@@Toxicfox63 No. The reasons why are that there's no cutscene viewer, so I'd have to play the entire game again if I wanted my protag in, and the story of X ends on a damn cliffhanger.
There’s actually a bit of dialogue you can stumble across in Junks from one of the engineers that describes how when Homs are fitted into faces, their circulatory systems are greatly increased in size and power in order to pump blood through the entirety of the mech. The red light visible in the body of nemesis and metal face is literally blood being pumped throughout the mechanical shell by their modified hearts.
I will be ever thankful for Smash Bros. for introducing me Shulk and the XenoBlade games. I played the second game Xenoblade Chronicles 2 on my switch, when I was looking for a RPG game, and I did not regret my purchase. I fell in love with the game and did everything I could in the game, I even bought the expansion pass because I wanted more content in XC 2. Now playing Xenoblade Chronicles Definitive Edition I'm fully enjoying Shulk's story and loving the characters and story. Definitely a must buy title on the Nintendo Switch.
I have to agree, although I was aware of Xenoblade Chronicles. Smash was the one to convince me to get it, though, so I got X on the Wii U, then 1 on the New3DS, then 1 again on the Wii U (Virtual Console), then then 2 and Torna on the Switch and finally XC:DE. No other game has made me happy to buy it three times, ahaha. I'm definitely doing a NG+ this time and unlocking most of the stuff! :D
@@OtakuDaiKun they do say early on that very few have been there and it can be a death sentence. I think it's specifically a High Entia talking to Melia for a side mission there.
@@Zach984racer That's just general RPG logic. You fight through hoards of enemies, leveling up while dodging the stronger ones, as though you were the strongest heroes in the land and yet somehow the damn NPCs are hangin' out there without weapons like it was no big deal. If it's in a cutscene, you can go anywhere uninterrupted, but if it's in the gameplay it's a dangerous trek.
It’s revealed by Yumea’s maid (who resides on Junks in Colony 6 after beating the game) that Yumea originally didn’t know Tyrea’s father was half Homs. But when they find out they kick him out of the order
As much as I love your fate content, it is nice to hear about some other fandoms. I’ve been looking for some good games to play on the switch, so this is going on the list
Truly, a magnificent game. The Xeno series as a whole is really able to inspire, and get you to think on its deep themes. While Xenoblade is more on the Fantasy end, Xenoblade X, Gears, and Xenosaga are a lot more scifi, but either way, they have a ton to offer.
@@user-sn1hi7my7x It's hard to say, we know Xenoblade 1-3 are connected. X is dubious for any of them. Xenosaga is all one story, and they are, and we do know this, connected (albeit not in a super statementy way due to legal reasons) to the original game, Xenogears. Something that appears in Xenoblade 2 may tie into Xenosaga, as may something from Future Connected, but it's only potentially. It's perfectly safe to play just the Xenoblade games, but, I'd recommend looking into the basic or summarized plot of the Xenosaga and Gears, since they're still a good story.
@@adamreddick1349 So. Basically like Final Fantasy. A bunch of games with the same name, but not all necessarily connected aside from sharing characters and lore. And Xenoblade X needs a sequel. There are a lot of cliffhangers at the end of that game.
@@user-sn1hi7my7x yeah, if you want to think of it that way, the segments are all kind of like a X and X-2 scenario. We just don't know the connecting Dissidia at this point to fully tie the segments together
very impressed with this video. ive been wanting to watch all the lore in one place and glad i found this channel. now just waiting to hear of when your xenoblade 2 video will come out
I would absolutely love to make that video, but it didn't get nearly enough views. It would be a passion project and I'm a bit too wrapped up in making a living atm. It could be a while.
This is probably the best video of its kind. It explains everything that most pf the Xenoblade community, including myself have researched about the incredible lore of the Xeno series. I have not watched until the end, so I presume you only covered Blade games, but even so, it's incredible. I'll edit this when I finish the video! :D --Edit: Yeah, it's amazing!--
Amazing video. Dude, this shit was more complex than my entire year of mid-school portuguese history, it's a goddamn 45 minute video about a video game saga, the information's so condensed I'm mesmerized how you can not shut up and stop spewing new information every f'ing second. I'm left wondering whether you're absolutely insane to do a video like this or a f'ing genius. Truly, a masterpiece.
I had abandoned JRPGs back in the early 2000s when I started to play Bioware and Obsidian RPGs and it was thanks to Xenoblade Chronicles that I came back. One of the greatest games I have ever played. Remember getting a Wii in 2014 just to play this game and the two other games from Operation Rainfall. Good times
Why does game that I’ve no interest in before has better story, character animation and design, expressions, and world than most JRPGs I’ve actually played?
To be fair, most cutscenes don't look like that. Only action or important scenes get that treatment. Regular conversations use preset animations, but these are still quality, as characters actually emote. Game is good, regardless
I jumped when I saw your new avatar. Not because it's scary but because I wasn't expecting it. It will take some getting used to but I do like it, He looks a little more like the way you did in your first Q&A so it makes sense why you probably wanted to change things up.
Can you imagine the constant dread of the Hight Entia. Always having to worry about the chance that at any moment, they could be turned into mindless flying dino beast. Losing your life is one thing. Losing your identity and having your body commit atrocities is another.
Now I finally understand the entirety of Xeno blade Chronicles one and the importance of the Future connected post game. While I still have my complaints and issues with the game especially with the story, I'd be lying if I didn't say that I didn't enjoy the story. Now I honestly wish that the next game in the series will basically have this: the good character development of Shulk from 1, the soild side character growth from 2 and the mech combat from X. If the 3rd game will have that then that will be my favorite in the series. Now I would totally love to hear Xeno saga stuff if only because that series is really really confusing and Xeno gears since not a lot of people remember that 1 despite it being the official 1st one. The only thing people remember about that 1 is the fact that the 2nd disk was crap but other then that, great lore video, would love to hear more Xeno stuff and Meila is still my favorite girl. Great job Dai! Oh before I forget love the new avatar you have!
@@OtakuDaiKun I guess it is due to the fact that combat was a lot like how you would see in an MMO, only it's more like a console RPG with MMO mechanics. That is one issue and the other was the quests and how they were handled. However Definitive Edition fixed where you would do the quest and what you needed and I guess playing through 2 fixed my bias toward MMO type RPGs. Had some bad blood with Final Fantasy 12 because of that bias. I still do appreciate the series though even if I have one friend who tried to play the first one, but after a few hours could not get into the combat.
Can I just say something? Xenoblade Chronicles has probably one of the best settings I've ever seen in all of the fiction that I've consumed. And I've consumed A LOT of fiction.
Never played the franchise, watched my brother play Xenosaga 1+2, while my nephew played Xenoblade 1, X, 2 and is a pretty mean Shulk in Smash. I myself have only played Endless Frontier, Endless Frontier EXCEED, Project X Zone and Project X Zone 2.
Came here for Xenoblade Chronicles x . Since it sounded like it would be talked about. however instead it just told me Xenoblade Chronicles 1. Well at least when I go to play that game I can forget this entire video, so I can experience it in earnest.
To be fair I would have mentioned X in the title. Doing all three games justice in one video would kill me, especially knowing it doesn’t get many views.
I appreciate a video like this existing because good lord I did not click with the gameplay in 1 but I still want to know the story so I can experience 3 (I've played 2)
@@OtakuDaiKun Tbh a lot of it comes down to the fact I have to keep hopping my thumb between the left stick and dpad for art swapping on switch which just feels clunky as all heck especially when you have the second game already under your belt which put that stuff on the face buttons. It is quite a personal thing but yeah the gameplay just was not clicking with me very much.
Spoilers Just FYI, the definitive edition redesign of Alvis all but confirms an old fan theory that he isn’t just “the computer controlling the conduit” as he states in XC1, but he is in fact, the third aegis which “disappeared in a demensional rift experiment” as klaus says in XC2. His redesign changes his necklace which used to just be a key into a red core crystal shaped just like pyra and malos’. This was believed to have been done due to how monoliftsoft not having a concrete plan for an overarching narrative connecting XC1 and 2. The remake solidified this connection more.
Hmmmm now that i seriously think about it both Zanza's and Meyneths' godly halo things are in the exact shape of the trinity processor especially during Zanza's final boss fight it even has a hexagon shape in the center exactly the same shape found on the trinity processor machine so it really does prove that Zanza only had godly powers due to the conduit/zohar and also the reason why Alvis says that his powers were finite becuase Klaus didnt truly become a god (only a God has ultimate authority, power, love, and perfection none of which Zanza had ever)
Wait this guy even likes the Xenoseries and Final Fantasy. Next thing I know Otakudaikun is gonna make some videos or livestreams on devil may cry (I hope)
@@tji7046 This video was a huge effort. A passion project, for sure. I'm glad it's hit 10k views now, but it took almost an entire year to get there. When I no longer have to struggle for baseline views I'll be delighted to try again.
@@OtakuDaiKun I feel you man, as a content creator too it can demoralizing spending so long on a video.. 1 years a long time. Anyways keep up the good work and I look forward to your Xenoblade Chronicles 2 video in the future! Ps: I've watched a lot of Xenoblade Chronicles videos on summary and story, even the channels that are specialist in Xenoblade.. let's just say this was the best. 🙌🏾
Still wondering how a telethia ended up on planet mira and how tatsu knows about frontier village But no one in 2 knows nothing about a telethia and etc
As a long time fan of Xenoblade, it was great to hear you talk about it. I’d love for you to cover the other titles, but not going to lie I’m somewhat worried how you’re going to cover the older games. Xenogears and Xenosaga are NOT easy to explain. Looking forward to it if it does happen though.
@@OtakuDaiKun Still peeved about Xenogears. It’s a great game with lots of potential that was wasted due to circumstance. I’m hoping that one day they might get around to remaking it. It’s a long shot but as someone who has also been waiting for a Ufotable Fate Route, I’m used to waiting.
Doesn’t Zanza state that he had created and destroyed many times already? That begs the question of how he managed to do that before Arglas found the Monado. Which brings up another question- Where was the Monado up until Arglas found it? What was Zanza doing up until then? And if he started to dislike the life on Bionis, why did he keep making it? He wouldn’t lose any ether if he didn’t make life. And how/when/why did he choose disciples? How did Alvis become one?
i finished the game just one day ago and have been thinking heavily about it since, and i can’t work out one thing. how was zanza inside shulk for most of the game yet he is also inside arglass at prison island? is his soul just split?there may be something i missed, but i’d appreciate any help on getting the answer.
Do we know where that fog King came from? I always thought it was what remained of zanzas will to be alive and to control the world as he pleased. Basically that is his will to live, or at least that is what i theorized
@@OtakuDaiKun accel takes place in 2046 also nerve gear is mentioned as well kuroyukihime is related to kirito but it's a debate whether she is kirito daughter its believed to be the white king her older sister who is kirito daughter kuroyukihime dual wields which is a special skill only kirito can get specifically in the game kuro also can learn starburst stream which is kirito sword skill kind of unique like mother Rosario is unique to Yukki not asuna also it's also stated in alicization when kirito uses those skills administrator states those sword skills are from another world which also implies they are connected plus in accel world sao kuro yukihine realized that ALO was a older VRMMO from 2026 so that explains most of it I dont know much about white cosmos or her real name I looked it up but that's in LN but its owned by same author also the seed is mentioned in the crossover game which kayba gave to kirito to make more gaming worlds
I’m already seeing vivid themes of determinism, free will, Gods will and what that means for free will. Finding meaning without Gods will. What makes a soul? Can machines have souls? At what point do we stop being human? Aren’t we all machines made by a God /universe determined before we came into being? And finding meaning and a determination to live in the face these questions.
Hey can someone explain to me why Zanza chose to leave Shulks body when he was fighting Egil and not earlier? Was he resting and just couldn’t leave? I’m very confused
@@OtakuDaiKun There were just too many things about her, as a person, that made me want to punch her in the face.... *A LOT.* Like, I kinda get it... but fuck was she a whiny piece of shit sometimes. Good lord was she punchable in Xenosaga 3. How Allen could deal with her is a testament to how goid a doirmat and food that he was. And the way she treated Jin wasn't exactly very fair either. I dunno. Ppl like her are a natural triggwr for me. Like, MOMO was actually more mature than Shion was, and that's kinda sad when you consider rhat Shion's a grown ass woman who acts like such a spoiled sack of shit sometimes. For me, I can't sympathize with her extreme bits of punch in the face worthy bits of selfishness. Call me an awful person, but fuck does she irritate me. Honestly, I sas happy I got to fight her, even if the circumstances for that boss fight were bullshit.
@@metroidcypher First off, Luka is best vocaloid. Second, Shion's sass is nice. Often times it's her lack of resolve that bugs me. She always seems so unsure of herself. Like the entire ending of the 3rd game was like an intermission for her.
Zanza You are correct. You yourselves have proven that Homs are a dangerous species. How unfortunate. I had a desire for friendship. But granting intelligence to the lives I created was a mistake. A god should not long for friendship. Shulk You're wrong! [Shulk slashes Zanza's Monado out of his way. ] Shulk Meyneth chose to exist alongside us! She grew to consider us her friends. You should have accepted that! But what you were hoping for was not friendship. You wanted worthless slaves. Our lives as food! Zanza Just as I suspected. It appears that I was mistaken to grant free will. However, all will soon be over. The Telethia will exterminate all life on Bionis. *******I will then create a new world! Just as I have done many times before!*******
@@OtakuDaiKun That's fine. Most of the good word about it really starts in Heavensward. There were points in A Realm Reborn (the main game) that felt like it dragged on even with the recent rework so it might've turned you off. Kind of like those shows that you gotta stick through the first (meh) season to get to the really good stuff.
@@OtakuDaiKun dude god sent i swear i was gonna start looking for the rest somewhere on youtube im adding it to my playlist cannot wait. Perfect timing cheers
@@OtakuDaiKun i got martha as a constellation prize and archer of the inferno any tips for farming items to level up servants i did get rider ishtar to np3
I honestly don’t see the appeal of the Trails series, though I do love Ys. Compared to Xeno, however, none of them compare. If Falcom wants to compete they need to put more budget into production values. That’s how I feel anyway.
@@OtakuDaiKun oh I understand. It was my mistake. I'm on chapter 8 in XC2 lol. Where is the info from, about the conduit being found in Africa? I they didn't seem to go into detail at the end of XC1.
@@OtakuDaiKun I mean I would get bored because of it's repeating and boring gameplay, but hardly get bored with the lore, art style and animation, I think it's one of those games that succeeds being an art piece or something really cool to look at but really frustrating or boring to play because of lack of variation and the hundreds of missions of the kind of go from A to B then come back, then go kill a monster go back. So I love Xenoblade from eveythink that is not the gameplay, I can look at how the maps are built for a lot of time. Well, you get it, it wasn't necessary to write a wall of text, sorry.

Just FYI, the definitive edition redesign of Alvis all but confirms an old fan theory that he isn’t just “the computer controlling the conduit” as he states in XC1, but he is in fact, the third aegis which “disappeared in a demensional rift experiment” as klaus says in XC2. His redesign changes his necklace which used to just be a key into a red core crystal shaped just like pyra and malos’.
This was believed to have been done due to how monoliftsoft not having a concrete plan for an overarching narrative connecting XC1 and 2. The remake solidified this connection more.
Well let's be real. They never really planned to make. a direct sequel when making XC1
Watching this lore makes me want to see more Xeno lore. Also what's the ost playing through the video?
It's all Xeno music.
@@OtakuDaiKun When I 1st Watched The video I thought you went over that fact that Alvis was the 3rd aegis but I was like🤔 Did he or
@@rghennig1 That would have been allocated for the Xenoblade 2 lore. Maybe if this video finally gets more views I'll make that one.
How about talking about Baten Kaitos one of MonolithSoft's non-Xeno games?
You know, I never realized that was monolith.
Hmmmm now that i seriously think about it both Zanza's and Meyneths' godly halo things are in the exact shape of the trinity processor especially during Zanza's final boss fight it even has a hexagon shape in the center exactly the same shape found on the trinity processor machine so it really does prove that Zanza only had godly powers due to the conduit/zohar and also the reason why Alvis says that his powers were finite becuase Klaus didnt truly become a god (only a God has ultimate authority, power, love, and perfection none of which Zanza had ever)
Wait this guy even likes the Xenoseries and Final Fantasy. Next thing I know Otakudaikun is gonna make some videos or livestreams on devil may cry (I hope)
Sadly that falls out of my interest.
I love Xenoblade chronicles hope to play 2 and 3 soon.
the Face Mechans are acutally very well designed concept for transformable pilot mecha
When is xenoblade 2 summary coming? :)
I was really hoping this vid would perform better.
@@OtakuDaiKun really? I think this is great.. but I get you, in comparison to the others you make?
Awell
@@tji7046 This video was a huge effort. A passion project, for sure. I'm glad it's hit 10k views now, but it took almost an entire year to get there. When I no longer have to struggle for baseline views I'll be delighted to try again.
@@OtakuDaiKun I feel you man, as a content creator too it can demoralizing spending so long on a video.. 1 years a long time.
Anyways keep up the good work and I look forward to your Xenoblade Chronicles 2 video in the future!
Ps: I've watched a lot of Xenoblade Chronicles videos on summary and story, even the channels that are specialist in Xenoblade.. let's just say this was the best.
🙌🏾
Still wondering how a telethia ended up on planet mira and how tatsu knows about frontier village
But no one in 2 knows nothing about a telethia and etc
We need a sequel to X!
What the song that play at the 8:00 , 25:00
I don't know the names but they're all from the game.
Love your new avatar
MASTERPIECE 🎮
As a long time fan of Xenoblade, it was great to hear you talk about it. I’d love for you to cover the other titles, but not going to lie I’m somewhat worried how you’re going to cover the older games. Xenogears and Xenosaga are NOT easy to explain. Looking forward to it if it does happen though.
It’s a good thing that I played the crap out of those games as a kid. Plus Xenogears has perfect works.
@@OtakuDaiKun Still peeved about Xenogears. It’s a great game with lots of potential that was wasted due to circumstance. I’m hoping that one day they might get around to remaking it. It’s a long shot but as someone who has also been waiting for a Ufotable Fate Route, I’m used to waiting.
James Hadden I found Gears’ rough patches to be quite charming. I would love a remake but there’d still be merit in the original’s aesthetic.
Doesn’t Zanza state that he had created and destroyed many times already? That begs the question of how he managed to do that before Arglas found the Monado. Which brings up another question- Where was the Monado up until Arglas found it? What was Zanza doing up until then? And if he started to dislike the life on Bionis, why did he keep making it? He wouldn’t lose any ether if he didn’t make life. And how/when/why did he choose disciples? How did Alvis become one?
My theory is that Xenoblade 3 will have fogbeasts in it and will take place in the dimension where they’re from.
Nice Xenoblade Chronicles Lore.
i finished the game just one day ago and have been thinking heavily about it since, and i can’t work out one thing.
how was zanza inside shulk for most of the game yet he is also inside arglass at prison island? is his soul just split?there may be something i missed, but i’d appreciate any help on getting the answer.
As far as I understand it, yes, he was split to a capacity.
Alivs has a core crystal
Yup
Do we know where that fog King came from? I always thought it was what remained of zanzas will to be alive and to control the world as he pleased. Basically that is his will to live, or at least that is what i theorized
Pretty sure it's the byproduct of the worlds starting to merge in Xenoblade 3.
@@OtakuDaiKun OH GODDAMNIT I FORGOT TO TELL I HAVE YET TO PLAY XENO 3
@@ilbranca9208 It's okay. That's not a huge spoiler or anything.
@@OtakuDaiKun well... Now that i think about it, it makes sense, considering that at the end of xeno 2, Rex and company go in the world of xeno 1
Would you consider doing some sao content as well as accel world considering they're from the same universe
They are?
@@OtakuDaiKun accel takes place in 2046 also nerve gear is mentioned as well kuroyukihime is related to kirito but it's a debate whether she is kirito daughter its believed to be the white king her older sister who is kirito daughter kuroyukihime dual wields which is a special skill only kirito can get specifically in the game kuro also can learn starburst stream which is kirito sword skill kind of unique like mother Rosario is unique to Yukki not asuna also it's also stated in alicization when kirito uses those skills administrator states those sword skills are from another world which also implies they are connected plus in accel world sao kuro yukihine realized that ALO was a older VRMMO from 2026 so that explains most of it I dont know much about white cosmos or her real name I looked it up but that's in LN but its owned by same author also the seed is mentioned in the crossover game which kayba gave to kirito to make more gaming worlds
Same universe, differing timelines
Did you get footage using the new game+
I got footage using the gallery from the title screen.
“Youthful age of 74” ...y-yup!
What a cool story
Can someone tell me what the song in the outro is called?
@@florigimario7253 Where I put the credits? That's an original song I use for the channel.
@@OtakuDaiKun Thanks for the Anwer. The Song sounds amazing. Did you upload the full Track on TH-cam or Spotify
@@florigimario7253I haven't, sorry.
@@OtakuDaiKun its alright. Thanks for the reply
I’m already seeing vivid themes of determinism, free will, Gods will and what that means for free will. Finding meaning without Gods will. What makes a soul? Can machines have souls? At what point do we stop being human? Aren’t we all machines made by a God /universe determined before we came into being? And finding meaning and a determination to live in the face these questions.
These are very common themes for Monolith Soft and I love it.
@@OtakuDaiKun thanks for this recap! This was very informative and helpful. I just got part 3 and I’m excited to get into it!
Hey can someone explain to me why Zanza chose to leave Shulks body when he was fighting Egil and not earlier? Was he resting and just couldn’t leave? I’m very confused
I think he had to leave once Shulk got shot. He wasn't about to let Shulk make peace with Egil so that just presented the opportune moment to emerge.
@@OtakuDaiKun thank you!
Will you ever livestream this game
I wanted to but hardly anyone watched my stream of XB2, and even this isn’t getting the views it deserves.
@@OtakuDaiKun true
This was awesome!
I love the Xeno series!
I.... kinda hate Xenosaga's Shion, but meh.
This really sparked interest in Chronicles.
I can understand the Shion stuff, though I personally like her.
@@OtakuDaiKun
There were just too many things about her, as a person, that made me want to punch her in the face.... *A LOT.*
Like, I kinda get it... but fuck was she a whiny piece of shit sometimes.
Good lord was she punchable in Xenosaga 3.
How Allen could deal with her is a testament to how goid a doirmat and food that he was.
And the way she treated Jin wasn't exactly very fair either.
I dunno. Ppl like her are a natural triggwr for me.
Like, MOMO was actually more mature than Shion was, and that's kinda sad when you consider rhat Shion's a grown ass woman who acts like such a spoiled sack of shit sometimes.
For me, I can't sympathize with her extreme bits of punch in the face worthy bits of selfishness.
Call me an awful person, but fuck does she irritate me.
Honestly, I sas happy I got to fight her, even if the circumstances for that boss fight were bullshit.
You dont like shions sass?
@@metroidcypher
Her sass is fine, it's her personal characterization that I dislike.
@@metroidcypher First off, Luka is best vocaloid. Second, Shion's sass is nice. Often times it's her lack of resolve that bugs me. She always seems so unsure of herself. Like the entire ending of the 3rd game was like an intermission for her.
not gonna lie when I saw your new avatar it freaked me out
As in it’s surprising or repulsive?
it's surprising
Like the new Avatar upgrade
My only thing that I can’t wrap my head around is the quote by Zanza “Just as I have done many times before!"
Is this true or is it a plot hole?
When specifically does he say that? During the boss?
Right before you face his first form
@@joshgamer4077 I don't remember the full quote. What exactly did he say he'd done many times before?
Zanza
You are correct.
You yourselves have proven that
Homs are a dangerous species.
How unfortunate.
I had a desire for friendship.
But granting intelligence to the
lives I created was a mistake.
A god should not long for friendship.
Shulk
You're wrong!
[Shulk slashes Zanza's Monado out of his way. ]
Shulk
Meyneth chose to exist alongside us!
She grew to consider us her friends.
You should have accepted that!
But
what you were hoping for was not friendship.
You wanted worthless slaves.
Our lives as food!
Zanza
Just as I suspected.
It appears that I was mistaken to grant free will.
However, all will soon be over.
The Telethia will exterminate
all life on Bionis.
*******I will then create a new world!
Just as I have done many times before!*******
@@OtakuDaiKun Time stamp 10:09:10

It's Dai time!
Still waiting on pt 2
I've been considering it given XBC3's announcement.
Fiora is now a blade
Random video game suggestion since I got myself into it recently. Do you play FFXIV? Updated Free Trail goes up to Heavensward now (1st expansion).
I don't. I hear it's good but it might not be for me.
@@OtakuDaiKun That's fine. Most of the good word about it really starts in Heavensward. There were points in A Realm Reborn (the main game) that felt like it dragged on even with the recent rework so it might've turned you off.
Kind of like those shows that you gotta stick through the first (meh) season to get to the really good stuff.
Who else is getting ready for xenoblade 3??
Me! Also, look out for Tuesday and Friday as I'll be releasing my Lore of XBC2 in two parts. In total it's 90 minutes long!
@@OtakuDaiKun dude god sent i swear i was gonna start looking for the rest somewhere on youtube im adding it to my playlist cannot wait. Perfect timing cheers
Anyone get medb got the banner caster is she any good how do you unlock full noble phantasms for servants who dont reveal their name
I'm assuming you have to clear the part in the story where they show up. Medb for instance is in the E Pluribus Unum one.
@@OtakuDaiKun i beat it already i git ishtar rider to np3 the caster who was with nitocris i got her on a single is she any good
@@OtakuDaiKun i mean on the gatcha i did anyone get medb i meant i got the caster on the medb banner
Allen Duncan Scheherazade? She shows up in Agartha. Not sure how good she is.
@@OtakuDaiKun i got martha as a constellation prize and archer of the inferno any tips for farming items to level up servants i did get rider ishtar to np3
Please do XC2 or XCX next
I would have a while ago if this were more popular.
@@OtakuDaiKun Aw I see, a really good video nonetheless! I'm happy that something like this exists for XC1 anyway
0:28 Falcom Games makes the best rpgs. I would say Atlus is 2nd. The Xeno series is great though.
I honestly don’t see the appeal of the Trails series, though I do love Ys. Compared to Xeno, however, none of them compare. If Falcom wants to compete they need to put more budget into production values. That’s how I feel anyway.
Born into a world of strife!
Against the odds!
Does x take place in shulks universe?
That remains to be seen. They haven't made nearly as significant references as they have the main two entries.
Came here for a recap of Xenoblade 1 and got spoilers for Xenoblade 2?
I'm sorry, but the two stories are connected. That info doesn't really tell you much about the characters and their journey for XBC 2.
Finally got a day off of work to catch up.
Youthful age of 74...okay. I know they are a long lived race but still lol.
Apparently it’s like the equivalent of 16.
Hey hey hey otakudaikun I am really enjoying your videos a lot go otakudaikun go.😸😸😸😸😸😸😸😸😸😸😸😸😸😸😸😸😸😸😸😸
Oh telethia what could have caused one to be on Mira
And the hardest boss in the game no less.
This uhhh... needs an update.
How so? I've covered all of Xenoblade 2 and 3 in separate videos.
I like Much Better gears and Saga but the story of this game amazing
Gears is my favorite game, period.
@@OtakuDaiKun high5
Wow when you done this video !
For once YT recommand somethink good
Thank you. This was a huge passion project.
Damn like 2 min in and I'm spoiled on XC2 lol
If you want a comprehensive understanding of the whole series so far, this is the best way.
@@OtakuDaiKun oh I understand. It was my mistake. I'm on chapter 8 in XC2 lol.
Where is the info from, about the conduit being found in Africa? I they didn't seem to go into detail at the end of XC1.
@@noliva24 To my knowledge, a lot of lore was released alongside some figures of the Mechs in XBC2.
I find Xenoblade boring, flat and would never play it. But the lore, animation and music are just beautiful and epic, thank you for making this :3
Wait, how is it beautiful, epic, and boring?
@@OtakuDaiKun I mean I would get bored because of it's repeating and boring gameplay, but hardly get bored with the lore, art style and animation, I think it's one of those games that succeeds being an art piece or something really cool to look at but really frustrating or boring to play because of lack of variation and the hundreds of missions of the kind of go from A to B then come back, then go kill a monster go back. So I love Xenoblade from eveythink that is not the gameplay, I can look at how the maps are built for a lot of time.
Well, you get it, it wasn't necessary to write a wall of text, sorry.
@@OtakuDaiKun Also, if this isn't the full story, it would be cool you do that, this video is really good :3
@@holake4456 I see. To each their own as far as the combat goes. I personally love it.
