I watched the Xenosaga games on YT. This seems to be a popular character but it hasn't clicked for me. Was it a gameplay thing?
The revelation near the end of the third game didn't help.

She was badass in battle and out of it. So many dope scenes of her just blasting ass, and her innocence yet seriousness is very endearing so it is hard to not get attached, especially after the 3rd game.

Then you use her in battle and she never disappoints there either, a top tier character in all 3 games.

Yeah as a major Xenosaga fan, I never quite understood it either. She's good but she's not even the best character in that series. I actually really like how the third game handled her at the end though.

Also, unpopular opinion: she is not hot, and looks pretty bland. Shion is way hotter.

I'd let her blast my ass tbh.

Xenosaga is special and stuck in the past and with Kos-Mos being the face of series, maybe some of it is attaching the whole thing to her.

Plus, having her as the rarest blade in XC2 brought a resurgence, and I think some hope that there might be tie-ins or remaster/remakes in the works.

Mainly because she is strong, oddly humorous and nostalgia for me. Her back story ruins the character and it's no surprise why Bandai Namco doesn't give the character modern exposure though.

shion uzuki is my all time favorite jrpg mian character
but the internet used to hate shion with a passion. 20 years ago if you said anything positive about shion 30 people would pop up to tell you she sucks
more and more i see people reevaluating her character and she is much better received these days

funny thing is that the people who hated shion, loved KOSMOS
shion is one of the most well developed lead characters in the genres history while KOSMOS is an emotionless andriod with no character until the third game

honestly for the most part KOSMOS is merely and extension of shion rather than her own character

She's a cool character. Also the mystique behind her origin and spoilery stuff was interesting to me.

Also who wouldn't want to have a hot, overpowered android by their side? >_>

Edit: Also by the end of Xenosaga 3 she kinda felt like she was legitimately looking out for the party. Especially her voice lines in battle. Made me feel at ease tbh, like if I was fighting and had her beside me, I'd feel totally safe despite her being a murderous robot at the beginning of Xenosaga 1.

chaos.

And that is proper capitalization.

I didn't really dislike any of the characters, had a few hang ups between the games like where Momo found that bow between games 1 and 2 when her first sequence in 2 follows right after 1. Liked that chaos' weapons in 1 were just progressively thinner and more tattered gloves.

So, I looked her up on the Xenosaga wiki, as I've never played this series and I've only ever seen glimpses of KOS-MOS in magazine reviews and such...

And what the fuck?

This game is about Jesus and shit? That's so much wilder than anything I could have predicted.

My opinion of Shion definitely soured in the 2nd game. Not only did she look completely different and awful (not as bad as how new kosmos looked though), but she became such a huge asshole out of nowhere. She got better in 3 but I dunno, just felt like we never got Xeno 1 Shion back.

No part of Xenosaga scratched the Xenoblade 1 itch.
Some things got close. I liked the Jr/Gaignun/Albedo stuff and I was keenly watching and waiting to see Allen finally get it together and have his moment.

One thing Xenoblade 1 didn't have though. I smiled every time someone said the word Z O H A R with a straight face.

You're only partially right. Shion got worse in 2, but then she only continued to get progressively worse in actions in 3. She never got better until the very end, but by then it was too late to salvage the character. She really was almost a completely irredeemable, selfish bitch.

not lying
every conversation ive seen about her over the years now has been a lot more nuanced by people with a better understanding of how trauma can mess with you

the entire plot of the games is the universe itself is trying to break shion and you are mad that it succeeded
every action she has good or bad makes sense for the character due to her mental state at the time and the events that lead up to it
you dont have to like her. but to say she is a shit character is a lie

Shion and Xenosaga have been mostly forgotten these days.

I suspect that if modern Xenosaga remakes/ports came out, she would still be hated for the most part.
