The next Xenoblade will be called Xenoblade 1X2, and will see Shulk's people and Rex's people drawn into Planet Mira :-o

A stunning piece of art. Not the biggest CHOCO fan, but he always does some amazing stuff. The Zohar with the LOS in center like the Zohar's core is just...perfect.

I'm very, very glad to see Elma - the totally NOT main protagonist of XCX - front and center too.

If only XCX was a better game. Elma was a dreadful MC. I hope we continue XC->XC2->XC3 and just kinda forget about XCX.

I thought Elma was a perfectly fine character, but I agree that X was dreadful and somehow managed to suck all of the soul out of the franchise. Thank god Xenoblade 2 rebounded. I agree--let's just move onto XC3 and leave X in the past.

I hope they do something down the line to remove Rex in Xeno world, just lend him to Tales game or something.

Elma is the queen and should be at the center

I adore Rex, but yea, the supporting cast were especially memorable, especially Nia and Morag.

Well, back to writing my fan fiction where Morag dominates me while talking shit in Scottish.

why does it always seem like a different concept artist every time they share something lol. This looks like a generic anime poster, not gonna lie. A cool one, but doesn't fit very well with Xenoblade IMO

I agree.

I thought we were getting something as beautiful as XC1 concept art.

Hard to comment more on this without spoiler but the Zohar/Conduit and space station is a nice touch.

He's a sweetheart he really is. He's also dumb af lookin. Those pants man
Rex quickly won me over despite the goofy-looking pants. Noctis in FFXV is another example of this. Didn't initially like the design but now it's part of the charm.

And hey, the pants have a lore explanation - it's part of a diving suit. :3

Broke: Elma being front and center is hinting at a port
Woke: Elma being front and center is hinting at her being playable in Smash
Bespoke: Elma being front and center is hinting at her being the main character in Xenoblade 3

They need to get Raita Kazama to do some of these illustrations. He was part of the art department on both Chronicles and X, and I like his art waaaaaaay more:

This is sort of a spoilery question for X/the whole series, but this artwork made me think of it:

Are there any believable theories about X connecting to Xenoblade 1/2? Or is it, at this point, almost certainly its own thing?

People hating on Rex should try to finish Xenoblade 2 because he really grow throughout the game.

Yeah. nah. I've seen other divers in the game, munted faces aside they looked more reasonable. I don't recall them having those goofy thigh parachute lookin things. His pants were a problem, and I can't believe nobody told him.

If you do adopt him please tell him.

They exist in the same shared multiverse at the very least but X has some things that connect it more to XB1 like Nopons name dropping Frontier Village and one of their quest revealing their legendary weapon is a wooden Monado, a collectible being miniatures of Bionis and a portable ether furnance

Oh and a Telethia being the bonus boss

Not even a full page before the Rex slander started.

Anyways the artwork is amazing, hopefully Elma at the center is a sign of things to come.

Wow I won't take the X slander in this thread. It's my favorite of the three games.

That's because other divers are just wearing the boring diving suits and nothing else lol

they should do some crossover comic strips. some character interactions really need to happen
  • Vandam working Shulk and Rex to the bone
  • Dunban, Nagi, and Morag having a spot of tea (or hard liquor for lulz)
  • Lin wetting herself over Siren
  • Lin, Pyra, and Mythra in the kitchen
  • the Trinity back together
  • Ahkos and HB

Tatsu Riki and Tora together needs to happen too
