![]() But I’ve singled her out for spot 6 for a few reasons. She has the level of sexualised clothing of most of the female Rare Blades I’ve seen, which is to say, perhaps slightly less than a football's worth of material. Buy the Blade some tights, mate, for goodness’ sake. However, their use as weapons to hide behind in combat, and obligation to follow their Drivers, remains creepy. Must they bow to the will of their Driver, in combat and out of? It’s really unnerving if you think even a shade down the rabbit hole.įortunately, Pandoria and other Blades do seem to show enough agency to ward this off for the most part, making fools of their masters on enough occasions. That brings up the somewhat disturbing topic of how much agency these Blades have. Perhaps it’s her driver’s decision? He wears a top open down the middle too, and I can see that he might be the sort of chap to dress his blade in tiny tiny shorts with no tights. She’s got a slight lightbulb-steampunk thing going on, some big ol’ thick meganekko glasses, and also reminds me of the Bnahabra armour from the Monster Hunter games. Here’s where we start to get a bit ‘really?’ Pandoria is an electric Blade. (For Bicycle Life With Kawaii Girls, which appears when you Google his name, perhaps less so.) 7. Kōji Ogata wanted to draw a book-lover, in a long dress, paper tights, and a sparkly hole in her stomach. It feels, to a certain extent, like they had free reign to draw whatever they wanted. There were a lot of Blade character designers. She might only have that one character trait, but for a sentient weapon who’s an optional extra, that’s not too much of a problem. There’s a female intellectual, for crying out loud. When we’re midway through the ‘top’ five, you might wonder whether there are any halfway-decently designed female Blades. Yet she’s here in the list, because all the ‘top’ seven are Blades too. Her sesquipedalian vocabulary only serves to exacerbate this bibliophilic chagrin. It’s almost annoying at times, how much she likes books. AdenineĪdenine is a wind-type Rare Blade. She’s at 9, rather than 10, because the game tries its best to muck that up. She’s one of my favourite characters in gaming. Nia isn’t just my favourite female character in XC2. (Jester's shoes, not so much, but this game has much worse footwear in store.) Her yellow jumpsuit doesn’t look sexy: it looks appropriate for adventuring. There is a scene of her in a hot spring, but she wears actual sensible adventuring clothes the rest of the time, so I can let that pass. And if you disagree, she will bash you up proper. Her taunting of Rex sounds like playground chants. Her Welsh accent lends a wonderful sing-song quality to her voice. How much of her brilliance is due to the voicework of Catrin-Mai Huw, I don’t know. And she has depth to her, too, that I shan’t reveal. That’s the year in which Mario’s grew eyes and possessed frogs). She rides on the back of her tiger butler (who, incidentally, wears the best hat in gaming of last year. ![]() She pokes fun at hero Rex every chance she gets. With that done, here are ten female characters from Xenoblade Chronicles 2, put into a list and talked about, regarding the extent to which they’re. You may not see them at all in your playthrough.īasically, I don't think there's anything truly spoilerific in here. ![]() Blades are the game’s sentient weapons, and you get many of them at random, through an infuriatingly slow gacha-type mechanic.
