The Radio is a device in Future Redeemed. It is seen near the end of the game at the garden in The Ark where Na'el awaits the party. The radio and the program running on it reference nearly every game in the Xeno series.
Appearance[edit]
The radio has an old-school look with a wooden case. It shows a Vector Industries logo at the front. The frequency gauge has markings that represent the release date of every major Xeno game:
- Xenogears (1998)
- Xenosaga Episode I (2002)
- Xenosaga Episode II (2004)
- Xenosaga Episode III (2006)
- Xenoblade Chronicles (2010)
- Xenoblade Chronicles X (2015)
- Xenoblade Chronicles 2 (2017)
- Xenoblade Chronicles 3 (2022)
The needle lies roughly between 98 and 02, which could represent Monolith Soft's founding in October 1999.
Program[edit]
The news program called 11 News is presented by Sienna Morgan and political correspondent Barry Crow Li. This dialogue plays in the following cutscenes:

Na'el's Dream[edit]
Sienna Morgan
Well Barry, don't you think this weather we're having is just perfect?
Barry Crow Li
I do.
I think the spotless sky today will make it easy for us all to celebrate last night's momentous occasion.

Well then, let's talk more about that.
Most of our listeners know what we're talking about, but we'll recap for any latecomers.
At midnight on the sixteenth, the first Rhadamanthus Spaceport saw the launch of Earthlife Colonization Project's eighth mothership, the Icarus,
taking 480,000 settlers to the Eta Carinae Nebula in the Carina-Sagittarius Arm of the Milky Way.
The Icarus is the eighth interstellar colony ship dispatched as part of Project Exodus,
bringing the total number of colonists sent to the stars to 3 million.
The Coalition government plans to send out ships nine to thirteen in the course of this year.
The ninth vessel, departing in July, heralds a new generation of ultra-long range colony ships,
known officially as Philadelphia-class motherships.
Each vessel boasts a capacity of up to 1.5 million people,
meaning that if all goes to plan,
the project will send a total of 10 million people out into the great beyond.
Now for our next story.
It concerns the "Saviorite" Human Rights Protection bill, brought to congress last summer.
Earlier today, we heard the 13 Authorities have petitioned against the proposal,
and as the Justice Ministry's 7th Special Commission on Human Rights debates once more on its validity,
the possibility that the proposal may be scrapped seems more and more likely.
The proposal measure has sparked a lot of public debate, so many will be watching the government and the commission very closely.

There was much apprehension about the bill failing to make it all the way though the legislative process.
And indeed, that seems to be exactly what's happening right now.

Indeed.
And now, Dimitri Yuriev, councilperson from the Minos Authority,
has issued a statement concerning the matter at hand.

Further references[edit]
- The Philadelphia-class mothership is a reference to the Eldridge from Xenogears, which is also a Philadelphia-class mothership.
- Barry Crow Li's name could be a reference to Billy Lee Black:
- "Barry" and "Billy" are very similar, especially when written in katakana (バリー vs. ビリー).
- "Lee" and "Li" are both written the same way (リー).
- "Crow" is written as クロウ, which is very close to クロ, meaning "black". Additionally, crows are indeed black.
Trivia[edit]
- In the Japanese and Chinese versions of the game, the radio subtitles are written vertically, then right to left. In other languages, the subtitles are placed at the top of the screen.
