Xenoblade Chronicles 2 is a Joe game played on stream in late 2017 on release. Xenoblade 2 is widely considered the first "weeb" game Joe ever played on stream, and began the chain of events that ultimately lead to wide Chanification and The Anime Marble Race.

During JADSEYA 2023, Joe made a promise to play another Xenoblade game at a future date. As it stands, Xenoblade Chronicles Definitive Edition is the main contender.

Notable Stream Memes

One of the longest lasting stream memes that came from this game is Dadapon. In the game, there is a character called Tora who is a species called a nopon. In the Xenoblade franchise, nopon have a very peculiar way of talking, including using words for significant others that end in -pon. (I.E. "grampypon", "supervillainpon"). One of these made up words is "dadapon". Twitch chat started calling Joe this, and eventually it ended up being the base for the protagonists names in all of the Persona games that Joe played.

Another meme that came from this game is Genbu's broken. At one point in the game, the party is trapped in a giant turtle named Genbu that is rapidly descending in the game's parallel to an ocean, and this was caused by it being shot through the head with a massive laser. At one point, when the party is discussing what happened, the main character, Rex, says in response to the fact that the Genbu is rapidly descending "So Genbu's broken?". Joe found this immensely hilarious and is still referenced every now and then to this day.

The stream meme Ya Dun also originated from this game. In the first unpatched version of the game, the frequency of battle chatter was incredibly high, causing enemies to constantly shout out battle chatter phrases at a comical rate. One of these lines is "You're done", but the delivery of the line mixed with the fact that the enemies from this area of the game all have Scottish accents made it sound like "Ya dun", and so thus the JphYADUN was born. This emote is still very often used.

However, one of the most important stream memes to come from this game was Blushy Crushy. At one point in the game, Tora tries to teach Pyra how to be more "ladylike" by acting like a maid. He refers to this as "what every man looking for [sic]". and that "If Pyra master[s] blushy crushy, all men will fall to Pyra's feet." It is commonly cited as one of the most uncomfortable scenes in the entire game by the Xenoblade community, and significantly contributed to this games categorization as "anime". As this was one of the first weeb games that Joe played, he didn't take it very well.

Some other notable stream memes from this game include What whaaaaat, Carm down Mia/Nia, I ate her, and Look!

Joe overall seemed to enjoy this game, but as he puts it, "as a parody". Joe has gone on record saying that he thinks this game is meant to be ironic and funny, and not serious. From that standpoint Joe says this game may be one of the best comedies ever made, but that if it is supposed to be taken seriously, it would be one of the worst games he has ever played.
