Who Will Inhabit the Bionis' Shoulder in Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition? 

The unexpected iDubbbz GIF made me laugh so hard “Edoops pls analyze mah house, eets on the sholdur of Bioneis” And Arglas is 11’10”, you added the numbers wrong

Kay: Who will inhabit the Bionis shoulder? High entia? Homs? Nopon? Machina? Monolithsoft: *Y E S*

I think I definitely agree with the theory that it's a Homs colony where the High Entia go to find consorts, and the Nopon being there is a given because of how they can be found in almost every single Bionis area in the game.

I just can’t wait to explore the Bionis Shoulder. I still hate Juju though.

Similar to the "reduce the tirkin population" quest, I thought the "kill hode for bullying a Nopon" was interesting morally since they're relatively intelligent. Would be cool if they had more development but they seem a bit too gobliny. I would have said the same about Tirkin though and xenoblade 2 happened

I think you have gone so in depth that there is nothing left to discuss lol

Clearly they're gonna add the Gormotti

In my opinion the bionis shoulder was the original location of colony 6. Remember when Dickson said ‘we need to pull the line back to colony 6” That means that they have to climb half way down the bionis. But if colony 6 was on the shoulder it would make more sense.

"Sigma's Shoulder Armor" I understood that reference.

I have the theory that there are Humas on the shoulder and we will have to go there to find Melia's family, which is why she appears in the trailer. remember that in a conversation Melia mentions that she wants to find her mother's family after Alcamoth is restored, after all Melia is the only character who did not have a true "happy ending" m.imgur.com/a/uWPGJL2

Well, with what we've seen of Future Connected so far, the Nopon definitely seem to be confirmed.

My one issue with homs being the ones to live on Bionis Shoulder is the fact that at one point in the game, Shulk refers to Colony 6 as the only other homs colony left. Though, seeing how Adam Howden is probably going to do additional lines for the Definitive Edition it wouldn't surprise me if they ret-conned that. Also #TirkinLivesMatter

"If you had fun, you won!" ❤ Amazing video! 😊

Arglas was trapped underground for centuries, and we dont know how old he was when he was put there. I'm willing to accept he grew during that time. And maybe giants have some sort of genetic trait that makes them grow for much longer than other races

Another great vid! I definitely agree with the claim that the village is most likely a settlement of Homs consorts placed there by the High Entia. We know that they looked down upon the Homs, and it’s possible that the primitive design reflects the necessity to build a working city with no help from previous Homs or High entia just to House consorts. It’s not too big and it’s location in relation to Alcomoth just makes the most sense

Interesting video. I would like to see another race habiting this zone, it would help the would building. But we'll more nopons are always welcome and I'm sure it would be a cool zone to explore, no mater the race habiting it.

I hope the shoulder is inhabited by Homs. A colony under High Entia control with the Homs as a minority. That way the game can go into more depth of the racism that pure blooded High Entia were shown to harbor in Alcamoth. Maybe explain that immigration laws were strict and that's why no Homs who knew of the High Entia were found anywhere else on Bionis. I also have a strong feeling that the Area will be important of the Replica Monado. In the original game it just showed up with no fanfare. I think since the Shoulder is so close to the Bionis head, it'll have some story reason for including a quest where you gather the materials for the Replica Monado.

So this guy called Bana being in it

You deserve more subs, hopefully your channel will get bigger once the new game comes out, keep up the good work

the editing in this video is really slick holy, i think the zooms, animations, and fades are really good, some of the ones in the list of races is a bit stiff but otherwise really good. also some of the sound effects didnt really fit imo but i think its mostly just a volume and how short they play for alsooooooooo i didnt even consider that it could be a non homs settlement, i always kinda assumed that it was a less advanced homs colony, tho, i feel like witth the high entia living right there (and the shoulder having a chance of being connected by land to eryth sea), that either the homs or high entia would make the settlement a bit more modern, at least closer to that of colonies 9 and 6. it would be really interesting to see a hode or igna or tirkin settlement but like you deduced, i dont think it would make much sense. tho the hodes do seem like one of the least developed races in terms of how much we know about them, so there is a chance we'll at least see a base/camp of theirs on the shoulder. Maybe at a higher elevation since they seem familiar with heights and do also appear in a dense forest i kinda hope there is like a main base for them, since it wouldnt really make sense to have them exist exclusively in eryth and makna if the location ID is to be believed lol unrelated, do you think that DE will have seamless, or at least more seamless areas? like how x just said no to loading screens?

answer: bird people and fogbeasts

I was really hoping for giants, but it's not very likely due to the size of the buildings. I am however totally on board with the theory of the shoulder being the origin of the homs consorts.

I for one would love to see the giants living here, havent watched the video yet but thats what ive been hoping for

I find it interesting how you did this video without mentioning the fact that the walled city in the unused Shoulder has a lot of textures shared with Colony 9. That and the whole "Colony 6 is on the leg, going from the hand to the leg is stupid" thing I mentioned in the comments of the previous video.

Nopons live even in Mira. They are everywhere.

I really looks like this settlement is a homs colony but the problem is that there should not be any homs left except for colony 6 and 9 if i remember correct. I can remember that it where said that all other colonies are no longer so it would make no sense if the remaster just says you know we lied and there where actually 3 colonies left. PS.: If given this more thought and its also unlikely that nopon or high entia would life on the shoulder. Firstly both build different so it does not like like they where the one to build this so even if they where lifing there it would probably not be alone and in that case the most sence would be that homs build it wich i already said would make this abandon. There is no reason for any of those to re settle there beauce thy still have plenty of space and its extremly unpractical to just randomly split up in thermes of trading would be way harder. (Huge spoiler to XC1) Also the high entia transform during the story so it would kinda be weird not telling about the other high entia city during this even. One possibility i could think of where that this is a halfing settlement so that they are not effected but otherwise you gotta at least mention it. One thing you maybe could say is that there are machina. First it sound weird but we know that before the war the bionis and mechonis where in harmony so its not weir from that standpoint that machina living on the bionis and maybe there just forgotten from the war and they would not be so stupid to just run to the homs while they are at ware. This could give us a machina companion even maybe. Another thing that coulb be is that this is abandon and a ruin. from the location of colony 9 and think you could say this is colony 1. I don't know what to do there except for a huge side story probably with dunban because he would probably know from the other colonys. The last thing i could think is that this whil becom the dlc area like XC2's but this time its a city. When mentioning dlc whou thinks that XC1 gets something like torna the golden country. It could be something like Dunban's story during the war and tell us mor from the war of the homs side.

If juju isin't ruling the shoulder I'm not buying.

Based off the fact that the 2 homs colony's are called 6 and 9 respectively, that begs the question of where the other 7 colony's are located (or were located if they were wiped out by the mechon). I think the Hom's explanation fits best for this location, and the high entia using this place to pick up people for their cross-breeding makes the most since. To further support this the high entia technology could be the reason that the city wasn't turned into a crater like colony 6... The flaw in this logic: if this was an upper colony, why didn't Dunban know about the high entia? Only dickson has met them, but if this is one of the numbered colony's, then both because of trader's travelling between the various colony's, and all the colony's going to fight the mechon together, the high entia shouldn't be just a myth (after all a giant floating city does tend to raise a few eyebrows)... so could this be a lost hom's settlement then?

Everybody gangsta, until they find Sans on the shoulder.

Y’know, due to the fact some people think we’re at most gonna get two new party members in DE... probably a Machina... if we do get two... ngl if it is Tirkin I wouldn’t mind a sudden Tirkin party member cause why not.

Then ters nopom thay to live in maka forts along with them

My guess. It's whatever that cat race was called in Xenoblade 2.
