I played this song at my mother's funeral and the people who put it together played it at the end before everyone left to go to the cemetery. I got so many people complementing me on my song choice. Now this song holds even more meaning than it did before.
@@ItsmeKat404 Seeing how one of the last conversations I had with her was us talking about how she didn't know how good video game music was/could be it was also fitting in that way.
I played “One Last You” at my grandma’s virtual funeral during the heat of the pandemic. This entire OST is simply beautiful and I’m sure the ceremony matched equally. I hope you’ve found peace with yourself and this song can help remind you of the wonderful women she was to you every time you hear it.
In the course of a lifetime, a man will see uncountable meetings and partings. Yet as your life's candle sputters and dies, whose face is it that rises to greet you? Happy is the man that can sleep in the comfort of the smile he sees then. No, I don't wish for "forever." Even for just one moment, it's enough if it's with her. And yet what is the man to do that has not been afforded that chance? The road stretches on without end. I can not but walk down it. As long as I keep walking, I can hold that hope that one day, the time may come when I see her smile again. That hope keeps me afloat.
Honestly, no other game I’ve played had multiple moments where I’ve broken down and cried like XC2. And this is among the few games where I’ve felt emotion towards the villains. Spoilers: Lora was Jin’s everything. Her death left him lost, and broken. He wandered for years, seeking a place to belong, but he couldn’t find it. He couldn’t live without her, but he couldn’t die because he promised to keep her memory alive. He grew to despise the world, for it was brutal, and unforgiving. Evil lurked in the hearts of man, which he saw plainly as they used blades as tools, and killed one another everywhere. He made many terrible choices, destroyed many innocent lives, because he saw only the darkness in humanity’s heart, and wished to be rid of it. But as he fought with Rex that final time, he was made to realize there is still hope. He was able to forgive the world for his great loss, and chose to finish what they had started all those years ago; Stopping Malos. He was able to find his peace, knowing that others would remember his story. What a splendid soul you were, Jin.
Actually the last sentence with combination with the song is heart breaking. Both, the main game and DLC was the best thing I've ever played to be honest. It's a true masterpiece. Even though Torna's system of "you have to do sidequests to continue" annoyed me quite a bit.
Dultus yep. Though I began tearing up by the first section, and the second chorus got me bawling my eyes out. I haven’t had the heart (or the time) to finish Torna yet, but for this to hit me so hard despite that is amazing.
The name of this song is "moment of eternity" It's sung from loras perspective to jin. 500 years later, one of jins arts is called "empty moment" .......feels bad man..
I can totally see the Lora to Jin perspective. Although, to me, I mostly see it from Addam's perspective toward Mythra despite it being a female singer. But I can see both pairs fitting well with the song.
"Promise me you'll walk again, won't you show me that smile? And I know someday you'll find that someone to help you move on" is 100% referring to Rex redeeming Jin or just Jin joining Malos
The ending of the song could just as easily represent Addam talking to Mythra, considering the fact that Mythra needed Rex's support to move on from the past and stop fearing her power.
It's likely primarily targeting Jin and Lora's story but it likely isn't a full coincidence that the state of Mythra and the message of this song does apply to what Addam wanted for Mythra as well for the most part.
You see, Malos stated that words were powerful, and Lora ultimately condemned Jin to a life of solitude when she accepted his proposal to become a flesh eater. This song, however, expresses her true feelings. Pay attention to the lyrics. She basically begs him to remember all the good moments they shared, while also walking his path until he finds someone to fill the gap in his heart. Lora never wanted Jin to live in the past, all she wanted was him to grow, while keeping her close to his heart. "Don't forget... don't look back...". I hope he realized that on his last moments, since he had such a beautiful and content smile. Honestly, this dlc really accomplished the mission to give Jin one of the most deep stories of all the cast.
funny enough this counts for all the Torna Blades including Mythra and Minoth, its only in the present they found the one that would help them move on from the past, Mythra with Rex and Minoth with the little girl he looks after in Uraya Aegeon and Bridgid reset after Hugo died so they're lucky, despite their loyalty and love for him, returning to their core frees them of their Burden but not the blades that are forced to remember, they can't forget their old memories but Addam and Lora never wanted their blades to stay hurt they always wanted their partners to be happy, and while Haze was killed by Jin she never hated him in her final moments like she just remembered something deep in her soul that Jin wasn't doing it out of hatred but out of love for his previous ally and Partner of Lora
Yeah, it is also sharply contrasted with Mikhail, who lost just about as much as Jin during the Aegis wars but actually chose to keep the best of his memories of Milton and Lora instead of wallowing in the pain of their loss. He's the first member of torna to aid Rex and the rest of the party and the only one to do so without any coaxing whatsoever from Rex or any of his allies. It really is the real tragedy of Jin and Malos, that if things had been just a bit different and they had someone to help them during their lowest, things could've turned out much different for them.
Wind goes passing by Through the sunset sky This wind will carry lots of memories When you'll look around You won't see me anywhere But you will feel in the air that I am there For a time, I will be away With the wind gusting along I'll just say it won't be too long Soon enough we will meet one day Sentimentally, the time will pass us by And all we shared was a moment, I know But that moment will shine us through to the sky So don't look back, let the moment be forever Speed of time was different for us Not to say that was all bad Nonetheless those moments we've treasured Will be carved into stone eternally So please never forget All the precious time we shared The warmth of your hands Don't forget, don't look back, I'll be there Promise me that you'll walk again Won't you show me that smile? And I know, you will find that someone Who will help you move on Since that day you came and took my hand Our story began So don't be scared to reach out for someone I know you will be fine, Just go on
I think since Jin knows a lot about how a driver influences the blade he saw Malos as someone who is lost and like Jin himself a victim of the man who has been playing all the pieces of the game who is Amalthus
@@linusmota9712 I feel like in the end Jin learned to lean on another person after Lora died even if it was Malos. When malos says “you’re like me” to him I believe it’s that they were both lost, alone, and filled with rage. The game really shoves the “power of friendship” but it works for the bad guys too. Only when you’re alone is when you lose.
@@Logos_369 Honestly it makes sense why Jin named their group Torna since for him it was the first time since the destruction of torna he didn't feel alone
I think the theme of this song gives real closure to TTGC. The game itself is a very sad story, but the credits let the player reflect on the storyline importance of the game they just played, while heeding to the introduction of Xenoblade Chronicles 2. Makes me wonder what impact they would have on a player going through TTGC first.
Originally torna was going to be a chapter in the original game that took place between chapters 7 and 8, that’s when I played it on my NG+ route and it does help the game flow super nicely tbh
@@CalebFan-ge1mn I think as a gameplay standpoint, it’s not a good idea to add golden country in the middle of 7 and 8, but from a story flow perspective as a second play through, it’s pretty good
I did that, (played Torna first) and stupid ole me didn’t realize what core crystals were, but still recognized that they meant my boy Hugo is dead (will never forget him). Aside from that, it was pretty standalone, aside from the ending, where I didn’t realize Lora died, but figured something like that happened. It makes the beginning of the base game very very interesting, gives me lots of questions. Haze’s whole arc hit hard, and Jin’s death was especially sad. I connected the dots I didn’t get in Torna retrospectively, so everything made sense in the end.
Honestly, almost all the good games these days are super depressing with a lot of loss but that's what makes the games good. They immerse you in their world so that when you do experience a loss in the game it makes it that much more emotional and sad :(. The ending of Torna really really did fuck me up so bad...
After finishing this I was in tears. Poor jin lost the person that meant the world to him had to suffer for 500 years not wanting to die just to keep her memory alive. During his final moments in the main game the way he just stares off meaning that he sees her and goes to be with her as he passes on.
I can't address how much this ending makes me feel a bunch of different emotions. I played the Torna DLC way after it's release and my first playthrough of it and i decided to try to 100% it if possible (i was pretty close actually except for the golden monster hunt). In the base game I didn't really concentrated on side quest that much because I didn't find them interesting enough to waste my time on them (I did some but definitely not all) and now after my playthrough of Torna I think I made a huge mistake on that part. Doing all the Sidequests in the DLC seeing everyone's Story and how in the end it comes together in one huge community for you to look after, I think I can't quite put it in words of how for filling it feels. But knowing what happens to Torna and it's destruction on the hands of the Aegisis was always in my mind while playing through it. I thought that everything I will do will be futile at the end. That I can't save everyone... ... ... Only too find out that you actually do. In the last cutscenes of the game you can see several people from your community on that boot. And in the credits you see most of Torna somehow survived in a little camp. I start crying when I saw that because of how I felt rewarded for investing my time into it... ... ... But I completely forget what scene this was... ... ... The last remaining hours of Torna before Amalthus troops show up to kill them all. And I just sat there looking at my TV in total disbelief. I mean like I said above I knew it was coming... But not how hard it could still hit me. So yeah I love this DLC and it will probably be my favorite expansion of a game ever. PS: FUCK AMALTHUS!!!
Not by the ending but like three times a week after I tried to listen to this song and I legitimately couldn’t get trough the 2min mark with breaking down in tears keep in mind I tried trice
Seeing Rex with his derpy fave at the end made me bawl like a baby. I just sat there like "It's up to you now buddy, please make things right" and of course he does eventually make everything right
The more I listen to this song, the sadder it makes me feel. Especially when thinking back to Lora's line as she was dying, where she said that her scariest thought at that moment was that Jin would never remember who she was
Literally feel like crying for several days after finishing the game. After over 150 hours given to Xenoblade 2 I can't even begin to describe the emotions that overwhelm me. Part of me is this game, I will never feel a just and final conclusion to this story. Seriously crushed inside, shaking on the outside, and still wishing for more. I love this game. If you haven't played this game I would pay out of my own pocket for you to play it, if I could. However I can't, so please play it, and fall in love with it as I have. Man I have never been one to really want a character to be in smash, but if I don't get a Xenoblade 2 rep, I think I will die a little on the inside.
If they ever do eventually add one, out of respect for this game, I'd say Jin. Playing both this game and Xenoblade 2 gives him basically one of the best character arcs for a villain in any jrpg, he's a main character here, and he has enough different abilities that it'd be easy to give him a unique moveset.
Before this game, I never thought the ending of a prequel would have me crying and screaming at a screen, mainly because you know how it’s going to end… but this game. This game as a whole unleashed some emotional shackles I subconsciously locked away for years. These final 5 minutes you get after being hit with a “Well at least it can’t get any worse right? Right?” But no, this DLC was personally one of the best prequels i’ve ever experienced as it brought many emotions out of me I needed to feel in a long time. Xenoblade 2 was my first introduction to Xenoblade at the beginning of 2023, and it’s made me realise of how this franchise is under appreciated and sometimes misunderstood by the general gaming community. TLDR: Torna The Golden Country was an incredible story for me, for making me show emotions I never thought i’d show ever again from a narrative work
Happy 4 years of Torna, one of the best "DLCs" of all time that's actually just an entire game. An excellent addition to the Xenoblade 2 story and a great experience even on it's own. Some of the best scenes in the series, an incredible final boss and a beautiful ending. Peak gaming and peak art.
I cried more then I did in any other game in xenoblade 2. The story is so deep, so perfect, the characters are legendary. Up there with the Witcher 3 for me❤️
I just broke with my girlfriend, we had good moment but we had to part ways for our own good. I will always be grateful for everything, but I wish to have one last moment with her.
lyrics A Moment of Eternity Wind goes passing by through the sunset sky This wind will carry lots of memories When you’ll look around you won’t see me anywhere But you will feel in the air that I am there For a time, I will be away With the wind gusting along I’ll just say it won’t be too long Soon enough we will meet one day Sentimentally, the time will pass us by And all we shared was a moment, I know But that moment will shine us through to the sky So don’t look back, let the moment be forever Speed of time was different for us Not to say that was all bad Nonetheless those moments we’ve treasured Will be carved into stone eternally So please never forget All the precious time we shared The warmth of your hands Don’t forget, don’t look back, I’ll be there Promise me that you’ll walk again Won’t you show me that smile? And I know, you will find that someone Who will help you move on Since that day you came and took my hand Our story began So don’t be scared to reach out for someone I know you will be fine, just go on
I finished this DLC around a year after I finished the full game, so I already had some nostalgia for the original game. Then when this song came on I hard three reactions (SPOILERS) : - Thought: Man this could be a Disney song just sayin' - I literally CRIED at the end there when they showed Rex arriving to get Pyra, with that beautiful violin melody in the background, and then the title screen change - Thought: The lyrics are so sad cause reality is, he never really moved on. Maybe at the very end there, but what does that really mean when he died right after. Matter of fact is he never found that someone that helped him move on. Maybe Rex is that person arguably, but honestly the person he really met was Malos, and he just made Jin's resentment worse. Tragic....
I just finished playing torna and I'm a loss for words. I'm in the same boat that a lot of people have left in the comment section about of mix of emotions. The way this game ended maybe feel so sad for Jin and Myhtra and a huge amount of anger for Malos and Amalthus. But I took comfort Knowing that Rex would come along and set things right and I'm just getting started my playthrough of Xenoblade 3 (no spoilers please)! And this song got me in the feels. Beautiful and somber.
Man... I felt so many feelings about my first playthrough. A lot of sadness at the story. A lot of bliss at the new world. A lot of pain tied to the community and the golden monsters. But most importantly bliss that the suffering inside was over. ...this game is fucking special. I hope this cart of mine never breaks...
Get ready for this.... Pyra knew her whole life's goal was to die. Until like chapter 8 lol. Thats 10000000000000000000000000% more traumatizing than what Mythra went through.
Meh. mythra murdered tons of innocent people and saw someone who watched someone die who saw as a younger brother not to mention hugo and the blades dying which she had grown to care for a bit. Being born just to die like not that traumatizing since death is inevitable and as an aegis it makes sense they would long for it besides pyra does say she wouldnt mind dying if it was with someone she cared about which i mean if she died either itd be with her sister who she cares for.
This is so special, it perfectly captures what it like to lose someone you love so much, but still it so bitter sweet because the song itself it's like her telling me everything will be fine and I should learn how to smile again, that's why i adore it so much
torna made me feel in.love even more with the whole xenoblade 2. the song fits perfectly with the ending scenes. we cant desconsider that. its a masterpiece, a really piece of ART. this game had the same impact on me like final fantasy vii and x did in the past, like metal gear solid 3. i am happy that i had the chance tô experiênce this and i cant leave behind, i want to Go back and feel this again. thank you monolith.
I played this game when my wife gave birth to my daughter, and the relationship between Adam and Mythra was perfect for getting me ready for fatherhood.
We just put my dog down today, I had him for 12 years, I was 5 when I got him, I'm now 17 going on 18. I'm going to miss him so much. I came to this song to help.
I hope 3 is just as amazing but to be honest, I'm kind of worried after Future Connected. I know it was just a short 10 hour game they threw in for free, but In my opinion, It was definitely not on the same level as 1,2, and Torna.
What do you think of 3 now? In my opinion It was in the same level of sadness, especially Chapter 5 and 6 opening then Chapter 7 ending The only issue is that most deaths are kinda meaningless thanks to the endless now(the game kinda makes it on purpose but i still don't like how they brought back those characters in Mio's side story, i think it would be way better if they were kept out of the cycle afther she played the off seer song)
Honestly that moment where Jin burns the house with the last remnant of his past life along with the photo taken in the game just crushed me. Shit hits me more than most the moments of Xenoblade 3.
Xenoblade 3 Spoiler After Xenoblade 3, this song sounds like M telling N after she died, that wants him to move on and for him to stop being moebius and be the man he use to be and she still loves him. And that they will reunite in another life. And also sounds like the ending of Mio talking to Noah that they will see each other again.
Pretty much ALL of the previous lyrical songs of the Xenoblade Franchise fit WAAAAAY too well onto XC3, it's as if they'd planned it all from the starts, these clever bastards of Monolith Soft and I freaking ADORE them for that genious level of Foresight......wait....Foresight..... DAMN! THEY POSESS A TRUE MONADO!
@@_shadow_8793 Bought it day one and just powered through it in like a week and a half. I know a lot of people just downloaded it after it leaked before release though
I still find it hard to believe that they are not making another Xenoblade Chronicles game or a spin off. The Xenoblade series is monoliths's golden goose. Let's hope Project Legacy don't disappoint, I can see them going back to the Xenoblade Chronicles series if that fails, though.
it's been years but man torna didn't need to do this to us. like i knew going in it was going to be sad. but i didn't know it was going to be THAT sad lol.
Thanks for doing this! I’d made my own version that I didn’t have anywhere to upload to and I have absolutely no idea why none of the music channels that post these songs have uploaded a fixed version of this.
I think at its absolute core xenoblade 2 is about mistakes and how mistakes shape people like amalthus malos and in some cases all of the world itself with mythra at the end of the game TTGC is about mistakes and the effect of them on the world and xc2 is all about moving past those mistakes such spoliers as amalthuses dying thoughts jins last act and malos in his final words and of course the aegis itself but thats just my thoughts
Fun fact: in Special Relativity, light-speed travel is equivalent to teleportation to an outside observer. For the one performing it, the effect is equivalent to time stop, effectively stretching out a single moment. A "moment of eternity" perhaps? ;)
I always interpreted this song as what Lora wished she could've said to Jin in her dying moments, what could've saved him from centuries of suffering if her desperation to be remembered by the world didn't drag him down. Of course, the lyrics don't exactly support that theory in a lot of areas but it still makes it seem more poignant. Edit: Lora didn't want to be forgotten by the world, but she wanted to be forgotten by Jin, because she didn't want him putting on a tough expression and enduring many more years of pain as the guy everyone relied on. That's what the song is about.
Continuing the grand Xenoblade Chronicles tradition of the female lead singing a song about/towards the male lead. Also getting better each time - Beyond the Sky is a good song but not nearly as close to the story and character as One Last You and A Moment Of Eternity is just ... the perfect capstone for Lora/Jin and Torna. (X doesn't have a lead couple and Cross has no characterization and the original pre-pseudo-MMO plot had no Cross and ELMA as the lead so ... yeah no neither Lin nor Celica singing to Elma was going to happen.)
One last you is kinda meh, but walking with you is amazing, and beyond the sky I can only listen to if I feel like crying Xcxs ending is just a banger tho lol
I'm not even kidding at all. I want this played at my funeral when I die. It's exactly the kind of message I'd want to send people after I'm gone. Move forward, live, I know it's sad but you can't give up and let sorrow defeat you. Let me see your smile, let me know you'll all be ok when I'm gone...

:(
....i thought that was a cool move but now it's one of the saddest things i've ever heard....
He is a sad sad boy
Also Stunned Swallow, and Swallows flight
Also this song is definitely sung from Lora's perspective to Jin at the end of the game. This makes it 100% sadder
it can also be perceived as it being sung by pyra/mythra, though this is more of a stretch.
It's being sung when Jin is reaching toward Malos, and she is encouraging him to do it if he must.
"A *moment* of eternity"
"Empty *moment"*

Mythra and Jin made me cry like a bitch.
I think it’s from Lora’s perspective to Jin but I think that’s definitely intended to also kinda fit

funny enough this counts for all the Torna Blades
including Mythra and Minoth, its only in the present they found the one that would help them move on from the past, Mythra with Rex and Minoth with the little girl he looks after in Uraya
Aegeon and Bridgid reset after Hugo died so they're lucky, despite their loyalty and love for him, returning to their core frees them of their Burden but not the blades that are forced to remember, they can't forget their old memories but Addam and Lora never wanted their blades to stay hurt they always wanted their partners to be happy, and while Haze was killed by Jin she never hated him in her final moments like she just remembered something deep in her soul that Jin wasn't doing it out of hatred but out of love for his previous ally and Partner of Lora
@@sdbzfan1 yeah the Haze death scene makes me so sad bc Jin just doesn’t want her to suffer anymore 😭😭
Yeah, it is also sharply contrasted with Mikhail, who lost just about as much as Jin during the Aegis wars but actually chose to keep the best of his memories of Milton and Lora instead of wallowing in the pain of their loss. He's the first member of torna to aid Rex and the rest of the party and the only one to do so without any coaxing whatsoever from Rex or any of his allies.
It really is the real tragedy of Jin and Malos, that if things had been just a bit different and they had someone to help them during their lowest, things could've turned out much different for them.

Wind goes passing by
Through the sunset sky
This wind will carry lots of memories
When you'll look around
You won't see me anywhere
But you will feel in the air that I am there
For a time, I will be away
With the wind gusting along
I'll just say it won't be too long
Soon enough we will meet one day
Sentimentally, the time will pass us by
And all we shared was a moment, I know
But that moment will shine us through to the sky
So don't look back, let the moment be forever
Speed of time was different for us
Not to say that was all bad
Nonetheless those moments we've treasured
Will be carved into stone eternally
So please never forget
All the precious time we shared
The warmth of your hands
Don't forget, don't look back, I'll be there
Promise me that you'll walk again
Won't you show me that smile?
And I know, you will find that someone
Who will help you move on
Since that day you came and took my hand
Our story began
So don't be scared to reach out for someone
I know you will be fine,
Just go on
You've done a good service and helped many tears flow.
You are a good man. Thank you.
Thanks!
From japan
@@スマトラトラ-n6c I Love Japan!! ❤️
If I could get community to 4
I could battle Malos once more
I don't have the Superstrength and Focus to progress
So I'll sit here and be depressed
Lora: Reach out for someone and you will be fine
Jin reached out for Malos. Big oof right there
I think since Jin knows a lot about how a driver influences the blade he saw Malos as someone who is lost and like Jin himself a victim of the man who has been playing all the pieces of the game who is Amalthus
@@linusmota9712 I feel like in the end Jin learned to lean on another person after Lora died even if it was Malos. When malos says “you’re like me” to him I believe it’s that they were both lost, alone, and filled with rage. The game really shoves the “power of friendship” but it works for the bad guys too. Only when you’re alone is when you lose.
@@Logos_369 Honestly it makes sense why Jin named their group Torna since for him it was the first time since the destruction of torna he didn't feel alone
Im almost certain that reaching out for malos is the path that led to his redemption and peace
Reach for my hand
I’ll soar away
I love the bit of Jin's theme at 3:24
I think the theme of this song gives real closure to TTGC. The game itself is a very sad story, but the credits let the player reflect on the storyline importance of the game they just played, while heeding to the introduction of Xenoblade Chronicles 2. Makes me wonder what impact they would have on a player going through TTGC first.
I’m doing just that with a friend of mine.
Originally torna was going to be a chapter in the original game that took place between chapters 7 and 8, that’s when I played it on my NG+ route and it does help the game flow super nicely tbh
I, play torna first and seen how jin ends hurts a lot
@@CalebFan-ge1mn I think as a gameplay standpoint, it’s not a good idea to add golden country in the middle of 7 and 8, but from a story flow perspective as a second play through, it’s pretty good
I did that, (played Torna first) and stupid ole me didn’t realize what core crystals were, but still recognized that they meant my boy Hugo is dead (will never forget him). Aside from that, it was pretty standalone, aside from the ending, where I didn’t realize Lora died, but figured something like that happened. It makes the beginning of the base game very very interesting, gives me lots of questions. Haze’s whole arc hit hard, and Jin’s death was especially sad. I connected the dots I didn’t get in Torna retrospectively, so everything made sense in the end.
This entire song was foreshadowing all along.
Why is this game so damn depressing my heart can't take it
Honestly, almost all the good games these days are super depressing with a lot of loss but that's what makes the games good. They immerse you in their world so that when you do experience a loss in the game it makes it that much more emotional and sad :(. The ending of Torna really really did fuck me up so bad...
well, we all knew this was coming when they announced it.
Because frick you that's why xd
After finishing this I was in tears.
Poor jin lost the person that meant the world to him had to suffer for 500 years not wanting to die just to keep her memory alive.
During his final moments in the main game the way he just stares off meaning that he sees her and goes to be with her as he passes on.
I can't address how much this ending makes me feel a bunch of different emotions.
I played the Torna DLC way after it's release and my first playthrough of it and i decided to try to 100% it if possible (i was pretty close actually except for the golden monster hunt). In the base game I didn't really concentrated on side quest that much because I didn't find them interesting enough to waste my time on them (I did some but definitely not all) and now after my playthrough of Torna I think I made a huge mistake on that part.
Doing all the Sidequests in the DLC seeing everyone's Story and how in the end it comes together in one huge community for you to look after, I think I can't quite put it in words of how for filling it feels.
But knowing what happens to Torna and it's destruction on the hands of the Aegisis was always in my mind while playing through it. I thought that everything I will do will be futile at the end. That I can't save everyone... ... ... Only too find out that you actually do. In the last cutscenes of the game you can see several people from your community on that boot. And in the credits you see most of Torna somehow survived in a little camp. I start crying when I saw that because of how I felt rewarded for investing my time into it... ... ... But I completely forget what scene this was... ... ... The last remaining hours of Torna before Amalthus troops show up to kill them all.
And I just sat there looking at my TV in total disbelief. I mean like I said above I knew it was coming... But not how hard it could still hit me.
So yeah I love this DLC and it will probably be my favorite expansion of a game ever.
PS: FUCK AMALTHUS!!!
J. V. Amen
FUCK AMALTHUS
Just finished the DLC today and... FUCK AMALTHUS
@@fabriziogonz i finished the game when i made the comment above
What did he do again
Anybody cry especially to this ending? Rex showing up at the end made it hit even harder for me.
Not by the ending but like three times a week after I tried to listen to this song and I legitimately couldn’t get trough the 2min mark with breaking down in tears keep in mind I tried trice
How couldn’t I 😭
We ALL cried
I ain't really much of a crier so I didn't cry but I was so in shocked that I legit forgot how to breathe for 5 seconds
Seeing Rex with his derpy fave at the end made me bawl like a baby. I just sat there like "It's up to you now buddy, please make things right" and of course he does eventually make everything right
The more I listen to this song, the sadder it makes me feel. Especially when thinking back to Lora's line as she was dying, where she said that her scariest thought at that moment was that Jin would never remember who she was
Literally feel like crying for several days after finishing the game. After over 150 hours given to Xenoblade 2 I can't even begin to describe the emotions that overwhelm me. Part of me is this game, I will never feel a just and final conclusion to this story. Seriously crushed inside, shaking on the outside, and still wishing for more. I love this game. If you haven't played this game I would pay out of my own pocket for you to play it, if I could. However I can't, so please play it, and fall in love with it as I have. Man I have never been one to really want a character to be in smash, but if I don't get a Xenoblade 2 rep, I think I will die a little on the inside.
If they ever do eventually add one, out of respect for this game, I'd say Jin. Playing both this game and Xenoblade 2 gives him basically one of the best character arcs for a villain in any jrpg, he's a main character here, and he has enough different abilities that it'd be easy to give him a unique moveset.
This is exactly what’s comin out of my heart, I’m just too lazy to say it bro
Well the time has come :)
@@JH-ec7dw IKR! I haven't played smash in forever, that's about to change. Can you believe I posted this more than 2 years ago?
@@DolusVulpes I wanted Jin too man.
I'll protect you, always.
Yami Thanks, but we're not there yet...
What a splendid soul you were, Jin
I have yet to listen to this song without crying,I just can’t you guys😭
Xenoblade is truly the best
Yea , My top 3 of Xenoblade . :) 3th : Xenoblade Chronicles 2
2s : Xenoblade Chronicles Torna
First : Xenoblade Chronicles 1 .
Before this game, I never thought the ending of a prequel would have me crying and screaming at a screen, mainly because you know how it’s going to end… but this game. This game as a whole unleashed some emotional shackles I subconsciously locked away for years. These final 5 minutes you get after being hit with a “Well at least it can’t get any worse right? Right?”
But no, this DLC was personally one of the best prequels i’ve ever experienced as it brought many emotions out of me I needed to feel in a long time. Xenoblade 2 was my first introduction to Xenoblade at the beginning of 2023, and it’s made me realise of how this franchise is under appreciated and sometimes misunderstood by the general gaming community.
TLDR: Torna The Golden Country was an incredible story for me, for making me show emotions I never thought i’d show ever again from a narrative work
Happy 4 years of Torna, one of the best "DLCs" of all time that's actually just an entire game. An excellent addition to the Xenoblade 2 story and a great experience even on it's own. Some of the best scenes in the series, an incredible final boss and a beautiful ending. Peak gaming and peak art.
I cried more then I did in any other game in xenoblade 2. The story is so deep, so perfect, the characters are legendary. Up there with the Witcher 3 for me❤️
Great I'm depressed again
Dude. THANK you. I was waiting patiently for someone to attempt to stabilise the audio levels throughout this piece. Don't know how to do it myself.
I just broke with my girlfriend, we had good moment but we had to part ways for our own good. I will always be grateful for everything, but I wish to have one last moment with her.
lyrics
A Moment of Eternity
Wind goes passing by through the sunset sky
This wind will carry lots of memories
When you’ll look around you won’t see me anywhere
But you will feel in the air that I am there
For a time, I will be away
With the wind gusting along
I’ll just say it won’t be too long
Soon enough we will meet one day
Sentimentally, the time will pass us by
And all we shared was a moment, I know
But that moment will shine us through to the sky
So don’t look back, let the moment be forever
Speed of time was different for us
Not to say that was all bad
Nonetheless those moments we’ve treasured
Will be carved into stone eternally
So please never forget
All the precious time we shared
The warmth of your hands
Don’t forget, don’t look back, I’ll be there
Promise me that you’ll walk again
Won’t you show me that smile?
And I know, you will find that someone
Who will help you move on
Since that day you came and took my hand
Our story began
So don’t be scared to reach out for someone
I know you will be fine, just go on
I’m gonna bawl my eyes out again.
Today, Chuggaaconroy finished Xenoblade Chronicles 2. Thank you Emile for all the dedication into your let’s play.
A moment of eternity, clever monolith, very clever….
I finished this DLC around a year after I finished the full game, so I already had some nostalgia for the original game.
Then when this song came on I hard three reactions (SPOILERS) :
- Thought: Man this could be a Disney song just sayin'
- I literally CRIED at the end there when they showed Rex arriving to get Pyra, with that beautiful violin melody in the background, and then the title screen change
- Thought: The lyrics are so sad cause reality is, he never really moved on. Maybe at the very end there, but what does that really mean when he died right after. Matter of fact is he never found that someone that helped him move on. Maybe Rex is that person arguably, but honestly the person he really met was Malos, and he just made Jin's resentment worse. Tragic....
I've always felt Malos was the one Jin found. Or rather, was found by.
One of the best DLC I've ever played
And Xenoblade 3 is gonna have a similar DLC with an “Extra Story Scenario”
Never realised luxin was the one who uploaded it
Happy 2nd Anniversary to Torna! :)
One of the best that I've ever played.
I just finished playing torna and I'm a loss for words. I'm in the same boat that a lot of people have left in the comment section about of mix of emotions. The way this game ended maybe feel so sad for Jin and Myhtra and a huge amount of anger for Malos and Amalthus. But I took comfort Knowing that Rex would come along and set things right and I'm just getting started my playthrough of Xenoblade 3 (no spoilers please)! And this song got me in the feels. Beautiful and somber.
Jin really was a splendid soul, crushed by the unfair nature of reality
One last you was a Love letter from Pyra/Mythra to Rex, and this one is from Lora to Jin. Heart wrenching.
Heart wrenching… too soon man, too soon
Happy birthday to one of the best stories in the series
its hard to listen to this without crying still after all this time
Man... I felt so many feelings about my first playthrough.
A lot of sadness at the story.
A lot of bliss at the new world.
A lot of pain tied to the community and the golden monsters.
But most importantly bliss that the suffering inside was over.
...this game is fucking special.
I hope this cart of mine never breaks...
This Lyrics and this tittle is clearly talking about some of the themes and conversations placed on Xenoblade 3... truly fantastic.
Get ready for this....
Pyra knew her whole life's goal was to die.
Until like chapter 8 lol.
Thats 10000000000000000000000000% more traumatizing than what Mythra went through.
Meh. mythra murdered tons of innocent people and saw someone who watched someone die who saw as a younger brother not to mention hugo and the blades dying which she had grown to care for a bit. Being born just to die like not that traumatizing since death is inevitable and as an aegis it makes sense they would long for it besides pyra does say she wouldnt mind dying if it was with someone she cared about which i mean if she died either itd be with her sister who she cares for.
This is so special, it perfectly captures what it like to lose someone you love so much, but still it so bitter sweet because the song itself it's like her telling me everything will be fine and I should learn how to smile again, that's why i adore it so much
When mythra said this isn’t real seeing auresco I broke down
Real MVP here. Thanks Luxin!
Smh get these people a Grammy. This is a video game ost.
torna made me feel in.love even more with the whole xenoblade 2. the song fits perfectly with the ending scenes. we cant desconsider that. its a masterpiece, a really piece of ART. this game had the same impact on me like final fantasy vii and x did in the past, like metal gear solid 3. i am happy that i had the chance tô experiênce this and i cant leave behind, i want to Go back and feel this again. thank you monolith.
I kind of wish Jin had proclaimed "For Lora!" as he dealt with Amalthus in the world tree... this song gets me every single time.
"For my bond"
Yeah, it would've made sense, TBH. But he was killing Amalthus for much more than just Lora, so it also kinda makes sense that he didn't say it... 🤔
I don't wish for forever. Not even for a single moment. It's enough, if it's with her.
I often find myself coming back to this song and it makes me tear up almost every single time. Such a beautiful song.
I'm not crying, YOU'RE CRYING
I played this game when my wife gave birth to my daughter, and the relationship between Adam and Mythra was perfect for getting me ready for fatherhood.
Aww this is so cute! Congrats on the baby!!!
@@Samkuso Thank you, number two is now on the way. That was 3 years ago.
@@HeroC14 and the third game comes soon, you can play the game with your child
@@Etergen. this comment is pure pain knowing what we do now lmao
@@lapotato9140 what about it, the Rex photo?
We just put my dog down today, I had him for 12 years, I was 5 when I got him, I'm now 17 going on 18. I'm going to miss him so much. I came to this song to help.
How tf does this make me wanna cry every damn time. Xeno 3 is gonna just make me commit a great flood
I hope 3 is just as amazing but to be honest, I'm kind of worried after Future Connected. I know it was just a short 10 hour game they threw in for free, but In my opinion, It was definitely not on the same level as 1,2, and Torna.
@@92058 based off the trailer of 3, I don’t think there’s anything to be worried about. But I get your worries
@@92058 i share that opinion i doubt 3 can top 2 in any way, but ill judge once we have seen more trailers lets just hope it wont be a xeno1 debacle
What do you think of 3 now?
In my opinion It was in the same level of sadness, especially Chapter 5 and 6 opening then Chapter 7 ending
The only issue is that most deaths are kinda meaningless thanks to the endless now(the game kinda makes it on purpose but i still don't like how they brought back those characters in Mio's side story, i think it would be way better if they were kept out of the cycle afther she played the off seer song)
If this song doesn’t play at my funeral, THEN I’M NOT GOING!!
It's been so long since I've touched this song and touched the game. But this song still hit as hard as it did the first time I got to it.
The fact that the DLC's menu Theme is remixed in some parts just makes It sadder
Honestly that moment where Jin burns the house with the last remnant of his past life along with the photo taken in the game just crushed me. Shit hits me more than most the moments of Xenoblade 3.
Xenoblade 3 Spoiler
After Xenoblade 3, this song sounds like M telling N after she died, that wants him to move on and for him to stop being moebius and be the man he use to be and she still loves him. And that they will reunite in another life.
And also sounds like the ending of Mio talking to Noah that they will see each other again.
Pretty much ALL of the previous lyrical songs of the Xenoblade Franchise fit WAAAAAY too well onto XC3, it's as if they'd planned it all from the starts, these clever bastards of Monolith Soft and I freaking ADORE them for that genious level of Foresight......wait....Foresight.....
DAMN! THEY POSESS A TRUE MONADO!
I'm 2 yeah late but f in chat for lora and for jin because they both cared for each other and sadly they both died during there games.
Finally. The best moment can be actually loud.
if you do love someone, this lyric can be VERY heavy for the eyes ... beware!
This song hits even harder once you finish Xenoblade Chronicles 3.
Just finished it last night amazing game
Noah and Mio: Torn apart, but song and credits scene imply they find each other again
Jin and Lora: Death, song goes _Just go on..._
True :(
How did people finish this game...a month ago???
@@_shadow_8793 Bought it day one and just powered through it in like a week and a half. I know a lot of people just downloaded it after it leaked before release though
I’m not crying you’re crying
I still find it hard to believe that they are not making another Xenoblade Chronicles game or a spin off. The Xenoblade series is monoliths's golden goose. Let's hope Project Legacy don't disappoint, I can see them going back to the Xenoblade Chronicles series if that fails, though.
This song is absolutely beautiful
Such an underrated game and music.
it's been years but man torna didn't need to do this to us. like i knew going in it was going to be sad. but i didn't know it was going to be THAT sad lol.
It’s just not the same without the ruthless assassinations, you know?
Oh yeah, this theme is really missing something without the senseless killing
Thanks for doing this! I’d made my own version that I didn’t have anywhere to upload to and I have absolutely no idea why none of the music channels that post these songs have uploaded a fixed version of this.
After chuggaaconroys play through and knowing little bit! Jin is the best character
I would like to say again please play this game it is amazing.
After beating torna let's just say Pyra and Jin are the characters I feel bad for the most.
Same here
This song's so good
Your brain is a creative computer
All the answers to life are for you to find
Use your brain as a creative computer
And you will see the light
I think at its absolute core xenoblade 2 is about mistakes and how mistakes shape people like amalthus malos and in some cases all of the world itself with mythra at the end of the game TTGC is about mistakes and the effect of them on the world and xc2 is all about moving past those mistakes such spoliers
as amalthuses dying thoughts jins last act and malos in his final words and of course the aegis itself but thats just my thoughts
Fun fact: in Special Relativity, light-speed travel is equivalent to teleportation to an outside observer. For the one performing it, the effect is equivalent to time stop, effectively stretching out a single moment. A "moment of eternity" perhaps? ;)
Interesting to now compare Jin and N from 3, the latter went a lot more deranged from losing everything and delighted more in cruelty
Also the ''Endless now'' is literally ''A Moment of Eternity''
I always interpreted this song as what Lora wished she could've said to Jin in her dying moments, what could've saved him from centuries of suffering if her desperation to be remembered by the world didn't drag him down.
Of course, the lyrics don't exactly support that theory in a lot of areas but it still makes it seem more poignant.
Edit: Lora didn't want to be forgotten by the world, but she wanted to be forgotten by Jin, because she didn't want him putting on a tough expression and enduring many more years of pain as the guy everyone relied on. That's what the song is about.
Continuing the grand Xenoblade Chronicles tradition of the female lead singing a song about/towards the male lead. Also getting better each time - Beyond the Sky is a good song but not nearly as close to the story and character as One Last You and A Moment Of Eternity is just ... the perfect capstone for Lora/Jin and Torna.
(X doesn't have a lead couple and Cross has no characterization and the original pre-pseudo-MMO plot had no Cross and ELMA as the lead so ... yeah no neither Lin nor Celica singing to Elma was going to happen.)
One last you is kinda meh, but walking with you is amazing, and beyond the sky I can only listen to if I feel like crying
Xcxs ending is just a banger tho lol
The Endless "now"
Exactly what i was thinking
歌は希望を感じさせるけど後ろの映像は絶望でしかない…唯一の希望は最後のレックス😢
My favorite game ever
Head cannon that Lora and Haze sing this
I always interpreted it as addam and lora to jin and mythra.
I'm not even kidding at all. I want this played at my funeral when I die. It's exactly the kind of message I'd want to send people after I'm gone. Move forward, live, I know it's sad but you can't give up and let sorrow defeat you. Let me see your smile, let me know you'll all be ok when I'm gone...
I was thinking the exact same thing, that if there's any song I want played at my funeral it's this one. Glad to see I'm not alone.
lmao what a loser
xc2 is the best jrpg ive EVER played the rollacoster ride of the main game and the presquial story had me crying (the 2nd only game to do so i love the world the charators the setting and the lore i just love it so dam much
May I ask, what is the other game that had you crying?
@@92058 well torna the golden country (witch is a story set in xenoblade 2 but 500 years in the past id recommend u play) witch u can get with the season/expantion pass and when i was younger midna where she was ill and look like something bad was gonna happen and when colin the kid got hit by a bolcoblin from twilight princess
I’m not crying, you are 😢😢😢
Imo this song fits amazing with the end of xb3
Y E S
Nice!
2:29 🎸
Damn nice
I genuinely prefer the dlc over the main game
What a beautiful song. It would be a shame if it was tainted by death and depression…
