Xenoblade In Between Worlds

Author's Note

Although I know Xenoblade isn't the greatest of game series, I would argue that is

the most relevant one besides a few others. The main theme of life is the strengths of this

series that we don't often speak about. Living the best life anyone could have and trying to

help others along the way. The friendships a person forms allow them to grow and be a

better person as well. Life is a wonderful journey everyone should take to grow and

experience for themselves. In the past year, I've seen life being taken from others so easily

and changed drastically. I know it isn't fair that one part of the world suffers as another

lives on so easily. But at the same time, I believe witnessing, whether it is seeing or hearing,

the events should change the world. Although, past experiences dictate otherwise, there will

be those who do remember these events. This will lead to a change. There are those who

will remember the ones who loved life and survived these events. They will learn and spread

the importance of life. They don't want others to forget the event and others. Xenoblade

also explores this idea with each game. They want to live. They want to survive. They want

to see their world grow and live on. This might be me looking too deep into this series, but

the way the characters grow and feel alive is something fantastic. They show emotions and

shout out their joys, sadness, anger, and frustrations. Sure, their starts are not always the

greatest, but that's important too. You may not have the happiest beginnings and will

struggle in the middle, but that doesn't mean you're ending won't be happy. Seeing Shulk,

Rex, and Noah struggle with their friends to find the happy ending they believed they

deserved proves anyone can do this as well. I personally view Shulk's story as the most

compelling of the three. This should be four considering Elma's game is out. I have yet to

play, but her main theme is survival. That will to live is amazing and something else. After

all, living a life we all enjoy is something incredible. We want to feel the joys of life,

experience sadness, joy, frustration, and relief. Life is filled with these emotions and also

makes everything worth it. Experience and life go hand in hand. It is worth it to see it

blossom and grow.
