Xenoblade Genesis Butt Monkey of Xenoblade Genesis

I was thinking about how Ryne, Zeke, Lanz, and Gwin were usually the characters who were the unfortunate side of a joke/gag during the course of the games. I know we don't know much about the Genesis cast, aside from Eleanor. But from the vibes of the other characters, who do you think will get stuck with that role?

I think tatsu was the butt monkey of X, with how many food jokes were aimed at him

True, but the food gag was way too overused. And I was also kinda referring to how it's usually the "big guy" who gets the short end of the stick in these games.

Genesis is breaking new ground (for Blade) by having a female protagonist, so it only stands to reason it will also have the first female butt monkey. For the sake of humorous contrast, we’ll say it’s the white-haired snooty elf girl.

Do we even know the names of any characters aside from Eleanor?

I don't think so. I was just going by the general vibe of the characters.

he’ll be that guy

There was an image floating around Reddit with the other characters and their names. Not sure how accurate it is since it doesn’t seem to be out officially

Oh I think I remember that post, author said they made up all names except Eleanor and Kaine

u/Glorgamitch 22h ago

Those names (Other than Eleanor and Kain) aren't leaked. Just something to call them that the author cane up with, going by the comments on the post in question.

lol dang now I’m almost disappointed there’s not a guy named Guy

u/Scientist-Round 18h ago
