Meeting Queen Melia Xenoblade Chronicles 3

- Noah's Queen, and a main character in Xenoblade Chronicles 1, finally sits down and talks it out with the crew. By this point Nia told most of the expository stuff, so this is a fairly short and wholesome scene as a culmination of our efforts. And I'm happy to see one of the best characters from the original Xenoblade.

The difference between Melia and Nia cracks me up. Melia is everything you would imagine a queen would be. She wakes up all majestically, waxes eloquent about the nature of the world and its people, then announces she is off to liberate her castle before teleporting away in a flash of light. Nia... Nia does her best. Bless her.
Nia’s first words “bastard”
Yeah that sums up her characters
"I would think not. Might you have forgotten who I am?" the expression on her face says it all. If only they knew she fought God.
One of the most badass lines in all the XC saga
"I am Optimus Prime."
And an interdimentional intruder
They know infact in this new world melia and nia is a godlike being their self and has higher athorities than moebius himself
@@burnttofu9210 I was thinking the same
Melia's first words after her capture; "I...had a long dream..."
Nia's First Words after awakening; "That...Bastard, Struck me good he did"
It's weird when you remember what Melia looked like when the first Xenoblade released on the Wii, and now she's looking like _this_ all these years later. Talk about a major upgrade.
It helps if you played the definitive edition. Kinda blurs the line of the graphical quality the original had.
I play definitive instead of the original, it doesn't change that much for me
She looks absolutely stunning. One minor nitpick though, her wings are less detailed compared to how they looked in Definitive Edition.
Yeah, the Xenoblade 1 characters look way better in the Xenoblade 3 artstyle!😄
Glowup be real
The best part of seeing Nia and Melia again is seeing that neither of them have truly changed, they’re still the same lovable characters we met all those years ago
After Nia dropped her first line after waking up, I laughed and thought to myself "Never change Nia."
She looks so refined and elegant. Then you realize this is the same girl that never discharged her elementals, always forgets to stab before kicking, and leaked the game and her being in it 8 months before reveal.
Getting Friendzone by Shulk make her what she is now
@@edbertextreme so true 👍
Can you explain that last one?
@@edbertextreme well being “friend zoned” would have meant that she had to have admitted her feelings to him but as far as I remember she never tells him her feelings and accepts that her feelings are unrequited as Shulk very obviously loved Fiora and that was apparent when they were reunited again.
I think being at peace with that fact as well as becoming more confident in herself and accepting that she’s now the queen and is responsible for her people helped her become this way.
*Raise your hands if you thought that they were gonna explain that little nod Melia and Riku had with one another*
🙋🏿♂️
Have a feeling it implies Riku's masterpon who entrusted Lucky Seven to him is none other than Melia herself.
@@ampkenryu7145 nah i guarantee riku is lying and hes actually ontos
@@silentlore2458 I thought Alvis was Ontos?
@@ampkenryu7145
How? Wasn’t melia imprisoned long before Riku was born?
The literal definition of “Aged like wine”.
Like, omg she looks so _pretty_ in this game
Goddamnn Melia design is so much better than the original. She's freakin beautiful.
It’s normal ! Because of her long life she became a woman, at the time of Xenoblade 1 she was still a teenager !
@@sound-karden7402 I'd say it's the opposite of normal. Beauty tends to fade with age, not the other way around.
Well put
@@shaifs5072 It's like that for teen-age years though. How many people do you know that looks better as a teen than in their 20s?
@@acat5104 a lot. Your metabolism slows down in your 20s.
I'm glad that Jenna Coleman returned to play Melia
If she didn't, we wouldn't have known that 3 was directly tying 1 and 2 before it was announced
She’s so good 😭🥺🥳
Yeah she’s back in black
I had no doubt about it, to be honest. XC Voice actors have never had any issue with returning for projects, even with Futures Connected. Jenna's natural voice being more mature now works especially well for this appearance.
@@ProfessorHeavy1 Yeah but she's had quite a lot of success since the first game, she could have been too expensive, or just thought herself as being above it now.
These british VAs make everything sounds and feel so posh and lush. I'm digging it.
Xenoblade 1 was the first game I remember with British VAs and at the time I didn’t even realise Jenna Coleman was melia even though she was in doctor who at a similar time, as a Brit myself I love the odd swear word and saying, such as when they say bollocks etc lol
@Heavy Metal Pulp peng on a levnis. You're a sparking mudder in a party aren't you? 🙄
@Heavy Metal Pulp Pretty sure Eunie is based upon Essex, so it depends at times which is preferable 🤣
@Heavy Metal Pulp oh gosh, fair enough then 🤣
You're really feeling it?
I'm surprised none of you noticed that Melias weapon is her World Ender staff from FC but upgraded
What is interesting is that the fake Queen used the Imperial Staff, which seems to be the High Entia version of a crown to show her fake power and postion.
While the real Melia uses the World Ender, a weapon made by her beloved friends to show what she actually cares about
4:30 That reading had no right being as perfect and smooth as it was.
4:30
"Your Majesty, shall we escort you to safety?"
"lol no, bye bitches!" **poof**
Eunie: That was the most beautiful thing I had ever witnessed!
Melia has become so sparking beautiful and it makes me so happy seeing her and Nia again.
the Eryth Sea and Alcamoth remix makes these scenes hit so much harder
Melia is a very classy bird lady =3
Also her theme appears to be a subtle remix of Eyrth Sea XD
Her theme also has Memory's End / Zanza the Divine in it!
There's a chance Riku was once one of Melia's closest friends and knights. He kinda gives off that expression of being a mentor/father figure to the heroes, and his knowledge of the Sword of the End was amazing, why he had it, and how he was as he was, most of him was a mystery, but he remains one of the greatest heroes in the story.
I hope the dlc can clear that up, unlikely but not impossible
@@eggy7346 The DLC is out and we all know the answer now
Wow she looks like a real queen
I cried when i heard my favorite song from XC1 become her theme. Eryth Sea 🥰🥰
Loving the full "Goth Goddess" vibe
Melia just became the Zelda of the story.
Melia: I had a long dream
Nia: *that bastard...!*
Literal twins amirite
Melia looks so good this game omg, her glow up looks so good. Tbh her appearance in the first game felt like she looked both young and old at the same time. I think her future connected design fixed it up a lot too but not as good as this.
But also it’s disappointing that again she still doesn’t get a good future, she’s instead held prisoner for a thousand years. And to top it off she gets barely any screen time in the ending, she has a conversation with the party then dips out to save the castle. She was talked about so much the whole game and was usually the only queen that the party talked about until after they discovered that the “queen” was a robot and when they went to the city bc Nia was the one who sealed herself away before giving a key to someone. I’m glad Nia was safe but why does Melia keep getting the short end of the stick. Nia seemed to be the one who had all the information about origin and the key to numerous things. Is it bc Agnians are much stronger and Nia esp was a power beyond Moebius’s reach that they could never capture her and why she eluded them? I know she had a place that could go invisible but there were times she wasn’t on it that Moebius could appear out of nowhere? Maybe I’m forgetting something, I did enjoy this game but it just felt too rushed and the story could have done with way more chapters and being cooked a bit longer. While yes what we have here is a good story at the same time it feels like it’s missing a lot of information.
But anyway, it’s upsetting that yet again Melia just can’t seem to catch a break. She couldn’t speak up and admit her feelings for someone and in the end accept her peace with it and is happy for Fiora and Shulk which good for her. But the main story for XC1 once she’s introduced is just one bad hand after another for her with watching her dad die, as well as all the telethia business and watching her brother turn into one.
Future connected was a good story and set up Melia for a better path and gave a bit of hope for the future. The XC3 happens and for 95% of the story she’s a prisoner and barely has any voice lines. I mean I guess it makes sense to trap her in a place that’s almost impossible to access.
Don’t get me wrong I’m really glad Nia got such a decent role in the story even though for the majority of the game she was never discussed until it was discovered that the “queen” was really a robot. I’m glad we got to rescue her and that she got to tell us about what happened, Nia’s such a good character and I’m really happy she was the Agnian queen even though the role doesn’t suit her personality.
Melia’s also one of my favourite characters though as she was who kept me focused on the main game bc I struggled so hard to get into the first game bc the chapters before she’s an official party member are so boring, it took me 2 years to get through it but once she was in my party she was the only character keeping me invested bc I kept hoping that maybe something good would happen for her but it never does. I feel so bad for Melia, the poor woman just can’t seem to get a better hand dealt in life lmao.
At least Nia got a good ending after xc2, her feelings were requited in the end lol.
we know who she is and that is the slayer of superbosses
I can't believe Shulk friendzoned her
He was in love with Fiora. Melia didn't had a chance.
Unlike Rex, Shulk had eyes for one girl
@@saltmines5761 ha 😂 I see what you did there
Unlike Shulk, Rex took action😏
Rex really showed em a thing or three
4:57 Every Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Player after what Melia just said and did
Well at that’s something surprising 😅😏 I Hope 😂😂😂 but it’s not funny tho but I’m glad that Melia she’s definitely hear In Xenoblade™️ 3 and I saw the Voice Actress for Melia explaining this that she’ll be back into this game In Xenoblade Chronicles™️ 3.
Huh? Melly was already my queen in xenoblade 1. Melia Best Girl!
My god, she is so majestic. I love her
Idk why but somehow Melia's face in this game actually reminds me of Jenna Coleman
Got to this part last night, wanted to come and just comment on how absolutely beautiful Melia has become.
She’s been a complete stunner in every appearance
Clara Oswald's best incarnation
‘Simulacrum’ is referring to her robot, by the way.
But honestly when I first played I thought simulacrum was a fancy word for the mind's eye, like the one where if you don't aphantasia can think images.
But I guess it is Melia's tradition to have such confusing words that either the subtitler forgot the difference between “choose” and “select” back in Xenoblade 1. That, or subtitles were already inserted and Jenna Coleman misread, but this wasn't fixed in DE either way.
4:51 Who the spark is Riku. I'm going to assume he's the nopon sage in disguise because that'd be funny
After fr. I can't believe it was that simple
The fact that Noah even flat out asks him this and we get no answer says a lot
Riku is an enigma. Unlike past Nopon protagonists, the guy is wiser than he looks.
@@manuelalbertoromero9528 actually, the thing about nopons is that they're basically equal in intelligence to homs, both emotionally and mentally. So by default, all nopon are wiser than they look
riku is riku, common variety nopon
hes xc 3- s Master Yoda ^^
4:47 I’m really suspicious now. Who is this Nopon?
"Just your average local variety Nopon!"
Melia is that really you
Kinda wish you didnt put the spoiler in the title of the video this early after the games release. Pretty much figured this was the case but with Xenoblade having some amazing twists it does suck to get them spoiled like this.
Melia keeps being stunning in every appearance huh
I never knew before that Melia was played by Jenna Coleman(who’s known for playing Clara Oswald from Doctor Who)!😄🤩😎👌
THE DLC BETTER EXPLAIN RIKU DAMMIT!!
(....Because he's my absolute favourite.)
THEY DID IT !!!!
wow melia we meet again
Are there any Shulk references or straight up references to the first game
it shows rex in an image, but I wonder if shulk gets showed or mentioned at all🤔
@@WindyWooshes They have the replica monado from XC:DE FC framed up in Melos’s office as well
There is a flashback to xc1
@@Xenosaga it was great to see that in her quest
You guys really gonna ignore his Founder statue huh
“I WILL NOT LET THE THRONE BE SULLIED”
"A FILTHY HOMS HALF-BREED HAS NO RIGHT TO THE THRONE"
Melia a looker 👀
Does this scene makes it in the top 10 xenoblade chronicles cut scenes
What was that nod Riku gave Melia. Just who the hell is this guy.
Alvis.
Just a common variety Nopon.
@@1Thunderfire Eunie: "UPBEAT AND INNOCENT, HUH?" *Stare of Death towards Riku intensifies*
He knew Melia before she was captured 1000 years ago.
Jenna Coleman's voice is magnificent!
Both Melia and Nia's more grown up looking designs in Xeno 3 are sooo damn beautiful and I loved hearing the original VAs returning, especially famed UK actress Jenna Coleman :-)
she DOES sound like a queen
She’s really pretty…wow
Her Name is Zelda
Whoa, check out Melia
Um, is it me, or does Melia's cell(?) look like Lavos from Chrono Trigger? I know that sounds random but, if you look at it at the start of the video, it does bear a resemblance to the parasite.
Most likely a coincidence, but I thought I'd point it out.
Best Waifu
My man!
All hail Queen Melia!
Sena: "Oh, uh, will you need an escort...?"
Melia: **grins** "You kidding me? Just who the hell do you think I am?!"
melia have 3 child:
ethel, noah, and eunie
Her name is Fernanda
I keep imagining Melia returning to her castle being like Big weld from Robots returning to his company.
I didn’t like Xenoblade Chronicles 1 from a gameplay standpoint…like at all, but the story and characters kept me going through the entire experience so even I cracked a smile seeing Melia again!
Z
Ngl I’m loving Melia’s hair in 3!
Melia hasn’t showered for thousands of years imagine the feet smell
Well , at least she didn't slap anyone this time
You know who are you talking to?
Im the queen betch kekaww
Why do they all gasp one after the other omfg
Why did she look at Riku?
It’s been a while since I played the first xenoblade, but if you bought the definitive edition, there’s a short separate game after the main story about Melia. In that game, you party with Shulk, Riku, and his sister
@@liznguyen4132 That’s Kino not Riku
Kino is Riki’s adopted son
Oh lol nvm then haha 😂
Riku and Riki, why no one think it's not coincidence lol... It's not mentioned, but huge chance that Riku is Son/Grandson from him...
Riku did bring that sword... he is sus
they keep screwing her character over... smh
The moment I realised that Melia, before she had started to teleport back to the castle, and Riko traded nods, I knew that Riko isn't just a regular nopon. There is a secret hidden within Riko. Perhaps Alvis had disguised as a nopon after XB1 (and XB2 because they happen at the same time).
Judging by the DLC4 trailer, Rex and Shulk beat Alvis and turn him into a Nopon /j
Riku*
i wonder how much time passed between xenoblade 1/2 & 3 in the end credits in the picture Nia had it looked like a few years at least so i wonder where Rex, shulk and the other were? were they still alive somewhere and were just frozen or since both Nia and Melia have longer lifespans then the others did they pass away already but if so where is dromarch?
4:46 The F was that about?
pon fantasy
It’s too bad they barely explain anything about the story.
As I uavent played it I have two questions is shulk alive and or in this game.... And how many years after 1-2 is this
He's not, lines imply this world has been around for centuries, it merged together sometime within a hundred years since Tohra was still around to construct something for when the worlds fused
In one cutscene, it's shown this timeline has been around for over a thousand years, so shulk/rex are long gone
How can you play Xenoblade 3 already it's not even out yet
Some people are getting their copies early
It also leaked online like a week ago
Exactly people are posting new leaks that’s why I don’t want to see it but I already know how they’ll plan this out I hate Fans how they’ll post it I wonder if Nintendo is seeing this right now, What do you guys think? @JordanDubZ and @Pokeleo Antiqua I’m asking a question do you believe that Nintendo will block/delete the videos from Xenoblade Fans.
@@rowanprogamer9023 They’ve already deleted a lot of videos
@Pokeleo Antiqua Right, I’m totally correct they are going to delete these videos it’s because they spoiling them In Xenoblade Chronicles™️ 3.
There are people who have already emulated the entire game, unfortunately to stamp spoilers on the thumbnails.
Bird lady
XBC3 connects XBC, XBCX and XBC2?
1 and 2 yes, but not X. Atleast not yet anyway, who knows. Maybe the DLC story could.
Shulk must be turning in his grave after having wasted what Melia felt for him.
Fiora looks a bit better
She had a crush. It wasn't anything like what Shulk had for Fiora. And Melia had come to accept it. Which is part of what led to her becoming the wise ruler you see here.
And people were idiot's thinking Nia was in the game.
*LOL* don't you feel stupid now.
she is in the game though
@@perrynotplatypus7869 but least she's the only one, not Luke we have the likes of Rex nd Pyra in the game.
Which thank fk they aren't
@@Yusei255 well rex, pyra, mythra and the rest of the XC2 cast appears, just in a picture
Nia is in the game though....🧐
@@Coleecool I suspect English isn't this person's first language. The point he's trying to get across is probably getting confused. If I had to guess, I think he meant people thought *only* Nia was in this game.
hey she even predicted Putin :p (about 1:35... fight Z, yadda yadda) 😅
that staff/spear looks awfully a lot like the primordial jade winged spear from genshin
Well her staff came first
It's the ultimate weapon for her from Xenoblade Chronicles 1, which came out 2010 in JP and 2011 for the rest of the world, way before Genshin ever was a thing
piss of with your gay ass genshin shit, more like jade winged spear's design is stolen from Melia's staff lool
This dialogue is just weird tbh
She don't look like melia the prefer the old one
I mean, it has been several centuries if not millennia. She was bound to look different lol
@@davidmaxwell4696 but why is her hair color different
@@ericx6969 Looks about the same to me, albeit much longer. Could be the lighting or something
This design is more like Xenoblade 2 art style. Nia is really not changed so much so it's really the art style...
@@ericx6969 it's the same color, what're you on about?
this game's writing is so bad lmao. why did they make her spout horrid lines like 'there is some morebius within you too' and 'everything that exists is reality'. melia is not some stuck up ethereal princess, i dont understand how they allowed nia to go back to her normal self (i dont even get why she was all queen-y in the first place) when melia is stuck with bs anime philosophy reciting.
Nah
It seems that you just didn’t understand that all she means is that the fear of change is innate in everyone. Melia is quite similar to how she was by the end of future connected honestly, she just knows how to act like an empress when she needs to, though she does later show that she’d much rather be treated like everyone else and have connections with others
