User blog:Plasmaster/How Could They Do This!?

Hey guys. Plasmaster here.

Before Smash 4 I didn't know who Shulk was. Never played or even heard of the games of characters. I am currently watching chuggaaconroy's LP of Xenoblade and I LOVE IT. I love the story, the characters, the new style of RPG it brings, all of it. It's a great game and I'd love to get it and play it some time. Shulk has become one of my favorite characters in Smash.

About a fourth of the way through watching the LP, I found out about X. Xenoblade...X. *sigh*

Now...I'm sure that this game will have a good plot and good characters, but...it just isn't the same. You know how people always say they want something different and new, and then once they get it, they want the old thing back? That's kind of my stance on X.

I want them to bring the old cast back! I loved Shulk and Riki and Reyn and Melia and the whole gang! When I first saw X I was like:

'Okay, so...yeah, new characters, not from Bionis, but from Earth, but maybe the planet they landed on is unknowingly the Bionis!'

I really had my hopes that this new game would tie back into the first one somehow, like bring Bionis in somehow, or heck, bring back some of the characters from the first game! (Shulk and Riki top picks).

I mean, I know they couldn't very well feature the game on the Bionis because most if not all of the Bionis had been explored in Xenoblade Chronicles, and they couldn't just change the landscape of the whole thing for this new game. I understand that. At least give some reference to the first game, and no, I don't mean a subtle reference like the Monado-shaped hairpins that one girl has. No, I mean a larger and more explicit reference, like a character or something. It could be Dickson for all I care!

Well, at least the Nopon are back in this game. Those lovable little Nopon, and you even get a Nopon character in the game. That's awesome, because the Nopon are probably my favorite race on the Bionis. So, since the Nopon originated from Bionis and are in X, maybe there is still hope for it.

The game has good music too. Almost as good as the original.

Well, that's my rant on Xenoblade X. I guess they could always make this game completely apart from the original and then make a third where they bring the two worlds together. That'd be cool. Anyways, what are you thoughts on X? Do you think a character from X would be a viable newcomer for Smash 5? Let me know in the comments.

Also, the next Smash Study Hall will be out tomorrow, featuring Lucario.

Keep up that awesome writing thing you do and leave it to Heropon!
