    "The wind blows hard in December"
    The western versions of the game came out in early December while the Japanese version came out in April of the same year.

    I always pictured the "pouring wine in to my glass, looking back to where we were" part as the lady sitting in her living room on a cold, windy december night looking back on the good parts of her ex-relationship, pouring herself a glass of wine as she and her ex, from wherever they are, think about each other and the past.

      Not sure if stated ironically because a lot of people make fun of that song, but I would genuinely love to see Luxin analyze Black Tar since it happens to fit humanity's struggle in X as well.

      I think Melancholia is even more resonant (though that could just be for Xenoblade as a whole).

  • @chaptermasterosiris7936

    I like the idea of plot recaps, but perhaps narrating over prerecorded footage would be better for this endeavour. I don’t know for sure, but I assume that Xenogears is divided into chapters; if so, I’d ask that you record your regular gameplay (no narration) as you play, and every 3 chapters or so going back and narrating on what you were thinking, parallels, you see to Xenoblade, and perhaps pointing out cool things you missed while playing but noticed while narrating. Whether you run with my idea or just do the recaps, can’t wait to watch!

    Anyway, hopefully there's hope for real life humanity too, because well, you did mention the environmental crisis. It was only for like a second, but the song's interpretation in this video could be applied to real life in general in certain ways.

    I hadn't heard Uncontrollable before XC2 and my jaw dropped when it started playing in the first Elma fight in Challenge Battle Mode.

      X is an amazing game. 2 is kinda a toned down Xenoblade game (they wanted to make it more light hearted story and simplified/streamlined mechanics, I mean) but X is the opposite, turning everything up to 11. Tons of music with lyrics, amazing overworld music and the best exploration in any game, ever. It is pure exploration for the sake of exploration and it is wonderful (if you like that type of stuff. I love it)

    A thought when you talked about only being able to hear the beginning of the song at first - when you finally get strong enough to have extended fights against tyrants, it symbolizes being strong enough to see the same cycle happen more than once (the drifting apart and coming back together).

      @Chronoflation 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      That's kinda the saddest part of the game. Once you hit infinite overdrive level, the main battle themes are basically non-existent. Hopefully the next game let's you use the radio with your skell flying instead of forcing on the song it uses. I enjoyed that song the first time I heard it, but it should not be used that liberally lol I basically so many songs I basically don't get to hear just because the flight and overdrive themes basically become all you ever hear by end game. That and "uh uh yeah"

    We are so getting a port on the Switch & a HD port of the 1st game as well. XB2 is selling near 2million soon & XCX 2 is in the pipe line so there will be fans that got into XB2 will wonder how did XCX2 happen without playing XCX.
    So Takahashi is going to have to port XCX to the Switch since Wii U & XCX are not in stores in mass stock to fill those new fans that will come in after they had played XB2 & XCX2 (when it comes out).
    XB series is Nin's Final Fantasy series after they had lost that exclusive years ago to Sony so Nin is going to want to include & continue to support XB series for years to come. So Switch is going to have all the XB collection on it because remember Switch is getting 7 year support & that is good enough time to have XB HD, XCX port, XB2/DLC story, & the XCX2 through out the Switches life👍.

    • @Chronoflation
      @Chronoflation 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      That would be amazing, don't know if they'll do it though. They already ported XB1 to New 3DS and they usually don't double dip ports or remasters like that, even though they should. I'd love to see 1 in HD, or X on Switch (it'd be a bit odd without the touch screen, but I guess that's okay 🤷🏻‍♂️)

    ===
    Hold on tight for now.
    There's no sign before our final goal
    Through the dark, give us guiding light
    All to find what was lost
    Time marches on
    Fight
    We won't fall
    Not a chance
    With my trust in you
    Never
    Give in to sorrow
    We'll see tomorrow
    This will be our hardest night
