History NightmareFuel / XenobladeChronicles3FutureRedeemed

* One key difference of Aionios in ''Future Redeemed'' is that the Mor Ardain titan can be seen between the the titan Uraya and the Mechonis Sword. Given how Mor Ardain is nowhere to be seen in ''3'', it's safe to say that it ended up being destroyed by annihilation events. And considering that Keves Castle is now located in ''3'' in that exact same location, it can also be deduced that Fort O'Virbus was built out of the ruins of Alba Cavanich.

** Alpha's OneWingedAngel form is something to behold. Unlike Pyra and Mythra's fusion [[BishonenLine being easy on the eyes]] or Malos utilizing [[HumongousMecha Artifice Aion]] for his final fight, Alpha transforms into a metallic red-and-white being with a static face that looks like it was sculpted from marble, all of which makes him heavily resembles [[VideoGame/{{Xenogears}} Deus' final form]]. His voice is also deepened heavily, making sound much more alien than he did in what was previously Alvis' body.

** Na'el happily telling Matthew about how good the new world is along with the children playing and eating snacks is already strange, but listening closely to the radio in the background tells a whole new story - the newscaster on the radio is talking about humans leaving Earth to the stars via [[VideoGame/XenobladeChroniclesX Project Exodus and the Earthlife Colonization Project]], and that bit of news is immediately followed up on by the failure of a Saviorite human rights protection bill in being passed by politicians. While Na'el is excitedly going on about how great the world is, the radio confirms a different story altogether - human rights protections are failing and people are fleeing the Earth, thus showing that Na'el really isn't listening to what has been happening on Klaus' world. A appears and tells Na'el that she must've thought about what all this leads up to and how it ends, which a flock of birds immediately flying away in the distance, as if something terrible was approaching. The surroundings then change to a darkened sky and the ruins of the human city in the distance, showing that despite Na'el's hopes, Klaus' world was prone to the same strife and human suffering as Aionios was.

** Ghondor then has to watch as Alpha in his granddaughter's body and his father who had fallen to evil begin fighting, and both are equally matched, until N manages to get the better of Alpha and is prepared to finish them once and for all - and then Na'el, in fear, asks for his grandfather to help her. Whether its a WoundedGazelleGambit or not is left ambiguous, but Ghondor [[PapaWolf grandfatherly instincts]] kick in, as he jumps in-between N and Na'el - and N ends up stabbing his own son [[MurderByMistake instead by accident]], [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone shocking N to his very core]]. Ghondor's last moments are then spent looking into his father's eyes, asking him if his mother Mio knew of what N was doing - with N telling him that the burden was his to bear alone. Ghondor pleads with N to not go down this path, telling him that she wouldn't want him to do so, and N can only reply by saying his own son's name softly, knowing that what he chose was the wrong path. And then Matthew arrives calling out for Ghondor, thus bringing it back to the perspective shown from Matthew's point of view.

** Alpha's biggest feat in the game is that he was able to defeat the combined power of [[KillTheGod Shulk]], [[WorldsStrongestMan Rex]], ''and'' [[TheHeartless Z]], [[CurbStompBattle resulting in the former two being gravely wounded]] and the [[BadassInDistress latter being imprisoned inside Origin]] after Alpha took control of it. Repeat; Alpha was able to [[TheWorfEffect defeat]] the BigBad of ''3'' that was said to be the embodiment of the two worlds' collective fears and anxieties, as well as the two champions of both worlds that conquered insurmountable threats in their youth. That alone cements Alpha as being near the top of the totem pole in regards to the strongest beings within Aionios - and based on the timeline of events.

*** Even worse, '''we don't even know when these events were set in the timeline.''' Either Klaus' experiment was the cause for Lost Jerusalem's disappearance, or it was set '''after''' Lost Jerusalem's discovery. If so for the latter, the implications would be... [[HappyEndingOverride unsettling]], to say the least, [[AndIMustScream especially for KOS-MOS and chaos]].

* Shulk and Rex reuniting with their respective children Nikol and Glimmer is a heartwarming moment, but there's also lots of RealismInducedHorror injected into it; Shulk and Rex ''had no idea'' if their children were pulled out of Origin by the Moebius and thrown into the cycle, and if they were, then they have no way of knowing unless if they find them on the battlefield - which would confirm to them that their children have been forced into an endless cycle of war, pain, and strife, which would absolutely be a giant AdultFear for them. No wonder why Rex reacted so harshly when he first reunited with Glimmer; most of it was AngerBornOfWorry, and none of it was Glimmer's own fault.

*** The Saviorite attack on the First Low Orbit Station, as depicted in ''2'', is now given additional context with the knowledge that they are supposed to be the Salvators and are being lead by Yuriev. If their attack on the station is an attempt at claiming the Conduit/Zohar for themselves, then all of a sudden Klaus' experiment with the Conduit comes off as less of the delusions of a man desiring to be [[AGodAmI a God]], and more a last resort to do anything that can stop the Salvators and Yuriev specifically from getting their hands on such a giant source of power. In other worlds, Yuriev is an UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom for the entire ''Xenoblade Chronicles'' series.

* The entire scene on Klaus' world - or rather, a recreation of it. After spending the entire series within fantastical locations or the ruins of the previous human civilization on Earth, the audience finally gets to see what Klaus' world was really like...and it looks like a normal, contemporary human city. Seeing the characters of ''Future Redeemed'' walking around a quiet suburb with the Rhadamanthus space elevator in the background is a jarring sight to see. For Rex specifically, he takes one look at the space elevator and immediately knows that this is the WorldTree from Alrest, thus cluing him and Shulk in to the fact that they are now in Klaus' world.

** Based on the timeline of events, it's highly implied in ''Future Redeemed'', if not outright confirmed, that the entire reason Z resurrected N wasn't just because [[ItAmusedMe he wanted amusement]], but because Z was trapped inside Origin by Alpha and needed an enforcer to follow his will outside of it and fight Alpha - and so by resurrecting N and pushing him over the DespairEventHorizon, he was able to create a [[TheDragon right-hand man]] whose raw despair and sorrow was so powerful that he would be able to match Alpha in power.
