You say that, but Project X Zone 2 (which is effectively a sequel to this game) does have a hot spring scene...

Ten photos taken seconds before disaster

I would say that Xenosaga is a sort-of reboot of Xenogears, but Takahashi gave up on it after Xenosaga was cut short and made the first Xenoblade its own thing (and X is also its own thing). Xenoblade 2 reuses various themes and concepts from Xenogears, but not enough that I would call it another sort-of reboot.

I assume you're still in Uraya? If so, there's a kid in Fonsa Myma who wants a Coral Nopon Chess Set, which can be bought from Nopox Hobby Store in Argentum after completing the merc mission Cooking Display (which requires development level 2 in Argentum, which you might not have yet). There's also one in the next area that has you give a Golden Cylinder to someone, so you can be on the lookout if you don't have one yet.

That requires you to do "good deeds" around Alrest. There are a few methods of doing so, but you only need to do three. I can tell you what they are depending on what locations you've reached in the story.

@Shrimperor Since you're done with the game now, here are some things you might be interested in reading (obviously they contain spoilers for the last chapter). Interview with the developers discussing the ending and other things (also talks about Torna, but there aren't spoilers for it) Information on the backstory that came with a figure of Siren

It seems you're only missing Praxis, Theory, Newt, Zenobia, and Elma. Newt and Zenobia are randomly summonable, but New Game Plus adds new Blades to the summon pool so you might want to wait until you start NG+ to summon for them. Also in regard to the endings for XC1 and 2:

I got KOS-MOS after 65 hours, and I still had around 10 Blades left after her. And I didn't think anyone would unironically confuse them, but Chuggaaconroy thought Godfrey was KOS-MOS so... You just jinxed yourself, now it will take 200 hours for you to get them all.

Are you sure you didn't get Godfrey instead? Apparently they're easily mistaken for one another.

Chroma Katanas should be helpful here.

Masatsugu Saito when asked why Mythra's Super Smash Bros. spirit needed to have tights

Tharja. And is that 13 overall? There are only 20 obtainable via random summoning, so I would consider holding off on summoning more until you get more Drivers.

The anti-spoiler mob demands tribute!

Oh no, I hope you haven't been spoiled that Shulk is the final boss! That's not a joke by the way, you have to beLIEve me. Don't worry, it's a joke.

There are two obtained randomly (Dagas and Newt), and one is New Game Plus exclusive.

One thing I appreciate about that Nia scene is that

Even Ace Attorney is not safe from the tee hee...

On one hand, Marianne won, but on the other...

Azami: Drinks, Literature, Red Opal Lipstick (Aquaneze Cosmetics in Fonsa Myma), and Steamflake Tabbouleh (Griogair's Greens in Alba Cavanich) Dahlia: Veggies, Cosmetics, Poached Fruit Samod (Platini Deli in Theosoir), and Tantal Icecube (made with Dahlia's Icecraft skill, which is unlocked through her affinity chart) Poppi QT: Veggies, Art, Sky-Jewel Tart (Salter Sweets in Alba Cavanich), and Genbu-Weave Cloth (Boldarde Textiles in Theosoir) Lastly, you can get the quest for Omega Poppi in Chapter 8. You'll know its available when you unlock level 5 of Tiger! Tiger!

You'll probably be spoiled if you look it up yourself, so you should just ask about it in this thread if you need to.

The message wasn't that subliminal, you know. Rex says that Tora should be on the front lines so there isn't much room for misinterpretation.

That's good, Nia can Launch with Knuckle Claws (which is Adenine's weapon type) so that makes the Driver Combo easier for you. I don't remember if it's a default art or if you have to switch it in, so you should check when you get the chance.

Jeez, save some rare Blades for the rest of the party. Have you rescued Nia yet? Meanwhile in my recent playthrough, I was halfway through the game before I got five rare Blades...

It worth noting that it just has Castlevania's animation studio. It's being written by Brian Duffield whose works are mostly various combinations of action, horror, and comedy, which given K:SI seems to be fitting. The last time I read Deathly Hallows, I skipped the whole 300 page camping trip and resumed when they got back to Hogwarts. I assume that's the part where it gets "really good". Though in hindsight, maybe I should've at least resumed from the Malfoy Manor part... Using Corvin before postgame is for quitters! He makes the game too easy.
