  • Finding both a title and a thumbnail for this upload took me a while of thinking since I do not want to immediately spoil the massive plot point this shows.
    So to the surprise of literally no one, Mio didn't REALLY die, M is in fact Mio, N is in fact Noah, and good god did Noah do some serious atrocities just to keep his waifu. The rest speaks for itself really.

    This scene is wild if you look at it from the perspective of one of the faceless Agnus soldiers in the crowd.
    The top Consuls plan an execution of traitors, so you go to watch. First one goes as intended, then one of the consuls talks to another prisoner. Then another consul goes to talk to the prisoner too, but for some reason, this confuses the heck out of the first consul, who goes batshit insane. Then the other prisoners yeet their restraints, go turn into giant robots along with the second consul, and proceed to beat the crap out of the first consul. Eventually rhe fight dies down, but they keep having this weird argument you have no idea the context for. Finally, to cap it all off, your Queen goes nuts and starts firing in the crowd for some reason, so you GTFO.
    I have no idea how the average Agnus soldier would begin to comprehend that day's events.

I'd even add a bit of Egil into N's mix, if mainly for the golden armor making me think of Yaldaboath in contrast to M's silver armor making me think of Face Nemesis. M definitely is the Meyneth to Mio's Fiora.

      "Hey let's write a story where you play as some odd clone/reincarnation of one of the antagonists. Then have the clone protagonist cuck his evil half. By revealing that the antagonist's girl was so sick of how he ran things. That she swapped places with the clone's girl set to die. And make it so that the antagonist forced the clone to watch his girl die. Only for the antagonist girl to reveal she was really was the clone girl. And have the antagonist girl walk up and hold the clone's hands. While the antagonist just gives a dumbfounded face as he realizes he was just cucked by a version of himself."

    Love how Torna basically foreshadowed the entire theme and setting of the game.
    I mean even the credit's song was called "A Moment of Eternity", and was about Jin being able to smile one last time, even without Lora. Xenoblade 3 is quite literally a moment of eternity. The Endbringer acts like a homage to Jin's abilities as well.

While Jin never got the opportunity to “retry” his time with Lora and N did, I’m glad they noticed the similarities in the writing and gave Noah homage to his move set. My goat lives on.

    After seeing all this, you know what N is? A hypocrite. You know why, because he sacrificed everything and everyone he knew and loved, just to be with his Mio. But when Noah, our Noah, tries to do all he can to be with our Mio, what does N do? He gloats and brags it's all pointless for them, that Mio is going to die and Noah can do nothing about it. What's worse, he tried to make his own other self to send off his Mio, and he did it like it was the most hilarious thing in the whole world. And when M died to save Mio, he acts like HE'S in the right to be angry, and then acting like M was a possession rather than a person, which is one of many reasons why she left him in the first place! After all N did, and then making fun of Noah for his efforts, makes him a GIANT hypocrite.

      Not really, yeah N is a hypocrite but that's not his reasoning. N does shit to Noah because he wants to make himself suffer for trying to do something he couldn't do. He wants to put Noah in the darkest depths of despair because he believes that he's always fated to fail while trying to save mio. To N, it's incredibly hilarious to see someone struggle for something theoretically impossible and he wanted himself to suffer for it. Noah is his repentance but N tries to hide the fact that he regrets what he did.

      My interpretation was N *had* to do all of those things to current Noah. To prove he made the right choice. That abandoning everything he ever stood for, everyone else he knew and loved, for the sake of being with Mio forever, removed from the cycle of death and war and able to live a life of safety and "peace" was the right choice. The only choice.
      His cruelty to current Noah and Mio is one part desperate self-affirmation, one part self loathing/a desire to punish himself for being a selfish coward, and one part anger at being reminded he once had the courage and strength of character to stand up to the Moebius.

    • @phatnguyen7220
      @phatnguyen7220 ปีที่แล้ว +15

      This question lies on how Noah and Mio can keep reincarnate even when M and N still exist. Mio is an embodiment of M's hope of how the world should be, while Noah is an embodiment of how N himself should have been. N made his decision and got what he wanted at the cost of destroying and betrayed everything and everyone he knew and created. But deep down, he knows it is never been what M nor he would want. The true reason behind N action was to proof that he was right and had no other choice, that is Noah will never be able to save Mio, since that is something he has tried so many times, and the only rightful option was to take the path as he have done.
      N was right, for his love ones, that is the only decision that he can only take in this shitty world and Noah agreed that he would simply done the same for Mio, the only difference between N and Noah is that Noah was simply luckier because he still have his friends, which convince him to still pursuit his true goal and also Mio's wish, even when it cost him the love of his life, even when he have to go alone.
      N believes what he done is right, but deep down he knows it wrong. That is why he want Noah to fail, to feel exactly like what he have felt in the past, because if Noah could done something that he couldn't, then what worth those sacrifices be?

    This scene, N's acting in particular, gave me real Anakin Skywalker vibes. His screaming, cursing, "You have stolen her away from me! I will extinguish you, and take her back! Mio is MINE!" reminds me heavily of Anakin yelling at Obi-Wan. "You turned her against me!...You will not take her from me!" And later, "Now, you will continue to exist as Moebius," connects well with "Love won't save you, Padmé. Only my new powers can do that." Even Z turning N loose against the City parallels Anakin's betrayal and extermination of the Jedi. N wasn't the Chosen One, but he fell from grace for the same reason as Anakin: their love twisted and turned to grief and fear of loss. I think N's fall is told much better than Anakin's, though.

      It helps that in the case of Noah and Mio, they are stuck in a perpetual cycle of meeting, falling in love only for Mio to die before Noah. And Z manipulated Noah by showing him the agony he had to keep going through over and over again and again wherein he has to watch the love of his life die before him. And since becoming Moebius basically makes you relive all your past lives/deaths in an instant, you can imagine that the grief he endured basically broke him and made him into what he is now as N.

      both methods she KNOWS that N would never allow to happen to her if he could help it.

    this was an amazing twist and it was easily hinted at the game.

      While I do like how the twist recontextualizes the M fight and prison scene, I feel it ruins the scene itself.
      I liked that for once Monolith seemed to actually be killing off a main protagonist, it hurt a lot obviously but I thought finally they’d break out of the cycle of “haha gotcha the main love interest actually survived!” (Looking at you, Seven), but after the cutscene it really ruined the prior cutscenes for me : it was never Mio, those comforting words in the Prison Scene weren’t Mio’s, and while they do have a double meaning it still isn’t as impactful as the whole cutscene on first watch.
      The cutscene is still great, just kind of dropped the ball for me

It's actually very smart and pretty good way of world building for them to instead use Swear that relate to their lifespan, flames, and death, because to them that's kinda the crudest thing they can use.

      I believe it's directly stated that for this portion specifically, Mio had access to M's powers as Moebius. But immediately following this, it's taken away by Z. She remains half Moebius half Ouroborus by virtue of being in M's body, but without the power of Moebius. Which sort of makes it irrelevant.
      Spoilers for final boss
      Z is able to seal their power again because Mio no longer had power as Moebius, but also because that power stemmed directly from him and not the orb on X's staff.

      I think the wave of memories only happens the first time either one of the pair interlink. After that, it seems to be a choice on what they share. By letting noah the take the lead, he'd be too busy focusing elsewhere to pay full attention inward. Brief swaps to let her lead in the fight doesn't give him the time to notice anything.

      no, they didn't, cause of several things

      2. none of the Moebius consuls show any ability to have sex or even DESIRE to have it.
      3. N definitely isn't interested in having kids again after what happened with his son (as elaborated on in Future Redeemed), especially since any child he and M have will just die of old age while they stay immortal.
      4. by the time of the main game, N treats M more like a doll or trophy wife than a person (metaphorically shown with M in Mio's body being in an inescapable prison cell completely alone and unable to kill herself since death is an escape) and is deluded that M is actually HAPPY with being Moebius despite that she's the only one among their ranks who was outright drafted against her will.
