THE COMPLETE XENOBLADE TIMELINE - How Xenoblade Chronicles X is connected (Monolith Soft Guy)
600
Published 2024-04-09
it's time for some severe theory crafting again - this time aided by the recent information from the Xenoblade 3 Artbook!
This is probably the most effort I've ever put in making a video, so if you have any interest in the topic, please watch until the end. The video basically does 2 things in one: First, show how Xenoblade X is connected to Xenoblade 1-3. Second, show a timeline that includes all four Xenoblade-games and in what order events take place to get to the end of what's currently known.
As I say in the video, while I made sure to craft my theory based on facts and strong hints from official sources, there's naturally a good chance that I might be completely off, too. As someone who loves Xenoblade X, there's a strong desire in me to have it be part of the overall timeline, so that's what pushed me to spend the past 2 weeks on making this video. Where I put the emphasis on X, others choose to focus on Xenosaga or other titles. At this point in time, there's no definitive answer, but the only reason I made this video is because recent findings from the XB3 Artbook gave my theory some strong support. And it could still be all wrong.
So please enjoy this video, give it some thoughts instead of instantly dismissing it, and feel free to comment on it as well as share your own theory in the comments!
The next time you'll hear from me will probably be when the Switch 2 got announced, together with Monolith Soft's next game. Until then,

Xenoblade Chronicles is a piece of Xenogears as a whole. 1 is the Gears story of mechanical and biological war from god and creator. 2 is the notion of human chimeras and experimental gears like Esmeralda, from Blade and Flesh eater to titans. 3 is Fei and Ellie's endless resurrection story even made DLC a nod to Fei being a melee lead with Ouroboros mecha interlinking like Weltall thru Fei and Ellie. X is about the Gears and immigration to an unknown planet.

I am not sure about the timeline, but one thing that seams make most sense for me in all of this, is that Mira is very likely in some way connect to Origin, if Mira is'nt even straid up Aionios.

I thought of the Voyager plaque right before the video brought it up, so...nice thinking there. However even hundreds or thousands of years from now the plaque will be "nearby" Sol. It hasn't remotely hit the inner bounds of the oort cloud yet and has hundreds of years of travel before it even gets that far. It has to pass beyond that before it is even technically out of the system in around 20,000 years. And to find it's way towards any other nearby system we are talking somewhere in the neighborhood of 300,000 years before it even comes close to another star in our tiny local neighborhood. Space is big. We also know, from Future Redeemed, that Coalition Earth was sending FTL ships to an entirely other arm of the milky way galaxy. We know this has to be (likely Zohar powered) FTL because the Sagitarious Arm is 4000 light-years away. At the very least, this is well outside of the stellar neighborhood. Unassisted, the Voyager plaque can not reach anywhere in the local vicinity of any colony there even in an absolutely insane period of time. Over the timescales involved even simple radiation and the thin cosmic dust over that much time would render it completely unrecognizable. This then, becomes one of the biggest flaws in the theory.

Nice!
