E3 2017: ‘Xenoblade Chronicles 2’ Made The Monado A Waifu

Since its reveal during Nintendo’s Switch presentation early this year, Xenoblade 2 has been on top of my list as THE game I need for the console long before any gameplay was shown. Now that we’ve seen it in action during the company’s E3 spotlight, it’s everything that I could have expected and more. Large, breathtaking maps? We got that! Vibrant, flashy real time combat? That’s all there. An over dramatic story trying to teach us about existentialism or something? Probably! And the voice actors are still British! Check out the trailer for yourself below and see it for yourself.

But most importantly, a sword that resembles the first game’s Monado appears. And it’s a waifu now!

As if it were ripped from the Fairy Fencer F script, the Aegis, the game’s new sword of legend, takes the form of a totally moe loli. As if trying to make you feel terrible for swinging your best girl around with reckless abandon, the game shows her human form feeling pain as the sword gets damaged.  Not one to leave you on your own, she’s also shown to simultaneously support you with magic attacks in the field as a human. How she can exist in both forms at the same time is a mystery to us all, but Holiday 2017 isn’t all that long from now. Nintendo can’t hide the truth forever!

Who’s the best sword girl? Does Aegis have potential? Is she even the best Aegis? Sound off below and share your thots!
