It still makes me cry. This ending. Especially with the whole all life walking hand in hand. Its so wonderful to think if they think if continuing the series. After all we saw shulk again in xenoblade 2.
Eh. Kinda don't want that. I am cool with them trying to show how the worlds are connected, but I feel Shulks story was perfectly as it is with this game
Shigeru Miyamoto i think it would be cool to have a game based in the world created via ending in xenoblade chronicles 1 and also 2 that is set far after the events of both. Both games are perhaps linked too.
XC1 Alvis: "In this world, all life will walk towards the future hand in hand." XC3 Alvis: "...Until I fucking kill all of you." EDIT: Just finished Future Redeemed and this is only half-true.
I really liked how they managed to fit Alvis in the plot. They managed to justify his reasons, and tie that to his role as an Aegis and part of the Trinity Processor. We'll surely get see more of Alvis/A in the next game, since it's confirmed that after the events of XC3 Shulk and Rex would also return as they were, and hopefully we will learn something about the true nature of the Conduit.
To the people who are disappointed that they didn’t use the version of scene from XC2 because of plot holes, this can be explained that this scene is Alvis’s simplified recreation of the event while the one in XC2 is the true story.
Could imply that alvis' memories aren't 100% accurate due to disappearing from his original universe. But its more like a different viewpoint. some will remember details, or lack of, the others did not, including the tone of voice used. Sad that people stop functioning the second an assumption jumps in their head.
its more likely alvis just simplyfying shit for shulk as the op said... Dude was arleady confussed when the term information processing unit was used(or something along those lines), i think shulks brain would just have short circuited if Space elevators etc where involved as well.
It doesn’t feel like you get an ending like this often these days - races of former enemies united, everybody happy and hopeful and looking towards their future.
That's because it was made in a time japanese were still hoepfull for their future, now their economy is stagnant , their adults are depressed and they are about to go extinct
Well if you aren't doing it already go watch DeeBeeGeek play through it on his channel. We can't erase our memories and play anew but we can enjoy watching somebody else go through it the way we did.
Dunban literally carried me through this game because I wanted to use fiora and shulk in the same team, dunban just tanked more than 90% of hits in the game and died less than the others
Personal theory: The reason the Birth of the Universe is the XB1 version is because Alvis doesn't recall the war with the Saviorites, or merely decided Shulk wouldn't need to know about anything besides Klaus hitting the button
What I'm more curious about is the "Saviorites". What were they? I think that they were some kind of cult that worshipped the Conduit (or Zohar if want to call it), kind of like how Klaus did, and they believed that the people who had the Conduit weren't capable or worthy of having it. So they tried to take it by force, resulting in the conflict seen in XC2's backstory.
Alvis doesn't sound like the guy who would not know what really happened at that station. He even sounds more wiser than both Pneuma and Malos combined
Alvis is shown to essentially be more powerful than Zanza himself. He says that he is not just "the monado" he is "Monado." As he says this, the three monados are linked. Do also note that the symbol on his back, similarly to fiora's, represents the three monadoes. (similar to the aegises) and the design is also on zanza's new monadoes While Zanza is powerful, Alvis essentially has the strength of all of the monados. He doesn't seem like anyone who wouldn't know about something. Of course, power doesnt equal knowledge, but if he is more powerful than god, which is almost all seeing, he probably knows far more than zanza himself.
12:18 One of my favorite lines in the entire series. When Shulk responds to Alvis's question with such assurance ("That is something, I decided long ago!") and intensity, you can feel the weight of the last 50+ hrs of gameplay all resolving to this one point. Gives me chills every time.
Man seeing a lot of hate for XC2 here. I mean it’s behind the original and even Torna for me but I don’t fully understand why the hate is so bad. I realize the combat is completely different but I’m kinda glad that all four games have distinct but similar combat identities right now.
Well tbh i might be biased since I truly loved x1 and xcx to death, but something about X2 (and in some degree torna) did not click with me. The dub was either bad or just good (good examples being Nia and Zeke). Outside of Zeke and Jin i did find the whole cast pretty forgettable or at worst annoying. Rex imo was a weak protagonist compared to Shulk. I found the gameplay slow and frustrating like how you can't do regular attacks while walking when you could do it in the two prior games and wasn't really a huge fan of "collecting warrior waifus" . The story didn't feel as grand or anywhere as ambitious as the fist game. Over all it has it good moments, but I honestly found the game too overwhelming for its own good.
Shigeru Miyamoto Hmm I see exactly where you are coming from. Again I love XB1. Probably my favorite game of all time. And I do have some legitimate issues with XB2. Rex is for sure a weak protagonist and the combat gets too overwhelming cause it expects you to be about twelve steps ahead I feel. Only thing I disagree with you on is the auto attack. It certainly is less visually flashy but I never found that it effected gameplay all that much and XB2 is definitely more based around the arts set ups than the previous 2 games cause there are just more combinations of possible arts that can be together. It’s why I don’t think there’s any double attacking in auto attacks. I’ve always felt that complaints on that change were a bit nit picky for the game not having the exact same system when few RPGs stay in the same system over time. Compared to other changes in combat between XBC and XB2 that just feels so minor to me. I dunno I fee Xenoblade 2 is at the very least a good game with some flaws as most games have. Whereas xenoblade 1 is close to if not a masterpiece. So comparing 2 for not achieving the same high as 1 feels unfair to me. My only real point being it’s one thing to not have clicked with XB2. It feels like another to act like the fact that they are linked story wise or even the mention of how it’s odd they didn’t include the Zohar/Conduit in the klaus cutscene has spit on the sacred cow. Xenoblade 2 is far from my favorite of the franchise but it isn’t that bad I don’t think. Being clear I don’t love XB2 myself. I find the gacha system of progression atrocious especially when it comes to some field skills being mandatory for story progression and the only solution being to either grind the one story Blade that has the skill or gacha. Both of which can be a shit ton of extra play time. The story and world progression also feels segmented which may be why it just didn’t feel as grand. Rex is an atrocious main character in most aspects. With only a few highlight moments being actually good with him. I’m not normally one to hop on the “too anime” bandwagon and I think the artstyle is actually fine as I had huge problems with the at times plastic looking XBX, but writing wise a few scenes in the game were downright dumb and Rex being written as a rather generic Shonen protagonist made him somehow less relatable than shulk. Most of if not all of my issues with 2 were solved on torna which is why I place it above it in my personal rankings. The big detriment to torna’s story being that it doesn’t exist standalone compared to 1,2, & x. So if you didn’t like 2 or don’t like the aspects they fixed for torna, you’d have to deal with them to conclude the story anyways. I do think most the issues of 2 though are in comparing it to 1. I fell into that trap with XBX when it came out. I’ve softened on it a lot even if it’s not my favorite. I actually do like how they handled the “sequel” status. It doesn’t truly touch the original story so it doesn’t mess up the ending at all. It tells its own perfectly well contained story. The only connection is the lore which works cause it allows the lore of the series as a whole to exist, something final fantasy and fire emblem suffer with despite going similar approaches. It also allows every subsequent entry to stand as its own thing preventing. Xenoblade from becoming some sort of Kingdom hearts situation. I dunno. I realized I rambled here a bit in my defense and then bashing and then defense again of XB2.
Shigeru Miyamoto I just realized the comments I was referencing were ones you made. Seriously no hard feelings man. I guess the quick of it is, “would it have hurt to slightly edit the scenes to fit what is now established cannon?” I mean equally I don’t think not changing them hurts either but it really doesn’t change much to add the Zohar/Conduit. I do think it would harm the game to have the extended version with extra more humanizing tone to it. But visual changes with the bean stock and conduit probably wouldn’t have made a big difference except to appease lore hounds. Just my opinion though. Sorry for the extra comment after my essay earlier lol.
it was kind of cool to see another xenoblade game but the first ones is better in my opinion because xenoblade 1 takes things more seriously and xenoblade 2 is what happens when you let a bunch of anime nerds develope the game
I only just now realized that the landmass their looking at in the final shot is the remains of the bionis mostly submerged in the sea like how the titans in XC2 came together to form the new Elysium
XC2 kinda ruined Zanza imo they tried to turn him from a creator that turned violent due to the fear of his own creations forgetting about him to "lol he is klaus evil side, look he literally is cut in half xd"
@@pikachu896 There was nothing to indicate that Zanza was his evil side at all. I more interpreted it as Klaus as an entity was split into two beings that had the exact same mentality at the point the button was pressed. The difference came from Klaus having to witness his actions destroying everything and then having to live with the consequences while Zanza thought the experiment was an incredible success. Then time did the rest. If anything I thought it made Zanza more interesting since we now knew that he could have been a benevolent god but his decisions made him a tyrant.
That Ending Theme that sets in when they show Reyn fishing with Riki, Juju and Sharla....so heartwarming and brings you close to tears of joy, it's just so beautiful
Throughout the entire game I couldn't get over the fact how good these characters looked in the remaster. Their models look so damn clean compared to the original on Wii.
I just finished this game and I cried at the end. Such a beautiful journey..... And a perfect ending. I'm so glad I didn't give up. I was so close to selling the game when I couldn't beat Lorithia (what a bitch) but it was all so worth it. Since 1997, my favorite game has been FFVII but I can honestly say it has now been replaced by Xenoblade Chronicles.
The story is unparalleled! Not to mention all the twists and turns. I'm currently playing Future Connected, but to be honest I've been trying not to play it too much because I don't want to say goodbye to the characters :( I'm a dork, I know... No, I won't be playing XC2 or XC2. I've read the spoilers and I'm just going to pretend XC3 doesn't exist. XC is perfect as it is (imo). And I can't get into the anime-style graphics.
@@kyrotv8156the whole series is literally has anime tropes lmao dont see why NOT play them and you played the entirity of xc1. So if you can handle the anime style of 1 you surely can handle the rest of the series
Maybe the future Alvis saw is after the events of 3? "All life" would surely include the people in 2 as well. That or he meant that all life will walk towards each other to throw hands.
Too imagine this final battle is happening at same time with Rex with Pyra/Mythra and the party in the final battle of XC2 trying to stop Malos with Aion.
„Every living thing has the freedom to choose the path they walk.“ „it’s the will to make a decision“ Fioras and shulks determination just before the third Monado appears always gives me the chills
Shigeru Miyamoto FF 7 remake is a full game, i had the same opinion as you before i played the game. FF7 remake last longer than the 3cd of ff7, i finished ff7 og atleast 6 times.
27:52 this is probably my only complaint with the remake. Back in the original game, Alvis's eyes would glow with a bright blue light as he said "I can see it", like he was having a vision of the future. A small detail sure, but added so much to the scene, like no matter how gruesome the journey and obstacles (hence Xenoblade 3), he saw a future where everyone was to walk together, hand in hand.
Here's a fun note: "Beyond the Sky, Where We Used to be." "Where We Used to be" is the name of xenoblade chronicles 2 opening/main theme. Given the context, lore and origins of both games' worlds, this subtly is genius!
It would've been cool if for the definitive edition they put Rex's line coming from Zanza like how they did with Shulk's line in Xenoblade 2. Would've been a nice easter egg.
no one is talking about it, but i hope we all agree: Reyn trying to fish with Sharla, Juju, and Riki is pretty wholesome. Wish we had more moments with them.
Wait, if in the new world, Shulks friends are recreated from HIS consciousness, does that mean his "real" friends are dead and the ones that are alive are their "ideal" copies of them perceived by Shulk?
Honestly, I'm not a fan of Zanza's new look in his first. More detailed, sure, but the white, organic look was more appealing. His second form, however, is just awesome! His final form, though, is much better than the first form. It's much easier to see, not just because of the size. I wish the colors on his first form were the same as his final form. It'd be an excellent improvement of the original version.
Well I think he never really was white to begin with and it's the lighting which made him more paile. I think he was supposed to be Grey in the original though to resemble the bionis titan
Grey sounds more accurate. I should’ve said grey. This new look of his first form makes him look more than the Mechonis than the Bionis. But that doesn’t ruin the whole experience. It’s just a noticeable detail that’s kind of off putting.
"i dont know. it comes from the bottom of my heart. it shows me my enemy. it reveals the future i must change" is a line that i quite like alot from shulk in this particular cutscene.
The Beast 34 Zanza’s final forms are vague enough that this shouldn’t be much of an issue. You can’t really tell what it is, especially when a person on a blind run wouldn’t know any context to the image anyway. So I think it’s fine
@@thatamericannarrator8247 Hell, even the official trailers had out of context shots from the biggest twist in the game and I'm absolutely certain no new players were spoiled on that from the trailers. As far as spoiler thumbnails go, this one really isn't that bad
26:15 you all cried from nostalgia when we saw this and remembered the original graphics which were ok and saw this and the music and realized...this is pretty much it for the story
I think Alvis being a slightly unreliable narrator in terms of Klaus’s experiment has to do with his sync rate being at 96% when the conduit was activated therefore he never had all the information when he activated the space time transition event.
I want to collaborate with Netflix on adapting the comic book “Superhumans”, which I’m making, once it’s finished. And I’m pretty sure that someone would splice “Zanza the Divine” onto the final battle, for reasons obvious to those who know the main villain.
There's so much to learn from this ending. I'm writing an article about this to make people who played or never played this game reflect on the idea of "god".
Btw is that core crystal on alvis a necklace or is it in his chest because it's where the key was but core Crystal's are normally in their chest also my auto correct thought I ment elvis haha
i think its a necklace but your right it would make more sense to be in chest but not all core crystals have to be in chest because jin has his on his forehead
it is a necklace, but it's not really a case of the crystal having to be on the body. For example many of the blades incorporate it into "clothing" from what I know those "clothes" can't be taken off so Alvis's necklace is really a part of his body. Which seems a bit disturbing thinking about it like that, but that's essentially what it is.
People may be confused or disappointed that they didn't alter the ending to fit with Xenoblade Chronicles 2 but honestly, it doesn't really matter. The fact that they basically confirmed that Alvis is Ontos(The 3rd aegis) via his necklace is more then enough to make Xenoblade 1 and 2 fit with each other. There's no need to change a perfectly fine ending to align with the sequel if a mere necklace can do that just fine. Now the question is where EXACTLY did the cast of 2 go in the ending? Because that landmass looks VERY much like the Bionis remains from the ending. Maybe they'll do a DLC where they meet up and do something cool. Maybe even imply that in the 3rd game(whenever that is.) IDK man, I'm just giving theories here. Don't mind me.
I like the idea that the worlds between each installments are connected, but I think Shulk's story is done though. If they really wanted them to meet then they could have done it with the future connected epilogue, but guess what they didn't. This shows that even the developers doesn't want that either.
you don't know that. You don't REALLY know what they want to do. They could easily just make a DLC about it and no one would really complain. You can't just automatically throw the idea away just because YOU don't like Xenoblade Chronicles 2(which you have VERY MUCH in this comment section.) I'm not saying it's guaranteed but please keep within the possibilities, even if it's something that you don't like that's all.
@@anthonychessar7179 well yes X2 had its moments, but it ended up dissapoint me. I just think if they truly did want to make shulk meet Rex and the gang Canon then they would have done it with the future connected epilogue. I don't think they are going to make dlc for this game since it is a remake
The place they ended up at is just a pile of dead titans, hence "They're joining with the land". You can even see a few wings and horns on it. There's no connections to Xenoblade 1 there.

It doesn’t feel like you get an ending like this often these days - races of former enemies united, everybody happy and hopeful and looking towards their future.
I like xenoblade chronicles series since it sort of reminds me of older rpgs and such.
That's because it was made in a time japanese were still hoepfull for their future, now their economy is stagnant , their adults are depressed and they are about to go extinct
I'm genuinely pissed I can't play through this game for the first time again
Well if you aren't doing it already go watch DeeBeeGeek play through it on his channel. We can't erase our memories and play anew but we can enjoy watching somebody else go through it the way we did.
There'll be plenty of xeno games to play in future as the series has truly taken off.
Aaaaah my good Dunban. Most OP character on Jrpg's history
The Agility Tank to surpass God itself.
Together with rayn. They could even beat the greatest black dragon.
Dunban literally carried me through this game because I wanted to use fiora and shulk in the same team, dunban just tanked more than 90% of hits in the game and died less than the others
Personal theory: The reason the Birth of the Universe is the XB1 version is because Alvis doesn't recall the war with the Saviorites, or merely decided Shulk wouldn't need to know about anything besides Klaus hitting the button
What I'm more curious about is the "Saviorites". What were they? I think that they were some kind of cult that worshipped the Conduit (or Zohar if want to call it), kind of like how Klaus did, and they believed that the people who had the Conduit weren't capable or worthy of having it. So they tried to take it by force, resulting in the conflict seen in XC2's backstory.
Or maybe it's because this is basically just an engine change and model upgrade
@@av_8596 thats a good theory i would have never thought of that because they dont explain the aliens for some reason so thats probably why
Alvis doesn't sound like the guy who would not know what really happened at that station. He even sounds more wiser than both Pneuma and Malos combined
Alvis is shown to essentially be more powerful than Zanza himself.
He says that he is not just "the monado" he is "Monado."
As he says this, the three monados are linked.
Do also note that the symbol on his back, similarly to fiora's, represents the three monadoes. (similar to the aegises) and the design is also on zanza's new monadoes
While Zanza is powerful, Alvis essentially has the strength of all of the monados. He doesn't seem like anyone who wouldn't know about something.
Of course, power doesnt equal knowledge, but if he is more powerful than god, which is almost all seeing, he probably knows far more than zanza himself.

@@dantelawrence4676so proud of his transition
12:18 One of my favorite lines in the entire series. When Shulk responds to Alvis's question with such assurance ("That is something, I decided long ago!") and intensity, you can feel the weight of the last 50+ hrs of gameplay all resolving to this one point. Gives me chills every time.
Man seeing a lot of hate for XC2 here. I mean it’s behind the original and even Torna for me but I don’t fully understand why the hate is so bad. I realize the combat is completely different but I’m kinda glad that all four games have distinct but similar combat identities right now.
Well tbh i might be biased since I truly loved x1 and xcx to death, but something about X2 (and in some degree torna) did not click with me. The dub was either bad or just good (good examples being Nia and Zeke). Outside of Zeke and Jin i did find the whole cast pretty forgettable or at worst annoying. Rex imo was a weak protagonist compared to Shulk. I found the gameplay slow and frustrating like how you can't do regular attacks while walking when you could do it in the two prior games and wasn't really a huge fan of "collecting warrior waifus" . The story didn't feel as grand or anywhere as ambitious as the fist game. Over all it has it good moments, but I honestly found the game too overwhelming for its own good.
Shigeru Miyamoto Hmm I see exactly where you are coming from. Again I love XB1. Probably my favorite game of all time. And I do have some legitimate issues with XB2. Rex is for sure a weak protagonist and the combat gets too overwhelming cause it expects you to be about twelve steps ahead I feel. Only thing I disagree with you on is the auto attack. It certainly is less visually flashy but I never found that it effected gameplay all that much and XB2 is definitely more based around the arts set ups than the previous 2 games cause there are just more combinations of possible arts that can be together. It’s why I don’t think there’s any double attacking in auto attacks. I’ve always felt that complaints on that change were a bit nit picky for the game not having the exact same system when few RPGs stay in the same system over time. Compared to other changes in combat between XBC and XB2 that just feels so minor to me. I dunno I fee Xenoblade 2 is at the very least a good game with some flaws as most games have. Whereas xenoblade 1 is close to if not a masterpiece. So comparing 2 for not achieving the same high as 1 feels unfair to me. My only real point being it’s one thing to not have clicked with XB2. It feels like another to act like the fact that they are linked story wise or even the mention of how it’s odd they didn’t include the Zohar/Conduit in the klaus cutscene has spit on the sacred cow. Xenoblade 2 is far from my favorite of the franchise but it isn’t that bad I don’t think.
Being clear I don’t love XB2 myself. I find the gacha system of progression atrocious especially when it comes to some field skills being mandatory for story progression and the only solution being to either grind the one story Blade that has the skill or gacha. Both of which can be a shit ton of extra play time. The story and world progression also feels segmented which may be why it just didn’t feel as grand. Rex is an atrocious main character in most aspects. With only a few highlight moments being actually good with him. I’m not normally one to hop on the “too anime” bandwagon and I think the artstyle is actually fine as I had huge problems with the at times plastic looking XBX, but writing wise a few scenes in the game were downright dumb and Rex being written as a rather generic Shonen protagonist made him somehow less relatable than shulk. Most of if not all of my issues with 2 were solved on torna which is why I place it above it in my personal rankings. The big detriment to torna’s story being that it doesn’t exist standalone compared to 1,2, & x. So if you didn’t like 2 or don’t like the aspects they fixed for torna, you’d have to deal with them to conclude the story anyways.
I do think most the issues of 2 though are in comparing it to 1. I fell into that trap with XBX when it came out. I’ve softened on it a lot even if it’s not my favorite. I actually do like how they handled the “sequel” status. It doesn’t truly touch the original story so it doesn’t mess up the ending at all. It tells its own perfectly well contained story. The only connection is the lore which works cause it allows the lore of the series as a whole to exist, something final fantasy and fire emblem suffer with despite going similar approaches. It also allows every subsequent entry to stand as its own thing preventing. Xenoblade from becoming some sort of Kingdom hearts situation. I dunno. I realized I rambled here a bit in my defense and then bashing and then defense again of XB2.
Shigeru Miyamoto I just realized the comments I was referencing were ones you made. Seriously no hard feelings man. I guess the quick of it is, “would it have hurt to slightly edit the scenes to fit what is now established cannon?” I mean equally I don’t think not changing them hurts either but it really doesn’t change much to add the Zohar/Conduit. I do think it would harm the game to have the extended version with extra more humanizing tone to it. But visual changes with the bean stock and conduit probably wouldn’t have made a big difference except to appease lore hounds. Just my opinion though. Sorry for the extra comment after my essay earlier lol.
@@THENikNak it's okay. It was cool that you took so much time to write all this haha
it was kind of cool to see another xenoblade game but the first ones is better in my opinion because xenoblade 1 takes things more seriously and xenoblade 2 is what happens when you let a bunch of anime nerds develope the game
I only just now realized that the landmass their looking at in the final shot is the remains of the bionis mostly submerged in the sea like how the titans in XC2 came together to form the new Elysium
Damn, everyone shitting on XC2 tho. XC2 actually had a good plot of its own. It explained how Klaus effected their world too.
XC2 kinda ruined Zanza imo they tried to turn him from a creator that turned violent due to the fear of his own creations forgetting about him to "lol he is klaus evil side, look he literally is cut in half xd"
@@pikachu896 There was nothing to indicate that Zanza was his evil side at all. I more interpreted it as Klaus as an entity was split into two beings that had the exact same mentality at the point the button was pressed. The difference came from Klaus having to witness his actions destroying everything and then having to live with the consequences while Zanza thought the experiment was an incredible success. Then time did the rest. If anything I thought it made Zanza more interesting since we now knew that he could have been a benevolent god but his decisions made him a tyrant.
People complaining about XBC2 are just dumb.
XC2 is good but XC1 is better but XCX might actually be the best but XC2 is just as fun as all of them so really Xenosaga is the best of the best

That Ending Theme that sets in when they show Reyn fishing with Riki, Juju and Sharla....so heartwarming and brings you close to tears of joy, it's just so beautiful
After playing Xenoblade 3, watching this again just make things sad, especially for Melia.
Throughout the entire game I couldn't get over the fact how good these characters looked in the remaster. Their models look so damn clean compared to the original on Wii.
I just finished this game and I cried at the end. Such a beautiful journey..... And a perfect ending.
I'm so glad I didn't give up. I was so close to selling the game when I couldn't beat Lorithia (what a bitch) but it was all so worth it.
Since 1997, my favorite game has been FFVII but I can honestly say it has now been replaced by Xenoblade Chronicles.
Dude I’m really glad you liked the game!! Will you play future connected and XC2/XC3 next?
The story is unparalleled! Not to mention all the twists and turns.
I'm currently playing Future Connected, but to be honest I've been trying not to play it too much because I don't want to say goodbye to the characters :( I'm a dork, I know...
No, I won't be playing XC2 or XC2. I've read the spoilers and I'm just going to pretend XC3 doesn't exist. XC is perfect as it is (imo). And I can't get into the anime-style graphics.

Bob M both are phenomenal so it’s personal opinion. I’m a ff7 fan so I bought it before this.

Finally this trilogy is done. Klaus saga is over, on to radio saga
27:52 this is probably my only complaint with the remake. Back in the original game, Alvis's eyes would glow with a bright blue light as he said "I can see it", like he was having a vision of the future. A small detail sure, but added so much to the scene, like no matter how gruesome the journey and obstacles (hence Xenoblade 3), he saw a future where everyone was to walk together, hand in hand.
"Never! I don't want to be your vessel or your disciple! I just want to live my lives as a Homs! In a world without you!"
Beyond The Sky is the same... still is good < 3
They should have used SARAH's remix
Here's a fun note:
"Beyond the Sky, Where We Used to be."
"Where We Used to be" is the name of xenoblade chronicles 2 opening/main theme. Given the context, lore and origins of both games' worlds, this subtly is genius!

Lovely ending. Now i know why i love Xenoblade so much!
It would've been cool if for the definitive edition they put Rex's line coming from Zanza like how they did with Shulk's line in Xenoblade 2. Would've been a nice easter egg.
Yeah or it be interesting if Zanza heard Malos voice and goes "WTF ARE YOU, nevermind that..."
It does seem that while the Architect is aware of Zanza, Zanza is not aware of the Architect. So maybe it makes more sense like this
no one is talking about it, but i hope we all agree: Reyn trying to fish with Sharla, Juju, and Riki is pretty wholesome. Wish we had more moments with them.

12:47
Riki......
Riki fight too! *falls over* Dundun, help! Riki is stuck!
Honestly, I'm not a fan of Zanza's new look in his first. More detailed, sure, but the white, organic look was more appealing. His second form, however, is just awesome!
His final form, though, is much better than the first form. It's much easier to see, not just because of the size. I wish the colors on his first form were the same as his final form. It'd be an excellent improvement of the original version.
Well I think he never really was white to begin with and it's the lighting which made him more paile. I think he was supposed to be Grey in the original though to resemble the bionis titan
Grey sounds more accurate. I should’ve said grey. This new look of his first form makes him look more than the Mechonis than the Bionis.
But that doesn’t ruin the whole experience. It’s just a noticeable detail that’s kind of off putting.

I am posting a comment here before that funny internet clown Dennim Chicken can say stupid
I think Alvis being a slightly unreliable narrator in terms of Klaus’s experiment has to do with his sync rate being at 96% when the conduit was activated therefore he never had all the information when he activated the space time transition event.
Or he just lies to Shulk's face like he always does
The ending hits different since the XC3 trailer.
I remember zanza's armour being much more... shiny.
The lighting on Zanza is less aggressive than the original. I think it works in the game's favour, because I can make his body out clearer.
I want to collaborate with Netflix on adapting the comic book “Superhumans”, which I’m making, once it’s finished. And I’m pretty sure that someone would splice “Zanza the Divine” onto the final battle, for reasons obvious to those who know the main villain.
One of the best RPG's EVER made.

Surprised that they didn't update the Klaus scene to be more like the XC2 one

I interpret the Klaus scene in XC1 to be Alvis’s simplified recreation of the event while the scene in XC2 to be the true story.

i think its a necklace but your right it would make more sense to be in chest but not all core crystals have to be in chest because jin has his on his forehead
lol elvis
it is a necklace, but it's not really a case of the crystal having to be on the body. For example many of the blades incorporate it into "clothing" from what I know those "clothes" can't be taken off so Alvis's necklace is really a part of his body.
Which seems a bit disturbing thinking about it like that, but that's essentially what it is.
Alvis is Ontos, the 3rd Aegis...and his neckless is his core crystal
@@AdfasSSBM its sad because what if its hot outside then they cant take there clothes off
Insane how we're going to be able to explore the new (merged) world in XC3.
People may be confused or disappointed that they didn't alter the ending to fit with Xenoblade Chronicles 2 but honestly, it doesn't really matter. The fact that they basically confirmed that Alvis is Ontos(The 3rd aegis) via his necklace is more then enough to make Xenoblade 1 and 2 fit with each other. There's no need to change a perfectly fine ending to align with the sequel if a mere necklace can do that just fine. Now the question is where EXACTLY did the cast of 2 go in the ending? Because that landmass looks VERY much like the Bionis remains from the ending. Maybe they'll do a DLC where they meet up and do something cool. Maybe even imply that in the 3rd game(whenever that is.) IDK man, I'm just giving theories here. Don't mind me.
I like the idea that the worlds between each installments are connected, but I think Shulk's story is done though. If they really wanted them to meet then they could have done it with the future connected epilogue, but guess what they didn't. This shows that even the developers doesn't want that either.
you don't know that. You don't REALLY know what they want to do. They could easily just make a DLC about it and no one would really complain. You can't just automatically throw the idea away just because YOU don't like Xenoblade Chronicles 2(which you have VERY MUCH in this comment section.) I'm not saying it's guaranteed but please keep within the possibilities, even if it's something that you don't like that's all.
@@anthonychessar7179 well yes X2 had its moments, but it ended up dissapoint me. I just think if they truly did want to make shulk meet Rex and the gang Canon then they would have done it with the future connected epilogue. I don't think they are going to make dlc for this game since it is a remake
