Hello there, my name is Gabriel and I play the character of young Noah in Xenoblade 3. It's AWESOME to see my character, to actually hear my voice and, to see the finished product! It's been an absolute privilege to be involved in this and it's VERY exciting to see everything come together in this way.
From mixed bath scenes to down right promoting polygamy. How repulsive can this game get. At least it not as bad as the fan service in XC2. What a mess, this series needs to end especially with all the occult symbols...
she "dodged the bullet" alright... being a flesh eater, she didn't revert into her core crystal when her driver kicked the bucket... so, she basically achieved biological immortality (thanks to her powerful healing powers), good for her ^^
I have a confession to make I played 2, but my dumbass always took it as Flesh Eaters just aren't immortal (be that from the age sense, or blunt force kills, also completely forgetting that she a good healer) I simp for 2 and even I still have my dumbass moments xD
@@lilsoonerfaninmo Cole/Mynoth pretty much showed that Flesh Eaters do get old, at least after 500 years + the time he was awoken initially. Maybe Nia has something else keeping her very well alive and young, probably her regenerative abilities
I love how the gang view Nia as some kind of divine figure, even though she makes it obvious she is not. Like, they ask her how to get to Origin and she flat out says she has no idea. Then when the gang find a way to get there and they tell her about it, Senna's like "Ooh, you were just testing us to see if we were actually serious about doing this!" and Nia is just like "You know what, sure, let's just go with that."
Each Flesheater is different. Just like how each blade is. Also the player wright considered himself a failure as a flesheater. So he wouldn’t live as long as Nia, who was a perfected example.
@@LuisHernandez-yy4yv true, but Jin was also already dying with the perfected technique, he lived long in his prime bc malos build him that healing pod that he regularly goes into. We don't know how old akhos and patroka are so they aren't good comparisons.
I can't stop rewatching it, when she gets up and walks up to them with that music in the background...they nailed her design in this game, same with Melia's.
Watching this scene felt like meeting a dear friend after an extended time apart, I just couldn’t stop smiling. Also it’s good to see she hasn’t changed too much.
@@williamravisburn2368 pyra/mythra proly reverted into the crystal(s), after Rex kicked the bucket (died of old age, I mean)... or maybe they became flesh eaters (cuz like the Agnus people all look like mix between the nations/races and blades) and also died (of old age)... Nia is an exception, cuz she has very strong regenerative powers, regardless of being a flesh eater herself... or: who the f*ck knows for sure, right? :)
Xenoblade 2 was my first Xenoblade game, so when meeting Nia again in Xenoblade 3, I started to recall my memories I had with Xenoblade 2, especially with Nia since she’s one of my favorite Xenoblade 2 characters. So seeing her again a little more older while maintaining some of her old personality made me feel happy. It felt like seeing an old friend agains. Was it because of nostalgia. Perhaps. Regardless, it’s good to see you again Nia. Or should say, Queen Nia. 😌❤️
So is anyone going to talk about how Nia explained how Aionis came to be? Because after hearing what she said about the two worlds being once one, made think back on how Klaus activated the Conduit, making me realize that Klaus didn’t just broke the original Earth, he split it in half just like his body. Galea was right, Klaus didn’t fully understand the Conduit and what it was capable of.
yup.. it straight up shows how both worlds splitting was the caused by Klaus experiment what Im confused about is, did both worlds fused (and ultimately both implode on itself) together or did they stop halfway because of Zs interference with origin failing to reboot... so it caused the two worlds to partly fused together but not entirely, causing them to go into stasis (a pause in time)?
@@durandal9956 well there's also the fact that there's an unclear amount of time between 2 and 3, it's implied to be incredibly long and it's likely that Rex and Shulk's groups simply passed on before their extended lifespan allies
Considering the amount of time spent getting upgrades from Tora's Minigame and watching her outright demolishing everyboss solo. *Preps wallet for DLC: Poppi a / Poppi QT / Poppi QT π*
She has three forms the third being the most powerful and a Gundam she can basically telepathically connect to to take enemies from a distance, she is practically on the same level as a bio weapon
Nia Is A Good Side Character /XC2 Protagonist Character it’s because I love her Story about Xenoblade™️ 3 but she’s not bad villain she is a Hero like: Pyra/Mythra but I’m exactly happy for her making her as a special appearance.
When I first heard her theme I literally was like......you bastards enough with the feels 😭😭. Like make me remember all the times it was used especially with Nia.
OHHH I GET IT NOW. The reason she lived is because it went through her heart and not her core crystal. She is the last actual blade so she probably still regenerates like one, and D didn't know that so he shot her heart.
Well she's a Flesh Eater, which tend to lose their immortality and begin to age. But separate from that Nia has crazy regenerative and healing abilities as a Blade unique to her.
She also has the regenerative and healing abilities. remember she literally bring back Nial from the brink of death. WELL! NIAL DIED technically since his connection with Aegion was severed and Aegion go back to be a core crystal.
@@SenseiRaisen she can also use those regenerative abilities offensively, like that one time she supercharged Malos' cell replication and gave him super cancer for a bit
Honestly, Monolith fooled everyone, and it worked in a good way. In the end, it seems like Nia/Melia got what they wanted in the end from the previous protagonist (Although Melia probably had to wait longer, unlike Nia who has Rex be accepting of a Poly relationship WTF).
I like how after you find her you immediately leave her then you go back an then you leave her again like you could have at least brought her with you to the city
She's safest where she is though. The Cloudkeep has security measures to keep her from getting captured like Melia, and the second she left it, Moebius would know where she is and come for her.
if you see the final battle then you will see that cloudkeep where you find her is like an extension of her throne room which she could control even the whole castle with it, also theres strange contraption that implied to contain something from xbc2 thats surely important to Nia. so thats her home and room right there why would she go to city
But if Nia is alive and blades are bonded to their Drivers. Then what happened to Dromach? Or did he fulfill his cycle as a blade? But then again that could not happen since Titans were no longer needed after the events of the world tree.
That kinda makes me sad to think about, I used everyone’s signature blade the most from beginning to end, so thinking Dromach is gone kinda makes me sad to think, I grew attached to all of them
When the Eternity had started, it's likely the Blade Cycle had been broken, with the crystals not being able to draw in data as they would normally due to stopped time. Dromarch (and other protags) likely slowly died off from their homecomings, or breaking away from the Flame Clocks (as hinted at with Rex's statue).
Aionios is just a frozen world, once origin rebooted Nia simply went back to rex and the others she even says it in the ending that she'll see them soon
@@jackjohnson8305 Aionios was at least a thousand years old, everyone joined it at the same time, but most from the other 2 games still died, they'll be rebooted after Origin activates yeah, but they still died.
When the two world separate at 4:12, there’s a ripple that goes out from the middle. When Mio and Noah’s hand are separated in the ending, the same ripple comes out from their hands.
A half homs' half high entia and a flesh eater. Both will live long lifespans and eventually one day will succumb to age. Different how their existences came to be but I'm willing to wager their lifespans are roughly the exact same amount.
I have a question then. Well besides Nia being back in the game and now being a queen. Which..how did that happen? Did we ever figure out how Nia and Melia became queens? What do you think the timeskip between the previous games and this one is.
Well Melia was empress of the high entia and it could just have been that when the world was recreated the people of Xeno 1 decided to unite and just make her queen of the land but for Xeno 2 no clue
blades and titans have long lifespans, but they don’t live forever and also will lose their memories over time. pyra/mythra probably chose to die alongside rex, so then that leaves successful flesh eaters as the only “true” immortals. and successful flesh eaters are inconceivably rare, nia probably being the only one. nia becomes queen because she ends up knowing the most about the world. as for melia, i think that’s obvious. she became empress of the high entia, and once all the races came together as one society, her high status among the high entia transfered over
Well Melia it makes sense because she was already queen of the remaining high entia and maybe people eventually broke down the barriers and all fell under that umbrella. Nia on the other hand is a weird case, a lot could’ve happened and we frankly have no idea.
2:42 the Mechonis Sword still has the gap from when the Annihilator, well Annihlated it! Wonder if they’ll fix that in an update cause that kind of really breaks the lore even if it’s an accident.
Oh my gosh i noticed this and scrolled into the comments to see if anyone else did too! That's a hilarious inconsistency and yeah I really hope they fix it cause it makes no sense xD
I wanted to cut J and D half for that cheap shot. When I got up there and saw Nia was fine I remembered she’s traded blows with Malos, Jin, and Super Amalthus needless to say she’s survived worse than a couple of spirit store knockoffs. Also love the fact even all these years later she’s still the same lovable spitfire, although still wondering how she became the ultimate ruler of Agnus I mean taking out the major threats should garner some hero worship but sovereignty I don’t think so.
I've got a better question: how the _spark_ (lol) did she come up with the name (Agnus = lamb, Keves = also lamb, I'd think that's what the Moebius would come up with, not the queens)
@@Minako_Meleph Torna, Xenoblade 2’s side story was a prequel, while DE got a sequel, honestly more interested about 3’s side story, could give hints towards the next installment or flesh out characters even more
I Don’t know if this addressed since I’m not finished the game yet. BUT I like how Z attacks and captures Melia. As it’s stated that Xenoblade 2 side is naturally tougher then their counterparts in Xenoblade 1. We got a really strong high Entia. Which at their core are pretty much Homs/Humans. With a group of Homs defending her. Nias side you have arguably top five strongest blades in Alrest (Bridgette and Mythra if Mythra wasn’t weakened by the separation of her and Pyra. Jin and Malos) Being driven by arguably the greatest driver on the planet. Who can call to might the Flame Bringer, and a living lightning bolt. And the Aegis herself. Again depending on how much being separated weakened Pyra and Mythra. Yes Shulk and his Monado replica EX. But at their core, you’re going to want to pick a fight with a massively depowered Shulk. Over a full powered Rex with two Aegis's and Nia any day of week.
It’s also said in XC3 that to keep up with Agnians, Kevesi need power frames (those circle things on the Keves characters’ clothes) since they’re physically weaker than Blades, and since most Agnians are seem to share genetics with Blades (most of them have Core Crystals and are inhumanly tough and strong) it makes sense
Tengo una teoría de como sobrevivió Nia por tanto tiempo. Ella es una ''devora Blades'', al igual que Amaltus puede consumir otros blades para obtener poder y alargar su vida, pero a diferencia del gran pretorio, ella debió consumir el cristal de Pyra y Mythra para que los efectos sean más estables y no termine como Amaltus, a parte de que si Rex muere, el cristal de la Egida seria visto por seres con ganas de tener el poder de todo, por eso los consume Nia, luego se devoró los cristales de los blades raros incluyendo al de Dromach, en el caso de Poppi y su hermana Litta si es que sobrevivió esta misma con el padre de Tora al ataque en la masacre de todo Alrest, debieron estar en el baúl al cuidado de Nia, solo que Litta es mas reservada que Poppi. No he jugado el Xenoblade 3 pero si la 2, recuerden que esto es solo una teoría, puede que el juego diga otra cosa.
Funny how mobius do not know what nia is as a whole, did they really think a blade could die from being stabbed in organic body parts, jin is the only person who could kill a blade
To be fair as a Flesh Eater Nia theoretically has lost most of her natural regeneration, along with her immortality. Just so happens that her flesh eater ability is crazy cellular regeneration. Plus there's an unclear amount of time between the first two games and 3, knowledge of Blades and Flesh Eaters could have easily faded, especially since no 'traditional' Blades are around in Aionios and Nia is probably the only successful Flesh Eater left.
@@noodle4542 nia still has her crazy regeneration, just not immortality (though shed still be much older than a mortal). And her crazy regen is just enhanced by her healing abilitied
If you do actually know Catrin Mai-Huw (how do you pronounce her last name?) personally, please let her know we love her work in the Xenoblade game series. Her voice acting was a thing of beauty in Xenoblade Chronicles 2 and 3.
The story is full of plot holes and inconsistencies; Showing a flashback of the X1 and X2 worlds before they collided, yet the landmarks in the background are clearly the same as the present day Aionios (even the Mechonis sword has the hole that just got blown up durring the main story). The two worlds are first depicted as planets, then as universes and then back as planets again, its as if the devs themselves couldn't decide what they are supposed to be. And even the explination that the worlds from X1 and X2 were once together and then they seperated only to come back together again completely contradicts the entire story of those two games.
Other than your first point which was clearly an oversight you're completely wrong on everything else. When the universes split they were 100% identical then split off into their own futures as explained by Nia. Then when they started to come back together they started to overlap once more like tracing paper. And no the explanation that the world's from X1 and X2 once being 1 universe then seperating only to come back together does not contradict the original story because this was literally explained in XB2. When Klaus activated the trinity processor he tore a hole in reality ripping it in 2 including himself and Galea/Mayneth, because that wasn't supposed to happen, once the conduit left XB2's timeline the cosmos started to heal itself like a bloody wound. The story isn't full of plot holes, just giant holes in mechonis sword.
Way I see it, Z is more or less a side effect of the collective souls within Origin. They formed a physical body and ego to bring about a completely stable world, but had no control over Origin's systems without the access either queen can grant.
wanna bet origin core is Ontos and Pnuma, Mia clearly said contain all world data, and we all know what it is, from species to culture, so uroboros and mobius use power of aegis, i mean its obvious the way they united become one is like Pyra and Mythra
seems like it kinda like backing up all your save data to a cloud server (origin) before wiping the hard drive (both worlds colliding) except the ISP (Consul Z) cut off the internet mid way of transferring the save data to the server causing the transfer data to glitch and stay stuck between 50% lol
Agree I was wondering why Nia became the queen of Agnus I feel that Zeke should of been the ruler of Agnus because he royalty like Melia I don’t know why the developers wanted Nia to become queen of Agnus it made sense for someone of royalty to become a ruler like Zeke .
Mio, Taion, Sena: your Majesty Noah, Lanz, Eunie: it honored to meet you queen of Agnis Nia: nice to meet three of you (Nia looking at sora) Nia: sora Sora: what Nia what no way you're the queen now Nia: yes I am sora Mio: wait you know her sora Sora: yeah it was before I met her and here what she look like (Sora pass his phone to Mio) Mio: whoa really Nia: it was long time ago Sora: yep and that's her blade so Nia how are they doing
Nia: they're fine and you did you find her Sora: huh Nia: kairi Sora: oh no no I didn't but I'm fine still Noah: who kairi Sora: will uh Mio passed to Noah Mio: oh sorry and how did you get all of these pictures Sora: (Chuckle) uh so the fact that we were like being there with your parents or friends and now y'all Mio: so that it and also here your phone Sora: thanks

Their voice actors gave it away immediately. Though I thought they were references/cameos. It’s nice that it’s heavily implied these two are the actual characters from their respective games.

Well Melia was empress of the high entia and it could just have been that when the world was recreated the people of Xeno 1 decided to unite and just make her queen of the land but for Xeno 2 no clue
I think her having an extended lifespan and saving the world before helped
blades and titans have long lifespans, but they don’t live forever and also will lose their memories over time. pyra/mythra probably chose to die alongside rex, so then that leaves successful flesh eaters as the only “true” immortals. and successful flesh eaters are inconceivably rare, nia probably being the only one. nia becomes queen because she ends up knowing the most about the world.
as for melia, i think that’s obvious. she became empress of the high entia, and once all the races came together as one society, her high status among the high entia transfered over
@@SuperEljafru Well Melia I can understand. I was just wondering about Nia. Either way thanks for letting me know.
Well Melia it makes sense because she was already queen of the remaining high entia and maybe people eventually broke down the barriers and all fell under that umbrella. Nia on the other hand is a weird case, a lot could’ve happened and we frankly have no idea.
2:42 the Mechonis Sword still has the gap from when the Annihilator, well Annihlated it! Wonder if they’ll fix that in an update cause that kind of really breaks the lore even if it’s an accident.
LOL true
Oh my gosh i noticed this and scrolled into the comments to see if anyone else did too!
That's a hilarious inconsistency and yeah I really hope they fix it cause it makes no sense xD
I wanted to cut J and D half for that cheap shot. When I got up there and saw Nia was fine I remembered she’s traded blows with Malos, Jin, and Super Amalthus needless to say she’s survived worse than a couple of spirit store knockoffs. Also love the fact even all these years later she’s still the same lovable spitfire, although still wondering how she became the ultimate ruler of Agnus I mean taking out the major threats should garner some hero worship but sovereignty I don’t think so.
Yooo drifting soul omg I got so excited
It’s funny to see how this game resulted to this because. If you think about it look at the picture for the game on switch then xenoblade 2s image
They both have the titan in them just in 3s version it’s on the side of the sword look carefully
It was great seeing Nia again but is there a story about her being Queen of Agnus though?
Prob just did over time becaose of her knowledge and kindness. Would you not want her to be Queen? Haha
I've got a better question: how the _spark_ (lol) did she come up with the name (Agnus = lamb, Keves = also lamb, I'd think that's what the Moebius would come up with, not the queens)
@@ArinJager1 I wouldn’t be surprised if she thought it just sounded cool.
If a Xenoblade 2 Definitive Edition happen one day, Monolith Soft could do a Future Connected equivalent to explain that, I guess
@@Minako_Meleph Torna, Xenoblade 2’s side story was a prequel, while DE got a sequel, honestly more interested about 3’s side story, could give hints towards the next installment or flesh out characters even more
The musical callback at 1:50 had me crying
I like that the pod has a similar form to the pod Kos-Mos lies in
My head just exploded and a big smile just came on my face
Look at how Nia talk at the beginning. That's the old Nia we know right there hahaha
I Don’t know if this addressed since I’m not finished the game yet. BUT I like how Z attacks and captures Melia. As it’s stated that Xenoblade 2 side is naturally tougher then their counterparts in Xenoblade 1. We got a really strong high Entia. Which at their core are pretty much Homs/Humans. With a group of Homs defending her. Nias side you have arguably top five strongest blades in Alrest (Bridgette and Mythra if Mythra wasn’t weakened by the separation of her and Pyra. Jin and Malos) Being driven by arguably the greatest driver on the planet. Who can call to might the Flame Bringer, and a living lightning bolt. And the Aegis herself. Again depending on how much being separated weakened Pyra and Mythra.
Yes Shulk and his Monado replica EX. But at their core, you’re going to want to pick a fight with a massively depowered Shulk. Over a full powered Rex with two Aegis's and Nia any day of week.
It’s also said in XC3 that to keep up with Agnians, Kevesi need power frames (those circle things on the Keves characters’ clothes) since they’re physically weaker than Blades, and since most Agnians are seem to share genetics with Blades (most of them have Core Crystals and are inhumanly tough and strong) it makes sense
I get so much chills from that Xenoblade 2 Score! "Drifting Souls!" I almost started shedding tears.
Omg the galaxies merged just like the Milky Way and the Andromeda galaxy will merge in a billion years
Meeting Nia in this game felt like reuniting with an old friend
Tengo una teoría de como sobrevivió Nia por tanto tiempo. Ella es una ''devora Blades'', al igual que Amaltus puede consumir otros blades para obtener poder y alargar su vida, pero a diferencia del gran pretorio, ella debió consumir el cristal de Pyra y Mythra para que los efectos sean más estables y no termine como Amaltus, a parte de que si Rex muere, el cristal de la Egida seria visto por seres con ganas de tener el poder de todo, por eso los consume Nia, luego se devoró los cristales de los blades raros incluyendo al de Dromach, en el caso de Poppi y su hermana Litta si es que sobrevivió esta misma con el padre de Tora al ataque en la masacre de todo Alrest, debieron estar en el baúl al cuidado de Nia, solo que Litta es mas reservada que Poppi. No he jugado el Xenoblade 3 pero si la 2, recuerden que esto es solo una teoría, puede que el juego diga otra cosa.
Amigo, te volaste el coco 😅
@@lanzer0274 pero valió la pena, literalmente valió la pena xD
A cute detail is that, i believe in nias pod room, theres a statue of dromarch somewhere.
Even if hes gone, he watches over his driver to the end.
A great video to have in your recommendations while you still play the game and haven't reached this part 😂
i remember grinning like an idiot during that first scene lmao, welcome back nia
What a bunch if newbs. Aim for the core crystal next time
0:52 ah nia. Still the same. Absolutely love her
Funny how mobius do not know what nia is as a whole, did they really think a blade could die from being stabbed in organic body parts, jin is the only person who could kill a blade
To be fair as a Flesh Eater Nia theoretically has lost most of her natural regeneration, along with her immortality.
Just so happens that her flesh eater ability is crazy cellular regeneration.
Plus there's an unclear amount of time between the first two games and 3, knowledge of Blades and Flesh Eaters could have easily faded, especially since no 'traditional' Blades are around in Aionios and Nia is probably the only successful Flesh Eater left.
@@noodle4542 i mean, most Agnians are technically Blades, but not in the traditional sense, yes
@@noodle4542 nia still has her crazy regeneration, just not immortality (though shed still be much older than a mortal). And her crazy regen is just enhanced by her healing abilitied
fun fact: nias voice actor is my drama teacher
If you do actually know Catrin Mai-Huw (how do you pronounce her last name?) personally, please let her know we love her work in the Xenoblade game series. Her voice acting was a thing of beauty in Xenoblade Chronicles 2 and 3.
What happened with Dromarch?
But what happened to Rex and the other main characters of Xenoblade 2? Why Nia and Poppi still alive while the rest don't?
They died 😢
I find it funny that Nia gets shot and you arent even worried about her if you played xenoblade 2.
The theme that plays....is the same theme from when she confessed to rex
wait wait is that melia too?
Yes.!
The story is full of plot holes and inconsistencies; Showing a flashback of the X1 and X2 worlds before they collided, yet the landmarks in the background are clearly the same as the present day Aionios (even the Mechonis sword has the hole that just got blown up durring the main story).
The two worlds are first depicted as planets, then as universes and then back as planets again, its as if the devs themselves couldn't decide what they are supposed to be.
And even the explination that the worlds from X1 and X2 were once together and then they seperated only to come back together again completely contradicts the entire story of those two games.
Yeah I noticed too, the story is a convoluted mess.
You did not understand anything, surely you do not even know that Origin is literally Noah's ark
@@legendarywolf4882
Stupidest thing I've ever read 🤦♂️🤦♂️. Move on.
@@legendarywolf4882
Ugghh, what 🤦♂️🤦♂️
Other than your first point which was clearly an oversight you're completely wrong on everything else.
When the universes split they were 100% identical then split off into their own futures as explained by Nia. Then when they started to come back together they started to overlap once more like tracing paper.
And no the explanation that the world's from X1 and X2 once being 1 universe then seperating only to come back together does not contradict the original story because this was literally explained in XB2. When Klaus activated the trinity processor he tore a hole in reality ripping it in 2 including himself and Galea/Mayneth, because that wasn't supposed to happen, once the conduit left XB2's timeline the cosmos started to heal itself like a bloody wound.
The story isn't full of plot holes, just giant holes in mechonis sword.
I may have forgotten but where did Z come from? I thought he was already part of Origin? Why did he need to capture Melia in order to control it?
its probably like how the trinity processor was made to govern the conduit but still needed a real person to activate it
@@pizzapoosta yeah that's the conclusion i came up with. thanks !!
Likely to bypass limiters placed by the queens.
Way I see it, Z is more or less a side effect of the collective souls within Origin. They formed a physical body and ego to bring about a completely stable world, but had no control over Origin's systems without the access either queen can grant.
Goddamn it, now it's spoiled for me.
I wasn't even looking for this; it just showed up in my recommendations, and I wasn't even searching Xenoblade!
5:23 Tora!!!!
The music when you enter the cloud keep😭😭😭😭
Bruh I can't wait to play!!!!!!!
i play now bro
Nice one on spoiling yourself
@@jayjaysheroah2485 It's ok in my opinion, beat the game already, not going to start a new game. Xeno2 is much better in my book.
Can't believe she gets Zephirin'd like five minutes in
Nia is still around! Dang where has she been again
My kitty has grown up.
(stunned stuttering)
One of the quotes of all time
It's a shame for nia. She lost everyone including her husband rex
Ain’t no freakin way I was right
HALF MORBIUS?!?!?!???!?!?!?!??
Yes because of Mio and M merging with each other. So Mio’s Iris is half Aganian on the top half and half Moebius on the bottom half.
wanna bet origin core is Ontos and Pnuma, Mia clearly said contain all world data, and we all know what it is, from species to culture, so uroboros and mobius use power of aegis, i mean its obvious the way they united become one is like Pyra and Mythra
this is the biggest spoile of my life. not even me crying about shodow in sonic 2. I'm actually not sad but happy
So they were gunna die so they but knowledge in an ark but Z dude stop time??
seems like it
kinda like backing up all your save data to a cloud server (origin) before wiping the hard drive (both worlds colliding)
except the ISP (Consul Z) cut off the internet mid way of transferring the save data to the server
causing the transfer data to glitch and stay stuck between 50% lol
Bruh as soon as I heard the Welsh I was like y a s m y q u e e n r e t u r n s !

Way to ruin the joke.
Anyone know the name of the song playing around the 10 min mark?
The pod she sleeps in e.e ik it turns into a damn bike just they choose not too XD
So tora built origin
Imagine if Nia died right there. I hadnt played XBC2 Before this, 😂😂😂😂
why nia become queen?
Agree I was wondering why Nia became the queen of Agnus I feel that Zeke should of been the ruler of Agnus because he royalty like Melia I don’t know why the developers wanted Nia to become queen of Agnus it made sense for someone of royalty to become a ruler like Zeke .
Mio, Taion, Sena: your Majesty
Noah, Lanz, Eunie: it honored to meet you queen of Agnis
Nia: nice to meet three of you
(Nia looking at sora)
Nia: sora
Sora: what Nia what no way you're the queen now
Nia: yes I am sora
Mio: wait you know her sora
Sora: yeah it was before I met her and here what she look like
(Sora pass his phone to Mio)
Mio: whoa really
Nia: it was long time ago
Sora: yep and that's her blade so Nia how are they doing
Nia: they're fine and you did you find her
Sora: huh
Nia: kairi
Sora: oh no no I didn't but I'm fine still
Noah: who kairi
Sora: will uh Mio passed to Noah
Mio: oh sorry and how did you get all of these pictures
Sora: (Chuckle) uh so the fact that we were like being there with your parents or friends and now y'all
Mio: so that it and also here your phone
Sora: thanks
what happen to rex , pyra ,mythra ?
I'm not gonna shout SPOILERS!
cause this was not a surprise
If you have eyes and played 1 & 2
The mask of queen keves
And the Colors of Queen Agnus
Are dead giveaways
Their voice actors gave it away immediately. Though I thought they were references/cameos. It’s nice that it’s heavily implied these two are the actual characters from their respective games.
This guy gets it!
Does anyone know the music when she explains the state of the worlds?
It's Melia Ancient memory
I completely forgot about her power..
or is there at least a way to full block chancels such as this one?
THE MUSICAL REFERENCES OMG
Thanks you spoiled me
