#xc3 — Public Fediverse posts

I know that trying to guess what's gonna happen in the #xenoblade #XC3 DLC is futile and I am nowhere near powerful enough as a philosopher to try to grok what is going on, but here's my thoughts about what could be going on:

If there was a free space in a Xeno series bingo card, it would be "Gnostic references". You can analyze the entire series from the Gnosticism angle and then a lot of the weirdness will just fundamentally make sense.

One of the big things that Xenoblade 3 seems to focus on is the fall of the Archons and their leader the Demiurge. In Gnostic thinking, Yahweh is actually the force of evil, the Demiurge, and is itself beneath a greater power that sent Christ and the Holy Spirit to help save humanity.

Jesus Christ is regularly known as Logos, one of the cores in the trinity processor. A purple core. The one that Malos uses.

The Holy Spirit is also known as Pneuma, the core of the trinity processor that Rex parties with in Xenoblade 2. The one that pleads with a higher power (The Architect) to let her life end.

If Malos is the word, Pyra/Mythra is the spirit, then that leaves one conclusion: Alvis is the demiurge.

I'm not sure why Z would be fighting Alvis with Shulk and Rex, but I think that may end up being explained very early or very late into the DLC. Xeno games dump like 50% of the plot details in the last chapter of the game, so I suspect that Z's involvement will become clear then.

Of course, it's Xeno, so we have to assume that all the information we have been given was intentionally chosen to mislead us as much as possible.

Watch all of this be fantastically wrong, but I suspect that this will be the true "kill God" end to Rex and Shulk's character arcs.

Pyra and Mythra are probably dead from Moebius killing them. Same with Reyn, Sharla, Zeke, Morag, and Tora. We might end up seeing a lot of that in flashbacks or it'll be a core part of the plot.

I suspect this will take place fairly soon after the Infinite Now begins (though at that point time is so fucky that it doesn't make a meaningful difference probably). Probably also going to have some lore dumping about the reincarnation system of Aionios. Probably gonna also get some fanservice for the Aegis by a painting in Rex's house or something.

Dude became a DILF tho.

Ok, enough whining. Time for me to *contribute* here!

Hmm. I'm on vacation. So, um... yeah. How about that delightful rainy cool PNW weather? I'm loving it!

Oh yeah, and then there's that banana bread I made this weekend. Moist and very bananey. As always, I added candied ginger, cinnamon, and ground galengale so it's more like banana spice bread.

Let me see, I'm sure there's more I could say about something.

Anyone else enjoying #XC3 (Xeonblade Chronicles 3)? I've pretty much finished it plus the current DLC. About the only thing I have left is getting everyone up to rank 20 with all the hero options. Looking forward to the next DLC. Hopefully I won't forget how to play before it comes out.
