for an NPC named "Professor B" not only has you build a time machine out of a luxury car, but the arms manufacturer you unlock for completing it is called "Factory 1.21", both of which are references to Back to the Future. So "Galactic Knights" use Photon Sabers, do they? Two of the Sabula Tyrants are called Atreides, the Distinguished and Gesserith, the Wileworm. According to a collectible, the White Whale had an on-board A.I. called A-HAB. The Ma-non are short, have extremely high-pitched voices, and the first three you meet respectively wear red, green, and blue. An NPC you can eavesdrop on in the hangar lounge after meeting the Ma-non speaks about trying to befriend the xenos by sticking out their index finger and telling them to phone home. "...It didn't work out like it did in the movie." Another NPC takes note of the Ma-Non's technology and expresses worry that humanity will be "Killed five times before they hit the ground" if they ever get on their bad side. The upgraded version of the Formula skell model is called the Formula Zero. One of the collectible holofigures you can decorate your barracks with, simply called "Assassin", depicts a Milsaadi doing Ezio's famous pose. Another holofigure shows a Prone chucking barrels in a familiar way. Two others depict a red Nopon jumping over a barrel and a green Nopon getting smacked in the face by one. A trio of Tyrants in Noctilum have their names and descriptions based on the main characters from Heidi, Girl of the Alps, specifically Pyotr, the Shepherd (Peter, also a shepherd), Heidi, the Lively (the titular character herself, who is very lively) and Claire, the Sheltered (Clara, who lived a sheltered life until meeting Heidi). Plenty of nods to Mecha Shows. In an Affinty mission Tatsu puts on a pair of Kamina/Gurren glasses The Goliath Piledriver superweapon is a reference to the Giga Drill Break Sakuraba Skellwear looks a lot like Eva unit pilot suits.

Elemental Tiers

comment
Elemental Tiers: By default, very few things have any resistance to the gravity element, larger enemies naturally take the most damage from it and the G-Buster series of weapons, which are the cornerstone of doing large amounts of damage early on with Skells, are gravity element. That being said, a number of strong weapons ignore enemy resistances, allowing them to do large amounts of damage by default, and on foot, ether is the preferable element to focus on if you want to see large damage numbers as there's a passive skill unique to it that increases all damage done by it by 150% at the cost of being unable to destroy appendages, and a large number of enemies weak to ether.

Video Game Caring Potential: Once it becomes apparent that some Non Player Characters can die during side quests as a result of your decisions (usually by accident), you may start being more evaluative about the decisions you make to reduce the number of preventable deaths that can occur (or prepared to Save Scum or do some research). Like the previous game, there's also an incentive to preserve positive relations between characters, and the wrong choice in missions (and in Affinity Shifts too) can send those relations downhill.

Falling Damage
 Xenoblade Chronicles X (Video Game) / int_c9cab11
comment
Falling Damage: A justified aversion; unlike its predecessor, this game lets you fall from any height whatsoever without even getting a scratch. Early in the story, Elma suggests to the Player Character that they jump off a hundred-foot-plus-high cliff with the only concern being the tougher monsters on the beach below. It's the first hint that neither she nor the main character are normal Humans.

It can also be interpreted that they're at least somewhat bi, because they also have some praise for women they finds cute/attractive also, although this isn't brought up nearly as often.

Generic Cuteness
 Xenoblade Chronicles X (Video Game) / int_cc6d95ac
comment
Generic Cuteness: A common criticism of the game is how generic, artificial or "doll-like" the characters all look. Most of them have a generically cute aesthetic, especially women (there's somewhat more variance with men—particularly older characters like Vandham and Nagi). This is because the humans are mimeosomes and are thus supposed to look slightly artificial. This doesn't apply to alien characters like Celica or Elma (in her real body), however.

Negative Space Wedgie: There is something weird going on around the planet Mira. People keep crashing on the planet for no adequately explained reason, those that repair their tech enough to try to go off-planet always have something mysteriously go wrong, everyone can understand each other's speech despite speaking different languages, and the planet itself is not on any known star charts... even those made by civilizations that have mapped out entire galaxies. One highly advanced scientist confirms the existence of some kind of space-time anomaly around the planet but is unable to explain anything about it.

Telethia the Endbringer features a heaping helping of this trope, made more blatant because Telethia cannot speak and thus cannot explain its actions. It supposedly exists to obliterate any form of life it deems "impure". Exactly what criteria it uses to determine this is wholly unknown. While the psychotic and rabid Tainted are obvious as to why they should be killed, Telethia also targets the Orpheans, apparently due to the "Ovah" virus they all carry. At the same time, it leaves the humans alone, despite their bodies being mechanical imitations of living creatures.

Take Your Time: The degradation of the Lifehold's core only increases when you decide to continue with the main story. Nagi has a busy schedule as a Secretary, but you would forget about that if you have him in the party for 24+ in-game hours straight. This also applies to the other BLADEs who have do other missions on their own time, yet you can have them in party for a very long time. Even though the Ganglion are mercilessly attacking the shields of the Lifehold Core, they'll never break through until you go in.

comment
Debate and Switch: The Affinity Mission "New in Town" involves Rock, an Actual Pacifist who does not want to fight, due to traumatic events which led to him killing everyone in his friend, Celica's, hometown. Despite this, Director General Chausson presses Rock to fight, because Rock is otherwise contributing nothing to help out the city, and according to Chausson, NLA can't afford idle citizens. To prevent Rock from being forced to leave, Celica goes on a suicidal mission to become a BLADE and almost gets herself killed as a result, only being saved by Elma and Rock, who wrestles with an indigen to save Celica and stays out of the way while Team Elma kills it. Despite her efforts, Chausson still isn't satisfied. Rock finally submits to the Director's insistence to fight, but it turns out that Chausson has decided Rock can just as well pay his debt to society by working in heavy industry. As a result, though the mission ostensibly ends with Rock remaining a pacifist, the fact that he only moments ago relented to fight out of guilt is brushed aside. As is the fact that he was doing it to save Celica, who is now an active BLADE soldier despite being less capable in combat than he is. The end result is that his pacifism is treated as a character quirk that can only be afforded because it's now convenient to do so.

Subverted Suspicion Aesop
 Xenoblade Chronicles X (Video Game) / int_d23ca4cc
comment
Subverted Suspicion Aesop: A recurring question in the story is where the line between survival, justice, and genocide begins and ends. While this lesson is best shown in the main story, there are a number of subplots that tackle it as well. For example, there's a side mission where you can choose whether or not to kill baby suids in their nest. The orders were to slaughter them all, but Rook hesitates to do so. If you let them live, the Quest Giver, Carl, tells you he respects your choice and says he'll handle the report. Everything seems fine until later where you find out those suids you spared are now slaughtering many of your fellow Blades. Another more short-term example is during The Celestial Three quest. When you finally confront Briggs, you either have the option of sparing him and listen to his side of the story or finishing him off anyway when he's defeated. Sparing him means that you have to fight Moorhouse, Fodsyke, and Briggs rather than fighting just Moorhouse and Fodsyke. The vast majority of the time, sparing anyone that attacks you in cold blood during missions is a bad idea. The one exception is Roselle, who offers a bribe and never causes trouble again.

In Spite of a Nail: Some decisions in missions don't affect the long-term outcome at all, or only affect the reward prize. Examples can include deciding which materials to gather for someone (and it turns out they need the other anyway), failing to kill a target and only that target, failing to kill a target within a specified time, which character to side with, or deciding to look the other way from an incident and accepting a bribe.

Developer's Foresight: Each team member has unique dialogue for recruitment during each story chapter. After completing the Celeste Three arc and in turn, get nothing on account of a Wrothian snatching the entire vault under everybody's noses, visiting the mountain north of FN 312 in Oblivia while it rains will allow you to get at least a part of the gold as an apology and explanation from said Wrothian. If you didn't complete the segment recon for talking to Lao at his hangout spot before he permamently leaves the team, the segment will automatically complete itself upon completing the game. The Enemy Index's placement of the human enemies isn't in the Humanoids section, but rather Mechanoids.

comment
Schmuck Bait: Every continent has enemies who just so happen to look like rocks or the local foliage, who just "happen" to be hiding out near tempting resource nodes or shortcuts. A cove in Noctilum has a mysterious wrecked robot half-submerged in the water. Go ahead. Investigate it. See what happens. Thought you could get revenge on it once you had the Ares 90? Hope you have reflection negation gear, or else this trope will happen to you again. In Sylvalum's North Silent Sandsea, you can find a large ring of tooth-like protrusions sticking out of the sand. Get closer and you can see that the innermost ring is opening and closing slightly. Go ahead, walk on the mysteriously mouth-like structure. The first Filiavent the player is likely to encounter at first looks like a very large, ornate flower, but the top parts are swaying around and the game plays ominous music if you get close. It's not quite as dangerous as the previous two examples, but it's still likely to be a Total Party Kill until you get a more powerful Skell. There's a probe spot in Oblivia set on a floating island in the middle of a bottomless chasm. One wouldn't be blamed for thinking it could be reachable by driving a Skell off a ramp. It can only be accessed with a flight module, and even then, said probe spot needs one's mechanical skill to be level 5.

Dynamic Loading

comment
Dynamic Loading: The game uses this for its vast overworld - the only loading screens are for entering or leaving your room, for loading the game up, and for using fast travel. Speeding around in a Skell reveals the Dynamic Loading Fail at times, though, especially if you rocket around to New Los Angeles from a significant distance to the east - the basic blurry textures loaded don't match the actual geometry, and the next 10-15 seconds will load everything.

comment
Square-Cube Law: The game has a lot of very large animals wandering the surface of Mira. Most of the enormous creatures are shown to have very large organic gasbags keeping them aloft, like living blimps, but the Millesaurs and Coronids are just plain gigantic four-legged dinosaurs. The in-game fluff explains the Millesaurs as having a surprising amount of their bulk consisting of an internal buoyant gas sac, which means they are a lot lighter than they look.

Our Monsters Are Weird
 Xenoblade Chronicles X (Video Game) / int_d42fb539
comment
Our Monsters Are Weird: Saltats are supposed to be birds, but they look more like huge primates with hand-shaped wings, a masked face, a huge trumpet horn on the back of their head, and colorful eye markings on their wings. They also constantly make horn noises, make spinning dances when not in battle, make Bring It gestures, and generally clown around. Liceors are similar, but have a more ethereal and bright design. Gerrids look like an oversized flea with a nautilus's shell, except the shell is bright red or green, and the tentacles are more insectoid, and they have long, spindly legs. They also generate electricity and have a habit of jumping around and happily flailing about on the ground. And according to the Enemy Index, the males incubate eggs inside themselves. Millesaurs are massive sauropods with a praying mantis-like head and a volcano built into their backs. The mantis head isn't even their real head either; the real head is actually in their chest cavity behind their false neck. The same principle applies to their Sylvalum counterparts, the Coronids, which have a large eyeball inside their neck.

We Cannot Go On Without You: When the playable character gets KO'd a thirty-second timer starts counting down. Your allies can finish off the enemy themselves during that time, and if they do the battle is won; they'll also revive you if possible (though this isn't terribly likely since it requires 3000 TP, which the AI rarely conserves). If the timer runs out, everyone else falls, or you simply choose to skip it, you are, again, sent back to a nearby landmark.

Tech Points: Two varieties, CP and BP: the former are accumulated from killing enemies along with EXP and are used to level up your classes in order to learn more Arts and passive skills, while the latter are received from missions, finding new base camps, and performing Field Actions on the various alien artifacts and flora you can find and are used to level up said Arts and passive skills.

Starter Equipment: Any time the Player Character switches classes, they're given a free set of the most basic weapons that class can equipnote Yes, you could farm money like this... but these items go for less than 20 credits, when the stuff you want to save up for tops 200,000 by midgame. An odd example of this trope kicking in well into the game: your first Skell. It's given to you for free, and it's the only level 20 frame in the game. Meaning you're not getting a party full of them, its stats are nothing gamechanging, and it can only equip a fairly basic suite of weapons. It's still thrilling to explore with while you level everyone and save up for better gear, though.

Call a Smeerp a "Rabbit": Lampshaded. A couple of times, Tatsu mentions Earth terms, and at least once Lin calls him out. ("How do you know what an X is?") He also refers to the Wrothians as "Kitty-cat people", when cats are not native to Mira whatsoever. However, there are cats in NLA (brought from Earth), and Tatsu might be familiar with them by the time the Wrothians are encountered. (In fact, cats are some of the pet options for your barracks.)

Anti-Frustration Features
 Xenoblade Chronicles X (Video Game) / int_d6f284a3
comment
Anti-Frustration Features: Story and affinity missions cannot be aborted once they are started. However, if a certain required enemy proves too difficult during said mission (such as defeating a large creature with a prototype Skell rifle on foot), the game offers to lower that enemy's level a bit after you die against it a certain number of times. If a mission requires a certain piece of gear to be equipped, anyone in your party can do so - no need to switch classes and handle it personally. The game remembers the arts and skills you had equipped for each class. If you switch paths to experiment and then decide to switch back, you don't have to waste time re-equipping everything. The battle UI directly tells you which side of a targeting enemy you're currently facing. This means you can reliably know when to use Arts that have direction-based effects. In Xenoblade Chronicles 1, you had to guess based on the enemy's model. Every single material dropped by any enemy in the game, even superbosses, can be bought directly by redeeming them with Reward Tickets, which you get whenever you or anyone else in your online squad completes a squad task, which typically involve simply collecting large amounts of materials or defeating certain types of enemies. You still need to hunt down collectable materials the old way, but they're much easier to find in large amounts and to respawn than in the previous game. Your AI-controlled party members tend to wreck their Skells. However, they always eject their Skells perfectly, preventing them from wasting Skell insurance if there's any left. The AI in general isn't nearly as effective as a player can be; they don't acknowledge high ground or environmental hazards, and have a difficult time binding larger enemies in their Skells. Fortunately there are commands that you can use to circumvent this, such as gathering the party around the player or having the party avoid binding in order to let the player do it instead. Aggressive enemies won't attack you if you're ten levels higher than them, unless they're an ambush type enemy who springs up when you approach it, like Mortifoles and Thalluses. Tyrants will also do this. If enough time passes between play sessions, every Skell's fuel is fully restored, allowing you to use all of it up right before you plan to end your current play session. You can't save after crossing the Point of No Return, to prevent you from being totally hosed if you went into the battle underprepared and unable to defeat the final boss. There's a separate slot for equipping fashion gear. This allows you to equip a character with gear which only influences how they appear without effecting their stats. This allows for customization without having to worry about your character's appearance or stats. Affinity missions required to progress through the main story (namely Lao's and Gwin's) only require one heart's worth of affinity to start at most, compared to the three or four hearts required for later, optional affinity missions.

Lethal Lava Land: Cauldros. The continent serves as the largest host for the Ganglion headquarters, thus overlapping with Remilitarized Zone; even without the dangerous monsters lurking within, the place is harmful due to the frequent rain of volcanic debris. Because of the high amount of lava, using a Skell to explore it is recommended.

Saved From Their Own Honor
 Xenoblade Chronicles X (Video Game) / int_d83104d2
comment
Saved From Their Own Honor: At one point, the Wrothian (the game's Japanese Fantasy Counterpart Culture) Anti-Villain Ga Buidhe decides to disobey her master Ga Jiarg and kill the protagonists, intending to protect him and her people against them despite his willingness to negotiate. When she fails, she tells the protagonists that she's willing to pay with her life, until Ga Jiarg arrives and says that, despite her disobedience, her death isn't necessary. During Celica's Affinity Mission, we learn that her friend Rock is in danger of being kicked out of New LA because the city can't afford "idle citizens", and despite having Super-Strength, Rock doesn't want to fight. Being told that Rock will be forced out unless some sort of compensation is made, Celica asks how she can join BLADE (a paramilitary operation) and is jokingly told by the Commander that she could do a mission by herself. Celica does so without question and almost dies before Rock and the protagonists show up to save her. Later, Chief Executive Chausson still says that this isn't enough and Rock sadly announces that he's willing to fight if it means he and Celica can stay. However, Chausson says that isn't necessary because Rock can instead use his strength for heavy industry. Everyone then applauds Chausson for his generosity, and later Rock says he's hoping to one day pay Chausson back for the favor. One side mission has another Wrothian who wants to go on a Suicide Mission to fight against Ganglion forces. The only way to talk her down from this is to remind her that dying isn't what her friend would want.

Unusually Uninteresting Sight: No one comments on your appearance (save gender), no matter how crazy your Player Character gets. After all, it's not your REAL body. At the same time, no one bats an eye when you park your skell on main street while you chat up the locals. This one is sadly an engine limitation, vehicles and shrubbery lack collision detection to prevent Grand Theft Auto-style antics. On the other hand, this also means that everything that DOES have collision detection is unbreakable, meaning that you can leave your Skell kneeling down on some random park bench or chain-link fence without damaging it in the slightest. After you've found half of the lobsters for the Blood Lobster quest, the villain himself detonates a lobster in the commercial district after tricking some random citizens to gather at the spot. Nobody even mentions the explosion or the loss of life.

Video Game Perversity Potential: The Character Creation allowed the ability to adjust a female PC's height and breast size. Fearing this trope would ensue, the breast slider was removed for the international release. However, while some of the armor pieces where changed to be more modest (most notably the swimsuits) many people still outfitted the female party members with the skimpiest or skin-tight armor the game had, most notably the 13-year old Lin.

Lethal Joke Item: The Ramjet Rifle. You get to keep it after field-testing it for a weapons researcher, who decides against developing it further as most of its stats are absolute garbage (for instance, it has an attack of one at a point in the game where other weapons of the same type will be closer to ten). The key word being most: While its attack is awful and it has an absurdly long cooldown, it also gives 300 TP per attack, meaning with the right build you can practically spam powerful attacks that would otherwise take a while to build up TP for.

Murderess's second affinity mission makes you fight against a large indigen with a high kill-count (Skells recommended for support) with a crap-stats weapon as part of a bet between unruly BLADEs (although you have the option to chicken out and let them win the bet). The weapon in question: the Scrap Duo, which unlike the Ramjet Rifle, don't have any positive traits that could turn them into a Lethal Joke Weapon. Worse yet, the weapon is flagged as an essential quest item, so you can't get rid of it from your inventory even after you complete the quest.

Someone suffering PTSD like Lao or Irina (who lost family on Earth) and Reggie (who survived a monster attack by abandoning his unit as they were eaten) has no known outlet to cope and get a grip on their emotions. The closest NLA has are Hope and Joy, who are not certified therapists in any sense—just very good at listening and giving advice, and recommending how playing sports (tennis in particular) is good for lowering stress, respectively. From a Watsonian (in-universe) perspective, this can be Hand Waved by saying no therapists were on the White Whale or survived the crash. From a Doylist perspective, it could be because the game was made in Japan, where therapy is a very taboo and shameful thing to be made known.

Job System: Each character is pre-designated to one of the game's 15 available job classes, but your player created avatar is the only one allowed to switch between them. The one you choose will determine which weapons you'll be able to equip and which Arts and Skills you can learn. Once your skill level in any job class reaches max rank, it will be marked "Mastered", allowing you to keep all Arts you've acquired from it and use the weapons associated with it in any class.

On the sub-quest side, there are Fosdyke and Moorhouse, who feign being the victims of a cover-up, but turn out to have been in on the plan the entire time. That same quest is later followed up with Ga Bewhe, who feigns helping the player in giving out vital information, but then betrays them and Adolphus and takes all the cash reward for herself. Her intentions were pure though, as a follow up on the quest reveals that she spent all the money on medicine for her people and quickly became known as the "Wrothian Robin Hood". In addition, if you visit the mountain northeast of FN 312 in Oblivia while it rains, you can find Ga Bewhe and she'll explain herself and give you a cut of the money.

Contrived Coincidence: It seems incredibly unlikely that EVERYONE in NLA would avoid mentioning being robots before it is revealed in the most dramatic fashion.

Mid-Season Twist: Chapter 5 ends with your player character's arm being blown off by an enemy mech, leaving behind a metal stump filled with wires and leaking a blue liquid.

This is also where we learn what the countdown on the BLADE Tower is for — it shows the Lifehold Core's remaining power, and if it hits zero before it can be recovered, everyone dies.

comment
Casual Danger Dialogue: Subverted in that it doesn't take place during combat, but after you finish a battle, the characters often say something as if the fierce battle they just fought hadn't happened at all. There's a conversation for each and every character with almost everyone else. Even the voice of your own character determines the subject.

Lost Colony
 Xenoblade Chronicles X (Video Game) / int_e04ffce3
comment
Lost Colony: The game takes place on a Lost Colony called Mira, which was established when a colony ship from Earth crash-landed on the planet. The reason the colony ship launched at all is because Earth itself was destroyed in a clash between two warring alien civilizations. It's speculated that other colony ships may have survived and founded their own colonies, but there's no way to confirm this.

Battle Theme Music: There are a lot of boss themes. Most of the Tyrants use 'Uncontrollable', the first few story bosses as well as most of the Sidequest bosses use 'z37b20a13t01t08le'note z37 battle, several later story bosses use 'NO.EX01', the boss of Chapter 11 uses the first half of 'aBOreSSs'note (spoilers) Ares Boss, the boss of Chapter 10 uses the second half of 'aBOreSSs' in the first phase before switching to 'NO.EX01', the penultimate boss uses the first half of 'raTEoREkiSImeAra'note (major spoilers) Lao Chimera/Telethia, the Final Boss uses the first half of 'The key we've lost', several of the superbosses use the last third of CR17S19S8note Crisis, Yggralith Zero uses 'In the forest <X→Z ver.>', some of the Time Attack bosses use an instrumental version of 'Uncontrollable', while Telethia, the Endbringer, the strongest superboss in the game, uses the second half of 'raTEoREkiSImeAra'. Finally, both the final fight against Rexoskell (from the infamous Definian Downfall sidequest) and the fight against Interfearence (from Murderess's last affinity mission, Serial Thriller) use 'z30huri2ba0tt12le1110'.note z30 free battle

Translation Convention: Lampshaded in an early chapter, when Elma finally questions exactly how humanity is able to understand all these aliens without any lingual difficulties. L at least has the excuse that he was obsessively studying human records and learned English that way, but the Nopon and Ma-non have no trouble communicating either, despite having had zero contact with humans beforehand. They ask Tatsu about it, and Tatsu replies that from his perspective, they've all been speaking the Nopon language like natives from the moment they met. Everyone's confused but don't have the time to question it any further at the moment.

Chapter 3 introduces you to the Prone race with the implication that they were behind the destruction of Earth, and the base you encounter them in also has Puge and Pugilith support. Chapter 4 then formally introduces the Ganglion coalition as a whole, which the Prone are just one race in. However, the enemy index entries on the Prone, Puges and Pugiliths (accessible as soon as you engage any of them in combat) mention the Ganglion before you even hear of them in-story. On another note, the entry for the Prone lists them with "Cavern Clan" in parentheses, indicating that not only are the Prone divided into two races/clans, there are a few mission-exclusive fights with Tree Clan Prone, the aforementioned second Prone clan that becomes one of your allies. On a further note, there's an Achievement called Cavern Clan Immigration, implying the seemingly Always Chaotic Evil clan of Prone will become allies too.

On-Ride/On-Foot Combat: Players first start off the game on foot, but later can obtain humongous mecha called "Skells" to fight and explore in. There's no restriction in what enemies you fight in and out of Skell, so it's entirely possible to take on gigantic megafauna on foot or step all over enemy grunts in your mech, though a Skell-loving NPC finds the latter behaviour to be dishonourable.

Red and Black and Evil All Over: One chraracter effectively refers to Cauldros as "hell". It looks the part, too, what with all the black rock and lava everywhere. The place also happens to be the main base of the Ganglion. Luciel, the Eternal, is a Millesaur with a distinctive red and black color scheme. It's also aggressive, a Tyrant, and one of the highest-leveled indigens in the game. Tainted indigens are black-colored, have red electricity coming out of their eyes, and are aggressive and have an insatiable hunger for flesh.

Reptiles Are Abhorrent: Invoked and defied. A human clothing store owner refuses to let the reptilian Ma-non enter her shop due to a preexisting phobia of Earth reptiles. This is despite the Ma-non looking like miniature Gungans with floppy dog-like "ears" with thoroughly non-malicious Manchild personalities. The player character has to bring word back about their helpfulness around New Los Angeles from people who have worked with them on a regular basis to convince the store owner that it's worth suppressing her phobia to let them shop there.

Some of the characters were renamed, like Ru (Changed to L). Other character's names were simply respelled (Van Damme to Vandham and Guin to Gwin). "Overeds" are referred to as "Tyrants". "World Enemies" is changed to "Nemeses". "Growth" to "Ganglion".

Turns Red: A vast majority of enemies get the "Enraged" status when their health gets low or an appendage is broken, increasing their offensive power. Many of the special Tyrants with descriptive text also change the flow of battle after taking certain amounts of damage or certain requirements being met. For example, Pyotr the Shepherd in Noctilum will turn enraged if you kill the two Ovis that he's watching over.

Ridiculously Human Robots: As per Xeno tradition, you'd probably expect at least one to show up and be a major plot element, and you might even suspect that various major characters might be one. The twist is that the player character is one - along with all the other humans. The residents of NLA for the duration of the game are all near-perfect human androids, piloted by the consciousnesses of the sleeping humans in the Lifehold.

Flanderization: The Nopon. In Xenoblade Chronicles, some of them were nomadic, and focused much of their efforts on business, but most of them were content with staying in Frontier Village and were pretty carefree. In this game, they're a lot more on the penny-pinching side, often scamming people on a regular basis, and they all have a caravan in every continent (save for Primordia, where they stay in NLA).

When he does challenge Rook he's a complete Smug Snake and frequently accuses Rook of underhanded tactics, which Tobias himself is implied to be doing behind the scenes. However, he's really a Jerk with a Heart of Gold, so he has a justified reason for his greed.

Gameplay and Story Integration: With a game this large, it is very easy to overlook every detail You know how the faces had to take a hit to facilitate for the game's visual effects? It can be justified in story because of the Ridiculously Human Robots ...for the humans at least. While exploring, you can easily survive jumping or falling from any height, and indeed, shortly after starting the game, Elma makes the suggestion of jumping off a high cliff to get down faster. Turns out, there's a reason for that. The fact that your player character is an android avatar, like all the "humans" in NLA justifies being able to re-edit your character after starting the game (even changing their gender!), though you have to unlock the ability through a side quest.

Humongous Mecha: The Zu Pharg, while outwardly appearing to just be a spacecraft, turns out to be one of these. While not nearly as huge as the previous example, the Vita still towers over Skells, being more then twice as as tall. Xe-doms are some of the biggest mechanical enemies in the game. Xerns are by far the biggest flying mechanical enemies in the game right after Zu Pharg and it's more than likely that you initially mistake one as a piece of scenery as they resemble parts of the abandoned mining towers found in Cauldros.

Sniper Rifle: Used by the Partisan Eagle and Astral Crusader classes. While it hits about as hard as one might expect, its range isn't much better then the other ranged weapons, and needs to be boosted with arts, augments, or skills before it can hit enemies at somewhat appropriate distances. Skells have their own version of sniper rifles as sidearms. They have higher range than other sidearms.

Moral Pragmatist: Most alien races fall into this trope. Since virtually all of them have been press-ganged into joining the Ganglion, they leap at the chance to rebel once they realize that A) they're stranded on Mira and the Ganglion are without most of their reinforcements and B) humanity actually has a good chance of defeating the Ganglion and thus freeing them. The Orphe and the Wrothians, in particular, make it clear that their alliance with humans are strictly a tool for survival (the Wrothian prince even flat out tells you that if there ever comes a time that Wrothian interests oppose human ones, he will void the truce immediately), but both species come to respect humanity in the meantime.

Blue-and-Orange Morality
 Xenoblade Chronicles X (Video Game) / int_e8e56799
comment
Blue-and-Orange Morality: The Ma-non are a society of technologically advanced anarchists. They have little to no organization and no leadership. Each Ma-non just does their own thing in their own time. Amazingly enough, this seems to work for them. It is less helpful when some of them try to get jobs with human companies, as they see nothing wrong with taking 3-hour lunch breaks and are utterly confused when their human bosses get angry about this. They also seem to experience less powerful emotions, and can at times be rather callous and insensitive to others' emotional states. It isn't that they're uncaring, they just don't understand human emotion. The Orphe are highly logical and have similar but more extreme issues with understanding emotions. They are dedicated to their own survival above all else and are very confused at the concept of altruism, something they would never contemplate. For the most part, they're friendly enough... mainly because being friendly makes their survival more likely. It's implied that exposure to human society is slowly changing this, however. Telethia the Endbringer features a heaping helping of this trope, made more blatant because Telethia cannot speak and thus cannot explain its actions. It supposedly exists to obliterate any form of life it deems "impure". Exactly what criteria it uses to determine this is wholly unknown. While the psychotic and rabid Tainted are obvious as to why they should be killed, Telethia also targets the Orpheans, apparently due to the "Ovah" virus they all carry. At the same time, it leaves the humans alone, despite their bodies being mechanical imitations of living creatures.

comment
Learnt English from Watching Television: One alien the player meets on Mira, L, is remarkably fluent in English from the first time you meet him. It's quickly explained that he happened upon an archive of the Library on Congress that happened to crash near his home, and has been studying it, learning English through that. Though he does not have a particularly good grasp of idioms, frequently getting sayings wrong.

comment
Cartography Sidequest: One of BLADE's primary missions is to explore and map out planet Mira, in order to gather data on the indigenous wildlife, search for resources, and to recover wreckage from the White Whale; particularly, what's left of the Lifehold. In return, you'll be rewarded with EXP, credits (the in-game currency), and SP which can be used to increase your skill level in your chosen field.

On the flipside, not only can you make your character out to be a Jerkass through some dialog decisions that go far beyond Pragmatic Hero, some of the preventable NPC deaths you can cause can be a result of you executing them or choosing to do nothing about their trouble. In some cases this is the right thing to do.

comment
Fighter, Mage, Thief: The game has this dynamic with its classes: Strikers are tanky fighters who have high HP and an array of offensive and defensive arts. One branch of the class, Samurai Gunners and Duelists, increases the offensive capabilities of the class while the other branch, Shield Troopers and Bastion Warriors, focus on their defensive capabilities, including their ability to draw aggro. Commandos occupy the "thief" niche, being nimble fighters who can deal a lot of damage very quickly. One branch of the class, Winged Vipers and Full Metal Jaguars, focuses on their ability to land and evade attacks. The other, Partisan Eagles and Astral Crusaders, favor raw damage. Enforces fill the niche of "mage", specializing in long-ranged attacks and support. One branch of the class, Psycorruptor and Mastermind, focus on supportive arts to buff allies and debilitate enemies. The other branch, Blast Fencer and Galactic Knight, are Magic Knight classes that confer a mix of powerful melee attacks and supportive capabilities.

Like stated above, you can hire other peoples' avatars to use as party members for a limited amount of time: killing enough enemies with them in your party increases their scout rank, which gives you some free items(you also get a free item when your avatar gets hired) and if it's maxed out, a BLADE Medal when you release them: this is one of the few ways to get them and you need them to fight the Bonus Bosses mentioned above. Even if you don't want to hire another player's avatar, you can still ask them to provide Division Support, which nets you various buffs and bonuses in gameplay.

Color-Coded Item Tiers: White (Common): Collectibles are plentiful but have low sell value. Weapons and Armor have no permanent battle traits. Augments have a rather insignificant if hardly noticeable effect. Blue (Rare): Slightly less plentiful but more sell value. Weapons and Armor have one permanent battle trait. Augments have a somewhat noticeable effect. Green (Unique): Collectibles appear infrequently but are valuable. Weapons and Armor have two permanent battle traits. Augments have a significant effect. Yellow (Prime): Collectibles are difficult to find but sell for a lot. Weapons and Armor have three permanent battle traits. Augments have a much more positive effect but are really expensive to make. Orange (Intergalactic): Weapons and Armor have four permanent battle traits. Augments have a game-changing positive effect but require Materials that are dropped by High-Level Tyrants.

The first time you have a Heart-to-Heart with each of your different party members, you'll receive an achievement for it. Not so much for characters that are Downloadable Content for Japan and The Master Sniper though... Heart-to-Hearts are also recorded on the map when they're found out and/or completed, and there's also an achievement for maxing out a party member's affinity, unless they're once again for said DLC characters in Japan and for Lao.

Drama-Preserving Handicap: In Chapter 12, Luxaar decides to enter the fray himself using the super-Skell recovered in Chapter 6, the Vita. Before he does this, one of his minions reminds him that the Vita is badly damaged and he is incapable of using it to its fullest power, but he goes anyway. The Vita was present in the battle during the opening cutscene and was easily cutting a swathe through the Ghost fleet. If the Vita had been repaired, Luxaar would have won.

Oddball in the Series: X is the only game in the series to be explicitly set in our reality rather than in a Constructed World, and eschews most of the Magitek and mythological elements of the other games in favor of being a mostly straight sci-fi story about humanity trying to rebuild itself on a new planet after Earth is destroyed. Aside from the Nopon, none of the other races from the other games appear, and instead the game introduces several new alien species that don't appear in any of the other games. It's also the only game to have no directnote the protagonist, Elma, does appear as a DLC character in Xenoblade Chronicles 2, but the two games are otherwise unrelated plot ties to the other games in the series, being a thematic sequel instead.

comment
Anti-Grinding: Experience earnings are calculated by the base experience of the enemy and the difference in levels between the defeated enemy and your party members. A level disparity that favors the enemy will increase the experience gained while a level disparity that favors your party members will reduce the experience gained. The reason why 60 was set as the level cap for all party members is to discourage players from just maxing out their characters at the beginning and simply breezing through the rest of the story through brute force instead of using proper strategy such as selecting the proper equipment, skills, and arts.

Traveling at the Speed of Plot
 Xenoblade Chronicles X (Video Game) / int_f314f8c4
comment
Traveling at the Speed of Plot: The game has a "traveling companions" mechanic that shows characters who are supposed to be "traveling with you" to and from certain locations. However, only one of these characters (Tatsu) is visibly shown to be travelling with you (and only if Lin is in the party). Other than that, the character will usually already be waiting for you when you arrive at the destination (some will even chide you for being "late"). For that matter, characters who are NOT Blades or combatants in any way can somehow make it all the way to places like Oblivia (with heat waves, level 30+ monsters and electromagnetic storms) or even Cauldros without any assistance or protection while full-fledged BLADE members can barely travel five feet without needing backup. And then there are the "retrieve my pet" missions. The first few aren't so bad — a cat you retrieve from a waterfall in Primordia, a dog that's at the bottom of a cave a few minutes' walk from N.L.A. — but in the late game, you're left wondering how in the hell a Dalmatian made it to an enemy base, on a Floating Continent two continents and an ocean away.

The North American and European versions of the game alter Lin's skimpy costumes to be less revealing. Specifically, they changed her character model so she looks like she's wearing black underwear underneath the unaltered bikini/diving suit/bunny suit costumes, and black tights under a couple of other skimpy armor like Meredith & Co. light armor, Candid & Credible light and medium armor, Six Stars heavy armor, and some tiers of Grenada Galactic Group Skell armor. They also remove the bust-size slider from the character creation menu, which is left intact in the Japanese version.

Wake-Up Call Boss
 Xenoblade Chronicles X (Video Game) / int_f4a0408f
comment
Wake-Up Call Boss: Many a new player who chooses to plow through the story missions right away has stumbled on the encounter with Goetia in Chapter 4, since it's the first fight in the story where brutal elemental attacks, the necessity of singling out certain enemy targets, and the value of soul voices really come into play. Getting through it requires fully wrapping one's head around how the combat system functions, as well as equipment upgrades and the various defense stats that need to be kept track of. This is made worse by the fact that not all of the game's complicated mechanics can be spoonfed to players, so you either need to look over the manual thoroughly or just really be paying attention. Chapter 5's battle against 3 Qmoeva Skells, nearly equal leveled and difficulty, can easily wreck your if you come in this battle not properly equipped with higher gear and not plan a good strategy. Hopefully, you did not just run away from most of the battles throughout this very long road before approaching this, right? Chapter 6 pits the player against tainted enemies, and culminates with a fight against a giant one. This stresses the absolute influence of Overdrive, and there's plenty of tainted enemies on the way to the objective (that won't attack the player despite the icons above them) to build up TP to prepare for this fight. Funny that this Chapter is required to finally get your skell. Chapter 9's battle against the Wrothians will let you know that you can't just cheese your way through every human-sized opponent with Skells since the game won't let you use them in the first half and remind you to continue keeping your ground builds up to date. The fact that you're dealing with six powerful enemies at once means that you have to be able to handle their weaknesses, use Overdrive effectively, ensure that your teammates are of a sufficient level and not just yourself, and equip your team with the best items and weapons you can just to survive. The second half, which throws a huge amount of Skells at you, may tell you that the dinky level 20 Skell you started with won't cut it when you have to go through six powered-up Skells, as its low defenses and HP simply can't handle the punishment your enemies throw at it.

Trial by Combat: The Wrothians love to implement these. Any uncertainties or disagreements are typically settled with a fight of some sort (sometimes on foot, sometimes in Skells). Most Wrothians will gladly step down and let the winner dictate things after the trial by combat is over, but a few require either additional convincing or will demand that their life be ended because they can't bring themselves to agree with the outcome. Even the latter, however, will be more amenable to some sort of compromise.

You Bastard!: Surprisingly, the game goes out of its way as much as it can to make you feel horrible for pursuing the ultimate Superboss of the game. The Telethia shows up during the main story to save the party from a hopeless situation, though they do theorize it may have been taunting them over its power, and when you have to face it in an affinity quest to get an item from it, its stats are lower as if holding back, and it cuts the battle after dealing one-fourth of its health, giving the item you were after while possibly deeming you worthy to live on the planet. Its enemy description even describes it as 'guardian of life'. And when you do encounter it outside of the affinity mission, it's non-aggressive. It'll only attack in self-defense once you attack it first, and it's death animation is rather disturbing to watch. Despite all this, you can still gun it down for the thrill of the challenge, and to complete a Tyrant tile to achieve 100% Completion.

comment
Great Offscreen War: There is a massive conflict between two alien armies that just so happened to break out over Earth. As shown in the opening sequence, the battle resulted in Earth's destruction and humanity's forced exodus into space, with one of the alien armies pursuing them and causing one of their ships to crash-land onto Mira.

comment
Video Game Cruelty Potential: On the flipside, not only can you make your character out to be a Jerkass through some dialog decisions that go far beyond Pragmatic Hero, some of the preventable NPC deaths you can cause can be a result of you executing them or choosing to do nothing about their trouble. In some cases this is the right thing to do. It's possible to kill certain enemies through stomping on them with your Skell over and over. Watching them get launched so high into the air can be sadistically funny. It's also possible to kill weaker enemies with overpowered weapons in a single hit. Sometimes this is the best way of racking up kill counts for Squad Tasks. You can repeatedly bump into citizens walking along NLA for no real reason other than to be a dick.

comment
Dark Secret: Like most organizations, the Earth Colonization Project has several. The people chosen to get on the White Whale were the rich and powerful elite, along with anyone those elites deemed "useful". Related to the above, the people who got on the White Whale in fact, didn't get on at all. The inhabitants of the Whale are all the downloaded consciousnesses of the people who were picked to be saved. The original people those consciousnesses came from were lied to, and then died when the Earth blew up. The rest of NLA proper are also living with the delusion that their "real bodies" are in the Core. Whatever the heck is going on between Eleonora and Yelv.

Running Gag
 Xenoblade Chronicles X (Video Game) / int_f9f2c33
comment
Running Gag: Most story missions begin the same way: Lin asks the player for ideas on what to cook. The dish she ultimately prepares is based on the player's choice (which includes fried chicken, pot pie, and foie gras). During the preparation of the dish, Lin will try and trick Tatsu into becoming part of the dish, to the Nopon's unending chagrin. Once the meal is prepared, other BLADE members may drop by for a meal before laying out the mission.

The Power of Friendship
 Xenoblade Chronicles X (Video Game) / int_faece9aa
comment
The Power of Friendship: The core lesson behind almost every side mission. People are fragile, flawed, weak, or straight-up bastards on their own, but learning to rely upon and help each other makes everyone stronger and capable of doing anything. Elma flat out states this as her Kirk Summation several times. Mon'Barac worries that he isn't strong enough to survive on Mira, so he tries his hand at beast taming like the Prone are capable of. After you save him from being swallowed whole by a Lophid, you suggest he go ask the Prone for advice on his methods. He overcomes his fears of talking to other races and quickly makes friends with a Prone, Ma-Non, and Nopon. After you save him again from being swallowed whole by a Lophid, his friends come up to him and tell him that he can survive by working together with his newfound friends, and you teach him what the bonds of friendship mean.

comment
Sequence Breaking: It's possible through careful mountain climbing to find and enter Bedrock Hold in Primordia and meet Ganglion forces before the story introduces them. Later cutscenes will still have characters surprised to meet them anyway. This is a bit strange since they put invisible walls to prevent you from entering other regions from over the mountains until the story allows it yet missed this one area.

By killing and looting a simple Nopopotamus hanging out at Lake Ciel, you end up causing quite a bit of strife for a Nopon at the local Caravan who was planning on buying a wedding dress and proposing to his fiance. He was waiting for his friend and that Nopopotamus to arrive at the caravan so he would finally have the money needed to buy the dress, and give her a nice ring as a proposal as well. Instead, he's forced to take a loan from a local Loan Shark and deal with the consequences of not paying up in time. Fortunately, you help him get around the issue.

Non-Indicative Difficulty: The amount of stars for each basic mission on the board usually represents the BLADE Level required to unlock it, not the overall difficulty of the mission. For example, there's a two-star mission that requires hunting high level 30 Purgovents, which can take a beating even from a Skell. Meanwhile, there are missions above five stars that involve killing level 15 Tyrants or enemies, and so forth.

Brain Uploading: Happens twice. First to survive the rigors of space travel, the humans uploaded their consciousness to the Lifehold Core computer, from which they remote controlled the mimeosomes; second, when the Lifehold Core crashed into Mira, and the central computer was destroyed, some unseen force, possibly Mira itself, uploaded the humans and kept them alive in their mimeosomes.

Technology Uplift
 Xenoblade Chronicles X (Video Game) / int_fc9cd837
comment
Technology Uplift: Very downplayed at first. A quick, glossed-over line in the opening cutscene mentions that humanity, despite being technologically outclassed by the aliens that attacked their planet, had "known the war was coming" and had prepared themselves for it. Despite Earth being their only home, humans were well-prepared for FTL velocity, space travel, as well as alien world colonization. The Skells they use are also fairly new to them, as they're the only species that hasn't figured out how to make theirs fly (at first). A Ma-non engineer comments mid-way through the game that there's a significant disparity between different areas of human technology: some of it is primitive, and some of it is surprisingly advanced. He assumes that humanity must have had a random super-genius come along and invent the advanced stuff. The intrigue involved with this, as well as how humans caught up in technology so fast, is brought up by Big Bad Luxaar in the final mission. It turns out that this was all thanks to Elma, the alien who warned humanity of the war, and helped them jumpstart their technology to survive it.

Artistic License – Economics
 Xenoblade Chronicles X (Video Game) / int_fd76df83
comment
Artistic License – Economics: The prices of certain items can be a bit peculiar. In one affinity mission, you have to buy 10 Pizzas for the Ma-Non, which cost 10,000 credits, which would make you think that one credit is worth as much one Japanese yen (though it could be just that Pizzas are in high demand, thanks to the Ma-Non). Yet, in another mission you have to buy a car which is around 10,000 credits and in yet another mission, it takes 30,000 credits to sign a treaty with a nopon caravan (Though the dealer says that it's a good bargain). So we're suppose to believe that a pizza cost one tenth of a car, which cost one third of public treaty. Possibly justified in that NLA is an entirely new society, and the value of credits is determined by each person individually, so they can charge whatever they want.

Theme Naming
 Xenoblade Chronicles X (Video Game) / int_fd94c4ac
comment
Theme Naming: The two main Wrothians are Ga Jiarg and Ga Buidhe, which are similar to the names of two mythical spears owned by Diarmuid Ua Duibhne: Gáe Dearg and Gáe Buidhe, literally "red spear" and "yellow spear". To carry the connection further, Ga Jiarg note "Jiarg" is Manx Gaelic for "red" while "Dearg" is Irish Gaelic has red/orange fur, and Ga Buidhe wields a polearm. Given that the Colony Ship that brought everyone to Mira is named the White Whale, it's natural that there are plenty of Moby-Dick and Herman Melville references in several collectibles and areas of New Los Angeles. Tatsu's siblings are named for puns on the numbers 2-6 in Japanese, a theme that was Lost in Translation.

Item Crafting: The game isn't too reliant on this, as many of the weapons and gear can be seized from the enemies defeated (the only condition necessary to use them is to be at the minimum necessary level). However, after clearing the main story, you'll be able to create Skells from scratch, and for them you may need up to six different items (and of each a given amount), for which you'll need to do some serious grinding as some of the parts are either very rare or dropped by formidable enemies. Those Skells, in addition, need your characters to have reach the maximum level cap (60) to be piloted.

Everything Trying to Kill You: Mira rivals Australia in terms of environmental hazards and aggressive wildlife, plus all the indigens that hide as objects just so they can attack things. While there is a fair number of species that don't attack on sight or proximity, any splash damage will make them just as mad.
