At the end of 1, Alvis has a vision after Shulk mentions that he wants to see other people from other worlds. Alvis mentions that he sees the people of these world walking together toward the future hand in hand. No matter what happens in 3, I feel like the conclusion will be that throughout whatever heartbreak will exist, all peoples from both worlds will be able to face the future together.

"Fighting in order to live, and living to fight. That's the way of our world, Aionios". This could just be a coincidence, but it's entirely possible that this line could be referencing the ideology of Xenoblades 1 and 2 respectively. The former representing 1, as "Fighting in order to live" is what Shulk and the gang spends the entire game doing, fighting to support their existence, whereas the latter represents 2, as "Living to fight" is the boiled down version of Rex's motivation, specifically "The power to protect", and "I'm going to Elysium for you".

One thing I am very hyped about with Xenoblade 3 would def be the world building. I really enjoyed the world building and characterization of Alrest in Xenoblade 2, with Theosoir being my personal highlight on that front. Since the trailer for 3 indicates that a lot of time has passed since 1 and 2s endings, the game will certainty have a ton of stuff to work with. Looking forward to see how the game worldbuilds through quests, main story, and dialogue with citizens. As for some theories/predictions: .Mio is related to Nia .Rex and Pyra/Mythra have become something of a legend/myth in the world. Kinda like the Jedi in the Original Star Wars trilogy or the X Men in Logan .Nia and Melia aren't being mind controlled. They have valid and complex reasons for fighting that are in character .The Colliding of Xenoblade 1 and 2s worlds had terrible consequences and lead to a lot of resentment between both parties .Rex and Shulk are likely dead or old man who will serve as mentor figures .Pyra and Mythra may have withdrawn from society if Rex died

Hold up,I just realized a UMN-like structure already exists in both Xenoblade 1 and 2, being Memory Space and the Elysium Dream, where even dead people can stay. Addam also mentions in ch7 that he just got there, that we led him there, so maybe before then he was part of the collective unconscious ? Man I cannot stop theorizing over a 90 seconds trailer

Here's my prediction: Enel will get all the WRs for this games speedrun

I haven't seen anyone theorize Pyra and Mythra being antagonists, an interesting theory for sure. I'm not sure if they would go down a dark path like that, especially due to their past regarding death and their desire to live normal lives, but perhaps they're desperate to keep the world Rex loved alive no matter the cost. I do think alot of XC2 characters will come back as you suggest. I also think Rex and Shulk will have a heavy presence in the game's lore and in the respective cultures of their countries. I think its possible we might even see some flashback of them back when they were alive.

Adding on more to the theory that the sides are divided because of their differing ideology: it might have to do with the cycle of rebirth. In XC1, the Bionis essentially survived by exploiting this cycle: creating life and then destroying it, then creating life again. This is why the Telethia exist, and so it makes sense for Melia, a High Entia, to despise the cycle of rebirth that the Bionis used. In XC2, core crystals become blades, which over time become titans, which then give birth to more core crystals, thus more blades and then more titans. Learning about this cycle and realizing its significance is at the center of XC2, and because of that Nia would be very much in support of the cycle of rebirth like with the core crystals, especially considering Nia herself is a blade. Thus, the two sides in disagreement.

I hope it further explores Alvis, since it's all but confirmed he is Ontos. XC1: Definitive Edition's unexplained altering of his pendant from a key to a core crystal shape is surely more than a mere aesthetic change!

Definitely curious to find out Poppi's role in all of this. Maybe her ether furnace is being used to power Agnus's forces considering they fight with "small, mobile, autonomous weapons that use ether technology."

I unironically think that the 3rd party watching everything from the shadows is the Nopon Arcsage. It makes perfect sense, as he probably wants to see these two universes fight for fun. Just like he wanted them to team up.

I predict that Enel will go to school one day in September and start lecturing about XB3 combat after a long night of grinding superbosses.

Yes more Xenoblade into my veins! Also Nia petting Dromarch like a villain

I’ve been addicted to watching all these Xenoblade theories the past several days. So hyped for this game! The only thing for certain is you’ll probably have the WR on it

I will say, I am interested in your idea that Pyra and Mythra basically take over the role of both Pneuma and Logos. It was a bit of a thing that I kinda didn't like how we got both of them back instead of just Pneuma, but if we have them both taking over to maintain the "trinity" processor, it works better for me. But I'm also just thinking now "Okay, who gets green hair, and who gets purple hair?"

I really hope that this is not the final part of the Xenoblade story let alone the Xeno story. You have to remember in Xenogears alone a period of 10,000 years is the entire games story. I sincerely hope that 3 could be the jumping point for a connection to x or something else. Hell we don’t even know what the ‘saviorite rebels’ are that Klaus mentions in XBC2! I’d love to see a prequel that explains that, as well as how the artifices were made, klaus as a human scientist, and even HOW ON EARTH KOSMOS IS IN XBC2. Because like it or not, that happened and we need an explanation for it.

I personally want KOSMOS and Rubedo to be the main climax devices. Cant have an armageddon without the red dragon.

Thank you for making these videos Enel. September can’t get her fast enough

I've seen lots of comparisons online between the environments in the trailer and Noctilum and Oblivia in X. Specifically Oblivia, because that one shot in the trailer has the floating islands and something that could possibly make up that giant ring in the ground. Not sure if this means anything though.

I thought I had is that Agnus is actually a confederation of all the Xenoblade 2 nations, and Nia is the current leader of the oligarchy. That could simplify it, instead of the game having to explain how all those nations fell. It was also implied at the end of FC that Melia pretty much became the queen of Shulk's world as a whole.

I am so excited for this game. I’ve been grinding in 2 trying to get kosmos and I’ve opened 50 legendary core crystals but still no kosmos

I agree with a lot of your ideas, especially the Xenosaga comparisons. Vandahm or his lookalike in this trailer telling the party where to go and what do to reminded me of the role Nephilim had in Xenosaga. If Melia and Nia are the antagonists, could they be using eternal recurrence and the war between nations to "save" the universe? And maybe the party, potentially called ouroborous, are driven to find another way to save the universe like the Xenosaga party? Also, the differences between the Zohar and the Conduit could mean they are actually different, not just a rename. The Zohar gathered its power from the upper domain or wave existence, while the Conduit connected the different lower domain universes. Maybe even both could show up in Xenoblade 3?

My only want is Rex being with Pyra and Mythra if they do show up.

"Fighting in order to live & Living to fight" could this actually mean that the conduit/zohar feeds of this ongoing war? Taion stated that "you're his fuel", could the ether released in death, keep the dimension stable? Perhaps Noah will change this fate once he grows aware of the "simulation" Just like Alvis guided shulk towards reality and obtained the "True Monado". The Xenoblade series could very well take place in a simulation. Once a mind becomes aware of this, they can change the future/reality. Perhaps Alvis will guide the player to such enlightment in Xenoblade 3? Some crazy theory's that I'm thinking out loud.

Urayan Titan: *vibing* Mechonis Sword: "And I took that personally"

I have theory about character that are most definitely coming back: the Ageis. Pyra/Mythra are still alive, Alvis is somewhere Malos is probably regenerating another 500 years to come back. He literally died I Torna and waited 500 years so he can most definitely come back since this war going on. Plus he still could communicate with Phenuma before she self destruct herself, so he still out there. You could say their might be a Trinity reunion to defeat the real enemy. Like on Xenoblade 1 group on their machine that fires a purple beams has the Ageis logo, underneath it for some reason I have no reason why but you know some Ageis stuff is about to go down. Maybe that's why we haven't seen them yet

Takahashi actually sent me a copy of the game early, the real villains of the game are the Nopon faction.

A theory I thought about: I think every entity in the combined universe has a clock representing their lifetime they have left. The humans have to fight in order to live, so killing someone fills up their time (and the lifetime of the universe). But its strange why a fleeting world like that would be called Aionios, so I think souls will be reincarnated in an endless cycle. That would also explain, why Vandham is back and why Lanz says “I refuse to believe you are him”, indicating he knows a person from a different life. Lanz could be a reincarnation of Reyn. Eunie could either be Fiora (appearance) or Sharla (weapon and behaviour). Sena could be former Brighid and Mio could be Nia’s dead sister. (And Taion maybe Akhos but that’s really a long shot.) Ouroboros are either souls which reincarnate or people who have realized that they are reincarnation. When they realize this, their clocks change to a Ouroboros symbol. Either way, they hate this world, because they know, they can never rest in peace (much like the blades in XC2).

Multiverses seem to be the answer for everything which make it a popular trend for movie/game industry to utilize.

Im willing to bet that Takahashi has a perfect works version for xenoblade (which he hasn’t released publicly of course to avoid spoilers) because the fact that he planned xc3 before xc2 even started development is so insane to me, I absolutely love when writers do that because it shows they have a clear vision for their story and theres less chance of disappointment. I just hope this time the romance will be better written cos xenogears is the only xeno game with good romance😅

My biggest hope is mechs. We saw them in the trailer and I want to get in a mech. I hope it’s more open world like x. I want multiplayer (someone can control another character in the party) And returning characters such as pyra zeke maybe Rex and I especially wanna see shulk. And most I wanna see Alvin. Maybe as our super weapon. Alvis is pyras brother. So why not?

Most excited for Eunie’s beach day outfit there I said it

I think the "clocks" are the loading/power symbols on the weapons/mechs. The thing that looks like an oroboros in the trailer In the trailer when Noah and Mio are fighting the mech Mio says "the flame clock, it needs to go". So it's can't be the red marks beacause the robot doesn't have one.

What I took away from this video is that Tora is the evil genius behind the scenes who used his technological skills to harness the Zohar and power up Poppi to be as powerful as KOS-MOS. Also Enel played Future Connected without Melia's pants.

I predict Enel is going to hit 50,000 subscribers real soon! Keep up the good work man, loving these Xenoblade 3 videos.

I'm really enjoying your theories this was well done you really covered alot in the last but this was a great discussion my hype for XC3 is growing i hope we get to see Klaus begin the experiment again lmao.

The connection with xenosaga is always so fascinating and the way you word it I really wish it were true

Not even been a week since this game was announced and I already can’t wait anymore

Thank you Enel for all of your time and thought you have put into making these videos. Can hardly wait for Xenoblade 3.

This is getting fun. Zohars are monoliths. It's why the company named itself monolithsoft. If you really want a grip on where things are going, there are 2 movies, and 4 books, in the space odyssey franchise, 2001, 2010, 2061, and 3001. This is where concepts like the Zohar, upper domain, and wave existance come from.

I'm really excited for Xenoblade Chronicles 3!

Babe wake up new Enel video just dropped

New head canon, the land of challenge is actually canon and we have all this to blame on the Nopon Sage just trying to find the best fighters between Bionis and Alrest and so he shoved the worlds together.

Love your thought process with your predictions and theories. Good job Enel.

My theory for the symbol on the characters, is that it's the new "plot upgrade" for this game, where your party gets a power boost from doing certain things and reaching key plot moments. 1 had the new forms of the Monado, along with the new symbols for new powers along the way, while 2 had the new forms of Pyra, where she first got to become Mythra, and then Pneuma in the end... At a glance, the mark looks strikingly like the mark of the L'Cie from Final Fantasy 13, where it actually does work as a sort of "timer"! The mark indicates that a Fal'Cie (basicly a god) has marked you as it's servant to complete a mission, and along with the mark, you get a vision of what you are meant to do, but with no real indication of what the vision was. It also allows you to use magic to complete that mission, but you only have a limited time until you become a Cie'th, which is basicly a mindless zombie. My theory is that some "higher power" marks the main characters in a similar way, but maybe instead of being a "timer" for them, it might be an indication on how far along their journey they are, with more power being unlocked from it as they get closer and closer to finishing their mission

I don't think Nia and Melia will be antagonists. Xenoblade trailers have a tendency to take voice lines and cut scenes to mix them together even if they're not related. Some parts in the trailer actually hint at that. Vandham wearing a mask as well as Melia and Nia. uroboros is a symbol which can be drawn as a circle or a sideways eight. The standard outfit of Melia contains one giant Uroboros symbol in Xenoblade DE.

Corrupted Alvis? we will get FUKED against The Seer that can see the future.

I personally have the theory that if we'll see Pyra and Mythra we'll see Rex again as well, either he is still alive or they'll pull off some resurrection shenanigans. With everything going on in XC2 i'm having a hard time believing that those 3 get split somehow. It would break my heart, i can tell you that much.

Loving the back to back videos of Xenoblade 3 been binging em all

So many Enel Xenoblade Videos, :,)

I hope Dromarch is alive, Nia living without him would be so sad.

We know the Machina are back because Lanz IS a Machina, since he has the 2-tone grey metallic skin with gold Filigree and LEDs in his body, they wouldn't just make him the only Machina. And before anyone says anything, no, he is not Indoline, not only is Lanz native to the nation of Keves which is only Xenoblade 1 races, but Indoline are bright monotone blue with forked ears.

Well, I don't know if your theories will hold but I can say 2 things that are sure: You have a lot of love for this franchise and you have a creative mind.

Looking forward to your incoming world records, Enel-sama!

I'm certain that uroboros will also be a gameplay gimick, maybe you'll have to fill the uroboros simbols to use special arts or something like that

It'd be kinda crazy that Pyra may have passed on with Rex like what she implied in Xeno2 when Mythra could still be around still acting as Pnuema

On the Poppi/Pyra/Mythra/Azurda possibilities: Pyra and Mythra know everyone else from XB2 are on fairly borrowed time, being mortal and all, so what if they decided, like you theorized, to go into hiding, but specifically with Poppi and Azurda as their "Guardians". Azurda will live for pretty much forever still since he's a Titan, and Poppi has essentially an unlimited lifespan as long as she's maintained, making them the ideal people from XB2 to serve as long term protectors for potentially two thirds of the Trinity Processor. Obviously the worst case scenario could play out, but my optimistic side hopes for this, because it means Poppi has Pyra, Mythra, and Azurda there for Tora's inevitable passing (because lets face it, Nopon do die of old age too. Its an inevitable fact). Can't wait to find out how everything plays out.

We should be glad that the only Xenosaga player is kind enough to share his vast knowledge with us

This is awesome. I think an awesome video idea would be doing a recap video for both XBC 1 and 2.

Prediction number 1: Somehow, there will be a twitter shitstorm about this game immediately after it releases.

Here’s another theory regarding Brighid. Could it be possible that Brighid became a flesh eater herself with Morag”s cells? She is the only main blade unaccounted for after all. Prya and Mythra are still alive being the Aegis and all. So is Dromarch, because of Nia. Poppi is Poppi. And Pandoria might still be around with Zeke. Maybe it was Morag”s wish to keep brighid alive with her memories, because of the impending doom coming and so she would be able to help her friends. Now I guess the only thing countering that is that her core would just be passed onto the next emperor, if Morag where to pass. But having a memory wiped Brighid would be unfortunate, if all the other main party blades are still there with their XC2 memories. I guess she had the journal, but still.

Incredible how I really can't understand a damn thing about the xenosaga lore, and still I've watched your full playthourgh! Amazing video by the way, keep it up!

Aegisses carry backups of each other!!! Unless the database for this was in the world tree(there are massive server rooms there, just saying), the missing Aegisses might simply be brought back from the remaining cores.

On the topic of the other space stations. I figured the new universe Klaus made would need some form of material/matter etc to manifest itself. The soundtrack for Mechonis sounds very similar to the world tree and some parts are an exact copy. So what if during the creation of the pocket dimension the other space stations were sucked in and repurposed for Mechonis and possibly Bionis.

Loving these videos Enel! So hyped for this game

My personal headcanon is that the place Xenoblade 1 characters end up is on the same planet as Xenoblade 2 - with how small an area Alrest actually takes up, it would be easy for them to be on opposite sides of the planet.

I think the two nopon from the trailer might not just be any descendants, but Kino and Nene themselves. i mean they introduced them in the dlc as very young new characters, knowing what would happen in xb3

i still think the people of bionis & mechonis got teleported back to earth at the end of XC 1 thats why reyn said the water was salty because i think if your going to teleport the remains of the 2 titans then pacific ocean would be a good place to put it

I'm so excited for Xenoblade 3 Let's go 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

The very obvious anime plot that pops into my mind given the Keves and Agnus setup goes something like 1. Keves and Agnus are fighting because of some conspiracy/misunderstanding/manipulation by "the real enemy" 2. Party realizes this, get together to stop it. During this period Keves and Agnus (and thus Melia and Nia) are persecuting them and acting as antagonists. 3. Big reveal at the halfway point thanks to protagonists, Keves/Melia and Agnus/Nia realize they've been manipulated/don't need to fight and join forces against the "real enemy". After this point they're presented as sympathetic allies. 4. Big bad fight Of course, this is super cookie cutter and Xeno usually goes way weirder than it, so there's probably some twist on the formula in there. On the other hand, XC1 basically had this plot with Bionis vs Mechonis but all of the characters were from one side, and the twist was that the Bionis itself was evil actually.

Imagine doing your own thing as the urayan titan when all of a sudden a fuck off massive sword comes in from a different dimension and stabs you. Feelsbadman

I predict I'm gonna need Enel's help🥲

Interesting! So you're thinking the more popular theory. My theory seems to be pretty rare. I don't think this takes place after XC1 and XC2, well not OUR XC1 and XC2. I think this new game takes place in a very unstable universe that is formed of the memories of both universes. I agree this is happening/happened because of the Conduit having the left XC2's universe causing XC1's universe to become unstable, but instead of XC1 mashing into XC2, a third world is made. Hear me out, The Conduit was keeping XC1 bandaged together because it's a "new" universe, it shouldn't have existed. Now the bandage has been removed, the wound isn't kept shut from XC1 being wedged into the grand scheme of universe. It's now festering. This is where the rift and the Fog King come in. XC1's world is the problem and the Fog is like some universe antibodies. But since it failed, the wound continues to worsen. As it's the gap between XC1 and XC2's universes, it draws in the memories taking form of another universe. This is why many locations have reappeared. (I'm also one of those people that thinks that they NEED to fight in order for their third universe to exist). Why did I come up with an insane theory? Because details are wrong if Aionios is XC1 and 2's world combined. An alive Vandham nearly identical to 2's. Uraya is now on high ground and is whole again, why isn't it combined into a larger landmass at sea level? Mechonis' Sword is also whole again despite the fact Zanza sliced it in two when Egil fought against him. It's very late for me so sorry if this sounds like a mad man's ramblings but I hope somebody enjoys the idea.

Super fun video, first time I've really been this excited and involved in a games prerelease and honestly it's torture because I feel like the trailer came out weeks ago when it's only been 4 days but videos like this make it all worth it. Also you and all the other guys making these videos have convinced me that I need to play gears and saga to really get into all of this so im starting gears tonight they better be good with how much y'all love to talk about them!!

If Poppi isn't in this game or we have to destroy her I will riot and cry

You just keep making these great videos keep them up enel

Enel I want to thank you so much for your amazing explanations, research and of course the love for the franchise you put into your videos. Having grown up with Xenosaga & Xenogears, and calling the first Xenoblade my favorite game of all times still it makes me incredibly happy that you're able to put into words and teach a lot of people about these games and that there's so many connections to make. Keep up! You're one of my favorite content creators.

There is so much to think about, can't wait for this game

In all honesty. I hope that no matter what happens. I want Rex, Pyra, Mythra, Shulk and Fiora to just have happy ending. For my prediction for the story, I honestly. Don't really have one since there not much infomation to go off, But if I had to make one. It would be that Tyrhea will be playing apart within the story playing as Melia body double. Past that, I'm more interested in what Nintendo saying is the theme of the game being "Life" Since looking at previous Xenoblade games and their main themes. This being XC1 = Revenge. XC2 and Torna = Having somewhat of the theme of Existentialism and Nilhism. But also deals with death and suffering and how different people deal with it. ( XC2 themes as a whole are much harder to pin down compared to XC2. As it very multiple layers. ) If Nintendo is saying that XC3 main theme is Life. Then what does it mean. Is going into the importance of "Life". How we put human life on a pedestal and talk about the importance of it. Despite their still being suffering and death in the world. Will XC3 being using Christianity when it comes to talking idea from it or will it take from other religion's. That what I care more about.

I'm going to be a bit more lighthearted here. I would like to see Alvis return, even if it's just to give an exposition dump. I must have a concrete answer to the question: what happened to Alvis? I'm hoping he's not corrupted, just because he's the spiritual successor to chaos. ...chaos and Alvis working together would be fun to watch, I must admit. I'd also like the new Nopon Sage to be Riki. He was recognized by the former Nopon Sage after all, and having him fill that role would be perfection, especially if this new Nopon Sage is relevant to the story. Possibly unlikely, but you never know.

After both Xenogears and Xenosaga got shafted, I’m so glad Xenoblade is thriving. What a good time to be a Xeno fan. Theory question: I’m wondering if somehow Alvis will pull a Wilhelm. 🤔

My guess from the previous video is that they're going FMAB on this with the two warring factions and each death fuels the big bad

I think what likely happened isn't that the dimensional rift sent them to Xenoblade 2 rather they were already in the other world, just opposite sides of the landmass. Maybe, during this time something happened, and someone managed to build a mech suit that could pickup the Mechonis sword awhile the other nations of XC2 brought the Titans. Likely ending in a draw where both sides got placed side by side in a continuous war. After all, the universe recreation seen looks almost the reverse of the universe destruction scene. I digress

Hey, some cool theories you have here! Im excited to see how they will fuse the 2 worlds together. Maybe its a new world with pieces of both old worlds in it? Im ready to be surprised! Keep up the great content Enel, its great to see you go at it again!

Kinda worth noting is Xenosaga uses visions to show possible future confrontations KOSMOS has with U-DO. The most prolific vision sees KOSMOS in space squaring off with a planet. A planet sized U-DO rips it's way through the crust. In that vision U-DO looks very much like a mech, kinda like the ones from the Xenoblade series. (That's sequence is in the better Xenosaga 2 trailers).

I have some theories 1: idk but nio has a way too similar crystal in her chest, probably nia long lost sister, also they have similar names too 2: The monado Noah has is very similar to the Final monado form of XC1, looks like its a physical ver of the final monado 3: The weapons Homs/Humans are using in the war seem to have a similar look to the monado, perhaps to cut mekon? Perhaps mekon still exist?, idk but probably shulk told them how to create a monado or a similar weapon before he died, he's probably still alive. 4: The nopon from the trailer look similar to the nopons of XC1 DLC, Probably they had children? As they're green and Red That's all i have to say, i hope somethings make sense as i haven't played XC in a year and i don't remember most of the history, if i misspelled some words, i'm not english. 5: i'm so happy because now i can play ER and XC3

I don’t know how to express how much i love xenoblade

If Nia doesn't weaponize cancer in this game like she did to Malos... I actually don't know. I'm sure I'll love this game still.

I keep thinking about the lore from the siren model kit and the line KOS-MOS has during her blade quest where even she is confused why she knows so much about the world tree

Without having deep knowledge of the Xenogears saga & only having played XBCX, XBC 1, 2 & Torna...At around the 7 min mark with the explanation of the UMN...makes me think about the cliff hanger from XBCX...that game is what got me interested in the Xenoblade series in general & I can see the connective tissue with the Chronicles series and the Chronicles X game

i want you to make a video going over which ones of your predictions came true after the games comes out please

why watch the Super Bowl when you can watch Enel’s 3rd discussion video on this year’s Game of the Year?

Great video mate 👍

Looking forward to the incessant malding from people when Pyra and Mythra return lol

I personally have a bit of a crackpot theory that the masked characters aren't actually Melia and Nia, but people impersonating them. From their specific character development in the first two games, it'd be real weird if either of them let an army of people die for them (Sorean's death leads to Melia joining the party fully and Vandham's is a big reason Nia came out as a Blade) or would go to war at all. Plus, why would Monolith Soft show them in the trailer and hide their faces but NOT their most recognizable physical attributes? At that point, why not just show that it's them? It's all just real weird imo.

I really hope that the theory you have is correct. It would be amazing to have a darker undertone to a xenoblade game

I think its very possible that the world fused together at the exact moment The Conduit disappeared, however that doesnt mean that it had to occur before Future Connected. The flow of time across Universes could be drastically different. So between Shulk killing Zanza and Gramps flying below the dissipated Cloud Sea, decades could have passed, theoretically. I also do not believe that ANY previous characters will be returning in major roles. I assume that Rex, Shulk, Fiora, Pyra/Mythra and all the other characters aside from Zeke, Azurda, Nia, and Melia are dead. If they arent, I see them only recalling their tales and the moral decisions they had to make. How they were manipulated and trying to steer the party in a way that they can'take the same mistakes. However, I don't think they will play any significant/staying roles. Takahashi likes his self contained stories with small references. He would want to move past those games and onto his story. He will carry over concepts, but not likely any characters. He's attached to the story, not the characters (as sad as that may be to some people). The UMN, Wave Existence, and Zohar are definitely going to be tied into this. Okay, as for your story predictions about the timers, I totally agree with the clock tying into the life spans of the citizens/soldiers. However my main interest/ theory is about the "real enemy" Think about it, Xenoblade 1 and 2 had half of Klaus as major characters, Xenoblade 1 also had Galea as a major character. Remember the inferno Guldo and the Fog King similarities? Who is there to say that Galea didn't somehow become transported not to an adjacent dimension, but a higher one? What if she has directly interfaced with the collective? Not only is it plausible, but its likely. You would need a malicious villian to carry out this next phase, a malicious villian with a reason. She lived through the wars with the saviorite rebels, she delivered Klaus' retribution "from on high". She has many reasons to be the one pulling the strings for this, and she has the capability to do so from such a position. Not to mention its likely that she too was split in half when the worlds separated. Half of her went to XBC1, and the ither half to the Higher Dimension. This half would also be her worse half, since Klaus was the positive conscious and Zanza was the negative conscious, its plausible to assume since Meyneth was the positive half, that the remnants of Galea would be the negative half. I think this is a likely scenario since it brings all the initial characters to a close in their arc, and we can start the next chapter of the Xeno story after this has been wrapped up.

What I want to see most is a decrepit poppi alpha statue over an unmarked grave in a nopon village. That and Skell like vehicles. I want the first one more though.

I’m so hyped for this game

"Poppi might even eventually join us, just be prepared for the worse." Another round of Tiger! Tiger!

These are interesting theories. I hope Malos somehow returns since I would like to see him with Pneuma and Ontos, but I do like your theory of either Pyra or Mythra becoming Logos. I also wonder what Gramps is up to or if he is even still around.
