Forgive me for thirstposting on main real quick, but I just still can't get over this.

Like, holy damn, Monolith just decided that if they were gonna be bringing back these characters, they'd make them the biggest thirst traps ever.

Shulk went Dunban mode and he's absolutely rocking the look, Rex heard people making fun of him and hit the gym hard, Melia got a new haircut and a dress that didn't go for a panties out look, and she's elegant as fuck, and my beloved waifu Nia fused her blade look and her driver look into her ultimate design, accented with spectral copies of her wives' swords.

These four are the bisexual dream, like hot damn they're peak attractive.

So where the hell is Rhadamanthus?

OK, lets list some things we know about the space elevators, orbital ring, and conduit in xenoblade 3:

the orbital ring is around the equator exactly

the orbital ring has three space elevators, Minos, Aeacus, and Rhadamanthus (the world tree)

the conduit/zohar was found in Africa, PRESUMABLY near lake turkana, just north of the equator in Kenya

presumably, the three space elevators are equidistance from eachother, at three different spots on the equator

ok now that we've got that straightened out, lets try and pinpoint the locations of the three stations. The only one we actually see is Rhadamanthus, and at the end of future redeemed we get to see the surrounding areas.

Many people were quick to note how much this looks like California. A sprawling city by the sea with mountains inland. not to mention the obviously american architecture. Hell when we visit the same place in xenoblade 2 we see ruins of road signs made in the american style. Including references to a interstate 236, that doesn't exist

But, obviously, there's no part of the USA that straddles the equator. So we have to look for other locations that fit the bill. First of all, we know that the flashback to the city in future redeemed takes place during the afternoon, as we hear the radio broadcaster mention that the show is the afternoon news. Shadows point east in the afternoon as the sun is in the west. We see shadows pointing away from the sea in future redeemed, so that must mean that the location of Rhadamanthus is on a west coast.

There are only three countries with a west coast the equator cuts through: Gabon, Indonesia, and Ecuador.

Gabon doesn't fit the bill, it's too flat.

Indonesia has several islands on the ecuator that COULD fit the bill, but I'm really interested in ecuador here.

this part of ecuador right on the equator fits the bill perfectly. by the sea, with mountains inland, on the west coast, and there's a BIG reason to suspect rhadamanthus is here, but I'll come back to that in a bit... For the record, I'm going to assume that the areas around all three space elevators are administered by the USA, or at least the "coalition goverment". We know the USA had a MASSIVE hand in at least Rhadamanthus's management as we see references to the US government in it in xenoblade 2. I'm imagining it to be a panama canal situation, where only a small strip of land around the space elevator is actually controlled by the USA. Which would explain the road signs and the non existent interstate. (worth mentioning that 236 could be a connecting road to the nearby pan american highway). Anyway, what about the other two

Well. Obviously one of them is going to be in East Africa right? To the south of lake Turkana. They'd build up from where they found the conduit for sure. So, what are some potential locations? Well, about 175 miles south of the lake is the city of Nanyuki. Right on the ecuator, and has an airport. Perfect spot for a major development to happen.

So, what two locations are equidistance from Nanyuki on the equator? Well, to find that we need to divide the circumference of the world into thirds, and then measure that number along the equator from Nanyuki in both directions

the circumference of the world is 40075km, divided by 3 is 13358.33km To the east 12258km from Nanyuki is...

The middle of the ocean... which is fine. There are no three spots on land on the ecuator which are equidistance from eachother. There was always going to be somewhere in the water. But the way i see it, if you can build a space elevator you can build an artificial island. So this probably wouldn't be an issue. It gets exciting when you go west though, because 13358km west of Nanyuki is...

RIGHT OF THE COAST OF ECUADOR.

Within a margin for error of about 300km too. and if you're building a structure of that scale 300km is nothing. Rhadamanthus could've absolutely been right there on that coast. Anyway, this has been my TED talk. Rhadamanthus is in Ecuador. Why the conduit is there and not in Nanyuki... well thats a whole different question to ask.

I love xenoblade chronicles 1 and 3 because the antagonists are just some fucked up doppelgangers of the protagonists.

Xenoblade chronicles 2 unfortunately doesn't follow the formula but I can forgive it because the antagonist is a gay man.

I love how bitter morag is about the water tower in xenoblade 2 because you'll be shoping 3 or 4 chapters after and rex will say like "wow that was expensive wanit" and then morag will be like "do you know what else is expensive a bloody water tower"

Shulk is a funny dude.

He was this dorky blond teen who eats sandwiches, stares at clouds and tinkers with machines all day before becoming this murder happy edge lord who wants to kill every last mechon to ever exist. He then dials it back a few and instead of wanting to murder the mechon, he wants to understand why they must kill Homs. He then tries to seek a peaceful solution to the war with the mechon, since he realizes that he can’t stomach the thought of killing a living person like himself. After that he then becomes murder happy again and kills a man who he saw as an uncle before killing god himself.

Love him.

Me before playing Xenoblade 3: Since Melia and Nia got screwed out of their romances, I hope X3 is just full of lesbian subtext between the two, it'll be so funny.

Me after playing Xenoblade 3: Poor Melia can't even get her rebound lesbian subtext. That said, congrats Nia!

If I had a penny for every game I fell in love with that starred a little twink with a magic destiny sword that dove from an incredible height after a blond girl through to be lost to him forever I’d have two pennies,

Which isn’t a lot but it’s weird it happened twice
