It has been confirmed that XC3′s story will explain the futures of both XC1 and XC2.

It has also been confirmed that areas and objects from both previous titles will be in the game. We can already see Mechonis’s Sword and the corpse of the Urayan Titan.

(Uraya’s Corpse)

(Mechonis’s Sword and Uraya’s Corpse)

We also see High Entia and Gormotti peoples. It also seems to be heavily hinted that the masked High Entia at the end is Melia and the masked Gormotti is Nia due to the voice actors and the visual designs.  If XC3 takes place in the distant future, it would make sense that both Melia and Nia are still around due to their natural longevity as High Entia and Blade, respectively.

(Melia, perhaps)

(Nia, Perhaps)

We also see areas that are reminiscent of Bionis Field, Sword Valley, and Leftheria. Whether or not these are those actual areas or simply similar environments is yet to be seen, though. The world is apparently called “Ionis”, as Noah mentions in the trailer.

Oh, and Nopon are back - of course.

I also pointed out in a previous post that the main character - Noah - shows some design similarities to Fei - the protagonist of Xenogears. Not only do they have the same hair colour/style, they also share the same Eastern cultural influence and have the same red hair tie. Even more-so, Xenogears was originally called Project Noah. Whether or not this connection is deeper or just a nod to the series origins is unknown. Noah also seems to be holding a sword that looks very similar to the Monado - or at least some sort of Aegis.

The other protagonist, Mio, seems to be related to Nia in some way. Not only is she Gormotti, but she also wields Chakrams and has a sort of crystal on her chest. Her name is also very similar to Nia’s.

Throughout the trailer, there are also depictions of mechanical lifeforms that greatly resemble Mechon from XC1.

(Mechon-like structures)

Other than visuals, there are some key terms that are mentioned in the trailer. Mainly “The Flame Clock” and “Ouroboros.” Both of these terms not only relate to the concept of Time, but also concepts of life and creation. This is interesting, because the official description for the game says that the central theme is “Life.” These terms could be directly hinting at a plot that delves into the ideas of reincarnation or time-travel. Perhaps the similarities to XC1 and XC2 are due to some sort of reincarnation? Or maybe the game exists in an alternate time-line where events in XC1/2 played out a little differently? Or perhaps the references to time are something much simpler - such as simply the concept of life progressing and changing.

There is a lot of mystery surrounding all of this, but I think we can 100% confirm at least one thing: Uraya and the Mechonis somehow encounter each other. The presence of Uraya would also explain why races (such as the Gormotti) from XC2 are present in a world that resembles XC1. With the references to Time, perhaps either Uraya or Mechonis were transported through space/time to the world of the other and then the Mechonis slew Uraya? Or perhaps the entire split universes of XC1 and XC2 have fused together?

In Future Connected, we saw the introduction of the Fog King, who appeared through a mysterious rift. The Fog King bears great resemblance to the Infernal Guldo from XC2, which many theorized came directly from XC2′s world to the world of XC1 through that rift. It is also hinted that the Infernal Guldo is the malformed corpse of Galea.

(Infernal Guldo)

(Fog King)

If this is true, then maybe we have already begun to see the two worlds combine. 

But, even if the Infernal Guldo and the Fog King are the same, the Mechonis is already long gone by the time of that crossover, so it would not be possible - in a linear sense -  for Uraya to cross over afterwards if it was indeed slain by Mechonis. 

But, maybe this is where the concepts of Time come into XC3. Perhaps the worlds of XC1 and XC2 are not only merging through Space, but also throughout Time - thus creating a universe that combines the two, but that does not mimic either’s direct history or events. This would also give more meaning to Future Connected's name.

This is part of a collab I did with @shiitaketissues with me just adding in color. Honestly this was my first time doing it and I had a huge kick doing this X)

Hi anyone reading this, I'm currently developing a pokemon-style top-down pixel art game for a competition but also for personal use centering around the periodic table elements. I'll be posting update logs on here now, hope you enjoy.

For starters, have some player character sprites.
