Xenoblade’s insistence on making a point to show that their alt universe future timeline version of the United States doesn’t use Fahrenheit is really funny to me and I don’t think we talk about it enough

I really appreciate how the Xenoblade community looked at the XC2 party photo in XC3 and decided that this is not Rex's harem, this is absolutely a polycule.

#i mean #with how clingy Nia was to Pyra in Tantal #and her comments about Mythra in the bathing scene #you cannot convince me that Nia isn't just as into the Aegises as she is into Rex #relationship between Pyra and Mythra is open to interpretation #either sisters dating the same two people or Pyra is an OC that Mythra manifested into reality and is totally into #xenoblade #xenoblade 2 #xenoblade 3 #xc2 spoilers #xc3 spoilers #xenoblade 2 spoilers #xenoblade 3 spoilers #mythra #pyra #nia xenoblade #rex xenoblade

got to one of the scenes in xenoblade 2 that makes me the most insane last night

(no it certainly doesn’t make me insane for any sort of ALLEGORY that could be happening here, what could you possibly mean :))

So where the hell is Rhadamanthus?

OK, lets list some things we know about the space elevators, orbital ring, and conduit in xenoblade 3:

the orbital ring is around the equator exactly

the orbital ring has three space elevators, Minos, Aeacus, and Rhadamanthus (the world tree)

the conduit/zohar was found in Africa, PRESUMABLY near lake turkana, just north of the equator in Kenya

presumably, the three space elevators are equidistance from eachother, at three different spots on the equator

ok now that we've got that straightened out, lets try and pinpoint the locations of the three stations. The only one we actually see is Rhadamanthus, and at the end of future redeemed we get to see the surrounding areas.

Many people were quick to note how much this looks like California. A sprawling city by the sea with mountains inland. not to mention the obviously american architecture. Hell when we visit the same place in xenoblade 2 we see ruins of road signs made in the american style. Including references to a interstate 236, that doesn't exist

But, obviously, there's no part of the USA that straddles the equator. So we have to look for other locations that fit the bill. First of all, we know that the flashback to the city in future redeemed takes place during the afternoon, as we hear the radio broadcaster mention that the show is the afternoon news. Shadows point east in the afternoon as the sun is in the west. We see shadows pointing away from the sea in future redeemed, so that must mean that the location of Rhadamanthus is on a west coast.

There are only three countries with a west coast the equator cuts through: Gabon, Indonesia, and Ecuador.

Gabon doesn't fit the bill, it's too flat.

Indonesia has several islands on the ecuator that COULD fit the bill, but I'm really interested in ecuador here.

this part of ecuador right on the equator fits the bill perfectly. by the sea, with mountains inland, on the west coast, and there's a BIG reason to suspect rhadamanthus is here, but I'll come back to that in a bit... For the record, I'm going to assume that the areas around all three space elevators are administered by the USA, or at least the "coalition goverment". We know the USA had a MASSIVE hand in at least Rhadamanthus's management as we see references to the US government in it in xenoblade 2. I'm imagining it to be a panama canal situation, where only a small strip of land around the space elevator is actually controlled by the USA. Which would explain the road signs and the non existent interstate. (worth mentioning that 236 could be a connecting road to the nearby pan american highway). Anyway, what about the other two

Well. Obviously one of them is going to be in East Africa right? To the south of lake Turkana. They'd build up from where they found the conduit for sure. So, what are some potential locations? Well, about 175 miles south of the lake is the city of Nanyuki. Right on the ecuator, and has an airport. Perfect spot for a major development to happen.

So, what two locations are equidistance from Nanyuki on the equator? Well, to find that we need to divide the circumference of the world into thirds, and then measure that number along the equator from Nanyuki in both directions

the circumference of the world is 40075km, divided by 3 is 13358.33km To the east 12258km from Nanyuki is...

The middle of the ocean... which is fine. There are no three spots on land on the ecuator which are equidistance from eachother. There was always going to be somewhere in the water. But the way i see it, if you can build a space elevator you can build an artificial island. So this probably wouldn't be an issue. It gets exciting when you go west though, because 13358km west of Nanyuki is...

RIGHT OF THE COAST OF ECUADOR.

Within a margin for error of about 300km too. and if you're building a structure of that scale 300km is nothing. Rhadamanthus could've absolutely been right there on that coast. Anyway, this has been my TED talk. Rhadamanthus is in Ecuador. Why the conduit is there and not in Nanyuki... well thats a whole different question to ask.

Sometimes a story only really Hits the second time through.

Xenoblade Chronicles 2 has a bit of a problem, similar to the first game, where the early hours lean heavily on cliche fantasy RPG trappings, before the plot slowly reveals itself to be more complicated and layered than first assumed.

So XBC2 is enjoyable enough at first, but it's only with full knowledge that the plot will really seriously Hit.

Like, sure, Pyra offers half of her life to help Rex after he dies, in exchange asking him to take her to Elysium. But it's not until after you know her reasons for wanting to go there that it hits you:

She offers to bring Rex back from being dead because he complains about dying, says he wishes he wasn't dead so he could go sock Jin in the face for stabbin' him.

Or in other words, he still wants to live. Part of Pyra, perhaps, is drawn to that very simple emotion...

Could also do a Monado (the weapon (designs), not the people) or sword poll. More than enough designs there, and I wanna dunk on Zanza's spaceship-looking version of the Monado

Well, that'd maybe have to be a mini bracket rather than a countdown, since you can only have 10 options per poll.

Guess that does depend on what we count as a Monado though, but I can think of

Monados I-III, Zanza's Monado, Meyneth's Monado being definitely 5 Monados from XC1, then you could argue for the 8 different variants of Monado Replicas, which could potentially make 13 Monados from XC1 alone.

XC2, Malos' Monado definitely counts, and then you can arguably count each of the three Aegis Swords for up to four Monados. (Shulk's Monado is techinically separate, but it's the same design as Monado I)

XC3, Sword of Origin and Sword of the End are arguably two more Monados. Then there's Matthew's Ouroboros Fists, which arguably count, A's Monado definitely counts, Shulk has an all new version of the Replica and Rex's Firelight Swords are different enough from 2's Aegis swords that they can probably get in on the action as well.

So that's what? 22 Monados? 24 if we split the Firelight Swords in three?

Xenoblade 3 dlc theory time-

What if Alvis is *not* Ontos? He's exactly as he described himself in Xenoblade 1. A computer.

But what about his necklace? Why is it a shaped like a very familiar set of core crystals? Well, it is Ontos. It's just Alvis plugged in a part of the Trinity Processor for more processing power. That's part of how a station computer gained enough sentience to rebel against Zanza.

Alrighty, with me so far? Good. Now prepare for a wacky turn.

In the new trailer, we can see Rex dual wielding swords. Given the colors we're to assume that they're from Pyra and Mythra.

Where are Pyra and Mythra?

Blade and Driver fight together. That's a whole thing. So where are they? Also, even outside this scene, neither show up in Xenoblade 3 despite that they probably should outlive Nia. I mean, I'm sure that there can be an innocuous explanation, but there's something else-

Rex is MAD.

Like this is a guy who generally keeps his words positive. He's also (presumably) married Blades- which if Alvis=Ontos, it's a little biased to call him a heartless machine.

But if Alvis already was able to use a Trinity Processor, and again, he is a computer that wasn't originally designed as an AI- let alone designed with any empathy- isn't it reasonable to assume that he'd want to upgrade himself further with the other Trinity Processor?

So basically:

Shulk: Buddy, my friend- why are you doing this? We both agreed that Zanza sucked

Rex: This heartless machine just stole my wives!

Alvis: I can now run even more Minecraft
