Side Order is fucking amazing. However, I cannot lie I could not stop going "XENOBLADE 3?!" at every plot/lore reveal in it

Of course, it's only surface level similarities and upon looking deeper at the lore there are significant differences. But it is still funny how similar the basic premise is.

#Side Order spoilers in the tags. Be warned and be aware #When Order first came up and explained what it is I yelled “MOEBIUS??!!!”#and then Marina explained the Memverse #She created splatoon's own Origin and Aionios #and then Palettes and how they're the soul of a character manifested as a weapon.#they turned Xenoblade 3 into octopus rougelike #and it is fantastic #even Order/Smollusk's goal of creating a changeless world where the inhabitants have no real free will of their own?#based on the collective desire for stability and fear of an unstable and unknown future held by each and everyone?#that is literally Moebius and Aionios #The collective fear of change and desire for stability manifesting and creating a world where nothing changes #After hijacking a supercomputer #again only surface-level similarities #cause Aionios isn't completely digital like the Memverse is. Aionios is the real worlds of Alrest and Bionis/Mechonis fused together #via Origin.#Further more #Origin was created out of necessity to save the two universes of the Xenoblade series.#Marina created the Memverse not out of necessity but rather the good of her heart #and then the Memverse needs to be freed from Order's control only to free the wills of the people #while Aionios is actually dying and everything will cease to exist if Moebius isn't stopped and free will restored #because whether they like it or not change will happen. and refusal to accept that can be detrimental.#Both Xenoblade 3 and Side Order both share a theme of accepting change despite how frightening it can be #it's interesting to see how they portray and commentate on that in similar yet different ways #it's the Xenoblade 3 brainrot. it's what's causing me to notice this #xenoblade chronicles #xenoblade chronicles 3 #xenoblade #xenoblade 3 #splatoon 3 side order #splatoon 3 side order spoilers
