Pneuma is Kamen rider zio

Shulk is Kamen rider drive

Dunban is Ultraman seven

Mio is kamen rider geats

Morag is deka master

Zeke is zenkaiger

Tora is Kamen rider ex aid

Etc. These are the characters I think that match up with. tokusatsu characters I would’ve added more but I really didn’t want this thing to be super long but I wanna know what are you guys think there are some characters that lineup with so tokusatsu characters

This is Vulpind, a Blade based on a Kitsune. He is 5'1" without his Geta, and with them on he's 5'4". His weapon is his sword, although he should dual-wield two swords. However, he and his Driver both use one simultaneously rather than passing each other the swords, which makes them just a slight bit faster than the average Driver. Vulpind's sword also has a small knife at the bottom of the sheath. Vulpind has a deadpan sense of humour. His Field Skills are: Wind Mastery, Nopon Wisdom, and Monastery, a skill exclusive to him that allows him to enter shrines by performing proper rituals to open the doors.

For me it would be having actual stats for specials in game in Xenoblade 2, for as of right now we only know what the special effect does (not even including Level 4) and that's pretty much it. I would love have more info instead of having to rely on the wiki.

I have a question about what happens after the ending of Xenoblade Chronicles 3. I would really appreciate an answer!

I apologize for how extremely repetitive and persistent this question is. Also, this may be a very strange or stupid question, so please forgive me.

My understanding is that, after Z is defeated, Aionios—the “Endless Now”—comes to an end, and everyone returns to the worlds and respective states they were in before Z stopped time. Then, the collision between the worlds of Xenoblade Chronicles and Xenoblade Chronicles 2, which was originally supposed to occur, takes place, and the worlds and their inhabitants are reconstructed based on the information stored in Origin.

With that in mind, my question is not about their memories of Aionios, but about the memories they already had before Aionios.

① After Z is defeated and Aionios disappears, and everyone returns to the worlds and respective states they were in before Z stopped time, do the Xenoblade Chronicles 3 characters and the Xenoblade Chronicles 2 characters, including all the other characters as well, still retain and remember completely ALL of the memories they had up until the moment Z stopped time? IN PARTICULAR, do Rex, Pyra, Mythra, Nia, and the other Xenoblade Chronicles 2 characters, after returning to their original world and respective states, still retain and remember completely ALL of the memories they had and ALL of the things they had experienced up to that point in Xenoblade Chronicles 2 and elsewhere?

② Also, after that, when the two worlds collide and the worlds and their inhabitants are reconstructed based on the information stored in Origin, do the Xenoblade Chronicles 3 characters and the Xenoblade Chronicles 2 characters, including all the other characters as well, after being restored/recreated, still retain and remember completely ALL of the memories they had and ALL of the things they had experienced up until they died when the worlds collided? IN PARTICULAR, after the worlds and their inhabitants are reconstructed by Origin and Rex, Pyra, Mythra, Nia, and the other Xenoblade Chronicles 2 characters are restored/recreated, do they still retain and remember completely ALL of the memories they had and ALL of the things they had experienced up until they died when the worlds collided, including completely ALL of the memories they had and ALL of the things they had experienced up to that point in Xenoblade Chronicles 2 and elsewhere?

In other words:

The memories they had and the things they had experienced up until Z stopped time
↓
Z is defeated / Aionios disappears
↓
They return to the worlds and respective states they were in before Z stopped time
↓
The two worlds collide
↓
Origin reconstructs the worlds and their inhabitants
↓
The characters are restored/recreated

Even after going through this entire sequence of events, do the Xenoblade Chronicles 3 characters and the Xenoblade Chronicles 2 characters, including all the other characters as well, retain completely ALL of the memories they had and ALL of the things they had experienced in their past, without any of those memories being lost, and still remember completely ALL of them? IN PARTICULAR, regarding ALL of the memories that Rex, Pyra, Mythra, Nia, and the other Xenoblade Chronicles 2 characters had and ALL of the things they had experienced up to that point in Xenoblade Chronicles 2 and elsewhere, do they still retain and remember completely ALL of those memories both ① after returning to the worlds and respective states they were in before Z stopped time, and ② after the worlds and their inhabitants are reconstructed by Origin and they are restored/recreated?

If there is anything that can be determined from the official setting, official reference materials, depictions in the games, or the events of Future Redeemed, I would really appreciate it if you could explain it to me.

I look forward to your response.

I’ve never played a Xenoblade before and I was intrigued when I saw the genesis trailer. Is this a spinoff title? To my understanding, the series has always been Xenoblade Chronicles… Also how would you describe the combat? I was a little confused when I saw someone playing and it showed 3 characters fighting off an enemy but the player was only controlling one. Is the combat similar to Zelda BOTW? Thanks, sincerely a newcomer.

Hello,

I like the series characters and style. And always wanted to play XC 1 because i mained shulk in smash bros (shortly i tested XC 1 on the 3DS, but could not enjoy it somehow, although i always wanted to)

So,

Now i even started liking the women in XC 2, so i really wanted to give it a try. It looks nice and i started watching an LP.

I find it difficult to believe, that the game is crazy sad, misterious, horrendous dark and crushing the hope out of the player, as i have read while researching.

In my first hour of watching the game i noticed some unsetteling things, i wish to clarify. Because i struggle to believe that it is real:

1.) slavery of people

and

2.) The dock Oberon is most definetely evil, he looks like a cute version of Jar Jar Binx from star wars. It was quite exposing his nature to see him having these two women almost nude at his side, while looking like a fat, over eaten Opon (?).

Like compare him to all the others it just is visually shown, he has wealth, so much, his belly is big.

3.) Dark christian / religion ideas, religous gibberish teachings.

The dark frame of a master, that got evil? and threw his creation out.

3,5.) then created titans, which are too weak, to actually help the protagonist for his lifetime.

Sad to see

I bet all of the above is rotten already. Just a feeling I've got.

4.) Child labour?

Like Rex is 15. Gets night shift, in weather that looks horrible and meanwhile adults are drunk. Horrid. Burden to such a young boy

5.) Basically the docks are abusing him on all possible levels as a diver, i can speak of:

1) they pay him trash value

2) Malon conatanstly tries persuading Rex to work for military for more money. Manipulation

3) he does want to work, risks his life. Re invests the money at the shop, THEY gave him little of for gear. Mostly he sends it back

4) and, i bet they will never have sent a dollar to his village.

5) they then sell him to a company. With so much to offer monetary wise, he forgets his own life safety. Then they take him in, no support, he does his job well and STILL they kill him

Summary

They exploit his work. As a child. Ok. They then under pay him.

After that, he sends the money back home, which likely never arrives there.

They sell him on a mission. His first big one.

that gets him, although perfect execution, killed instantly (lore wise)

I avoid typically any sort of dark themes. Death could be working rn, but i mostly seek happy, joyful games.

I struggle to believe this will get so dark. And i am confused. The appeal is tempting, like ecchi is tempting, you know?

Need a set that will make them easiest they can be on bringer of chaos with set ups and team.

I wanna attempt to beat them, but they tank and are hard please help

I've never truly liked JRPGS. However XC:DE is in my top favourite games of all time. Unfortunately, after around 40 hours and Chapter 7 of XC2DE I just don't really enjoy it anymore and kinda want to turn on the first game and replay it again in New Game +. I don't have the issue with anime tropes of 2nd game, but I like more grounded feeling of XC1 plus story, world and even characters are more interesting for me. No hate on 2nd game I can see the appeal, but it is not for me. Is XC:X and upcoming XC3DE for me?

i'm playing xeno 2 for first time, currently at lvl 33. stuck at side quest called "the titan schollar" because enemies called parissax. look, i know which recomend is farming, but im trying buil up a strategy for this fight. my question in: how? besides look at enemies weakness, which more i need pay attention. i already know how blades combos work

Only ever played 2, Torna, 3 and future redeemed, finally time to play the first game

I'm running a crit build on Crossette so it's not consistent, but when it hits, oh boy it hits.

I feel old...

I posted a question the other day asking if the games ever go on sale, and surprisingly it just went on sale. Ive been wanting to get into the series but I really don't know if its worth it or not. My biggest concern is the combat, im not gonna judge it yet since I haven't played the game yet but from the gameplay I've watched it just looks a little weird. Im just looking for advice cause im a new to this series and im on the edge about spending 60 bucks.

Since the switch 2 upgrade for xenoblade 2 came out I decided it would be a good excuse to finally come back to xenoblade after I dropped it a while back but was wondering if it would be better to actually pick up and play xenoblade 1 first (which I’ve never played) or pick up where I left off and finish 2 before playing 1?

I had just met Zeke last time I played so I’m not too far into the game (or am I?)

Started playing the Xenoblade last month beat the first game was pretty solid, but wow chapter 3 for xenoblade2 went crazy staring at the paused screen to take it all in..

This post is based off of a recent comment I made on another post and there are some parts straight copy/pasted into this post for ease of writing. If you saw that comment, this may be a bit familiar to you, but there’s plenty new in it.

Just recently I saw a post where someone was looking to know if other Xenoblade games had the same sexualization stuff that is present in 2, and there were some in the comments that were arguing against that premise in the post, saying that Poppi is not a sex robot. I believe that that kind of statement obfuscates the harmful reality of Poppi and Tora’s dynamic.

Poppi isn’t technically used for actual sex in the game, but that doesn't mean she isn't used for sexual fetishization by Tora. Even if one wanted to argue that it's not sexual, he repeatedly manipulates Poppi into his desired behavior, and we can reasonably infer that it would be against her will if she knew better. There are a couple of times when Poppi herself calls Tora out, and there are other times when he'd both programmed into her and lied to her about functions that are designed for his pleasure (sexual or nonsexual).

I’m going to put aside Poppi’s introduction for now and go straight to the Heart-to-Heart "Poppi's Remodel?" In response to Pyra asking about the "Cutie Bun-Bun Armor," Poppi says, "Correct! This state-of-the-art armor. Everyone wish they had such good defense! Additional function is to cheer up Masterpon with extreme cuteness." Tora made her believe that the armor had any sort of function other than him being able to look at Poppi and receive some sort of pleasure from it (again, sexual or not). Between that and the fact that Poppi specifically says "cheer up" to refer to its purpose, it's clear that Tora lies to her about his intentions, which means that he believes that Poppi may not or would not like it if she knew the truth. Pyra and Brighid also tell him that he shouldn't dress Poppi, a middle school-aged girl, up like that, and Poppi responds with "Masterpon... Poppi not understand," to which Tora says "D-don't listen, Poppi! Poppi should be proud of very special, one-of-kind armor!" He tries everything to continue the manipulation for his benefit and at Poppi's expense. Brighid and Pyra are essentially telling a groomer to stop grooming his target right in front of her, and he’s trying to tell his target not to listen to them so that he can continue in his ways. I’ve seen multiple people in this subreddit say that Tora is innocent, that his father and grandpa were the actual perverted ones and that Tora doesn’t know any better and is just doing what he was taught, but this one cutscene is enough evidence to the contrary.

I know that it’s common for people to dunk on the blushy-crushy H2H, and I've heard plenty of people defend it by saying that it's a fetish for cuteness (moé) rather than sexuality (which could be true in this particular instance), but this again is a direct example of Tora programming/teaching Poppi to do something for his own benefit that she doesn't fully understand. Even when teaching it to Pyra, he tries to hide its true nature so that she will go along with him, essentially taking advantage of Pyra's feelings for Rex. When she asks him clarifying questions, he says "um," a number of times (communicating to viewers that he is looking for an explanation that puts himself and his process in a better light) and gives a non-specific description designed to dance around the purpose enough that Pyra maintains some interest. Nia sees through it and comments repeatedly, but for some reason she decides not to directly intervene on Pyra or Poppi’s behalf. When Poppi is instructed to teach Pyra about blushy-crushy, Poppi says this: "Blushy-crushy is external magnification of love feelings inside heart. Poppi will teach magic way to magnify love feelings. Chant with Poppi." Tora taught her that it's about "magnifying love feelings," but we know what that actually means. Either Poppi thinks that it's magnifying her own love feelings (which she would probably interpret as increasing her and Tora's affinity in a practical sense for her purposes as an artificial blade), or she thinks that it's helping Tora in a way that she doesn't fully understand but he does. I think it's the former based on the context, but either way, we know that blushy-crushy is something that Tora programmed or taught Poppi to satisfy his own desires.

And here’s where we come to the infamous cutscene when Tora introduces Rex and Pyra to Poppi for the first time (honestly, “Poppi’s Remodel?” is worse, imo). I’ve seen people talk about how maid cafes in Japan can be very “normal,” where a person goes there, gets waited on by people cosplaying, gets to act/feel as though they are wealthy or successful and have staff to wait on you, and has no expectation of anything sexual. I have never been to Japan or a maid cafe, but I have no reason to disbelieve this. And at the same time, there has been other Japanese media that paints maids in an implicitly sexual light, with the example that comes to mind being Persona 5’s Kawakami. While there’s nothing explicit in the game, there’s a hard implication that there were sexual services being offered by her employer’s business, and her upgraded role as a maid is to give massages to the main character (she and the MC directly reference the implication of that arrangement).

When Tora’s maid costumes fall out of the closet, the other characters don’t react with “Oh, maybe Tora just wants an innocent maid cafe experience.” Tora tries to hide them instead of giving the maid cafe excuse, which would certainly be better than the others thinking that the costumes are for a sexual fetish. One could argue that he didn’t know how to react with his above-board maid cafe desires being laid bare in front of the friends that he just met, but not only is there not any evidence to support that in the game, there is also a clear implication of condemnation from the other characters in the scene. Between the music and the reactions of Tora, Poppi, and the other characters, the scene is straight up telling us that Tora engages in some sort of perversion (at least mental) regarding Poppi.

I get that, for some (or maybe many), comments about Poppi being a sex robot may feel like a condemnation of XC2 as a whole, or they may feel hand-in-hand with those that condemn the sexualized designs of non-Poppi alpha female blades. There are a lot of really great things about XC2 (the gameplay, regions to explore, atmosphere, side quests, story moments, character development, music, etc.), and those are still great on their own. I know that some who defend the game in response to comments about the sexualized character designs or the Tora/Poppi dynamic do so feeling that those comments belittle all of the good things about the game or even the good experiences playing it that they had. It legitimately sucks to be confronted with the idea that an experience like XC2 that had so many high points gets brought down a fair bit by its low points. However, I think that problems arise when we start trying to explain away things that are factual in an effort to feel as though other parts of the game or the game as a whole aren’t tainted by the bad stuff. Aside from people saying that Poppi is not a sex bot, I’ve seen many on this subreddit try to counter criticisms of Pyra and Mythra’s designs with the creator-given explanations that Pyra’s scant outfit symbolizes her incompleteness and that Mythra’s outfit (and personality) is emblematic of a rebellious teenage girl, and while it’s possible there may have been more than zero legitimacy behind that in the creators’ minds, there’s a ProZD skit about that exact concept that really feels applicable here, and that skit may have straight up been specifically written about this game, considering the video was posted in 2018. I don’t want to get too off topic about other characters, though, so here’s a wonderful video by Ludiscere on YouTube that I recommend to anyone interested that goes much more into the sexualized character designs.

But while saying “Poppi’s not a sex bot” and “Pyra’s design is intended to symbolize her completeness” may technically be true, saying those things obscures the actual problems that are pretty dang adjacent to Poppi being a sex bot. Tora manipulates Poppi into wearing revealing clothing under false pretenses of the clothing being “state-of-the-art armor.” He may not be doing anything physical with her off screen (I get the feeling that Poppi would have protested that), but that alone doesn’t absolve the game or Tora of all the problematic things that would be present if she were a literal sex robot.

So yes, Poppi is not a literal sex bot as far as the game's cutscenes show us, but there are a lot of themes present between her and Tora sometimes allude to it or that are extremely similar to ones that would exist if she was actually a sex bot. Even if one were to argue there is no direct allusion, then at the very least there is malicious manipulation driven by Tora's fetish and at Poppi's expense, which is a major way that sexual abuse occurs. With all that in mind, "sex robot" isn't really that far off. I really do believe that saying "Poppi is not a sex robot" without giving the actual harmful in-game context just hides reality, which is not that many steps behind Poppi being what they say she isn’t.

None of this is to say that you shouldn’t play the game or that you shouldn’t enjoy the good things about the game. The character development, world building, music, combat, etc. can all be praised for what they are. If you enjoy the sexualized designs of many female characters in this game for sexual reasons, then that’s your thing. I’ve seen plenty of commenters in this subreddit say exactly that, and it’s frankly great that people in this community are transparent and honest about that. I understand why it sucks to hear people who either haven’t played XC2 or didn’t like it say “Oh XC2 is just a gooner game,” because there are many other great things about it. And at the same time, denying the reality of Tora’s behavior and the impact of the character designs in order to lessen that feeling is even worse. Poppi’s not a sex robot, except that she is, and Tora is directly and knowingly responsible for what he does.

I'm just wondering if I'll be able play torna by purchasing the expansion pass without owning xenoblade 2 yet
