The definition of "science fiction" is imaginitive content of science ... Does Xenoblade feature anything that moves faster than the speed of light ? No, since it obeys our current understanding of modern science so it is very far away from fiction on a physical perspective. X on the otherhand having spacecrafts that travel faster than the speed of light is flat out "fiction" ... Is it possible to revive a full cryogenically frozen body without extensive damage ? No, that type of medical science in X is currently a "fiction" ... The only content in Xenoblade that you could classify as "science fiction" are the giant mechs been structurally sustainable without energy issues ... X is certainly more advanced but Xenoblade hardly ever borders on "science fiction" ... |
The ending of Xenoblade can be considered quite speculative and has to do with science - not fantasy. I'd say much more so than FTL travel.
Play XBC to the end, and the scifi parts of the game make sense. The fantasy parts can be explained through "speculative" science as well.
