    Vocalist: Sara Weeda [ANÚNA]
    Here I am, staring at my own palms
    I feel the warmth of your hand
    I thougt I’d be forever by your side, protecting you
    Assuming that’s what you wanted to
    I had no clue, that we had nothing between us
    Perhaps I was so scared to know the truth
    Now that you’re gone, and yet your love is still embracing me
    I’m at a loss, I need you with me
    It’s like I’m drowning, as if I’ve lost the way
    But you always appear as if you guide my way
    I thought I could do it all, I had my confidence
    But now I’m left alone with no one by my end
    I knew my faults, but I pretended I didn’t know
    I fear I’m not the kind of man you know
    I see you smile, pretending everything is alright
    But that made me feel more in misery
    I don’t know where to start, there is nothing left for me
    I know I’ve lost it all except the memories
    When I have my chin up high, I see a glimpse of light
    Like how we find the brightest star up in the sky
    I now have the courage to show you there is a way
    You told me silently I know what you will say
    And when I search for you, I see a guiding light
    It’s not so clear to me that you’re still far away
    A step away

    The words exchanged amongst the party, the way N and Shania kick you while youre down, the way the Ouroboros break down and eventually realize their efforts arent gonna get them out of this one, everyone including Manana losing their smiles, and the sheer length of this scene perfectly beats the sense of helplessness into you AND the party.

      ​@ventriloquistmagician4735 there was but after becoming mobius, the genuine love for her as a person evaporated. There was no longer anything between them. She wanted to love him but he was so broken he wasn't the same man; she couldn't follow the shell of a person he had become. He refused to call her by her actual name, also reducing her identity to a single letter like the other mobius. She wasn't allowed to die, through his actions he was telling her he forbade it. Now he was just being possessive and controlling. keeping her alive even against her will mattered more to him than anything else. Her free will and compliance to becoming mobius were completely ignored because he knew she'd never agree to that, even if it was alongside him.

    When I first watched this cutscene and heard this song, I could not stop my face from crying. I was like, “NO, they cannot kill off Mio! No please!” My heart shattered as days went by and they tried to escape but couldn’t. And when Noah injured his hands. Seriously, words can’t describe how I was feeling during this cutscene. Especially when Mio said, “My Noah”. I was like “Damn seriously, Monlithsoft, you successfully made me cry like a baby”. Sure I cried in the past with video games, but this cutscene really hit me hard. And it will every time I watch it. 😭💔

Video games for me, can have the highest emotional feeling of any media or art. And this part was such a masterful way of conveying the emotions of the main characthers..specially Noah and Mio..

      Reyn is Shulk's support system after Fiora dies, the story would be significantly different if he wasn't there.
      Honestly the fact that you think that he is not important makes me believe that you haven't paid attention to the story.
      I find it funny that you think Sharla is replaceable but then say that Tora is an essential character because he has muh sad backstory :'(.
      Shulk doesn't become friends with the mechon they're fucking machines, he becomes aware of the bigger picture and changes his motivation accordingly.
      Do you think characters shouldn't change and grow through their journey?
      Oh wait...you're an XC2 fan, you guys don't know what character developement is.

      I was convinced the game would have the balls to ACTUALLY kill Mio off, unlike the [still fantastically done] half-game fakeout of Fiora in the first game. And as someone who still feels the pain of losing Alys in Phantasy Star IV and Aerith in Final Fantasy VII, that shit had me TERRIFIED.
      Which makes it even more fantastic that Xenoblade 3 takes a lot of plot beats and ideas from FF7's story and turns them on their head, I was overjoyed when Mio revealed herself to be fine and then there was that insanely cool boss fight HNNGGG XENOBLADE 3 IS SO FUCKING GOOD

    I think that this isn’t so much a perspective of either, but of both.
    Noah for all of his short life experiencing it in the month up until the Homecoming, N for all his time in that split second.
    And it broke them both. Even if for Noah it was only for a minute, he indeed did feel that despair that N had intended.

    I just finished Chapter 5 and started Chapter 6, and this whole interaction of cutscenes is one of the many reasons as to why I refuse to show my friends Xenoblade cutscenes out of context. If you were to show someone who has heard of Xenoblade but not played it, and show them this whole interaction, it probably wouldn't hit as hard and it can be summed with one quote from the scenes: "It's just a metal gate". Throughout the whole story you are seeing how these characters who started as sworn enemies grew as companions. You saw them try to kill each other at the start, join each other because they had no choice with the fusion, learned to be there for each other, and go through a countless journey where they have fought giant monsters, Moebious, the annihilator, and destroy flame clocks one by one, and it's all guarded by a simple metal gate.
    People like to say how Nintendo games don't have a lot of story elements with Kirby's story mostly being behind lore, Metroid with the environments, and a few others that I know I am missing, but Xenoblade is one that openly shows you everything right to your eyes. And it's that reason I don't want to show my friends random scenes. If they haven't experienced their journey, then it won't hit as hard.

      Still, even Noah knows that without N, he would have made the same choice in the same circumstances.
      If he hadn’t seen what he’d become if he took that choice and suffered that cruelty, he would be the same person.
      In that moment he wished for the same thing his predecessor did.

      I disagree partially.
      In the terms of non-vocal music (aka general field map music) i would say XBC1 did the best as I remember many of the area musics from it. XBC2 was pretty meh for it's field music, and XBC3 was better than XBC2 but worse than XBC1
      There battle music from best to worst is XBC1, XBC2, XBC3. And XBC3 is only marginally worse than XBC2 in the essence that due to the common main enemy there is very little variation for the Boss music.
      When it comes to lyrical songs from best to worst is XBC2, XBC3 then XBC1. The reason I say this is i have come to the startling realization that "beyond the sky" is very damn similar to Ceylon Dion's "my heart will go on" for Titanic. And i barely recall any lines from that compared to Drifting Soul or A Step Away. They all have the same themes though, which is interesting but also to be expected. The themes are love, hope, uncertainty, guiding light (or guidance in general) and moving on. Also let's not forget that Beyond the sky was the ending theme and so had no actual cutscene.
      I will admit that Nia's "drifting Soul" is better than this one, but only by a small margin.
