“pandy…? is something the matter?”

your blade had been avoiding you ever since yesterday, barely even looking at you and refusing to speak to you. you had decided to leave her be at first, thinking she'd calm down over night. but that didn't seem to be the case.

“hmpf–!” was the noise pandoria made in response, turning her head away, to avoid your gaze. “just go hang out with pyra again! you've gotten good at that…”

you almost laughed in response, perplexed that this was what pandoria was pouting about. but you swallowed down your laughter and tried to stay serious.

“pandy, i didn't know you would get this jealous…” you smiled, resting a hand on pandoria's shoulder. but she continued to pout.

“you've been spending an awful lot of time with pyra. what's it like dating two girls at once?” pandoria huffed in response, which finally made you chuckle and shake your head.

“pandoria, you know i only love you.” you remind your girlfriend, sitting down next to her. “pyra has rex, you know that. and i have you, right…?”

you took pandoria's hand, tapping the wedding ring on her finger.

“you're the only one i want to be with, dummy. that's why i made you my wife, remember~?”

pandoria mumbled something to herself, as you slightly tilted your head, giving her a confused look. eventually, she spit out:

“i-i suppose you're right… just… p-pay more attention to me from now on, alright? i don't like having to fight for your love…”

Happy 7th Anniversary to Xenoblade Chronicles 2! It's one of my favourite games of all time, despite its flaws, and it's so personal to me. It's helped me a lot with my identity and sense of self over time and it's a big reason Xenoblade 3 and Mio are so personal to my own identity.

I first played Xenoblade 2 after Xenoblade 1 first came out. It took a little to adjust to the tonal change from 1's more serious and emotional tone to what seemed like 2 being a sillier and goofier game on the surface. Despite that, I loved Rex's personality straight away, same with Nia.

The game starts off with a sense of whimsy and humour that really appealed to me at the time, and I still am really in love with the way the humour in the game works. It's silly but in a way that's nostalgic for me given the kind of shows and games I grew up with, like Pokemon for example.

I also loved the way the music brings you into the vibe straight away. Argentum Guild for example, has a very fun, happy, "we're on a new adventure, here we go!" kind of vibe. It drags you into Rex's journey straight away and also establishing reasons he's working so young, to repay his family.

Then the events with Torna, Malos and Jin in which Rex is killed and the tone shifts. Rex dies due to simple curiosity. He was just in the way due to trying to bond with the Aegis. I love how it shows the world's brutal nature so early after a typical happy RPG vibe the game starts with.

Pyra's first meeting with Rex has such a hopeful but emotional feeling, Pyra is just confused but also pitying Rex for his fate. However, Rex's hopeful nature surprises her, so she decides to save him by becoming one with him.

I love the next sequences where we see firsthand on how Rex changes others such as Pyra but also Nia who realised Torna were going too far for her own liking and it helped her realise she needed to leave to go on her own path and find what she wants to do.

This is when the game opens up, and Gormott especially, is just nostalgic for me. The music, the exploration, it's all perfect to me. The game carries on in a similar fashion and I fell in love with it more and more. Then we start meeting the other cast members as the game progresses.

I love Zeke and Morag so much and how they balance the party out with a more serious mentor figure and the more playful but supportive one. They both play a big part in Rex's development and the party is like a big family, which is so comforting to me.

Nia's character is why the game is so personal to me though. I relate to so much to her situation, the way she feels she doesn't belong anywhere and has to alter herself and fake herself to be accepted around others. Despite growing attached to Rex and the party, she's still scared.

'What if they hate me?' 'I can't handle someone else I love betraying me.' She keeps her body and past to herself as long as she can due to this. She however, decides to finally be honest when she realises she can save others due to who she is and to her surprise they accept her.

Nia was one of the characters who helped me accept myself and gain confidence over time despite my unique circumstances and issues in real life and it's due to this that Mio felt representative of my real self more outright. She's Nia's daughter and has a lot of her similar traits.

However, she's more closed off and self deprecative due to her circumstances and struggle to trust others. She feels no one can understand her, so she doesn't even try. The others help her come to terms with herself by the end of the game though and the ways how represent my experiences.

Overall, I love Xenoblade 2 as it's a vital experience to me and my identity and without it I might not have progressed to become the person I am now and I'm thankful for it due to this. I love this game so much and I can't believe it's been out for 7 years now.

I finally beat Xenoblade Chronicles 2 yesterday and aside from thinking it's one of the best games I've ever played (you know it's a good game when you finish it and you feel dead inside because of how good it was) was that I really wanna kiss several characters in that game.

summary: pandoria cooking makes you realize something...

“woah, this food is really good–!” you mumbled, as you kept eating your blades home made food. pandoria had been meaning to surprise you with something nice and nothing could beat her cooking!

“you know, pandy…?” you smiled, taking another spoon full of food. “you're pretty, you're funny and you can cook… you'd make the perfect wife!”

“h-huh–!?” your blade's eyes widened at your sudden words. yet you didn't even realize how much you had flustered her…

[gnosticjade]

I still love how Zeke, Pandoria and Turters are parodies of Team Rocket appearances from the Pokemon anime. I've always loved these scenes in Xenoblade 2.
