The xeno series raises many deep philosophical questions like "what if god was a rectangle?"

Xenosaga had a time loop that served to prevent the end of the universe... A sort of "endless now," huh...

The Zohar seems to be very similar to descriptions of the Arc of the Covenant as well. A sort of vessel where the one true God resides that can be used to accomplish anything but will kill anyone who attempts to open it

I've always seen the names of Xenoblade's Trinity processor much more simply and literally:
Logos- the Word
Pnuema- the Spirit
Ontos- Being (or I am that I am)

Xenosaga’s biblical ties is why I studied Judaism in undergrad, so naturally I find videos like this exciting! Also, me not ever connecting U-DO and Alvis until this video … 🤯.

I swear, as this video started and I started to question what the Zohar could be, I said out loud, “oh, a monolith?” Then it hit me why Monolithsoft choose their name!! Hahaha. Years, and I just got that. Then the video kept going explaining this and I laughed even harder!

The earth disappearing in Xenosaga was Klaus' Experiment

The description of the phase shift phenomenon is basically identical to how the Infinite Improbability Drive works in the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series.
For reference, they were able to invent the Infinite Improbability Drive by finding the exact probability of inventing it, and plugging that into a Finite Improbability Drive (if I recall correctly)

I have a Zohar USB flash drive.

12:19 I'll talk about it. It's NOT a Zohar. NOT an Emulator.
It's literally JUST a power convertor, taking energy from 5th Jerusalem's traditional power grid and converting it to something Omega was designed to use.

A bit like a car battery inverter that lets you run household electronics from, well, a car battery.
Nowhere near as much 'potential' electricity power mains have, but enough to run your refrigerator for a few hours. I said car battery instead of generator, because it was implied that it had to be 'recharged' between tests.

This video really needs to be updated after the XC3 Future Redeemed, at least I could fit some pieces after seeing the XC3 story + Future Redeemed. Great video

@JMB_Smash 4 years ago

Really great video and a good summary of what we know before Xenoblade 3. All these connections to deep and interesting themes of religion/philosophy and physics is exactly why I love the Xeno series so much.
