I hope there is something as broken as Poppi QTpie in this game.
Intentionally playing the flute badly to own the coloniesI understand making a rhythm minigame out of funeral rites might have been tasteless

Takahashi, you sneaky bastard lol! I you
He accidentally the whole planetI mean he has to be. He snuck a whole planet!
They’re stuck on a different planet...He accidentally the whole planet
We know Takahashi reused the opening of Xenosaga 1 for the Conduit's origins already from the info card with the Siren model kit but it only says it was found somewhere broadly in Africa rather than specifying Lake Turkana. I wouldn't be surprised in the least if we get more info on the conduit in 3.
Yup, I've seen the movie many times. I believe that's where they got the name for Monolith softThat..... Would actually be repeatedly pulled from the source material, 2001 a space Odyssey.

Ah! It chopped your post! It might be a younger n. Or the Noah before n......
now serious crazy theory time lol:They’re stuck on a different planet...

I wonder if that scene isn't with our Noah at all but rather a younger "N".

Help me out real quick, who is "N?"I'm feeling pretty confident that is a young N rather than young Noah.
Dark Noah lookin' Consul fella from the end of the last trailer. Not his official name, but what people have decided to call him based on the other Consul namesHelp me out real quick, who is "N?"
GOTCHA thankiesDark Noah lookin' Consul fella from the end of the last trailer. Not his official name, but what people have decided to call him based on the other Consul names
N is his official name going by the website dataDark Noah lookin' Consul fella from the end of the last trailer. Not his official name, but what people have decided to call him based on the other Consul names
"Hope's Rest" reminds me of "Hero's Rest", the original name for Fonsett Village from Xenoblade 2.The direct has official captions now. Only two interesting things I gleaned were on the scene with the crashing ship, person speaking says “how many of you are getting made an example of on Hope’s Rest this time?” and that Manana says the Annihilator is moving, which I think a fair amount of people were able to hear initially but nice confirmation.
I haven’t played Xenogears or xenosaga so I don’t know if the name Hope’s Rest has any parallels in those games

That Noah doesn't seem to have the mark on his hand, so I wouldn't be surprised if he and "N" are the original Noah.We know Takahashi reused the opening of Xenosaga 1 for the Conduit's origins already from the info card with the Siren model kit but it only says it was found somewhere broadly in Africa rather than specifying Lake Turkana.

I'm liking your theory....very close to what I've been theorizing.now serious crazy theory time lol:
Xeno-spoilers ahead
When the event where Alrest and Shulk‘s new world collides (the latter coming from its original dimension/computer simulation/parallel universe to Alrest/Earth after the Cloud Sea vanishes), the combined big terrain mass (Aionios) separates itself from the planet creating a big floating world (there are some scenes on the Direct that seems to indicate this) and that’s the explanation of seeing the Earth in the distance… When the game story is finished the Conduit power will transform Aionios in a spheric planet and transport it to a parallel universe and will become Mira…
There is a landmark in Tantal called Hope's Horizon in Xenoblade 2. Maybe it's the same place if Tantal's hereThe direct has official captions now.

Yup, I've seen the movie many times. I believe that's where they got the name for Monolith soft
An archeology team discovering the monolith in Africa is unique to Xenosaga + Xenoblade though. In the movie, I don't believe they ever discover the one that was on earth and only the ones on the moon and near Jupiter. I never read the book though, it might be different there
One of the heroes, "Mashiro" (CV: Aoi Yuuki). He is a special healer who can give random enhancement effects to allies. His class is "Hoshibioshi," and he can strengthen the entire party with powerful support effects, too! Belonging to Agnus, she waves a large flag-like blade to raise everyone's morale.
And a tweet talking about hero quests. Hero quests have yellow exclamation marks. This means that face mechon boss in the release date trailer was not a story boss but actually part of Valdi's hero quest.Heroes are special characters who join Noah and his friends in the party. Heroes can be recruited by completing "Hero Quests," which are special quests that deepen the bond between the Hero and Noah. Traveling around the world in search of new Heroes sounds like a lot of fun!

Yea they're looking like the replacement for Blade Quests or X's Affinity Missions. I'm a little unclear if you get the class as soon you recruit them or if you still need to build affinity after recruitment. The Japanese version of the direct shows Manana gem crafting instead of Taion so it seems like heroes will participate in affinity building camp stuff like cooking.Boy those sure are a whole lot of soon-to-be-dead-Fiona-friends
Also, does that mean that the Hero quests will have fully animated cutscenes? That's pretty sick
I'm thinking she might actually be new oni race. I know the game's all about mashing up 1 and 2 but it seems like they still want to stick some new stuff in here and adding a new race is a cool idea. Her accent doesn't sound Australian like Urayan's. I might be wrong and perhaps someone better at this stuff could correct me, but I think she sounds Irish which is an accent no nation has had before.Anyone else think one of Fiona’s friends there looks a little Urayan-esque?
Also I’m liking how NPCs look here compared to prior games. Monolith’s stepped up their game.

Oh her friend! I'm sorry I misread your post and thought you were talking about Fiona herself. Not sure about that friend's race. The glowing hair would indicate a blade though there's no core crystal. The skin tone looks like it could be Leftherian as well as Urayan.Wait, have we heard Fiona’s friends speak in English somewhere?

edit: I guess the glowing part could be the fin-like ear though I don't recall Urayan's features glowing like that. There is an NPC that looks like a more traditional Urayan in the affinity chart.
edit 2: Actually that looks like a core crystal on her forehead similar to Jin's and she has ether lines so definitely a blade. We're talking about the one in the back with the short dark hair, right?
You can see an Urayan (maybe two) in the affinity chart in the direct.
I'd bet on the horned oni people being their own race as well. Like it has been pointed out Fiona doesn't have an American accent and there are other horned people like her in the affinity chart. Maybe a planned race/titan that didn't make it into Xenoblade 2 and is now being repurposed? Or maybe an offshoot of blades like Electra that grew enough in numbers to be considered their own race.
For lil' Noah, I'm leaning more towards him being the 'original' and both Noah and N being offshoots of him. This is based on nothing but recycling concepts from Xenogears but hey, it's already worked more than once with this game.
Could this be the title screen?
4 8 15 16 23 42And I'm assuming "The Lost Numbers" is what the name of Vandham's faction is. Not sure what to think of that name yet.
i agreeIs it me or is this definitely the best looking Switch open world game?
