15:08 For anyone who doesn’t know the context to this scene and why the note pops up, I’ll explain. Nia says how Rex show d her she doesn’t need to hide her true self and confesses her love to Rex. Rex says “Nia, I love you too” and after a gasp from Nia, continues with “I love you, and all you guys” in a sense friendzoning our beloved cat girl. However, thanks to the New Game+ title screens where Rex, the two aegis girls, and Nia get to hold hands, and the ending of the third game showing a photo revealing that adult Rex had a child with all 3 girls, it is known that Rex really did love “all you guys.”
@@GoodGamerTMIt’s more likely that Nia is also with Pyra and Mythra because of of few cutscenes like where Nia says that Mythra has a “nice bod” and one of the title screens where Nia pushes Rex out from holding hands with Pyra and Mythra just for Nia to hold hands with them. I mean, Vandham’s blade IS nonbinary and two other blades are lesbian and bisexual soooo
@cptain, go away with your woke agenda. It's confirmed by creators rex had children with all 3 and he married all of them and there is not even single mention about your lesbians it's your woke imagination and typical lies.

I am amazed at how you were able to manage to explain most of the core details without falling into the trap of explaining the "raison d'etre" for each character i.e. Jin wanting an answer, Almathus for revenge etc. As well as keeping it to your comedic story telling style. Great work! Can't wait how you will do Xenoblade 3 (apart from the pain of actually animating it XD).
Finally!! After about 3 years you finally covered this game! Your video on the first game got me into the series as a whole, so this is the first time I am familiar with the game you cover before the video
something i realized just now, Nopon exist both in Alrest and the Bionis meaning that in TWO SEPERATE WORLDS they were the peak of evolution for whatever species came before them
23:25 from the perspective of character arcs this is the only satisfying way to end this story. Rex needed to learn that he couldn't do everything alone and sometimes he needs to let others handle things while pyra/mythras arc is about overcoming despair and learning to be ok with being alive so they need to survive the story.
@@ltb1345But Pneuma isn’t the true self. Mythra and Pyra, neither are facades. They’re both full characters. Pneuma is less of a character and more a respresentation of Rex’s bond with Pyra and Mythra together. Having Pneuma be there instead of Pyra and Mythra would be worse.

That description of how to revive Rex was actually less weird than in the actual game, where all Pyra says is literally "now place your hand on my chest." Now there's only 1 more video to complete the trilogy, and it's a doozy! (Especially Future Redeemed, starring Rex, Rex's daughter, Rex's great-great-grandchildren, Rex's sibling-in-law, Rex's father-in-law's reincarnation, and Rex's father-in-law's reincarnation's son, with Rex's son-in-law also playing a major role.)

Your 24 minutes video gave me much well understanding about the game's plot. I played the game for 50 hours and didn't understand as much. Thanks a bunch!
YOUR ART'S REALLY DEVELOPED WOW!! I remember my friend disses this game's plot because "Everyone is a blade actually" and while that's not lost on me, the ending emotionally suckerpunches me in the gut every time and I love this trilogy for all of what it does even when it gets crazy sometimes
Thanks!!! And yeah the endings for Xenoblade never fail to get me emotional. I even went into 3 knowing they were going to do it to me again and still shed a few tears at the ending
And Rex be like: And kids, that is how I met your 3 mothers..... XD Edit: Can you make a story about Rockman/Megaman series? I think that one is easy XD
I think that any of the the Mihoyo/Hoyoverse games (Genshin Impact, Honkai Impact/Star rail, etc.) would be an excellent addition to this series! They all have some crazy deep lore and each game’s universe is somewhat interconnected with the others just like the Xeno series (parallel universes and stuff). Only problem is that the stories are still developing because the games are updated with new content quite frequently.
This is pretty good. Regarding the Nia thing though, there's actually a late-game post-battle dialogue in 2 where Rex brings up Nia's love confession and tries to apologize, implying that he didn't mean to friendzone her.
man i first played xenoblade 1 after watching a bit of your xc1 video because i loved the idea of living on the bionis and mechonis and after that i played xenoblade 2 and i loved it and it is my favorite video game ever to this day. So happy to finally see you make a video of this game.
I just wanna take a second to tell you that watching you from the beginning, your art has improved by leaps and bounds and it is actually inspiring watching you improve.
Your video of the first game got me interested in the series and I liked the idea of the Xenoblade Chronicles 2 story ever since the Pythra dlc in Smash Bros, but never brought myself to buy the game or watch all the cutscenes on TH-cam. Thank you for the summary. Really cool. Also I would like to request a summary of the Mortal Kombat series (original timeline, second timeline, and MK1)(also MK11 and MK1 are the only games where arcade tower endings are canon; even the crossovers)
Phenomenal. Been waiting for this video. Your video on Xeno 1 is superb and knew this one was going to be just as good. Hopefully you’ll be able to do a Xeno 3 someday
About the whole nia loving rex thing, they actually do bring it up again in a post battle dialog. Rex wants to talk about what she said and she said there would be time to talk later
It doesn't fit anywhere. You could maybe stretch it and say it happen before Zanza activate the Conduit but even that's a stretch. It's pretty much it's own thing and at this point I think Nintendo is unable to make it work on Switch's inferior hardware (yes even compare to Wii U)
A lot of xenoblade x item are referenced to xenoblade 1. My theory was that Mira is a fusion of few planete new future redeemed post credit aionios and new worlds considering the old warth concept art. But I'm not so sure maybe it's just referenced. Not saying X is forgotten with all the references in just art names but maybe the plot will get heavy redcon to fit a bigger canon so x wii u would be no more canon.
YES I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS! And it hits JUST when I get back into xenoblade as well! I know this game has its issues but it will always have such a special place in my heart for so many reasons, i love it so much!
Amazing video, some cool series I’d like you to do would be The good Paper Mario games (all except sticker star and paper jam) , or the Mario and Luigi series (except paper jam), or you could do the extremely obscure series of Zelda spin-offs staring tingle, I’d prefer the tingle one
I have too much requests ! Like : Miraculous Zelda Ocarina of Time Skyward Sword Twilight princess Wind Waker Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Grey (Gris in french) (i cannot understand this game, i end it 5 ******* times !) MIRACULOUS Sorry, i needed to empty my mind, 3weeks i wanted to put this comment Your video is again a big quality, thank you so much ! I watch this every time i’m sad, 3 minutes later i smile again Have a nice day 😁
I HAVE BEEN *PRAYING* FOR THIS VIDEO EVER SINCE THE FIRST XENO VIDEO LITERALLY MY FAVORITE GAME OF ALL TIME Even though I haven't actually played all the way through... I watched the cutscene movie shown at 23:36 a while back, and it had that much of an impact on me (I did buy the game and am currently in the Spirit Crucible Elpys) Also just insane comeback on Chase's part
Note: this leaves out tons of plot points and side quests including the fact that every unique blade that core crystals can drop have thier own quest line, there's an entire family drama with a nopon antagonist named Bana, and the fact that Blades are also sold as slaves in one flashback cutscene. This game is nuts i love it.
For any xc2 players, you can actually get into the room with the conduit from the cutscene. You can watch a guide. It's in a room below Elysium (the desert area). You can get into it by clipping into one of the walls there. The room is as big as you would imagine and is something to behold.
Thats actually how i got the backgrounds for those scenes. Its a bit difficult to get there but its one of the coolest out of bounds secrets ive seen. Really cool to see that some of the cutscene exclusive rooms (maybe obviously) exist in the games and can be explored
Rex's actual response was "I love you too. I love all of you." 3 children came from that. Morag, Tora and Zeke didn't share the sentiment apparently though. :/
Awesome to see you back. I feel I need to rewatch this this understand the plot again 😅 Also. Baldur's Gate 3 was pretty fun. Would love to see you cover it 👑 🙌🏾❤
Damm!!! I remember being so bored with the cutscenes and exposition, I just gave up on the game and realized "I'm too old for this shit". Now, after seeing your video talking about that, I think I'm even older for this shit!. Great video though, and I'm glad you are back.
Important and funny note: Nia has the power to give immediate terminal cancer to every living being and she used it to give Malos super cancer at one point. Malos did not care and survived anyway.
Im kinda surprised i forgot to mention that. Theres just too much insane stuff that happens in this game

Glad to see a new vid.
And here I am, asking once again, for you to cover Octopath. Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk
And Rex be like: And kids, that is how I met your 3 mothers..... XD
Edit: Can you make a story about Rockman/Megaman series? I think that one is easy XD
NEW CHASE KIP VIDEO LETSGOOOOOO!!!!! Can't wait to see if you ever make a video series on the Trails series lol. Great work as always!
I never thought this would come out after all these years but i'm surprised, glad, and happy.
He uploaded, my king has returned
This actually explained some stuff I was confused about when I first watched the game lol
Thanks Kip!
Np!
I think that any of the the Mihoyo/Hoyoverse games (Genshin Impact, Honkai Impact/Star rail, etc.) would be an excellent addition to this series! They all have some crazy deep lore and each game’s universe is somewhat interconnected with the others just like the Xeno series (parallel universes and stuff). Only problem is that the stories are still developing because the games are updated with new content quite frequently.
This is the best way to learn video games in my eyes dude. It keeps getting better 🔥
Thanks!
And this is all in a single game with dlc. Incredible world building and story.
God I can't imagine the work that went into this. Well done my lad!!!
Its a lot of work making these long videos for sure, glad you liked it!
This is pretty good. Regarding the Nia thing though, there's actually a late-game post-battle dialogue in 2 where Rex brings up Nia's love confession and tries to apologize, implying that he didn't mean to friendzone her.
14:48 yet more Roc erasure
Thank you for that humorous but quite adequate summary of my favourite game of all time!
Animation work, artworks and script are phenomenal as always
LETS GO I WAITED SO LONG FOR THIS
XC3 explained is gonna go crazy
the long awaited sequel to xenoblade chronicles 1 explaineed in 22 minutes
man i first played xenoblade 1 after watching a bit of your xc1 video because i loved the idea of living on the bionis and mechonis and after that i played xenoblade 2 and i loved it and it is my favorite video game ever to this day. So happy to finally see you make a video of this game.
Hot diggity daffodil, it’s time to forget my worries and watch a 20+ min video!
I just wanna take a second to tell you that watching you from the beginning, your art has improved by leaps and bounds and it is actually inspiring watching you improve.
Waited 3 and a half years for this.
Your video of the first game got me interested in the series and I liked the idea of the Xenoblade Chronicles 2 story ever since the Pythra dlc in Smash Bros, but never brought myself to buy the game or watch all the cutscenes on TH-cam. Thank you for the summary. Really cool.
Also I would like to request a summary of the Mortal Kombat series (original timeline, second timeline, and MK1)(also MK11 and MK1 are the only games where arcade tower endings are canon; even the crossovers)
Been waiting for this one
Glad to deliver hope you like it!
great video bro very well done loved it
Xenoblade Chroicles 2 is my favorite story game of all time so i was really looking forward to this video
I played the first and the 3rd but haven't done the second one yet
@@thetruekingofwaffles you definitly should its my favorite in terms of story by far
Paper Mario has some very in-depth lore
Glad you are able to make this Kip
You did your best and we can wait
I’m not sure if this is true but I think that Rex canonically marries both Pyra and Mythra
It is
And Nia too cuz why tf not?
Phenomenal. Been waiting for this video. Your video on Xeno 1 is superb and knew this one was going to be just as good. Hopefully you’ll be able to do a Xeno 3 someday
4:25 uhm… what?
All I need to know to bring her there 🤷♂️
About the whole nia loving rex thing, they actually do bring it up again in a post battle dialog. Rex wants to talk about what she said and she said there would be time to talk later
Where does Xenoblade Chronicles X fit in all of this?
It doesn't fit anywhere. You could maybe stretch it and say it happen before Zanza activate the Conduit but even that's a stretch. It's pretty much it's own thing and at this point I think Nintendo is unable to make it work on Switch's inferior hardware (yes even compare to Wii U)
We have no idea
We don't know, no real clues on when X could ever take place.
A lot of xenoblade x item are referenced to xenoblade 1.
My theory was that Mira is a fusion of few planete new future redeemed post credit aionios and new worlds considering the old warth concept art.
But I'm not so sure maybe it's just referenced. Not saying X is forgotten with all the references in just art names but maybe the plot will get heavy redcon to fit a bigger canon so x wii u would be no more canon.
Dude I’ve been asking for this for sooooooooo long, even if you didn’t see my comments, thank you 🙏
Hope you liked it!
YES! I'm so happy this day came. I loved your XC1 video and I can't wait for XC3 someday! I hope! :) Great work as always.
Glad you liked it!
Bro when i played xenoblade 2 for the first time i absolutely loved it and i cant wait to play xenoblade 3. great vid mate thx for making it
New Chase Kip upload. Let me push everything aside to watch this heat!!!
YES I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS! And it hits JUST when I get back into xenoblade as well! I know this game has its issues but it will always have such a special place in my heart for so many reasons, i love it so much!
Finally! The Xenoblade 2 video I've been waiting so long for, Thank you very much!
My girlfriend audibly laughed at me at the remark about buying those 300 dollar figurines... irreparable damage done to my ego
Amazing video, some cool series I’d like you to do would be The good Paper Mario games (all except sticker star and paper jam) , or the Mario and Luigi series (except paper jam), or you could do the extremely obscure series of Zelda spin-offs staring tingle, I’d prefer the tingle one
I have too much requests ! Like :
Miraculous
Zelda Ocarina of Time
Skyward Sword
Twilight princess
Wind Waker
Xenoblade Chronicles 3
Grey (Gris in french) (i cannot understand this game, i end it 5 ******* times !)
MIRACULOUS
Sorry, i needed to empty my mind, 3weeks i wanted to put this comment
Your video is again a big quality, thank you so much ! I watch this every time i’m sad, 3 minutes later i smile again
Have a nice day 😁
Fun fact: I always thought the dude from the “mission failed we will get em next time” meme was rex
Also: 0:48 ya know what’s bigger? Rex’s rizz
I genuinely laughed so hard at 15:08 . Arguably the best unintentional joke in the video.
Oh yes, xenoblade 2 from you. This made my day ❤❤❤
I'm glad!!
I just finished replaying this! Played 1 and 2 together so found your videos. Perfect timing.
I always look forward to your videos man. Thanks for making another banger
“I LOVE YOU AND ALL YOU GUYS” is the funniest quote ive heard with the context
I HAVE BEEN *PRAYING* FOR THIS VIDEO EVER SINCE THE FIRST XENO VIDEO
LITERALLY MY FAVORITE GAME OF ALL TIME
Even though I haven't actually played all the way through...
I watched the cutscene movie shown at 23:36 a while back, and it had that much of an impact on me
(I did buy the game and am currently in the Spirit Crucible Elpys)
Also just insane comeback on Chase's part
Awesome hope you like the video!
@@ChaseKip It was everything I could have asked for! Definitely one of my favorite videos from you.
@@ChaseKip...Except for one thing. Did you mean to draw Pyra's sword as just Mythra's but red?
Note: this leaves out tons of plot points and side quests including the fact that every unique blade that core crystals can drop have thier own quest line, there's an entire family drama with a nopon antagonist named Bana, and the fact that Blades are also sold as slaves in one flashback cutscene.
This game is nuts i love it.
For any xc2 players, you can actually get into the room with the conduit from the cutscene. You can watch a guide. It's in a room below Elysium (the desert area). You can get into it by clipping into one of the walls there. The room is as big as you would imagine and is something to behold.
Thats actually how i got the backgrounds for those scenes. Its a bit difficult to get there but its one of the coolest out of bounds secrets ive seen. Really cool to see that some of the cutscene exclusive rooms (maybe obviously) exist in the games and can be explored
Xeno 3!!! In all seriousness though this video is very well made and helpful! Keep up the good work.
Jokes aside, the Pyra artwork on the thumbnail is very good
I love it. I'm very excited for when Xenoblade 3 gets explained.
Rex's actual response was "I love you too. I love all of you." 3 children came from that. Morag, Tora and Zeke didn't share the sentiment apparently though. :/
I've been WAITING FOR THIS VIDEO SOO LONNGG THank you MR. KIP!!!
Awesome to see you back. I feel I need to rewatch this this understand the plot again 😅
Also. Baldur's Gate 3 was pretty fun. Would love to see you cover it
👑 🙌🏾❤
Damm!!! I remember being so bored with the cutscenes and exposition, I just gave up on the game and realized "I'm too old for this shit". Now, after seeing your video talking about that, I think I'm even older for this shit!. Great video though, and I'm glad you are back.
