Dunban put it perfectly. Zanza is the arrogance and ego of klaus, given form and power, while the architect is the regret and benevolence of klaus. Zanza made life on bionis to gorge himself and serve him, while the architect made life on alrest to repopulate the world and created blades to ensure humanity's survival. He also made an elysium for the people in the moments before his death, showing he was pure good.
What’s not shown is the offscreen band of zanza guardians letting it rip on the piano to play his theme, only to be beaten up and replaced by seven clones of alvis all in chorus for the last phase
Actually, Zanza is the Demiurge of Gnosticism in this situation. He's a false God too stupid to realize that he isn't actually God. Shulk and his group are actually Satan in this situation, as Satan in Gnosticism is seen as heroic, and fights for the sake of the Monad, the True God.
In that case Elvis is Lucifer. He gave Shulk the Power to fight against God. Zanza is more a God who always felt lonely and was consumed by fear to be betrayed from his creations
@@shirolp9053 If you stretch the parallels quite a bit. But no real God fears their creations nor could be destroyed, and lucifer appears as an angel of light. Far more similar to Zanza, if you look beneath the surface of status alone.
Zanza is based on the concept of the demiurge (also know as Yaldabaoth) from Gnosticism. A false God who sees himself as the true creator of the universe, while in reality that role belongs to the Monad (or Alvis in this case). Meyneth is also based on Sophia, one of the Monad's aeons who accidently created the Demiurge (represented in-game by Galea's failure in stopping Klaus from activating the Conduit). The relationship between the Demiurge and Sophia + The Monad in Gnostic thought is very similar to the relationship between Lucifer and God in Christianity so I get why some people will make the confusion.
@@da_radish_king NAME THEM. Kirby literally had just as much help if not more. Literally every Kirby game there's a new companion character that helps him in some way.

Since I’m dumb and thought riki was funny which he is I told my friend who told me to play the game I’m never getting rid of riki and I didn’t riki killed god
6:16 "Just as I have done many times before." What does he mean? He created Bionis only once. His other Half created Alrest. The end of this game even confirms that he only did this once before.
It might be more metaphorical, as in he'd simply killed off his lifeforms several times akin to recreating a world and its culture. Or maybe zanza just has a bad memory idk
Considering that Alvis is technically an unreliable narrator (we know he altered the memory of the experiment for whatever reason, be it due to being derived from Zanza's warped memory or simply his own choice), it could be that Zanza had done it multiple times and Alvis simply excluded those cases.
@@Jamieberigan Cool, I'm not alone. On my first playthrough years ago I mained that team on a whim. I did not regret it. I have continued to use them ever since although on one playthrough of the definitive edition I did swap Dunban with Fiora which was an equally powerful match up.

@@n-aera yeah they are??? XC3 is so held on "fighting the world" XC2 plot starts because Amalthus stopped caring for anything, and emphasizes that it's a cruel world often, and, though on a lesser scale, They want to stop the cycle of the world in XC1
That is the reason why humans woud never be a god maybe hi has a power of one but his heart is the same as an imperfect human... Arrogant and self-interested...
soooo... i haven't played the game but it seems like this dude is the creator and the characters don't like that he has decided to take his creations back? i see nothing wrong with this zanza dude, i mean this guy did create everything sooo...
Basically, Zanza's plan is to have the world in an endless cycle of death and recreation. Everyone gets killed, their life force used to power his body, and then he creates new life to restart the cycle. Whether Zanza has a right to doing this or not doesn't really matter, the characters kinda don't want that, regardless of what he has a right to do, so they decide to kill him to stop the cycle, claiming their own destiny so to speak.
I’m late but, Zanza created the universe and became a god and had the Monado. Mayneth also had a Monado. Zanza controls Bionis and Mayneth controls Mechonis. Arglas a giant, picks up Zanza’s Monado and gets controlled by him. Using Arglas, he tries to kill the people of Mechonis and enters a battle with Mayneth. You see this in the video. They both lost and weakened each other. Arglas gets taken away to Prison Island by the High Entia. The girl with wings (Melia) is a descendent and is also half hom (human). Zanza’s soul was in a tower with his Monado in a icey mountain. I expedition crew found the Monado and Zanza sucked the life out of them. He puts his soul in a kid named Shulk and a giant named Dickson working for Zanza takes him to colony 9. Dickson raised him. At the end of the game, Zanza returns , kills Mayneth and takes her Monado. Monados, can manipulate ether (kinda like matter) and allows a person to see the future. He then destroyed the Mechonis . He then transforms the pure High Entia into telethia. (You see them when Alvis talks to Shulk). After a few events, the party ends up in memory space, (think of this as Alvis Land). This is where the boss takes place. Basically, Klaus (Zanza) creates a world that he believes can only live through creating life and then destroying it for its ether. Think of this like the water cycle. His motivations get explored in 2 where we meet klaus’s other half (literary just half a human). I suggest you look at that cutscene. The entire games idea is destiny and how we can alter it with our actions. This is opposed to Zanza who thinks only gods should have this power. Alvis (basically the god of gods) gives Shulk the true Monado (basically the most powerful thing ever and the third and last real Monado) and let’s Shulk decide who this world belongs to. Remember, Zanza’s actions with creating this world was not needed (you can argue his intentions with XB2’s lore). He lead to many peoples deaths on Earth and I don’t think Shulk or the others owe him anyway. This is validated with the architect in 2 saying stuff like that. TLDR: play the game.
Play the game. You are missing out on an epic story. Only then, will you understand this cutscene and probably enjoy it more. This is clearly one of the best video games I’ve ever played and the story never gets old! It has everything you need to feel like you’re going out on an epic adventure contained with plot twists, foreshadowing, character development, etc.
@@TheUnorientedLeaf I love you explanation. I really liked how you used real life elements to compare the best you could with Xenoblade’s logic. Sure, they are very different and complex. But it goes to show how a video game world can be so close, but yet so far to the world that we live in. Of course, it’s all fiction, but that only inspires more imagination and further exploring of video game worlds that we come to love.
