“FUN FACT: Xenoblade Chronicles 1 Came Out Before Xenoblade Chronichles 2″

Good for them, love wins <3

Lure can miss in Xenoblade. I just never noticed this, and it’s likely this can occur in all versions of the game considering how most of the code was carried over to DE.

I’ve uploaded some scans of individual pages in the Xenoblade Chronicles Definitive Works art book. Of course, big warning for spoilers, theres art of stuff all the way up to the final boss. Not much for Future Connected though.

Its not all in one PDF right now because I haven’t had time/energy to scan every page. What I did scan is stuff that is new or was really pretty (imo). For now, I also skipped over the concept art of Kino and Nene. I got very tired.

No video proof yet, but in DE, fiora uses magstorm voice lines when dazing enemies. I thought I was imagining it.

Vanea and Riki share the same Japanese voice actor, Yuki Kaeda. 

And here’s an additional comment from the English fan translation of The Secret Files

[xenoblade-trivia]

Just processing these facts about Yaldabaoth from The Secret Files fan translation.

- Yaldabaoth has “Homs organs”, not just blood. 

- More about symbolism in Yaldabaoth’s design

Transcription under readmore.

Image 1:

“Gold Face. The Faced Mechon that Egil uses. It was originally called Yaldabaoth, the most powerful Mechon of all. It runs on Homs organs like the other Faced mechon, but unlike them, it can house a Machina pilot...”

Image 2:

“A golden mandala burning for vengeance. His body, surrounded by a golden aura, evokes that of Tutankhamun, Buddha, or mandalas. The 7 protrusions on his back resemble a “sotoba”, an epitaph panel for Buddhist funeral rites. His ominous mask alludes to a skull, but the head in its entirety has the same design as Egil’s.”

Image 3:

Design Details. No.004: Full View. If you consider that Egil fits entirely in the head of the Mechon, you can understand just how impressive his size is, when compared to other Mechon. The end of his organic looking tail is like that of a priest’s cane.

For people who haven’t seen yet, a fan translation of the Xenoblade The Secret Files has been made now, after 10 years of it only being in Japanese (and French, I believe?)

I promise this blog won’t devolve into comparison screenshots, especially with me being completely absent and exhausted for months. But it’s absolutely pertinent that I point out that Shulk does not eat the sandwich in Definitive Edition. 

The model appears to be updated to make it seem like a bite has been taken out of it, yet he is still only pretending to eat the sandwich.

Not original content, I just wanted to share an interesting video I found. 

At 2:45, Paradigm & Erico list some fun facts, so that’s worth checking out, if you just want the gist. 

[xenoblade-trivia]

Egil’s boss fight in Agniratha contains a dubbing error specific to the English version. In all battles against Egil, a filter is used to make it sound like he’s in Yaldabaoth. This filter is still used even when he fights outside of his mechon. 

This issue isn’t in the Japanese version. In the Japanese version, Egil’s voice does not have a filter during the boss fight in Agniratha. 

(Egil battle quotes in English)

(Egil battle quotes in Japanese, no filter is used after 1:08)

[xenoblade-trivia]

The Mechonis’s right arm has been redesigned in the defenitive edition to resemble Fallen Arm. Left is DE, right is original.

Can I just say. My only reaction to this entire news is “Wow, I can’t wait to take screenshots of egil in hd and 100% this game a third time!”

[xenoblade-trivia]

In the unique comments for the sidequest “The Master’s Successor”,Riki refers to Dobadoba as "Dobaba".
