Xenoblade X story is underrated and actually very good (spoilers)

I didn't take the ending as 'The end of humanity' even for what you are suggesting. From what I understood, they are just a different segment of humanity. Lyn said there were other ships that made it out, and that earth may not have been destroyed completely. I don't know about you, but it sounds like the Xenogears humans were on a different ship.
