You just blew my mind with the X being like crossover, I might be convinced. Noah and Mio became a beautiful alien sci fi world! Best love story ever XD
I really don’t think XC2 Definitive Edition is a good idea. Remastering the first two games makes sense, since you wouldn’t be able to play them on the Switch otherwise and their original releases don’t hold up quite as well as the other games visually. Remastering 2 would be a pretty bad move, especially for a niche series like Xenoblade. If the next system is backwards compatible, I see no reason for it at all.
Nah that game has some stuff they could iron out. It's development was directly impacted because Monolith had people working on Breath of the Wild. You could clean up the graphics and framerate a bit, put in better tutorials, and change the way field skills work.
I've always thought that the thing in space at the end of Xenoblade 3 was Elma coming to Earth, and the joined world was Earth, but I like your theory of it being the White Whale coming to Mira. And you said that X said it's been 2 years, but it's just been 2 years to the people on the White Whale. Lightspeed travel and science-y time difference could explain it with a single line of dialogue.
Actually that was the first thing I when I saw the ending of XB 3. What if XB 1 and 2 combined is Mira? That would explain why Mira has so many similarities to Aionios. That brings also the possibility to bring back characters from 1,2 and 3 I guess. But I don’t think they‘ll go that way.
I think they really wanted to X to be a standalone thing first and that they still keep the definitive Edition kinda open and depending on the sales and fans reviews they gonna connect it to the mainline games in the future
Speaking about the fact that they should tie X into the main games but also not burden people with tons of lore they need to learn. I honestly believe Project Exodus in FR and X are the same event and X is going to recontextualize what actually happened on earth. And Xenoblade X is just going to be a completely different adventure that doesn't concern itself with the other games for now.
I was thinking black knight was logos but hearing someone else's comparison, I realized the voice is way more likely to be matt mercer, who voices lao. The lao waking up here has natural looking eyes in DE rather than the mimeosome eyes, so it makes me wonder if the black knight is using a lao mimeosome and has been jumping bodies to keep the facade that he's dead while he works in the background. I do still think logos will be involved, but I think it'll have more to do with the lifehold. Origin was created using ontos, so it would make sense if the lifehold was another origin made using logos instead.
I wonder if they are going to add something that would increase the lvl cap to 99? That would be perfect for a quest or something to do after the main story.
2:15 Thanks for this insightful point you bring to the table which TH-camrs basically never talk about, the difference between the "online world" and actual reality. Some people are starting to confuse online and reality so much that they start to complain about a game being "dead" as if it won't sell anymore simply because people stopped talking about it. I mean, wake up people ! this sort of reactions is concerning, it doesn't reflect what happens in the real world and most likely doesn't have any actual impact.
There's plenty of connections in X. Not only the pin on Lin's hair, but also there's the Monado in a side quest, there's an item that is the model of Bionis and Mechonis, there's Tatsu speaking about the homs. The problem is that people don't wanna see that, they keep saying "oh it's just an easter egg" where it's blatantly obvious that it isn't
There was a interview were takahashi told he is interested in x-2. Now that x DE is here, it’s a fact that x-2 will happen. No way it wouldn’t. Don’t know how anybody would question this.
I still think X2 will happen because of X Definitive Edition like XC1DE for XC3, mostly to prep newer Xenoblade fans that started on Switch. I'm not certain when it will release, like 2027 if a supposed XC2 DE is in the works. Idk if Monolith will continuously do Definitive Editions for every past Xenoblade game since XC1 and XCX were pre-Switch/XC2 games to get another shot with the newer, larger Switch audience before fixing technical issues and improving performance. But Monolith has got to be cooking up some sort of XCX2 whether it's during the early years of the Switch 2 or the later years. The stronger argument for this than any pattern is that XCX is literally Nintendo and Monolith's only MMORPG adjacent type of game. They're likely not going to give up that genre with one attempt if XCX on the Wii U sold okay given the circumstances (close to XC1 on Wii). Now it also doesn't mean XCX DE will sell that much better since this is still hyping an old game for a system about to be succeeded even if it's backwards compatible or may have a graphical patch for Switch 2. But an actual fair second attempt at a new XCX style game on a next gen Switch, which will more than likely sell a whole lot more than the Wii U, has too much potential for the whole Xenoblade franchise that Monolith and Nintendo wouldn't pass on. If XCX DE still doesn't sell 1 million, then I'd be concerned.
X is not an MMORPG by a long shot. It has simply multiplayer features. By then something like Monster Hunter would also be one.. My biggest guess that they will tie it to the trilogy but im not expecting a sequel other then if that happens. X like 1 were unaivable to a large group of people so they remade it. And also because X was unfinished its getting more Story Content not because they preparing something (imo)
@@mattgezockt2596 It's why I said MMORPG adjacent type of game. A sequel to X will also be dependent on what direction the new story elements in XCX DE brings so yes, it could tie into the trilogy. XC4 could be an XCX style game as well so we'll see. I just don't think an XCX style game begins and ends with just XCX for Nintendo and Monolith unless sales for XCX DE are extremely unimpressive.
I tried to play the game on emulator once. I did not get far. Only the fact that the map was on gamepad was pain. And ontop of that we know the switch version will have more content including new story content. How much we dont know yet but I will absolutely play the switch version. I don't know why but I dont tend to finish games I emulate. Maybe it's becouse the controls are weird, maybe it's because it often glitches out while loading new assets but point is I don't seem to be able to get through it. More power to you for it though.
*Plot twist:* David Menkin returns to voice a totally different character that has nothing to do with Malos. All I can say is that if the unknown character is from Kingdom Hearts, it would have to be Luxord because the body shape fits perfectly.
@@daydreamer.nighthawk It's a joke. Kingdom Hearts is a game from Square Enix and Disney. There are a lot of characters who wear distinctive black hooded robes and have an X in their name
1 million views on Ninty US, but only 450k on Japan's own Ninty website. And comments are off. Just goes to show that the series isn't as popular in Japan than Western countries.
Where is XC2 DE coming from. Why should it release on the next platform. I rather could imagine a better resolution and framerate on the next console but nothing more I would love to get more continents but a concept Art is a concept Art. There arent any other Continents as far as we know
XC2 remaster any time soon would just be...weird. There would be nothing to update aside from QOL, and is going to still be completely playable on whatever console comes next. A xenosaga remaster, if anything, makes more sense. But XCX2 is absolutely being primed by this new remaster. Takahashi has ideas, and if they lean towards a harder sci-fi setting, seeing how people react to this XCX DE is absolutely going to affect where those stories go next.
A remaster for 2? 2 doesn't need it. It's already superior to XC1, which was made for the Wii. As for Xeno 4? Why bother milking the series? Why not head off into making a brand new Xeno-G or Xeno-S type game, without upsetting Squaresoft and Namco.
I played this on the Wii U and see no reason to buy it again. Unless they are adding content, there is no reason. Im sick of the remakes and remasters. It's time for more new games. Instead of wasting time on this game, they could make a new one. Or at least make it better. Apparently, they did away with content to add online features. They should do away with the online and add more content to make the story better.

Yes. New Games over Remakes any time.
I agree Xenoblade Chronicles 2 doesn’t need a remakes
@@Kairos-Corejust few patches and some life emprovement features but overwise no need to remake xenoblade 2. I still hope they will add new content.
Memoryleak Chronicles 2.

No too much difference.
Agree on every single point made. Thanks for making such a knowledgeable & fun video!

I’ve always been a subscriber to the theory that the rings in Oblivia is the ruins of Alcamoth eons later. Even back when Xenoblade X was new
The ring looks the same as the ring in Mechonis' shoulder. It's so obvious I don't know why people didn't see it sooner
@@daydreamer.nighthawk that was my second guess but just the fact there are multiple rings + the floating islands in that part of the map
I got into Xenoblade in 2014 and I don't remember the Dunban Knight theory at all, I must have missed that one.
13:39 there are a bunch of ruins in calduros and an entire civilization of robot shape shifters on mira. not to mention the nopon.
BLADE: Beyond the Logos Artificial Destiny Emancipator
8:57 - lol, never heard of it, but this was an actually pretty nearby suggestion when you look at it.
Fiiiine, I'll finally finish FR

Replaying the Wii u version right now and I think it will do well especially with its similarities to the Monster Hunter series in its gameplay
I think mira maybe aionios. I think the button press spun off mutiple dimensions.
There was a interview were takahashi told he is interested in x-2. Now that x DE is here, it’s a fact that x-2 will happen. No way it wouldn’t. Don’t know how anybody would question this.
Also they need to explain Elma. Where is she from, what happened to the rest of her race, why did she care to warn earth.
X2 on Switch 2 xmas wish.
Until proven wrong it always be malos. He did not just wash up on a XB3 beach for no reason.
