Finally finished Xenoblade Chronicles, took me 72 hours and my party was level 78. This game keeps throwing plot twist after plottwist at you lol.

Glad I'm finally done with it though, it's an intensive game. I loved the final section/boss of the game, so gorgeous!

So what are your final thoughts on the game?  It's been interesting following your comments as you progressed.  

 

Also, the mythology that inspired this is Gnosticism.  The general plot is almost allegorical.  The demiurge(s) (Meyneth and Zanza) are the subcreators (either flawed (Meyneth) or evil (Zanza)) and are rebels from the Monad (Alvis), who is the true god.  The incarnation/prophet of the Monad (again, Alvis) comes and brings special knowledge/enlightment or "gnosis" (shulk's visions and also to an extent the various monados) to reveal to true nature of the world.  Gnosis helps guide man back to truth.  The ultimate culmination is the downfall of the Demiurge(s) and the restoration of glory to the Monad.  That's the general gist of the structure minus all the spiritual stuff.  But then it goes a level deeper:  in gnosticism, the physical world is a shadowy illusion created by the Demiurge while the real world is the heavenly source of the Monad.  Ultimately, enlightenment allows a return to that world.  In Xenoblade, Alvis's home is the real world we know.  At the end of XC, upon returning power to Alvis and declining the "god" (demiurge) status offered you, the world of Zanza is destroyed and Shulk and the world is recreated into the world it was, the real world (Alvis (the Monad's) home).  So even that element of Gnosticism plays out in a literal fashion.  

Heh, that does indeed fit incredibly well!

I was surprised that the world of Xenoblade started out as a scientific experiment from humans on planet earth and that Zanza and Meyneth started out as humans (and thus "false gods"). But I really liked that part in outer space, it looked so gorgeous, I could barely believe this was a Wii game. The final design of Zanza also looked incredibly badass. The fact that Shulk chose a world to live in without gods was rather predictable, but that doesn't really diminish the story in any sort of way. I wonder, does Shulk still have the Monado in this new world? I mean the blue one he pulled out of his ass during the final battle. :p   I think not as that would effectively make him a god again. And he did throw it against the other two Monados, probably destroying them all. After the game was done I expected that they would zoom out far enough to show that the new world Shulk and his friends are living on was actually planet earth. I think that was a missed opportunity of some sorts. Would have been a good ending point.

The final design of Zanza was actually that of the bionis.

Funny that Xenosaga uses the same influences, just different sections.
