With few exceptions,Xenoblade Chroniclesis a game series that lives and dies on its characters.

It’s Blades against BLADE!

Is the grand tale of Elysium better than the open-world heaven of Mira?

But which party members in particular should really be getting a bit more adoration?

InXenoblade Chronicles X, Celica is already among the most unique party members you’ll encounter.

Celica sets herself apart via her friendship with the giant softie Gaur named Rock.

From left to right are screenshots of Aiba (AI The Somnium Files), Mechamaru (Danganronpa 2), and Deathtrap (Borderlands 2).

But if you were that adorable, you’d take advantage too.

(Don’t worry, you’re definitely still adorable.)

Everyone knows these recognisable JRPG mascots.

Xenoblade Chronicles 2

Unflappable military leader, strategically-minded, can dish out the snark when necessary.

So someone with a more subdued and composed personality like Morag might not be immediately noticeable in comparison.

The thing is, she should be.

These ranged weapons are some of the weirdest you’ll find in gaming.

Character story aside, Sharla is honestly worth having around as a character and party member.

4Poppi

Optimistic yet almost concerningly existential at times, is a robot.

Poppi may be stretching the definition of “party member” just a bit.

But as a manufactured Blade, she’s a required presence when you have Tora on your team.

Tora himself is not underrated.

That lecherous Nopon is rated at the exact skeevy level he deserves.

So the honor goes to hisendearing little robotic creation.

Isaac Asimov created three laws to govern robots.

Triple-A Games

These Three Laws of Robotics have found their way into these video games.

Come on, this poor royal bird lady’s crush on Shulk already fell on deaf ears.

Let her have this.

Xenoblade Chronicles

These movies can feel reminiscent of the scale and immersion of Xenoblade Chronicles.
