Found this via [USER=976]@linnaealyn[/USER] and had fun filling it out; I feel like maybe I took this quiz in the past and just forgot, or maybe it was for another series?
It’s a character sorter that lets you choose who you prefer (or mark them as a tie). It covers Xenogears, Xenosaga, and Xenoblade. You can filter them by game and by character role.
Here are my lists, which I’d tweak if I was actually making a list on my own, but y’know. I have a tendency to mark a lot of matchups as a tie, which makes for some… interesting? results
hey yeah i made this! happy to see it spreading even further than i thought lol if anyone has any suggestions, please feel free to let me know! i do have a feedback form specifically, but the forum works fine enough for contacting me as well!
i’ve received many reports about what appear to be bugs but aren’t, so it seems there’s a communication gap between the site and user. therefore, i have created this survey for users to fill out so i can make the site better so everything will go smoother when the XC3 DLC releases. please fill this out if you’d like and if you have any friends that have also done it, please spread it to them as well! the more data, the better i can make the experience for the future (CONTAINS SPOILERS): https://forms.gle/gUymRGxMto75pLBp9
I don’t know enough about Xenoblade to fill out the required fields on the survey, so here’s bonus clarification that might help with one of the notes I brought up.
[SPOILER=“XSI & XSII spoilers I guess?”]The way you have it phrased isn’t incorrect, necessarily, but part of the context is that the character himself does not like being referred to by that name (brings up a lot of bad memories). Cutscene here, happens right at the start:
[MEDIA=youtube]GDLUYrZrpr4[/MEDIA] [size=2]View: https://youtu.be/GDLUYrZrpr4[/size]
In the fandom, the four URTV Variants are typically referred to as Jr., Albedo, Citrine, and Gaignun (because Jr. and Gaignun canonically do not like being called “Rubedo” and “Nigredo” and ask other characters not to use those names (Canaan @2:45 & MOMO @6:00 [MEDIA=youtube]KpIutL-6mkA[/MEDIA] [size=2]View: https://youtu.be/KpIutL-6mkA[/size]
and Helmer (above), respectively).
Sometimes they’re referred to as Rubedo and Nigredo in the context of “flashbacks when they were still kids and hadn’t renamed themselves yet” but for the vast majority of the game, everyone refers to them as Jr. and Gaignun… except for Albedo, who uses their child soldier model names deliberately to taunt them.
tl;dr both in-universe and to the fandom he’s known as Gaignun[/SPOILER]
I think there are some characters who would be good to add for both XG and XS but I’ll have to take a moment to make a list.
I’ll keep an eye out for anything else that might help, too!
yeah this all makes a lot of sense to me! fwiw, i’m pretty sure the name was nigredo when i took the project on so i never actually went back and thought about it until you brought it up. just added it to the survey to see what other people thought since i’ve been outside the saga community. i expect to change it to gaignun though!
Awesome, thanks! I think that’ll at least make it consistent.
Off the top of my head, I’d suggest adding Almadel, Hermann, Kirsch, Mai Magus, Richard, and Sellers; maybe Abel and U-DO, too? to the list of characters. Let me know if you need help finding good images for anybody! I don’t mind getting them for you.
thanks for the list! i’d be happy to take images for them as well; saves me a lot of time. i do try for them to all have transparent backgrounds, but if you can’t do that then i’ll try to do my best!
gonna write this here too but i also gotta include joachim and maybe shion’s dad… i don’t remember what he does at the moment though lol
Good call yeah! I wasn’t sure how much we wanted to get into side characters but I can list a bunch more. [SPOILER]Suou Uzuki is her dad, and I don’t think you have Sakura Mizrahi in there, do you?
hey all! i’m doing a total reword of character tagging due to confusion from users, so i’m gonna share a list of characters that i’m not sure exactly how you would characterize them. the tags they can have are: Protagonist, NPC, Major Antagonist, Minor Antagonist, Nopon, BLADE (XCX), Blade (XC2), Hero, Consul (note: people want to be able to do the list without consuls but don’t want to not be able to keep the important ones so any that are not story special are only given the consul tag despite being minor antagonists). also feel free to suggest a better tag if you can think of one!
Cherenkov
Sergius
Voyager
Virgil
Citrine
Alvis
Lorithia
Gael’gar
Ahkos, Patroka, Mikhail
Azurda
Gort
Consul D
Cherenkov - Minor Antagonist
Sergius - Minor Antagonist
Voyager - Major Antagonist
Virgil - Major Antagonist
Citrine - Minor Antagonist
Based my decisions here on how many times there’s a boss fight, basically And came this close to wanting to list Cherenkov as a protagonist, RIP
thanks for the input, elen! i really appreciate it and it helped a lot. should have a decent sized update coming soon (albeit will probably not mean much to the user lol)
decent update to the xeno sorter! i refactored the character roles so they should work closer to what people expect, added a news section, and added links to the wikis for every character so you no longer need to rack your brain over who consul L or queen zephyr are! https://fourthstrongest.github.io/
hey all! another update about the xeno sorter site: i have moved it over to https://xenosorter.github.io/ so it will be easier to remember and make more sense for users. if you access the previous site, you will be sent to a page that links to both the xeno sorter and soulhacker tracker sites that i’ve made. thanks for reading and using the sites!
I feel so called out, I vaguely remembered her but couldn’t remember if she was an asshole or not
