It's really messed up how it's implied the dad basically went crazy and forced Nia to become a replacement daughter by turning her into a flesh-eater. Also since Nia was most likely the daughter's blade, she would have had to become a flesh-eater while the daughter was still alive and Nia very well probably considered the daughter as a sister. She had to "eat" her sister and then basically serve as her replacement. It's honestly no wonder why she wanted to hide herself considering the amount of trauma she endured.
I think she was her father's blade along with Dromarch, she said that they lost all their money looking for a cure for Nia's sister, and I think the father tried healing blades, being Nia and Dromarch. Nia being the father's blade was kind of like being the daughters sister. Then you have the whole flesh eater thing and the father going crazy trying to make Nia essentially be his daughter. Then the father died, Nia was still alive because she was a flesh eater, and Dromarch returned to his core, later being reawakened by nia.
@@nefylia4037 Yes, also if Nia was the daughter's blade, she would have returned to her core crystal when the daughter died. Unless she was turned into a flesh eater while the daughter was still barely alive, which would be extremely messed up.
@@HarveyHirdHarmonics The backstory is already fucked up, and Jin, Akhos and Patroca did much the same. Nia said she was taught to be a lady even before her sister died, and even called her 'sister', so I would imagine that, on some level, her dad was found of her as well. Enough to decide that losing Nia and his daughter was too much.
wackytactics Glad someone agrees! It's interesting, because I focused on Nia's role in the story more, but mainly because I played as her for a majority of the game. So the whole expedition in the Spirit Crucible Elphys was a huge treat.
There's like a billion reasons I love Nia but I gotta say I really love the way they wrote in Nia's backstory. I love this idea that Nia has been a party member almost as soon as this adventure started and that in spite of that it's so late in the game that Nia finally shares about her past. It's kinda of just refreshing for how rarely RPGs have their characters hold out on that kind of stuff and it makes sense that considering how traumatic that experience is and what kind of personality Nia has that she wouldn't share freely share that with just anyone, she only does it because at this point she genuinely cares about and trusts the rest of the party to not only share this in conversation but actively want to finish telling the story because she WANTS them to know this about her. I think it's a really sweet moment for Nia and such a great part of her arc.
5:18 - So, elephant in the room. The frail/dead girl looks like Nia. Does that mean Flesh Eaters can adopt some traits of the person they consume? Jin obviously didn't but, lol plot.
I have a problem with that claim though. She's stated to be a Flesh Eater, which is a Blade that's consumed human DNA. Blade eaters are humans that have a piece of a Blade attached to them. This is further backed up by the Indoline Loyalists accusing her of cannibalism as she's running from them. The "father" even indicates something's up by telling her that a piece of her "sister" lives on inside her and insists he call her Father, so it's evident they're not biologically related. Which is probably what caused her to start calling them her family. It's even shown that Flesh Eaters can live on without their Drivers, as Cole is still alive after Amalthus' death. Alhough he doesn't do so hot because he was dying anyway.
Makes sense. It is stated that their data is sent to the Trinity processor or the Aegises, one of the two, and new evolutionary code is sent back to advance their forms. Which explains Rare and Special Blades and how pairings can sometimes complement each other. See: Zeke and Pandoria, and Nia and Dromarch. Could also be why their memories are wiped when they "die" because their data is downloaded and used.
The first person to awaken a blade has the biggest influence on their appearance and personality. It's possible that when he awakened Nia and she took the his daughter's appearance because that's what was his greatest desire, to see his daughter well once again.
She's a spirit too, at the moment. But since Smash isn't finished after Ultimate, we're definitely gonna see more Xenoblade reps. Probably the Xenoblade Chronicles 3 protagonist, and then the main antagonists.
Isnt this what jaochim tried doing to his daughter? Put it inside a robot? Very cool reference. Also she's sought out as a source of power. She even makes a fusion stone in xenoblade 3. Her powers to combine and heal others is a true reference to xenonlade 3. The whole talk about sunrise. And meeting Jin. Its like parallels. Jin wasnt the one for her, yet he was the catalyst due to his shared past. It is about not having fear as rex says.
Both Sakura and Nia's sister have an untreatable disease, and one of Nias outfits is named Sakura (cherry blossom) color coordinated Nia. I wonder if the similarities are supposed to be intentionall.
The twisted part to all of this is that Nia's powers as a flesh eater means she only got the chance to save those she cares about after her sister died and was fused into her body. Not only that but because she (evidently) "ate" the entire body she became forced to bear her dead sister's form in driver form. And after she just began to think of her driver as her father he dies too. Essentially her driver form being a painful reminder of the life she lost. At least she got to live a happy life once it was over
Nia was originally a blade (probably the blade of the girl who died of illness). blades turn into flesh eaters after consuming a human heart, so it's implied that the father made Nia eat her drivers heart after not being able to save her from her illness, to become sort of a replacement daughter (as shown when he tells Nia to address him as "father")
Something that confuses me is why Jin’s core crystal is completely red. If that’s because he ate a human heart, why don’t other flesh eaters have full red core crystals?
@@ParaternalSkies64 I think it was stated somewhere that Jin's Flesh Eater transformation was as close to perfect as it could be. Because of that, his Core Crystal turned red all the way instead of being the blue-pink mix that other Flesh Eaters have.
@@boas7742 it's a bit blurry. Some imply it's more a surgical procedure. Like Cole. Jin has a scar like he ripped his chest open to shove Lora's heart inside. And the preatoriem calls nia a cannibal. So she may have been much more literal of a flesh eater.
@@bensell982 I’m pretty sure it might have been amalthus who changed her name. She doesn’t remember anything and amalthus clearly knew about her meaning he must have known her name as well. Considering how amalthus basically enslaved haze it wouldn’t be to shocking if he lied to her about her identity, especially since he was around when she was called fan, cause he literally killed Lora.
Uuuuuuurrrggghhhhh but respect yourself and play with the actual good Japenese voice From every game i ever play Xenoblade chronicle 2 ave the worst english voice acting i ever hear with the hyper dimension Neptunia franchise Why Nyah ave a Valley girl voice!? Why Rex sound like a 35 year old british buttle also what did they do with anna Voice >< .... Here you go my ears are bleeding again >
Ew i guess eating Shit enough make you like the taste >_< The only japenese game i ave played with decent voice acting was Persona 5 ... To bad the game take place in Tokyo lol

Sad cat tales :,c
But I like that moody Welsh cat girl

Same. xD
I was thinking she would have a slightly high pitch voice maybe.
You probably expected something closer to her japanese voice

So... why isn't Nia more than just a Mii Brawler costume in Smash Ultimate?

oml dat part where poppi burnt tora
I seriously want to pet Nia.
0:40 Lmao one of my favorite Tora moments xD
Still doesn't explain why she's 30% cat.
Crabstick Joe shes a Gormotti a Torigoth native
she was half cat and the girl she took over was half cat and this is the result
Gormotti people just seem to have cat ears
Fan service
You say that as if Pandoria having lightbulbs all over her (and a tail), and Sheba literally coming with a bathtub is completely fine.
I claimed Nia as my waifu when this game came out
Pyra is clearly superior.
But Nia is nice.
Pyra? Mythra is more me

@@katiemckinney9456 because it was the bond he had with Lora the better the bond with the driver the stronger the flesh eater they are

Flesh eaters are blades who have fused with human cells

She ate a part of her body
She ate her heart
