FOR ALL U SONGS OF WAR FANS!!!

THIS SONG is PERFECT for the story of the Voltaris clan, starting from pre Great War! Every time I listen to it I can only think of the Voltaris!

It’s worth listening to, and worth really actually listening to the lyrics in context of the voltaris.

My favorite lyrics from this to apply to the Voltaris are “Inside their little world they tried to be understood, but all that came of it was a mess” -(ref to their fascination with songs and making of prime songs resulting to tensions leading to exile) and “these are people too fearless to die out, though they’ll never escape from the rise now.” - (ref to their determination in the Great War/ second war, and how it only ended in their annihilation)

PLEASSSSEEEE Yap with me if u agree

Well... If you hurt the Talleous's loved ones, you start a game that is really dangerous for your health... And your life... (Well, you know, Killer of Voltaris and all that... This guy is up to his neck in someone else's blood)

Also a Hawken family tree. Morgan was the one who discovered redstone... And he gave it a name in honor of his surname... XD

(Not that peace-loving guy... The war does very terrible things to the psyche of its participants... Very terrible things...)

XCX DE

At long last I have beaten XCX DE (Chapter 13) before discussing the specifics of chapter 13 first a progress comparison between a main story of DE and my post game Wii U

Primordia and Oblivia are a bit less here because I put more effort into doing segment recons of them in the Wii U post game while here I focused more on quests which is why all the NLA spots have a looooooot more filled in for DE and in Blade Barracks I’m only missing an affinity mission where the recommended level is 80… technically I can do it now (cause I’m level 63 which is more than the cap in Wii U) but there are a few affinity missions I have left that are probably easier so… anyways Noctilum is also more in DE probably due to questing in DE… Sylvalum is also less in DE than Wii U probably cause of segment recon and Cauldros has ended up the most done (non NLA) region in DE… because of a character that requires 1000 prerequisites to unlock INCLUDING Cauldros 65% surveyed… so yeah… now on to the actual Definitive Edition content first of all WHY IS THE NEW STORY CONTENT ALL “Chapter 13” like seriously why each act is about a chapter long anyways (I’d argue 13-3 is actually 2 but still…) it’d be one thing if XCX ended on a chapter 14 cause 17 is an odd number to end on and 15 is perfect… but no like they could have just made each act a chapter and had 15 here… I guess it could be connected to the whole thing were after you beat the new content you go back to how things were after chapter 12 but still like why not like “Finale” or “Epilogue” for the new story… IDK Chapter 13 just always seemed weird to me here… now for more in depth spoilers

I thought because of the reveal of DE showed a new area that this “chapter 13” was going to take place solely in a new region of Mira which would justify it being all “one chapter” but even that’s not true… and I gaslit myself into thinking there was no new region until the very end with Voltaris… speaking of… I think the area concept of it is great… IDK maybe I’m just a sucker for the whole late game area where you lose all the things that that made you OP and have to recover them… cause that’s legit great granted… you get Elma and Lin almost intentionally early and then I found Doug early who I had as member #4 through most of the game so… still I can at least appreciate the effort here… and finding all the party members does give you nice rewards… I also like the idea of optional battles that if done can make the final boss a lot easier but is by no means required which adds replay value to it… as for the final boss… NGL I’m not a fan of the stationary “turret” bosses where they just stand there making all arts that target the back or sides worthless… I think it might be Xenoblade’s “dragon” bosses to reference FE unlike FE’s dragons I feel like these “turret” bosses are just completely lame and I’d honestly would be quite glad to go one Xenoblade game without seeing that type of boss EVER AGAIN!!! Like seriously who fought XC3’s final boss and thought “oooh giant floating head what great design… cause yeah it REALLY felt like that to me… and also looked like Amalthus a bit too… but also just I didn’t like the final boss much I mean the design is… just the colour blue…

like seriously you can’t look at these pictures and tell me there’s a significant difference you really can’t… I also feel like it’s too difficult of a fight under the circumstances of you can’t do ANY sidequests until you win… granted all XCX story bosses are the same… but like at least then apart from the NLA invasion you could do other side quests or segment recon in 13-3 you can ONLY do things in Voltaris… which there really isn’t much when you got all the spears and characters I was like level 60 ish on my first attempt and I failed a loooooot so… yeah after grinding my team to 62 and making a more dedicated build to fighting void (a second level 50 skell and focus on damaging augments quickly) I won easily and you know if this were any other Xenoblade game I’d go yeah the boss isn’t that hard but again it’s the whole can’t do any side content until you win so… as for the story… man I have to admit it was kind of lame… I just… I don’t like the whole “Oh actually it WASN’T JUST Earth that blew up it was the whole universe” is just… lame like… you can destroy earth or the milky way galaxy and still wipe out humans taking out whole universes like it’s nothing just really makes the world of XCX just feel small… like what are all sentient lifeforms in XCX from different universes too? I just and the whole universe hopping thing is just really confusing… and sure you can say “oh universes have been destroyed in previous Xenoblade games” but like no not really and even then it’s like what once a millennium in those cases like think about it Elma watched 3 UNIVERSES DIE!!! That’s where it just becomes too ridiculous to the point of stupidity honestly… I honestly can’t help but feel like chapter 13 was just monolith soft’s way of connecting X to 1-3 and not at all the original plan for a X2 and I think whatever the real continuation of X was exists in a timeline where XC2 didn’t sell as well and XCX was the best selling Xenoblade game… but then the ghosts and ganglion blew up that universe too… IDK could just be me or it could be the years of fan speculation trying to figure out if XCX has a connection to 1-3 making X2 live up to expectations that couldn’t be met… though I have to question how the hell is there two seemingly separate universes that both seem to be based off reality (X and pre 1 and 2) I mean granted that seems to only be noted in some random merch so that could be retconned or ignored easily but it’s still weird… and I can’t say I’m looking as forward to an X2 as much now…

I’d also make this my banner image here but Ga Jiarg being in it makes it a spoiler…

๑Alright just a heads up, this is gonna be a whole ass rant about Songs Of War๑

I can't be the ONLY one who has a heavy fixation on SoW. Like the animation and voice acting ARE ASTOUNDING. The show was part of my childhood and I loved it. It's a shame that Squared Media(Black Plasma Studios) couldn't work on season 2 & 3, it had good potential. But that's not what I'm going to talk about, I'm talking about the fandom. It's so DEAD, for a show that got millions of views I expect there to be more content about SoW.

I. WAS. WRONG

THERE'S BARELY ANY CONTENT FOR IT AND I AM ABOUT TO EVAPORATE. When I have a fixation, I go to reading FICS about it, specifically a reader insert since that makes it more fun. But when I check there was only ONE (This fandom is so dead it's actually sad)

If I could I would make the fandom revive from the dead, the content posted each year is pretty low for me and usually just a few are public. I'm hoping this can reach other SoW fans who also want the fandom to revive since this is so upsetting Ó⁠╭⁠╮⁠Ò

(Also look at my BBG Ingressus here)

Little note, I know I am a writer and could easily write for the fandom but the writer block is a HUGE thing for me and my motivation SUCKS. Im also not pleased by my writing than for other content written by other people

Some Songs of War ardoni headcanons!

Sendaris

Sendaris, said by David one of the writers of SoW, tends to live near water. So I like to think that they have webbed hands & feet.

Nestoris

The establishing shot showing all the ardoni clans, Nestoria is shown to have cliffs and I like to think it's also pretty high. So I like to associate them with birds, Eagle spcifically. They have feathers on their head and by their ears. The ones on their ears are normally given by loved ones. And the ones on their head are given by the masters upon being inaugurated into the clan.

Voltaris

I headcanon that the Voltaris are ancestors of some nether species- idk what one I want to make them an ancestors of tho. And that they have goat-like hooved feet since the nether is based on Hell and goats are associated with Saten. It also fits that for a good few 100 years they lived on a mounted.

Kaltaris

I headcanon for Kaltaris that they have better hearing and smell than the other ardoni, and are more attuned with nature than the ardoni already are. They also have claw-like toes to help with traction.

Mendoris

I headcanon that they are ancestors of endermen. They have longer limbs then normal ardoni, and with the way I draw the they have darker skin and lighter hair.

CHAT- I'M STILL WAITING FOR THE CONTINUATION PLZ!?!?
