When I played A Link To The Past I got that. exact same feeling of time traveling and getting to know the foundation of what we experience these days with modern Zelda games. Glad to know I am not the only one experiencing these feelings lol

Okay, I know it was a VERY quick thing, but that impression at 2:42:00 was on point!

1:38:01 No, he hates hot wind.

1:31:32 Deku tree - Forest Dodongos cavern - Fire Jabu Jabus belly - Water Bottom of Well - Shadow Spirit Temple - Spirit Temple Very intentional.

1:21:29 Moreso when he's taken some damage.

1:19:45 What order was this edited in?

1:02:02 They didn't miss the ball or the mark with Princess Ruto. Her being the way she is, is the point.

47:03 Tears of the Kingdom Link is the oldest yet, but not quite 25. Majoras Mask & Twilight Princess are somewhat dark, but not necessarily M rated.

One of the important things to remember is that, while the Norse gods aged and got weaker, the Greek gods got stronger as they got older. At this point kratos is like 900 years old I think? The reason things go so slowly sometimes is because he is having to hold back so he doesn't just destroy what he's doing. This is also why he holds back his rage. If he was at full strength, he doesn't want to risk killing his family again, and doesn't want to be the engine of destruction he used to be. On a different note, what was with with the chisel sections? Did you not play with vibration or something? Because you're not supposed to just randomly hack at the crystal 😂

that picture of Nia Broken my hearth and Poppy surprice kill my soul 😭 I love Xenoblade 2, Xenoblade 3 and Xenoblade 1 just I LOVE MONOLITH SOFT

It's funny to think that Ghondor is unknowingly standing next to her greatgreat<unknown>great grandparents. Note that both Ghondor and Shania act very differently in the Japanese version. What we know is that the souls are not wasted, some might not be reborn in Z's world, but they DO return when the flow of time continues _(Joran returns)_ But what about all those new lives/souls not "Recorded in Origin" _(They probably come back as they die the same way as Mobius)_ Z's world is complete and over the top Totalitarian (Bleak looking). "A"s world is complete and over the top Totalitarian (Nice looking) A similar depiction is used in *Tales of Arise,* showing various forms of oppression, sometimes you don't know you're nothing but a slave to something. The problem I had with the story is that the Vandham bloodline comes from Nia's world. Not from Melia's world. It could just have been a name-drop. Some people think that THIS saga was actually a prequel to the other Xeno games. Which would make no sense because, for instance, in Chronicles 2 Klaus talks about that world, and "A" shows it in Future redeemed, and Chronicles X flees from that world.

your screams are ear piercing loud oh my god

1:06:12 *Noah twirling the flute with his fingers like a pencil in High school in the background* Come on come on comeon, can i toot yet?

1:20:16 “heteronormativity”? Care to elaborate?

I finished this game for the first time over a year ago now but I’m still learning new things - for example, N was always destined to lose M, as seen in these flashbacks. And he turned to the endless now to keep her. However, when M and Mio switch, and M is sent on instead of Mio, N again loses her. It shows that that was always his destiny, regardless of what path he would take.

Thank you for letting us be part of your journey through Aionios, loved the editing !

I can somewhat understand your comparison to capitalism in some of the cutscenes. But you can't really keep using that term without acknowledging that you are currently playing this piece of media through the means of capitalism(buying the game, playing on stream with the means of allowing people to pay you donations). It's the people that run the system that can be corrupt. Not the system itself.

You called flash fencer the "sword lesbian" class and yeah 1000%. I usually play mio as flash fencer and sometimws i put her and noah in the outfit so they match. Its such a clean outfit

This game is filled to the brim with meaning. And its message of hope and freedom is something that resonates with everyone. ❤️ Thanks for sharing your journey with us.

This is my favorite media franchise that I've ever come across in my three decades. I discovered Xenoblade Chronicles in 2015. I am not a JRPG player, I've tried some of the other big titles like Final Fantasy/Kingdom Hearts and they couldn't get through to me. Somehow this game did. It did in such a big way. It became a huge part of my worldview and my outlook of life going forward, it made me who I am today. I owe so much to this series for the adventure it took me on, and I've tried to repay it by sharing the artistry and emotion of Xenoblade with people around me. However, it is -such- an enormous undertaking to get through this series and reap the rewards waiting at the end of this long journey. It's not for everyone. My experience with Xenoblade has been something I've carried alone with me for almost a decade now, and I've really only been able to make the connection to others through streams like this. I have watched so many streamers and creators explore these games and uncover the magic within, and, Violet, I am -so- happy to have seen someone with such unbridled, unfiltered love for Xenoblade go through these titles and resonate with them and more importantly, SHARE THAT LOVE WITH THE WORLD. I've watched every episode and it has been such a catharsis to see your heart and soul pour out through these games. You can only experience these games for the first time once, and I'm not a streamer or anything, but I wish I could go back and see my first steps through these worlds again and relive those feelings outside of my memories. Watching your streams has been the closest I could come, and it brought me such a deep catharsis. So I wanted to tell you "thank you" for sharing this with everyone on the internet. Thank you so much. :)

7:30 "They can Stealth like that" - LOL yeah ... you know that since the beginning of the game , you just forgot since you have probably put about 50 hours in between. 21:25 "Recycled - This is Sinister" - Well its not that much different from how Blades in XC2 returned to their core crystal when their driver died and when re-awakened by a new driver they had their memories wiped. At least the Bionis in XC1 had the mercy to not recycle the same persons over and over again while feeding on them. XC3 just combines the feeding of life force from 1 with the recycle process from 2 while also limiting their life span , making this whole process 1000x times more brutal than in any of the previous games. Technically People in XCX did run out of time too , but thats a whole different story , it might still have served as the inspiration to limit the lifespan of the Characters in XC3. 22:00 "Original Model" - Close Enough , but actually , since you have already completed XC3 you know how it works and that there is no Original Model left only the data ... so funny enough it works just the same as it works in XCX. XC3 just calls it Origin , while XCX calls it the Life Hold. But in any case it just shows how XC3 truely finishes of the trilogy while also borrow / re-use concepts of XCX too.

3:27:23 REX!!! Way to go, my dude!

I'll be honest even before FR and the art book interview it takes a lot of reading into subtext to understand the story and especially the ending, but it *can* definitely be mostly understood just from playing the base game, it's just hard. If you still don't quite understand, I recommend Luxin's videos on the game, all of them tbh. The GOAT was getting things right before the art book, and FR confirmed them, and no one believed him, lol

23:04 "i love this writing" - Me too , i think the writing in all of the Xenoblade games is amazing. 1:13:00 "Exchange Flutes" - Damn even seeing the cut-scene for the third time , i still get all teary eyes.

21:23 "suicide" - Yeah lets all collectively commit Sudoku now , that surely would make the World a better place. 😬

20:48 "Your Journey may have started out of necessity , but now you`re pushing forwards towards a common goal" - Remembering when Alvis said in the Xenoblade 1 Ending how he can see it , all the people walking Hand in Hand towards the future. 23:27 "You will change the fate of others , just by virtue of coming into contact with them. It`s quite the burden. You may not want the responsibility" - Yeah you go girl , see , Sidequesting is bad. Cuz you may change the fate of the Characters involved. And thats quite the burden , not just for them cuz they have to adapt but also for you because you have to take responsibility and help them (its not just help once and abandon them) . Its funny how this holds true not just for Xenoblade 3 , but for 1 , Torna and X as well (not so much for Xenoblade 2 base game tho). Doing any Sidequest leads usually to more Sidequests and more Characters getting involved and needing help to adapt to their new situation. I wished more games would actually do this , it does not just give the Developers the opportunity to fill out the Lore and Worldbuilding better than anything , but in addition with the affinity chart it lets you also see first hand what impact your involvement has on others and how they struggle with their new situations and how their relationships change. (i guess its for me just another reason to s* on XC2 , its just the worst game in this series by being too differently build from all the others , and yeah XCX is different too but at least it is build with the same principals as the other games , you feel instantly at home with it) 1:13:25 .... Ethel + Gray Combat Styles are basicly split and tuned down versions of Elmas combat style from Xenoblade X I like the variety in XC3 and that it allows you to customize all party members so freely , XCX was very restricting in terms of options for Class / Combat Styles on each party member you had.

1:00:40 Ethel - "You even have the same type of weapon as Morag" - Nope , not even close ... Morag / Brighit used 2 Swords that extended into Whips and she was a Tank. - Ethel is clearly based on Elma from Xenoblade Chronicles X , not just her Dual Sword Style but her looks as well and even her personality , i guess you cant know that since you havent played Xenoblade X yet.

Sora didn’t cry, Roxas did 😔

FUTURE REDEEMED!

2:55:30 you skipped Lanz’s best line! Wow there’s so much in this game

Watching your playthrough has been amazing. My wife and I have watched every chapter together as soon as you upload them! We love how deeply you care about this world and its characters just like we do. Can’t wait for the DLC!

Watching this while driving was a mistake because I was bawling my eyes out during the Sena side story.

Just wanted to say I’ve watched each video of this series and your other Xenoblade series too. I’m so happy you enjoyed your time with it and Xenoblade as a whole!

When I first finished playing this game I also felt "incomplete". I knew I played a good game with a very powerful theme, but I wanted answers like something to link the previous two games to this game in a very fundamental way. In such a way, that would make me say "Yes, this is Xenoblade 3, the end of the Xenoblade trilogy". I mean seeing Melia and Nia and playing their side quests was a little snippit to that. In the end, it was the DLC that gave me the closure that I wanted since it provided me the answers I was looking for. Hopefully, you got that same/similar feeling after playing the DLC. :)

Another great video. Thanks for sharing

Thanks a lot for these videos, I love watching your reactions and we can see the work that goes behind. I'm juste sad I didn't get to see your reaction to Melia's XB1 flashback haha

3:27:16 Judging by your reaction, you haven't played XB2, or maybe you didn't like it? In both cases I recommend skipping the DLC.

3:25:16 I will always love that Eunie actually gives Taion the highest honor here, and he's just too much of a lovable idiot, and it goes right over his head ahahaha! For anyone that is confused - Eunie's whole thing is that she loves Fourtune Clovers. 4th is her #1 😜

3:11:12 Aahhhww the sheer excitement there 😁

3:04:17 Legendary dialogue be forever legendary

2:44:20 Bolearis Giga Chad Scene <3

2:36:14 NICE!

2:32:45 Confirmed, Ghondor is a "Space Quest" fan

Felicidades por haber terminado esta obra de arte, estuve viendo tu viaje desde tu primer video pero no solia comentar mucho jeje. Otra vez muchas felicidades 🎉

1:45:21 "So just let me exist in this moment" "Oh ye, who flows in the current..."

Shania's mother might just be the most despicable person in a Xenoblade game. Obviously, Dickson, Malos, and N did terrible things, but this woman literally neglected and belittled her own child just because she isn't like the rest of the family. What makes it so disgusting is how real it is, that people like her actually exist. There is no more fitting a person than her to call "Bitch."

1:26:22 Now say THIS line 10 times in a row fast :D

You can go back in and fight Gannon after you've clocked the game

1:11:11 Oh yeah, "Chain Attack" OST, always a good way to get out of a Life Crisis 😁

1:07:59 Man, the power of restraint Monica must posess in that very moment to NOT smack the shit out of her.....
