its beautiful (and this is not a perfect comparison, it's later in the sunset cycle and earlier does tend to have some brighter orange in the sky) but if xb1wii is a summer sunset xb1de is a fall sunset to me. if that makes any sense

this is giving me cuteness aggression

In any case, I stopped showing off and returned to the chair I had been sitting in.

And Assistant Manager Lee Seonghae, who had been applauding my little parade of tricks, wasn't

me taking 8 years to realize the artbook that came with the xb2 special edition has a super quick and easy size comparison between the monoceros and marsanes

The cover of the Xenoblade Chronicles 2: Collected Works artbook, featuring all of the titan ships in the game on a stormy background.

(318) he's so embarrassing it's making me mad. what kind of nonsense is that guardian angel line

"I, I don't have much money, but if you let me go, I'll get a loan right now and transfer it to your account...."
"What are you talking about? Do I look like a robber to you?"
You sure do!
"I'm sorry. I'm sorry! By any chance, what brings you here...."
"I am... well."
Laughter could be heard.
"Your daily guardian angel, I suppose."

I love them more than life itself

screenshot of ghost story work chapter 314:
I spoke very quietly, so that only the agents could hear.
"Excuse me, it's really okay."
"Shut up."
"Really. I was just planning on breaking the scales."

this setting being on for default for every. single device/browser you use is severely obnoxious

found the legendary xb2 gamefaqs 'leak' again (original post was deleted, but thankfully someone copied it in a pre-release thread on serene's forest)

I love this goofy thing with my whole heart. its funny how it sorta got close on some aspects

>The blue Torna girl is Lithra, and Jin's blade in disguise, and is controlling him

>Elysium is a world computer, with Blades as its sensors to understand the world; hence why they all eventually want to return to it

>Torna acquired that knowledge through Lithra (who's gone renegade/become fully self-aware) and hope to prevent Elysium from gaining too much information about the world, less it decide to reset everything/pull a Zanza and grab the energy from all life forms. The Titans slowly dying is due to Elysium already testing this out and to try and speed up the blades' return to it

>Pyra/Mithra acquried too much information and went unhinged in the past; Torna is interested in her to try and stop Elysium

>Core crystals are "unopened applications"

>The term Driver comes for Elysium needing them to "drive" its hardware-- the Blades

>Elysium uses the Driver/Blade connection to gather data. The blades provide "organic" lifeforms with new ways to tackle their environment and the Drivers interpret the data through their emotions-- which Elysium lacks but tries to emulate through his Blades

>The more information a Blade has acquired, the better they are at mimicking organic life. Hence why rare blades generally look more organic and generic blades are clearly robots.

>Pyra acquiring too much information resulted in a personality split that brought about Mithra

>Lithra also acquired too much information-- hence her decision to side with organic lifeforms and go rogue

>Jin was originally a scientist like Shulk. He encountered Lithra while injured and she took over his body to try and heal his wounds-- while also unintentionally taking over his body

>Elysium finally takes notice of Lithra's rebellion mid-game, weakening her and temporarily freeing Jin form her influence

>She doesn't want Pyra to re-connect with Elysium, believing nothing good can come of it

>Titans were originally there to provide support/sustenance for organic life, but Elysium also has limited energy (Ether) and has gotten more stringent on how he distributes it due to information gathering taking too long, resulting in Titans drowning in the sea of clouds

>The sea of clouds is just the exhaust fumes of Elysium. There's a bottom

>A big twist is where Pyra/Mithra discover their emotions are nothing but a mimicry. Pyra goes into depression and becomes unusable in gameplay, leaving you with the "sassy and determined" Mithra

>Through Lithra's revelation that its possible fore a Blade to develop a will of its own by rebelling against Elysium, Pyra regains confidence-- finding meaning for her existence, coming out again, joining hands with Mithra and fully unleashing their potential as a Blade

>Final boss has three stages: Elysium -> Elysium controlling Jin after deactivating Lithra ->Elysium on its last legs using all ether in the world

deltarune playthroughs have been my default background noise choice for a while now. so anyways you can tell a lot about a streamer by how they pronounce this
