The fact that you can make a two-hour long analysis video off a three-minute trailer just shows how insanely dense with information that trailer was.
and how much overanalyzing astrophysicists are able to do
@@liammckinney5218 Both of these haha
We always meme about “gee luxin is going to make an hour analysis about this trailer” but he does it every time.
One day he's gonna hit us with just a 10 minute vid on a trailer, and it will feel like a betrayal
And i love him for it
@@fiercezeldagirlbtw5103 Yeah
I'm half expecting a 5 hour video if they do a "Xenoblade 3 Direct," like they did with XCX and XC2.
@@MikeSharpeWriter can’t wait for that
There it is! Out of all the Xenoblade TH-camrs that are covering/analyzing, you’re the one I look most forward to when it comes to in depth analyses regarding the Xeno’ franchise!
Same
Without a doubt.
Yeah i'd prefer his over the others.
Especially over Enel's dumbass.

I think it would be really fun if Riku and Manana had an artificial Oroborous form a la Poppi. Maybe it could be a crude wooden mech or something.
Barely held together with duct tape and prayer
There's nothing saying they can't have an "interlink" that's literally just them standing on top of each other.
Two Nopon in a trench coat
Okay but no oversexualisation please.
This thread is everything I've ever wanted
Something really important about the name Ferronis is that Ferrum doesn't just mean "iron" in Latin. In Roman literature the word ferrum was extremely (like really really extremely) often used as a metaphor for sword... as in, blade. I think the Ferronis' things might very well be the "strange blades" of this game
You know... If Lanz WAS very literally "just Reyn in a metal suit" I would sort of be down for that. We're all expecting Melia and Nia to be the surprise guest returning characters, but the greatest misdirect ever would be to just have Reyn, the best character, be there from the start with some tin foil glued to his body.
It would be so funny if Reyn just yelled "ALLEY OOP" and took off the armor
The Zeke and Reyn crossover we’ve all been waiting for.
A couple stray thoughts:
Riku has a gun. I repeat, the Nopon has a gun.
The shape of the art icon seems to indicate which nation the weapon comes from. The two icons overlap during a fusion art.
The left and right bumpers might not switch what character you play as, but instead the fusion arts you have access to.
I feel like character switch makes more sense, if anything, arts would be sorted in the arts menu just like in every other Xenoblade game.
I'm more inclined to think it's a character switch because when we look at Mio's arts in the chain attack section, the left side of her two fusion arts are both arts we see elsewhere in the trailer, but are from two different classes.
Related: Oh god, you can be any class and have up to three arts from up to three other classes at the same time.
"All the techniques I can use with it are flashing before my eyes." Noah breaks the 4th wall and mentions the Arts Palette.
Changing classes reminds me of Bravely Default. Not only are the outfits themed accordingly, but learned abilities can be carried over from one class to another.
Thanks for your hard work on this video! It looks like XC3 has references to all other Xeno games, and I'm very excited for it.
Sword Strike is also one of Malos' arts when he has Sever.
Edit: Might keep doing this as I notice more.
The Gormotti girl with green hair is most definitely Agnus, if her race wasn't enough of an indicator that Agnus members are all XC2 races (Keves being all XC1 races) then her weapon would be the other indicator since it has green light on it.
Wide slash is one of Rex's arts with twin rings?
I don't think Wide Slash is one of Shulk's arts. I think you mistook it for Stream Edge.
@@dantelawrence4676 oh i think i did. Oops
You, and the rest of this community never cease to amaze me with all the analysis and theories. I swear Monolith/Nintendo could give us 2 frames of half censored gameplay footage in a different language for their next game and within 12 hours the entire story and combat system will be solved.
XD Truee, agreed
And same here, I agree! ^^
So, Moebius turns out to be an enemy type. As the japanese version is Moebius Slayer, like all the other Slayer type increases from 2. This is likely the true name of the type of creature the Mysterious Giant is and might actually be the name of the Fog Beasts. If they are suppose to be like a One person version of the Ouroboros, then this makes sense. As the Moebius is a single strip folded to make it infinite. It's not a true infinite, it is still incomplete.
Just a thought I had on the Ouroboros "overheat" mechanic.
An interesting way to handle it would be for it to automatically cancel the form and inflict Topple (or Daze, but Topple would probably work better because reasons) on both party members when it fills up.
or maybe topple and daze are both inflicts based on the party member, Keves party members are toppled and Agnus party members are dazed
Regarding the Offseer ceremony after they meet Vandham - we can see that the giant enemy is carrying two apparently dead Keves soldiers. If Vandham isn't the one who dies there, I can imagine it's those two soldiers being put to rest.
25:20 I think the wings icon might be like XC1/DE where the color tells you how difficult the fight may be. In a shot with the little kid (Valdi) as a guess party member the wings are red. Plus it had a yellow ! Icon and there’s one when Lanz and Sena fuse the enemy has a blue ! Icon. Blue ! Icons may be quest while yellow ! may be story related
Noah's monado gauntlet also looks like Pyra's sword. The lights on it change from blue to the same shade of green as Pyra's lights, it has the same red, gold, and green coloring, and it has the 3 spikes that Pyra's sword has. I call it the Pyrarm.
PYRARM OH GOD PLEASE YES
I also have to mention that Taino and Eunie’s Ouroboros has a distinct similarity to Pnuema, not only being the more feminine of the trio but having the large wing like structures. This of course makes me think of Sena and Lanz’s as being Malos/Logos, which would set Mio and Noah up to Ontos/Alvis. Maybe that’s nothing but I can’t help but feel like it’s symbolism or foreshadowing of some kind
Considering that the Lanz/Sena Ouroboros's head kind of looks like Amalthus (aka Malos's Driver), you might be on to something.
"Suddenly appeared and attacked Noah and the others" is my favorite relationship
One thing I found interesting is that Melia says that all orders are RESCINDED which may imply at one point she may have been trying to meet with Ouroborous or that they were on good terms before some event.
My more rudimentary assumption was that it was about usual orders to attack Agnus; so she’s shifting focus from one enemy to the other
@@danielostrowski856 oh true true
something you forgot to mention about the arm. the relationship chart has riku saying something about no matter how many time i fix it it keeps breaking, he could be talking about the arm or he could be talking about noah himself. also noah being an artificial being is not to far fetched with xenoblade lore and the fact that it seems he has far more time than anyone else according to mio. there is also a possibility that noah at one point had the same affliction as Nimue and his arm shattered and was replaced with a fake one since again in xenoblade 1 they did replace Fiora and Mumkhars bodies with mecon parts and it seems keves can use similar tech
I'm thinking it's unlikely the mystery giant is Zanza or Alvis. His personality seems too different, plus the way he refers to "passage of fate" sounds like it's a familiar concept to him but not something he has had much direct experience with until now.
Zanza is dead. Ontos is probably hanging out with Mythra/Pyra, talking about how big of an assh0le Malos was.
Twitter revealed that when Taion and Eunie use their Ouroborus, it revives party members, so that could be one way to res party members, but I don't think it's the main way, it just seems like something their ourborus can do.
Also, in the moment with Melia standing under clock with two different colors, if you look on background, and compare it with frame of first trailer where Nia stands, it is exactly same background, just in different light, so it is possible that Keves has captured something from Agnes in this sequence.
47:44 another translation ive seen of this particular line is that Riku himself is obsessed with shiny things, or the like. So it seems once he likes something, particularly gemstones, he can't get away from it and has a one track mind, from what I would think
49:47 don't blame you for missing this, but Raptor Raid is actually one of Nia's Megalance arts, has a comepletely different effect though
1:25:28 In the Spanish trailer, when Noah mentions the Blade, it is written exactly as "Blade" from Xenoblade 2, instead of creating a new fancy term for the Ouroboros weapons or using a different translation. It may be that those two are unrelated, and they used the Blade term to later reference the actual Xenoblade of this game, but it could be useful to keep in mind.
There’s something about Riki and Manana that I noticed. Riki mentions gems and Manana mentions cooking. If i had to guess, I think battle customization might come back in the form of both gem crafting and pouch items and you would need to talk to either nopon for it.
Been waiting for this video ever since the trailer dropped, great analysis as always.
Welp, looks like I'm not sleeping tonight.
Most of us probably won't
Felt that
Another Xenoblade 3 movie watched, much enjoyment was had. I went back and watched a bunch of trailers from all the previous Xenoblade games as a comparison. These two trailers of 3 were pretty heavily packed! Time will tell if some of these scenes happen super late in the game. Some X and 2 trailers had some super late game stuff in them.
I kinda had a different idea of the red eye thing seen on Ethel and Isurugi. You mentioned that it was a sort of "Ouroborus-Sight" ability, that it essentially allowed these characters to determine who was awakened to one, and I think that's true, but it doesn't explain (to me at least) why they both seem to hate the party so much. This leads to my personal theory that the red eye is a sign of some higher influence that is deliberately altering other characters' perception of the party. This would also explain why Ethel, despite knowing Noah personally, sees weird shadow things instead of Noah and his friends.
I also believe that the red eye ties into why Nia and Melia have masks on. Since the masks are obviously not to hide their identities (Melia has been confirmed by the subtitles), I can't think of any other reason to hide their faces besides to conceal the red eye from the player.
This is why I love your Chanel everyone else was surface level but leave it to luxin to dig deep
Also I like how xenoblade dlc was "future" xenoblade 2 dlc was "past" and xenoblade 3 is the full culmination of the things revealed in both dlc
I think the "why is my name on here" line was from Eunie. It definitely sounds like her.
My theory with the whole baby Noah scene is that that location is actually Elysium right before Klaus' experiment happened. It's really the only physical location in the franchise where we can see the Earth in the sky like that. I'm also gonna think that that baby Noah we see is actually a previous incarnation of him like Abel was to Fei. And Noah is somehow getting a vision of his previous incarnation's life who was a resident of Elysium and witnessed the moment Klaus fucked up the world. The only wrench in that theory is that there are Nopon there. And we have no information as to whether or not Nopon existed on Earth prior to the experiment.
I'm worried that our 7th party members are gonna be similar to our 4th party members in X where for story missions they were just there and didn't really say anything during cutscenes.
the other problem with your elysium theory is that the architecture looks very much like colony 6 architecture. What little we saw of elysium had pretty modern-day-earth looking architecture.
Elysium night not even exist anymore
The Nopon are the guests, and they show up in a few cutscenes. They definitely seem more like main characters though.
i think that is planet mira where noah seen.
Holy shit that is such a cool thought and I really hope it's right.
I definitely feel like the mysterious giant is in some part designed based on Almandal from X. The curved horns and glowing claws really do it for me.
Definitely hoping for some references to X in 3.
I initially jumped the gun and thought you missed something Fusion Art related, but it looks like you got everything I had. Well done, the video was excellent
I think Ethel could be an avatar for an evil half of Galea like how shulk was for zanza. The one red eye opposite to Isurugi and crest seems to imply they are the mysterious giant, who quotes the thing zanza said in 1 while he was in posession of mayneth's monado. Plus while its not a 1 to 1, there is a slight resemblance to galea but in military armor.
Personally I think they've been brainwashed by the "real enemy" and that's why they have that power
I also agree with that theory; another theory a friend of mine came up with is that the red-eyed evil Ouroboros (another commenter called them Moebius, after the one-sided strip, as that name is used somewhere for an enemy name, plus they have an "infinity" symbol on their chest in the "passage of fate" part, which could very well be a moebius strip) might be Ouroboros whose counterpart from the opposite world is dead. Ethel could be Jin's counterpart from the XC1 universe (due to similarities in their design) and, since Jin is dead, Ethel became a Moebius instead of a full Ouroboros. Similarly, Isurugi's counterpart could be Kallian, although the design connection there seems a lot more farfetched.
@@WhyFi59 huh, that’s a really good name! That’d be a really interesting situation, since their reincarnations are on opposite sides - the XC1 character ended up in Agnus and vice versa
@@WhyFi59 is there anything that even implies any of the characters have counterparts tho?
@@eseph9899 The ouroboros symbols appearing on alternating eyes, implying that, to complete the ouroboros, you need to pair them up.
I know whichever mech ends up being the colony nine one is going to have some kind of reference or homage to xenoblade 1 colony nine and I can’t wait to see what it is
ALMOST TWO HOURS??? BRUH YOU’RE THE BEST
I've been waiting for your over 1 hour analysis. Thank you.
I also wanted to point out that Sword Strike was also one of Malos’s arts during the first two times you fight him. Hugo wasn’t my first thought, haha!
Edit: 28:00 I think maybe the two wings by the monster may mean it’s a quest objective? 35:00 I think the exclamation mark above Lanz’s head is just a reminder he is at low hp.
1:29:00 It also seems like party members learn arts at higher levels and their art pallet won’t be filled up by like level 12 or something.
I've been waiting for this analysis video all day. Thank you, Luxin.
1:19:26
Actually, if you look in between Noah and Mio, you can just barely see Sena running across holding Noah's sword. Although that doesn’t really change anything.
Love your videos keep up your great work we need people like you!
Beautiful, been waiting for your video on this. You educate me in the finest Xenoblade lore and details. Appreciate your pashion.
Was waiting for this video but making a 2 hour video out of a 3 min trailer is insane! Excited to watch it all
Damn good analysis my dude, thanks for putting in so much work!
Great video man!! love your analysis!
There's really no contest when it comes to the Depth and Length of Xenoblade Analysis videos Luxin takes the cake 🎂
I think that the scene where it shows Noah as a kid is drawing more Xenogears inspiration, mainly that that person is not Noah, and more of an Abel figure, with Noah as a reincarnation.
Thank you for this, Luxin. Know that your exhaustive analyses are greatly appreciated
4:28 - 4:36 Sound like Shulk and Reyn to anyone else? (Also their battle roles are also basically identical in that Noah is an attacker and Lanz is basically a tank)
(edit): A theory of mine is that reviving people will be up to whoever is the healer class such as Eunie and that they will be the way to keep the party alive. I also think that the "monster" talking about the passage of fate could be a combination of Zanza and Klaus which I think would be very interesting (I don't exactly know how that would work however with Zanza kinda being, ya know, split in two by the monado III, likely disappearing from existance).
WELP, I know what I'm watching tonight. Lovin' the deep dive into this very brief trailer.
There it is! I was waiting for it, I thought this time it was gonna be 2 hours considering the first trailer was 90 seconds and your analysis was 1 and a half hour and this one was 3 minutes and a lot beefy-er and I was close lol, madman
fantastic video luxin very fun to listen to and think about
Thanks your time for making this long analysis and it did help me understand the new battle a lot and I m so excited for the game!!
Wow, you did a reallly good job. I have difficulties paying attention for this long but I was able to hold out during the entire video. Really like your explanations. Goes deep into details and it’s nothing complex.
Oh boy, gotta watch both Luxin and Enel's analysis video, lots of goodies
I’ve been waiting for this!
A couple things to note:
1. It was basically confirmed that the queen of Keves was Melia due to the captions on the trailer during Melia's "Henceforth, all orders are rescinded" line. The name in those captions has now been changed to "Queen", meaning this was likely a Nintendo employee doing a f*cky wucky.
2. The "why is my name on here" line is said by Eunie, not the little Machina girl, also confirmed by the captions.
"Very obviously all three Ouroboros link pairs are going to fuse with eachother as a sux-way fusion to make an even bigger actual titan-sized thing to fight god at the end of the game" - Luxin, before we knew anything about future redeemed.
1:07:49
Man my hype levels are through the roof, thank you for explaining this I'm only getting more and more excited
One of my favourite parts of any rpg like this is the feeling of your attacks really hurting your enemy. Like a big swing and then as the attack hits, there's a pause in the animation and a meaty sound effect. Makes you feel so powerful. Xeno2 was great about this and I am glad there is evidence of it here as well. Nothing takes the wind out of a game's battle system more than the attacks feeling like paper hitting a pillow.
Something I didn't notice till watching your video, that I don't think I've seen anyone mention yet is: in the fight against the blant (9:43) you can see arts from the left palette and right palette are connected by a wavy thread, and then they... merge? They activate at the same time? Then the "bubbles" icon from Maximum Voltage (left) also appears in the Ground Beat icon (right).
Now, we were already kinda speculating that the left arts are "linked" maybe from other characters, whereas the right arts are your own arts. Noah had Mio's Wide Slash, for instance. My new thought is this: Triggering a linked, supporting art at the same time as a regular art allows you to stack an additional secondary effect onto your attack. Top slot only links with top slot, etc. If this works the way I think it does, it'll add even more depth to combat
Edit: I should've just waited for you to get there in the video 😅 Got too excited. I should've known you wouldn't overlook any details lol
Wild to come back to these prediction videos after beating the game and seeing just how much he got right
I just did project about Guernica. Thanks for this in-depth analysis
The Agnus mech we see at the beginning is very similar to the artifice colossuses specifically atleast with the main shape
No way in hell we aren't getting more classes as we fight significant characters
Awesome content man I love this!
Thank you for this video
By far the best analysis videos come out of your channel, I'd be willing to watch even if you released something twice as long lol
Well done, my friend walked in and was like what the heck when I mentioned how long the video was
Yes!! I was really looking forward to this
This helped me understand the combat system a lot more. Great video!
Yesssss. I can't believe the Xenoblade series is still alive and well in 2022 with only months left to expect the latest title of the series. It's amazing to see what were all in store for.
Also, lmao, I knew this was coming but I have to watch this in multiple sittings. Thanks Luxin for your efforts!
Welcome back ladies and gentlemen to another Luxin Feature Length Xeno analysis. Will Monolith Soft ever let this man rest? Find out next time! 😂
FR tho, I was really looking forward to your analysis. I analysed everything for myself the past few days but bruh, you're on another level.
55:02
There is something very important on that scene. That is the room where Nia was in the first trailer. The clock having less green than blue seems to imply that Keves has the upper hand in the war
been waiting on this all day
Unfortunately this will have to wait, gotta wake up early for work so ima go to bed, but I'm definitely enjoying this tomorrow
The Ferronis, from what I see, are operating on a motion capture sort of system. Knowing Monolithsoft, that's most likely pulling from G Gundam's Mobile Trace System or, if we go older, Daimos or, if we go tokusatsu, Jumborg Ace (or its heisei counterpart Jean-Bot).
We've seen this type of cockpit used before, in Xenoblade X with both the Zu Pharg and Vita
1:02:50 LOL he IS this game’s Metal Face (he literally has the same claws in human form) and he DID kill a party member early on. Kind of.
here we go. Time for more of my life to dedicate to this masterpiece of a trailer
Wuxin with the upload, like and comment for the man. 👌🏿
I am hoping to hear the mistery giant say "do you desire the power?"
Ahhh yes our best xeno knowledge pro is finally here for the discussion
You and enel got me so hype for this game
great video! subbed :) cant wait for this game!
22:00 here's my translation for the tactics screen:
コンボフリー - Lit. Combo Free (Default state probably)
集中攻撃 - Focus Attack (On a single target)
集合 - Gather around/Assemble
アーツ融合重視 - Prioritize Arts Combination (Driver Combo probably)
Hearing this guy talk at length about Xenoblade is very relaxing
We're in for a treat!
55:58 plot twist: it’s “Commander Isurd”
This was amazing to listen to during a trip
Been waiting for this all day.
I’m so ready for this game to make me bawl my eyes out
There's definitely a lot to look at so thanks again for your efforts in trying to make sense of it all. I don't really have much to add to the points discussed in the video but I will mention a minor detail I found rather amusing.
A few people I've spoken to have jokingly mentioned that the healer role icon looks like a 'female' symbol. While I'm not an expert on the subject matter (please correct me if I'm wrong or you can provide a better explanation), I think it more closely resembles the astronomical symbol for Pluto rather than Venus.
Pluto in astrology/mythology appears to have an association with life and death; its relation to the actual story is probably insignificant but, as an MMO player, it's funny to think of healers as having the potential for a god complex here too. With the absence of a traditional party gauge, it's possible they could make revives a role specific mechanic in some form. The recent Twitter posts mention it as being something Eunie and Taion's Ouroboros can do but other methods remain unseen.
Either way, I'm looking forward to seeing what comes in the future. Take care and don't push yourself too hard.
Nice! Was just looking for a movie to watch.
Also seems like we'll be getting the full party relatively quick in the game. Thank god, never liked having to wait to get my favourite members.
Those jackets are flexible as hell. How does Lanz not stretch them out~
About the ferronis, considering we see motion inside and outside I feel they are a combination of blades and faces
they can be piloted like a face but they can also work as an extension of their driver
What if Moebius is an enemy class?
The Mysterious Giant has an Infinity Symbol on his chest and seems unique versus the Oroborous Party Members, so maybe he's this game's Metal Face and his type of creature/being is special enough to have the classification of Moebius, like the Faced Mechon.
We do presumably see some more classes that we could possibly play, being the spear that cam uses, the bow the gormott girl uses, the sword/shield the high entia guy uses, the canister on the mechanics back, and the knuckles(?) on the one general
Characters could also have unique versions of their classes that other characters might not have since Noah was able to change his sword into that gauntlet and long sword
I watched a little clip of Japanese gameplay and the main battle theme sounds like a combination of the main battle themes from Torna and Future Connected. So cool.
