The absolute shame of it is that Xenoblade Chronicles already kicked the ass of every non-remake/port that Square put out in the Wii/PS3/360 generation, not including portable games. Given how the last few main entires in their top franchises have gone, Square Enix has ways to go before repairing themselves to putting out top quality RPGs on consoles due to trying to make them all pretty.

Riki's feelings and choice of words toward Melia were a bit... suggestive at times in their heart-to-hearts. You should see their heart-to-heart at the top of Frontier Village:

And I can't recall with whom, but I believe I remember another H2H involving him and that other character at Eryth Sea in which he talks about leaving Oka and begs him/her not to mention it to her..

I forgot about those, though I always took it as more the kind of relationship an affectionate dog might have with his owner, wanting cuddles and attention.

At the game's end he's still together with Oka, so I guess he didn't go through with the breakup.

Willing to bet your sig control we have a half Nopon/half Hom playable character in the next game? ~_~
