History Heartwarming / XenobladeChronicles3

* Despite having just been reborn and not having any memories, Ethel and Cammuravi recognize and quickly remember each other when they meet again in the City during the latter's Hero Quest.

*** Extra heartwarming is that this discussion happens in the Memorial Hall, with statues of her husband Rex and two of her descendants Matthew and Na'el. One-third of the current City's Founders are of her bloodline, and no doubt she was there looking at the statue of Rex for strength.

** To add to the group photo's adorableness, Dromarch is clearly fawning over Nia's baby, who's laughing and having the time of their life interacting with the big fluffy kitty.

** Nia's quests center around reminiscing on the world and how previous places changed in one way or another. The ascension quest is centered around how much she trusts the main group on building the future (on light of how the universes will be separated once again), where the group also tells her that she's part of it too and that they want to be with her in the future they build.

* When the team face down M, Taion expresses uncertainty about being able to bear hurting somebody who looks identical to Mio. Takes on an additional dimension when it's revealed that Mio was actually in M's body for their entire fight.

* Riku and Manana stick by the protagonists despite the fact that Nopon in Aionios can't fight directly. ''Especially'' with the implication that unlike every other species from the last two games, Nopon aren't under Consul control. These two could just leave at any time, but stick by their friends up until the end.

*** This has some extra weight in hindsight considering ''Future Redeemed'' where [[spoiler:Riku is the one who made Shulk's prosthetic arm.]] Valdi's mech arm might be bringing back some memories.

** Also, during the downright depressing segment when your in the Jail's Solitary confinement for story reasons, during Noah and Mio's talk before her Homecoming there is a cut to everyone else's reactions to hearing this... and when it cuts to Riku and Manana they are holding each other’s wings tightly.

** When in battle, Nia is accompanied by spectral versions of Pyra and Mythra's respective Aegis Swords, signaling that even a millennium after the events of ''2'', Nia's friends and potential lovers are still with her, even in spirit.

** Melia's quests center around her directly helping the people of the colonies with their problems, and culminates in her ascencion quest where, although she says that she's willing to sacrifice herself for her kingdom, the group tells her that she's as much of a member of the kingdom than everyone else, that they want her to enjoy herself and not just think of taking care of the people all the time. Due to this, Melia has a flashback to [[VideoGame/XenobladeChronicles1 Shulk and the rest of her friends in the first game]], being reminded of how she felt with them as much with the main party of today.

** For extra heartwarming points, both ascencion quests have themes from the previous games playing, Melia's being [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HFBfUFtYsL8&ab_channel=NintendoMelody Shulk and Fiora]] and Nia's being an instrumental version of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H4-5xRMX9DA&ab_channel=NintendoMelody Drifting Soul]].
