History VideoGame / XenobladeChronicles

* {{Expy}}: The Nopon are very blatant ones to the Ewok race from ''Franchise/StarWars'', with them being furry, mass-populated creatures who integrate their likeness with the series' main human(oid)s. The resemblance is a bit more apparent in the [[VideoGame/XenobladeChronicles1 first game]], where the Nopon reside in a TreetopTown called Frontier Village and have a designated chief.

* GaidenGame: The end of ''Future Redeemed'' reveals that the series as a whole is one to [[spoiler:''Xenosaga'', with all three games became dedicated to wrapping up one of ''Xenosaga''[='=]s most infamous lingering plot holes. Specifically, how Lost Jerusalem disappeared before the series but re-entered the universe's main plane of existence for KOS-MOS to find it in ''Xenosaga 3''[='=]s ending.]]

** A recurring concept in the series, in which a person of divine or nearly-divine power manifests into two beings: [[EnemyWithout one that is the manifestation of the person's regrets]], resulting in a malevolent personality, and one that is a manifestation of the person's hopes, resulting in a more moral personality. Zanza and the Architect, [[spoiler:Noah and N, Mio and M, and Alvis (Alpha and A respectively)]] are key examples of this.

* ''VideoGame/XenobladeChronicles1'' (UsefulNotes/NintendoWii, 2010; New UsefulNotes/Nintendo3DS, 2015; UsefulNotes/NintendoSwitch, 2020): Two continent-sized gods called the Bionis and the Mechonis fought until only their lifeless corpses remained. Life arose on the surface of these titans, organic life on the Bionis and the Mechon on Mechonis. For as long as the human-like Homs can remember, the Mechon have been intent on wiping out all life upon Bionis. When a Homs researcher named Shulk discovers he is the destined wielder of the legendary Monado, the sword of the Bionis itself, he and his friends embark on a journey to end this war once and for all.

* ''VideoGame/XenobladeChroniclesX'' (UsefulNotes/WiiU, 2015): In 2054, a war between two alien factions devastates the Earth, and forces humanity to evacuate the planet. Two years later, one of the surviving {{Colony Ship}}s -- the American White Whale, holding the city of New Los Angeles -- is caught and attacked by one alien faction. The White Whale survives long enough to break apart over a hospitable planet: Mira. Months later, [[HelloInsertNameHere your player-created character]] joins BLADE--NLA's defense force--as they attempt to claim Mira as their new home, all while dealing with a few small complications, most notably the [[EverythingTryingToKillYou gigantic and bloodthirsty Miran wildlife capable of turning NLA into a pile of rubble]].
