    Monolithsoft is freaking insane developers. I mean they make X, 2, Torna, 1 definitive edition and 3 in less than 10 years and they still help with other Nintendo project like splatoon, animal crossing and botw. Nintendo is lucky they acquired Monolithsoft indeed.

    could Noah be Shulk and Fiora descendent, the blond hair person playing the other Keves flute be Noah family member? most people be like but Noah black hair? the answer Fiora's brother Dunban has black hair and some gene characteristic can skip generations. plus the shape of Noah sword is every close to that of Monado 3 from Xenoblade

    My theory with the clocks is that both sides of the war are being fought by artificial, clone soldiers specifically bred to fight and die, and they have fixed lifespans represented by clocks in their eyes. When they talk about filling up the clocks, perhaps part of this soldier race's design is they can raise their lifespan by killing their enemies?

    Vangamme/Vandamme almost always have a crossed shape mark on their face. They appear in every Xeno game. Also the Vandamme in XC1 didn't die in that game. This is far more likely a descendant of XC1 Vandamme than revived XC2 Vandamme.

    I believe you are correct that both sides shared a culture or at least a origin before splitting into two. I do think there will be an element of life moving on and how it is not for one reason or another.
    Perhaps something keeps repeating and Melia is trying to fix it. The last thing I wonder is if both sides are in the wrong and the heroes find the truth and stop this cycle of both sides fighting.

    I have a bit of a theory, there isn't a lot of supporting evidence, aside from some similarities in the landscape shots, but I believe it's possible that Aionios is actually the planet Mira in the past.
    Spoilers for XCX:
    I've always theorized that Mira was the original homeworld of the Samarians. There, unfortunately, isn't really any hard evidence to support this since we know so little about the original Samarians, aside from the fact that they appeared in the X universe at some point in the very, very distant past and created the Samaarian Federation, that they created the original Ganglion, or whatever species that Luxar is part of, as their servants and at some point completely disapeared. However, we also know that Human DNA is similar, or identical, to Samaarian DNA because of the effect that the DNA pool in the Lifehold has on Luxar in the endgame
    This is where XC3 comes in, Mira does weird things with space time (and might also be an intelligent planet but that's a whole other theory) and there are a lot of very blatant references in the game to XC1, such as the Sword of Legendariness, Nopon referencing 'the Great Frontier Village' and Telethia the Endbringer, amoung others. Now, if you look at the Xe-Dom enemies in X, and similar ancient machines left behind by Mira's inhabitants, they look very similar to some of the machine designs we've seen in the XC3 trailer and promotional material so far. Further, because Human DNA is so similar to Samaarian DNA if Mira really was both the original Samaarian homeworld and also the XC3 world, Aionios, then the Samaarians would actually be the descendants of Klaus' humans. While the XCX humans are their own people and not the descendants of Samaar as Luxar believes them to be.
    As we learn more, we might be able to draw more connections, but that's all I got for now. I really need to play through X again, but I'm at a dorm in university so I don't really have access to my Wii U at the moment.

    I think Mio having a tattoo could mean that she was once a part of the Keeves (probably unlikely) but then became a part of Agnus, because in the trailer Noah asks her why did she side with "them". This could mean that she had a role as a part of the Keeves, but ultimately chose the Agnus. (I know there is evidence debunking this, but then again it is just suppossed to be my theory)

      People keep mentioning this but I'm confident it's just the lighting engine being weird with shading depending on the camera angle to be honest, as Xenoblade 2 had some weird contrast issues when transitioning from Darker to Lighter environments & vice versa. The game still has about 6 months before it needs to go gold / be certified for game card production, so it is entirely possible (and I think likely) that there are just some kinks with the lighting engine interactions with character models at certain angles to the camera that need to be ironed out.

      @@samreddig8819Disclaimer, I’m not a programmer, but I’m pretty sure it’s somewhat unique to the lighting and camera angle with how the light interacts with the high entia wings. I’m pretty sure the wings are a bit complicated with how they have varied geometry combined with the nighttime battle scene with multiple light sources due to various fires etc. When Eunie takes cover behind the rock just before the camera change to Taion you can that it actually seems to be a combination of harsh shadows with her seemingly grey’ish brown wings in the scene, possibly from getting dirty during the fight seeing as she had just dive rolled just prior. It’s all speculation but thinking about it further I take back my previous post about it being a lighting quirk, and instead I now believe her wings are just more of a grey with a tinge of brown towards the tips and harsh shadows in various places just make them look substantially darker then they really are at times. Sound plausible? This is my current conclusion for now. It also just seems out of place that MonolithSoft would throw in a cosmetic tease for a single character during what is a plot centric trailer. So that leads me to believe it’s a misunderstanding of what’s happening with the lighting in the 3 out of 7 scenes we see Eunie in.

    • @itouch5VideoBlog
      @itouch5VideoBlog 2 роки тому

      Another referendum. Her wings are definitely more Grey then other High Entia we’ve seen, even Melia’s. Eunie’s wings also fade to a light brown at the feather tips. Combined with lighting casting shadows from one side or the other, I’m convinced it’s a combination of these things and her wings themselves aren’t changing color or getting dirty despite what I just suggested in my last comment.
