our journey to elysium has ended 😭😭😭 thank you for reliving this magnificent journey with me! your continuous support has really motivated me to do my best at providing videos for you all! apologies if my videos aren't as entertaining as you wanted it to be as i'm very new at editing and condensing long stream vods. i promise that i will continue to learn to be better! once again, thank you so much everyone for your support and i hope that i did this game justice! and see you guys next week, with xenoblade chronicles 2: torna - the golden country ❤️
glad you enjoy this masterpiece, xc1 elitists dont like people who enjoy xc2 but you are a genuine and lovely person. Glad you felt the same way like us when playing XC2 for the first time!
@@skyeifer rex met his creator and made him happy for the first time in who knows how long while shulk over in the other side doing the literal opposite and making zanza shit himself while screaming his lungs out💀
Fun fact: You can interact with various objects in Elysium and each party member has a unique dialogue for each if you set them as leader. Apparently Zeke can play piano and has composed his own Symphonies.
@@skyeifer Chuggaconroy (did I spell that right?) is likely the best place to look for little tidbits like this. He did a Live Play of the game a while back where he literally covered everything. And I mean everything. Even outside of the trivia, its still a great series. He even did one for XBC1 and there is likely to be one for 3 in the future, likely some time after the DLC story is released.
@@skyeifer he is responsible for really showing the franchise to more people in North America. I got into the series and watched his playthrough as it released, so around 2015
Considering how Alvis had a necklace shaped like a core crystal, and the fact that he said he was a computer, it's implied that Alvis is Ontos, the part of the Trinity Processor that went missing to another dimension. Our beloved Alvis was an Aegis all along!
@@skyeifer One additional thing about that, that you couldn't know, Alvis' core crystal was the only major design change in Definitive Edition. In the original he had a key around his neck instead.
Malos is the best Xenoblade vilain. His motives, connections to the origin of the world and to the other torna members is incredibly well written imo.And yes what a performance from his voice actor especially in this chapter.
I think Jin is a bit better of a character as a whole, (Malos is close behind) but although Jin's English VA is great, Malos' English VA is seriously on another level. Who would've expected a thomas the train VA to be this good?
yeahh i had some discussion with people in the chat about ontos after the stream but i lost the footage 😭 but holy hell it shocked the heck out of me!!!!! 😱😱😱🤯🤯🤯
The lack of voice direction really shows with the gramp va doing the baby gramps voice for the nightmare adult gramps scene but maybe they just didnt care about telling the VA to fix it or just didnt have the time still
I’ve been waiting for this! Aaaaaah! I did a marathon of your playthrough since yesterday and I’m so glad to have relived this experience with this channel. Now, on to Torna we go, on to the past, and on to more broken hearts and broken tearducts!
Apparently, they had lines recorded for the post-credits scene, first off, whether you got Pyra or Mythra saying them depended on who you picked for Pneuma's name; then there's the lines themselves, two lines were recorded for each girl, one in which they say "I'm home", implying they kept their memories, in the other they say "I am [Name]", meaning they lost their memories like all other blades. Utlimately they decided to not use any and just leave it ambiguous.
I believe they do have their memories, after all even Alvis kinda have his/her memories in xb3 even after he "died" same with Malos after his body was destroyed in Torna. If Pyra/Mythra said "I am [name]" in that moment I believe Poppi will have a shocked face for a moment since she's close with them that time. But she doesn't change her expression and just look at Rex happily.
That ID tag that you get after the boss where Jin leaves the party looks very similarly to the one that Galea wore in the first cutscene of this chapter
@@skyeifer it is theorized that the killing of that monster is part of the reason that Mayneth dies as they are linked just like klause and zanza also the name Zanza Klause sounds like Santa Clause that last part have basically no meaning but is fun to point out
And thus, Skye met Xenoblade Chronicles 2. It seems we're at the end of this long (and emotional) journey. Xenoblade 2 is one of my favourite games of all time. The story, characters, gameplay, presentation are something to behold. It's amazing how this game both acts as a stand-alone entry and a follow-up to the original Xenoblade Chronicles. That entire beginning sequence perfectly illustrates this. It's a sequence that gets explained as an in-universe thing with how life "began" after it ended in the Xenoblade 2 world. But if you played Xenoblade 1, it suddenly adds so much depth to Klaus/Zanza as a character. In Xenoblade 1, we knew he destroyed the universe before, but never knew why. But now we know. It wasn't the simple curiosity of a single man that destroyed the universe, but desperation. A desperate attempt to survive in a world that's slowly dying (parallels :] ). I wouldn't say that Xenoblade 2 is completely without flaws, but those flaws/shortcomings I can easily look past since everything else is either done so exceptionally well, or because it really appeals to me as a person.
hi there! yeah i felt like i just had a really really long dream after beating this game.. and you're right about that, i'm so glad that i played xenoblade 1 before i played this. it's just so mindblowing! the flaws in this game are not that major in my opinion, and again, i personally don't think there's a perfect game. this game is the perfect definition of the perfect imperfection ❤️
He certainly wasn't _not_ curious about what would come of recreating the universe like that, but it was definitely desperation that drove him to see it through. Alvis was awfully biased with his summarizing.
Something funny is that Fiora is one of the most broken blades in the game due to her skill of increasing damage by the number of crits get gets and she has an art that can do 6 hits very quickly and recharges pretty fast too
i just discovered your channel a couple of weeks ago and boy did I enjoy your whole playthrough. You probably have one of the best Xenoblade playthroughs on TH-cam and your reactions were genuine & pure gold. I also love the fact that not only you cared for the story, but you also cared so much for the characters, the music and every single detail in this game. I'm looking forward to watching your playthrough of Torna, Xenoblade 3 and other games on your channel. Congratulations on beating the game by the way, this game is truly a masterpiece
hi there! omg thank you so much for the kind words! i really appreciate you and i'm so glad that you enjoyed the whole playthrough. this really made my day! 😭
I agree with what you said: Xenoblade is more special because of the second one, and Xenoblade 2 is more special because of the original. It is as Alvis told us by the end of the first Xenoblade, “hand in hand”.
Checked the comments and I don't believe anyone's mentioned this yet, but you actually get 2 new titles screens if you beat the game on New Game Plus (2 variations of the normal one after beating the game) The first one has Nia come and shove Rex from behind, taking his place in holding hands with Pyra and Mythra while Rex looks back and embarrassingly scratches the back of his head The second has Rex, Pyra, and Mythra turn around and invite Nia to join them. Having all 4 of them holding hands
This game is really special, it looks bright on the outside but inside it addresses a lot of serious topics like existential crisis, suicidal tendency, the connection between human and nature or how good and evil is not always black and white.
Morag and Zeke do not introduce themselves to Shulk and Fiora because the earliest point in the story when you could have entered the portal was before they joined your party. So the devs took a short cut by just removing them from dialogue. Also the title screen theme always hits the hardest after your first completion of the game, I think, because the song is about the Aegises.
Yaaaay ! Honestly that first cutscene with Klaus still blows my mind to this day! And that ending 😭 it was awesome to follow you discover this game. Can’t wait for Torna now !
You know this is like my third time watching this, I gotta give you credit out of all the folks I've watched play this game you followed the story and understood character motivations the best.
Fun fact the last normal enemies have unique battle music that is nowhere else in the game and few people hear it as they think they don't need the exp or just don't want to fight non boss monsters
So in case anything went over your head, essentially, during the cutscene at the beginning, you are seeing Klaus creating the universe that Xenoblade 1 takes place in, however their world is destroyed while this is happening. Half of Klaus, his god complex half, moves to 1's world and becomes Zanza, and Galea become Meyneth. The other half of Klaus is stricken with guilt and left in the world that his actions destroyed, becoming the architect. The architect created core crystals and the cloud sea and sends them down onto his world, which becomes Alrest, the core crystals feed information back to the Trinity Processor, which is made up of Pneuma (mythra and pyra), Logos (malos), and Ontos. He also seeds life into Alrest and allows it to evolve however it does, presumably disguising the low orbit station "beanstalk" as the world Tree. Ontos at some point fucks off 1's world and becomes Alvis, giving Zanza and Meyneth their godly abilities and allowing them to create Mechonis and Bionis.
Also the other thing I hinted at in old comment is that big enemy you fight in the tornan womb is actually galea (meyneth) going off the ID card that rex picks up after they defeat it. Its depressing that klaus's love becomes a monster in the world hes a depressed good guy in and a god in the world where klaus(or zanza)eventually wasn't a good guy. Regardless both klaus experience extreme loneliness but zanza took a different path due to it. I think if you want look at the fog king's existence in future connected perhaps it's due to meyneth dying and the world's both wanted galea's soul although that implies galea is basically getting the fiora treatment and having to be a passenger in her own "mindless body" so perhaps galea's soul went to 1's world while her body stayed in 2's and became a disfigured mess of a creature and machinery who knows
im so glad you managed to finish this game! out of the xenoblade trilogy i genuinley love all of the games so much, and xenoblade 3 might be my favorite out of the lot. but my god, i have such a soft spot for 2 for being the first xenoblade game i ever played. there's just something magical about this game experiencing this series for the first time, and i def cried a lot while playing looking forward to your torna series as well as xenoblade 3 if you get around to it! i will confirm that 3 made me cry the most out of 1 and 2 combined, so i can't wait to see you experience it all!
xenoblade 2 is such a great game! and yes it's sooo magical, just like the ending song said... it's truly magical 😭 and i also can't wait to share my torna and xenoblade 3 experience with you!
There's a few creators whose playthroughs of this game I rewatch often to experience this game again. Yours will join that group. Thank you for sharing, really glad you enjoyed it as much as you did.
So much fun following your journey with this game! Thank you so much for sharing! It’s incredible how this games story somehow keeps getting better every time I watch through it
"I'm not sure I'm going to play Torna" PLAY IT!!!! Seriously, PLAY IT!! OMG REALLY REALLY PLAY IT! Do not pass by the masterpiece that is Torna The Golden Country!
Ontos deniers are in shambles after that xc3 dlc teaser but yeah if it wasn't clear before alvis is ontos and most people thought that alvis got transported into the xc1 universe before or with zanza but actually he goes to the xc1 verse after architect klaus begins planning his reconstruction of the world so basically the timeline goes like this, klaus activates the conduit aka zohar, he rips the universe apart and sends half of himself and others into other universes, architect klaus plans to rebuild the world so he readies the trinity processor, alvis initiates the space time transition event and then goes to do his business in xc1
I'm glad you came to the same conclusion as me! This is also my favorite game of all time, and I can't wait to see your reactions to Torna and Xenoblade 3, especially if those VODs are available anywhere. Looking forward to the future of your channel!
hi there! thank you so much for supporting this channel 🥹 and i'm sorry that the vods aren't available anywhere, twitch has been muting a lot of vods recently 😭 but stay tuned for torna, xc3 and much more jrpgs on the channel! ☺️
@@skyeifer yeah architect klaus is basically supposed to be the logical and calculated side while zanza is the impulsive emotional side but both are false gods...it's actually kinda rare seeing the logical side being the better one
Glad the recommendations came through, been loving all of your Xenoblade videos! It's always been a pleasure watching people play these games for the first time, and it warms my heart that you've enjoyed your experience with XC2! The game does unfortunately get overlooked due to the anime art style, but everything from the story, characters, music, and world are just amazing. Really excited to see your videos for Torna, it's such an amazing experience especially knowing what happens in the base game (it's what made Mythra my favorite character of all time!) Keep up the great work, you're a joy to watch!
hello there! ahhh thank you so much for your kind words! i'm so glad that all of you xc2 community have been enjoying the playthrough! and yes, please look forward for torna! it will be uploaded next week! have an amazing day! 😊
Congratulations on finishing the game! This is always such a journey. Fun thing about this - after finishing XC1 and 2 for the first time, I was convinced that the first game had a better story. But after watching other playthroughs and replaying both games, I completely changed my mind. While the first game's twists and foreshadowing are very impressive, the story itself and character arcs aren't nearly as good. These cutscenes still make me cry every time.
hi! thank you so much!! the first game's twists were really great and mindblowing, and yes i have to agree that the character arcs in this game are justttt amazing! 😭
👏👏👏😭 Masterful. The bridge scene, how many times I have cried through it.........and it never fails me. As you say, you feel bad for all the "bad guys". Thats beautiful. All of the enemies, to different degrees, at some point you simply emphatise with... (Amalthus being the lowest but even HIM got his "human" scene saving zeke coz pandy and him reminded him of he and his mother)... Such a beautiful game...... One question remains though. One not even the Arcithect himself could answer..... What's the 5th rule of the salvager's Code!!!!
aaaaaaa yeah that's so trueee! as much as we don't agree and hate amalthus' actions, he was once a victim of human's cruelty 😭😭😭 omg i didn't even realize that we never got the 5th rule!!! 😂😂😂
@@skyeifer In that case, do yourself a favor. Whenever you can go play the game, skip travel to Radamanthus Portal (Space area just before Elysium ruins), go up the stairs but instead of heading to Elysium check the boards on the walls, the ones that say "A1"....read carefully :)
@@skyeifer I almost screamed. Then I jumped up and was like "NO! It can't be!" Then I spoke the parts together with Klaus. And at the end I only cried.
Thank you for this awesome journey Skye. It's been so much fun watching you experience my favorite game of all time for the first time! I always look forward to the next video. I can't wait to see you play Torna and Xenoblade 3.
hi there! thank you so much for reexperiencing this journey with me! i hope that i did this game justice and i hope i was able to entertain you ☺️ stay tuned for torna and xc3!
Thank you for giving this game a chance and see your reactions, i cry every time with this game man its just amazing :'), next is torna and XC3, i bet you love those games too
Fun fact poppi's forms in the jp version are references to different states of life going from elementary, high school the qtpi is college and if you ever wanted to know what they are poppi's name is Hana in japan
@@skyeifer mythra is Hikari (translates to light)[a possible reason for the change if the fact that Hikari is a very common name for girls] Pyra is homura(idk if I spelled that right)
Xenoblade 2 is my all-time favorite as well. It’s flawed, but that’s ok. If I ever forget or feel like something else is taking over that top spot, all I have to do is see the last few hours alone or think about all of the people in the world of Alrest to remember.
Finally the end of this journey , i really love this game, its my favorite xeno even with all the flaws, i don't know why but there's something special about this game. Thankyou for sharing your experence , these videos really helped me going trhu a difficult time, you're awesome. Can't wait for torna , hope i'll be able to catch the streams someday. (Im Sorry if i made mistakes but english is hard lol)
hi there! this game is a pure definition of imperfect percection! thank you so much for the kind words and i'm glad that i'm able to help you going through tough times, and i hope you're doing better now.. and don't worry, english isn't my first language either! and your english is fine! we shall throw grammar out of the window! ☺️☺️☺️
_"Let's begin the experiment!"_ - ...I'll just say it now. The Conduit's shape, and the Aegis' Core Crystal shape, is exactly the same as a very similar object from Xenosaga - the Zohar. - There are actually two different Pyra/Nia Lv4 Blade Specials. The one used depends on which one is currently active. - All the Drivers have different confused descriptions of the swingset. It's kinda sad to witness... - To be clear, what Rex encounters in the dim mindscape are born from Rex's own woes. He was more worried about how everyone else felt over his own well-being... - To summarize: Klaus's experiment with the Conduit fundamentally broke Earth, one half being isolated in its own pocket dimension as the world of Bionis and Mechonis. These halves would eventually be repaired into their own full worlds, by the efforts of Klaus and Alvis. - Every Core Crystal is like an ether-based supercomputer. Much like Alvis...And of course, the brain cell replacement purpose explains how they could be transplanted into people like Rex and Zeke to heal them. - The Cloud Sea's ability to remake matter into familiar objects is how salvagers always have things to fish out of it. - Xenoblade Chronicles 2: Cure God's Depression - As Tora states, Poppi's modes represent different ages - Alpha is a little girl, QT is a teen maid, and QT Pi is a young adult. Interestingly, each new mode looks much closer to a human than the last. (Oh, and all three modes have the same voice actress, hehe.) - There's actually one more guest "Blade" from the Land of Challenge - Elma! (Oh, since you can access the Land of Challenge as early as the start of Chapter 4, the cutscene only has Rex, Pyra, Nia, Dromarch, Tora, and Poppi talking.) (I guess since you have the Expansion Pass, you can get another artificial Blade that the other Drivers can use.) - The final battle truly has some "Suicide By Cop" vibes to it, doesn't it...? Malos's only friends are all gone now, his Father is about to vanish, and Amalthus's despair is still lingering. It's no wonder he'd try to force Rex's team to end him. - That moment where we see Niall, Eulogimenos, and Raqura are leading their people through the attack - it's...strangely powerful. - {also drying eyes as Pneuma stays behind} - What do you think? Was Pneuma transferring her whole Core Crystal to Rex a gambit? A way to ensure that her selves would be safe with him? And how much do Pyra and Mythra remember...? - If you ever do New Game+, you'll be able to gacha-pull three other Blades (Akhos, Patroka, and T-elos) and have a chance to recruit Mikhail at a certain point. Y'know, if...if you're interested. - {at new title screen} ...Ehehehe. There's actually a bit more to this if you wait long enough. _"We're...finally here."_
My first xenoblade game, I bought it on a whim and now it is the game I am most emotionally attached to. I also patiently wait for the Nia figure to come out because that's all I want right now
@@skyeifer The Nia is coming in June, the pre-order was last year so if you want her you're gonna have to hope for a re-release. There is going to be a Mio figure and figma coming soon and there is plentiful stock of Melias where ever there are figures. Regarding the other games I have played the entire numbered trilogy in the order 2,1 and 3, be prepared for Torna and 3 when you get there.
It was really great seeing your journey through this beautiful game, I can’t wait to see you play torna and xenoblade 3 :) PS go look at Alvis’ necklace from definitive edition if you havent yet 😉
@@skyeifer Yeah Alvis being Ontos, the core that disappeared, is confirmed from that! They actually added that to the definitive edition, the original game he just had a key necklace
I don't know if someone already commented this, and I don't know if it'll make you cry even more at this ending, but. Either Pyra or Mythra says here depending on what you choose to name Pneuma. Also, we don't know what they're saying here. The American and the Japanese animations for their mouths moving are different, so there is a meaning, but it could be one of two. They could be saying "I'm home." Implying a happy ending for them all. Or they could be saying "Hello, I'm Pyra/Mythra." Which would mean they lost their memories and are starting from zero like every other blade. I found this channel thru this video and am binging your entire library. Hoping to see more soon!
No lie, that ending, and that title screen afterwards - that put me into an early life crisis. Sat alone for 3 hours just staring at it in the dead of night. I was depressed at work for like, 2 weeks. My bosses had to ask me if something had happened to me lol This hit me, ruined me, in a way no other game had done or has done since. -- OH HEY I SEE A THUMBNAIL FOR THE XENO 3 JAIL SEQUENCE
I am happy I am not the only one I took a photo of myself with the game, I never did anything like that with any other thing, but that was special, and I tried to sleep but... I couldn't... The fear of Pyra and Mythra having lost their memories was haunting me, I was afraid to search online and find a spoiler for Torna or Xenoblade 3... After +- 1 hour I decided to right my experience with the game so I could get better
@@skyeifer yeah! A friend gave it to me, saying it was an amazing game, he showed me the scene with Vandham an Mythra and I was like, “it looks cool” I played and abandoned the game when I arrived at Uraya 🤣 Without knowing that was the place than marks a before and after!
Lmao when you said "We pay taxes though" , but for real Xenoblade 2 easily in my Top 3 favorite games of all time thanks for playing it! Enjoyed your reaction to this amazing game! Looking forward to your future Torna and Xenoblade 3 reactions!
@@skyeifer Sure, the other games besides Xenoblade 2 that I have in my top 3 are Kingdom Hearts 2 and Nioh 2. Funny how they all have 2 in the name lol.
@@reynn_6888 ohhhh interesting! i will be uploading my kingdom hearts marathon after i'm done with xenoblade 3! and i've been wanting to play nioh 2 as well! i rage quit playing nioh back then and i need to revisit that game again!
@@skyeifer You should give it another chance or just move on to Nioh 2 if you want since Nioh 2 kinda explains already the plot of Nioh 1. Nioh 2 improves upon Nioh 1 in every way possible, of course the game is hard, but very satisfying plus you can call on other players to help you out too. Also story is very emotional, and underrated imo. Got me to tear up a bit at the end lol. Btw I’ll catch one of your streams one day as well.
Also, I haven't finished this video so I don't know if you know any of this, but if you equip Pyra and Nia and reach max affinity with both, depending on whose level 4 special you do, you get a unique one, Union sword for Pyra, and Nexus Force for Nia
Fun fact: there are a couple alternate versions of that post-game title screen. One has Nia standing with the group, holding their hands as well(implying that she and Rex talked and that she's part of the relationship) and one where Nia pulls Rex out and takes his place holding Pyra and Mythra's hands, lol.
I don't know if someone already pointed it out to you, there are some good little things if you play New Game + and finish it. Don't know if you want to do it, so I don't want to spoil it, so SPOILER FOR NG+ In New Game + you can find as blades Patroka, Akhos, Sever, Obrona, Perdido, Cressidus (The blades of Torna), and after Mikhail "dies" you can find him on the bottom entrance of the World tree, he survived the fight and will join you as a blade. Not only that, there are also two different title screen once you beat the game, I suggest you to check them on YT
I was have a theory that the Elysium in the last scene is Bionis's remain because of the sky is the same as Xenoblade 1 ending title screen but The Future Connenect debunk me
Thanks for sharing this experience with us. I played the game multiple times and watched quite some playthroughs, but it always gets me in the end. I guess, this, the story and the characters make it my favourite game of all times (even after playing XC3). Another reason this game is so fantastic, is the music and the use of motifs. In this video th-cam.com/users/liveswk4RUQwFSA?feature=share&t=4952 someone just listens to the music and talks about music theory. He starts crying just from the music alone, without even knowing what happens in game, right at the point where you also really started crying, being the point Mòrag salutes Pneuma and leaves. For the imo best two title screens, you have to finish a new game+. You should do that anyway, if you find the time, because after beating Torna, a lot of things get a different touch and also, knowing what will happen, you can see the foreshadowing better. Fun fact: If you get Shulk, Fiora and Elma to Alrest, and have KOS-MOS, there is a mission to get an affinity node for KOS-Mos where you have the protagonists from Xenosaga, Xenoblade 1 and Xenoblade 2 alltogether. Only Eli and Fei from Xenosaga are missing, I guess because of Square's copyright.
thank you for reliving this experience with me as well! and i will check that video out, thank you! oh i did see the new game+ title screen! it's so heartwarming and wholesomeee i can't 😭😭😭 and by the way, who's elma and kos-mos? do i want to know? lol.
@@skyeiferThat title screen was another hint at XC3 I guess.. You clearly want to know about these two. They're both one of the most beloved characters from earlier games. Elma is one of the protagonists in XCX. In XC2, you can also get her in the Land of Challenge by completing the Otherwordly Fighter mission. You can then use her as a Blade and get another banger battle theme (imo one of the best in the whole series). KOS-MOs is one of the protagonists from Xenosaga. In XC2, she's the infamous RNG Blade with the 0.1% base chance. So there can be some grinding involved to get her, and some on the more unlucky side, never got her at all.
Logos, Ontos and Pneuma are all greek. Logos - speech and reason Ontos - being and essence Pneuma - breath and spirit Some say they represent the holy trinity in Christology. Pneuma even has a bible verse written on her chest.
They all have a bible verse on the Trinity Processor: Pneuma: Proverbs 4:18; The path of the righteous is like the morning sun, shining ever brighter till the full light of day. Logos: Proverbs 10:12; Hatred stirrs up conflict, but love covers over all wrongs. Ontos: Proverbs 3:13; Blessed are those who find wisdom, those who gain understanding.
@@skyeifer a lot of people talked about this at the time because it were such unique names and Takahashi always liked bringing stuff about the Bible into his game. Now everyone can look it up in the Xenoblade wiki :) There is also a text for the siren figure in Japan that has some lore that is never talked about in the game
At the final scene where you questioned what did Pyra say, its actually "hajimemashite", or "Nice meeting you, for the 1st time" if u read her lips and know for a fact that the lip syncs are only done for japanese dialogue for this game.
Well now that you officially uploaded the ending I have one thing I been dying to say. You should really check out Alvis's design in definitive edition they changed his necklace from a random key to a red core crystal which implies he is ontos which people theorized after 2 came out and monolith subtlety confirmed with that change albeit there were a lot of "ontos deniers" despite it being so obvious the only thing ontos deniers. 2's dlc not being canon sucked but theres a line rex or mythra says to shulk about his sword because they know it belongs to ontos. Ah going off other comments your twitch chat already told you lmao
See, I told you 😂 You know, I guess you will be a bit more sad if you were able to hear what Pyra said in the ending. If I understand, it has a subtitle on that part but they somehow hidden them as a last minute change. She basically introduces herself. Which means, like any other blade, she forgot her past life.
@@skyeifer got me emotional too when I played the game myself a few years ago, and the ending song really hits. "The last day with you is truly magical" I'll be looking forward to your Torna adventure. Surely you will enjoy the modified battle system and the cool battle theme 😉 better buy additional tissues for later 😂
@@deathbyautoyt171 i still listen to the ending song til this day and still brings tears to my eyes lol. this game is really something else. and not just this song, XC1 songs also hit hard for me. and yes, torna will be uploaded next week! ☺️
I think it was at some point planed that they would forget everything but the way they interacted with Poppi i doubt they forgot everything. i always thought she said "tadaima" or something like that because it would match the lip sinc.
@@zillo1600 Yes, this planned in the beginning and the subs are still in the game but unused. This is one of the only parts that actually got a lip sync in the English dub, but the Japanese version matches with "tadaima". Also, Pyra and Mythra are not normal Blades who gather information, but a part of the Trinity Processor, designed to process the data. So it doesn't make sense why their memory would get erased.
The title theme does have some lyrics that the VA of Ursala sings in parts during her quest but her is a link of the segment of Chuggaaconroy's lp of xenoblade 2 as its own video th-cam.com/video/3bNiE71PZZ8/w-d-xo.html
It's not Ursula's VA, Phillipa Alexander, in the video you linked, but singer Adriana Figueroa and it's not actually in the game but added to Chuggaconroy's video, so it's fan content I guess. In the game you can only hear the Torigonda playing, even though everybody praises Ursula's voice. So I'd guess those aren't the official lyrics either, but written by Adriana.
@@HarveyHirdHarmonics I said that chugga stitched all of ursula's singing parts as they are spread out throught the quests cutscenes but the lyrics are unofficial I would recommend watching the episode that covers the entire quest that chuggaaconroy made
@@skyeifer that's tough to rank. Gameplay wise, 3 then 2 then 1. Story and characters 2, 1, 3. And music 3, 1, then 2. They are all so good in so many ways
@@skyeifer I suggest you to play torna now, it’s very great and add so much to some characters! Then if you want you can play ng+, I discovered many new things and it helps to fully understand everything you may have missed, especially after the dlc!
@@skyeifer Yeah fair enough! It's getting everyone hyped for the DLC content. Have been loving your playthroughs. These are such character driven stories and it's great to see someone really fall for them all.
@@nhodgie aaa thank you so much for experiencing this journey with me! yeah gotta love some character driven stories.. i still think about them up til this day 😭
@@skyeifer that last guy in the trailer is speculated to be N and M's child or grandchild which would basically make rex his great grandfather or just grandfather, Rex's family tree has 2 protagonists in it if we're right about mio being his daughter
i wouldn't say they're wrong though. people have different experiences with every single game, and if we find it way less emotional it doesn't make their opinions less valid :)

![my xenoblade chronicles 2 torna experience [part 1]](/img/tr.png)
our journey to elysium has ended 😭😭😭 thank you for reliving this magnificent journey with me! your continuous support has really motivated me to do my best at providing videos for you all! apologies if my videos aren't as entertaining as you wanted it to be as i'm very new at editing and condensing long stream vods. i promise that i will continue to learn to be better!
once again, thank you so much everyone for your support and i hope that i did this game justice! and see you guys next week, with xenoblade chronicles 2: torna - the golden country ❤️
@Nhat Anh Hoang yeah! i had a discussion with chat about ontos but i lost the footage 😭
Let the emotional Rollercoaster continue for as long as possible ❤️
This game series is going to make you cry and that's ok we all cried that to it
Don't apologize you are doing great it is always good to see more dive into the xeno sadness
glad you enjoy this masterpiece, xc1 elitists dont like people who enjoy xc2 but you are a genuine and lovely person. Glad you felt the same way like us when playing XC2 for the first time!
Man I love that rex is talking to his god and just brings up the salvager code
Even klaus smiled, klaus salvager's code believer confirmed?
that part was actually kinda sad.. especially with the music in the background 😭
@@skyeifer rex met his creator and made him happy for the first time in who knows how long while shulk over in the other side doing the literal opposite and making zanza shit himself while screaming his lungs out💀
Fun fact: You can interact with various objects in Elysium and each party member has a unique dialogue for each if you set them as leader.
Apparently Zeke can play piano and has composed his own Symphonies.
WOW i didn't know that! thank you for sharing! i'll find the footage on youtube if there's any!
@@skyeifer Chuggaconroy (did I spell that right?) is likely the best place to look for little tidbits like this. He did a Live Play of the game a while back where he literally covered everything. And I mean everything.
Even outside of the trivia, its still a great series. He even did one for XBC1 and there is likely to be one for 3 in the future, likely some time after the DLC story is released.
@@lannobile7260 oh yeah i've heard of that channel name before! i heard everyone has been binge watching their xenoblade videos!
@@skyeifer he is responsible for really showing the franchise to more people in North America. I got into the series and watched his playthrough as it released, so around 2015
Considering how Alvis had a necklace shaped like a core crystal, and the fact that he said he was a computer, it's implied that Alvis is Ontos, the part of the Trinity Processor that went missing to another dimension. Our beloved Alvis was an Aegis all along!
yeahhh oh my goshhh i was sooo mindblown! i had to google alvis and search for any thread online discussing about him just to make sure!
@@skyeifer One additional thing about that, that you couldn't know, Alvis' core crystal was the only major design change in Definitive Edition. In the original he had a key around his neck instead.
@@tirex3673 i didn't know that! thank you for telling me! 😊
Poppi made me cry so many times, lol. The promise absolutely killed me. I couldn't stop sobbing 😆
POPPI IS THE BEST 🧡🧡🧡
Malos is the best Xenoblade vilain. His motives, connections to the origin of the world and to the other torna members is incredibly well written imo.And yes what a performance from his voice actor especially in this chapter.
the torna members definitely had a great VA!!
I think Jin is a bit better of a character as a whole, (Malos is close behind) but although Jin's English VA is great, Malos' English VA is seriously on another level. Who would've expected a thomas the train VA to be this good?
@@lemmyxpro hold on???!!! malos's VA is a thomas the train???!!!
Malos is such a good villain. Even if he would never admit it he cared a lot about his found family and i agree his english VA is amazing.
his VA is definitely awesome! i've noticed his great voice work from the very first chapter! his screaming voice gave me chills!
His voice raise the age restriction of this game
Fun fact if it wasn't obvious with DE Alvis is the Ontos part of the trinity processor
yeahh i had some discussion with people in the chat about ontos after the stream but i lost the footage 😭 but holy hell it shocked the heck out of me!!!!! 😱😱😱🤯🤯🤯
@@skyeifer XC3 wave 4 brings more questions too
The lack of voice direction really shows with the gramp va doing the baby gramps voice for the nightmare adult gramps scene but maybe they just didnt care about telling the VA to fix it or just didnt have the time still
I’ve been waiting for this! Aaaaaah! I did a marathon of your playthrough since yesterday and I’m so glad to have relived this experience with this channel. Now, on to Torna we go, on to the past, and on to more broken hearts and broken tearducts!
hi there!! aaaaa thank you so much for watching all of my videos! i hope you enjoyed them! and yes, next will be torna and xenoblade 3! stay tuned! 😊
Apparently, they had lines recorded for the post-credits scene, first off, whether you got Pyra or Mythra saying them depended on who you picked for Pneuma's name; then there's the lines themselves, two lines were recorded for each girl, one in which they say "I'm home", implying they kept their memories, in the other they say "I am [Name]", meaning they lost their memories like all other blades.
Utlimately they decided to not use any and just leave it ambiguous.
i could totally picture pyra and mythra lost their memories since rex looked a bit sad for a split second there 🥲
I believe they do have their memories, after all even Alvis kinda have his/her memories in xb3 even after he "died" same with Malos after his body was destroyed in Torna. If Pyra/Mythra said "I am [name]" in that moment I believe Poppi will have a shocked face for a moment since she's close with them that time. But she doesn't change her expression and just look at Rex happily.
That ID tag that you get after the boss where Jin leaves the party looks very similarly to the one that Galea wore in the first cutscene of this chapter
thank you for answering all of my unanswered questions 😂🙇
@@skyeifer it is theorized that the killing of that monster is part of the reason that Mayneth dies as they are linked just like klause and zanza also the name Zanza Klause sounds like Santa Clause that last part have basically no meaning but is fun to point out
it is her
And thus, Skye met Xenoblade Chronicles 2.
It seems we're at the end of this long (and emotional) journey. Xenoblade 2 is one of my favourite games of all time. The story, characters, gameplay, presentation are something to behold.
It's amazing how this game both acts as a stand-alone entry and a follow-up to the original Xenoblade Chronicles. That entire beginning sequence perfectly illustrates this. It's a sequence that gets explained as an in-universe thing with how life "began" after it ended in the Xenoblade 2 world. But if you played Xenoblade 1, it suddenly adds so much depth to Klaus/Zanza as a character. In Xenoblade 1, we knew he destroyed the universe before, but never knew why. But now we know.
It wasn't the simple curiosity of a single man that destroyed the universe, but desperation. A desperate attempt to survive in a world that's slowly dying (parallels :] ).
I wouldn't say that Xenoblade 2 is completely without flaws, but those flaws/shortcomings I can easily look past since everything else is either done so exceptionally well, or because it really appeals to me as a person.
hi there! yeah i felt like i just had a really really long dream after beating this game.. and you're right about that, i'm so glad that i played xenoblade 1 before i played this. it's just so mindblowing!
the flaws in this game are not that major in my opinion, and again, i personally don't think there's a perfect game. this game is the perfect definition of the perfect imperfection ❤️
He certainly wasn't _not_ curious about what would come of recreating the universe like that, but it was definitely desperation that drove him to see it through. Alvis was awfully biased with his summarizing.
Something funny is that Fiora is one of the most broken blades in the game due to her skill of increasing damage by the number of crits get gets and she has an art that can do 6 hits very quickly and recharges pretty fast too
i just discovered your channel a couple of weeks ago and boy did I enjoy your whole playthrough. You probably have one of the best Xenoblade playthroughs on TH-cam and your reactions were genuine & pure gold. I also love the fact that not only you cared for the story, but you also cared so much for the characters, the music and every single detail in this game. I'm looking forward to watching your playthrough of Torna, Xenoblade 3 and other games on your channel. Congratulations on beating the game by the way, this game is truly a masterpiece
hi there! omg thank you so much for the kind words! i really appreciate you and i'm so glad that you enjoyed the whole playthrough. this really made my day! 😭
Xc2 title screen music is just so memorable and soothing
it is! and very sad as well 😭😭😭
I agree with what you said: Xenoblade is more special because of the second one, and Xenoblade 2 is more special because of the original. It is as Alvis told us by the end of the first Xenoblade, “hand in hand”.
omg i didn't think of alvis' words! you're totally right! 😱😱😱
Well good to see I wasn’t the only one to cry shitless because of this game, thanks for playing it I enjoyed every second of your playthrough
hi! and i'm also glad to know that there's tons of people cried because of this game lol! nooo, thank you for reliving this masterpiece with me 🥹
@@skyeifer your welcome lol this was quite the experience which I was waiting for a while
And I can’t wait for your torna/Xenoblade 3 reactions cuz if you thought this was said you ain’t seen nothing yet
@@Noah-k6x2w lol we all will never be ready for tetsuya takahashi 😢
Checked the comments and I don't believe anyone's mentioned this yet, but you actually get 2 new titles screens if you beat the game on New Game Plus (2 variations of the normal one after beating the game)
The first one has Nia come and shove Rex from behind, taking his place in holding hands with Pyra and Mythra while Rex looks back and embarrassingly scratches the back of his head
The second has Rex, Pyra, and Mythra turn around and invite Nia to join them. Having all 4 of them holding hands
hi there! oh yes i've seen them after i finished the game! i really love the first one though when nia shove rex from behind, that's really nia 😂😂😂
This game is really special, it looks bright on the outside but inside it addresses a lot of serious topics like existential crisis, suicidal tendency, the connection between human and nature or how good and evil is not always black and white.
this exactly! ❤️
Morag and Zeke do not introduce themselves to Shulk and Fiora because the earliest point in the story when you could have entered the portal was before they joined your party. So the devs took a short cut by just removing them from dialogue.
Also the title screen theme always hits the hardest after your first completion of the game, I think, because the song is about the Aegises.
oh i didn't know that! the song is about the aegises???? oh noooo 😭😭😭😭💔💔💔💔
Yaaaay ! Honestly that first cutscene with Klaus still blows my mind to this day! And that ending 😭 it was awesome to follow you discover this game. Can’t wait for Torna now !
yesss it's crazy!! i was so mindblown as well, the payoff in this game was just phenomenal!
I can't watch the ending without crying everytime. It's perfect, I love the characters so much and I miss them.
Oh, You're not ready for Torna and XB 3.😆
Great playthrough! COngratulations!
i will never be ready for monolithsoft games 😭😭😭 and thank you so much! i hope you've been enjoying the whole playthrough!
You know this is like my third time watching this, I gotta give you credit out of all the folks I've watched play this game you followed the story and understood character motivations the best.
thank you so muchhh! that means a lot hehehe.
Fun fact the last normal enemies have unique battle music that is nowhere else in the game and few people hear it as they think they don't need the exp or just don't want to fight non boss monsters
oh yeah i noticed that! i think i mentioned it in the video if i remember correctly 😜
@@skyeifer another fact that I learned recently was that the stance that pneuma takes is based off if you chose to call her pyra or mythra
Ahhh I cried at this ending many many times. Monolithsoft always nails the ending.
monolithsoft needs to pay for my therapy 😭
Fun fact you can just leave and explore the world solo when everyone leaves rex
now i didn't know this 😂😂😂
Here I am, bawling my eyes out... AGAIN
lol just wait for torna for another tearfest!
So in case anything went over your head, essentially, during the cutscene at the beginning, you are seeing Klaus creating the universe that Xenoblade 1 takes place in, however their world is destroyed while this is happening. Half of Klaus, his god complex half, moves to 1's world and becomes Zanza, and Galea become Meyneth. The other half of Klaus is stricken with guilt and left in the world that his actions destroyed, becoming the architect. The architect created core crystals and the cloud sea and sends them down onto his world, which becomes Alrest, the core crystals feed information back to the Trinity Processor, which is made up of Pneuma (mythra and pyra), Logos (malos), and Ontos. He also seeds life into Alrest and allows it to evolve however it does, presumably disguising the low orbit station "beanstalk" as the world Tree. Ontos at some point fucks off 1's world and becomes Alvis, giving Zanza and Meyneth their godly abilities and allowing them to create Mechonis and Bionis.
Also the other thing I hinted at in old comment is that big enemy you fight in the tornan womb is actually galea (meyneth) going off the ID card that rex picks up after they defeat it. Its depressing that klaus's love becomes a monster in the world hes a depressed good guy in and a god in the world where klaus(or zanza)eventually wasn't a good guy. Regardless both klaus experience extreme loneliness but zanza took a different path due to it. I think if you want look at the fog king's existence in future connected perhaps it's due to meyneth dying and the world's both wanted galea's soul although that implies galea is basically getting the fiora treatment and having to be a passenger in her own "mindless body" so perhaps galea's soul went to 1's world while her body stayed in 2's and became a disfigured mess of a creature and machinery who knows
WAIT???!!! NO WAY???!!! THAT MONSTER WAS GALEA???!!! I THOUGHT SOMEONE SAID IT WAS THE FOG KING FROM FUTURE CONNECTED??? 😭😭😭😭😭
@@skyeifer it's both but it could always be that the fog king was a reused model but lots of people have theorized about it
Love seeing reactions to Xenoblade games, especially Xenoblade 2 and its ending.
There is something truly special about this series.
this game is truly special! ✨
im so glad you managed to finish this game! out of the xenoblade trilogy i genuinley love all of the games so much, and xenoblade 3 might be my favorite out of the lot. but my god, i have such a soft spot for 2 for being the first xenoblade game i ever played. there's just something magical about this game experiencing this series for the first time, and i def cried a lot while playing
looking forward to your torna series as well as xenoblade 3 if you get around to it! i will confirm that 3 made me cry the most out of 1 and 2 combined, so i can't wait to see you experience it all!
xenoblade 2 is such a great game! and yes it's sooo magical, just like the ending song said... it's truly magical 😭 and i also can't wait to share my torna and xenoblade 3 experience with you!
There's a few creators whose playthroughs of this game I rewatch often to experience this game again. Yours will join that group. Thank you for sharing, really glad you enjoyed it as much as you did.
oh thank you so much!! your kind words really made my day! and thank you for reexperiencing the journey with me!
So much fun following your journey with this game! Thank you so much for sharing!
It’s incredible how this games story somehow keeps getting better every time I watch through it
noooo, thank you for reliving this game with me! the foreshadowing in the game is just incredible!
"I'm not sure I'm going to play Torna" PLAY IT!!!! Seriously, PLAY IT!! OMG REALLY REALLY PLAY IT! Do not pass by the masterpiece that is Torna The Golden Country!
lol i will! torna will be uploaded next week! so stay tuned! ☺️☺️☺️
Ontos deniers are in shambles after that xc3 dlc teaser but yeah if it wasn't clear before alvis is ontos and most people thought that alvis got transported into the xc1 universe before or with zanza but actually he goes to the xc1 verse after architect klaus begins planning his reconstruction of the world so basically the timeline goes like this, klaus activates the conduit aka zohar, he rips the universe apart and sends half of himself and others into other universes, architect klaus plans to rebuild the world so he readies the trinity processor, alvis initiates the space time transition event and then goes to do his business in xc1
that's what i thought too! but... who's zohar...? do i want to know...? 😂😂😂
if it's a spoiler for another game please don't tell me! 😂
@@skyeifer zohar is basically the real name for the conduit and if you play the older xeno games you will find out more about it
@@potatofarmergyro1720 oh i will be playing xenogears this year! looking forward to it!
if you dont cry playing this game you are dead inside
Gramps : It must be nice to be human.
skyeifer : We have to pay taxes
Every human on earth : Nooooooooooooo Taxes PTSD Nooooooooooo
🤣🤣🤣
I'm glad you came to the same conclusion as me! This is also my favorite game of all time, and I can't wait to see your reactions to Torna and Xenoblade 3, especially if those VODs are available anywhere. Looking forward to the future of your channel!
hi there! thank you so much for supporting this channel 🥹 and i'm sorry that the vods aren't available anywhere, twitch has been muting a lot of vods recently 😭 but stay tuned for torna, xc3 and much more jrpgs on the channel! ☺️
It's kinda ironic that the other half of klause is that part of him that contained his heart and stomach in addition to the left half of his brain
okay i didn't think of this! wow!
@@skyeifer yeah architect klaus is basically supposed to be the logical and calculated side while zanza is the impulsive emotional side but both are false gods...it's actually kinda rare seeing the logical side being the better one
Glad the recommendations came through, been loving all of your Xenoblade videos! It's always been a pleasure watching people play these games for the first time, and it warms my heart that you've enjoyed your experience with XC2! The game does unfortunately get overlooked due to the anime art style, but everything from the story, characters, music, and world are just amazing. Really excited to see your videos for Torna, it's such an amazing experience especially knowing what happens in the base game (it's what made Mythra my favorite character of all time!) Keep up the great work, you're a joy to watch!
hello there! ahhh thank you so much for your kind words! i'm so glad that all of you xc2 community have been enjoying the playthrough! and yes, please look forward for torna! it will be uploaded next week! have an amazing day! 😊
1:03:38 It's Shulk!
damn time for torna and xenoblade 3, was a lot of fun watching your playthrough !
yayyy thank you so much! i'm glad you enjoyed the playthrough! and yes prepare for torna and xenoblade 3 😭
Congratulations on finishing the game! This is always such a journey. Fun thing about this - after finishing XC1 and 2 for the first time, I was convinced that the first game had a better story. But after watching other playthroughs and replaying both games, I completely changed my mind. While the first game's twists and foreshadowing are very impressive, the story itself and character arcs aren't nearly as good. These cutscenes still make me cry every time.
hi! thank you so much!! the first game's twists were really great and mindblowing, and yes i have to agree that the character arcs in this game are justttt amazing! 😭
Final boss them: -Over- After Despair and Hope
Ending theme: One last you
👏👏👏😭
Masterful.
The bridge scene, how many times I have cried through it.........and it never fails me.
As you say, you feel bad for all the "bad guys". Thats beautiful. All of the enemies, to different degrees, at some point you simply emphatise with... (Amalthus being the lowest but even HIM got his "human" scene saving zeke coz pandy and him reminded him of he and his mother)...
Such a beautiful game...... One question remains though. One not even the Arcithect himself could answer.....
What's the 5th rule of the salvager's Code!!!!
aaaaaaa yeah that's so trueee! as much as we don't agree and hate amalthus' actions, he was once a victim of human's cruelty 😭😭😭 omg i didn't even realize that we never got the 5th rule!!! 😂😂😂
@@skyeifer One question though just in case. Are you aware what Morytha and the Architect's world actually was?
@@Zaleos noooo..... what was it???
@@skyeifer In that case, do yourself a favor. Whenever you can go play the game, skip travel to Radamanthus Portal (Space area just before Elysium ruins), go up the stairs but instead of heading to Elysium check the boards on the walls, the ones that say "A1"....read carefully :)
@@Zaleos you're making me nervouuus!!! 😂😂😂 i will definitely check as soon as i can! thank you for the info!
Hahaha, the moments when every Xenoblade player loses their minds
LOL what was your first reaction to the last chapter??
@@skyeifer I almost screamed. Then I jumped up and was like "NO! It can't be!" Then I spoke the parts together with Klaus. And at the end I only cried.
Thank you for this awesome journey Skye. It's been so much fun watching you experience my favorite game of all time for the first time! I always look forward to the next video. I can't wait to see you play Torna and Xenoblade 3.
hi there! thank you so much for reexperiencing this journey with me! i hope that i did this game justice and i hope i was able to entertain you ☺️ stay tuned for torna and xc3!
Thank you for giving this game a chance and see your reactions, i cry every time with this game man its just amazing :'), next is torna and XC3, i bet you love those games too

Fun fact poppi's forms in the jp version are references to different states of life going from elementary, high school the qtpi is college and if you ever wanted to know what they are poppi's name is Hana in japan
hana??? that's so different from her english name!
@@skyeifer mythra is Hikari (translates to light)[a possible reason for the change if the fact that Hikari is a very common name for girls]
Pyra is homura(idk if I spelled that right)
And tora translates to tiger explaining his fur pattern and the mini game tiger tiger
Also Hana is a type of flower I believe and is the one on her in her alpha form
@@skyeifer well Hana is the japanese word for flower and poppi is a flower so it kind of works.

Xenoblade 2 is my all-time favorite as well. It’s flawed, but that’s ok. If I ever forget or feel like something else is taking over that top spot, all I have to do is see the last few hours alone or think about all of the people in the world of Alrest to remember.
it's the most perfect flawed game! ❤️❤️❤️
Finally the end of this journey , i really love this game, its my favorite xeno even with all the flaws, i don't know why but there's something special about this game. Thankyou for sharing your experence , these videos really helped me going trhu a difficult time, you're awesome.
Can't wait for torna , hope i'll be able to catch the streams someday.
(Im Sorry if i made mistakes but english is hard lol)
hi there! this game is a pure definition of imperfect percection! thank you so much for the kind words and i'm glad that i'm able to help you going through tough times, and i hope you're doing better now.. and don't worry, english isn't my first language either! and your english is fine! we shall throw grammar out of the window! ☺️☺️☺️
_"Let's begin the experiment!"_
- ...I'll just say it now. The Conduit's shape, and the Aegis' Core Crystal shape, is exactly the same as a very similar object from Xenosaga - the Zohar.
- There are actually two different Pyra/Nia Lv4 Blade Specials. The one used depends on which one is currently active.
- All the Drivers have different confused descriptions of the swingset. It's kinda sad to witness...
- To be clear, what Rex encounters in the dim mindscape are born from Rex's own woes. He was more worried about how everyone else felt over his own well-being...
- To summarize: Klaus's experiment with the Conduit fundamentally broke Earth, one half being isolated in its own pocket dimension as the world of Bionis and Mechonis. These halves would eventually be repaired into their own full worlds, by the efforts of Klaus and Alvis.
- Every Core Crystal is like an ether-based supercomputer. Much like Alvis...And of course, the brain cell replacement purpose explains how they could be transplanted into people like Rex and Zeke to heal them.
- The Cloud Sea's ability to remake matter into familiar objects is how salvagers always have things to fish out of it.
- Xenoblade Chronicles 2: Cure God's Depression
- As Tora states, Poppi's modes represent different ages - Alpha is a little girl, QT is a teen maid, and QT Pi is a young adult. Interestingly, each new mode looks much closer to a human than the last.
(Oh, and all three modes have the same voice actress, hehe.)
- There's actually one more guest "Blade" from the Land of Challenge - Elma!
(Oh, since you can access the Land of Challenge as early as the start of Chapter 4, the cutscene only has Rex, Pyra, Nia, Dromarch, Tora, and Poppi talking.)
(I guess since you have the Expansion Pass, you can get another artificial Blade that the other Drivers can use.)
- The final battle truly has some "Suicide By Cop" vibes to it, doesn't it...? Malos's only friends are all gone now, his Father is about to vanish, and Amalthus's despair is still lingering. It's no wonder he'd try to force Rex's team to end him.
- That moment where we see Niall, Eulogimenos, and Raqura are leading their people through the attack - it's...strangely powerful.
- {also drying eyes as Pneuma stays behind}
- What do you think? Was Pneuma transferring her whole Core Crystal to Rex a gambit? A way to ensure that her selves would be safe with him? And how much do Pyra and Mythra remember...?
- If you ever do New Game+, you'll be able to gacha-pull three other Blades (Akhos, Patroka, and T-elos) and have a chance to recruit Mikhail at a certain point. Y'know, if...if you're interested.
- {at new title screen} ...Ehehehe. There's actually a bit more to this if you wait long enough.
_"We're...finally here."_
what a wonderful react. you pick up on so much. xenoblade is so special. can't wait to see you play 3.

PS go look at Alvis’ necklace from definitive edition if you havent yet 😉
thank you so much for supporting the entire journey! and yes i did! did the game confirm that he's an aegis???
@@skyeifer Yeah Alvis being Ontos, the core that disappeared, is confirmed from that! They actually added that to the definitive edition, the original game he just had a key necklace
We should all write a letter to Monolith Soft to reimburse our mental health therapy after beating each of xenoblade games
that's an excellent idea.. and i have a bad feeling about dlc wave 4...
Yeah I'm excited for wave 4 too
I don't know if someone already commented this, and I don't know if it'll make you cry even more at this ending, but.
Either Pyra or Mythra says here depending on what you choose to name Pneuma.
Also, we don't know what they're saying here. The American and the Japanese animations for their mouths moving are different, so there is a meaning, but it could be one of two.
They could be saying "I'm home." Implying a happy ending for them all.
Or they could be saying "Hello, I'm Pyra/Mythra." Which would mean they lost their memories and are starting from zero like every other blade.
I found this channel thru this video and am binging your entire library. Hoping to see more soon!
oh yeah someone told me about this! i actually suspect that they said "hello, i'm pyra/mythra" because rex looked a bit sad for a split second there 🥺
No lie, that ending, and that title screen afterwards - that put me into an early life crisis. Sat alone for 3 hours just staring at it in the dead of night. I was depressed at work for like, 2 weeks. My bosses had to ask me if something had happened to me lol
This hit me, ruined me, in a way no other game had done or has done since.

The fear of Pyra and Mythra having lost their memories was haunting me, I was afraid to search online and find a spoiler for Torna or Xenoblade 3... After +- 1 hour I decided to right my experience with the game so I could get better
I was “forced” to play this game! But… I have to say: Thank you Monolith Soft ❤️
ohhh you were forced??? lmao! but wasn't it the best thing that you ever experienced ❤️
@@skyeifer yeah! A friend gave it to me, saying it was an amazing game, he showed me the scene with Vandham an Mythra and I was like, “it looks cool”
I played and abandoned the game when I arrived at Uraya 🤣 Without knowing that was the place than marks a before and after!
Lmao when you said "We pay taxes though" , but for real Xenoblade 2 easily in my Top 3 favorite games of all time thanks for playing it! Enjoyed your reaction to this amazing game! Looking forward to your future Torna and Xenoblade 3 reactions!
hi there! thank you so much! and yes, stay tuned for torna and xenoblade 3! and i'd love to know the rest of your favorite games of all time! 😊
@@skyeifer Sure, the other games besides Xenoblade 2 that I have in my top 3 are Kingdom Hearts 2 and Nioh 2. Funny how they all have 2 in the name lol.
@@reynn_6888 ohhhh interesting! i will be uploading my kingdom hearts marathon after i'm done with xenoblade 3! and i've been wanting to play nioh 2 as well! i rage quit playing nioh back then and i need to revisit that game again!
@@skyeifer You should give it another chance or just move on to Nioh 2 if you want since Nioh 2 kinda explains already the plot of Nioh 1. Nioh 2 improves upon Nioh 1 in every way possible, of course the game is hard, but very satisfying plus you can call on other players to help you out too. Also story is very emotional, and underrated imo. Got me to tear up a bit at the end lol. Btw I’ll catch one of your streams one day as well.
i will sure revisit nioh at some point! and thank you, i hope i'll see you on my stream as well! 🥳
Also, I haven't finished this video so I don't know if you know any of this, but if you equip Pyra and Nia and reach max affinity with both, depending on whose level 4 special you do, you get a unique one, Union sword for Pyra, and Nexus Force for Nia
Fun fact: there are a couple alternate versions of that post-game title screen. One has Nia standing with the group, holding their hands as well(implying that she and Rex talked and that she's part of the relationship) and one where Nia pulls Rex out and takes his place holding Pyra and Mythra's hands, lol.
oh yeah i've seen those! i love the second one so much! that's so nia 😂
I'm glad you are enjoying the games. Hope you enjoy torna and 3
thank you so much for watching the video! i definitely enjoyed torna, 3 and the painnnn!
haha yeah you will be a mess at the ending of Xenoblade 3, it's the only time in the whole trilogy I cried
I don't know if someone already pointed it out to you, there are some good little things if you play New Game + and finish it. Don't know if you want to do it, so I don't want to spoil it, so
SPOILER FOR NG+
In New Game + you can find as blades Patroka, Akhos, Sever, Obrona, Perdido, Cressidus (The blades of Torna), and after Mikhail "dies" you can find him on the bottom entrance of the World tree, he survived the fight and will join you as a blade.
Not only that, there are also two different title screen once you beat the game, I suggest you to check them on YT
oh yeah i found out about it! and yes i've seen the new title screen as well! it's so adorable!
I was have a theory that the Elysium in the last scene is Bionis's remain because of the sky is the same as Xenoblade 1 ending title screen but The Future Connenect debunk me
i never thought of that! but i once suspected that xenoblade 2 shared the same universe as xenoblade 1 because of both of them have nopons 😂
@@skyeifer the Nopons are mysterious being they are in Xenoblade X too
Are you planning in playing the third game? It's my personal favorite and I think you'd love it
i'll upload xc3 after torna! stay tuned! 😊
Thanks for sharing this experience with us. I played the game multiple times and watched quite some playthroughs, but it always gets me in the end. I guess, this, the story and the characters make it my favourite game of all times (even after playing XC3).
Another reason this game is so fantastic, is the music and the use of motifs. In this video th-cam.com/users/liveswk4RUQwFSA?feature=share&t=4952 someone just listens to the music and talks about music theory. He starts crying just from the music alone, without even knowing what happens in game, right at the point where you also really started crying, being the point Mòrag salutes Pneuma and leaves.
For the imo best two title screens, you have to finish a new game+. You should do that anyway, if you find the time, because after beating Torna, a lot of things get a different touch and also, knowing what will happen, you can see the foreshadowing better.
Fun fact: If you get Shulk, Fiora and Elma to Alrest, and have KOS-MOS, there is a mission to get an affinity node for KOS-Mos where you have the protagonists from Xenosaga, Xenoblade 1 and Xenoblade 2 alltogether. Only Eli and Fei from Xenosaga are missing, I guess because of Square's copyright.
thank you for reliving this experience with me as well! and i will check that video out, thank you!
oh i did see the new game+ title screen! it's so heartwarming and wholesomeee i can't 😭😭😭 and by the way, who's elma and kos-mos? do i want to know? lol.
@@skyeiferThat title screen was another hint at XC3 I guess..
You clearly want to know about these two. They're both one of the most beloved characters from earlier games.
Elma is one of the protagonists in XCX. In XC2, you can also get her in the Land of Challenge by completing the Otherwordly Fighter mission. You can then use her as a Blade and get another banger battle theme (imo one of the best in the whole series).
KOS-MOs is one of the protagonists from Xenosaga. In XC2, she's the infamous RNG Blade with the 0.1% base chance. So there can be some grinding involved to get her, and some on the more unlucky side, never got her at all.
@@dirkbechtold2320 oh yeah i think i met elma in uraya, if i'm not mistaken? was it the same elma?
@@skyeifer The silver haired woman in the red armour you have to fight in Uraya, yes, that's Elma.
I certainly look forward to your XC3 ending lol
lmao can't wait to share it with all of you!
Logos, Ontos and Pneuma are all greek.
Logos - speech and reason
Ontos - being and essence
Pneuma - breath and spirit
Some say they represent the holy trinity in Christology. Pneuma even has a bible verse written on her chest.
They all have a bible verse on the Trinity Processor:
Pneuma: Proverbs 4:18; The path of the righteous is like the morning sun, shining ever brighter till the full light of day.
Logos: Proverbs 10:12; Hatred stirrs up conflict, but love covers over all wrongs.
Ontos: Proverbs 3:13; Blessed are those who find wisdom, those who gain understanding.
@@dirkbechtold2320 oh i love the one for Logos T_T
@@zillo1600 Yes, it shows beautifully what his problem is and what could have been.
HOW DID YOU GUYS LEARN THIS INFORMATION???!!! 😂😂😂
@@skyeifer a lot of people talked about this at the time because it were such unique names and Takahashi always liked bringing stuff about the Bible into his game. Now everyone can look it up in the Xenoblade wiki :)
There is also a text for the siren figure in Japan that has some lore that is never talked about in the game
At the final scene where you questioned what did Pyra say, its actually "hajimemashite", or "Nice meeting you, for the 1st time" if u read her lips and know for a fact that the lip syncs are only done for japanese dialogue for this game.
ohhhh nooooo..... poor rex..... that's why he kinda looked sad for a second there 😭😭😭😭😭💔💔💔💔💔
Well now that you officially uploaded the ending I have one thing I been dying to say. You should really check out Alvis's design in definitive edition they changed his necklace from a random key to a red core crystal which implies he is ontos which people theorized after 2 came out and monolith subtlety confirmed with that change albeit there were a lot of "ontos deniers" despite it being so obvious the only thing ontos deniers. 2's dlc not being canon sucked but theres a line rex or mythra says to shulk about his sword because they know it belongs to ontos. Ah going off other comments your twitch chat already told you lmao
hahaha welp! but i didn't know that there's a rex or mythra's line talking about shulk's sword though! thank you for telling me! ☺️
"Who is Ontos?" Oh boy
lol i finally figured it out 😂
See, I told you 😂
You know, I guess you will be a bit more sad if you were able to hear what Pyra said in the ending. If I understand, it has a subtitle on that part but they somehow hidden them as a last minute change. She basically introduces herself. Which means, like any other blade, she forgot her past life.
omg yeahhhh i had a feeling that pyra forgot about everything because rex looked kinda sad for a second there! oh nooooo 😭😭😭😭😭
@@skyeifer got me emotional too when I played the game myself a few years ago, and the ending song really hits. "The last day with you is truly magical"
I'll be looking forward to your Torna adventure. Surely you will enjoy the modified battle system and the cool battle theme 😉 better buy additional tissues for later 😂
@@deathbyautoyt171 i still listen to the ending song til this day and still brings tears to my eyes lol. this game is really something else. and not just this song, XC1 songs also hit hard for me. and yes, torna will be uploaded next week! ☺️
I think it was at some point planed that they would forget everything but the way they interacted with Poppi i doubt they forgot everything. i always thought she said "tadaima" or something like that because it would match the lip sinc.
@@zillo1600 Yes, this planned in the beginning and the subs are still in the game but unused. This is one of the only parts that actually got a lip sync in the English dub, but the Japanese version matches with "tadaima". Also, Pyra and Mythra are not normal Blades who gather information, but a part of the Trinity Processor, designed to process the data. So it doesn't make sense why their memory would get erased.
Same here❤ it's so good dude
Emotional Damage
final chapter : and thus, the emotional damage 💔
Sees title
And then I played xenoblade 3
xenoblade 3 has been amazing as well! ❤️
The title theme does have some lyrics that the VA of Ursala sings in parts during her quest but her is a link of the segment of Chuggaaconroy's lp of xenoblade 2 as its own video
th-cam.com/video/3bNiE71PZZ8/w-d-xo.html
It's not Ursula's VA, Phillipa Alexander, in the video you linked, but singer Adriana Figueroa and it's not actually in the game but added to Chuggaconroy's video, so it's fan content I guess. In the game you can only hear the Torigonda playing, even though everybody praises Ursula's voice. So I'd guess those aren't the official lyrics either, but written by Adriana.
@@HarveyHirdHarmonics I said that chugga stitched all of ursula's singing parts as they are spread out throught the quests cutscenes but the lyrics are unofficial I would recommend watching the episode that covers the entire quest that chuggaaconroy made
Correction you are right my bad but it's still nice to listen to
So you've played every game (besides X). How would you rank them? All 3 and their dlc?
hey there! i gotta say 2 is my number one favorite! followed by 1 and 3 hehe what about you?
@@skyeifer that's tough to rank. Gameplay wise, 3 then 2 then 1. Story and characters 2, 1, 3. And music 3, 1, then 2.
They are all so good in so many ways
PoppiQTpi is actually stronger than the Aegis stat wise. 😂
oh yeah she is hahaha!
Mine too, mine too…
yay! high five!!!
@@skyeifer I suggest you to play torna now, it’s very great and add so much to some characters! Then if you want you can play ng+, I discovered many new things and it helps to fully understand everything you may have missed, especially after the dlc!
@@bianks3916 oh i have uploaded torna on the channel! 😊
@@skyeifer Yoo then I have some reactions to watch!
@@bianks3916 yay! i hope you'll enjoy it!
Pyra 🥰🥰🥰
malos is simultaneously the best and worst xenoblade villain, peak fiction
Have you seen the latest nintendo direct? Or are you trying to remain completely XC3 free?
hi there! yes i have! it didn't really tell anything though, at least for me haha! i saw shulk, rex, alvis and.... some guy? 😂
@@skyeifer Yeah fair enough! It's getting everyone hyped for the DLC content. Have been loving your playthroughs. These are such character driven stories and it's great to see someone really fall for them all.
@@nhodgie aaa thank you so much for experiencing this journey with me! yeah gotta love some character driven stories.. i still think about them up til this day 😭
@@skyeifer that last guy in the trailer is speculated to be N and M's child or grandchild which would basically make rex his great grandfather or just grandfather, Rex's family tree has 2 protagonists in it if we're right about mio being his daughter
1:34:47 definitly your friends was wrong, XC3 is way less emotional than XC2, I didn't cry once in XC3 but 2 many times
i wouldn't say they're wrong though. people have different experiences with every single game, and if we find it way less emotional it doesn't make their opinions less valid :)
are you gonna play XC3 ?
hello! yes, and the first chapter is already on the channel! 😁
@@skyeifer yeah, I saw it, you're going to suffer. that game is so so so emotional, I cried a lot more than the others xenoblades
3 was a disappointment
i loved 3! but i didn't love it as much as i loved 2 hehe.
Xenoblade 1 > Xenoblade 2 (not that it isnt awesome)
xenoblade 1 is great!
