   Lmao so this is it, the final scene of both the Arkham Series Batman, and of Kevin Conroy's acting career. It's so funny watching these studios destroy themselves post diversity push in a petulant attempt to replace the "old" (and actually good) games and their "old" straight White male protagonists with their shitty live service slop that expects you to put 1000 hours in it without having any redeeming qualities to make you want to do that.
   
   Oh and if you're wondering what that live service content is in this case, it's the final boss copy pasted 13 times that you have to beat over the course of 13 seasons (so like a year or more worth of playtime in a mid tier video game) to experience the "true" ending, that'll be $79.99

     @Shadowman311 What all these detestable franchises lack is resolution. Instead of passing on the torch they cling to it, desperate to keep the last embers burning, even if that means destroying original characters in a repulsive display of favoritism. They all desire to keep things in stasis, to ensure eternity without evolution even if that means sacrificing morals and the very essence of those original characters.

     The themes of Xenoblade 3 are too damn based, and too applicable to Clown World.

     @ArdainianRight @William_The_Dragonborn @Shadowman311 Note too that there's a total of 4 major Returning franchise characters in Xenoblade 3, and all 4 are treated EXTREMELY well by the game.
     
     Now compare that to what has happened to Luke Skywalker, Joel, Indiana Jones, Arkham Batman...

     I think I've come to terms with Noah and Mio not living happily ever after. It fits with the themes, and we don't need to see all the old characters again in whatever new game pops up.

     The two different factions deliberately erase any memory or knowledge of the different races within each faction. I'm not gonna deny there are plenty of modern tropes too, but it's a little more complicated than that.

     @William_The_Dragonborn @ArdainianRight @Shadowman311 The villain arbitrarily separated the races into different groups and then kept them ignorant and forced them to fight each other for his own benefit and to stay in power forever. That’s 1:1 exactly the communist/leftist theory of what racism/nationalism is, an entrenched capitalist elite holding the world back in permanent stasis and staying in power by tricking the masses into hating each other. they’ve been saying this shit for 200 years now, and xenoblade 3 is obviously drawing on that premise. If you are historically unaware enough to not know that you should have at least picked up on it when you got to the city and saw that it’s aesthetically identical to every plucky diverse rebel faction written by an American shitlib, where everyone race mixes, the men are emasculated and subservient to the women, and the leaders are a coalburner and her insufferable mulatta daughter. Xenoblade 3 is paint by numbers ESG leftoid garbage.

     @jimmybuffettfanaccount @ArdainianRight @Shadowman311 @William_The_Dragonborn the reason why some on on our side might see XB3 as based is because there is only a slight difference between Bolshevik globalism & Capitalist globalism. At a glance, the game can be criticising one or the other based on the player’s perception. Destruction of identity & pulling the strings of atomized groups covers both big globalizing ideologies.

     But yeah, the big controversy is that Xenoblade is filled with left-centrist values, or what a naive Japanese thinks is centrism. This isn’t new either, as the dev(s) even as far back as Xenogears thought liberalism was a virtue for humanity. In example, Xenogears has the gall to practically say homosexuality is a human right because big bad god machine entity says, “no gays aloud, breed more”.

     Xenoblade 3 is the equivalent of people on our side saying the movie, They Live, is based, when in actuality John Carpenter is criticizing the then-conservative, capitalist/nationalist power structures he thinks he’s punching up at. The American-face-painted aliens aren’t le Jews, they are White Conservative Capitalist Nationalists like evil Richard Nixon 😭 < Carpenter’s beliefs (but you can see how similar our perceived enemies are without looking deeper at the nuances).
