"But that man. He'd lost everything. He no longer wanted anything. He didn't even want to *live* anymore. And despite that, his life was the one thing he hadn't lost! BECAUSE HE COULDN'T!"
That part hit me hard. Really gives you a feel for how the blades live, that living could be worse than death. I love Jin and his story, especially with the Torna dlc... feelsbadman
@@seandavis7561 Like, every sad moment. Most notably in chapter 3 when (spoilers) Vandahm sacrifices himself. or if you meant when does Malos say that, its like at the final boss.
Everyone talking about Jin when I have to also think about Mikhail. Especially after seeing what a small innocent child he was in Torna, then avenging his friends by destroying Indol. That scene BROKE me.
Subhan Mahmood It just feels so petty. We understand his motive, but well, he just sounds like a petulant child crying for his mommy, and after all the horrible things he did, I just can't let that fly.
I think that's kinda what the writers were going for, that Amalthus is still a child who never grew up. He still lives in a world where he thinks everything belongs to him and it confused why he doesn't get everything on a silver platter and others resist him. When he's talking to Zeke about killing people, he admits he is weak, and I think him crying for his mom accentuates that weakness.
Subhan Mahmood Oh I totally understand. I love the way he's written, even if I hate the character. It's a good contrast with Malos, who despite being more outwardly monstrous, was far more tragic and sympathetic.
"Urgh, what a stench. They let beggars roam free in this town? ...You. You're a Blade, aren't you? Where is your driver? Dead drunk in a ditch...? No, somehow I don't think that's it. ...The name's Malos. I'm the same as you."
Pouring one out for my man Jin. To me, he started off as little more than an edgy swordsman and ended up as one of my favorite characters in the entire series. What a splendid soul he was.
What I find most heartbreaking is that both Jin and Malos acted according to what they thought the other wanted. Malos showed Jin that there was a path, that there was something he could do with his life, so Jin wanted to destroy the world for Malos. Malos thought Jin was so dead set on destroying the world, and Amalthus made it so that he couldn’t do anything else if he wanted to, that he staked everything on destroying the world, even after Jin was dead. Because that’s what he thought Jin wanted.
Every time I played an rpg game, my favorite character dies. But Jin died pretty cool. I've never seen a game where one of the main antagonists kills a villian before dying.
Actually that would have been a way cooler plot. The torna gang slowly start losing their convictions, even Jin, until they're overcome by their own "humanity" which is what they were trying to destroy in the first place. Malos being the only non-human, is disgusted in them and lets them die.
I mean perhaps but it'd depend on the story. I'm not sure it'd work as it'd indicate that Malos only cared about a piece of them and not the whole thing and some of them were deeply scarred by their pasts. It's nice that Malos cared about them like true comrades and friends to the end.
Malos and Jin were looking for reasons to live as cursed beings, and eventually Rex gives them the answers. Amalthus lost his mother so he climbed all the way to the World Tree to question the god but still got no answer breaks him... The Architect sums up that human hasn't changed since he was born - they seek reasons after losing something.
_"What a splendid soul you were, Jin..."_ That line already made me sob, but after playing through the Torna DLC it just WRECKS me. Jin didn't deserve any of the things that happened to him. Nobody in Torna did.
@@wowzagh I wasn't expecting a full blown mental breakdown/system crash. All I could think of afterwards is that it didn't look like a conscious choice at all that she constructed prya--the way she told Rex made it seem like it was. Also I just realized when leaving fonsett, pyra's departure loosely mirrors the end of torna. Before, she leaves heartbroken beyond repair and no one says a word to her. I don't think Addam ever looks at her face-to-face again, and that avoidance reinforced her self loathing; if her own driver can't even look at her, she is despicable, an absolute monster. I think the greatest and most terrible plot twist would be if the thrashing she gave Rex after vandam dies is pretty much word for word what Addam might of said to her at some point.
_A wretched tale, isn't it? This whole world is a wretched place!_ _Exactly! That's exactly it! I'm a wretched being too! A hideous monster, far beyond saving!_ Those lines perfectly capture Malos's character, you can just hear his voice breaking in that last line. I get teary-eyed every time.
Exactly! When Rex tries to tell Malos that the reason he hates is because of Amalthus.. then he reveals the real reason is Jin's tragic story and the guilt he feels over the role he played in it. Thats how I kind of saw it anyway.
Yeah, when Malos calls himself "A hideous monster, far beyond saving!", to me, it sounds like a cry for help, as if Malos honestly *wants* you to defeat him, that deep down, he wishes he could have gotten to enjoy life the way Pneuma got to alongside Rex. And to me, this is confirmed with something Malos says as he's dying: "If only I'd met you sooner, just think of all the worlds I might have seen." That exchange before and after the battle with Aion to me makes Malos into one of the saddest characters in the game, where it's pretty clear that Malos honestly doesn't *want* to destroy the world, but thanks to Amalthus, he doesn't know how to do anything other than to destroy.
"Jin, why didn't you kill me when I joined Rex and the others?" "It wasnt a mistake right? Becoming the blade of someone you trust' "Jin." "I did that too once. Rex you have to stop malos he is still searching for his identidy, Tell him your answer."
@@magmadude_ Exactly, that's exactly it! You've gotten smarter with age, huh? Im a wretched being too, a hideous monster, far beyond saving! So, let's end this now.
"Don't you even know what you've done?!" *cue Mikhail suddenly using the Marsanes as a shield to protect the group as Rex and Co. prepare for the shot from Indol to hit them. After the explosion fades away, everyone looks up to see the Marsanes in front of them as Nia gasps* "Wh-why?" "What are you hanging around here for? Go!" "That voice...Mik? That you?" "You're chasing Jin and Malos, right? I said go!" "Why would you-" "Beats me. I don't even know anymore." "Mikhail...?" "I really hate this world. Like, really. And humans most of all." "You used to BE human!" *Mikhail simply waves his finger as if gesturing that there's more to what he means* "But you know what? There were people I loved, once." *a flashback of Mikhail's past 500 years ago plays and ends* "When I look at you guys, it reminds me of them. I wonder... If the people I loved were still around, would things be...different? I wonder that, and I start doubting myself." "Mikhail..." "It's Rex, right?" "Yeah..." "Have you found your answer?" "I have, and it's pretty spectacular." "I see. Well then... I'll leave Jin to you. Now go! Get after him already! Tell him your answer!" *Rex and Co. take off towards Jin and Malos who are already inside the World Tree as Mikhail makes the Marsanes turn around to face Indol in order to end the battle* "Hm." *Indol's firepower continues to strike and damage the Marsanes as it charges at the Titan* "Amalthus… Time to end this! *The Marsanes grabs Indol by the neck and spins it around before letting the Titan crash into the World Tree heavily damaging it* "Uwaagh!" *makes the Marsanes rush towards the heavily damaged Titan fist forwards* "Fool. Who do you take me for?!" *Indol prepares to release one last desperate blast at the rushing Marsanes as the camera shows Lora's body and Mikhail's determined expression before showing another flashback of how he (Mikhail) met Lora and Jin 500 years ago* *Lora looks at the young Mikhail with a warm, caring smile* "What happened? Are you alone?" "Looks like the only survivor. *Jin turns his head to look at the scene* These burn patterns don't look like Malos's handiwork. Must've been humans... Looting and pillaging while the world burns." "Hey, it's ok. Would you like to come with us?" *Mikhail looks up at Lora* "You don't have to worry, really. We're all good people, promise." "Can you walk?" *Mikhail simply nods his head saying 'yes'* "You can. Good going." *flashback ends with Mikhail now traveling with Lora and Jin* "Forgive us, Jin. We're going on ahead." *Indol's shot makes contact with the Marsanes destroying it and those onboard while the resulting explosion also causes the already heavily crippled Titan to go down in ruins as it starts to sink into the Cloud Sea as it too gets destroyed* *Akhos and Patroka stop in their rush to regroup with Jin and Malos as they turn around upon hearing the explosion, Patroka giving a saddened reaction to realizing what just happened while Akhos puts his head down out of respect for Mikhail's sacrifice* "Ah... Mikhail.."
I think Zeke was referencing when Amalthus said "A Long time ago, I seem to recall seeing a very similar scene" as his explanation as to why he saved Zeke. So Zeke realized that Amalthus was talking about himself back then.
"But that man, he lost everything! He no longer wanted anything. He didn't even want to live anymore. And despite that, his life was the one thing he hadn't lost. BECAUSE HE COULDN'T". My god this game had me in tears ;-; Thank you Monolithsoft for this grand experience :)
Mega Mawile Chapters 1 - 7 had their good moments. These are my favorite things from each chapter Chapter 1- Rex's old lifestyle Chapter 2- Meeting Tora, and fighting Mòrag.

@@heropontorchic1979 Your "gameplay is terrible" argument actually solidifies why "the fear she carries" is my favorite chapter in the game, aside from the last one. You are pushed to your limits and are forced to exceed them, putting all your combat skills to the test and enduring 2 long and hard dungeons, uncovering more about your party members and revealing their internal struggles along the way. making it through difficult challenges and surviving onslaughts of powerful bosses with the team you've spent all this time getting to know, and when you finally awaken Pneuma and flatten Jin and Malos, the satisfaction is immeasurable. Edit: My favorite moments in every chapter: Encounters; Rex & Pyra's resonance / Pyra's duel with Malos Aptitude; Rex's mid-battle speech to Morag / The campfire scene Our Own War; We've all got our own war / Exit Vandham, Enter Mythra Aegis; Salvager's code rule 3 / Tora reunites with his father Masters & Slaves; Pyra and Corrine / Jin mercy-kills Haze Wounds; Pyra's rescue / The ending bargain The Fear She Carries; (These are obvious) Nia's reveal / Pyra/Mythra reawakens The Golden Country; Lora & Jin's cute scene in Hyber Village / Mythra's breakdown World Tree; Jin's backstory & Torna's truth / The deal of being me Rain; Mikhail & Jin vs Amalthus / Zeke's question And thus, Boy met girl; Words can be a curse / End Credits scene
I didn't know what I was getting into when I picked up xenoblade 2 (being a fan of the first game). At first I expected nothing but memes and tig biddies, but man I was wrong. This is the most emotional Xenoblade game in my opinion. It's very hard to make me cry ; ;
Yeah, that's what both games are. They look like memes & seiddit gib on the surface, but if you actually play the game, you'll see the MANY awesome things about them.
@@yeeterberry8201 Its cause there's a lot of small things that just bug me, whether it be some inconsistency with the story, the dumb character designs, the voice acting, and other small things that just pile up, making the game less enjoyable. I disagree with the notion that it's the most emotional, mainly cause a lot of the emotional things I personally saw coming, or things that I didn't think made sense. There was just a lot of missed potential in this game that I wish they could have done.
@@kingofcheshire Aight I dont agree here at all. I first played DE and the plot wasnt really spoiled as most of the major twists were foreshadowed via dialogue. The visions gave you enough of an idea to know where the plot was going but not enough to spoil. We didnt know of the other Faces or the really big endgame twist until those arrived naturally. Im not biased to Xenoblade 1, I may even prefer 2 to it upon replay value and 1 has its own issues (like its inability to write females), but the visions are not one of those issues
okay I've literally replayed the game just to kick amalthus' ass but ending his arc and life with that shot of his mother could not have been done any better. good god
Every single time I come here, I don't see only fans of Xenoblade, I see a community, those games gave us a lot, and got us near, I love this channel for this.... Everyone, thanks, I hope that somebody will read it
Games are a wonderful way for people to get closer, also the Xenoblade series got me to enjoy a lot more the true meaning behind the simple word "journey"
The whole Xenoblade series has always been there during some of the toughest times of my life, and knowing that the community is just as special is just so nice
"If that's the case then Why not let people do whatever?" "To remind myself" "i must never forget what type of beings humans are" "Is that what helping me was too?" "a long time ago... i seemed to recall a very similar scene." "Perhaps that too was one face of humanity." This whole amalthus scene made me tear up, inside and out. It is one of my favorite scenes in the whole game.
I think Amalthus saving Zeke was probably the last moment of his heart crying out, begging to be heard. The similarities to Zeke's circumstances and his own were so strong that he, for a brief moment, felt human again. It's sad to think that, out of everybody in the world, Zeke was the only one who could have possibly gotten through to Amalthus.
@@luminozero I feel like, given enough time, Rex might have been able to manage it as well with his nearly unshakable optimism....which combined with Zeke being older and wiser might have actually had a genuine chance of getting through to Amalthus. But yeah, Amalthus saving Zeke was likely the "last gasp" for the part of Amalthus that still had some amount of hope for humanity....which is why Amalthus not only saved Zeke, but kept him around and gave him work to do.
"It fell," says the girl who sank it! I thought Jin didn't actually mean she literally sank Torna herself. I thought he was just blaming her because they (Malos and Mythra) both fought until it ultimately sank due to Malos, but since Malos "has the right of it" of what a shitty world they live in and wanting to destroy it all, he suddenly is forgiven and she's blamed for the whole thing afterwards. Like Malos didn't totally antagonize her into fighting him one-on-one, or anything. He knew _exactly_ how to push her buttons and make her do what he really wanted.
Same with how distressed Mythra was when Malos attacked Torna I think it was and when she saw Milton's body. Her emotionless look when Malos fell was a ton to look at.
@n o o p I think that's why he agreed to a ceasefire after Rex helped him and why he told Akhos and Patroka not to attack them when they found Jin again.
"Just go, Rex! Remember to FIGHT! YOUR! WAR!!!" "But, you know? There were people I loved, once." "Why did you look so sad back then? ...It was you, too, wasn't it?" "Father, why do you not answer when I call...? Mother... I've missed you..." "His life was the only thing he hadn't lost. Because he couldn't!" "I'm a wretched being, too! A hideous monster, far beyond saving!"
To quote one of my best friends "Came for the waifus, stayed for Jin." Jin is a character whose well written nature is only rivaled by greats like Egil. He's one of the best characters in Xenoblade 2
So much for keeping it together. As soon as the melody kicked in, I was reminded of Desmond. I miss the hell out of you, Etika. I'll come back to this whenever I need to feel your energy.
I came here just now because I was thinking of Etika, damn, it feels so unreal that he is gone. Be happy for the times we had him man, guy was amazing. There will never be another Etika, but we at least got one.
I recently started watching through his XB2 series not having any clue of what had happened to him since i didn't read any of the comments until the very last video of the series and was utterly crushed when i found out.... "What a splendid soul you were, Desmond"
"Exactly, that's exactly it! You've gotten smarter with age, huh!? I'm a wretched being too... A hideous monster, far beyond saving! So... _Let's end this now."_ "Don't you feel anything!? Father's sadness, the world he longed for?" "How could I!? *That isn't... my role in this world..."* This. This exchange captures Malos perfectly. He voice cracks when it rises, and when he says that final line about his role... You can tell from his facial expression that he's not exactly ecstatic about it. It's part of why Malos is my favorite character of all time.
Of all the character deaths that this scene plays on, there's one that impacted me the most... ... ... ...Spoilers, obviously... ...was Amalthus. If Amalthus's mother hadn't been killed, NONE of the events in this game would've taken place. 1) Malos would've never been awakened by him, which would mean that Amalthus's grievance would've never rubbed off on Malos, which was what originally led him to want to destroy the world. 2) Lora would've never been killed and Jin would've never sided with Malos because of both this and the former reason. 3) Because Torna was never formed, Ahkos, Patroka, Mikhail, and Jin would've all lived. Ahkos and Patroka would've never had their cores stolen by Amalthus, Mikhail would've never performed the Suicide Strike on Indol, and Jin would've never sacrificed himself. 4) The Titans would've likely never died out. Titans form due to Blades becoming old and gradually evolving into Titans. Because Amalthus was constantly absorbing Core Crystals, Blades were never able to transform into Titans, causing the land to slowly disappear.
Amalthus seems so simple at first, with people thinking he was just mad his mother died, but it’s more than that. With how Alrest is, Amalthus searched for answers as to why the world was the way it was. What was his purpose in an inherently flawed world. He thought he could get an answer from the Architect, until he only found the Aegis cores. At this point, he had little hope left in the world and these beliefs carried on to Malos, programming him to be the way he was. “When people lose something, they cannot help but seek a reason why.” Amalthus never found out why in his whole life, which makes him one of the most tragic villains I’ve seen.
“Though we were destined to follow different paths, I tried to walk together. I walked in the shadow of the Aegis’s light.Blindly walking my own path, while she walked alone.” -Rex
@@JamaicaZ160R1793010A I think it has to do with Rex using Pyra for his own ends kind of like Pyra was using him to get to Elysium. Rex was seeking salvation so enthusiastically, not knowing Pyra's reasons for going. Their destination was the same but their goals/motivations couldn't be more different. Sure, Rex accepts and supports Pyra from the outset of the game, but he doesn't really take in the gravity of that means for Mythra until after he has lost them. Pyra cares for Rex but isn't able to completely let him into her heart until seeing just how hard he's willing to work for her dreams. Pyra and Mythra think the world would be better without them, and think that unburdening Rex with their strife will fix everything. Rex kind of just assumed Pyra wants to go home and is being helpful, until he sees that there's more to the situation. Similar to the sacrifice at the end of the game, this is such a subtle change in the character that it goes almost unseen, but under the surface it's ENORMOUS growth/development.
HA! CRUSH US? ME AND JIN? You couldn't take jin on your own! And on top of that, Ive regained control of ALL my Aegis powers, not to mention the artifices! You're doomed, Boy.
The saddest part about Amalthus is how he cried out for the architect as he's dying, how he's lost to religious delusions, that combined with his hatred for the world. His talk about the faces of humanity, and Zeke's line about how "That was... you too wasn't it" shows what makes us human not our greed but our emotional or sides of humanity. "As soon as people are denied something they desire they try to take it by force" Rex took the power to protect by force, through his resolve and growth as a person. And Zeke talking about how sad he looked back then makes me realize he's just a sad child grieving over his Mom maybe if he had a friend like Rex things would have been different if he had someone there for him maybe he would have coped with that loss better. And the way he says he misses his mother shows how he really is just a sad child lashing out of grief. Rex is what Amalthus could have been he too lost people but he didn't let that stop him from living his life. Along with the loss of his mother and the divine power brought my Malos that gave him delusions of grandeur, it turned him into the villain he became. Rex coped with his loss probably because of the villages and gramps. When he met Pyra and later Mythra the power given to him was incredible but he didn't think himself as some god he was still a boy with much to learn. He cared about people he never wanted to hurt anyone he just wanted to help everyone, he was greedy but his will and his friends allowed him to achieve his goal. Not just Pyra and Mythra but the whole group Nia, Dromarch, Tora, Poppi and the others helped him grow and become not just grow as a driver but as a person. The scene where everyone is hitting Rex shows how much they care for him. The group you form in the game are people who truly care about each other. They comfort each other in their times of need and motivate each other when they need it most. It's because of his friends that Rex made it this far, and maybe if Amalthus had friends like that things would have been different.
Rex didn't technically take the power to protect by force if you're talking about Pyra/Mythra. Pyra sympathized with Rex after he was literally backstabbed by Jin back in Chapter 1 and his motivation to help her reach Elysium (where he wanted to visit too) synced with her dream of going there. Pyra gave 'half' of her Core Crystal to Rex to save his life, Rex had no say in it. Until Mythra came into the picture, Rex was rather naïve in a lot of scenarios where thinking better would have saved him from getting into more danger even if he had a few good reasons for why he did what he did. After Mythra adjusted to Rex's overly optimistic personality (she's still somewhat annoyed by it even after she absolutely loves him), Rex acts a bit more strategic as just talking isn't enough (something he always does a lot of) and questions some of his friends antics such as Mythra using her powers inside the factory. His combat skills with Mythra are greatly improved and even if he lost in Round 2, he did pretty well in dodging and parrying Jin's attacks even if his physical body couldn't keep up with Mythra's Foresight due to Jin's Lightspeed movement. Addam's spirit tells Rex that if he/Rex really wants to help the Aegis unlock her true power and become her Driver, Rex must first be able to shoulder the darkness and fear she has to live with. Addam's failure 500 years ago came from his relationship aspect with Mythra, treating her closer to a younger sister and not someone who is an equal or greater (which is what Rex views all of his friends as.) When Rex offered to be by Pyra and Mythra's side and to help them overcome their fears and allow them to move on with life, he asked them a single question. It was a test of morality that even he had to accept. He didn't take the power of the Aegis by force, up until Chapter 7, it was forced on him ever since Chapter 1. In Chapter 7, Pyra and Mythra could have declined Rex's question and offer and he wouldn't have been able to resonate with either of them anymore. Rex knows there are standards and his friends were there to remind him that the world doesn't just revolve around himself. His inner fears in Chapter 10 highlighted this. Whereas Amalthus due to his dark and troubled past takes what he sees he needs from others by force shortly after the Aegis War. Amalthus wasn't the most sane of a person even when he was older, out of curiosity he climbed the World Tree and after seeing what was 'inside' he fled after obtaining two of the three Aegis Core Crystals (Alvis fled long before the story took place for unknown reasons.) He first resonated with Malos but Amalthus's hatred for humanity (his inner demon/darkness) corrupted the latter to where Malso became inclined to do just that even after parting ways with Amalthus upon regaining full control of himself. It was at this point that Amalthus realized he seriously screwed up with thinking he could properly control an Aegis and after Malos told him to the face that he/Amalthus knows that it's impossible for him (Amalthus again) to control an Aegis, Amalthus comes to admit he needs to find someone who can actually control an Aegis so he looks for one and sends that person after Malos. Following the Aegis War, Amalthus realizes that the Aegis are far too destructive so he begins to seek and destroy all Tornan survivors (he's nearly 100% successful) and this just makes Jin's life even more miserable as Lora ends up dying to save her Blade's life. In the main game, Amalthus acts nice and understanding but his ambitions hold a much darker secret and Mythra picks up on this and Malos isn't stupid enough to believe that she would yield to a scumbag like Amalthus (he tells this to Patroka.) When Rex and his friends encounter Amalthus and Indol fighting the Tornan Crew, Amalthus starts showing his inner demons as he shows he's no better than those around him by using Hazes power which he forcibly obtained by cutting her Core Crystal in HALF and using Amp Towers to control every non-Flesh Eater/Blade Eater (Malos was unaffected despite Mythra being influenced partially thanks to resisting) and Titan (Gramps was resisting as well) within his range of power. When Mythra refused to use her full power for the second time under his influence, Amalthus' attitude reveals that he absoltely HATES it when anyone defies his orders as he claims he's an agent of the Architect despite that only being a self-proclaimed title that he calls himself. When Amalthus in his 'Blade Eater' form appears in front of everyone inside the World Tree, Rex, Zeke and Pandoria rightly call the former out for trying to force others to obey him which makes the 'Praetor' nothing more of a tyrant who refuses to change his personality and lifestyle and hates change. Amalthus then states that he refuses to change at all (his way of life and actions) and anyone who tries to change themselves or others are nothing but fools and that if he did do so, he'd lose everything in his life. Zeke, who has had enough calls Amalthus the biggest fool and the weakest of the weak for being unable to accept life the way it is and not moving on. Even if Amalthus had friends, it would do him no good as he absolutely refuses to see any other way of living as obsolete. In the flashback of him talking to Zeke, he admits that he deep down hates the entire world of Alrest and Rex even lampshades it when he and his friends were ascending in the World Tree that Amalthus must really hate the world which is why he (and to the extent, Malos) are so inclined on wiping everyone and everything out of existence.
@@bitrel07 Rex didn’t exactly take the power by force, he accepted the power even though he knew once he didn’t there would be no turning back. It was his resolve and desire to protect his friends that allowed him to take it. At any point Rex could’ve given up when things got tough he never really had to help Pyra and the many times that she was kidnapped he could’ve given up. When Jin beat him and took Pyra Rex almost gave up but his friends dragged him out of his depressive state and it gave him the resolve he needed to get stronger. He was able to face Jin a second time without the power of the Aegis due to his resolve and belief that he needed to protect Pyra even if he had no chance at all of winning. It’s true he had Nia in her blade form and the healing would give him some confidence but it doesn’t even compare to the power of the Pyra and Mythra. In terms of offensive power Nia isn’t exactly a top tier blade, she’s not weak either but that’s a fair price as she has incredible healing powers. That alone wouldn’t be enough to beat torna though, Rex probably wasn’t even sure if he’d survive another fight against Jin but he still tried because he had to. In the end he didn’t take the final sword by force but instead he accepted the power of the true Aegis because it was the only way he could defeat torna and protect the ones he cares about.
"stupid, I was stupid, when I became pyra's driver, I thought I was able to do everything, to walk with her, but I didn't. I walked in the shadow of the aegis while she was walking alone.... but I made a decision..."
_Poppi could not possibly!!..._ _Remember, you promised?_ _That below belt...._ This is my favorite/saddest scene with this OST just because of how much heartbreak Poppi's VA was able to convey with her voice
This song makes grown men cry. With or without the context, it just generates emotional atmosphere. They hit the nail on the head with these tear jerking tracks.
I've only cried at two Media Franchises, Gravity Falls and this, this game is my favorite game of all time, I love these characters, I love the interactions, Gameplay, direction of the camera. I just love this game, while I could just say it's perfect, it isn't, and I know that, but as long as I have fun, it doesn't matter, now who wants to replay this game again and do a Bringer of Chaos Run.
"I dont give a damn what you think brat! So blades become titans and titams give life to Blades. Honestly who even gives a damn? They can become whatever they want. But that man, hed lost everything. He no longer wanted to live anymore but despite that, his life was the one thing he hadnt lost. Because he couldnt't!! Words can be a curse. It was that curse that kept him tied down here. A wretched tale isnt it. This whole world is a wretched place!"
Exactly! That's exactly it! You 've gotten smarter with age uh? I'm a wretched being too! A hideous monster, far beyond saving! ...So let's end this now.
@@xynix1549 Jin. Malos's whole point is that the world and human society are so terrible, the suffering so great that it would be better to just destroy it all. Jin embodied that, as he saw how crushed he was by what happened to him.
I have to address something that I feel everyone had in their minds at one point I dont know if its because of xenoblade popularity compared to other nintendo series but xenoblade 2's Ost is so underrated it truly had the best soundtrack in 2017 hands down and its kind of sad not a lot of people want to play the game because of its graphics or English voice acting because the music really does cover it up Well that's my 2 cents
@@ldragodestroy4 Even then, it honestly feels like Rex's screams tend to get better as the game goes on, as if the VA was gradually but slowling learning.
The voice acting in this game is waaaaay better than XC1. The anime art style and abundence of fanservice is really the only things I don't like about the game.
*But that man... he'd lost everything. He no longer wanted anything. He didn't even want to live anymore. Yet his life was the one thing he hadn't lost.... because he couldn't!!!!*
@Therealchris929 Lol Yeah. Moments like when he has one last moment to connect with Haze after Jin fatally wounds her helps to show that while he's an antagonist, Jin is by no means heartless. Seeing Jin react to Haze's dying smile was hard, especially once you realize that Haze looked so much like Lora and just how painful that must have been for Jin to see "Lora" die in front of him for a second time....let alone the fact that he and Haze used to have the same Driver....
Time to throw my quote in the ring. "Our nation...our people..." As a once great leader watches his nation crumble and die, he doesn't flee. No, he goes down as any good leader would...down with the ship.
1,000,000 beautiful views to support one of the greatest story tellings I've seen in a while. Xenoblade Chronicles 2 came to me in my lowest of lows. Where my anxiety was crushing my very soul. Debt kept piling up, pain wouldn't go away. But it's like God himself told me to enjoy this masterpiece of fictional work. And when i got to this section of the game, it felt like a piece of lost humanity inside me had been restored. I cried in this scene, i whimpered at the passing, i understood what it was this lost soul tried to do. It's no different from what we do in the day to day and sometimes we forget we 1,000,000 views of this video can change just by asking how someone's day is going, and how they're feeling. I'm sure things would have played out much better for poor almalthus if he opened his heart again. He gave up. And i can scarcely blame him.
For me, Xenoblade Chronicles 2 has a special place in my hear not only for its OST, but its story, and especially resonating a lot with Jin. During that point of my life, I was in a very dark place; I lost touch with basically all my friends, suffered a lot when a girl broke my heart badly, exposed to how bad this world truly can be, and realized how a lot of people really don't care when push comes to shove, all within a span of several months mind you. When I played this game when it came out 6 years ago, Chapter 6 and onwards was an emotional rollercoaster since I could relate to the melancholy of the cast. From how the story portrays Amalthus, I feel like Amalthus was so traumatized from his mother getting killed, he never truly recovered from it and him not moving on from that leads him to the path he walked. The funny thing is him saving Zeke shows Amalthus didn't completely gave up on everything, because if Amalthus really had zero hope in humanity, Zeke would have died. I don't know if this is me reading too much into it, but when Amalthus cried out "he did everything" and devastated from thinking the Architect watched Amalthus die with indifference, it really shows Amalthus didn't realize he was never alone, but his trauma prevented him from seeing that.
@@wiseman1436they say children losing their family very young is the most traumatizing event in their lives. Amalthus is evidence of such agony. But you could tell he tried to move on helping that man who in trend killed an entire family. It was cruel what amalthus witnessed. It honestly must have hurt him beyond words. Helping a criminal doing horrible things without knowing. In some day, he must have internally blamed himself
This game made it clear to me that there is no reason to be afraid of fear. I will no longer let fear control me and believe in myself. I can accomplish things because I am valuable and my life is valuable. i know im capable. believe in yourself people. never never let you control by negative people
I remember first playing the series and starting TGC, also without knowing people dice in this game.... I was so empty inside in the last hour... He was such a good soul, protecting everyone till the en :( And then, seeing how everyone ended when I started XB2, I was so heartbroken
Rest In Peace Etika. I know how much you loved this game, and now every time I listen to this song I think of you. You were an inspiration, truly a wonder to our world. A man of respect and generosity, a good, genuine human being. Though you might not be with us anymore, your legacy and message lives on. Thank you for the countless hours of entertainment and laughs. Thank you for cheering me up when I was down. Thank you for the community that you yourself brought up. I think I speak for many when I say, I am and always will be, a joyconboy.
What a splendid soul you were indeed. What hurts most is that so many people love you and wanted nothing but the best for you, but depression makes you feel like you're all alone and there's no hope. It's not true. There are so many people who cared about you and it's never too late to turn things around. Everyone who struggles with these issues needs to know that.
HeavyLobster43 Sometimes I wonder what his thoughts were before and during the jump. What would he think of all the people who are sad because of his death? Would he have not done it if he knew just how many would’ve mourned? Godspeed Etika, you’re in a better place now. Let Etika be an example to the world on how serious mental illness is. Do not let this go without change
For anyone wondering, the piano version of this is "Desolation", track 26. I love it!

You should listen to the SiivaGunner/Nintendo Power version. It hits so hard, I swear I'm not being sarcastic or anything.
I’ve been listening to both of these songs for over a year and never realised they were the same

"But that man. He'd lost everything. He no longer wanted anything. He didn't even want to *live* anymore. And despite that, his life was the one thing he hadn't lost! BECAUSE HE COULDN'T!"
Boi when Malos shouted that gave me chills
None of them were really evil on the inside
That part hit me hard. Really gives you a feel for how the blades live, that living could be worse than death. I love Jin and his story, especially with the Torna dlc... feelsbadman

@@seandavis7561 Like, every sad moment. Most notably in chapter 3 when
(spoilers)
Vandahm sacrifices himself.
or if you meant when does Malos say that, its like at the final boss.
What a splendid soul you were, Jin…
Everyone talking about Jin when I have to also think about Mikhail. Especially after seeing what a small innocent child he was in Torna, then avenging his friends by destroying Indol. That scene BROKE me.
Same yo
Mikhail was always more like able to me than Akhos and Patroka, even before Mikhail’s reveal as a Tornan refugee who became a blade eater.

"O father, why do you not answer when I call?..... Mother, I've missed you..."
Beelzebub This made me hate Amalthus more.
Why? Yeah, he sucks and is a horrible person; but it all stems from having his mom murdered. At least understand what he went through.
Subhan Mahmood It just feels so petty. We understand his motive, but well, he just sounds like a petulant child crying for his mommy, and after all the horrible things he did, I just can't let that fly.
I think that's kinda what the writers were going for, that Amalthus is still a child who never grew up. He still lives in a world where he thinks everything belongs to him and it confused why he doesn't get everything on a silver platter and others resist him. When he's talking to Zeke about killing people, he admits he is weak, and I think him crying for his mom accentuates that weakness.
Subhan Mahmood Oh I totally understand. I love the way he's written, even if I hate the character. It's a good contrast with Malos, who despite being more outwardly monstrous, was far more tragic and sympathetic.
"Urgh, what a stench. They let beggars roam free in this town?
...You. You're a Blade, aren't you?
Where is your driver?
Dead drunk in a ditch...? No, somehow I don't think that's it.
...The name's Malos.
I'm the same as you."
SquirtleMaster "I don’t wish for 'forever.' Even just for one moment, it’s enough if it’s with her." from the expansion is my personal favourite.

@@shotglass9974 I wonder if he remembers Lora in that cutscene.
You may never hide from me... I will find you across TH-cam
Pouring one out for my man Jin. To me, he started off as little more than an edgy swordsman and ended up as one of my favorite characters in the entire series.
What a splendid soul he was.
KinglyRed Can't fucking wait to see more about him in the DLC
cabbage scented candle same
Oh Jin you didn’t deserve the things that happened to you
;-;
I totally didn’t buy the season pass just for all the extra Jin playtime
What I find most heartbreaking is that both Jin and Malos acted according to what they thought the other wanted. Malos showed Jin that there was a path, that there was something he could do with his life, so Jin wanted to destroy the world for Malos. Malos thought Jin was so dead set on destroying the world, and Amalthus made it so that he couldn’t do anything else if he wanted to, that he staked everything on destroying the world, even after Jin was dead. Because that’s what he thought Jin wanted.
Incredible comment! This is sadly very true.... 😔
I actually wonder what if rex bonded with malos instead of mythra like seriously imagine the possibility
What a splendid soul you were, Jin...
Jin...
*Crying Intensifies*
LucasXD I’m so sad for him
hearing those lines hurt man, damn
Every time I played an rpg game, my favorite character dies. But Jin died pretty cool. I've never seen a game where one of the main antagonists kills a villian before dying.
Dang, hearing those words... even thinking about those words...it's like one heart being ripped in two... ;_;
At least wherever Jin is now, he's with Lora and Ornelia again.
“Akhos is dead you bastard! So is Patroka. And Jin.”
“Figured as much.”
"Is that all?" She clearly seemed disgusted that he spoke like he didn't care one bit about them.
Actually that would have been a way cooler plot. The torna gang slowly start losing their convictions, even Jin, until they're overcome by their own "humanity" which is what they were trying to destroy in the first place. Malos being the only non-human, is disgusted in them and lets them die.
I mean perhaps but it'd depend on the story. I'm not sure it'd work as it'd indicate that Malos only cared about a piece of them and not the whole thing and some of them were deeply scarred by their pasts. It's nice that Malos cared about them like true comrades and friends to the end.
Malos and Jin were looking for reasons to live as cursed beings, and eventually Rex gives them the answers.
Amalthus lost his mother so he climbed all the way to the World Tree to question the god but still got no answer breaks him...
The Architect sums up that human hasn't changed since he was born - they seek reasons after losing something.
_"What a splendid soul you were, Jin..."_
That line already made me sob, but after playing through the Torna DLC it just WRECKS me. Jin didn't deserve any of the things that happened to him. Nobody in Torna did.
Jin is the best character
yes they did
@@TheJbrown60 did Mikhail deserve that after he saw his people die out twice and get experimented on by bitchmalthus

What a splendid soul you were, indeed.
Our Duty has been passed down, Amalthus!
everyone talking about amalthus but mythra in the ending omg i cried
@@wowzagh I wasn't expecting a full blown mental breakdown/system crash. All I could think of afterwards is that it didn't look like a conscious choice at all that she constructed prya--the way she told Rex made it seem like it was. Also I just realized when leaving fonsett, pyra's departure loosely mirrors the end of torna. Before, she leaves heartbroken beyond repair and no one says a word to her. I don't think Addam ever looks at her face-to-face again, and that avoidance reinforced her self loathing; if her own driver can't even look at her, she is despicable, an absolute monster. I think the greatest and most terrible plot twist would be if the thrashing she gave Rex after vandam dies is pretty much word for word what Addam might of said to her at some point.
"Mother, I've...missed you..."
_A wretched tale, isn't it? This whole world is a wretched place!_
_Exactly! That's exactly it! I'm a wretched being too! A hideous monster, far beyond saving!_
Those lines perfectly capture Malos's character, you can just hear his voice breaking in that last line. I get teary-eyed every time.
Exactly! When Rex tries to tell Malos that the reason he hates is because of Amalthus.. then he reveals the real reason is Jin's tragic story and the guilt he feels over the role he played in it. Thats how I kind of saw it anyway.
Winged Valkyrie The writing in this game is pure gold
_But remember, you too, are a part of this world!_
This line is supposed to be in between the two above
Yeah, when Malos calls himself "A hideous monster, far beyond saving!", to me, it sounds like a cry for help, as if Malos honestly *wants* you to defeat him, that deep down, he wishes he could have gotten to enjoy life the way Pneuma got to alongside Rex. And to me, this is confirmed with something Malos says as he's dying: "If only I'd met you sooner, just think of all the worlds I might have seen."
That exchange before and after the battle with Aion to me makes Malos into one of the saddest characters in the game, where it's pretty clear that Malos honestly doesn't *want* to destroy the world, but thanks to Amalthus, he doesn't know how to do anything other than to destroy.
gamester512 yeah... we'll see him again eventually...hopefully a DLC blade of him.
Seeing Rex break down into tears after Vandham's death was legitimately heartbreaking.
I cried a bit while seeing that

Indeed words a curse. If only Lora didn't force Jin to never forget her. Jin wanted to die, but he cant because he wants to keep his promise to Lora.
"Don't you even know what you've done?!"

"That voice...Mik? That you?"
"You're chasing Jin and Malos, right? I said go!"
"Why would you-"
"Beats me. I don't even know anymore."
"Mikhail...?"
"I really hate this world. Like, really. And humans most of all."
"You used to BE human!"

*a flashback of Mikhail's past 500 years ago plays and ends* "When I look at you guys, it reminds me of them. I wonder... If the people I loved were still around, would things be...different? I wonder that, and I start doubting myself."
"Mikhail..."
"It's Rex, right?"
"Yeah..."
"Have you found your answer?"
"I have, and it's pretty spectacular."
"I see. Well then... I'll leave Jin to you. Now go! Get after him already! Tell him your answer!"

"Looks like the only survivor. *Jin turns his head to look at the scene* These burn patterns don't look like Malos's handiwork. Must've been humans... Looting and pillaging while the world burns."
"Hey, it's ok. Would you like to come with us?" *Mikhail looks up at Lora* "You don't have to worry, really. We're all good people, promise."
"Can you walk?" *Mikhail simply nods his head saying 'yes'* "You can. Good going."
*flashback ends with Mikhail now traveling with Lora and Jin*
"Forgive us, Jin. We're going on ahead."
*Indol's shot makes contact with the Marsanes destroying it and those onboard while the resulting explosion also causes the already heavily crippled Titan to go down in ruins as it starts to sink into the Cloud Sea as it too gets destroyed*
*Akhos and Patroka stop in their rush to regroup with Jin and Malos as they turn around upon hearing the explosion, Patroka giving a saddened reaction to realizing what just happened while Akhos puts his head down out of respect for Mikhail's sacrifice* "Ah... Mikhail.."

Marvelous work! Nice summary.
It would've been neat if there was a scene where he talked to Mythra. Maybe even forgive her for Milton's death
@@dugtrioramen That would have been neat especially since Malos killed him.
Thank you for this recap
When this was used in Torna... It broke me.
Same. :(
My heart was fucked...
"I don’t wish for 'forever.' Even just for one moment, it’s enough if it’s with her."
If I remember nothing else from TGC, I will remember that line.
Finished the game last night, and I agree so much
Milton.....
_Why did you look so sad back then?_
_That was you too, wasn't it?_
_Father... Why do you not answer when I call?_
_Mother, I've... missed you..._
What did he mean by "That was you too, wasn't it?" I never understood that line
He was talking about Amalthus not having changed his feelings of hatred towards the world
I think Zeke was referencing when Amalthus said "A Long time ago, I seem to recall seeing a very similar scene" as his explanation as to why he saved Zeke.
So Zeke realized that Amalthus was talking about himself back then.
It could also be that Zeke was calling him out for acting like a monster when he clearly feels sadness over other people committing evil acts
"But that man, he lost everything! He no longer wanted anything. He didn't even want to live anymore. And despite that, his life was the one thing he hadn't lost. BECAUSE HE COULDN'T".
My god this game had me in tears ;-;
Thank you Monolithsoft for this grand experience :)
I really like the ending.
the first 6 chapterswere just memes but from like 8-10 was the part that made me cri. the ending is so good
Mega Mawile Chapters 1 - 7 had their good moments. These are my favorite things from each chapter
Chapter 1- Rex's old lifestyle
Chapter 2- Meeting Tora, and fighting Mòrag.
Chapter 3 - Vandham( as a character) Vandham's Death, The awakening of mythra
Chapter 4- Exploring Mor Ardain, the Rosa fight, Poppi QT, Lila, Tatazo, meeting Haze/ Fan la Norne, meeting Patroka and Mikhail( but the boss fight was crap)
Chapter 5- Going to Leftheria to see Rex's home town(Fonsett)
Temperantia, Jin fight, Haze/ Fan la Norne's death(Rex's reaction is what made it sad)
Chapter 6- Giga Rosa, first look at blade Nia, Tantal, Thesoir, Akhos, Patroka and Mikhail fight, Full Power Jin half boss fight, Pyra going with Jin to keep everyone safe
Chapter 7- Start to the chapter, everyone's struggle, music, blade Nia, Ascended Pyra/Mythra
but the gameplay was terrible
Chapter 8- Morytha, teaming with Jin, going inside the World Tree,
Amalthus's reveal as a villain even though I wasn't surprised
Chapter 9- The constant use of Desolation and Walking with you, tragic chapter, Mikhail's Sacrafice, Akhos and Patroka's death, Jin's death
Chapter 10- seeing the ruins of Elysium, meeting the Architect, Final Boss theme( the fight was kinda crap and cheap),
Words can be a Curse, To Find a Way Forward, The Final Gift(ending)
@@heropontorchic1979 Your "gameplay is terrible" argument actually solidifies why "the fear she carries" is my favorite chapter in the game, aside from the last one. You are pushed to your limits and are forced to exceed them, putting all your combat skills to the test and enduring 2 long and hard dungeons, uncovering more about your party members and revealing their internal struggles along the way. making it through difficult challenges and surviving onslaughts of powerful bosses with the team you've spent all this time getting to know, and when you finally awaken Pneuma and flatten Jin and Malos, the satisfaction is immeasurable.
Edit:
My favorite moments in every chapter:
Encounters; Rex & Pyra's resonance / Pyra's duel with Malos
Aptitude; Rex's mid-battle speech to Morag / The campfire scene
Our Own War; We've all got our own war / Exit Vandham, Enter Mythra
Aegis; Salvager's code rule 3 / Tora reunites with his father
Masters & Slaves; Pyra and Corrine / Jin mercy-kills Haze
Wounds; Pyra's rescue / The ending bargain
The Fear She Carries; (These are obvious) Nia's reveal / Pyra/Mythra reawakens
The Golden Country; Lora & Jin's cute scene in Hyber Village / Mythra's breakdown
World Tree; Jin's backstory & Torna's truth / The deal of being me
Rain; Mikhail & Jin vs Amalthus / Zeke's question
And thus, Boy met girl; Words can be a curse / End Credits scene
Max Richards I never thought of it that way
Words can be a curse. That curse is what kept him tied down here. A wretched tale, isn't it? This whole world is a wretched place.
I didn't know what I was getting into when I picked up xenoblade 2 (being a fan of the first game). At first I expected nothing but memes and tig biddies, but man I was wrong. This is the most emotional Xenoblade game in my opinion. It's very hard to make me cry ; ;
I just dont know why people hate this game even some XBC fans hate this game
Yeah, that's what both games are. They look like memes & seiddit gib on the surface, but if you actually play the game, you'll see the MANY awesome things about them.
@@yeeterberry8201 Its cause there's a lot of small things that just bug me, whether it be some inconsistency with the story, the dumb character designs, the voice acting, and other small things that just pile up, making the game less enjoyable. I disagree with the notion that it's the most emotional, mainly cause a lot of the emotional things I personally saw coming, or things that I didn't think made sense. There was just a lot of missed potential in this game that I wish they could have done.
@@hamburgtortoise9217 at least the whole plot wasnt literally spoiled by the game itself like in the og Xenoblade via Shulks visions
@@kingofcheshire Aight I dont agree here at all. I first played DE and the plot wasnt really spoiled as most of the major twists were foreshadowed via dialogue. The visions gave you enough of an idea to know where the plot was going but not enough to spoil. We didnt know of the other Faces or the really big endgame twist until those arrived naturally. Im not biased to Xenoblade 1, I may even prefer 2 to it upon replay value and 1 has its own issues (like its inability to write females), but the visions are not one of those issues
okay I've literally replayed the game just to kick amalthus' ass but ending his arc and life with that shot of his mother could not have been done any better. good god
...I always wondered who he was talking about when he was referring to "mother"...
...I completely forgot about his literal mother

It highlights that in the end, he was but a child who thought everything belonged to him.
That’s part of why he was such a great character.

“The thought of you forgetting me, it’s like one heart being ripped in two”
AHHHHH WHY WONT THE TEARS STOP

Thank you for this ^^ That's really nice, it's true! That's a really nice thought, I agree, with Xenoblade and other games I hold dear to my heart!
Games are a wonderful way for people to get closer, also the Xenoblade series got me to enjoy a lot more the true meaning behind the simple word "journey"

"If that's the case then Why not let people do whatever?"
"To remind myself"
"i must never forget what type of beings humans are"
"Is that what helping me was too?"
"a long time ago... i seemed to recall a very similar scene."
"Perhaps that too was one face of humanity."
This whole amalthus scene made me tear up, inside and out. It is one of my favorite scenes in the whole game.
I think Amalthus saving Zeke was probably the last moment of his heart crying out, begging to be heard. The similarities to Zeke's circumstances and his own were so strong that he, for a brief moment, felt human again. It's sad to think that, out of everybody in the world, Zeke was the only one who could have possibly gotten through to Amalthus.
@@luminozero I feel like, given enough time, Rex might have been able to manage it as well with his nearly unshakable optimism....which combined with Zeke being older and wiser might have actually had a genuine chance of getting through to Amalthus. But yeah, Amalthus saving Zeke was likely the "last gasp" for the part of Amalthus that still had some amount of hope for humanity....which is why Amalthus not only saved Zeke, but kept him around and gave him work to do.
RIP Malos man. Proving even a machine hellbent on destruction can feel sympathy for one man
"I just...want...to save..."
Seeing Mythra like that really did a number on me
"It fell," says the girl who sank it!
I thought Jin didn't actually mean she literally sank Torna herself. I thought he was just blaming her because they (Malos and Mythra) both fought until it ultimately sank due to Malos, but since Malos "has the right of it" of what a shitty world they live in and wanting to destroy it all, he suddenly is forgiven and she's blamed for the whole thing afterwards. Like Malos didn't totally antagonize her into fighting him one-on-one, or anything. He knew _exactly_ how to push her buttons and make her do what he really wanted.
ShadowSkyX yeah jins kinda dumb
Same with how distressed Mythra was when Malos attacked Torna I think it was and when she saw Milton's body. Her emotionless look when Malos fell was a ton to look at.
@n o o p I think that's why he agreed to a ceasefire after Rex helped him and why he told Akhos and Patroka not to attack them when they found Jin again.
when mom calls for dinner when you're in a long cutscene
What a splendid soul you were, Jin...
"Just go, Rex! Remember to FIGHT! YOUR! WAR!!!"
"But, you know? There were
people I loved, once."
"Why did you look so sad back then? ...It was you, too, wasn't it?"
"Father, why do you not answer when I call...? Mother... I've missed you..."
"His life was the only thing he hadn't lost. Because he couldn't!"
"I'm a wretched being, too! A hideous monster, far beyond saving!"
The comments regard this more as Jin’s song but Almathus’s line “Father… why do you not answer me when I call….
Mother I… missed you”
Is just haunting
It is impressive how in less than 1 minute, they make you feel bad for Amalthus, I really felt very bad for him.
Hey, I still feel bad for him having to climb all that bark when there was an elevator system
@@LFPman I've read this joke so many times, and it still makes me laugh
To quote one of my best friends
"Came for the waifus, stayed for Jin."
Jin is a character whose well written nature is only rivaled by greats like Egil. He's one of the best characters in Xenoblade 2
@Xenomaniac Really? Those two are good but they don’t even hold a candle to Egil for me.
@@TheShanicpower Malos got really good towards the end. I personally didn't like Jin at all.

Literally one of the best tracks in the game.
They’re still using this Leitmotif in Xenobalde 3s “the weight of life” holy crap
So much for keeping it together.
As soon as the melody kicked in, I was reminded of Desmond.
I miss the hell out of you, Etika. I'll come back to this whenever I need to feel your energy.
We all will man, every time I hear this song or even just play this game, I think of him. Rest In Peace Demond
I’m crying myself to sleep about it, even after these long months.
Fly High, Desmond 🕊💔😔
I came here just now because I was thinking of Etika, damn, it feels so unreal that he is gone.
Be happy for the times we had him man, guy was amazing.
There will never be another Etika, but we at least got one.
I recently started watching through his XB2 series not having any clue of what had happened to him since i didn't read any of the comments until the very last video of the series and was utterly crushed when i found out....
"What a splendid soul you were, Desmond"
He's out there with his baby girl Mythra chilling in Elysium. I'm sure of it...
"Exactly, that's exactly it! You've gotten smarter with age, huh!? I'm a wretched being too... A hideous monster, far beyond saving! So... _Let's end this now."_
"Don't you feel anything!? Father's sadness, the world he longed for?"
"How could I!? *That isn't... my role in this world..."*
This. This exchange captures Malos perfectly. He voice cracks when it rises, and when he says that final line about his role... You can tell from his facial expression that he's not exactly ecstatic about it.
It's part of why Malos is my favorite character of all time.
I don’t wish for 'forever.' Even just for one moment, it’s enough if it’s with her.
Skyblade 743 wrong quote
“Addam, i commend my people
To you.”
2:20 this always give chills dude this game soundtrack is insane!
Omggg right
Of all the character deaths that this scene plays on, there's one that impacted me the most...
...
...
...Spoilers, obviously...
...was Amalthus.
If Amalthus's mother hadn't been killed, NONE of the events in this game would've taken place.
1) Malos would've never been awakened by him, which would mean that Amalthus's grievance would've never rubbed off on Malos, which was what originally led him to want to destroy the world.
2) Lora would've never been killed and Jin would've never sided with Malos because of both this and the former reason.
3) Because Torna was never formed, Ahkos, Patroka, Mikhail, and Jin would've all lived. Ahkos and Patroka would've never had their cores stolen by Amalthus, Mikhail would've never performed the Suicide Strike on Indol, and Jin would've never sacrificed himself.
4) The Titans would've likely never died out. Titans form due to Blades becoming old and gradually evolving into Titans. Because Amalthus was constantly absorbing Core Crystals, Blades were never able to transform into Titans, causing the land to slowly disappear.
the bandits that killed his mother are the true villains of this game lmao
Also, the destruction of Torna helped slow the Titan birth rate even further, as Torna helped birth many new Titans.
Shows how one bad thing can lead to ruin down the line.
Amalthus seems so simple at first, with people thinking he was just mad his mother died, but it’s more than that. With how Alrest is, Amalthus searched for answers as to why the world was the way it was. What was his purpose in an inherently flawed world. He thought he could get an answer from the Architect, until he only found the Aegis cores. At this point, he had little hope left in the world and these beliefs carried on to Malos, programming him to be the way he was. “When people lose something, they cannot help but seek a reason why.” Amalthus never found out why in his whole life, which makes him one of the most tragic villains I’ve seen.
"Mother, I've.....missed you......."
In the end Amalthus too, was just another victim of fate....
“Though we were destined to follow different paths, I tried to walk together. I walked in the shadow of the Aegis’s light.Blindly walking my own path, while she walked alone.”
-Rex
What is that saying?
@@JamaicaZ160R1793010A I think it has to do with Rex using Pyra for his own ends kind of like Pyra was using him to get to Elysium.
Rex was seeking salvation so enthusiastically, not knowing Pyra's reasons for going. Their destination was the same but their goals/motivations couldn't be more different.
Sure, Rex accepts and supports Pyra from the outset of the game, but he doesn't really take in the gravity of that means for Mythra until after he has lost them. Pyra cares for Rex but isn't able to completely let him into her heart until seeing just how hard he's willing to work for her dreams. Pyra and Mythra think the world would be better without them, and think that unburdening Rex with their strife will fix everything. Rex kind of just assumed Pyra wants to go home and is being helpful, until he sees that there's more to the situation.
Similar to the sacrifice at the end of the game, this is such a subtle change in the character that it goes almost unseen, but under the surface it's ENORMOUS growth/development.
@@TheZirkwerks Thank you! That adds up.
Imagine this song playing in Xenoblade 3, during a flashback scene where Nia witnesses the final moments of one of the XB2 party characters.
i cant....
shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
spoilers
“I might be stupid. But I made a decision. I’ll crush you to oblivion and take Pyra and Mythra to Elysium!”
HA! CRUSH US? ME AND JIN? You couldn't take jin on your own! And on top of that, Ive regained control of ALL my Aegis powers, not to mention the artifices! You're doomed, Boy.
The saddest part about Amalthus is how he cried out for the architect as he's dying, how he's lost to religious delusions, that combined with his hatred for the world. His talk about the faces of humanity, and Zeke's line about how "That was... you too wasn't it" shows what makes us human not our greed but our emotional or sides of humanity. "As soon as people are denied something they desire they try to take it by force" Rex took the power to protect by force, through his resolve and growth as a person. And Zeke talking about how sad he looked back then makes me realize he's just a sad child grieving over his Mom maybe if he had a friend like Rex things would have been different if he had someone there for him maybe he would have coped with that loss better. And the way he says he misses his mother shows how he really is just a sad child lashing out of grief. Rex is what Amalthus could have been he too lost people but he didn't let that stop him from living his life. Along with the loss of his mother and the divine power brought my Malos that gave him delusions of grandeur, it turned him into the villain he became. Rex coped with his loss probably because of the villages and gramps.
When he met Pyra and later Mythra the power given to him was incredible but he didn't think himself as some god he was still a boy with much to learn. He cared about people he never wanted to hurt anyone he just wanted to help everyone, he was greedy but his will and his friends allowed him to achieve his goal. Not just Pyra and Mythra but the whole group Nia, Dromarch, Tora, Poppi and the others helped him grow and become not just grow as a driver but as a person. The scene where everyone is hitting Rex shows how much they care for him. The group you form in the game are people who truly care about each other. They comfort each other in their times of need and motivate each other when they need it most. It's because of his friends that Rex made it this far, and maybe if Amalthus had friends like that things would have been different.
Rex didn't technically take the power to protect by force if you're talking about Pyra/Mythra. Pyra sympathized with Rex after he was literally backstabbed by Jin back in Chapter 1 and his motivation to help her reach Elysium (where he wanted to visit too) synced with her dream of going there. Pyra gave 'half' of her Core Crystal to Rex to save his life, Rex had no say in it. Until Mythra came into the picture, Rex was rather naïve in a lot of scenarios where thinking better would have saved him from getting into more danger even if he had a few good reasons for why he did what he did. After Mythra adjusted to Rex's overly optimistic personality (she's still somewhat annoyed by it even after she absolutely loves him), Rex acts a bit more strategic as just talking isn't enough (something he always does a lot of) and questions some of his friends antics such as Mythra using her powers inside the factory. His combat skills with Mythra are greatly improved and even if he lost in Round 2, he did pretty well in dodging and parrying Jin's attacks even if his physical body couldn't keep up with Mythra's Foresight due to Jin's Lightspeed movement. Addam's spirit tells Rex that if he/Rex really wants to help the Aegis unlock her true power and become her Driver, Rex must first be able to shoulder the darkness and fear she has to live with. Addam's failure 500 years ago came from his relationship aspect with Mythra, treating her closer to a younger sister and not someone who is an equal or greater (which is what Rex views all of his friends as.) When Rex offered to be by Pyra and Mythra's side and to help them overcome their fears and allow them to move on with life, he asked them a single question. It was a test of morality that even he had to accept. He didn't take the power of the Aegis by force, up until Chapter 7, it was forced on him ever since Chapter 1. In Chapter 7, Pyra and Mythra could have declined Rex's question and offer and he wouldn't have been able to resonate with either of them anymore. Rex knows there are standards and his friends were there to remind him that the world doesn't just revolve around himself. His inner fears in Chapter 10 highlighted this.
Whereas Amalthus due to his dark and troubled past takes what he sees he needs from others by force shortly after the Aegis War. Amalthus wasn't the most sane of a person even when he was older, out of curiosity he climbed the World Tree and after seeing what was 'inside' he fled after obtaining two of the three Aegis Core Crystals (Alvis fled long before the story took place for unknown reasons.) He first resonated with Malos but Amalthus's hatred for humanity (his inner demon/darkness) corrupted the latter to where Malso became inclined to do just that even after parting ways with Amalthus upon regaining full control of himself. It was at this point that Amalthus realized he seriously screwed up with thinking he could properly control an Aegis and after Malos told him to the face that he/Amalthus knows that it's impossible for him (Amalthus again) to control an Aegis, Amalthus comes to admit he needs to find someone who can actually control an Aegis so he looks for one and sends that person after Malos. Following the Aegis War, Amalthus realizes that the Aegis are far too destructive so he begins to seek and destroy all Tornan survivors (he's nearly 100% successful) and this just makes Jin's life even more miserable as Lora ends up dying to save her Blade's life. In the main game, Amalthus acts nice and understanding but his ambitions hold a much darker secret and Mythra picks up on this and Malos isn't stupid enough to believe that she would yield to a scumbag like Amalthus (he tells this to Patroka.) When Rex and his friends encounter Amalthus and Indol fighting the Tornan Crew, Amalthus starts showing his inner demons as he shows he's no better than those around him by using Hazes power which he forcibly obtained by cutting her Core Crystal in HALF and using Amp Towers to control every non-Flesh Eater/Blade Eater (Malos was unaffected despite Mythra being influenced partially thanks to resisting) and Titan (Gramps was resisting as well) within his range of power. When Mythra refused to use her full power for the second time under his influence, Amalthus' attitude reveals that he absoltely HATES it when anyone defies his orders as he claims he's an agent of the Architect despite that only being a self-proclaimed title that he calls himself. When Amalthus in his 'Blade Eater' form appears in front of everyone inside the World Tree, Rex, Zeke and Pandoria rightly call the former out for trying to force others to obey him which makes the 'Praetor' nothing more of a tyrant who refuses to change his personality and lifestyle and hates change. Amalthus then states that he refuses to change at all (his way of life and actions) and anyone who tries to change themselves or others are nothing but fools and that if he did do so, he'd lose everything in his life. Zeke, who has had enough calls Amalthus the biggest fool and the weakest of the weak for being unable to accept life the way it is and not moving on. Even if Amalthus had friends, it would do him no good as he absolutely refuses to see any other way of living as obsolete. In the flashback of him talking to Zeke, he admits that he deep down hates the entire world of Alrest and Rex even lampshades it when he and his friends were ascending in the World Tree that Amalthus must really hate the world which is why he (and to the extent, Malos) are so inclined on wiping everyone and everything out of existence.
Beautiful comment.
@@bitrel07 Rex didn’t exactly take the power by force, he accepted the power even though he knew once he didn’t there would be no turning back. It was his resolve and desire to protect his friends that allowed him to take it. At any point Rex could’ve given up when things got tough he never really had to help Pyra and the many times that she was kidnapped he could’ve given up. When Jin beat him and took Pyra Rex almost gave up but his friends dragged him out of his depressive state and it gave him the resolve he needed to get stronger. He was able to face Jin a second time without the power of the Aegis due to his resolve and belief that he needed to protect Pyra even if he had no chance at all of winning. It’s true he had Nia in her blade form and the healing would give him some confidence but it doesn’t even compare to the power of the Pyra and Mythra. In terms of offensive power Nia isn’t exactly a top tier blade, she’s not weak either but that’s a fair price as she has incredible healing powers. That alone wouldn’t be enough to beat torna though, Rex probably wasn’t even sure if he’d survive another fight against Jin but he still tried because he had to. In the end he didn’t take the final sword by force but instead he accepted the power of the true Aegis because it was the only way he could defeat torna and protect the ones he cares about.

"im sorry rex, this is the first lie ive ever told you"
"MYTHRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!"

"Father, Why do you not answer when I call?"

This song makes grown men cry. With or without the context, it just generates emotional atmosphere. They hit the nail on the head with these tear jerking tracks.
I've only cried at two Media Franchises, Gravity Falls and this, this game is my favorite game of all time, I love these characters, I love the interactions, Gameplay, direction of the camera. I just love this game, while I could just say it's perfect, it isn't, and I know that, but as long as I have fun, it doesn't matter, now who wants to replay this game again and do a Bringer of Chaos Run.
Lmao same, Gravity Falls and Xenoblade are both my favorite media franchises and the only ones who had the ability to make me shed any tears
"I dont give a damn what you think brat!
So blades become titans and titams give life to Blades.
Honestly who even gives a damn? They can become whatever they want.
But that man, hed lost everything.
He no longer wanted to live anymore but despite that, his life was the one thing he hadnt lost. Because he couldnt't!! Words can be a curse. It was that curse that kept him tied down here. A wretched tale isnt it. This whole world is a wretched place!"
Do not forget you too are a part of that world! Were it not for you, for Amalthus, both Jin and Lora's lives may have taken very different paths!
Exactly! That's exactly it!
You 've gotten smarter with age uh?
I'm a wretched being too! A hideous monster, far beyond saving!
...So let's end this now.
To be honest, I'm not sure if Malos is talking about Jin or Amalthus there. Maybe both? Could someone help me out?
@@xynix1549 Jin. Malos's whole point is that the world and human society are so terrible, the suffering so great that it would be better to just destroy it all. Jin embodied that, as he saw how crushed he was by what happened to him.
@@Nuvendil Ah, thanks. I asked because I felt that Amalthus was in a similar situation, after losing his mother and seeing many other horrible things.
Poor Jin...seriously, what a character.
I have to address something that I feel everyone had in their minds at one point
I dont know if its because of xenoblade popularity compared to other nintendo series but xenoblade 2's Ost is so underrated it truly had the best soundtrack in 2017 hands down and its kind of sad not a lot of people want to play the game because of its graphics or English voice acting because the music really does cover it up
Well that's my 2 cents
The graphics are actually good, the scenery is amazing. English voice acting is also good apart from Rex screams
@@ldragodestroy4 Even then, it honestly feels like Rex's screams tend to get better as the game goes on, as if the VA was gradually but slowling learning.
The voice acting in this game is waaaaay better than XC1. The anime art style and abundence of fanservice is really the only things I don't like about the game.
Skyblade 743. I liked the art style. But yeah, not the fan service.
Blitz1Blacktail1. True. Rex's yells do get better as the game goes.
The moment the choir kicks in...I couldn't stop my eyes from tearing up. What a climax for a song, good lord!
*But that man... he'd lost everything. He no longer wanted anything. He didn't even want to live anymore. Yet his life was the one thing he hadn't lost.... because he couldn't!!!!*
Link the Saiyan Prince k
@Therealchris929 Lol Yeah. Moments like when he has one last moment to connect with Haze after Jin fatally wounds her helps to show that while he's an antagonist, Jin is by no means heartless. Seeing Jin react to Haze's dying smile was hard, especially once you realize that Haze looked so much like Lora and just how painful that must have been for Jin to see "Lora" die in front of him for a second time....let alone the fact that he and Haze used to have the same Driver....
Jin's story arc is the best part of Xenoblade 2 IMO. It's what made the game's story so good.
1:30 it hits me so HARD
“Just go, Rex! Remember to fight your war!”
Time to throw my quote in the ring.
"Our nation...our people..."
As a once great leader watches his nation crumble and die, he doesn't flee. No, he goes down as any good leader would...down with the ship.

1,000,000 beautiful views to support one of the greatest story tellings I've seen in a while. Xenoblade Chronicles 2 came to me in my lowest of lows. Where my anxiety was crushing my very soul. Debt kept piling up, pain wouldn't go away. But it's like God himself told me to enjoy this masterpiece of fictional work. And when i got to this section of the game, it felt like a piece of lost humanity inside me had been restored. I cried in this scene, i whimpered at the passing, i understood what it was this lost soul tried to do. It's no different from what we do in the day to day and sometimes we forget we 1,000,000 views of this video can change just by asking how someone's day is going, and how they're feeling. I'm sure things would have played out much better for poor almalthus if he opened his heart again. He gave up. And i can scarcely blame him.
Niceee
For me, Xenoblade Chronicles 2 has a special place in my hear not only for its OST, but its story, and especially resonating a lot with Jin. During that point of my life, I was in a very dark place; I lost touch with basically all my friends, suffered a lot when a girl broke my heart badly, exposed to how bad this world truly can be, and realized how a lot of people really don't care when push comes to shove, all within a span of several months mind you. When I played this game when it came out 6 years ago, Chapter 6 and onwards was an emotional rollercoaster since I could relate to the melancholy of the cast.
From how the story portrays Amalthus, I feel like Amalthus was so traumatized from his mother getting killed, he never truly recovered from it and him not moving on from that leads him to the path he walked. The funny thing is him saving Zeke shows Amalthus didn't completely gave up on everything, because if Amalthus really had zero hope in humanity, Zeke would have died. I don't know if this is me reading too much into it, but when Amalthus cried out "he did everything" and devastated from thinking the Architect watched Amalthus die with indifference, it really shows Amalthus didn't realize he was never alone, but his trauma prevented him from seeing that.
@@wiseman1436they say children losing their family very young is the most traumatizing event in their lives. Amalthus is evidence of such agony. But you could tell he tried to move on helping that man who in trend killed an entire family. It was cruel what amalthus witnessed. It honestly must have hurt him beyond words. Helping a criminal doing horrible things without knowing. In some day, he must have internally blamed himself
This game made it clear to me that there is no reason to be afraid of fear. I will no longer let fear control me and believe in myself.
I can accomplish things because I am valuable and my life is valuable.
i know im capable. believe in yourself people. never never let you control by negative people
Hearing this during Torna ending was heartbreaking
