    By the way a very small cute little detail not many did catch at the end was, when Eunie said Taion is her fourth best buddy it actually meant that he is her best buddy or love interest since Eunie loves the number 4 as pictured when she said that 4 leaf clovers are her lucky charm, thats why he is "just" 4th because Taion is her lucky charm :3

    There's a bit during the Crys cutscenes where he says...
    > In their fragility... they crave only the “now”.
    > Fearing to tread even a single step towards the future...
    That bit hit me hard, because to me, it's what the whole game is about. Living life so afraid of losing what you currently have, that you've closed off any opportunities for new things. Trying to keep things the same just leads to stagnation, creating a life that slowly deteriorates, just as Aionios does.

      Before I played this game I used to overlook flutes in favour of appreciating other wind instruments, both due to their less common or significant appearances in other soundtracks and their small size in comparison to most other wind instruments.

      They want to see the happy ending. But they ignore the fact that if they did that, that would ruin the whole message of "even if life sucks or the future is not certain, walk on."
      The whole "walk on" message imo was the perfect way to end this game. They all chose to fight together in the end knowing they have no idea what the future holds. But no matter what, "walk on."

The ending of XC3 is wild; yet it still left me with so many questions. With DLC on the horizon I cannot WAIT to see how MonolithSoft concludes this story.

    I have watched a pretty good number of people play games like Xenoblade, Tales of Arise, Genshin etc. that have emotional stories, as I love seeing other people experience them, and then of those, there are some I will rewatch because their playthroughs are really special. Sarah, you're consistently my favorite of all of them. I feel like your opinions/interests and your experience of these games are the closest to my own, and based on the views you get I'm quite sure I'm not alone in saying this. So when you question why everyone is watching you play these games, hopefully that answers that somewhat. I know that probably won't stop you from having doubts but I still felt I had to say it. Looking forward to what's next! (And hopefully Tales of Arise videos one day?)

      The only reason my boyfriend is playing Xenoblade Chronicles is because of me. He grew up playing video games and doesn't like the gameplay in Definite Edition. He said "it's a great movie, but it's a terrible game." 😭 I get where he's coming from when he explains "if I'm going to play a game, I want to play a game. If I want to watch a movie, I'll watch a movie. If I want to play a game, I want to PLAY A GAME." He's still playing it. But we're planning on just watching Xenoblade Chronicles 2 as a movie split into chapters. He will be playing Xenoblade Chronicles 3 though and I hope he likes it more. The gameplay in 3 (sidequests, battle system, exploration) is better than 1 in my opinion.

      @@leahtheanimationfan40 I think a lot of people didn’t grow up with games like these. Most people grew up with simple action and platform games with minimal story that allow them to have control all the time. To most people that’s what games are. I hope that some day the idea of what a game is or should be expands for people. Personally I couldn’t go back to other games after playing games like Final Fantasy, Xenoblade, Persona and others, I couldn’t go back to other simple games. These games are such beautiful experiences and they should be appreciated more.

    Over the course of last year I play the Xenoblade Chronicles series for the first time, and it truly changed my life. No game series had ever given me such a visceral reaction and it has truly become one of my favorite game series of all time. I watched your playthrough of 3 to prepare for Future Redeemed, and it's out now. Thank you for taking back through this journey, it's been so fun and I can't wait to see your video on the DLC.

    I love people coming around to the ending. I was initially upset too that it ended on such a bittersweet note, but the more I thought about it, the more it made sense. The worlds needed to continue past that impact they were frozen on, and like Noah said, we don't truly know what will happen after the collision. The biggest in game speculation is that the worlds will drift apart again, and while we do see that in the ending, we don't know to what extent they drifted.
    Origin itself was described as a library of light, encoded with all the worlds data that, after the collision, would put the worlds back together in correlation to how they were originally recorded, i.e. Origin was a backup save. That's why they reboot as children right at that moment. That's why a lot of locations were reset as well, because that's how they were recorded in Origin. But that doesn't mean that the two worlds are completely disconnected now.
    Spoilers for that 45 sec teaser of the DLC Story and Post Game:
    With us seeing Rex and Shulk that old, especially seeing Rex old when the picture we saw of him was when he was younger, it's almost safe to say the DLC story is an epilogue. I have this theory that Z, when making Aionios and choosing the souls to enter that flow and sustain the world with their life, he specifically chose not to resurrect the recordings of Rex or Shulk, any of the other main cast members, and more specifically any adults, because of their knowledge of the worlds before Aionios (which could potentially make it harder for them to believe in the world of Aionios). They only chose children and teens since they'd be more easy to manipulate. The only reason they needed Melia and Nia was because they were the keys to controlling Origin.
    To add on further info, Mio is heavily hinted at being Nia and Rex's child from the Post game content. For Mio to fall under those parameters to be picked for Aionios, she'd need to be fairly young, meaning the collision couldn't have been more than 10 years after her birth. Which would age Rex up more in line with the DLC story, and could be the only hole in possibly making this a prologue and not an epilogue. But I still think that big of an age difference for Rex is closer to 20 than 10 from that picture..
    Additionally, what else would cause Alvis to go rogue like that if not because of the two worlds merging again and Alvis's core crystal resonating with the two other Aegis'. Or potentially something worse.. idk the whole motivation for it yet. I also feel like because we saw Bionis' leg and the bridge in that teasing shot that it has to be after. If Rex and Shulk are interacting in the same place in a world where the locations that are not Aionios, it has to be after the collision.
    Thanks for reading this and letting me word dump.

      I really hope that it's an epilogue, or at least INCLUDES an epilogue. I'd be fine with it being prequel + epilogue, or maybe some time jumping. I just hope it's not solely a prequel because I need to see these characters reunite 😭

    I was waiting for your reaction to the ending! The ending of XC3 was so good, and yet SO heartbreaking with all that went on, especially seeing the gang say their last goodbyes. All that’s left to truly tie everything together is that Wave 4 DLC story… hoping it has an ending as good as the base game.

    The hero you have with you stays which whichever side they were on when you get split up. So since she had Riku and Manana they went with the keves crew. Since I had Fiona with me she joined in with the agnus crew instead.
