Endless now



The endless now is a concept in Xenoblade Chronicles 3. It is Moebius's core philosophy and an alternate name for Aionios.

Description
The endless now is the state of the world of Aionios, wherein the flow of time is frozen in one instant. This created the world of Aionios, where the future does not exist. It is perpetuated through the eternal cycle of life and death instigated by Z and Moebius.

Story
The concept is first explored at the beginning of Chapter 6, while Noah is Amidst Fog, viewing the memories of his past lives.

Trivia

 * The endless now concept is similar to the Eternal Recurrence in the Xenosaga trilogy.
 * Both involves trapping the universe in an eternal cycle instigated by the main antagonists to avoid a perceived catastrophe.
