When Chuggaa made the joke about visiting Colony 9, I imagined Dunban looking in the right place at the right time, and seeing the three of them fall out of the sky into the lake below.
Hey Emile, did you know that Sharla has some pretty punny battle quotes? I got both of these within two hours of playing as her: "Looks like we're calling the shots!" "Don't jump the gun, Reyn!" I swear, sometimes it's like you were doing the translation for this game.
There's also a really great one when she passes a chain attack to Reyn. If I laughed out loud to it, that your reaction will easily cost a few dozen man points if you get it on recording.
What I like the most about Emile, is that TH-cam fame or time doesn't change him or his videos much. When you go to watch a video and sub to see more of that, you expect more of that and it's good that that's what you get.
DUUUUUUUUUDE I had no idea Colony 9 was see-able from there! I put freaking 140+ hours into this game and never saw that! Xenoblade still blows me away today...
several things I want to say. 1.) Sharla's headgear looks hilarious. 2.) Shulk lost his ability to fly oh well. 3.) Ryen knows shulk can see the future and by now Sharla should as well so he could have at least whispered to them about the vision he had. Sharla would have really wanted to know something like this I feel.
10 ปีที่แล้ว +6
He may not have seen enough This would make a hard choice i mean let him die to save Juju and Gadolt
True there wasn't enough but they want to change the future so hopefully he sees a little more where they can make a plan to save all 3. besides if it's the bronze face they would need a good plan since not even the monado can't injure it.
There are at least three ways the old man could have gotten into that situation. Even able to see the future, Shulk doesn't have enough information to tell the others that would do anything but worry them.
My favorite quote is: Reyn: See Sharla? Brawn over brain. Sharla: I can't let that one go. ???: The head! Shoot him in the head! Reyn: What?! What did I say?! Anything that features Reyn is an instant classic.
Every day, innocent Krabbles are being accused of noticing Homs that are traveling through the drainage systems, when really, they've done nothing at all and are being killed for it. Please, donate $1 a month to KrabbleAid, and you could save an innocent Krabbles life, thank you.
You know, say what you will about underwear being ridiculous in cutscenes... Am I the only one who think Sharla's wing headdress is really out of place? xD
Dont ask me why im posting this to TH-cam...But this is directed towards Chuggaaconroy. Yo wassup Emile, uhm lemme just say you've helped me with...things...Literally like 5 minutes ago I found out my girlfriend lied about loving me and...You can imagine how that ended. Anyways, thank you so much for making your videos. You've really helped me in the past and only 10 minutes into this video I smiled which is something I didn't think I'd do so soon. So thank you, and keep doin' what your doin'!!
Damn, dude...my condolences. If I found out something like that I don't know what'd happen. I've had that fear before but her and I are perfectly fine as far as I know. Glad you could find solace here with Chugga though :)
14:07 "You should have no trouble at all getting these items for the Collectopaedia." *Spends half an hour searching for a stupid Sirius Anemone* .......
Even though the lip-sync is very bad(More like non-existent as their mouths just flap like they are chewing with their mouths open), the voice acting and dialogue more than make up for it. I love it. At the beginning of the game I thought the bad syncing would take me out of the game, but I realize now that I prefer good dialogue and voice over a perfect lip-sync. I'm also really digging the soundtrack.
So the old, calm, bald black dude is a much more effective leader than the impotent, screamy colonel from Colony 9, fancy that. Now, place your bets on how much Shulk not saying a word about his most recent vision is going to come back and bite the entire team in the ass.
+ShadyKnight9 It doesn't help the colonel's case that his crew seems to be incompetent, while in Otharon's case, everyone who'd be like that evacuated while all the willing soldiers stayed with him.
Although I agree with you, he kinda had to do all of that sidequesting because all of those sidequests would have VANISHED after a certain point in the story, so he had to get those out of the way for a 100% playthrough.
I like how no one seems particularly fussed about Shulk casually wielding the legendary magic sword that is the sole hope for the Homs to defeat the Mechon and nearly crippled its last user. Its just like "yeah, neat. Hey did I tell you I met Dunban once?"
I honestly feel one of the reason Shulk does not say much about his visions at this point in the game is because he himself is still coming to terms with them. Yes, it has been proven he can change potential potential futures. . . but would anyone blindly start trusting that ability? There is also very little context to the visions themselves, and he is seeing things in places he has never been. I imagine it is actually very disorienting. Also, while Reyn and Sharla may have believed him, there is a very good change that Otharon would not have, and he already seems to feel that Shulk is not up to the task of wielding the Monado like Dunban (who could not see the future) did. Also, Shulk does not come off as all that confrontational at this point, and does not seem willing to cause any sort of tension for anyone at this point in time.
You know, considering that the visions of someone's death that Shulk had up to this point would've come true if it weren't for his and the Monado's involvement (sans Fiora), it kind of disturbs me that he doesn't immediately say anything about his vision of Otharon at the end of this video.
JustCommentOkay But Reyn knows it for a fact, and Sharla has been told about it (with the visions involving Juju) At the very least it would make everyone more careful.
I really appreciate you doing such an in depth let's play for this game, as you know it is massive so it is quite a feat to do what you are doing, also, as far as I know, this is the first 100% let's play of Xenoblade on all youtube. I am exited to see you react to some of my favourite moments in the game. All I can say is thankyou.
13:31 Colony 9 is down there. Wanna go visit? Chuggaa, you seriously make me laugh even when I'm down. I really love your Xenoblade series so far and this moment takes the cake. :)
You gotta keep in mind Gadolt was to be her HUSBAND before Colony 6 got attacked, where as Juju's just her annoying-at-times kid brother. She cares for both in different ways. It's not as if she's dependent on Gadolt, or she hates Juju. It's just that various parts of their background and actions affect her opinion of them and makes her more worried about Gadolt. I'm probably missing something here, but that's what I gathered, at least.
Also Sharla at the very least knows that the faced mechon has Juju and based on what it said it's waiting for them. She has no idea what happened to Gadolt or where he could be.
Man I love this game and this let's play so much. Hearing you say you played that you played this 3 times over just made me feel the need to say how much I love your let's plays and xenoblade chronicles in general! I'm actually rewatching this a 3 time as a refresher for when the definitive edition comes out!
I was wondering whether Chugga would be OCD about filling in EVERY single part of the map in this playthrough, but that may not happen just because of how much time it takes in some areas. We still get all the fantastic views regardless.
They don't see it... I thought that was pretty clear. It's the monada Showing shulk the future through his eyes, the party couldn't possibly see it because they're not getting showed the same thing shulk is.
PuPSter PuP I understand that for the most part they're facing a different direction, or he's behind them, but he was *standing right next to them.* I don't know if it was a faint glow or something, but I'd still notice.
It may be something that happens when he has a vision. He says it's a feeling like time had stopped, so it may only be for a small amount of time from Reyn or Sharla's perspective. And when were they looking straight at Shulk when it happens?
I don't think they see the blue glow either, I believe that the Monado shows Shulk and of course only Shulk the future. I'm pretty sure the blue glow is just to show us that he's gonna have a vision.
I've gotta ask Chuggaa. When was it that you decided/realized Xenoblade Chronicles was your all time favorite game? Was it a particular story moment, or was it just unlike anything you've ever played?
I have some bad memories of the Splintered Path. There's a Unique Monster there that only comes out during storms. I don't remember it's name, but it's a nebula. When I fought it, it went over the edge of the path so only Sharla could hit it, except for Shulk when using Stream Edge. Every so often, it would use an attack that would blow us back. After about 5 minutes of this, I decided to try and lure it back over solid ground. It worked, and then we were all able to hit it. After a while of that, it used it's blowback attack again. It knocked Shulk (me) of the edge of the path and into the Endless Sea. I respawned at the Drainage Pipe, and before I could reach the Monster again, it had stopped raining and it had vanished.
Hey Chuggaaconroy I got Xenoblade thanks to this LP (I've been interested but this made me finally bite the bullet) I'm currently just a little bit behind you as of this video and I noticed something, monsters with an all black icon won't attack you monsters with a blue icon will attack you but most likely you'll be able to defeat them, monsters with a red icon will attack you if you set them off ( unless they have a normal monster icon which then it is entirely up to the player to engage the monster), now I'm just letting you know that this is something that I've noticed on my game but I have no idea if this is true for all people but I thought it was worth mentioning (Added) Also the Bionis Leg is a bitch with all the leveled 70+ enemes I was wondering around when i got to an area called the Dark Shrine a giant Spider thing came out of nowhere and scared the freaking crap out of me killing me as soon as it attacked it wasn't a fun sight
The color indicates the monster's level in respect to your own. Red monsters are much higher level than you while black monsters are lower level than you. It's because of the level difference. Blue monsters are slightly above you and green is between blue and red monsters. It's in the manual which is how I found out.
The color indicator is indeed in all games. Black: No threat Blue: Will engage, but manageable Yellow: Manageable, but watch yourself Red: Be careful here. Save specific Gem combos, you're probably outmatched. Though I admit, using certain positioning exploits or Gem combos to beat Lv. 70 enemies is pretty satisfying.
This series fills me with happiness every time I see a new episode released and it's been a long time since that's happened with a Let's Play... This is honestly THE best LP I've ever watched and we're only 15 episodes in. Thank you, Chugga :)
finally, some good old progress! The past few episodes have felt so boring with maybe one cutscene that's important to the story through all three of em. But there is more story in this one so I can stop being annoying about it and just enjoy.
Hey Emile, I gotta say, bionis leg was really BOOT-iful! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! And we all gotta HAND it to monolith for this amazing land! You're rubbing off on me Emile, via let's play
Worlds with a large Adventurer demographic are fascinating places, shops in dangerous or out-of-the-way places, designer equipment, and you're able to dump chores on passersby as someone will take you up on the XP eventually.
JustCommentOkay Well, it's not quite the ultimate weapon, as we've seen that it can't hurt the giant Gund- I mean Face Mechon. Since I presume the Mechon just have stronger metal, Shulk and the others could beat the Faces by just using weapons made of stronger/similar material, rather than the Monado. It's like in Pokemon. Earthquake beats almost everything, but it still helped to have something that could beat that one Pokemon Earthquake didn't deal with.
One thing that I'm not sure if you've pointed out specifically yet or not is that if you kill an enemy with a Chain Attack, it instantly fills up a block of your Party Gauge, meaning that you can pull off a second one right away if you manage to kill at least 3 enemies during one.
Preface: I am here to give another view of this game as someone who did not enjoy it. You can enjoy it all you want, but I did not enjoy it. Let me also say I am doing this to foster discussion. I am not going to spoil past this video, but I will discuss everything within this video. So if you don't want this video to be spoiled, avoid reading until the end. Last Stand... The skill really bothered me. I ended up never using it for the reasons mentioned. I could never time it right because Reyn would get healed, and AI never used it to get back up. Luckily there are no shortage of arts to use. And like Chugga also mentions, if you leave the area before finding the landmark at the end of the path, you have to run the entire length of the area a second time. And notice, Chugga fought like 1 enemy, so walking that entire way is pretty much a loading screen. Though the path gets a use for the second quest, but you still have to travel the entire distance. And I think I forgot to mention this for the other weather based quest at Raguel Lake, but when getting rain to happen is a pain, the quest becomes dead weight. Chugga takes a long time to get it to rain both times. So if you aren't really patient, you're going to get a bit angry. The detail in the world around you explains the draw distance so much. I didn't know about the Colony 9 thing, so it makes even more sense now. Then we get some Platforming. The platforming in this game is really, really stiff. There is very little of it from my memory, but the few points that you need it aren't really that fun. Oh, and Reyn taking control of the situation. Man he becomes awesome in addition to his great catchphrases. Secret areas really aren't that secret sometimes... The Glowmoss area isn't that far off the beaten path. Then we meet Otharon and get him as a Guest for a battle... I don't know if it was hardware limitations or removed because of all the other stuff they added like seeing super far away, but why does Otharon vanish? It is a hugely missed opportunity. Imagine having a few guests later in the game, and doing harder fights? Oh well. And oh boy, Gadolt is gone or missing or something. Where is is, who knows? Another sad and touching scene... interrupted by another vision! Otharon will die, but at least they can stop it because Shulk is now telling people when he has a vision, right?... Right?... Ri-Why isn't is saying anything? Why did he lie to Reyn? WHAT THE HELL SHULK?! You've changed the future more than just once now! Why aren't you saying anything! Jesus Christ this angered me so much. Just as I thought Shulk learned how to use his power, and tell his friends to be wary of things... at least partially, he goes back to saying nothing at all! Is he really that dense? Hell, even in the side-quest you mention the Nopon is going to die due to the Picture Book. SO WHY NOW?! Sigh... Even if the gameplay was perfect, Shulk would still ruin everything.
Maybe Shulk is worried that telling someone that they'll die will stop them from doing what thy plan to do. I don't wish to spoil what I mean but I'm pretty sure you know what I mean. The cave for me was pretty painless I liked that an NPC tells you how to get through it made it feel more realistic. The platforming never feels that terrible for me since the game is pretty forgiving death wise.
Lion Day Well Shulk does not know what anyone plans to do, he just sees them die. For all we know at this point, Otharon tries and fails to do something with his "Juju, Gadolt! This is for you!" The success of any and all actions is unknown. Telling him wouldn't stop him from doing it anyway, at most he might be a bit more careful. I mean, he and Gadolt are like the only ones who stayed behind. That is also beside the point. Reyn isn't the one in danger. But Shulk lies to Reyn. You know how this ends up working out for Shulk. You mean the Ether Mines? The game might be forgiving death wise, but there is at least one example of platforming later on that is pure dumb, and sticks in my mind like a huge sore thumb, poking the issue of large, empty areas at the same time. Plus, how good the platforming is shouldn't be dictated by how forgiving death is. If you're dying a lot because you can't aim your jumps right, that makes the platforming bad, even if there is no penalty for death at all.
LostSoldier20 Preface I've just gotten done with the Fallen arm. So I haven't completed the game. The only times I've ever died from platforming has been when I stupidly jumped on very small platforms, or on said platforms got knocked off by a monster. So guess I don't find it all that hard. Anyways you and me both know he's about to get a talking to about holding back when it comes to those vision things.
Lion Day That's kinda spoilerish to an area in the future. The area I am thinking of is much later in the game, so I can't say where I'm thinking of, besides it is right before the "Act 2" of the game. That's what I meant about it ending well for Shulk. Reyn thinks he's being stupid too.
Fun fact about this game's title. Recently I've been forced to face my heated fear of the unknown so I decided to search the phobia name of "the fear of the unknown". It's called Xenophobia. The prefix "Xeno-" means strange, foreign, or unknown. How about taking that wisdom to the title, Xenoblade? Basically the title is another word for the Monado, or basically a sword made for something foreign. The Monado is the only thing besides attacking while toppled that can actually do damage to the Mechon. Oddly fitting right?
Yep. It's funny, because the game's title was planned to be "Monado: Beginning of the World" which isn't quite as meaningful. But the title "Xenoblade" has so many meanings if you could think about it hard enough.
diortem emirp That reminds me, when I was sifting through the save data on my Wii yesterday, I noticed two things. 1) The picture representing Xenoblade Chronicles' save data has my favorite party member on it. 2) The data was labeled "Xenoblade Chronicles: The beginning of the world". And it was capitalized that way. Interesting that that subtitle is still in the game's data even though it was removed from the cover.
i know, i understand you have to do quests to be more powered up but i just feel like they're ruining the story progress, i mean the storyline is whats always important at least in a game like this
Hey Chuggaconroy. I've never been into Let's plays before but you've got me hooked! I really love your sense of humor and your appreciation of this game. It's always a joy for me to watch you effortlessly go through this game. I really love it!
So true Infected I am loving this game. I didn't watch the first few episodes i prefer seeing the game after the introduction part of it. Because those bits are slow as craaap in general and it can put people off the game to easy. ^^
that is one thing I really don't like about games like this, lines like "Did you say something?" "No its nothing" Also you missed you chance with Fiora, the sounds she makes when she jumps is just hilarious.
Yeah, back when you get her in Tephra Cave I jumped with Fiora and was like "It sounded like she got stabbed in the gut." An hour later.... "Oh I didn't mean- ..... dammit."
Just in case you don't know by now: The Mechon in the mine did notice you actually. It ran away on purpose to lure the other Mechon to you which is why you got the aggro shortly after.
I know this wasn't the intention but I put this on whenever my wife has trouble sleeping she likes your content so much that she often falls asleep to it and your voice is so calming it works Ps this is her account
When Chuggaa made the joke about visiting Colony 9, I imagined Dunban looking in the right place at the right time, and seeing the three of them fall out of the sky into the lake below.
+VokunKendovJosh Then he looks to his bottle of pain medication and throws it it away.
Plus no damage bc you landed in water
Reyn is just a walking meme at this point and we all love him for it!
14:41 It's Reyn Dive!
hey tim
NCS, Does anyone ever mention how hilariously awesome and awesomely hilarious you are?
How you liking this so far Tim?
Couldn't help yourself, could ya', Tim? ;P I think Emile's rubbin' off on ya'.
Btw, are you playing along here too, or just watching, if I may ask?
lol i see what you did
Hey Emile, did you know that Sharla has some pretty punny battle quotes? I got both of these within two hours of playing as her:
"Looks like we're calling the shots!"
"Don't jump the gun, Reyn!"
I swear, sometimes it's like you were doing the translation for this game.
Hahaha, she does have a few good ones. I just haven't had a chance to show them off quite yet. I do get a pretty good one in the near future, though.
There's also a really great one when she passes a chain attack to Reyn. If I laughed out loud to it, that your reaction will easily cost a few dozen man points if you get it on recording.
+chuggaaconroy Please catch it on recording Chugga (saying emile feels too formal) even cut it on to just before the end screen
chuggaaconroy Dunban has some good ones too.
"Hmm Amateurs"
"You call that a challenge?"
Probably not the funniest, but definitely the most badass.
DarkDragonMedeus spoilers(?).
What I like the most about Emile, is that TH-cam fame or time doesn't change him or his videos much.
When you go to watch a video and sub to see more of that, you expect more of that and it's good that that's what you get.
Aquae That's the problem I had with Ssundee, he started being a frikin Vloger
To this day, this still holds true.
Years later and except for some higher quality mic and him speaking in higher pitch as his voice change from age, still true.
DUUUUUUUUUDE I had no idea Colony 9 was see-able from there! I put freaking 140+ hours into this game and never saw that!
Xenoblade still blows me away today...
the picture is jsut TOOOO PERFECT fr this comment
"A light bat as opposed to a dark bat?"
No Chugga, we just call him Batman.
several things I want to say.
1.) Sharla's headgear looks hilarious.
2.) Shulk lost his ability to fly oh well.
3.) Ryen knows shulk can see the future and by now Sharla should as well so he could have at least whispered to them about the vision he had. Sharla would have really wanted to know something like this I feel.
He may not have seen enough
This would make a hard choice i mean let him die to save Juju and Gadolt
True there wasn't enough but they want to change the future so hopefully he sees a little more where they can make a plan to save all 3. besides if it's the bronze face they would need a good plan since not even the monado can't injure it.
There are at least three ways the old man could have gotten into that situation. Even able to see the future, Shulk doesn't have enough information to tell the others that would do anything but worry them.
My favorite quote is:
Reyn: See Sharla? Brawn over brain.
Sharla: I can't let that one go.
???: The head! Shoot him in the head!
Reyn: What?! What did I say?!
Anything that features Reyn is an instant classic.
Mine is
"When the tough gets tough, the going gets going"
and
"You can't make a rainbow without Reyn!"
Primus I swear. They better have some sort of Reyn character in X.
NovemberCrystal The Nopon character at the end of the trailer sold me. He's even cuter than all the Nopon's I've seen in this LP so far. ^w^
GBAer64 The cutest Nopon are the children. They always have that cute smile.
I want a Nopon doll! *NOW*

I can already see a future Xenoblade episode being titled:
Facing some Problems
Chugga, my granddad just died. You have no idea how much I needed this video right now. Thank you.
I'm sorry to hear that, hopefully this one can cheer you up even a little.
I apologize for your loss. I hope things can get better.
Dang, sorry to hear that, man... Hope things can get better.
Hope you're alright D: I know the feeling
Sorry to hear that man. It always sucks when its your grandparents ;(
You know, say what you will about underwear being ridiculous in cutscenes...
Am I the only one who think Sharla's wing headdress is really out of place? xD
nope, i fully agree, the headdress makes her look like that one race from ni no kuni
Oh boy, Chuggaa...
Funny thing is I'm close to the final boss (not spoiling it!) but Shulk I have equipped with slippers. For the final boss. Yeah XD
Glad I am not the only one
Just wait until he gets the amazon armor. It looks like a table cloth wrapped around in string designed by a 5-year old
13:20

I bet the Colony 9 colonel's life on it.
I bet a crowd of Dobercorgis on it.
+ShadyKnight9 It doesn't help the colonel's case that his crew seems to be incompetent, while in Otharon's case, everyone who'd be like that evacuated while all the willing soldiers stayed with him.
13:16 I love that he says "that is how far we have come" and at this point he's only barely 10% of the way through everything.
He's been saying that since the tephra cave entrance
Story progression. Yeah! As much as i like just seeinng you sidequesting, i am also really interested in the story.
Showoff.
Rapid Wing i´m a dude.
Rapid Wing no prob. It was just a heads up =)
Although I agree with you, he kinda had to do all of that sidequesting because all of those sidequests would have VANISHED after a certain point in the story, so he had to get those out of the way for a 100% playthrough.
You're not alone. Although my sister is not interested in playing this game, she watched me play it because she liked the story.

I SAW AND I'M HERE LIKE "SMASH BROS DIDN'T LIE WITH THAT TROPHY"
Primal Sunny Chugga said in a previous episode, "Don't post spoilers."
Rainbow Sherbet the only way that you would get spoiled is if you clicked read more :/, not his fault
Just my two cents, but you knew there was a spoiler. If it was spoiled for you, I believe it was on your accord.
"What about Gadolt?" - Yeah, answer me! I don't give a flying crap about my brother; what about my LOVE INTEREST?!
13:16 Holy moly they traveled that far!? That's incredible! :o
Time to mash up some Mechon with the Monado on Monday
Monado Mondays
Couldn't have said it better myself!
iownalx23
And Tuesdays and Wensdays and Thursdays and Fridays.
Lion Day Wednesdays... Don't you mean Reynsdays? Yeah I'll show myself out.
Radicalgamer55 No, wait, come back.
I never noticed that you could see Colony 9 all the way from Colony 6. That's awesome!
Speaking of puns, you should've said "We've completed another LEG of our journey across the Bionis."
I honestly feel one of the reason Shulk does not say much about his visions at this point in the game is because he himself is still coming to terms with them. Yes, it has been proven he can change potential potential futures. . . but would anyone blindly start trusting that ability? There is also very little context to the visions themselves, and he is seeing things in places he has never been. I imagine it is actually very disorienting. Also, while Reyn and Sharla may have believed him, there is a very good change that Otharon would not have, and he already seems to feel that Shulk is not up to the task of wielding the Monado like Dunban (who could not see the future) did. Also, Shulk does not come off as all that confrontational at this point, and does not seem willing to cause any sort of tension for anyone at this point in time.
You know, considering that the visions of someone's death that Shulk had up to this point would've come true if it weren't for his and the Monado's involvement (sans Fiora), it kind of disturbs me that he doesn't immediately say anything about his vision of Otharon at the end of this video.
If you tell someone they will die because you saw the future, they probably wouldn't believe you.
JustCommentOkay But Reyn knows it for a fact, and Sharla has been told about it (with the visions involving Juju) At the very least it would make everyone more careful.
Xade23 I agree with that. Later on Reyn points this out to Shulk.
14:42 Reyn banned from Smash 4 due to not dying when thrown off the stage, OP
Reyn looks like he's about to kick some huuuuge ass in his new armor lol
13:30 Imagine the reactions of the citizens of Colony 9 if you were able to somehow jump down to there.
Wow, I did not know you can see Colony 9 from the splintered path - my mind just got blown^^
14:30 oh no we lost the only one that can hurt the maccon XD
Juju will be in...fuck, I mean Shulk will be in the next Smash game
Way to switch it up this time.
Juju will be in fuck?
Are... Are you going to keep putting that up once the new smash game is out?
goldengurl20101 only until the LP is over
Juju will be in Smash Bros.
13:18 Didn't know you could see Colony 9 from that point. I just love that view!
15:55 Never did figure out how to get to that platform.
I really appreciate you doing such an in depth let's play for this game, as you know it is massive so it is quite a feat to do what you are doing, also, as far as I know, this is the first 100% let's play of Xenoblade on all youtube. I am exited to see you react to some of my favourite moments in the game. All I can say is thankyou.
13:31 Colony 9 is down there. Wanna go visit?
Chuggaa, you seriously make me laugh even when I'm down. I really love your Xenoblade series so far and this moment takes the cake. :)
Is it just me or does it seem like Sharla cares more about Gadolt than Juju?
It's like Sora and Riku. He cares more about the missing person than the damsel in distress.
You're stuck with your siblings, you pick your lover.
You gotta keep in mind Gadolt was to be her HUSBAND before Colony 6 got attacked, where as Juju's just her annoying-at-times kid brother. She cares for both in different ways. It's not as if she's dependent on Gadolt, or she hates Juju. It's just that various parts of their background and actions affect her opinion of them and makes her more worried about Gadolt. I'm probably missing something here, but that's what I gathered, at least.
Also Sharla at the very least knows that the faced mechon has Juju and based on what it said it's waiting for them. She has no idea what happened to Gadolt or where he could be.
otharon looks like ghandi tho
15:03 Diavolo death loop artists rendition
Sharla: Gone! What do you mean gone!
Me: He went out to get some ice cream
Man I love this game and this let's play so much. Hearing you say you played that you played this 3 times over just made me feel the need to say how much I love your let's plays and xenoblade chronicles in general! I'm actually rewatching this a 3 time as a refresher for when the definitive edition comes out!
I was wondering whether Chugga would be OCD about filling in EVERY single part of the map in this playthrough, but that may not happen just because of how much time it takes in some areas. We still get all the fantastic views regardless.
Dont worry he says ( not a spoiler ) that getting all the landmarks will auto complete the map
Ya know...I wonder if Colony 6 residents ever parachuted down to Colony 9
"GEEEERRRROOOONIMOOOOO!"
What time is it? *looks at clock* HOORAY IT'S REYN TIME!!!!
You fool...
ITS ALWAYS RYAN TIME
7:39 only one sentence comes to mind:
HI I'M DAZING!
It seems that you've finished that LEG of the race!
13:27
Shulk: "I can see my house from here!"
Why does nobody make any comments when Shulk's eyes glow? Reyn and Sharla were standing right next to him when it happened!!
They don't see it... I thought that was pretty clear. It's the monada Showing shulk the future through his eyes, the party couldn't possibly see it because they're not getting showed the same thing shulk is.
PuPSter PuP I understand that for the most part they're facing a different direction, or he's behind them, but he was *standing right next to them.* I don't know if it was a faint glow or something, but I'd still notice.
It may be something that happens when he has a vision. He says it's a feeling like time had stopped, so it may only be for a small amount of time from Reyn or Sharla's perspective. And when were they looking straight at Shulk when it happens?
I don't think they see the blue glow either, I believe that the Monado shows Shulk and of course only Shulk the future. I'm pretty sure the blue glow is just to show us that he's gonna have a vision.
PuPSter PuP
Okay, that makes some sense...
14:44 - PROOF Reyn is a f*cking genius
"If we go even further south, we find a secret area!!"
-Chuggaaconroy, June 30, 2014
Well, this was pre-recorded, so I don't know the exact date. XP
7:40, I never thought you would say that after that fiasco in Jon's stream couple of months ago.
Spoiler alert:
Get used to Shulk saying "It's nothing, forget it." EVERY SINGLE TIME THERE'S A VISION.
It not a spoiler we all shall it happen
2:23 The heck I guess he's really feeling it :D
I've gotta ask Chuggaa. When was it that you decided/realized Xenoblade Chronicles was your all time favorite game? Was it a particular story moment, or was it just unlike anything you've ever played?
When I saw the thumbnail out of the corner of my eye, I thought that Reyn was some OoT character artwork for Ganondorf.
I can't take Sharla seriously with that feather hat she's wearing.
The amount Chugga spends on the editing the video and the annotations is CRAZY, really deserves more subs.
it seems you are done with that LEG of your journey
Looks like you're tricking the AI into dropping from the drainage pipe. In which case, I guess you could say they FELL for it!
You can see Colony 9 from all the way up here? ....... It's official. I HAVE to explore this world now. :3
I have some bad memories of the Splintered Path. There's a Unique Monster there that only comes out during storms. I don't remember it's name, but it's a nebula. When I fought it, it went over the edge of the path so only Sharla could hit it, except for Shulk when using Stream Edge. Every so often, it would use an attack that would blow us back. After about 5 minutes of this, I decided to try and lure it back over solid ground. It worked, and then we were all able to hit it. After a while of that, it used it's blowback attack again. It knocked Shulk (me) of the edge of the path and into the Endless Sea. I respawned at the Drainage Pipe, and before I could reach the Monster again, it had stopped raining and it had vanished.
Hey Chuggaaconroy I got Xenoblade thanks to this LP (I've been interested but this made me finally bite the bullet) I'm currently just a little bit behind you as of this video and I noticed something, monsters with an all black icon won't attack you monsters with a blue icon will attack you but most likely you'll be able to defeat them, monsters with a red icon will attack you if you set them off ( unless they have a normal monster icon which then it is entirely up to the player to engage the monster), now I'm just letting you know that this is something that I've noticed on my game but I have no idea if this is true for all people but I thought it was worth mentioning
(Added) Also the Bionis Leg is a bitch with all the leveled 70+ enemes I was wondering around when i got to an area called the Dark Shrine a giant Spider thing came out of nowhere and scared the freaking crap out of me killing me as soon as it attacked it wasn't a fun sight
The blue sign means much lower level than you. The red means RUN! THERE IS A LEVEL 108 BUNNIT AFTER YOU!
Stefan Reimann It's called the Despotic Arsene, by the way.
The color indicates the monster's level in respect to your own. Red monsters are much higher level than you while black monsters are lower level than you. It's because of the level difference. Blue monsters are slightly above you and green is between blue and red monsters. It's in the manual which is how I found out.
The color indicator is indeed in all games.
Black: No threat
Blue: Will engage, but manageable
Yellow: Manageable, but watch yourself
Red: Be careful here. Save specific Gem combos, you're probably outmatched.
Though I admit, using certain positioning exploits or Gem combos to beat Lv. 70 enemies is pretty satisfying.
papershadow69
You missed Grey: Same strength as you, be prepared for a fight.
This series fills me with happiness every time I see a new episode released and it's been a long time since that's happened with a Let's Play... This is honestly THE best LP I've ever watched and we're only 15 episodes in. Thank you, Chugga :)
What time is it? Adventure Time!! NO! IT'S REYN TIME!!
21:00 I love this cut scene :D Especially when Shulk slides and activates the Monado.
finally, some good old progress! The past few episodes have felt so boring with maybe one cutscene that's important to the story through all three of em. But there is more story in this one so I can stop being annoying about it and just enjoy.
15:39 I just, uhh... jumped. From that exact spot.I know this is 3 years old by now, but I just wanted to mention that lol
Who wishes app TH-cam had annotations so what he says about the annotations doesn't sound ironic?
tried to lure reyn and shulk off the cliff but the water wouldn't push them :( thank you definitive edition very cool
Hey Emile, I gotta say, bionis leg was really BOOT-iful! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! And we all gotta HAND it to monolith for this amazing land! You're rubbing off on me Emile, via let's play
Thinking up those jokes must have cost you an ARM and a LEG
wow, that pun must've been a HANDful
Dr. Seabear It was, but I KNEE-ded to make it.
Strawberry the Glaceon my god you 3 ahahhaha i don't find these jokes funny but there so bad hahahah but you cracked up
dominick DeSando We're just trying to stay aHEAD of the game.
Worlds with a large Adventurer demographic are fascinating places, shops in dangerous or out-of-the-way places, designer equipment, and you're able to dump chores on passersby as someone will take you up on the XP eventually.
Hey Chugga, I just wanted to point out that at around 7:49, the bar at the bottom says you need to kill 3 Yellow Antols instead of 4.
Thanks for pointing this out, I've annotated it.
chuggaaconroy Might want to fix 10:50 as well. It says Sharla comments in the dialogue, but it was Shulk that commented.
I just noticed chugga changes his profile icon according to the games he plays
Nopons are cute
umpa lumpa diggaty doo
this is the sewer that is perfect for u
shul KS problem is he doesn't tell his team his visions 😧
He sometimes isn’t sure so if he did he wouldn’t be sure anyway and besides, if he did that might pressure the group.
Kenny Vlogs yeah
The Ramen King yeah it is a problem. I like what the story does with this though.
And when he tries to warn them last second, they can't hear him
@@eliack95 Then again, if someone told you that you were going to die on your next mission, you'd definitely not be going there.
Yes! We finally got the introduction of Reyn's "Alley-oop!"
I just noticed, you're making the Nopon sound like docter Caminko's Aide. (Can anyone remind me of his name, it's a shame, I love playing that game)
chobin
Chobin
In the parenthesis. RHYME SCHEME!
Good to see someone else thinks that too.
Yes Chobin noticed that ;)
Played most of the game on the Wii; replaying it on the 3DS. Your Let's Play makes it even more fun then I can remember. Thanks for your comedy!
So is the Monado the only weapon Shulk can equip? or are there others that are rather redundant for him?
Monado is the only weapon Shulk can equip, but it does get stronger later on.
The Monado is essentially the only weapon Sulk could need, but don't forget that he started with the Junk Sword. He could have other weapons.
papershadow69
But realistically why would he use another weapon when he can use the ultimate weapon? :p
JustCommentOkay Well, it's not quite the ultimate weapon, as we've seen that it can't hurt the giant Gund- I mean Face Mechon.
Since I presume the Mechon just have stronger metal, Shulk and the others could beat the Faces by just using weapons made of stronger/similar material, rather than the Monado.
It's like in Pokemon. Earthquake beats almost everything, but it still helped to have something that could beat that one Pokemon Earthquake didn't deal with.
papershadow69
Well considering everything else is useless against the mechon, it is still the best weapon to use.
One thing that I'm not sure if you've pointed out specifically yet or not is that if you kill an enemy with a Chain Attack, it instantly fills up a block of your Party Gauge, meaning that you can pull off a second one right away if you manage to kill at least 3 enemies during one.
Preface: I am here to give another view of this game as someone who did not enjoy it. You can enjoy it all you want, but I did not enjoy it. Let me also say I am doing this to foster discussion. I am not going to spoil past this video, but I will discuss everything within this video. So if you don't want this video to be spoiled, avoid reading until the end.
Last Stand... The skill really bothered me. I ended up never using it for the reasons mentioned. I could never time it right because Reyn would get healed, and AI never used it to get back up. Luckily there are no shortage of arts to use.
And like Chugga also mentions, if you leave the area before finding the landmark at the end of the path, you have to run the entire length of the area a second time. And notice, Chugga fought like 1 enemy, so walking that entire way is pretty much a loading screen. Though the path gets a use for the second quest, but you still have to travel the entire distance.
And I think I forgot to mention this for the other weather based quest at Raguel Lake, but when getting rain to happen is a pain, the quest becomes dead weight. Chugga takes a long time to get it to rain both times. So if you aren't really patient, you're going to get a bit angry.
The detail in the world around you explains the draw distance so much. I didn't know about the Colony 9 thing, so it makes even more sense now.
Then we get some Platforming. The platforming in this game is really, really stiff. There is very little of it from my memory, but the few points that you need it aren't really that fun.
Oh, and Reyn taking control of the situation. Man he becomes awesome in addition to his great catchphrases.
Secret areas really aren't that secret sometimes... The Glowmoss area isn't that far off the beaten path.
Then we meet Otharon and get him as a Guest for a battle... I don't know if it was hardware limitations or removed because of all the other stuff they added like seeing super far away, but why does Otharon vanish? It is a hugely missed opportunity. Imagine having a few guests later in the game, and doing harder fights? Oh well.
And oh boy, Gadolt is gone or missing or something. Where is is, who knows? Another sad and touching scene... interrupted by another vision! Otharon will die, but at least they can stop it because Shulk is now telling people when he has a vision, right?... Right?... Ri-Why isn't is saying anything? Why did he lie to Reyn? WHAT THE HELL SHULK?! You've changed the future more than just once now! Why aren't you saying anything!
Jesus Christ this angered me so much. Just as I thought Shulk learned how to use his power, and tell his friends to be wary of things... at least partially, he goes back to saying nothing at all! Is he really that dense? Hell, even in the side-quest you mention the Nopon is going to die due to the Picture Book. SO WHY NOW?!
Sigh... Even if the gameplay was perfect, Shulk would still ruin everything.
Maybe Shulk is worried that telling someone that they'll die will stop them from doing what thy plan to do.
I don't wish to spoil what I mean but I'm pretty sure you know what I mean.
The cave for me was pretty painless I liked that an NPC tells you how to get through it made it feel more realistic.
The platforming never feels that terrible for me since the game is pretty forgiving death wise.
Lion Day Well Shulk does not know what anyone plans to do, he just sees them die. For all we know at this point, Otharon tries and fails to do something with his "Juju, Gadolt! This is for you!" The success of any and all actions is unknown. Telling him wouldn't stop him from doing it anyway, at most he might be a bit more careful. I mean, he and Gadolt are like the only ones who stayed behind.
That is also beside the point. Reyn isn't the one in danger. But Shulk lies to Reyn. You know how this ends up working out for Shulk.
You mean the Ether Mines?
The game might be forgiving death wise, but there is at least one example of platforming later on that is pure dumb, and sticks in my mind like a huge sore thumb, poking the issue of large, empty areas at the same time. Plus, how good the platforming is shouldn't be dictated by how forgiving death is. If you're dying a lot because you can't aim your jumps right, that makes the platforming bad, even if there is no penalty for death at all.
LostSoldier20
Preface I've just gotten done with the Fallen arm. So I haven't completed the game.
The only times I've ever died from platforming has been when I stupidly jumped on very small platforms, or on said platforms got knocked off by a monster.
So guess I don't find it all that hard.
Anyways you and me both know he's about to get a talking to about holding back when it comes to those vision things.
Lion Day That's kinda spoilerish to an area in the future.
The area I am thinking of is much later in the game, so I can't say where I'm thinking of, besides it is right before the "Act 2" of the game.
That's what I meant about it ending well for Shulk. Reyn thinks he's being stupid too.
LostSoldier20 That doesn't mean platforming is bad, that just means you are bad at it
1:48 Impossible. He died in the 5th book.
...no one is going to get that reference...
Fun fact about this game's title. Recently I've been forced to face my heated fear of the unknown so I decided to search the phobia name of "the fear of the unknown". It's called Xenophobia. The prefix "Xeno-" means strange, foreign, or unknown. How about taking that wisdom to the title, Xenoblade? Basically the title is another word for the Monado, or basically a sword made for something foreign. The Monado is the only thing besides attacking while toppled that can actually do damage to the Mechon. Oddly fitting right?
Yep. It's funny, because the game's title was planned to be "Monado: Beginning of the World" which isn't quite as meaningful. But the title "Xenoblade" has so many meanings if you could think about it hard enough.
diortem emirp That reminds me, when I was sifting through the save data on my Wii yesterday, I noticed two things.
1) The picture representing Xenoblade Chronicles' save data has my favorite party member on it.
2) The data was labeled "Xenoblade Chronicles: The beginning of the world". And it was capitalized that way.
Interesting that that subtitle is still in the game's data even though it was removed from the cover.
Finally after 3 days the series gets interesting again
i know, i understand you have to do quests to be more powered up but i just feel like they're ruining the story progress, i mean the storyline is whats always important at least in a game like this
Good thing I'm here.
No? Anyone?
Hey Chuggaconroy. I've never been into Let's plays before but you've got me hooked! I really love your sense of humor and your appreciation of this game. It's always a joy for me to watch you effortlessly go through this game. I really love it!
This game is so freaking good
So true Infected I am loving this game. I didn't watch the first few episodes i prefer seeing the game after the introduction part of it. Because those bits are slow as craaap in general and it can put people off the game to easy. ^^
Yeah man, I like the first few episodes cause you get to know the characters and stuff. =)
Hey I'm subbed to u !
OMG! What's up? Glad you like the content
i do like the content and nothings really up geez youtube has nothing to watch at 1200
For some reason when I glanced at the thumbnail I saw Samus, then realize I was way off.
that is one thing I really don't like about games like this, lines like
"Did you say something?"
"No its nothing"
Also you missed you chance with Fiora, the sounds she makes when she jumps is just hilarious.
Yeah, back when you get her in Tephra Cave I jumped with Fiora and was like "It sounded like she got stabbed in the gut."
An hour later.... "Oh I didn't mean- ..... dammit."
Just in case you don't know by now:
The Mechon in the mine did notice you actually. It ran away on purpose to lure the other Mechon to you which is why you got the aggro shortly after.
We should have a it's Reynolds time counter
Reyn time counter
I know this wasn't the intention but I put this on whenever my wife has trouble sleeping she likes your content so much that she often falls asleep to it and your voice is so calming it works
Ps this is her account
MOAR XENOBLADE
Nom nom nom!
not anyone famous ^^ lol
Wow, I never knew you could actually see Colony 9 from that area, thanks for showing that chuggaa, it's a very neat detail!
