Hi, everyone! Nice to meet y'all. Im Lyn, been a fan of Xeno since early 2019. Spent 5 years going "one day I'll play xenoblade 1, its just so expensive. and its so pretty, but i cant look at anything or i'll spoil it", finally played it in 2019, and then not even a year later DE was announced 😂
Played Wiinoblade, XB2, XBDE, Xenogears, XB3, and bought XBX and its currently waiting for me to finish Xenosaga 1. Been busy lately, so I've gotta get back into the swing of it. Started playing XS1 alongside Resonant Arc's podcast like I did with Gears, but fell behind when life got crazy.

So yeah, I fell down the rabbit hole and now here I am. Was prompted to join here by someone, what with the whole twitterpocalypse thing currently going on (you know who you are, I already saw your avatar on here lol). And its been such a long long time since I was last on a fandom forum- like holy spark, it must've been 2006!

I've never been very social media savvy since FB essentially died for us younger gen peeps years ago- just never felt the need for it- but I started an ig and tumblr back in ~2018 and then someone there suggested posting to twitter- which is where I eventually met a lovely and surprisingly active Xenogears community. ((With the burning of twit Ive started reviving those other SM accts now; everywhere I am I go by this name, if you wanna check out my stuff (I mostly post Xenogears art nowadays and am primarily Xeno-focused, but Im multi-fandom, so occasionally I'll post other things), but enough of that))

Anywho, nice to meet you all! Its so nice finding an active community of people for what is essentially an old internet fandom. Makes me feel like I haven't completely missed out on it all. Just posting to a forum like this is definitely hitting me with a lot of nostalgia right now lol
 
Hello! I'm also become a xeno-fan in 2019!
Hi! Hey, that makes us Xeno-twinsies! 😆

Hello and welcome linnaealyn ! 🙂
As for me, I am a Xeno-fan since 2012. Ten years already !
Also I saw some of your arts on Twitter : they are sparking great ! 👏
Hihi! Thanks!
oh nice, so you've been around since basically the beginning of XB? Or did you start out with Gears or Saga during 2012?
wow, its always kinda weird when someone points out what year 10 years ago was. Ten years really seems to go by both in a flash and at a snails pace; sometimes it feels like yesterday and others it feels like a lifetime ago.

Aw, thank you so much! 😄💙💙

Hi Lyn! Welcome to the board. I am glad you found the Xeno series and found us. :)
Forums are definitely a point of nostalgia for a lot of people haha, but it's been refreshing to see the renewed interest build up over the past year or so. We have a good group here. :)

Please feel free to let me know if you have any questions about anything here.
