Mai-HiME Episode 25 complete! I'm not sure how I feel about this show having so many of the characters fall in love with their stalkers. Maybe it's meant to enhance the tragedy of the HiME or something. --- https://imgur.com/WqDcNNq https://imgur.com/89Z5jrB ... Copied to Clipboard!

Oh, you're ahead of me now. I just beat Xenoblade 3 Chapter 4 just now. I was pretty shocked when they said the queen's name was Melia. My pet explanation was that it was a different person. Like the little pre-release material I saw didn't give her name despite the fact that she looked just like Melia. It felt necessarily dodgy so I thought it was going to be a different person behind the mask. Then she turned out to be a robot. I didn't recognize the sword either but I'm bad at things like that. My guess was it was related to Noah's Blade because N looks like Noah. Eunie was fantastic through out all the Colony 11 shenanigans. She's also fantastic in general. I wonder if the respawned Ethel was in one of the containers that was taken and that's an excuse to re-active her as a selectable Hero. --- My bracket looked like random picks compared to his.

Mai-HiME complete! The power of love prevails in the end. Overall, pretty good show. Don't think I'd watch it again, but it's got a solid cast of characters and a decent blend of action and slice of life. It feels like a lesser version of Full Metal Panic, but that's not really a bad thing. --- https://imgur.com/WqDcNNq https://imgur.com/89Z5jrB ... Copied to Clipboard!

Yeah, the ending definitely undermines the significance a lot of its own themes, but I was kind of okay with it because otherwise the ending winds up being kinda heavy and bittersweet (which is also fine if you do it right but yeah). --- https://imgur.com/WqDcNNq https://imgur.com/89Z5jrB ...

Finally decided to get this newfangled Xenoblade all the kids have been talking about, by which of course I mean Xenoblade Chronicles 2. Finished whatever the first part of the game is--which means either I finished chapter 1 or I finished the tutorial and am just starting chapter 1. Game started out solid but I can't really comment on much specific given that they're clearly just throwing me in the middle of a story with no idea what's going on or why. I think I like the setting of this game more than the first one, at least. Also I'm sorry but I think I might be a Pyra simp. --- I didn't do guru this year but azuarc can be in my sig anyways. ...

Xenoblade 3 spoilers for that Hero Quest That was sort of my reaction as well. "Moebius is behind everything" was something I thought the party had figured out several chapters ago. Was the allaeged retirement based on Gold rank mentioned before? That kinda feels like something that should have been established back in chapter 1 when colony ranks and what there were for was being introduced. But if it was, I don't recall seeing it. I also thought it was fairly likely that the Moebius came around to wreck Gold colonies since that's pretty much what Eunie's flashback showed. I thought this possibility was a big reason the party was so worried about the situation. But, it didn't seem like they actually figured out much on that end either. Like the party would go help either way but I thought they had worked out more of the higher level problem than they did. --- My bracket looked like random picks compared to his.

Xenoblade 3 Chapter 5 + early Chapter 6 spoilers RIP Mio. And Mio, you really, really don't need to apologize over having long hair. >_> To be honest, I wasn't really as suspicious about Riku as Thorn seemed to be in earlier comments. But, it's pretty hard to overlook the signs at this point. Was it really necessary to wait over a month to give Noah some hints about what he needed to do? I'm still not really sure I get what N is trying to do. Like if I'm understanding things right, Noah and Mio were already on a path towards the same ends that wore N down. Without N's intervention, Mio dies in a month and Noah has about a year more assuming Z doesn't end it early again. Not much to be jealous of there. N could just sit back and watch the inevitable bad end while laughing the whole time. One thing I wish I did was keep track of all the various Consul letters. I know who I, J, K, M, N, T, X, and Z. I feel like there was an O and P somewhere? But, I forget what other letters are used. I guess M will be reused for Miyabi later on? But, it feels rather unlikely N will open up for Nimue. So who knows how that will play out. I still can't believe Nia somehow become a queen. How did she get roped into doing that? --- My bracket looked like random picks compared to his.

Xenoblade 3 spoilers and also endgame Xenoblade 2 spoilers. Xenoblade 2 doesn't really say much about what happens to any of the characters after the end of the game. Like Nia's claim to fame is she is part of the band of heroes who saved the world. But, she's not really associated with any country and has no people under her. She didn't really seem the type to want to rule either. I like short hair Mio, too! I guess one down side the long hair Mio is she is stuck with just one costume. Her old body is gone, so probably for the rest of the game as well? Xenoblade does sometimes have a disconnect between what goes on during game play and what is going on in the story. Like even more that just the target being alive or dead, sometimes I'm stomping the boss but the party is having a really tough time in the following cutscene. --- My bracket looked like random picks compared to his.

Xenoblade 3 I think I've just been assuming the ones the disappeared were dead unless they very obviously were alive and actively teleported away. So I think in my head (of the non main story Consuls), only the Consul of Colony 11 escaped.

I've been playing more Xenoblade 2, but I don't actually have much to say. The game told me to go straight to a large town, but I was having none of that and so most of what I've done has just been wandering aimlessly around the first big area the game gives you. I did get a chest guarded by a level 90 dinosaur by dropping down from a higher elevation behind all the monsters though, so take that game. I did advance the plot a little bit. I think the game is falling a bit into the trap of having more systems than I actually want to manage, but so far it seems like I can proceed by just ignoring large chunks of it and only engaging with the things I want to engage with. In case those read like serious complaints--they are not. They are basically jokey/nitpicky comments, and I am enjoying the game quite a bit. --- I didn't do guru this year but azuarc can be in my sig anyways. ... Copied to Clipboard!
