at 12:10 the text on Kos-Mos's abdomen can be made out form the Alrest Records artbook, it reads " Code Name:KP-X selial No.0000000000000001.2 Human type body ver.6.02.493d built XXXX- Meister:Shion Uzuki,Allen Ridgely"
Still suprised how I managed to find that. You'd never ever see it normally, simply because of how small of a detail it is. Quite proud of this find haha
I can't believe Rex was in that Leftheria title screen all along, it's just like seeing Gramps in Rex's dad's cutscene and Alvis and Lorithia in the disciple Dickson one
Wow so Rex's parents were from Tantal all this time, that's wild. Like I know where weren't from Leftheria but it's nice having confirmation either way. Also Morytha actually blew me away with how much you don't see, wish we were able to go more places.
Tantalese character models were used as placeholders for Tornans in the unfinished Torna scenes seen in the main story of XC2. Thus, his parents could've also been descended from Tornans, (have Tornan blood) and been from somewhere else in Leftheria, or from Tantal. We don't really know, unfortunately. But it's generally agreed that his parents were definitely Tornan, and likely from somewhere else in Leftheria that we never get to see in-game or anywhere else, ever. Thus, this allows for Rex to potentially be Addam's descendant, and Zeke's long lost extremely distant cousin!
Xenoblade 2 is possibly my favourite game ever, so being able to appreciate it from all these new angles was an amazing experience! I didn't know about the title screens being fully rendered behind the blur, but the coolest thing to me were the formerly moving gates behind the Trinity Processor. And the typo on KOS-MOS Re:'s iris was hilarious! On another note, these games aren't weeb trash, but Takahashi is a massive otaku and so are many of the people behind the games (just read the development team's comments in Xenogears Perfect Works). I don't know if that would make them "weeb", but it wouldn't make them trash at all regardless. By the way, there's a Xenogears map and model viewer, so you might want to check it out if you haven't already. Anyway, I love genuine Xenoblade 2 love so thank you for this out-of-bounds showcase!
I've gotten over 2h of footage. During editing I tried to include as much as possible in as little time as possible. Sometimes feeling like I would rush through it a bit too fast, while also trying to make it still entertaining. And I still ended up with 30 minutes haha. The longest one out of the 5. Glad to hear that you enjoyed it! :)
Feel free to let me know if I missed something! Also, I took a closer look into some models in blender... which I'm currently trying to get into. For future videos that is. As overwhelming as it was, atleast I could see that the textures... are just as low-rez as they are on the switch. Who knew haha. Just for some of you that may be curious. Hope you guys enjoy(ed) the video!
Watching this... perhaps its too much work, but I'd love it if you made overview/overworld videos like XB1 and XBX had in the title screen in-between the main menu. They stopped doing them after XB2 and I really enjoyed them, with the main theme playing on the background. Keep up with the videos!
@@SparksOpusI REALLY did!! But, the Xenoblade games being Xenoblade games, there's so much more to see, and thus a lot more that i'd want to see. This might seem greedy or something, but could you please consider making a part 2 of this particular episode, and maybe (preferably for me and other viewers at least) a part 2 for at least the other 2 main games of the series, XC1 & XC3?? If you did, it'd be nice if you made a community post (or multiple posts, 1 for each game) beforehand, asking us what other things we'd want to be shown off in a part 2 video for each game.
The comments exist for that exact reason. Which is also the reason that the Xenoblade 3 OoB bonus short exists. There is honestly no point for a part 2 full on video. Everything that is worth showing, is shown here. Most other things aren't worth it. I could show you the whole over 2h raw footage that I recorded, but that would be boring to watch. And I also always mentioned that if I missed something, let me know in the comments. I also created a place for discussion on discord for that and haven't gotten a single response after multiple weeks. And also this video right here... after 2 minutes, 50% of the people clicked already away. And at the middle of the video, only 30% of the viewers are left. Most people don't exactly care about these videos. Or don't find them interesting. So there's also the question if it's worth the effort and time, because those videos consume quite a bit of my time. TLDR: If you have something I missed, mention it in a comment. If enough things gathered, I'll make a short out of it. But making a full on part 2, is simply not worth it. That's simply how it is, sorry.
someone has exported some of the xenoblade maps onto vrchat so i've been exploring some of them through that, it's kinda interesting though seeing more out of bounds stuff
it is so fascinating seeing some of the stuff that you never get to see, how much detail they put into the land of morytha and the city at the end of future redeemed
6:58 for some reason i think i revived this joke (most likely not the case),i said that i still believed that the nopon were the zonai At 27:20 you can see the detail they added from future redeemed so most likely they grabbed the detail from malos' core crystal,also,in some scenes you can see it on pneuma's core crystal
That corridor found behind the door leading to the Trinity is likely used during the cutscenes when Amalthus stole the Logos and Pneuma cores. Not sure what the black box would be.
@@Fermin-hw5pd so the connection with Tantal is real according to Zeke because the royal family are descendants of Addam’s uncle that escaped Torna’s destruction. With Rex, I’m not sure if he’s directly descended from Addam but there’s a definite blood tie.
Has anyone else ever jumped off the main platform in the Land of the Challenge area and jumped around on the outer pillars and architecture? You can get pretty far out, I love doing that.
@@SparksOpus he wishes for something he won’t get- unfortunately they didn’t model anything past where you’re supposed to see in that scene. terrible shame.
@@catalyst539 Not quite. They're fully modeled but lacking certain chest related anatomy (like Nia's core crystal) and they have a black texture wrapped around their waists. th-cam.com/video/POnbi448tM0/w-d-xo.htmlsi=wo6xEcbjtKFC_LUd&t=2301 Sure it's nothing X-rated but I don't blame him for not showing it off.
What about the cutscenes of Amalthus as a child? If Temperantia was indeed canonically one of the three titans killed in the Aegis War (along with Coeia and Torna), but just floating dead on the water's surface, then it implies Amalthus might've been alive when Temperantia was killed. I actually wonder if he was *from* Temperantia, and it could've been forested at one time, like in his childhood cutscenes. Because I somehow doubt he and his mother were running for their lives on the Indol titan itself.
And this is the reason why I think 2 is superior than 3. The world is just magical. The detail of every location. Forget the gacha mechanics and everyone's weird obsession on complaining about the anime girl characters. It's all about the world.
let me just ruin it for you, they probably didn’t even model everything because that takes too much work for something no one will ever see, and how horny do you think they are… oh wait, we’re talking about xenoblade 2 i forgot
@@SparksOpus speaking of the way nopon speak, have you ever noticed that the way they talk is as if they were directly translating french or german. like the way the words are structured is very germanic/romanic language esque and adds a lot of depth to a seemingly simple gag
Tbh, now that you're mentioning it... I can see where you're coming from. Considering also how much german stuff is thrown into the Xeno-games in general. Who knows, maybe there's some massive lore-drop incomming regarding that in the future haha
Hey, great video, it really changed my view on the titens specifically. I'm obviously not knowing how you make these videos and the limitations so well if you can't you can't but I'd have preferred if you included a round view from the distance on the titens as you partally did, for example to better see the lay out of mor ardains shoulder especially since your zooming around and cuts sometimes are quite disorienting, at least for me. Especially the "look at how his arm looks ripped off" was very confusing since you started pretty up close. Generally your relatively many cuts sadly makes it feel more like an "best of my out of bounds discoveries" than taking the viewer on a journey, so maybe longer scenes would be an improvement, giving the viewer a chance to discover in the moving picture, at least for the wide shots at the beginning before you delve deeper in specific things. My suggestion would be 1. Wide lingering slow shot of area. 2. Fastershots of Interesting sighs of said area. (Best keep the tempo you currently have for everything here 3. Repeat. I hope you take this well, as it's just a suggestion from a viewer with no experience in what you are doing and it's still an amazing video ^^
Is just 3d assets model to fit the black and white cutscenes, gray cutscenes pretty much resemble past. Monolith re using assets fully aware that this camera angles are meant to be hidden.
@@Magic0YT I think you're probably right, but I think it's also possible they made Rex's mother a redhead on purpose. I've heard that in the Japanese text Corrine says that Pyra looks like Rex's mother.
"There is no Aegis Core Crystal on Malos." *Proceeds to zoom in on his--* SIR, I DON'T THINK IT'S THERE EITHER.

Xenoblade 2 confirmed best of the trilogy for technically having Allen in it
The most respect Allen will ever receive
I did not expect there to be secret text on KOS-MOS's eyes. That isa wonderful little easter egg.
Still suprised how I managed to find that. You'd never ever see it normally, simply because of how small of a detail it is. Quite proud of this find haha
I can't believe Rex was in that Leftheria title screen all along, it's just like seeing Gramps in Rex's dad's cutscene and Alvis and Lorithia in the disciple Dickson one
it's utterly insane to me that this game is almost 7 years old. time has swept me up.

Weirdly enough, baby Rex uses an Ardainian child's model instead of a Tantal model like his parents.
9:09 that’s such a beautiful scene you just made, i love it
20:06 Isnt that the door that opens in front of Amalthus in the flashback cutscene? So they do make use of the fact that it can open and close

Thank you for the shout out!
Ayy, sure thing :) The episode was possible thanks to you in the first place, so thanks again!
Amazing video! Seeing Elysium close up was mind blowing
19:36 those texts actually refered to the book of proverbs from the Bible.

17:36 Elysium being a wasteland hurts even more when you can see just how massive the place truly is compared to what you can see in the game
Your shots were indeed beautiful. Would love to see more. Think my favorite is leftheria at 10:30
it is so fascinating seeing some of the stuff that you never get to see, how much detail they put into the land of morytha and the city at the end of future redeemed
Thank you so much for showing Torna's corpse. I had been wondering for *ages* just which direction it was lying, and I finally have my answer.
6:58 for some reason i think i revived this joke (most likely not the case),i said that i still believed that the nopon were the zonai
At 27:20 you can see the detail they added from future redeemed so most likely they grabbed the detail from malos' core crystal,also,in some scenes you can see it on pneuma's core crystal
I'm like you, I do prefer the brittish version
All the accents add to the charm❤
That corridor found behind the door leading to the Trinity is likely used during the cutscenes when Amalthus stole the Logos and Pneuma cores. Not sure what the black box would be.
the british voice acting is what makes the series its something unique and special
I absolutely love this video, this is all i've ever wanted. absolutely love how you explain everything man
Wait...so if Rex's father was from Tantal, then he ACTUALLY IS related to Addam. YYOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
i mean it was already kinda eluded to with malos pointing out the golden eyes
But they said Tantal's connection with Addam is fake right
@@Fermin-hw5pd so the connection with Tantal is real according to Zeke because the royal family are descendants of Addam’s uncle that escaped Torna’s destruction. With Rex, I’m not sure if he’s directly descended from Addam but there’s a definite blood tie.
I believe T-elos has a vector logo on her gun too
This was fantastic, thank you for doing this video!!!!
Gorgeous game, never seen anything like this ever
Has anyone else ever jumped off the main platform in the Land of the Challenge area and jumped around on the outer pillars and architecture? You can get pretty far out, I love doing that.
the lil cinematic moment made me tear up 🥺
Question, is the ending pre rendered? If not, it would be awesome to see the sea with all of those titan corpses of the new land
I think I mentioned it in the video, but yes. It is.
PLEASE show the Aion, the model actually has a face under it's mask, someone finally uploaded the model on Source and iw as able to see it
I'll probably turn some of the things I missed into a short, just like with the video for 3. I'll check it out dw :)

11:39 this room can be found in the main game iirc only from ch 6 till 9
