Firstly, Eliatopia is Earth, genetically altered by the eliatopian government for some unspecified as of yet reason. Proof of this includes the abandoned gas station in templar, alongside the abandoned cars, which bear a 90s esque vehicle design compared to the futuristic, fatter electric cars present in places like Alion. Why is this proof? Well, in the nature factory, it is stated that they are altering the EARTH'S soil, said soil clearly being templar's, the least modern place in eliatopia, with this abandoned gas station being one if it's last human remnants.
The deeper one dwelves in eliatopia, the least natural the world is. More modern architecture, more advanced technology and generally less bumpkins lying around, AND WHAT IS THE NON-EARTHLY SOIL SHOWN??? THAT'S RIGHT, areas further on in the game, where less and less remnants of human civilization lie!
That's right, it was earth the whole time! Xpodz was a lie indeed! Now, that leaves us with the obvious question, why is Xantis such a space hitler? Well, he's a prick, but that leads into our next topic.
Eliatopians are simply corrupted humans, which we find out via Rekishi's library account in Alion. It's revealed there that, one, Renegades are offspring of Eliatopians and Humans, but also that Eliatopians themselves have hints of human dna present in them. Renegades are simply beings that gain back human characteristics, such as two eyes and brows, and red skin pigmentation. This begs the question, how and why did Eliatopians become...well, Eliatopians. To that I say I have no clue, but, next up I'd like to point out THE most underrated part of the nature factory.
The consciousness research facility harnesses human brains, and all bosses have human conscience deep within. This is infact very, VERY thoroughly touched upon in the factory (I'm serious, it's like ten minutes worth of reading with a lot of moral questions in there, watch: https://youtu.be/U3ZsV9mYngE for the voice clips btw), but essentially, it reveals that once the scientists in the nature factory added an embryo in the mix for the Cionic Organism, the being became MUCH more conscious and skilled in magic, and it refers to itself as Alex. Now, why would mixing a human embryo, in an organism controlled by a brain with satellites, make it able to do more human things, like state how it has been horribly mutilated, state it's name, and attack the people who made it WITH A FVCKING STAFF...GEE, wonder why.
Yeah, pretty clear to me by the extensive diary descriptions that all the brains in the consciousness research facility are human, a HORRIBLY GRIM thing too considering how Xantis having them used in less human-able bodies means they are unable to properly comprehend the destruction they are doing. Now, why Xantis is using them for genocide or making them VERY large, I have no idea, but considering his whole agenda, he probably enjoys the tragedy, like the evil mf he is. The only real explanation though, is that maybe he knows he will never be able to create proper artificial intelligence (with most of their robotic weapons being absolutely braindead, with just the scrap bot presenting a real challenge, AND EVEN THAT is due to sheer brutality rather than brains), and human brains are...WELL pretty much worthless to him, so...
Xantis is hiding something, and we are going to find out once we locate that dang secret house!. Thanks for reading, I really want people to actually give a shιτ about the lore because it's the one thing that is 100% leagues better than HH, which was literally just some ninja dudes bullying nubs with spawn balls. THIS is something I can actually sink my teeth into, ya know?
Have a good one.
