My favourite part of Xenoblade was the Fallen Arm when the characters are reunifying and Shulk has that alone moment with Elly. It reminds me of the scene in Xenogears where Fei and Elly are on the floating piece of debris, and the scene in Skies of Arcadia when Vyse gets marooned on the island North of Nisan after the shipwreck, and Asia and Fina are working back toward him. Or on a darker note, Celis in Final Fantasy 6 Awakening on the island, and then her searching for friends: the first time the “Searching for Friends” music plays in Final Fantasy 6 is one of my favourite moments in a game.
FF6 is relevant to the discussion because both Soraya Saga and Tetsuya Takahashi were heavily involved in its development. Many people don’t know this, but this is the game where the birth of the first elements of the Xeno games took place. Magitek Armour and the Kingdom of Figaro, both heavily from the minds of the two (Rene and Roni, the Fatima dynastic founders, were based on Edgar and Sabin; to people only familiar with FF6, the names will be recognizable because they also the middle names of Edgar and Sabin.
