Whelp, almost finished with Xenoblade 2, just about to start the final boss fight. But before I can do that, I have eight hours of work, and then I have to rush my roommate to a physical therapy appointment that's scheduled for half an hour after I clock out, and then after that I can beat this game. I'm still not sure I'd say I like it (Or at least, I don't think I can say I like it for its own merits, a lot of what turned me around on it was noticing variably subtle Xenosaga references, which Xenoblade 1 and 3 were relatively light on, compared to their Xenogears references), but this final chapter at least has been a lot of fun, story-wise. Rex's stuff in particular was right up my alley.

xenoblade 3 was pretty good but all the ouroboros stuff should have used the inexplicably adorable snake logo from xenosaga
