According to story leak game will switch to another main mc mid game, wonder if it's true.
Eleanor in
Xenoblade Genesis is “blind,” as the leaker claimed. The leaked plot summary also claims she is a slave, but in the trailer Eleanor is referred to as a “backwater noble.” Then there is the name itself. The leak from February called her “Eliza,” but the final trailer reveals her to have a slightly different name.
Because the leak got some things correct, though, some speculate that the information was based on an earlier build of the game. Many players also theorize that Eleanor becomes blind later in the game’s story. And as a result of the incident, is stripped of her nobility and sold into slavery. If this is true, then
Xenoblade Genesis sounds like it will have a
pretty dark story.
Fans have even pointed to a specific scene in the
Xenoblade Genesis trailer, as the moment where Eleanor could become blinded by an attack. Although this is purely speculation as we don’t know the full context of the cutscene.
The reason fans now believe the leak was confirmed is that Monolith Soft recently announced that Mai Yoneyama is, in fact, the main character designer for
Xenoblade Genesis. The leaker also correctly guessed that the game has two protagonists, with one of them being a female named Eleanor. However, there are a few details that might prove that the leak isn’t entirely legitimate.
