Xenoblade Chronicles

You also need Goetia to not die before the two even show up.

Goetia was boring and had nothing going on. At least Ryyz and Dagahn had personality. If anyone were to get cut from the story to flesh out the remaining villains better it should be Goetia.

Don't forget a far bloodier and gorier death!

I thought that Ryyz literally was Goetia with scars the first time I saw her. Between Ryyz and Goetia, Goetia has the cooler name and design (HEINOUS outfit notwithstanding) so I say stick with her.

For me, it was easy to mistake Ryyz for Ga Buide, given their large ears and white skin. Thankfully, this would not be the case.

I hate Ryyz so much that I think she's genuinely a source of misogyny.

...How?

The people arguing about which Ganglion was least completely redundant and here I am wishing Ga Buidhe and Ga Jiarg were party members.

They almost were, and I greatly hope that if they're still around for X2 that they're playable. Assuming that there's no huge timeskips involved, anyways.

Well, let's just say that showing footage of Ryyz to Anita Sarkeesian would prompt the latter to say "Alright. I get it now."

An exaggerating joke, but that's how my opinion on Ryyz.

I do agree that the Wrothians could have used more involvement, if not some kind of playable status. At the very least, their recruitment mission should have been mandatory in the main story.

Honestly, both rysz and goetia would be prime material to give to anita for that kind of reactions. they're both stereotypical assholes with personalities done over and over each, and both are ridiculously oversexualized characters. (Seriously, who the fuck designed ryz and her metal nipples ?)Rysz's "only" worse 'cause she looks and act like a low/mid teen.

that aside, yeah, the wrothians were damn cool.

Dammit I just want a proper conclusion to that game. Same general structure of the game, just put more into the badass cutscene section and actually finish your story. if at least kicking goetia's ass concludes with a cutscene like the one in nagi's affinity mission, i'd be fine with the villains.

And maybe make the final battle being in space and controlling a skell piloted by a skell piloted by a skell piloted by a skell. with ''I'll find myself the key we've lost in hell'' as the battle theme

Sold!

I mean, there is a whole other alien armada involved in the kabooming of the Earth that still needs to dealt with. And various other alien factions, and lore about the Samaar Federation.

X is ripe for EU, but everything and everyone just has to be stuck on this fucking planet.

We could've had a fantastic space opera about fighting xenocidal alien religious conglomerations and an unstoppable Horde of Alien Locusts... Okay, so basically Halo, with mecha.

Welp, you've done it now son:

Come to think of it, the title kinda is fitting. It's like Mira really is just a big pool of tar that traps everything that comes near it and makes it impossible to escape.

Every time I look up the lyrics I wonder what the hell were they thinking. If this was supposed to mirror the feelings of the characters as they live on mira, they messed up hard somewhere.

the only time those lyrics aren't mood whiplash is the water plant quest.

guess the writers were stuck on their own different planet.

When it comes to the lyrics, I usually just chalk it up to it being Sawano's style for vocals songs making some attempt at fitting the game...even if it doesn't quite sound right due to engrish or weird lyrics.

right,now you mention it blumenkranz's lyrics were already out of topic in kill la kill.Before My Body is Dry's weren't, surprisingly, but it seems to be the exception.

The other thing with X soundtrack is that at times it feels like the director told Sawana to do Gundam Unicorn again but without making it Gundam Unicorn.

I like it and Sawano is one of my favorites, but I wish X's soundtrack could have had a more unique feel.

Also Switch get and 2 Special Edition is officially getting ready to ship!

I listened to some of the X soundtrack and it never sounded that good. Engrish lyrics never sit right to me.

Given the sheer amount of cut story, I get the impression the lyrics to Black Tar, Uncontrollable, etc, were written for an earlier draft of the plot where they had far more of a connection. One lyric, "Seeing ghosts scatter" in context sounds more like its referring the to the cut alien race (the one the Ganglion are fighting in the intro that, indeed, were called Ghosts) since it seems like it's comparing encounters with them to encounters with "Black Tar", rather than just, well what you normally mean when you refer to ghosts. :P

Same with Uncontrollable; the story originally featured the Ares as the player's Skell, and it was indeed a tandem-piloted one, with the protagonist and their costar. So it having romantic overtones seems like it was originally meant to reflect their characterizations.

This songs sounds a lot like the Satorl Marsh night music.

And for some reason, the English version of the trailer from the Direct if you want to get a feel for the voice acting.
