A battle quote I had in this part of the game: Reyn: "You can't have a rainbow without Reyn baby!" Melia: "Dunban, I think you need to have a talk with Reyn." Dunban: "No. I think we should pretend it didn't happen."
Speaking of the European English, it seems they've chosen different dialects for the different regions, and I think that's a nice touch. Reyn and Shulk are more rural, at first that was just kind of funny, but then Melia has a refined British. Good design choice.
Have you played Dragon Quest 8? The voice acting is REALLY well done! One of the guys in your party, Yangus, has this really southern british accent like: U WOT MATE? I 'AINT GOT 'NOFIN TO DO WIF THIS! While other npc's have a really posh stuck up accent, It's HILARIOUS!
fenojack I wouldn't call Yangus's accent southern, it's more Cockney really. Southern is actually a bit more... refined than northern English. Still not as 'posh' as London though, I guess (I happen to be British myself, actually, so that might help with distinguishing accents... xD). It's also funny you should mention Dragon Quest 8, some of the voice actors in that game voice this game too. Alvis shares the same actor as Angelo for example. Anyways, good to know that someone else who likes that game, it's one of my all time favourites. :)
***** Yeah I'm not british and I didn't really research the accents either so I was probably wrong :p P.S I still want to kick the shit out of prince charmless XD
26:57 So after using the poison tipped nopon sword, Emmy Leater passes the test but loses everyone's respect and disappears after seeming really depressed. Reyn's response? "OH YEAH! THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKIN' ABOUT!"
I'm rewatching this year's later, and I finally figured out the answer to how Jan knew about makna. The defense force must have HAD to travel that way to get to the sword of the mechonis during the battle of sword valley. I think the homs just don't go out that far anymore, and none of the young ones (-18 as we saw know reyn was still training when the battle happened) would know of how to get there. Dunban probably knows the way to the sword, but not to eryth sea (the sword in is in the side so I'm pretty sure there are more ways to get there than from valic mountain). The quadwing he had you fight WOULD be a challenge to him, seeing as the highest level dunban was when he fought at sword valley was 20. A level 34 would have proven a test in the year prior if that was their highest level.
While we're on a quest episode, here's a dumb little rant no one will care about: As much as I love this game so far, a lot of the side quests are really obnoxious. Like..."Take this item to that guy standing right there in front of me. Okay, now bring me an item from him." "I was tasked with killing a monster by my boss but it's too scary, so can you do it for me and let me take credit so I can keep my job fighting monsters that are too scary?" "I want to ask a girl out, can you ask her out for me? She said yes? Great, now tell her when I'll meet her later!" These NPC's are driving me nuts! I find myself just finishing quests to get the rewards and experience. Aren't we supposed to WANT to help these characters? I just want to walk away from many of them. Don't get me started on the bossy ones with attitudes. "Oh, random stranger. Hurry up and go do this for me! Why are you still here? Chop chop!" The worst so far was a little Nopon in Frontier village. He asks you to go kill the orlugas because they did not let him draw on them! Little brat.
LOL the way you put that... that's the funniest thing i've heard someone say about this game. I remember that pompous Nopon quest too. i never minded stuff like that when I played it though. plus you don't have to do the quests as soon as you get them like Chugga is doing, you can do 'em when you feel like it and even complete some accidentally
FireKirby7 Yeah, I'm pretty much just completing the quests that look like they will have good rewards now. I've completed a few that just seemed really easy, too.
I feel the need to express my thanks to you, Chugga. A few years back I started playing Xenoblade and I'll admit I didn't level nearly as much as I should have. Because of this, I got my butt handed to me by the giant spider when you have to save Reyn several times and eventually got fed-up with the game and decided I no longer wished to play it. So imagine my surprise when after watching a few of your LPs, I stumble onto this one. I figured id view a few eps and see just what occurs after you beat said giant spider... now, 28 episodes in, watching this LP has got me really excited to erase my old file and try again using this as a guide. So yeah, thanks, I have a game that'll take a while to beat that I haven't played before... much. I look forward to playing once again. ~Akai

This may be a long comment, but bear with me. I have to say, this game is really quite something. Currently as I'm writing this, I'm around 100 hours in (and still not done with even the main story!) and loving it! I picked this game up around the time of final exams, so I didn't have time to play it. When I saw that you uploaded your first video, I made sure to not watch it and sit down and play this game. Needless to say, it's one of the best decisions I've made in a long time! I haven't been this obsessed with a game for a long time, and your LP is really adding to that enjoyment. I get you haven't finished it yet, but even right now I say it was worth the eighteen months! I've wanted to make let's plays for a while now, and while this is inspiration, it's also discouraging because I watch just one video of it and think, "There's no way I can compete with this!" You're videos are proof that let's plays can be more than just simply over-dramatic face-cams over horror games. You have shown that they can be high-quality productions presenting a new experience to those who haven't played the game being played, and offer a new experience for those who have played the game multiple times. Because of that, I say thank you. I think I can speak for a lot of people when I say these videos are great, so keep on making them! You bring forth so much energy, and put so much blood, sweat, and tears into every video you make. Continue to do what you do, as people truly do appreciate it. Wow that was long, but it's the truth. So keep rocking on Mr. Conroy!
When Kenny Rohan told me there was no such thing as a Firefly Fish and that I shouldn't believe everything I hear I actually shouted at the screen, "WE'RE ON THE CORPSE OF A 4 MILE TALL TITAN!! WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO BELIEVE?!!". Seriously, you can't just throw a Faith vs. Progress side-quest in and be a prick about it, jeez. I wanted to see the Firefly Fish!
i love how when rikki is idle during conversations he just dances around like crazy and its hilarious especially because he's a nopon and all the nopon are all derpy and funny most of the time (i say MOST of the time sometimes they can be really serious and creepy)
'Canon'. Canon is accepted writing. Cannons are ballistic weapons. The difference is immense...unless the developers intended Sharla stuffing Reyn into her gun and firing him towards the Bionis head to be how the game should've gone. If that's how this goes, I retract my corrections, and approve that turn of events.
I like how this Xenoblade has so many more sidequests than Xenoblade 2. Also, the affinity chart makes people in each locale seem much more connected than Xenoblade 2.
David Neligan To be honest, I like the way both Xenoblade X and 2 handled sidequests compared to this game. Especially X. I felt that those games had more interesting quests.
I love that riki gets affinity with Makna forest any time he defeats a creature in the forest. It's because he is the heropon, and the village hates him at the moment, but the more he helps, the more he is liked. Awesome detail
While also doing Emmy Leater's quests with your same party (Reyn, Dunban, and Riki), Dunban commented to Reyn saying, "Reyn, it helps to look someone in the eyes when you're talking to them." Caught me off guard, haha! Reyn must've had his attention a little lower when talking to Emmy.
I just encountered some of the later generic Mechon types in my playthrough. I like to think the enemy namer/whoever named them in canon was having a really bad day when he came up with things like MOIST-class and WORST-class Mechon.
The Young Captain quest line is really interesting. I have chosen both options in separate playthroughs, but I prefer getting the Carbo Shield as well. For some reason I always had trouble finding Jan for The Old Soldier's Test quest. Every guide I looked at had slightly different information that tipped me off.
This is making me a bit nervous now... I skipped those quests on my first run. I'm on my second run now, and I gave her the sword. Well, we'll see what happens.
The Wiki for that quest seems to give a good list of prerequisites for it that involves talking to different people, including Dionysis multiple times.
Jan is actually pretty easy to find. Skip travel to the military district during the day and turn right. He’s right next to the fence where you can see recruits doing push-ups
I feel inspired to pick up the game again... you are in the exact section of the story that I previously left my New Game+ file on. I fell off a cliff just before where the Telethia is resting and respawned back at Frontier Village. Took some time off after that LOL.
"There are accents on a lot of the characters" Welcome to how the rest of the world feels about American voice actors in everything haha. Very late to the party, but I'm falling in love with this game because of this Let's Play Chuggaa :)
For the quest from Kenny Rohan (Out with the light), I normally talk to Arnaut, get some iron krabble, have him fix it and give it to Kenny. I do that all the time as I believe that it's best.
Hey dad quick question are you ever going to show how broken Rikis Happy happy art is? Because if you use it correctly you can fill up the gage in mere seconds in chain attacks.
Right you have a guy that likes staring at the sky and they want to make him a painter. Don't they have a dozen vacancies in Air defence right now? Why wasn't he in the plateau above the valley watching the sky for mecon? Nice review sir. Clearly the Homs have no strategic grasp.
I love how before you started this LP, I didn't believe you when you said Xenobalde was the best game of all time to you. And now I love this game so much that I just can't wait for your parts to come out. I've already played a few chapters past where this video is while still doing all the side-quests... ...Damn it Chuggaa, you've made me an addict.
Shulk reminds me of Sora from Kingdom Hearts. Both have a sword (Shulk: the Monado, Sora: the Keyblade), both want to unlock the power of their sword, both have two friends they really care about (Shulk: Reyn and Fiora, Sora: Riku and Kairi), both of their swords have awesome attacks and magical powers, Shulk's running animation reminds me of Sora's, both can have only two partners in their party at once, and the Monado chose Shulk, just like the Keyblade chose Sora. Who agrees with this comparison?
also, the monado is the only weapon that can hurt mechon, and the keyblade is the only weapon that takes the hearts from heartless to kingdom hearts, but there are many wielders other than sora that each have a different keyblade, there's only one monado
Keyblade only chose sora for Ventus' heart inside of him..... There are many keyblade bearers most of them died but the three friends have their keyblades. 1 by accident. 1 by purpose and one a mistake.
Chugga's decision for the "Out Like a Light?" quest is the only one that's different to what I judge as the 'best' choice so far and use in my playthroughs, although it's also one that doesn't affect the affinity chart. My judgement just tells me that people can always get the drive to move on with their lives, but you need something to look forward to in order to get that encouragement, so mending the lamp is a good idea.
The voices are one of the reasons why Xenoblade always stuck out to me as a game. As someone who has lived in England my entire life, I never hear British accents in most video games. Or even most media. Outside of the rare character. While friends of mine in America have always said that the voices sound weird to them, they just sound natural for me and it's so nice to be able to hear accents other than the BBC English you tend to hear everywhere.
If Shulk is like 18 yrs. old and the Manado Expedition was 14 yrs. ago and Shulk went on The Manado Expedition, then he went when he was........4 yrs. old!!
The story of Xenoblade’s localization struggle makes me grin, considering that it now has a port to the 3DS, a release on the WiiU Virtual Console, a spinoff on the WiiU, a sequel on the Switch, a prequel to that sequel, AND an upcoming remake
Then what DO you call it? It’s not a spiritual successor because it’s still a Xenoblade game, it’s not a remake because it’s got completely different characters plot and world, and it’s not a sequel because we have an actual storyline sequel
I some games, like Xenoblade, I often find parts like these to be the most enjoyable :) I really like quests that just take you exploring the world and getting to know the characters and lore in it :) Also, great job, Chuggaa! Keep it up :D
actually, now that i think of it, reyn, dunban and shulk are all part of the colony 9 defence force, and as a captain emmy outranks them. she can totally tell them to do all these things. the characters ranks are never specified, but i'm betting she at least outranks shulk and reyn. dunban, maybe not, but he'd help her anyway. so this isn't really out of line.
SaiyanSuperSonic yes, that definitely outranks a captain. but as i said, dunban would help anyway. he could be the commander of the armed forces, and would still take time out of his day to wander around and see if anyone wants him to grab them a drink from the store.
24:25 What about Alvis? He was first shown on a cliff near the Colony 6 Ether Mines and was met for the first time in the Makina Forest meaning that he would have had to either travel through the High Entia Ruins as well or fly on a Telethia.
Actually, I think it makes perfect sense that the Homs would know about Makna Forest: Dunban comments on it being the home of the Nopon when they first arrive there, so it and its connection to the Nopon are known at least to him. We know that Colony 9 and 6 both participated in the battle of Sword Valley, which (minor geographical spoilers) can only be accessed through a certain area which is in turn only accessible through Makna. Plus, the Nopon merchants seem to be based in Frontier Village and they would need to have trade with the Homs colonies. So it can safely be assumed that Makna, even if not traveled to regularly, is known of. Following that, it seems reasonable that Jan, as an old soldier, would have seen and experienced more than the average person and might know more about Makna than the next Homs.
Yeah as far as the rumor you talked about with that quest and between Reyn Sharla and Melia, I have yet to see any proof as well so I think someone was throwing you for a loop. But other than that I do agree with you on how awesome and heart warming these quests are. I honestly have a blast doing them and seeing my decisions make such an impact… soemthing I wish 2 did and from the sound of it 3 is going to do which is awesome in my opinion.
Since there's some Nopon in Colony 9, it's possible that Jan overheard some gossip about the creature in Makna Forest. Also, Dickson might not have been alone when he traveled to Makna Forest.
The European voice acting made me want more of it in future games. It was charming, hilarious, and quite fitting. Also, being in the military, I found it funny that Emmy Leater was testing for Lieutenant Colonel from being a Captain. In the Army and Air Force, there is another rank between the two, and that is Major.
I don't have much to say this episode, since it was all side-quests. I really don't get why Chugga constantly compares the group to the defense force. The wielder of the Monado, some really tough military members including a Beast, a High Entia magician, and the Heropon certainly compare to a random soldier or two. Also keep in mind, by the time Chugga did this quest, he's made it to Makna, where stronger equipment and enemies are found. Also, level 11 enemies weren't that easy when the group was only level 11.
shamis mohamed It's sort of dramatic irony, in that the in-game party doesn't know, but we've seen her with wings in a previous cutscene, and the Nopon certainly also have (calling her Bird Lady). While it wasn't explicitly stated, we "know" by now.
shamis mohamed She talks about 'my people' in front of the party and refers to the Homs as if she isn't one. The Nopon also call her bird lady while calling the rest of the party "Hom homs". You're supposed to realize she's high entia almost immediately, but like MadameBerry said, dramatic irony. In the story the only reason the party doesn't realize it is because: 1) She looks like a homs. 2) They're still accustomed to the idea of the High Entia as a myth, so they forget that more than the Nopon and Homs exist on Bionis.
shamis mohamed I really disagree on it being a spoiler. It is obvious the very moment you see her. She dresses completely different to a Homs, wields powerful magic no Hom is capable of using, and no other Colonies exist on Bionis. So that the characters haven't figured it out, including the whole "my people" talk, I'm surprised they know Riki is a Nopon. Other clues, which, if you insist, is spoilery to who Melia is: Shulk's Vision of facing off against Metal Face, the one he mentions to Melia. Melia says "father" and Shulk says Metal Face caused grief to the "Emperor" and Fiora. Emperor? The Homs and Nopon both don't have this, and no other peoples have been introduced into the story. Melia's father looks very regal, she is in distress when she calls for him it sounds, and her guards addressed her as "Lady". From that cutscene alone, you can establish not only is Melia an Entia, she is the Emperor's Daughter. Also, I don't quite recall, but don't the statues in the Marsh have wings? Just like Bird Lady Melia. The game "spoils" her identity far before the party finds out.
MadameBerry There's also the bunch of other things I mentioned in my other comment. There is so much saying she is an Entia, that it is almost obvious. I'm surprised I never noticed this. A bunch of times I hate that the game spoils major plot twists hours before the party finds out, but I somehow didn't even realize they spoil Melia's identity before you even see her in the Telethia cutscene.
5:40 - At least I can accuse them of exclusively casting the Brit as a the bad guy as that's what most (if not all) of the voice cast is. 18:43 - Riki talking blitzball (!) 24:25 - Perhaps he heard about it from the Nopon.
19:09-19:14 Lol. Tbh, I want to see how he would respond to each individual character telling him that. If he's open-minded, his response might not vary that much. If he's closed-minded, his response to Reyn saying that could be funny. Jackson: O.O Um...please don't squish me.
I burst out laughing when you said Raoul because Raoul is a character in the phantom of the opera. My class and I read it (a shorter version) and we'd laugh whenever we had to say Raoul. XD Riki is super adorable! But I do have to wonder how old the Nopons are. :)
27:17 When Emmy passes the test and nobody trusts her anymore, right after that Reyn gets his reward and he's like "OH YEAH!" like he doesn't care in the least! Harsh man! I don't know why but I found that quite funny.
Fun fact about the dyed equipment set from Emmy for anyone interested. Those are unique pieces of equipment that only have a unique appearance when worn by Fiora, it can only be worn by females but on the other characters it just has their default appearance, but pink. However it requires quite a bit of affinity and would require essentially doing all quests in Colony 9, so that also would have meant missing character comments from later characters.
One of the most amusing things about this LP, is seeing Chugga struggle with Cultural English grammar structure and sayings. :D As I type that he starts mentioning about it and calling it "European English". Americans confronted with the eccentricities of the language is always amusing, Given the divergent paths British English and American English took in the 17th century.
I don't know about super amounts of affection, but I seem to recall that if you talk to the right person, they tell you that it's a lamp and you don't get scolded for being foolish enough to believe in flying fish.
About the "A Mysterious Light" quest... I always had taken the route where you fixed the lamp and let people see it. Sure, people won't forced to move on from their distracting comfort of seeing that lamp, but think about it this way; Sesame said that people are all dark and gloomy and have nothing happy to talk about anymore. Why not give them yet another thing to gather and hold conversations over? It is just going outside at night to look at a lamp, so what's the harm? Plus if it gets noticeably bad, Rohan could just gather the lamp and tell everyone, which is better than just having it mysteriously disappear; they'll really be able to move on, instead of being left to wonder about that light, or speculate like Dionysis. Also I liked getting the Claymore for Leater, not because it's the better idea, but i found the thing it affects later to be more interesting than the Shield's option. Plus the Claymore doesn't kill anyone (even if it does cause pain), so it's not like you'll lose an NPC on the affinity chart. Though that's just me. Oh and yeah, the Old Soldier's Test is so weird. You can lock yourself out of it, but not by progressing too far or doing another quest like most quests that you can lock yourself out of (hence the lack of a clock). It's just....answer the wrong thing to Dionysis, and you're locked out of it. I don't think there's a SINGLE other quest like that in the game. So weird.
***** LAWL. WHO PLAYS VIDEOS ON UTUBE NOT ON 4K, OR EVEN HD? HAHAHA. Seriously, though, I'm actually a little jealous of people who can do that. My internet connection _sucks_.

Wow that was long, but it's the truth. So keep rocking on Mr. Conroy!
When Kenny Rohan told me there was no such thing as a Firefly Fish and that I shouldn't believe everything I hear I actually shouted at the screen, "WE'RE ON THE CORPSE OF A 4 MILE TALL TITAN!! WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO BELIEVE?!!". Seriously, you can't just throw a Faith vs. Progress side-quest in and be a prick about it, jeez. I wanted to see the Firefly Fish!
"Me and Miller..."
"MILLER AND I"
"Dang it Emile you did it to me again
3:30 I gotta get Ryan's line on a shirt. "Food? Now that's what I'm talking about!" might even make a meme
17:50 "As we all know, in JRPGs, rumors always travel faster than you do." - HCBailly
I love HCB. He is one of the best LPers I've ever watched :D
Also Chugga did a great job with this LP. You can see the passion he put in.
Xenoblade best JRPG of the previous gen?
It's my personal favorite RPG of all time.
Yes.
Persona 3 FES for ps2 and ps3
Daniel Velazco Persona 3 doesn't count. It was PS2 originally.
Nope. It is the best JRPG of all time.
14:30 I guess Kenny's a Rush fan. You know "If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice" ("Freewill").
i love how when rikki is idle during conversations he just dances around like crazy and its hilarious especially because he's a nopon and all the nopon are all derpy and funny most of the time (i say MOST of the time sometimes they can be really serious and creepy)
who else just loves Riki's idle dance?
its just so adorable
So excited! It´s pretty cool with all the new party members, looking forward to seeing more
Same here! :D
Me three! :) This LP is amazing! :D

It feels good to hear your voice again Chugga. After spending two weeks in the hospital, it feels so nice to watch your videos again.
LOL, I love how chuggaa's a hardcore Reyn/Sharla shipper.
it's cannon
'Canon'. Canon is accepted writing. Cannons are ballistic weapons.
The difference is immense...unless the developers intended Sharla stuffing Reyn into her gun and firing him towards the Bionis head to be how the game should've gone. If that's how this goes, I retract my corrections, and approve that turn of events.
TheAsvarduilProject fun fact, in French canon is spelled with one "n" regardless of the meaning
@@TheAsvarduilProject I need to see that
@@lightbrand_ makes sense both are known for sinking ships
I like how this Xenoblade has so many more sidequests than Xenoblade 2. Also, the affinity chart makes people in each locale seem much more connected than Xenoblade 2.
There are no "generic" quests in Xenoblade 2, though, plus the Affinity Chart kinda has quests (I guess those would be the generic quests, then)
David Neligan To be honest, I like the way both Xenoblade X and 2 handled sidequests compared to this game. Especially X. I felt that those games had more interesting quests.
@@superchiefdunga5394 the thing I dislike most about X is that they don't give level indicators for generic quests
Dear chuggaaconroy, what do you think will happen first?
1. You will finish this Lets Play
2. You will hit 1 million subs
Why not both?
veloxiraptor55
Because it's logically impossible not to do one before the other unless both occur at the exact same instant in time?
I love that riki gets affinity with Makna forest any time he defeats a creature in the forest. It's because he is the heropon, and the village hates him at the moment, but the more he helps, the more he is liked. Awesome detail
While also doing Emmy Leater's quests with your same party (Reyn, Dunban, and Riki), Dunban commented to Reyn saying, "Reyn, it helps to look someone in the eyes when you're talking to them."
Caught me off guard, haha! Reyn must've had his attention a little lower when talking to Emmy.
I just encountered some of the later generic Mechon types in my playthrough. I like to think the enemy namer/whoever named them in canon was having a really bad day when he came up with things like MOIST-class and WORST-class Mechon.
The Young Captain quest line is really interesting. I have chosen both options in separate playthroughs, but I prefer getting the Carbo Shield as well.
For some reason I always had trouble finding Jan for The Old Soldier's Test quest. Every guide I looked at had slightly different information that tipped me off.
This is making me a bit nervous now... I skipped those quests on my first run. I'm on my second run now, and I gave her the sword. Well, we'll see what happens.
The Wiki for that quest seems to give a good list of prerequisites for it that involves talking to different people, including Dionysis multiple times.
Jan is actually pretty easy to find. Skip travel to the military district during the day and turn right. He’s right next to the fence where you can see recruits doing push-ups
I feel inspired to pick up the game again... you are in the exact section of the story that I previously left my New Game+ file on. I fell off a cliff just before where the Telethia is resting and respawned back at Frontier Village. Took some time off after that LOL.
Chuggaaconroy you make me laugh every time i watch one of you videos. You make my days. Thank you.
"There are accents on a lot of the characters"
Welcome to how the rest of the world feels about American voice actors in everything haha.
Very late to the party, but I'm falling in love with this game because of this Let's Play Chuggaa :)
For the quest from Kenny Rohan (Out with the light), I normally talk to Arnaut, get some iron krabble, have him fix it and give it to Kenny. I do that all the time as I believe that it's best.
Hey dad quick question are you ever going to show how broken Rikis Happy happy art is? Because if you use it correctly you can fill up the gage in mere seconds in chain attacks.
Wtf?
That's broken
"Dad?"
Look at his name
I love the Colony 9 Quests. Helping everyone out in the colony just gives you that warm fuzzy feeling.
25:28
Melia:"I have become stronger"
Chugga:"Now that we have become stronger"
Ironic choice of words there chugga.
Right you have a guy that likes staring at the sky and they want to make him a painter. Don't they have a dozen vacancies in Air defence right now? Why wasn't he in the plateau above the valley watching the sky for mecon? Nice review sir. Clearly the Homs have no strategic grasp.
Emmy Leater walks away depress from losing trust.
Reyn says "OH YEAH! THAT WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT"
Reyn a jerk.
I love how before you started this LP, I didn't believe you when you said Xenobalde was the best game of all time to you. And now I love this game so much that I just can't wait for your parts to come out. I've already played a few chapters past where this video is while still doing all the side-quests...
...Damn it Chuggaa, you've made me an addict.
Same with me! :)
Me three. :)
I want to correct how you said maid instead of made... Oh- I did.
OMG CHUGGA YOUR VIDEO CAUSED THE INSIDE OF THE MICROWAVE CATCH ON FIRE!!!!
@@Garry-y7b Lol I forgot about this comment. Anyways we moved out of there not long afterwards. Idk if the house is still on fire or not.
Shulk reminds me of Sora from Kingdom Hearts. Both have a sword (Shulk: the Monado, Sora: the Keyblade), both want to unlock the power of their sword, both have two friends they really care about (Shulk: Reyn and Fiora, Sora: Riku and Kairi), both of their swords have awesome attacks and magical powers, Shulk's running animation reminds me of Sora's, both can have only two partners in their party at once, and the Monado chose Shulk, just like the Keyblade chose Sora. Who agrees with this comparison?
yeah sort of
also, the monado is the only weapon that can hurt mechon, and the keyblade is the only weapon that takes the hearts from heartless to kingdom hearts, but there are many wielders other than sora that each have a different keyblade, there's only one monado
Keyblade only chose sora for Ventus' heart inside of him..... There are many keyblade bearers most of them died but the three friends have their keyblades. 1 by accident. 1 by purpose and one a mistake.
except xenoblade chronicles is better lolololol no it probably isn't i mean i only played xenoblade, kingdom hearts uh no
Xenoblade is only one game whereas KH is 5 games i think at this point and the first two are the best.
Shulk's really feeling it!
Chugga's decision for the "Out Like a Light?" quest is the only one that's different to what I judge as the 'best' choice so far and use in my playthroughs, although it's also one that doesn't affect the affinity chart. My judgement just tells me that people can always get the drive to move on with their lives, but you need something to look forward to in order to get that encouragement, so mending the lamp is a good idea.
The voices are one of the reasons why Xenoblade always stuck out to me as a game. As someone who has lived in England my entire life, I never hear British accents in most video games. Or even most media. Outside of the rare character. While friends of mine in America have always said that the voices sound weird to them, they just sound natural for me and it's so nice to be able to hear accents other than the BBC English you tend to hear everywhere.
Awesome! Was able to catch up on 2 days worth of videos! Thanks chuggaa, for doing this Thursday and Monday thing!
If Shulk is like 18 yrs. old and the Manado Expedition was 14 yrs. ago and Shulk went on The Manado Expedition, then he went when he was........4 yrs. old!!
chuggaaconroy Shulk, Fiora, Reyan are/was 18, Sharla 21, Dunban is 30, Melia is 88, and Riki is 40.
really
I always thought that sharla was 20
ThePowellClan powell It's on the game's wiki
Aaron Liranzo You were close.
Well that explains her bulid if ya know what I mean
Spoiler: Chugga is amazing
20:49
Chugga: "Glorious view of Mechonis!"
Me: "Glorious view of dat ass!"
The firefly fish gives me the same vibes as the “I can fly when you’re not looking” conversation in the first Pokemon Mystery Dungeon game
I immediately knew that you would correct Emmy. Looks like we've gained affinity between each other!
The story of Xenoblade’s localization struggle makes me grin, considering that it now has a port to the 3DS, a release on the WiiU Virtual Console, a spinoff on the WiiU, a sequel on the Switch, a prequel to that sequel, AND an upcoming remake
XCX is not a spinoff
Then what DO you call it? It’s not a spiritual successor because it’s still a Xenoblade game, it’s not a remake because it’s got completely different characters plot and world, and it’s not a sequel because we have an actual storyline sequel
I some games, like Xenoblade, I often find parts like these to be the most enjoyable :)
I really like quests that just take you exploring the world and getting to know the characters and lore in it :)
Also, great job, Chuggaa! Keep it up :D
13:05 to teach you a lesson about old people.
19:20 "My hobby is going to become my job." Sounds like they were talking about Chuggaa!
Thanks for the video, Emile! :)
actually, now that i think of it, reyn, dunban and shulk are all part of the colony 9 defence force, and as a captain emmy outranks them. she can totally tell them to do all these things. the characters ranks are never specified, but i'm betting she at least outranks shulk and reyn. dunban, maybe not, but he'd help her anyway. so this isn't really out of line.
Dunban is a general, not sure if that outranks captain or not though...
SaiyanSuperSonic yes, that definitely outranks a captain. but as i said, dunban would help anyway. he could be the commander of the armed forces, and would still take time out of his day to wander around and see if anyone wants him to grab them a drink from the store.
he is the true hero of the homian (or whatever) people
Seriously he's like one of the best, him melia and riki are OP
SaiyanSuperSonic they're homs, for the record. and really shulk is op. he can see and alter the future.
24:25 What about Alvis? He was first shown on a cliff near the Colony 6 Ether Mines and was met for the first time in the Makina Forest meaning that he would have had to either travel through the High Entia Ruins as well or fly on a Telethia.
Actually, I think it makes perfect sense that the Homs would know about Makna Forest:
Dunban comments on it being the home of the Nopon when they first arrive there, so it and its connection to the Nopon are known at least to him. We know that Colony 9 and 6 both participated in the battle of Sword Valley, which (minor geographical spoilers) can only be accessed through a certain area which is in turn only accessible through Makna. Plus, the Nopon merchants seem to be based in Frontier Village and they would need to have trade with the Homs colonies. So it can safely be assumed that Makna, even if not traveled to regularly, is known of.
Following that, it seems reasonable that Jan, as an old soldier, would have seen and experienced more than the average person and might know more about Makna than the next Homs.
Yeah as far as the rumor you talked about with that quest and between Reyn Sharla and Melia, I have yet to see any proof as well so I think someone was throwing you for a loop. But other than that I do agree with you on how awesome and heart warming these quests are. I honestly have a blast doing them and seeing my decisions make such an impact… soemthing I wish 2 did and from the sound of it 3 is going to do which is awesome in my opinion.
Since there's some Nopon in Colony 9, it's possible that Jan overheard some gossip about the creature in Makna Forest. Also, Dickson might not have been alone when he traveled to Makna Forest.
I like that Melia doesn't care at all that you took her aaaall the way back to Colony 9 to do random stuff.
The European voice acting made me want more of it in future games. It was charming, hilarious, and quite fitting.
Also, being in the military, I found it funny that Emmy Leater was testing for Lieutenant Colonel from being a Captain. In the Army and Air Force, there is another rank between the two, and that is Major.
I don't have much to say this episode, since it was all side-quests.
I really don't get why Chugga constantly compares the group to the defense force. The wielder of the Monado, some really tough military members including a Beast, a High Entia magician, and the Heropon certainly compare to a random soldier or two. Also keep in mind, by the time Chugga did this quest, he's made it to Makna, where stronger equipment and enemies are found. Also, level 11 enemies weren't that easy when the group was only level 11.
shamis mohamed It's sort of dramatic irony, in that the in-game party doesn't know, but we've seen her with wings in a previous cutscene, and the Nopon certainly also have (calling her Bird Lady). While it wasn't explicitly stated, we "know" by now.
shamis mohamed
She talks about 'my people' in front of the party and refers to the Homs as if she isn't one. The Nopon also call her bird lady while calling the rest of the party "Hom homs". You're supposed to realize she's high entia almost immediately, but like MadameBerry said, dramatic irony. In the story the only reason the party doesn't realize it is because:
1) She looks like a homs.
2) They're still accustomed to the idea of the High Entia as a myth, so they forget that more than the Nopon and Homs exist on Bionis.
shamis mohamed
I really disagree on it being a spoiler. It is obvious the very moment you see her. She dresses completely different to a Homs, wields powerful magic no Hom is capable of using, and no other Colonies exist on Bionis. So that the characters haven't figured it out, including the whole "my people" talk, I'm surprised they know Riki is a Nopon.
Other clues, which, if you insist, is spoilery to who Melia is: Shulk's Vision of facing off against Metal Face, the one he mentions to Melia. Melia says "father" and Shulk says Metal Face caused grief to the "Emperor" and Fiora. Emperor? The Homs and Nopon both don't have this, and no other peoples have been introduced into the story. Melia's father looks very regal, she is in distress when she calls for him it sounds, and her guards addressed her as "Lady". From that cutscene alone, you can establish not only is Melia an Entia, she is the Emperor's Daughter.
Also, I don't quite recall, but don't the statues in the Marsh have wings? Just like Bird Lady Melia. The game "spoils" her identity far before the party finds out.
MadameBerry
There's also the bunch of other things I mentioned in my other comment. There is so much saying she is an Entia, that it is almost obvious.
I'm surprised I never noticed this. A bunch of times I hate that the game spoils major plot twists hours before the party finds out, but I somehow didn't even realize they spoil Melia's identity before you even see her in the Telethia cutscene.
shamis mohamed Hmmm, I think she didn't have wings but her companions did.
5:40 - At least I can accuse them of exclusively casting the Brit as a the bad guy as that's what most (if not all) of the voice cast is.
18:43 - Riki talking blitzball (!)
24:25 - Perhaps he heard about it from the Nopon.
warning, you know what im gonna say. PFTC will warn you about spoilers...yawn
Are you like his slave?
Potato Camara Yeah...
My farts warn people about spoilers too. :)
***** Am I? I can't tell... pftc is love, pftc is life.
Snivy Ian
I've come my child. Let your mind set free from the-
NO WHAT ARE YOU DOING, AHHHHHHHHHHH STOP NOOOOOOO
I just got to a major plot twist in the game, and watching the comments for that episode is going to be the most hysterical thing ever.
That quest with the young woman in the older guy that was a little rough.
I’m glad this game is not afraid to tackle topics like that.
More Xenoblade! :D Keep up the great work, Chugga!
hell yea
You love chugga too right?
Ryan Joseph Sievert One of my favorite TH-camrs!
The Legend of Xenoblade: Jackson's Awakening
I never noticed that Dunban has his hair tired back in some costumes. That's pretty cool.
19:09-19:14 Lol. Tbh, I want to see how he would respond to each individual character telling him that. If he's open-minded, his response might not vary that much. If he's closed-minded, his response to Reyn saying that could be funny.
Jackson: O.O Um...please don't squish me.
5:50 Oh, so that's why it's so good! Yeah, definitely nice having a little break from the 'Muricans' Mickey Mouse English.
I burst out laughing when you said Raoul because Raoul is a character in the phantom of the opera. My class and I read it (a shorter version) and we'd laugh whenever we had to say Raoul. XD Riki is super adorable! But I do have to wonder how old the Nopons are. :)
The nopon are all over the age of zero and under the age of one million
4:37 "Well done, Riki!" -Riki
The Legend Of Dorothy Jackson's Awakening
In the quest for emmy where you had to defeat the 5 Vangs, you had the NEXT quest's brog as listed for what you had to kill
European actors? I think Doctor Who has that covered.
Yeah, they are pretty good.
Melia is voiced by jenna louise coleman
THATS WHY MELIA SOUNDS FAMILIAR
Really?! Wow.
***** You do realise that Scotland is in Britain?
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger!
Sidequests! Saviours of the universe!
it wouldn't have surprised me if they designers made a 'legendary firefly fish' real.
27:17 When Emmy passes the test and nobody trusts her anymore, right after that Reyn gets his reward and he's like "OH YEAH!" like he doesn't care in the least! Harsh man!
I don't know why but I found that quite funny.
Fun fact about the dyed equipment set from Emmy for anyone interested. Those are unique pieces of equipment that only have a unique appearance when worn by Fiora, it can only be worn by females but on the other characters it just has their default appearance, but pink. However it requires quite a bit of affinity and would require essentially doing all quests in Colony 9, so that also would have meant missing character comments from later characters.
Man these old visuals are so nostalgic
so finding out that its really an ether lamp gets you an obscure hudsonsoft fighting game??
I get such a big grin everytime I see this in my sub box. =D
"She is just gone for now." FOR NOW... *illuminati confirmed music*
Heropon very cool!
One of the most amusing things about this LP, is seeing Chugga struggle with Cultural English grammar structure and sayings. :D
As I type that he starts mentioning about it and calling it "European English". Americans confronted with the eccentricities of the language is always amusing, Given the divergent paths British English and American English took in the 17th century.
I don't know about super amounts of affection, but I seem to recall that if you talk to the right person, they tell you that it's a lamp and you don't get scolded for being foolish enough to believe in flying fish.
We have unfinished business, he and I.
I like how Riki does a a little dance during his ideal animation.
2:50 for anyone who missed it.
About the "A Mysterious Light" quest...
I always had taken the route where you fixed the lamp and let people see it. Sure, people won't forced to move on from their distracting comfort of seeing that lamp, but think about it this way; Sesame said that people are all dark and gloomy and have nothing happy to talk about anymore. Why not give them yet another thing to gather and hold conversations over? It is just going outside at night to look at a lamp, so what's the harm? Plus if it gets noticeably bad, Rohan could just gather the lamp and tell everyone, which is better than just having it mysteriously disappear; they'll really be able to move on, instead of being left to wonder about that light, or speculate like Dionysis.
Also I liked getting the Claymore for Leater, not because it's the better idea, but i found the thing it affects later to be more interesting than the Shield's option. Plus the Claymore doesn't kill anyone (even if it does cause pain), so it's not like you'll lose an NPC on the affinity chart. Though that's just me.
Oh and yeah, the Old Soldier's Test is so weird. You can lock yourself out of it, but not by progressing too far or doing another quest like most quests that you can lock yourself out of (hence the lack of a clock). It's just....answer the wrong thing to Dionysis, and you're locked out of it. I don't think there's a SINGLE other quest like that in the game. So weird.
Is it just me, or is TH-cam really slow today? I have to watch in 240p because it loads so slowly. Everything else runs just fine.
Im running fine at 720p.
Yeah nothing is working for me. It could just be my WiFi but I'm getting pretty good speeds in other video players so I have no idea what's going on.
***** LAWL. WHO PLAYS VIDEOS ON UTUBE NOT ON 4K, OR EVEN HD? HAHAHA.
Seriously, though, I'm actually a little jealous of people who can do that. My internet connection _sucks_.
Yeah, I noticed that as well. I was having issues running things in 360p, and I'm usually fine at 480.
This never happend to me when TH-cam was TH-cam and Google was NOT Google+.
How did Jan know about Makna Forest?
Sidequests contradict facts laid out in the story. Happens in many many RPGs.
11:04 What did Riki say there? The quest text blocked out his speech bubble entirely.
And it's all because of you chuggaaconroy for making me loving both this game and super smash bro :D
And many other games
