I think a lot of the earlier chapter names are better here including the prologue to epilogue. If you combine the sword in hand with his crossing swords I like the idea of sword always being used when the chapter is in sword valley
I have an offer for Chapter 10. "Ghosts of the Past." It has multiple meanings. We go to Ose Tower (where Shulk's family died), Fiora/Meyneth (whom we believed is dead) meet the party, Mumkhar returns (you know where I'm going with this), Egil appears, etc.

20:17 well the german title for Xeno 2’s last chapter is ‘Sein letztes Geschenk’ which translates to ‘His last gift’ and I personally like this title way more then the english one.
Kinda surprised there wasn't a chapter named just "Metal" or "METAL" in all caps if you wanna be extra. I like the multiple puns of "Crossing Swords" but I think this list is missing something that'll make you laugh as well as cry. "And Thus, Boy Met Girl" is my favourite chapter title in 2 because that's exactly how I reacted when it popped up after the post-credits scene.
Considering Xenoblade 2 had quite appropriate and thematic chapter names, I find it weird for the first game to not have them. 2:10 Don't worry, mate; I'm sure a far few of us have already watched the entirety of Emile's Xenoblade Wii LP, and are now enjoying his Xenoblade 2 LP - or, in my case, watched his Xenoblade LP then picked up Xenoblade 2 and loved it.
Thoughts on chapter 6 as "To Scale a Titan" and chapter 13 as "To Fell a Titan"? I feel it preserves the proposed "Bionis vs. Mechonis" dynamic and fits that oh so sweet Xeno poetic-ness. Still torn as to whether the goal by 13 is actually still to kill Mechonis, given Shulk's pacifism against Mumkhar just the chapter before? Maybe I just like cool relations between titles lol
Man, speaking chills, I STILL get them whenever I think of the final chapter title of Xenoblade 2. That was a masterstroke on the part of the translators.
I will try my own chapternames I think. I will put explanations for each name and I will base them on the video, so if I am not giving a chapter a name, then it will be the one from Luxin. Chapter3:Vision The visionmechanic is explained in more detail and put into gameplay. Furthermore, alvis basically gives shulk a vision for the end of the game in an abstract way and at the end of the chapter, shulk gets a metaphorical and literal look(Or vision) at his goal. Chapter9:Xenoblade Chronicles Yeah, I am blowing my load here and I will certainly not regret it. No, this is not only a funny titledrop and a convinient way to get the english gamename into the japanese version(In a parallel universe where I decided what they are doing with the game), but also a cornerstone for the entire story. We are learning a lot about the backstory and the monado itself where the chronicles-part comes from. However, it also is the first hint outside the titlescreen that something is off. It calls the monado xenoblade, so it must come from somewhere else. If the player would assume it is just a titledrop, then they would not catch that detail but it is amazing for a second playthrough. Also, a titledrop fits because it is the point when the narrative does a 180. It becomes more about saving what is left than avenging what is already gone. Chapter11:Blades interlocked The title is literally the same as in the video, but I just want to change the words because the new writing of the title is a reference towards the xenoblade and an equivalent meeting(Which is also a passive callback to the fight of the titans with that), while still keeping all the other symbolisms. Chapter13: Mechonis, foe of the beginning. The same as Luxins title except that I added a subtitle. This will make more sense later on. Chapter14:Vengance and Betrayal. This is ironically the part where Shulk getting vengance becomes a backburner, the plot is basically about everything else. However, this is a bait and switch and the title actually refers to egil. He acts purely out of revenge against bionis and also says that everyone on the titan betrayed him, even tho he actually betrayed them. Final Clash:Change the future Sorry Luxin, XCX is getting done dirty today. I just think that it fits better here, because it basically is about changing the future of destruction and coming close to the best possible outcome, just for chapter 16(The curse of Zanza)to say "no, this is not happening". It just has thematic relevance. As for the final clash, I think it is a decent bait as it is accurate and also does not downright state it is the end of the game, just the end of the clash between Shulk and mechonis. Chapter17/Final Chapter:Bionis, god of the end. Now we are talking about why I called mechonis the foe of the beginning. I just wanted to build up to the yin and yang of the two titans and also reference the opposite approaches of the gods. Both want to create new worlds, but while meyneth wants to build forwards into the future(Beginning), Zanza wants to achive his goal by destroying the past instead(The end). God of the end also fits the thematic of the plot at the moment, that the world is gone if the groop does not hurry up. (New chaptersplit)Endgame:Monado-Beginning of the world. Yeah, I am cheating here. This is a new chaptersplit where the chapter begins right before the fight against Zanza and ends right before the epilogue. The reason I wanted "Monado" in there was because it builds suspence as everything about the chapter is monado and I think alvis needs some kind of mention in this. It is also the entire original gametitle instead of only part of it, so that is an added bonus. About the endgame-thing...I just got inspired by fire emblem because in some games, the final map is not called final map but instead "endgame". And I just did both titles because yes. And it essencially is correct too because this new chapter is just the end of the previous one.
You should do a video about (spoilers for 1 + 2) What parts of each game happen at the same time. (example is when Shulk and Rex kill their boss at the same time)
Super late, but I think that's near impossible. Discounting the entire cameo Blades thing, the closest we can possibly get is that Shulk gets the True Monado first, kills Zanza, then Aion boss fight, then the end for both stories happens. The only contact we ever have between them IS the iconic line Shulk gives before ending Zanza. And even then, Shulk and Rex have little syncing other than their finales just so happen to coincide. Not to say your idea is a bad thought, just a weird coincidence if it were possible.
I like all your titles, I’d keep most of them but these are my changes Prologue: Endless sea 1: Homs 2: Metal 3: Our enemy 4: Refugees 5: This is for you 6: Bionis 7: Ether 8: Hope of the High Entia 9: Shackles 10: Where it all began 11: Crossing Swords 12: Reunions 13: Mechonis 14: Change the future 15: The cycle 16: The curse 17: Beginning of the world Epilogue: Boundless sky
I really like these, I think chapter 14 should be called "Souls" or "Spirits" because its revealed that Fiora has two souls and Egil proclaims at the end to become the new soul of the Mechinis. Actually maybe "Soul of the Mechonis" would work too
I just finished DE this past week and I have to say, since I got into the series with XC2 when I first got my Switch, I wouldn't understand these games if it weren't for you and Enel. You guys are both awesome, your insights and theories are so well thought out and backed up!
I remember thinking that the game would end with fighting Metal Face on top of Mechonis as I thought the vision of the fight was on Mechonis and not prison island
Heres what i think: Prolouge: Conflict Chapter I: Serenity Chapter II: Tragedy Chapter III: Our enemy Chapter IV: A Homs struggle Chapter V: We can change it Chapter VI: The Marsh Chapter VII: The girl in the woods Chapter VIII: The heir apparent Chapter IX: End of the beginning Chapter X: Ghosts of the past Chapter XI: The clash of swords Chapter XII: What was lost is found Chapter XIII: The world of metal Chapter XIV: The future is ours Chapter XV: The tragic descision Chapter XVI: At worlds end Chapter XVII: The Beginning of the world Epilogue: A new sunrise
For me I haven't been watching much lately bc I haven't played Future Connected yet I'll be sure to bingewatch what I've missed once I have You're one of my favourite YTers I wouldn't want to miss your content
Really good ideas there. My only one I had once I started watching was "Beyond the Sky" for the ending cutscene, which is kinda similar to what you had, but in reference to the amazing song that plays
I’d personally rename chapter 3 to “sight” or “vision” or something as that’s the chapter where visions start to become a focal point in both story and gameplay. I also want a chapter title to have the word telethia in there somewhere. I think chapter 16 could be named bionis as while not stating zanza, does elude to him and the now hostile nature of the bionis
I really like your videos, it’s like the meme from always sunny how you’re connecting points, a fan who’s on crack over his love with these games, can respect that
2:50 that seems complete,y believable, considering that i never saw any notifications for your channel, leading me to completely forget about your channel for for about 3 month's despite that fact that I'm literally subscribed to you.
I actually came up with my own chapter names a little while back, before I even knew this video was a thing. Like 2, I sort of erred towards short phrases or words, and I had difficulty coming up with good titles for things like Ch6... but with your permission, I'd like for you to see my stab at things. Chapter 1: Monado Chapter 2: Assault Chapter 3: Visions Chapter 4: Those Left Behind Chapter 5: Faces Chapter 6: Chosen One Chapter 7: Heavy Lies the Head Chapter 8: Succession Chapter 9: Unbound Chapter 10: An Invitation Chapter 11: War's Wage Chapter 12: Love Chapter 13: Loss, Found Chapter 14: Nothing Beside Remains Chapter 15: Successor Chapter 16: Zanza Chapter 17: The Beginning of the World
I think another good name for chapter 17 is the end and the beginning. I know it is probably a bit spoilery but thinking about that title gives me chills. It works really well because Klaus ended one universe and made a new one and Shulk did the same thing practically. I think it would also get the player thinking.
dam, the chapter names you came up with Luxin were really close to the ones I have thought of for my (attempt) at a novelization of xc1 that i have been making as a side project for a friend who can't experience the games for herself. Thanks for the naming help.
I'm stupid late, but I'd like to give my own two cents on the naming adventure. Prologue: Homs Vs Mechon Ch. 1: Our Life Ch. 2: War Ch. 3: Lost Ch. 4: Smoke Ch. 5: Ether (though This is for You is better) Ch. 6: The Bionis Ch. 7: The Dinobeast Ch. 8: High Entia Ch. 9: Battle of the Sea (though I still like Heir to the Monado) Ch. 10: Split Paths (Dunban and Mumkhar, Shulk and Fiora, Melia and her brother) Ch. 11: Battle of Sword Valley Ch. 12: Take My Hand (though Reunions is better) Ch. 13: The Mechonis Ch. 14: The Future is Ours Ch. 15: Still Alive Ch. 16: Wrath of a God Ch. 17: The New Beginnings Epilogue: Homs and Machina After story: Futures Connected Out of all of these, I like Ch. 3's Lost is my favorite, with Ch. 10's Split Paths being my second favorite, but your list is great and most certainly better than mine.
wtf how was I not subscribed!? I follow you on twitter and I use RUclips more than that! Sometimes I think that old youtube bug that randomly unsubs people is still around.

Hey just wanted to throw my voice out there, I think it’d be really cool if you would have a Halloween video. As for the video itself, I have a couple of ideas; Nopon hunger games, which xenoblade swordsman/woman would carve the best pumpkin, or the purge but in xc2 to name a few
Chapter Timestamps Prologue: An endless sea (3:38) 4:33 Chapter Ⅰ: Colony 9 5:46 Chapter Ⅱ: Face 6:39 Chapter Ⅲ: Enmity 7:17 Chapter Ⅳ: Colony 6 7:42 Chapter Ⅴ: This is for you 8:26 Chapter Ⅵ: Past and Future 9:05 Chapter Ⅶ: The Lady in the Woods 10:44 Chapter Ⅷ: Heir of the High Entia 11:22 Chapter Ⅸ: Heir of the Manado 12:16 Chapter Ⅹ: Where it all began 15:11 Chapter Ⅺ: Crossing Swords 16:06 Chapter Ⅺ: Reunions 16:19 Chapter Ⅻ: Mechonis 16:42 Chapter ⅩⅣ: Change the future 18:03 Chapter ⅩⅤ: Into the Core 18:54 Chapter ⅩⅥ: The curse of Zanza 19:38 Final Chapter (Chapter ⅩⅦ): The Beginning of the World Epilogue: The Boundless Sky (21:05) After-story: Future Connected (21:05)
I think it woulda been good to have "Final Chapter: Our Destinies" or something along those lines. Since that's a big thing with XC1's story, fighting or forging your own Destiny.
My opinion (before watching): Prologue: The Battle of Sword Valley C1: Locked Power / Titan's Foot (hehe) C2: The Battle of Colony 9 C3: Rage C4: The Bionis C5: The Great Feast C6: The Shimmering Marsh C7: Telethia C8: Ancestry C9: The Battle of Eryth Sea C10: Monado C11: Face C12: Land of the Fallen C13: The Mechonis C14: Shallow Cut C15: Mechonis' Core C16: Hope of the High Entia (Yeah I know it's said in 17 but it still fits and 17 is an egregiously long chapter) C17: Seizing Our Destiny Epilogue 1: Future That Awaits Epilogue 2: Future Connected
My personal names Prologue: The Battle of Sword Valley Chapter One: The Monado Chapter Two: Visions Chapter Three: Fearing the Future Chapter Four: Our Enemy Chapter Five: Faces Chapter Six: Mysteries Chapter Seven: Either Chapter Eight: The High Entia Chapter Nine: Shackles Chapter Ten: Loved Ones Chapter Eleven: Emotions Chapter Twelve: The Fallen Chapter Thirteen: Mechonis Chapter Fourteen: Two Titans Chapter Fifteen: War Chapter Sixteen: The Passage of Fate Chapter Seventeen: A World With No Need For Gods Epilogue: Monado, Beginning of the World
here's what I'd name them: Prologue: An Endless Sea Chapter 1: Our Home Chapter 2: Inheritance Chapter 3: Our Enemy Chapter 4: A Vision Chapter 5: This is For You Chapter 6: The Shimmering Marsh Chapter 7: Ether Chapter 8: Hope of the High Entia Chapter 9: Heir to the Monado Chapter 10: Spirits of the Past Chapter 11: With Blade in Hand Chapter 12: Reunions Chapter 13: A Fallen Civilization Chapter 14: Conflict Chapter 15: Stop Your Blade Chapter 16: Curse of Zanza Chapter 17: What We Wish For Epilogue: A Boundless Sky What do you think?
I'll try naming Xenoblade 1's chapters. Better late than never, I guess. A quick reminder that titles can and often do change drastically between languages so don't be shocked if at least one of these only works in English. Prologue: "The Start of a Chronicle" Ch 1: "Colony Life" Ch 2: "The Mechon Attack" Ch 3: "Our Enemy" Ch 4: "Not Skipping Leg Day" Ch 5: "Saving Lives" Ch 6: "Satorl Marsh" Ch 7: "Lady and the Telethia" Ch 8: "Imperial Perils" Ch 9: "Heir to the Monado" Ch 10: "Familiar Face" Ch 11: "Crossing Swords" Ch 12: "Reunion" Ch 13: "Mechonis" Ch 14: "Agniratha" Ch 15: "Into the Core" Ch 16: "The Impact of a Curse" Ch 17: "Our Own Path" Epilogue: "Forever and Ever"
My idea was the chapter where Zanza would upgrade the Monado to the Monado II would be called “Zanza” and the chapter where he comes back after Mechonis Core would be called “Zanza Returns.” So on a first playthrough you might expect it to be the giant coming back to save the day for our heroes, but it’s a lot deeper than that and it’s Zanza in his god form that returns. The chapter starts/ends might not make this line up though. This would work great if the chapter ended right after Dickson says “You shouldn’t have done that, little brat!” And the next chapter starts right after with the title “Zanza Returns.” That’s just my idea though, but I wanted to put it out there.
Just to say that XC2 is now confirmed to actually have sold over 2 million unit and is still the best selling monolith soft game if I’m correct (at least the best seller in their game that start with xeno)
I would honestly like to name the last chapter something less direct. My suggestions would be "alvis" "God" "meet them all" "space" "system broken" "belongs to whom?" just to name a few
I have an idea for Chapter 15 and 16.(Keep in mind that this is probably a very stupid idea. But hey hoe I like it). Combine Chapter 15 & 16 together so it’s only Chapter 15, so the game will have 16 Chapters in total not 17. And name it: I am you and you are me. It’s a line from Far Cry 3 and I think it fits really well thematically. It refernaces how Egil and Shulk are pretty much the same person (just like how Vaas and Jason from Far Cry 3 were) and how Zanza and Shulk are literally the same person.
Personally i would call chapter 10 "nemisis" fiona is face nemisis, and mumkhar and egil are dunban and shulks nemisi/nemisises (screw the english language) respectivly
I keep thinking that Xenoblade Chronicles would work amazing as an animated series, but the main problem is having the whole story within 1 season. Having every chapter being a single episode would work for the season issue and some of the chapters work out really well in that format but because of the various sizes of some chapters it would make the pacing awful
Wrong. They would all be called "Reyn Time" because it's always Reyn Time.

It has multiple meanings. We go to Ose Tower (where Shulk's family died), Fiora/Meyneth (whom we believed is dead) meet the party, Mumkhar returns (you know where I'm going with this), Egil appears, etc.
I was thinking "Old Wounds" as a title.
@@JohnSmith-cb9hb yeah I loved the part of that cutscene where Nightwing told Robin how he and Batman fell out.
Chapter 7 also has a quote title “The Fear She Carries” which comes from what Addam says in Spirit Crucible Elpys.

Still torn as to whether the goal by 13 is actually still to kill Mechonis, given Shulk's pacifism against Mumkhar just the chapter before? Maybe I just like cool relations between titles lol
12:30 the same thing happened to me when I was watching Shulk jump after Fiora when she fell from the Mechonis base
Man, speaking chills, I STILL get them whenever I think of the final chapter title of Xenoblade 2. That was a masterstroke on the part of the translators.
I liked the chapter names in Xenoblade 2 and it was fun to see you flex your creative muscles and apply chapter names to the first game
I will try my own chapternames I think. I will put explanations for each name and I will base them on the video, so if I am not giving a chapter a name, then it will be the one from Luxin.
Chapter3:Vision
The visionmechanic is explained in more detail and put into gameplay. Furthermore, alvis basically gives shulk a vision for the end of the game in an abstract way and at the end of the chapter, shulk gets a metaphorical and literal look(Or vision) at his goal.
Chapter9:Xenoblade Chronicles
Yeah, I am blowing my load here and I will certainly not regret it. No, this is not only a funny titledrop and a convinient way to get the english gamename into the japanese version(In a parallel universe where I decided what they are doing with the game), but also a cornerstone for the entire story.

Also, a titledrop fits because it is the point when the narrative does a 180. It becomes more about saving what is left than avenging what is already gone.

The title is literally the same as in the video, but I just want to change the words because the new writing of the title is a reference towards the xenoblade and an equivalent meeting(Which is also a passive callback to the fight of the titans with that), while still keeping all the other symbolisms.
Chapter13: Mechonis, foe of the beginning.
The same as Luxins title except that I added a subtitle. This will make more sense later on.
Chapter14:Vengance and Betrayal.
This is ironically the part where Shulk getting vengance becomes a backburner, the plot is basically about everything else. However, this is a bait and switch and the title actually refers to egil. He acts purely out of revenge against bionis and also says that everyone on the titan betrayed him, even tho he actually betrayed them.
Final Clash:Change the future
Sorry Luxin, XCX is getting done dirty today. I just think that it fits better here, because it basically is about changing the future of destruction and coming close to the best possible outcome, just for chapter 16(The curse of Zanza)to say "no, this is not happening". It just has thematic relevance. As for the final clash, I think it is a decent bait as it is accurate and also does not downright state it is the end of the game, just the end of the clash between Shulk and mechonis.
Chapter17/Final Chapter:Bionis, god of the end.
Now we are talking about why I called mechonis the foe of the beginning. I just wanted to build up to the yin and yang of the two titans and also reference the opposite approaches of the gods. Both want to create new worlds, but while meyneth wants to build forwards into the future(Beginning), Zanza wants to achive his goal by destroying the past instead(The end). God of the end also fits the thematic of the plot at the moment, that the world is gone if the groop does not hurry up.
(New chaptersplit)Endgame:Monado-Beginning of the world.
Yeah, I am cheating here. This is a new chaptersplit where the chapter begins right before the fight against Zanza and ends right before the epilogue. The reason I wanted "Monado" in there was because it builds suspence as everything about the chapter is monado and I think alvis needs some kind of mention in this. It is also the entire original gametitle instead of only part of it, so that is an added bonus.

And it essencially is correct too because this new chapter is just the end of the previous one.
Chapter 1 should be called 'tasteless' because shulk doesn't know how to eat a sandwich
He’ll say it’s delicious even if it’s stone. Even if it’s coal. Even if it’s Riki.
You should do a video about (spoilers for 1 + 2)
What parts of each game happen at the same time. (example is when Shulk and Rex kill their boss at the same time)
Super late, but I think that's near impossible. Discounting the entire cameo Blades thing, the closest we can possibly get is that Shulk gets the True Monado first, kills Zanza, then Aion boss fight, then the end for both stories happens. The only contact we ever have between them IS the iconic line Shulk gives before ending Zanza. And even then, Shulk and Rex have little syncing other than their finales just so happen to coincide. Not to say your idea is a bad thought, just a weird coincidence if it were possible.
I like all your titles, I’d keep most of them but these are my changes
Prologue: Endless sea
1: Homs
2: Metal
3: Our enemy
4: Refugees
5: This is for you
6: Bionis
7: Ether
8: Hope of the High Entia
9: Shackles
10: Where it all began
11: Crossing Swords
12: Reunions
13: Mechonis
14: Change the future
15: The cycle
16: The curse
17: Beginning of the world
Epilogue: Boundless sky
I just think about that now, it's a shame that the Melia figure does'nt do a Starlight Kick.
So how much would you pay melia to starlight kick you? Asking for a friend
I would name the final chapter "The God-Slaying Sword"
I really like these, I think chapter 14 should be called "Souls" or "Spirits" because its revealed that Fiora has two souls and Egil proclaims at the end to become the new soul of the Mechinis. Actually maybe "Soul of the Mechonis" would work too
I just finished DE this past week and I have to say, since I got into the series with XC2 when I first got my Switch, I wouldn't understand these games if it weren't for you and Enel. You guys are both awesome, your insights and theories are so well thought out and backed up!
I remember thinking that the game would end with fighting Metal Face on top of Mechonis as I thought the vision of the fight was on Mechonis and not prison island
Heres what i think:
Prolouge: Conflict
Chapter I: Serenity
Chapter II: Tragedy
Chapter III: Our enemy
Chapter IV: A Homs struggle
Chapter V: We can change it
Chapter VI: The Marsh
Chapter VII: The girl in the woods
Chapter VIII: The heir apparent
Chapter IX: End of the beginning
Chapter X: Ghosts of the past
Chapter XI: The clash of swords
Chapter XII: What was lost is found
Chapter XIII: The world of metal
Chapter XIV: The future is ours
Chapter XV: The tragic descision
Chapter XVI: At worlds end
Chapter XVII: The Beginning of the world
Epilogue: A new sunrise
For me I haven't been watching much lately bc I haven't played Future Connected yet
I'll be sure to bingewatch what I've missed once I have
You're one of my favourite YTers I wouldn't want to miss your content
Really good ideas there. My only one I had once I started watching was "Beyond the Sky" for the ending cutscene, which is kinda similar to what you had, but in reference to the amazing song that plays
I’d personally rename chapter 3 to “sight” or “vision” or something as that’s the chapter where visions start to become a focal point in both story and gameplay. I also want a chapter title to have the word telethia in there somewhere. I think chapter 16 could be named bionis as while not stating zanza, does elude to him and the now hostile nature of the bionis
I really like your videos, it’s like the meme from always sunny how you’re connecting points, a fan who’s on crack over his love with these games, can respect that
2:50 that seems complete,y believable, considering that i never saw any notifications for your channel, leading me to completely forget about your channel for for about 3 month's despite that fact that I'm literally subscribed to you.
I actually came up with my own chapter names a little while back, before I even knew this video was a thing. Like 2, I sort of erred towards short phrases or words, and I had difficulty coming up with good titles for things like Ch6... but with your permission, I'd like for you to see my stab at things.
Chapter 1: Monado
Chapter 2: Assault
Chapter 3: Visions
Chapter 4: Those Left Behind
Chapter 5: Faces
Chapter 6: Chosen One
Chapter 7: Heavy Lies the Head
Chapter 8: Succession
Chapter 9: Unbound
Chapter 10: An Invitation
Chapter 11: War's Wage
Chapter 12: Love
Chapter 13: Loss, Found
Chapter 14: Nothing Beside Remains
Chapter 15: Successor
Chapter 16: Zanza
Chapter 17: The Beginning of the World
I think another good name for chapter 17 is the end and the beginning. I know it is probably a bit spoilery but thinking about that title gives me chills. It works really well because Klaus ended one universe and made a new one and Shulk did the same thing practically. I think it would also get the player thinking.
I would've loved if the game forces you to nighttime beforethe start of chapter 2 so you could call it "Night Raid"
dam, the chapter names you came up with Luxin were really close to the ones I have thought of for my (attempt) at a novelization of xc1 that i have been making as a side project for a friend who can't experience the games for herself. Thanks for the naming help.
how is that going? i’m really interested in reading it ^^
@@twiilit_ well as i decided to make a book of my own the project kind of stopped. as it turns out I am a writer now.
I’d love to see more xenogears/Xenosaga videos 🥳 love your content
I'm stupid late, but I'd like to give my own two cents on the naming adventure.
Prologue: Homs Vs Mechon
Ch. 1: Our Life
Ch. 2: War
Ch. 3: Lost
Ch. 4: Smoke
Ch. 5: Ether (though This is for You is better)
Ch. 6: The Bionis
Ch. 7: The Dinobeast
Ch. 8: High Entia
Ch. 9: Battle of the Sea (though I still like Heir to the Monado)
Ch. 10: Split Paths (Dunban and Mumkhar, Shulk and Fiora, Melia and her brother)
Ch. 11: Battle of Sword Valley
Ch. 12: Take My Hand (though Reunions is better)
Ch. 13: The Mechonis
Ch. 14: The Future is Ours
Ch. 15: Still Alive
Ch. 16: Wrath of a God
Ch. 17: The New Beginnings
Epilogue: Homs and Machina
After story: Futures Connected
Out of all of these, I like Ch. 3's Lost is my favorite, with Ch. 10's Split Paths being my second favorite, but your list is great and most certainly better than mine.
wtf how was I not subscribed!? I follow you on twitter and I use RUclips more than that! Sometimes I think that old youtube bug that randomly unsubs people is still around.
Ech, the frozen scene at Valak Mountain (no pun intended) reminds me of when the scene where I fought Xord in the Mine froze for me...
I would name chapter 17 "The Decicion" to parallel the best cutscene in Xeno 2
Before watching:
Prologue: The Battle of Sword Valley
1: Hidden Power
2: Awakening
3: Our Enemy
4: Visions of the Future
5: Our Banquet Hall
6: The Phosphorescent Land
7: Telethia
8: The Hope of the High Entia
9: Releasing the Shackles
10: Heir to the Monado
11: Leap of Faith
12: Reunion
13: The Will of the World
14: The End of the Faces
15: Divine Revelations
16: Convergence
17: Seizing the Future
Epilogue: A Boundless World
Hey just wanted to throw my voice out there, I think it’d be really cool if you would have a Halloween video. As for the video itself, I have a couple of ideas; Nopon hunger games, which xenoblade swordsman/woman would carve the best pumpkin, or the purge but in xc2 to name a few
Subscribed. Good stuff, king.
Crossing Swords could be replaced with Clashimg Steel if you'd want a Torna reference

I think it woulda been good to have "Final Chapter: Our Destinies" or something along those lines. Since that's a big thing with XC1's story, fighting or forging your own Destiny.
These names are quite good. I like the references and punny titles, too.
My opinion (before watching):
Prologue: The Battle of Sword Valley
C1: Locked Power / Titan's Foot (hehe)
C2: The Battle of Colony 9
C3: Rage
C4: The Bionis
C5: The Great Feast
C6: The Shimmering Marsh
C7: Telethia
C8: Ancestry
C9: The Battle of Eryth Sea
C10: Monado
C11: Face
C12: Land of the Fallen
C13: The Mechonis
C14: Shallow Cut
C15: Mechonis' Core
C16: Hope of the High Entia (Yeah I know it's said in 17 but it still fits and 17 is an egregiously long chapter)
C17: Seizing Our Destiny
Epilogue 1: Future That Awaits
Epilogue 2: Future Connected
In all honesty I think
"our enemy" works better as the name for chapter 3
My personal names
Prologue: The Battle of Sword Valley
Chapter One: The Monado
Chapter Two: Visions
Chapter Three: Fearing the Future
Chapter Four: Our Enemy
Chapter Five: Faces
Chapter Six: Mysteries
Chapter Seven: Either
Chapter Eight: The High Entia
Chapter Nine: Shackles
Chapter Ten: Loved Ones
Chapter Eleven: Emotions
Chapter Twelve: The Fallen
Chapter Thirteen: Mechonis
Chapter Fourteen: Two Titans
Chapter Fifteen: War
Chapter Sixteen: The Passage of Fate
Chapter Seventeen: A World With No Need For Gods
Epilogue: Monado, Beginning of the World
15:46 figurative, literal, and punny. My favorite title
It would be so EPIC if "Xenoblade Chronicles 9" ends and you realise that it leads to "Xenoblade Chronicles X"
Watch the next Xenoblade game be numbered 7
here's what I'd name them:
Prologue: An Endless Sea
Chapter 1: Our Home
Chapter 2: Inheritance
Chapter 3: Our Enemy
Chapter 4: A Vision
Chapter 5: This is For You
Chapter 6: The Shimmering Marsh
Chapter 7: Ether
Chapter 8: Hope of the High Entia
Chapter 9: Heir to the Monado
Chapter 10: Spirits of the Past
Chapter 11: With Blade in Hand
Chapter 12: Reunions
Chapter 13: A Fallen Civilization
Chapter 14: Conflict
Chapter 15: Stop Your Blade
Chapter 16: Curse of Zanza
Chapter 17: What We Wish For
Epilogue: A Boundless Sky

Chapter 10 being called face to face
I'll try naming Xenoblade 1's chapters. Better late than never, I guess.
A quick reminder that titles can and often do change drastically between languages so don't be shocked if at least one of these only works in English.
Prologue: "The Start of a Chronicle"
Ch 1: "Colony Life"
Ch 2: "The Mechon Attack"
Ch 3: "Our Enemy"
Ch 4: "Not Skipping Leg Day"
Ch 5: "Saving Lives"
Ch 6: "Satorl Marsh"
Ch 7: "Lady and the Telethia"
Ch 8: "Imperial Perils"
Ch 9: "Heir to the Monado"
Ch 10: "Familiar Face"
Ch 11: "Crossing Swords"
Ch 12: "Reunion"
Ch 13: "Mechonis"
Ch 14: "Agniratha"
Ch 15: "Into the Core"
Ch 16: "The Impact of a Curse"
Ch 17: "Our Own Path"
Epilogue: "Forever and Ever"
id call 16 "Telethia". because a zanza thing is way too obvious and the revelation of what telethia are and the kallian moment also happen here
I my self wold call it the begaing fo the end fo the world a new world begians
I like quote titles personally. I would have called chapter 12 "I can see".
My idea was the chapter where Zanza would upgrade the Monado to the Monado II would be called “Zanza” and the chapter where he comes back after Mechonis Core would be called “Zanza Returns.” So on a first playthrough you might expect it to be the giant coming back to save the day for our heroes, but it’s a lot deeper than that and it’s Zanza in his god form that returns. The chapter starts/ends might not make this line up though. This would work great if the chapter ended right after Dickson says “You shouldn’t have done that, little brat!” And the next chapter starts right after with the title “Zanza Returns.” That’s just my idea though, but I wanted to put it out there.
Me who wants a figure of Seven:
Pain
Blade Nia is coming too so maybe Seven??? I consider Seven a much much bigger spoiler than Nia being a flesheater tho
Personally, I'd make chapters one and two have a dichotomy to them. Something like "Greetings" and "Farewells".
Just to say that XC2 is now confirmed to actually have sold over 2 million unit and is still the best selling monolith soft game if I’m correct (at least the best seller in their game that start with xeno)
I would honestly like to name the last chapter something less direct. My suggestions would be "alvis" "God" "meet them all" "space" "system broken" "belongs to whom?" just to name a few
good stuff
12:33 Dunhand
... definitly not exactly what i said when seeing that
Why do I remember you making a “Renaming Xenoblade Chronicles 2 Chapters” video?
And if you never did, will you consider making one?
Same about that Melia figure
Good video
Na the final chapter should be call a world with no gods
I have an idea for Chapter 15 and 16.(Keep in mind that this is probably a very stupid idea. But hey hoe I like it). Combine Chapter 15 & 16 together so it’s only Chapter 15, so the game will have 16 Chapters in total not 17. And name it: I am you and you are me. It’s a line from Far Cry 3 and I think it fits really well thematically. It refernaces how Egil and Shulk are pretty much the same person (just like how Vaas and Jason from Far Cry 3 were) and how Zanza and Shulk are literally the same person.
Personally i would call chapter 10 "nemisis" fiona is face nemisis, and mumkhar and egil are dunban and shulks nemisi/nemisises (screw the english language) respectivly
It always bothered me that 2 has its prologue as chapter 1. It’s way too short.
I keep thinking that Xenoblade Chronicles would work amazing as an animated series, but the main problem is having the whole story within 1 season. Having every chapter being a single episode would work for the season issue and some of the chapters work out really well in that format but because of the various sizes of some chapters it would make the pacing awful
6:02 IS THAT MALOSS?
No?
No. Malos doesn't appear in Xenoblade Chronicles.
@@soundwaves8619 he is talking about the meme that appeared for less than a second
@@Iscore4 oh, I didn't notice that. Thank you!
Where can I get Malos Lost meme or Malost meme?

Naming Chapters ? Really? Lol at this point just lie and claim insider knowledge to at least make entertaining content that hypes us up.
bro what is your problem ???
"Stop having fun and instead do fake and bad content". Nice suggestion m8.
