* One implication of the very last image in the game, the title screen image that showcases the setting of what happens "next" in the story [[spoiler: is that Rex ends up in a type 8 among possible TriangRelations, namely Rex holding both Mythra and Pyra's hands as they look over the new world. While your choice of what Rex calls Pneuma determines whether its Pyra or Mythra who mouths "I love you," earlier scenes (such as where Zeke says Pneuma is the girl Rex loves, and much earlier when Zeke asks which one he fancies and he says he doesn't think of them as two people) makes it clear Rex sees them as two halves of the same person and loves them both. They likewise see each other as two expressions of the same person, so sharing Rex once they get separate bodies may well feel quite natural. No indications of a OneTrueThreesome though since neither Pyra or Mythra exhibit any sexual interest in the other, as again they regard themselves as in a sense the same being. Another hint to such an ending for the trio can be seen in the last of the illusions Rex experiences when Klaus looks inside his heart, with Pyra and Mythra living with him as if they were both his wives.]]

* [[spoiler: It was recently confirmed that Nintendo's next console will release in the year 20XX. We know this is the year that competitive [[VideoGame/{{SuperSmashBrosMelee}} Melee]] reaches its logical extreme, the original [[VideoGame/{{MegaManClassic}} Mega Man]] series takes place, and of course, the year the Salvator Rebels attack the Rhadamanthus Beanstalk. Considering the Slave Generator technology seems to be popularized at this point (the Artifices use it as a power source and the model of the Salvator ships indicate that they use it as one too) it wouldn't be a surprise that Nintendo would use one to make their hardware more powerful.]]

* Technically a WMG for both ''VideoGame/XenobladeChronicles'' and ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros'', but hear me out: what if Master Hand is an entity that can travel between dimensions the select fighters for each ''Smash'' game, but he takes different forms depending on where he is as a disguise. He's taking the appearance of a Nopon in the challenge arena so he doesn't unduly freak out Shulk and Rex. But what's his purpose there? He's looking for new fighters for ''Smash'', and he's basically calling Shulk, Rex, etc. for ''tryouts.''

* It's admittedly a little bit puzzling as to why this song doesn't play in any scenes featuring Jin, but the melancholic, yet deterministic nature of the song could very well be a reflection of the way Jin views [[spoiler:Lora]], possibly as a last-ditch cry for help while his [[StrawNihilist morality and ideologies are skewed]].

We have the protagonists (or [[{{Deuteragonist}} deuteragonists]] in [[VideoGame/{{Xenosaga}} KOS-MOS]] and Fiora's cases) of every other ''Xeno'' game appearing in this one, but for [[ScrewedByTheLawyers obvious reasons]] Monolith couldn't directly put Fei in the game, so they did the next best thing; give Rex a common blade whose [[BareFistedMonk basic moveset]] matches what Fei-as-a-Blade would have been. Light would be a better fit than Wind for Not-Fei's element, but since common blades can't use Light due to Mythra's monopoly on it, Monolith went with Wind as the closest thing to it.

* In Torna, Mikhail doesn't think much of people like Lora or Mythra once the village he was enslaved at being destroyed turns him into TheStoic, and the only person he's freely willing to open up to is Milton, the Gormotti boy who accompanies Addam. Meanwhile, in present-day, while Mikhail is a complete CasanovaWannabe for women, his Heart-to-Heart jokingly has him telling his Driver he wants to marry them, regardless of whether they're male or female, and even though he's joking, he's not ashamed to say something like that out loud. It's possible that Mikhail learned to appreciate women more as he grew up, and the only reason why he doesn't show interest in guys upfront is because [[spoiler:the death of Milton, the only boy he freely opened up to, caused him too much mental anguish to afford freely showing interest in guys anymore]].

* Where it was used by the Goddess Hylia to create Fi [[spoiler:(and by Demise to create Ghirahim)]]. The Master Sword is referred to as the "''[[ExactWords Blade]]'' of Evil's Bane," after all, and has more than a few powers in common with Blades in this game. Fi even appears to have a Core Crystal on her chest, just like Pyra and Mythra.

** Shulk will be the protagonist again, but if the Blade system returns, his Blade would either be Fiora or Pyra/Mythra, [[MoneyDearBoy for cynical reasons]] and explained via plot contrivances (such as the even more cynical but entirely possible move of [[PutOnABus benching Rex]] via even more plot contrivances in Pyra/Mythra's case).

Azurda shows that titans themselves have young forms, they don't start out gigantic. Blades are a previous stage in the life cycle, but calling them "baby titans" is a bit misleading. A better argument against Turters being a larval titan is that he has no core crystal visible.
