I find it amusing at how two of the best villains in gaming are both named N.

@William_The_Dragonborn
Unfortunately the Jews won't let you say his whole name.

@William_The_Dragonborn
I can't even see that N as a villain.
-
@ArdainianRight Nope, just N m.youtube.com/watch?v=O0ajBL15Knk&pp
-
@ArdainianRight In a sense they both were manipulated into doing the dirty work of an overlord. Ergo I draw similarities to both.

Xenoblade N did not have to treat Noah the way he did though.
-
@ArdainianRight N viewed Noah as an extension of himself hence why he called him “my long shadow.” If anything he was punishing what he viewed as an impure part of himself.
-
@William_The_Dragonborn @ArdainianRight I view it differently - prior scenes had established that N wasn't a sadist like other Moebius, who gleefully laughed at the sight of Kevesi and Agnian soldiers slaughtering each other (same way Jews view the war between Russia and Ukraine). So why did he treat Noah with such gratuitous cruelty? Because Noah represented a rejection of N's own choices, he was a living refutation of the righteousness of N's Endless Now. If Noah is right, N is wrong. And N *really* can't afford to be wrong, given all he did to achieve his goal. Noah's very existence fills N with guilt, and only by ensuring that Noah dies the most miserable death possible, drowning in despair, can N prove Noah's path wrong and find peace.
