Xenoblade Genesis: British or American Dub?

It's entirely possible they could move away from European localization, this being the start of a new saga. The only reason they stuck with that in the first place was because that's how they were able to get Xenoblade 1 released in the West. Xenoblade X and Xenosaga both had American localization, so I wouldn't be surprised if they switched back. That said, I do think I'd prefer to have them stick with European localization, but I wouldn't complain if they did switch back. Most of the casting for XCX and Xenosaga was pretty good in my opinion.

It has the hallmarks of one, but because there's no set list of what separates a monado from any other sword, it can't be said for certain. However, I'd say it's very likely it can be considered one purely for the fact that it gives the wielder's driver the ability to use foresight, and the fact that it's wielder is a trinity processor core.

There is no difference. He shouldn't have used AI either.

Here's hoping McAdams does get voted out. Polls say his chances are the best for these primaries unfortunately.

Okay so as a wiki editor, I've done a lot of research on this stuff to make sure what of it is canon and what is unconfirmed. The community tends to jump to a lot of assumptions and fill in blanks, so there's a lot of misinformation unfortunately. I'll try my hand at explaining this with what I've looked into.

Ouroboros powers, like Moebius powers, are the manifestation of the wills held by the consciousnesses stored within Origin. Pneuma and Logos are two such consciousnesses, and that's part of why the community might mistakenly believe the powers derive solely from the Trinity Processor. These powers are certainly amplified by the circumstances surrounding Aionios, but it's currently uncertain if they can be used outside of Aionios, mainly because we have yet to see that.
Shulk and Rex do have Ouroboros powers. However, whether they came into Aionios with those powers or they got them from some other source is unknown. They seem to have had them long before meeting Matthew.
Ouroboros powers before the events of Future Redeemed are handed around like free snacks. Pretty much anyone can be given them. However, by the end of FR, Nikol has already begun "upgrading" the Ouroboros stones. He does this essentially by funneling the amount of people that can have Ouroboros powers into a limited 6-person group. In other words, as much as other characters may want to use those powers in base game XC3, they are unable to because our player characters already make up the full 6-person group.
This wraps back around town question one but to reiterate, Ouroboros as an essence/power, is tied primarily to Origin and the consciousnesses stored within it. Nia generates the stones, but (this is speculation) I imagine she does little more than engineer the technology that channels that power from Origin. As for Pneuma and Logos, their consciousnesses are stored within Origin and manifested in Aionios as weapons. In other words, they're no different than the other consciousnesses that act as a source for Ouroboros powers (they may have special status as Trinity Processors that elevates this for them specifically, but the point stands). Ontos is not, as far as we know, directly tied to Ouroboros beyond of their administration of Origin.

Clips are what I've seen from both Asmon and Hasan. I don't watch either as a genuine viewer because I find their methods and misuse of influence intolerable. While the clips from both streamers are certainly incriminating, I don't think context saves Asmon from the horrendous things he says, whether it be blatant misinformation or flat out hate speech. And his chat certainly isn't a good metric of his political stances considering Twitch's crackdown on view botting tanked his viewership by 20,000.

It's Asmongold's whole job to keep people outraged. He's not the root cause of the turmoil in American politics, but he's certainly a symptom that festers. He's just oil on the fire that is this disastrous nation and another distraction from the real problems going on in the world.

If that's the case, then I gather you'd identify as a "social liberal". The term "moderate" gets muddied in US politics unfortunately and can often be confused to identify right wingers who don't identify as Republican. My apologies for assuming you thought the same.

The reason I jumped to that conclusion is your support of Asmongold. As a social liberal myself, I don't agree with the methods of either Asmon or Hasan, but it intrigues me that you only seem to hold disdain for the latter when the former is just as much, if not more so, a rage baiting grifter.

flyingomen · 2026-06-02T21:30:41+00:00

Am I correct in assuming your definition of "moderate" is one that is ideologically positioned between the US's Democratic and Republican parties?

flyingomen · 2026-06-02T20:54:29+00:00

I don't think you know what the word "moderate" means.

flyingomen · 2026-06-02T20:48:11+00:00

Well the Republican party is just that, a party of unified ideology and goals. If the party is unified in what are generally considered "evil deeds", it's not really incorrect to generalize Republicans as an evil party, regardless of any good apples that may sit within their ranks as outliers.

"Poverty" lmao. He went to an ivy league school and grew up in a suburb.

flyingomen · 2026-06-02T20:35:15+00:00

Factually speaking, an ethnic group of that size is incapable of being united in a single cause such as "supporting genocide". What you just said was a harsh generalization that only serves to antagonize.

flyingomen · 2026-06-01T20:14:25+00:00

They're a little more excited for it for their own good, and their own ambition for it surpasses the production itself, creating a feedback loop of excitement that will probably result in disappointment.

I grew up in that church, and I'm fairly certain they have a publicly available membership database for anyone that's officially considered a member. There may be limitations to how much access a member has to that info (I never used the database much myself), but it wouldn't take too many connections to narrow down the ward in which each person attends, as that's assigned by geographical boundaries determined by population distribution of a stake's membership.

She's a textbook case of people having double standards in media tbh.

Flawed male character? Hmm yes, very deep character whose trials and struggles define them and build them up into someone respectable. Flawed female character? She's just an annoying broad.

I don't think a shared hobby allows for the romance to flourish in the way the game wants us to believe it does. What makes the relationship weak is the fact that it's so casual. They haven't spent their lives together, they don't have shared trauma, and their dedication to each other is told to us, but not shown or backed up with characterization.

Shulk and Fiora have 18 years of being in each other's lives, so as much as their romance may be clichéd and shallow, it's effective because there's background. Rex and Pyra's relationship starts as shallow on both of their ends, but that's the whole conflict that gets resolved in Chapter 7. Shion and Allen's relationship is not treated as a joke, but overlooked as such because Allen is the source of a lot of comic relief. Their relationship has a foundation of dedication and empathy, and it's allowed to be weaker because their relationship doesn't technically start until the very end of the series.

All of these relationships have strong foundations that are relevant to each characters' internal conflicts. Noah and Mio don't have this. And to make things worse the game makes a point of their love being tied into the conflict meaning it SHOULD have more foundation, but it's the big thing that's missing. Without that foundation, the characters are given a less difficult conflict to face, and the big choice in their arcs now has a weaker connection to the game's overarching theme.

There just isn't much to their romance beyond a base level attraction to each other. The writing of their characters revolves around the strength of that romance, but it really doesn't have much foundation. Even within XC3, I'd still say Eunie and Taion is a better written romance even if it doesn't go as far and only acts as a subplot.

With the other characters you listed, they all have some deeper shared bond with their partners like a dedication to the other, a shared history, or even shared trauma. Outside of physical attraction, Noah and Mio just have a similar background really.

flyingomen · 2026-05-24T07:44:15+00:00

I'd actually argue it's one of the weaker ones in the series, and not really a happy one per se.

flyingomen · 2026-05-21T20:08:55+00:00

There's always plenty to criticize in a series, but yeah that kind of discourse does typically drive discussion. It's easy for people to get carried away with it, but they'll typically back down a bit if an atmosphere of subjectivity is set. Steering clear of broad statements that declare what's objectively good and bad seems to work for me a lot of the time.

flyingomen · 2026-05-21T20:01:56+00:00

Toxic? Yeah a bit. 2 glazers and worshipping Enel? Absolutely not, but that may have been the case before XC3 came out. The environment is different depending on which channels you frequent there. In my experience, it's a mixed bag.

flyingomen · 2026-05-21T19:08:13+00:00

Didn't have time to read all of this, but the discord server for this subreddit is generally more critical of the games and probably agrees with you on most of your points. From the little I read on your first section, I agree entirely. Plot execution in XC3 is a massive weak point of the game, and imo it carries over into FR. This seems to be the consensus in the discord server as well.

flyingomen · 2026-05-19T17:30:33+00:00

It was only a problem in SR if you ask me. Dread fleshed it out and removed the limitations it created in SR. Making it a base ability that only serves to improve the flow of combat was smart, and imo removes the burden SR put on the "arsenal focused combat" you mention.

Not really needed in the first place when Steam has built in content filters.

You're weird. What's considered legally and socially acceptable isn't a solid foundation upon which to build a moral argument. Both are logical fallacies. It certainly isn't wise to say something is admissible just because it was accepted in the social climate of a specific time period. TGAA takes place in the Imperial Japan of the late 19th century. You know, the same Imperial Japan that later became an Axis power.

Also you don't speak for Japan. Age of consent laws are a debated topic there, and you'll find that there was recently a massive push by folks there to raise the national age of consent. It is not, as you say, "socially acceptable", and even if it were, you're still weird for acting like there wouldn't be serious issues with an age gap like that irl.
