Not exactly "depths of" Xeno Series Wiki — arguably the exact opposite — but: XSW's main page links to other affiliated wikis (as is typical). What is not typical is the icons they use — each a stylised kanji in the vein of a Monado Art icon. Can you identify them all?

Areas in Oblivia in Xenoblade Chronicles X are named after — of all things — IRL football (soccer) players.

well ok then

The official title of the Underground Ruins area theme in Xenosaga III is misspelt. All official sources call it "Zarathustra dangeon".

But hey, for the one guy who needed to know that the Urayan Bobbile Brog has 1.5x the chance to drop a Common Core Crystal compared to its Gormott brethren, we got you.

Sakura's first appearance was not in Xenosaga Episode II, but instead in Xenosaga Freaks, which released two months earlier. Even though her house is seen in both games only very briefly, they made sure the Freaks version resembled the Episode II version as much as possible (minus the Bunnie plush).

Monolith should make official YTPs again.

Do you guys less than 3 pizza? I certainly do.

Your drill is the drill that will s̶t̶a̶n̶d̶ ̶t̶a̶l̶l̶ ̶a̶n̶d̶ ̶s̶h̶a̶k̶e̶ pierce the heavens!

Wiki editors can make a "user page" about themselves, and any wiki worth its salt lets users make userboxes. Here are some of the ways users have decorated their pages.

On Wikipedia, if you click the first hyperlink in an article's main body and repeat, you will almost always arrive at "Philosophy". On Xeno Series Wiki, the equivalent article is "Square". Try it yourself: xenoserieswiki.org/wiki/Special... (or use the "Random page" link in the sidebar).

Any OGs remember "Here's Melia looking the other way"?

Eloquent fellow.

least obscure Xenoblade 2 mechanic

Xenosaga: Pied Piper has several entities which coincidentally share names with Xenoblade characters: characters named Klaus (Torres) and Mikhail (Ortmann), and a boss named Egil. Humorously, all three are relevant at once.

In Nimue's line "Not that l have much time to spare...", the "l" is actually a lowercase L, not a capital i. l thought this was a mistake in the transcription onto the wiki page, but no, it's in the gameripped subtitles too.
