Thanks for the great video. One thing I wish to add is: Takahashi not only wished to talk about Nietzsche and Camus here in his works, but also Sartre who brings an element of hope into the rebel against nihilism. Sartre means as you said (and as Nietzsche said in his works) in this video: an emphasis on the will to self-overcoming instead of the will to living. That's why Takahashi chooses to end the eternal return in both Xenosaga 3 and Xenoblade 3 to reveal the true meaning of amor fati and eternal return. For the eternal return of: not the similar but the dissimilar; to love the fate you create (contingency and hope), not the fate you tolorate (necessity and despair).
Thank you. It is a hard video to watch but that's what Xenoblade 3 deserves. At least in my estimations. Takahashi san wanted us to feel these emotions and move forward hand in hand with the people who are close to us. Nietzsche's worldview is the key to understanding Xenoblade 3. I hope I was able to do it justice.
This is the first video I came across of yours (excellent video!) so maybe your other Xenoblade videos dive into this, but towards the end I had a sudden realization and possible explanation: that in Aionios, the powers of Logos and Pneuma are gifted to those who represent totality of different worldviews. That Logos was gifted to N, who had selfish desires to cling on to love and his own life and to perpetuate eternity's flow (might extend to all other Moebius given that they too have purple cores and purple ether); while Pneuma was gifted to those who wish to change the stagnant and hope for a better future while at the same time wishing not to abandon their fellow man, hence Matthew, Noah, and possibly all other Ouroboros candidates.
Haven't even watched the video yet, but considering the discourse [it's honestly soured me on the series a bit], I'm glad the algorithm sent this to me.
If you are soured on Xenoblade 3 because of the 'discourse', this will be a palate cleanser if you will. Maybe even show a side of 3 that you'll appreciate more. It certainly did that for me as the creator. This was a challenging script to write in general. Let me know your thoughts after watching it. Much love,
In my opinion Hegel should be looked at for the trilogy. Hegelian dialectics can be found all throughout and is also the structure of the trilogy itself. the war between Bionis and Mechonis and the result at the end is that, the separation between human and blade is that, and synthesizes in various ways , and the third game is a synthesis of the first and second game which make up the thesis and antithesis of each other in several ways.
Thank you for giving Shinia's point of view another spotlight. She is so important to the story but I see a lot of people misunderstanding or failing to empathize with her.
Ultimately, Shania desired the 'will to power'-the ability to have options, to choose the brush over the gun. While she was allured by the reincarnation offered to the soldiers of Aionios, it is ultimately a mediocre existence still. The true independence would be to break free of the confines of this world, not to have another chance at success. But that 'will to live' she argues for is so relatable that it is hard to directly counter it. We all want to have another go at life after all. Especially when your life didn't quite pan out the way you wanted. So I definitely get Shania and she is the one of the most underrated characters in the game.
To me it was obvious Noah was an Ubermensch, even before Takahashi confirmed it. Also noteworthy to me... ~Thus Spoke Zarathustra~ 1. The Three Metamorphoses What is the great dragon which the spirit is no longer inclined to call Lord and God? "Thou-shalt," is the great dragon called. But the spirit of the lion saith, "I will." "Thou-shalt," lieth in its path, sparkling with GOLD-a scale-covered beast; and on every scale GLITTERETH GOLDEN, "Thou shalt!" The values of a thousand years GLITTER on those scales, and thus speaketh the mightiest of all dragons: "All the values of things-GLITTER on me. N is the GOLD Moebius because he represents their highest values... as Z says, "You do after all desire eternity... above all others." Love your videos man keep it up!
@@Ontos99 im just tired of all of these games having the same story/message man. FF16 lifted like half of its plot structure, and all of its ending and themes from Xenoblade 1. it makes these games super samey, at least the ones that have come out recently
@Ontos99 the cast. The worldbuilding. The last third of the game. The saturday morning cartoons villians. The progresión (very linear). For moments it try to hard to be so mature and big than feel childish at moment.

Xenoblade is one of the rare things that makes more sense and becomes more fascinating under scrutiny
A gift that keeps on giving - Rex
It's literally the perfect way to describe xenoblade.

Honestly, the editing got me in actual tears when you asked the viewers if you can not only accept, but LOVE your own fate. Powerful script.

Yes. I think you'll enjoy both my Amalthus and Crys analysis

I'll use your work one day.

@ thanks my hero!
That was really good wtf
Thanks I enjoyed your Xenogears essay
Zoomers discovering what every JRPG has been about since the inception of the genre. It’s getting old at this point
Originality resides in execution, my boomer friend ;)

Man this game was such a disapointing experience.
After xenoblade 2 I was so hyped
XC3 is a different beast compared to 1 and 2. Tell me what some of the things are that made you feel disappointed about it?
@Ontos99 the cast.
The worldbuilding.
The last third of the game.
The saturday morning cartoons villians.
The progresión (very linear).
For moments it try to hard to be so mature and big than feel childish at moment.
