How strange, that two disparate deities came from the same scientist. Zanza faced his end with horror and disbelief at the hands of a future he could not see that would come to pass, while Klaus calmly and sternly entreated it to finally come and prayed for the rest to fall into place without him.
@@Tython82 I always just interpreted the difference between them as being born from varying circumstances. Zanza was brought into a new universe and became its god, not having to bear witness to the ruin he created as a result. Its suggested that Zanza wasn't the arrogant tyrant he would become at first, but over time his fear of being abandoned (and the inevitable death that it would cause) led him to become more and more cruel, eventually succumbing to his ego and justifying his actions through his supposed divinity. The Architect, meanwhile, was forced to remain behind in the shattered ruins of the universe he destroyed. Being left alone, surrounded by nothing but the horror you wrought on the world for countless years would probably be a pretty humbling experience. The Architect spent so much time alone reflecting on his situation that the guilt shattered his arrogance. I don't believe that the Architect and Zanza are two differing aspects, but rather are fundamentally the same person put into vastly different circumstances which shape their perspective on their situations. Zanza isn't the "evil half" of Klaus and the Architect isn't the "good half", they're both just Klaus being given godlike power but thrust into two different scenarios which bring out different character flaws he possessed as a human.
@@LongSinceDead1 Not only that, but it makes sense if you observe that if the cerebral hemisphere of Klaus was separated, the half that is Zanza is the left side, which do the logic and analysis, it would explain how he lack compassion and only acts in form of functionality without regarding for his creations. Meanwhile, the Architect side is the right which is the creativity, feelings and imagination, which could also explain how Alrest is so much more mystical and how he just want to atone for his sins. You know, Klaus wasn't a bad person overall, not a good one either, he was a curious and ambitious man, who just kind fucked it up real bad.

@Kainos Teleos Aren't all of the Trinity processors computers Explained by Klaus Xenoblade Chronicles 2 Here's my theory The reason Alvis has access to all of his ability's is He Still has access to his computer memories and functions Though he so has Similarities to a normal ages The reason pyra/mithra Don't have access to their computer Self Means They have not Unlock their full power I assume If pyra Was never created mithra Would of turn In to the real pneuma The computer one Pyra Was crated To stabilize mithra's Power And For her to get away From what happened 500 years ago
I don't think he has any awareness of Alrest. Pneuma and Malos both seemed to have no clue there were other universes, much less what was happening in them.

I saw this part today as I finished XC2 and my jaw opened. I was pointing at the screen saying WHAT SHULK! BOTH SHITS GOING ON AT THE SAME TIME! ZANZA'S DIEING!
@Nhat Anh Hoang except story pacing which is literally what got me to quit playing it. The game could be better the tutorials could not suck. The combat could not need bandaid fixes like stuttering stepping and pouch items that make the game feel better to play. It why i like torna the golden country it got rid of the fluff. I had more fun with torna 10 hours than with 2’s 30. Now this is a personal issue but the games visuals boring and generic. And that slow story pacing doesn’t help that feeling. It doesn’t matter how good the 3rd act is (it’s really damn good I will give it that) if the 1st and 2nd acts put people to sleep. 1 doesn’t look good as a game but it’s story and great English dub made up for the dated visuals. I bought a Wii U for X I waited 2 year to play xc2 because I wasn’t impressed with what I saw. Xc1 was a masterpiece in a jrpg dark age. X was a game that took 1s base to make something unique. 2 is a great game among a sea of great games with nothing to set it that much apart. It dipped its hands in to things that it’s probably shouldn’t have things that brought down the experience. Xc1 was a masterpiece and what ever sequel came from would have high expectations. X was smart in not being a true sequel because while it’s the worst game of the three it’s my favorite for doing something interesting. By calling itself Xenoblade Chronicles 2 this game has a lot to prove and while many love it just as many don’t. This game didn’t live up to some people expectations. I just hope that what comes next (hopefully X2) take what worked from 2 and fixes its problems and can be a sequel that me and hopefully more people can enjoy. to its fullest.
@Nhat Anh Hoang everything you just said is true but I don’t think your listening to what I said despite all of 2 improvements I and dropped it on my first playthrough because 2 first act doesn’t have its equivalent of the Colony nine attack. I thought the combat was slow turns out the game gave me bad info. I rolled my eyes at the fan service then rolled my eyes at the gotcha. For every improvement to made it fucked up on the most important thing 2 made one so special those first three hours. That first impression meant everything I was already kinda sore that we got this instead of a sequel to X I wasn’t impressed by what what I saw and 2 was a giant disappointment. It does get good And almost everyone agrees that the best part of two is climbing the world tree. Where as I stopped playing at chapter 6 because I just wasn’t having fun and gave up. I eventually did come back and beat it after playing torna and loving it. 2 pretty good game very much so is an improvement over 1. The next game that monolith makes needs to put his best foot forward instead of doing with two did in limping across the starting line. I and many other probably never be able to fully we appreciate to the way many else does because of that shit first impression.
Nunca me espere algo como esto en el Xenoblade 2. La verdad amo estos juegos. / I never expected something like this in Xenoblade 2. I really love these games.
this edit really juxtaposes the first 2 games' approach to storytelling. xenoblade 1's story is focused more on the grandiosity of the plot and xenoblade 2's story is focused more on the emotional character arcs. not that i'm saying either approach to storytelling is bad or one game has a worse story than the other, it's just a neat comparison. every xenoblade game (yes, even X and 3) kills it in the ending department, and i can rewatch these ending cutscenes dozens of times and still get goosebumps.
I havent played xenoblade chronicles 3 yet but i already love how monolith is dedicated in this series, and the fact that they try to prove that everyone has a good side and a bad side and has a reason for their actions as well. Malos is not actually evil if you think about it, his driver might have been evil but even amalthus kinda had his own reasonings EDIT: spoilers for xenoblade chronicles 3 cause i finally beat it love the fact that what egil and malos hope to achieve is the same as what noah wants to achieve. basically just destroy the world cause "god" was oppressing. Even when shulk hoped for a world with no gods the people decided to make a god which was moebius and linger in the "endless now"
I am so mad, everyone saying they were going crazy when they heard the line, but when Xenoblade 2 came out I wanted to play it but i didn't have the first one, so I looked up if I needed to play the first one and some dumbass said no, they are not connected.....
I mean yeah... that’s kinda sad. To be fair it doesn’t show that they’re connected until the last moment of the game. Also kinda lame ig cause that’s major Xenoblade one spoilers too :(
@@finestcustard5647 I looked for the answer to my question quite a while after the game had come out, many people had completed it, had to ovoid them for spoilers, so that person shouldn't have said anything unless he finished the game or he knew the ending and thought it didn't mean anything, worst person to be answering that question, AKA, a dumbass...
The connection is very small. Aside from this literal one scene, Xenoblade 2 works completely fine as your first game in the series. If Xenoblade 1 came out second then stuff like Klaus’ other half, and where Ontos went, would just be sequel-bait mysteries. And it’s not as though this line specifically spoils anything, nor are people likely to remember it through the massive journey of XB1.
@@LoudWaffle Nah, not small enough to be labeled as not having to play the first game, you get a different mind set and reveal would have been more satisfying, and when I played the first one finally, I could've had a better experience in the end not knowing/waiting for him to say the line.
@@the-pezinator The person who said no was quoting the devs of Xenoblade 2. They said that you don't need to have played the first game to understand or enjoy the second game. Also, that sounds like a you problem. The impact of the line doesn't change whether you know the line exists or not. The impact comes from the fact that you are at the end of the journey and are clearing the final enemy. If you feel that you got cheated out of that impact because you _heard_ (emphasis on you just hearing the line with nothing else) the line, then you need to adjust your mind set.
Two fantastic games; I cannot WAIT to see what a potential XCX remake would be like. I mean, XC:DE fixed all the issues I had with the original, making it actually enjoyable to play (it's not perfect; it didn't port over XC2's Unique Monster graves, after all, and some gear Appearances are stupidly permanently-missable, due to shops no longer stocking the relevant equipment or a certain titanic area being destroyed, eliminating the enemies that dropped that gear), so I'd like XCX:DE to do the same.
@@bradyyt6767 Yeah, Klaus is a bad guy. He killed billions just to see what would happen, against the protests of his colleagues, then spent the next era desperately trying to put everything back together while crafting some noble reasoning for his actions.
Jin and alvis are both character playing mercury. These game encoded so much about the sky. The 2nd spiritual sun we don’t see ego or egil and sanza like sonson on sanza stark same actress played phoenix and dark phoenix 2nd sun we don’t see. And did you notice the cut part of the game was the bionis shoulder or titans neck
XC2 was my first Xenoblade game, so I had NO IDEA what was even going on with Klaus.........until I heard Shulk's voice (only recognized him cuz of Smash). Then I also realized Klaus sounds like Shulk as well so my mind was going crazy lol. So then I somehow put it together that the other half of Klaus was either Shulk about to finish the game, or he was the final boss that Shulk was about to kill. But holy shit how did I guess that right. I really got to play XC1 now, considering XC3 (unless I shouldnt and play as if I was part of the XC2 world and wonder wtf the other half of the characters are talking about, and understanding what the other half are saying lol)
@@poolemon9016 They meant changing the scene in Definitive edition to match how it worked in 2. The two scenes sort of contradict one another, both the scene at the end of the original, and the beginning of Chapter 10 in 2. However, it can be chalked up easily as Alvis not knowing entirely what happened before the world was destroyed and remade.
This shit blew my mind when I first saw it. This scene was stuck in my head for weeks, and I was blown away by how they connected the two games. 10/10 experience, would gladly play again. It’s just a shame that Xenoblade DE didn’t do something similar to connect it to the end of XB2.
Well, it was XC2's job to expand the lore of XC1, and XCDE IS XC1. That's why the game doesn't have any changes other than Alvis' key being replaced by Ontos' Core Crystal.

I'm currently watching a friend play XC for the first time, and I've blatently lied to his face so many times it isn't even funny. I lied about Shulk in Mechonis Core, I lied about fiora (but he knows from smash already), and I am currently lying to him so he dies to territorial rotbart. It's great.
@@nepnep615 Yeah I really hate how smash spoils Fiora and Mumkhar that's how I got spoiled
@@poppapalpatine8624 thing is, too, Sakurai really goes out of his way to spoil Xenoblade, you can even see mecha Fiora front and center on the spirit board picture lmao.
And in shulk's final smash
@@nicologallicchio9092 haha yeah. E3 2018 presentation, big red arrow, "we added fiora to his final smash!"
greatest moment in videogames
They also synced Zanza and Malos screaming
I played xc2 first so i totally didnt understand this reference. But i just saw the xc2 version of this today and my jaw dropped. That's the ultimate easter egg
Welcome, Pyra.
I just beat Xenoblade 2, and I damn near screamed at this scene. Only reason I didn't is because it was 1am and I'm in a hotel. I'm not an asshole. But holy shit this was just fantastic in the best way.
I saw this part today as I finished XC2 and my jaw opened. I was pointing at the screen saying WHAT SHULK! BOTH SHITS GOING ON AT THE SAME TIME! ZANZA'S DIEING!
To think they'll end up in an even worse world frozen in time
I love Xenoblade.
I like how they both say "we use our power to fell a god" at the same time
...That's the entire point of the video.
Both of these games are amazing wish more people would give them a try
If only xc2 came off better
@Nhat Anh Hoang it could be better
@Nhat Anh Hoang in ways yes but not completely better. Also gatcha -2000 points. Get that shit out of my 60$ game. I don’t care if it’s not monetized.
@Nhat Anh Hoang except story pacing which is literally what got me to quit playing it. The game could be better the tutorials could not suck. The combat could not need bandaid fixes like stuttering stepping and pouch items that make the game feel better to play. It why i like torna the golden country it got rid of the fluff. I had more fun with torna 10 hours than with 2’s 30. Now this is a personal issue but the games visuals boring and generic. And that slow story pacing doesn’t help that feeling. It doesn’t matter how good the 3rd act is (it’s really damn good I will give it that) if the 1st and 2nd acts put people to sleep. 1 doesn’t look good as a game but it’s story and great English dub made up for the dated visuals. I bought a Wii U for X I waited 2 year to play xc2 because I wasn’t impressed with what I saw. Xc1 was a masterpiece in a jrpg dark age. X was a game that took 1s base to make something unique. 2 is a great game among a sea of great games with nothing to set it that much apart. It dipped its hands in to things that it’s probably shouldn’t have things that brought down the experience. Xc1 was a masterpiece and what ever sequel came from would have high expectations. X was smart in not being a true sequel because while it’s the worst game of the three it’s my favorite for doing something interesting. By calling itself Xenoblade Chronicles 2 this game has a lot to prove and while many love it just as many don’t. This game didn’t live up to some people expectations. I just hope that what comes next (hopefully X2) take what worked from 2 and fixes its problems and can be a sequel that me and hopefully more people can enjoy. to its fullest.
@Nhat Anh Hoang everything you just said is true but I don’t think your listening to what I said despite all of 2 improvements I and dropped it on my first playthrough because 2 first act doesn’t have its equivalent of the Colony nine attack. I thought the combat was slow turns out the game gave me bad info. I rolled my eyes at the fan service then rolled my eyes at the gotcha. For every improvement to made it fucked up on the most important thing 2 made one so special those first three hours. That first impression meant everything I was already kinda sore that we got this instead of a sequel to X I wasn’t impressed by what what I saw and 2 was a giant disappointment. It does get good And almost everyone agrees that the best part of two is climbing the world tree. Where as I stopped playing at chapter 6 because I just wasn’t having fun and gave up. I eventually did come back and beat it after playing torna and loving it. 2 pretty good game very much so is an improvement over 1. The next game that monolith makes needs to put his best foot forward instead of doing with two did in limping across the starting line. I and many other probably never be able to fully we appreciate to the way many else does because of that shit first impression.
Klaus spelled backwards, "sualK", sounds kind of like "Shulk" when read aloud, and vice versa.
when xenoblade 2 went through that scene i actually screamed when hearing Shulk. Like WTF.
This was the best moment of my life.
Same
And when I realised Malos has a Monado
Now i need this video but with the full movies of both games synced to this moment
Good luck with that iirc xc2 has more cutscenes than xc1
Man.
I really gotta replay Xenoblade 2
I was supposed to get it for my birthday, but apparently something went wrong with the ordering process and it never actually got ordered
@@zan239 I actually just got it for my birthday a few weeks ago and I beat it and Torna. Easily one of my favorite games of all time
I really gotta replay Xenoblade 1
I played It twice on Wii, playing Xc2 now makes me wanting to play XC1 again, understand better the world and lore
I lost my mind when that line in XC2
God dam. Idk when Chuggaaconroy will get to that . But I saw this years ago I love xenoblade chronicles. My favorite game of all time
0:55 chills
Box8 if they ever make another one this is going to be their signature line like with Fallout signature line is war war never changes
This was so freaking cool! I just experienced and now have a visual thanks to this video!
Nunca me espere algo como esto en el Xenoblade 2. La verdad amo estos juegos. / I never expected something like this in Xenoblade 2. I really love these games.
La verdad yo tampoco, en parte por eso termine amando mucho mas Xenoblade 2 y se volvio mi favorito de la saga
Chills...just chills man!!!
These are two of most epic scenes in videogames
Yes, definitaly
Ontos just chilling as a super computer
1:08
찐
this edit really juxtaposes the first 2 games' approach to storytelling. xenoblade 1's story is focused more on the grandiosity of the plot and xenoblade 2's story is focused more on the emotional character arcs. not that i'm saying either approach to storytelling is bad or one game has a worse story than the other, it's just a neat comparison. every xenoblade game (yes, even X and 3) kills it in the ending department, and i can rewatch these ending cutscenes dozens of times and still get goosebumps.
Shulks voice actor was on point.
Pichón intergaláctico legendario OP
Easily my favorite line in any game
I havent played xenoblade chronicles 3 yet but i already love how monolith is dedicated in this series, and the fact that they try to prove that everyone has a good side and a bad side and has a reason for their actions as well. Malos is not actually evil if you think about it, his driver might have been evil but even amalthus kinda had his own reasonings EDIT: spoilers for xenoblade chronicles 3 cause i finally beat it
love the fact that what egil and malos hope to achieve is the same as what noah wants to achieve. basically just destroy the world cause "god" was oppressing. Even when shulk hoped for a world with no gods the people decided to make a god which was moebius and linger in the "endless now"
Basically persona and smt apocalypse harmony ending in a nutshell
I am so mad, everyone saying they were going crazy when they heard the line, but when Xenoblade 2 came out I wanted to play it but i didn't have the first one, so I looked up if I needed to play the first one and some dumbass said no, they are not connected.....
I mean yeah... that’s kinda sad. To be fair it doesn’t show that they’re connected until the last moment of the game. Also kinda lame ig cause that’s major Xenoblade one spoilers too :(
@@finestcustard5647 I looked for the answer to my question quite a while after the game had come out, many people had completed it, had to ovoid them for spoilers, so that person shouldn't have said anything unless he finished the game or he knew the ending and thought it didn't mean anything, worst person to be answering that question, AKA, a dumbass...
The connection is very small. Aside from this literal one scene, Xenoblade 2 works completely fine as your first game in the series. If Xenoblade 1 came out second then stuff like Klaus’ other half, and where Ontos went, would just be sequel-bait mysteries. And it’s not as though this line specifically spoils anything, nor are people likely to remember it through the massive journey of XB1.
@@LoudWaffle Nah, not small enough to be labeled as not having to play the first game, you get a different mind set and reveal would have been more satisfying, and when I played the first one finally, I could've had a better experience in the end not knowing/waiting for him to say the line.
@@the-pezinator The person who said no was quoting the devs of Xenoblade 2. They said that you don't need to have played the first game to understand or enjoy the second game.
Also, that sounds like a you problem. The impact of the line doesn't change whether you know the line exists or not. The impact comes from the fact that you are at the end of the journey and are clearing the final enemy. If you feel that you got cheated out of that impact because you _heard_ (emphasis on you just hearing the line with nothing else) the line, then you need to adjust your mind set.
Two fantastic games; I cannot WAIT to see what a potential XCX remake would be like. I mean, XC:DE fixed all the issues I had with the original, making it actually enjoyable to play (it's not perfect; it didn't port over XC2's Unique Monster graves, after all, and some gear Appearances are stupidly permanently-missable, due to shops no longer stocking the relevant equipment or a certain titanic area being destroyed, eliminating the enemies that dropped that gear), so I'd like XCX:DE to do the same.
Maybe zanza is the part of klaus that took all the negative traits leaving a guilty klaus
that´s literally what happened
I think it’s cause Zanza got what he wanted and the architect lost everything. I don’t think Zanza just took the negative traits.
@@bradyyt6767 Yeah, Klaus is a bad guy. He killed billions just to see what would happen, against the protests of his colleagues, then spent the next era desperately trying to put everything back together while crafting some noble reasoning for his actions.
SPOILERS FOR XC3 FR:
There's a reason why they call Shulk the Godcleaver-
"no gods or kings, only man" Andrew Ryan
Malos's VA: 10/10
Shulk's VA: 10/10
Rex's VA: 10/10 (surprised)
Final bosses: 9/10 (screw you Prometheus)
Lol Zanza phase 2 is also a right pain
Yeah, Rex's VA did pretty good during the final battle, I was pleasantly surprised.
Malos is a 100/10 you rated him wrong reee
"why are you crying?"
PEAK FICTION IS COMING WITH XENOBLADE 3 LET'S FUCKING GOOOOOOO!
Jin and alvis are both character playing mercury. These game encoded so much about the sky. The 2nd spiritual sun we don’t see ego or egil and sanza like sonson on sanza stark same actress played phoenix and dark phoenix 2nd sun we don’t see. And did you notice the cut part of the game was the bionis shoulder or titans neck
They need to make one more Xenoblade game where the main character is like the bridge between these two stories
I assume there will be a game with Klaus and Galea’s reincarnation being the protagonists at some point
AKA: The inciting Incident of Xenoblade Chronicles 3.
xc de finale with drifting soul is just perfect
And thus, XC3 came to be
(No spoilers tho plz I'm just guessing lol)
The song from XC2 suits the scene in XC
XC2 was my first Xenoblade game, so I had NO IDEA what was even going on with Klaus.........until I heard Shulk's voice (only recognized him cuz of Smash). Then I also realized Klaus sounds like Shulk as well so my mind was going crazy lol. So then I somehow put it together that the other half of Klaus was either Shulk about to finish the game, or he was the final boss that Shulk was about to kill. But holy shit how did I guess that right. I really got to play XC1 now, considering XC3 (unless I shouldnt and play as if I was part of the XC2 world and wonder wtf the other half of the characters are talking about, and understanding what the other half are saying lol)
This is the moment Klaus becomes dead
Still wondering why they didn’t change the scene where Klaus destroyed the world
They did change it? And why would you want them to? The earth was destroyed and Klaus tried to recreate the world and that's Xenoblade 2's world.
@@poolemon9016 They meant changing the scene in Definitive edition to match how it worked in 2. The two scenes sort of contradict one another, both the scene at the end of the original, and the beginning of Chapter 10 in 2. However, it can be chalked up easily as Alvis not knowing entirely what happened before the world was destroyed and remade.
@@voidoflight2420 either that or considering that XB1 world didn't have enough time, Alvis just told the information that was relevant at the moment.
@@Linkaro2 That is also true, given that Alvis was trying to hurry him along the whole time in order to make his decision.
I fuckin ascended out of my chair when I heard this
This Is THE MOMENT
This shit blew my mind when I first saw it. This scene was stuck in my head for weeks, and I was blown away by how they connected the two games.
10/10 experience, would gladly play again.
It’s just a shame that Xenoblade DE didn’t do something similar to connect it to the end of XB2.
Well, it was XC2's job to expand the lore of XC1, and XCDE IS XC1. That's why the game doesn't have any changes other than Alvis' key being replaced by Ontos' Core Crystal.
Here before the end of Xenoblade 3 that probably somehow links to this
And if that happens take for sure I’ll upload a new video showing that
Doesn't link at all, its disappointing unfortunately...
@@xoGenesisox maybe with the DLC
Man this make me more hype for whenever Xenoblade 3 is announced
E3 is in a few days im hoping it gets announced
A little more than a month left
I am monado, I was here at the beginning, and I will proclaim the end
The only moment in the game i regretted playing in japanese
Nah.
dang this game looks pretty banging i should buy it
Which one? Lol both are fantastic
i dont remember commenting this at all lmao
i've got XC:DE n im playin through it rn its pretty good
@@borg8303 character development
My destiny was a seizure.
lol if you don’t play the first game, you’ll wonder why the Architect is suddenly talking with a more youthful voice and talking about felling a god.
