All the cutscenes in Xenoblade Chronicles 2 that have the "Counterattack" track play. Obvious spoilers. Timestamps: 0:00 5:49 11:49 16:33 18:14 20:01 23:27 24:57
Yeah, gotta say, this theme is the "enter mythra" theme. Really no other cutscene that's as good other than pyra's intro. Epic as hell, and her scream just before transforming is excellent.
X2 was my first game of the series. And I haven't played much jrpg to begin with. And i tell you. When that first scene dropped with counterattack at the back. I WAS FUCKIN MINDBLOWN ! I couldn't forget a second of it to this day it's crazy.
Sure Jin killing Fan so casually may seem heartless, listen to how Fan speaks as Amalthus' Blade compared to how she spoke when she was Lora's Blade alongside Jin in the Torna DLC. When she was awoken as Amalthus' Blade, he broke her spirit and turned her into mindless servant and Jin couldn't bear to see a former comrade whom he deemed a dear friend in such a state.
Holy shit. I‘ve rewatched these cutscenes multiple times already, but just now realized that the explosion at the end of the first Morag battle is basically the elemental chain for „Steam Explosion“ (Fire->Water->Fire).
Monado Max Are you sure? (DON'T FORGET ME) I personally don't mind (DON'T FORGET ME) when something (DON'T FORGET ME) plays (DON'T FORGET ME) more than (DON'T FORGET ME) a few (DON'T FORGET ME) times. (THINK YOU CAN TAKE ME)
I'm not asking for it to play all the time, I just think it didn't really fit with some cutscenes where it did play. One of them is literally just Jin and the rest standing there for example. It also doesn't help that this theme gets cuts short every time after the Mythra awakens scene.
To the people who think rex’s voice actor didn’t do good it’s because they didn’t give him proper voice direction during the time they recorded his lines they basically set him up to fail
+ one reason this game is gold I was really disappointed when the counterattack of xc3(weight of life) didnt get the same treatment having such an amazing song make amazing moments
The game was amazing and I loved every second of playing it the music was a good part of the game but the introduction of Siren for the first time in the game shot the game from10/10 to a 20/10. What can I say I love me some giant robots and some rockin music.
@@pokeleoantiqua7326 I would pick The World Tree for being an iconic location and a major point of interest. Maybe like a "tour stage" (Like Delfino Plaza) Where you battle outside of it and inside.
23:28 This Scene,THIS SCENE. This scene is where my Xenoblade 2 Fanboy starts showing,It’s just too Epic. Pyra and Mythra finally become The True Nature (and my favourite Aegis form cuz Pneuma is just so good) Which shows the Bond Between Rex and Aegis is already Maxed,And shown in fullest Potential (I still don’t know why the make Pneuma Rank E Trust and no Affinity Chart)
@@gg_novastar8492 Knowing the way they do things I'd say they gonna be there for the very last part of the game in a "next future over extremely connected" mission and that's it. Shulk and Fiora were in XB2 too but you get them so late in the game that by the time you get them you already have last fight unlocked in game and there's nothing left to do. So yeah, unless they show up early and they stay in party without plot armor then I'd say fat chance.
I just finished uploading Xenoblade 1... played 2 first and loved it so much. came here to rewatch it so I can do a comparison and say which is better. It was my first ever youtube playthrough! I’d love if you guys would check it out... just a college student really trying to make it...
Reasons why I love xc2: it has everything you could want! An interesting plot, badass fight scenes, an absolutely banger soundtrack… and waifus! Honestly what more could you want in a JRPG
Genuinely if XC2:DE ever happens all i ask for is for them to get Rex’s VA to redub the lines with context, redub some of the earlier linee that landed a bit flat and to add lip syncing to the english dub like in 3, genuinely that’s the only issues you could ever have with the english dub
No. It. Isn't. I mean, seriously, other then some of Rex's screams, the dub is better. I mean, god Nia sounds soooooo bad in Japanese, I can't imagine her with that 4 year old voice, and it makes me not take her character seriously. Subbed is overrated.
Wdym Zeke was amazing and Rex had like 3 cringe screams in the entire game and was perfect the rest but they got kinda screwed by lip sync sometimes but it isn't THAT bad
I don't blame him. The voice directors should have helped him. He was really good in the final boss 2nd phase cutscene, he showed great emotion and actually yelled perfectly. If they helped him or of the battle cutscenes could have been much better
he is a good voice actor everyone should Shit Up. Mórag and Nia sounded like old women, Mythra like a teenage Boy in the beginning. The voice actor did a very good job, negative emotions where the problem noone could be sad and angry with some exceptions. Blame the voice director, also it takes time to get into a role, compare torna with the base game
@@untitlednobody9009 Nia is meant to be a Wlesh catgirl and Mórag a Scottish royal family member, I think they’re played really well. Mythra gets better I’ll admit, but I don’t think teenage boy quite fits the description.
Hkg 1 I don’t know, the song is just so overwhelming for what’s going on, and them speaking kinda ruins it. Also, I just don’t like the song in general. But that’s just my opinion. Like at 21:17 the guy (I don’t know his name) is just speaking and the music is like *AYYY LETS GO BOYS EPIC MOMENT RIGHT HERE BETTER BLAST THE BEAT YOU ALREADY HEARD LIKE 5 TIMES IN YOUR EARS*
@@ciao-8273 well this is a climatic moment where it's revealed Jin is a blade and it's super suspenseful when he takes the mask off and the OST peaks to match it and TBH I can't think of anything more fitting for this moment
In my opinion the screams being worse in the beginning make sense, rex is a child trying to play hero, whereas in chapter 10 you hear his scream against Malos, expertly showing his growth and his conviction.
Whoever is directing these cutsences deserves an award.
FUCK YEAH!!!
Exactly!
My one critique is lipsync, but that is ridiculously hard so it's mostly fine.
@@spiritflame8806 plus this was an originally Japanese game. Its essentially like an anime dub.
How about getting to make a Smash trailer?
My favorite part was when the music was so loud you couldn't hear them speaking
Ben which jrpg was that?
Maybe you should clean your ears? I never had any problems with understanding them. And that means a lot, since I've got really bad ears.
@@PhazonKing he's saying the voice acting is bad brother read between the lines
It doesn’t happent that often, but it’s annoying when it does.
i honestly love the music so much i don't even have a problem with it
3:22
Rex: "Oh shi-"
Cannons: *no swearing on my christian server*
Actually, Azurda interrupted him, plus, characters like Malos say shit all the time.
Edit: Seperation of church and Internet.
U forget mate?
@@maxrichards3881 Christian Minecraft server has been a meme for a while now.
@@ultrapika1875
I’m aware. Doesn’t change that Malos curses a million times an hour, so he’s getting banned first.
The first cutscene alone pretty much sums up why I love this game
this is the official someones about to get their ass kicked theme
The amount of times it plays when Morag is around makes me associate this song with her.
Twice? Haha
It plays with Jin and Malos like 3-4 times
Yeah, honestly I associate it more with vandam who is only around once when the song plays, than Mòrag
Yeah, gotta say, this theme is the "enter mythra" theme. Really no other cutscene that's as good other than pyra's intro. Epic as hell, and her scream just before transforming is excellent.
@@bobthebuilder609 With you. I also like how the key change happens with perfect timing during the first use of Foresight.

It was out of mercy

Counterattack is the best music in this game
Agree
My favourite theme in the game
With you will recall our names
I've always been partial to Torigoth (Night).
Finally someone did this! Thank you!
-why does it only play 8 times-
Monado Max if it plays to much then it'll lose its effect.
Monado Max Are you sure? (DON'T FORGET ME) I personally don't mind (DON'T FORGET ME) when something (DON'T FORGET ME) plays (DON'T FORGET ME) more than (DON'T FORGET ME) a few (DON'T FORGET ME) times. (THINK YOU CAN TAKE ME)

Landon Gaming rip the best meme on the game, now we just have *ROUGE*
Engage the Enemy played the same amount of times in XC1 as well
that first one was rex fucking up his VA and then Pyra is just "let me show you how it's done"
She did be like "rah"
Rex's VA had no contacts of The scenes Until the final scene,s Of the game
To the people who think rex’s voice actor didn’t do good it’s because they didn’t give him proper voice direction during the time they recorded his lines they basically set him up to fail
I’ll never get over Malos’s intense rises and drops in tone. 😂🥰
Resume of the video:
People talking
Particles
You forgot one thing
Antagonists losing the upper hand
That first scene where the music begins as soon as you see Pyra running is too good
When Pyra and Mythra become Pneuma it becomes absolutely satisfying.
You know you’re about to win the battle and lose in the cutscene when this starts playing
Pyra was bad asf in the beginning, damn.
Japeth
Pyra was never a bad character. WTF are you talking about?
@@maxrichards3881 I don't think you understand what I meant.
Japeth
What do you mean by “bad asf”?
Max Richards
The exact opposite of what you’re thinking lmfao
Ashyy
Then please explain. Vagueness only creates confusion.
I forgot how much of a badass Pyra was in that first cutscene.
Oh, that cutscene with Jin hits so much harder with full context.
"Do you actually have a plan or is that too much to expect?" Jesus, the sass.
I was literally thinking about searching this then it came up in my recommended lol
So Rex has so much plot armor that a 6min ost has almost 30min screen time.
Understandable
First XC1 piano notes and now XC2 guitar riff gave me anxiety.
Wait úntil XC3 and then u will see what is anxiety
What's next? Opera singers?
@@xicision2533 haha
@@xicision2533 it was a choir, close
The voice actor for malos has had the most fun doing his job.
Jin you still persist
I can’t believe Jin, his weakness is that he cares about his Driver too much. He refuses to forget her.
Believe It, And yeah mahlos And pneumia can Kick his ass off easily
Best music in the game and no one can argue with me!
Those who block the path we would wish to travel upon
Xenoblade 2 is actually like way too good
+ one reason this game is gold I was really disappointed when the counterattack of xc3(weight of life) didnt get the same treatment having such an amazing song make amazing moments
I'm so glad this exists.
JUST EXCELLENT,THE GAME AND THE VIDEO 10/10,I love this :v
Rex's scream never gets old. Even 5 years later
I always remember the scene of Pyra above Malos with her sword as she jumps off when I hear this song
1:18 Beyblade Malos vs Flic Flac Pyra
I thought that Endless Possibility - Sonic Unleashed is the best song of any game until I heard this
Feels like an anime
What a first good impression of a game
I felt in love already here
0:37 dab
Dab Police!
You're telling me Rex could reach that water tower with that hook but not across that ledge?
I needed this video so much
The game was amazing and I loved every second of playing it the music was a good part of the game but the introduction of Siren for the first time in the game shot the game from10/10 to a 20/10. What can I say I love me some giant robots and some rockin music.
you should play X next you can play as the robots in that one

'Optimus Prime has Returned'
I hope we see Rex and friends again in the future
22:31 wtf is that reaction Mythra
Theses scenes are so good!
Rex screams hurt to listen too because of how it's so *painful*
To listen to
Have you ever listened to shulk's?
Rex sounds like Eggsy from Kingsman for some reason lol
Anh Truongminh omg ur right he sounds like Taron egerton
I WANT REX IN SMAAAAAAAAH!!😭😭😭
B REX 34
He needs to be DLC
Agreed, and with a stage and *more* Xenoblade 2 music!
Why
Definitely
What do you think the stage should be?
@@pokeleoantiqua7326
I would pick The World Tree for being an iconic location and a major point of interest.
Maybe like a "tour stage" (Like Delfino Plaza)
Where you battle outside of it and inside.
Why
That’s sounds like a cool idea but I think if they picked anything they would probably pick Gormott
0:18 is that a Roblox oof?
Yes i heard it
Best game ever

This Scene,THIS SCENE.
This scene is where my Xenoblade 2 Fanboy starts showing,It’s just too Epic.

Man I SO wish Xenoblade Chronicles 3 would start with grown up Rex and BOTH Pyra and Mythra by his side and he could use them both in the same time!
YES.

Me to my enemies: BEHOLD! THE POWER OF FRIENDSHIP!!! >:D
**Genesis saber intensifies**

Fruit roll-ups Boi
Yeah same
actually laughed out loud wow
Reasons why I love xc2: it has everything you could want! An interesting plot, badass fight scenes, an absolutely banger soundtrack… and waifus! Honestly what more could you want in a JRPG
XC2 used to be my least favourite of the trilogy, but I've warmed up to it lately.
Vandhaaaaaaaam
Seen an few comments saying that English dub is garbage and don't fit the characters. How more wrong can those people be?
I’ll admit the Japanese is solid overall but the English has way more character everyone is distinguishable and all races have there own voices
Genuinely if XC2:DE ever happens all i ask for is for them to get Rex’s VA to redub the lines with context, redub some of the earlier linee that landed a bit flat and to add lip syncing to the english dub like in 3, genuinely that’s the only issues you could ever have with the english dub
without you i means nothing.

awesome videogame

As much as I give this game rather DESERVED shit, Morag is such an MVP I love her so much.
Anyone else came here to look at Mythra? 😏
I want to love this song, but it plays waaaaayyyy to much for it to have the intended effect
It only plays 8 times and it takes place in less then 30 minutes of cutscene in about 80-100 hour game
For me it plays to little honestly
@@sirkeegio2256 it plays like once a chapter, to the point I thought it was the boss theme
Have you played Xenoblade Chronicles 1
Engage the enemy is a great song and it plays 9 times
I really love the scenes with this music! But man the english dub is really unbearable.
No... The English dub is good...
I played it dubbed and subbed. Subbed is always superior. No. Matter. What.
No. It. Isn't. I mean, seriously, other then some of Rex's screams, the dub is better. I mean, god Nia sounds soooooo bad in Japanese, I can't imagine her with that 4 year old voice, and it makes me not take her character seriously. Subbed is overrated.
Eh I have always preferred subbed things over dubbed because that's how I like it. Plus japanese sounds really emotional and awesome to me
Japanese is almost always unbearable to me. I'd take "bad" English over any japanese 9 times out of 10
I was so happy to be able to use Japanese voices.
The english voices are pretty awful and none of them fit the character they're dubbing >
Wdym Zeke was amazing and Rex had like 3 cringe screams in the entire game and was perfect the rest but they got kinda screwed by lip sync sometimes but it isn't THAT bad
