What are your thoughts on this new trailer for Xenoblade X DE? Do you think the game is canon to the rest of the Klaus games and what are you most excited to experience in this remaster? Let me know down below in the comments!
Awesome video! Had to pause because I don’t want any spoilers. Gave you a shoutout and a big thank you for recommending I get Xenoblade 2 and Torna! I haven’t bought them yet, but I’m definitely planning to!
There was cross over between the series we can say x is in a different universe after 3 happen all timeline are in different places the theory is after what happen in 3 x is a timeline where the whole world changing didn’t happen but stay the same humanity have to go space
28:00 That design though is the exact same model used for the True Ouroborous in FR... except, the one in FR has a few tiny pieces of silver armour starting to appear, pieces which weren't in the Artbook, but do line up with some of the Ares' armour. But the real kicker is in the names of the True Ouroborous model: all the different limbs and parts of the Ouroborous in the game's codes are named "Ouroborous", except the silver armour pieces-- which are called "Ares Armour".
The blue icons to the lower left of the art are added effects during overdrive. Green arts give time bonus, blue arts give big time bonus, purple arts give TP.
Wels and Weltall are two different things. i'm not talking about what they are in gears, because obviously they are different, but they don't share any etymology. "Wels" are a reference to the Science Fition Author Wells, while Weltall is german for the whole world/the universe
9:42 the lttle icon may be exclussive of OD since the blue art looks like a clock that could mean increase the timer and the purpe arts were the natural way to gain tp in the og game based in the counter, and i think it was a multiplier of the hits counting as 100 times counter number
Ahhhh nice catch!! That's probably it since timer, counter, and TP are all factors that affect the overdrive and those are the ones that are shown there as those icons.
@@nishquikpops Correct the blue mini icons are Overdrive exclusive , and the reason why TP is written directly on the Arts Icon is because it costs TP to use.
Let's say Mira is a planet or some kind of world governed by technology like Origin--maybe even Origin itself. Perhaps when the lifehold crash landed onto Mira, all the data within it was integrated into the new receptacle. Origin was built to save and sustain the life of humanity, just like the lifehold. Perhaps when that integration occurred, it assumed the goal of sustaining the lives of the humans who crashed there. While the destroyed lifehold still had enough juice to continue some of its functions like generating biological life or even making new organisms like at the end of X, the all-important admin functions the mims needed to keep going were already transferred over to the new "system." You could almost think of it like a cloud file transfer. This would also loop around to being a really funny joke about the Xenoblade X Limited Edition having a music USB shaped like the lifehold. It effectively became a giant usb drive that plugged into Mira and had all essential data moved over to a new storage medium for management. Man, it was just so diabolical dropping that music video and having Elma use the old XC2 model. They got us so, so good. Makes me wonder when we're gonna see Kos-Mos drop in.
For the cyber pumpkin, I feel like it might not be a mask, but her face, and she's a robot. because she has "B.L.A.D.E" on her suit, but it feels a bit different than a blade member to me, it looks more like a brand, like "our R&D did that". And if that's the case, she'll definitely be called an "Artificial B.L.A.D.E" at some point. And I can totally see a side mission that would be mandatory to progress the main story at some point, that would be the NLA government guys and Lin showing off their new prototype, which comes with a tweaked skell, and those scenes would be that mission, where you're sent off to sylvalum to test her skills, she joins the party, and the Hraesvelgr Skell type is now available for sell. I'm not 100% convinced that's exactly how it'll go, but I doubt they'd edit story cutscenes. Also, its new flight mode might be what's letting us reach the new area. ...unless it's just a different "flight + run" animation
I still genuinely hope that it's a multiverse thing, but I just know it's most likely not because I more or less got a pulse on what I can expect from Monolith at this point.
Original Ares is 100 and copy is Ares 90. Maybe in the Xenoblade X definitive edition we can finally play with the Original Ares 100. That would be great👍
Great vid. Quick Recast is just consuming the green bar to skip on cooldowns. We don't know how you gather energy for the bar tho so it will definitely be another resource management you need to implement in your gameplay style. I won't be surprised if it turns out to be broken in the endgame tho haha
I think you could chalk up the similar ideas of X and 3 in universe is that Origin and its functions in 3 are repurposing of tech and ideas from Klaus' world. Remember Origin was based off of Ontos' processor core. which itself was part of the interface for the Conduit. Ontos, unlike Pnuema and Logos, had vivid recollections of its original world and functions. If you assume that Klaus' Earth and X's Earth are one and the same then you can reasonably assume that Ontos still had data concerning Project Exodus and its Lifeholds that would serve as the basis for Shulk and Tora to make Origin with. You could then extrapolate that the Ouroboros interlinks are adaptations of Ontos' data concerning Ares-type skells specifically the tandem model. Now everything going wrong with Origin, and hypothetically Mira as well, I would say is ultimately tied back to their connections to the Conduit which was misunderstood and misused by everyone who has ever messed with it. Also mimeosomes are full body prosthetics, and their brains are actually core crystals being used for their original purpose. :)
@ It just makes sense for X to be the Switch 2 Xenoblade series like the Klaus trilogy was on the Switch 1. A X2 that fully utilizes the power of Switch 2 would be far more impressive than a slightly bigger Xenoblade 3 with a heavy story focus. It is possible that there are only 2 X games though and maybe X characters join up with characters from the trilogy in Xenoblade 4(with everyone getting mechs somehow). I think people who are arguing whether X will be its own series or join the main series are both wrong because both will eventually happen.
Now the ganglion mentioned the great one a lot, who created most of the Ganglion Xenos ancestors who are humans from Xenoblade 2, but evolved into Xenos after billions of years in the future. The rest of the Saamar Federation are descendants of the galaxy Federation, because they had no problems altering their bodies, and turning themselves into superhumans, which is the evolved into Xenos. Cause I noticed that most of the aliens have the same technology , from Xenoblade 1-3 , and I already figured out that the great one is the architect. They’re also giant mechanical parts, from giant Titans from Xenoblade 1, also the continents are made from the remains of dead Titans. Even myth of Heropon Rikki has been passed on for generations to the Nopon. Not only that , the technology that the humans are using, are very similar to technology Xenoblade 1-3, and the planet is very similar to origin. There’s also the ghost that look very similar to Mobius . Yeah, most of the design and technology was based off of Xenoblade X, which was supposed to be a sequel, but they scrapped the idea and created Xenoblade 2-3 but now they’re trying to reconnect it into a neat little timeline, which was planned out from the beginning.😮😮😮😮😮😮
Also be radio broadcast which was written by the creators of the game and the writers made it perfectly clear that all the games are connected. Long before this version X.
Awesome video! Had to pause because I don’t want any spoilers. Gave you a shoutout and a big thank you for recommending I get Xenoblade 2 and Torna! I haven’t bought them yet, but I’m definitely planning to!
I know one thing already knew that Xenoblade X was Canon, it was mainly because of all the cameos, the hints in most of the Xeno series, and the radio broadcast which confirms that all the games are canon. And I found out from other fans, that the creator of the entire series, plan is out back in the 90s about making six games that exist in the same universe at different time..(he actually added more games) Which he has already done and connecting all the games together with the radio broadcast to make that perfectly clear . 1# Xenoblade 1 2# Xenoblade 2 3# Xenoblade 3 Which takes place in a pocket dimension for 4000 years . #4 Xeno Saga 1 #5 Xeno Saga 2 #6 Xeno Saga 3 Which takes place 4000 years in the future, in the rest of the universe. Xeno Gears : takes place 10,000 years in the future, in the starting cut scene, which happens exactly the same time and date as Xeno Saga 1, the same ship that was mentioned in the radio broadcast went to the edge of the galaxy to colonize a planet, but it was destroyed by some type of monster that came from the Red Zohar. But it also re-created humans, on that planet, which took 10,000 years. And Xenoblade X: is billions of years in the future, as a game literally tells you 4 1/2 billion years on earth, but it’s one of the colonized planets that was renamed after earth after it disappeared for 4000 years over 500,000 planets were colonized earth 2.0 was one of those planets. The main reason they don’t remember this history, is because half the universe was destroyed by a giant Gnosis the size of multiple planets, destroying about half of the universe, disintegrating planets, and humans like there were nothing. Hence, why the humans don’t remember, and Xenos who are descendants, of the galaxy Federation and the original earth/ Mira.
Iirc the 2 NeilNail Skells have the ability to manipulate time. Now i wonder if there are some time shenanigans going on in the plot. I think , the Black Knight got scrapped for good. The dude at the beach with Lao is clearly the Lone Hero who went missing after he got defeated on the white whale by ghosts , right before the white whale crashed down on Mira. This is also the reason why everyone thought he was dead. The Hraesvelgr (White Samurai Skell with Jet Mode) was originally designated to be the Black Knights Skell , yet now a girl with white suit and a funny mask drives it. So i guess this White Samurai Girl takes over the function that the Black Knight in the concept had , he was supposed to help the BLADE team and is actually on the Qlurian side , IIRC. In any case i bet the Qlu play a bigger role now , and this can maybe also include time shenanigans. That said , judgeing just from the original game , the humans dont have the technology to create the Hraesvelgr ... so who knows where this is really going. As to how anything ties into Origin ... i dont see how it could ... even if time shenanigans are involved. Cuz many like to forget that the Point of Origin for all the Xeno games is the same Earth , so Elma was already on earth 30 years before the Klaus experiment happened . Origin and by extension the XC3FR Ouroboros form simply didnt exist at this point in time.
after ending future redeemed,and the hints in the trailer maybeeeee X is the other dimension where the other shard of the procesosr jumps and dissapear that klaus mention when the dimensional fracture ocurred and the incident that created the dimensiaon of xc1
The Masked Pilot and Qlurian characters give me optional party member vibes. The cutscenes could be from affinity missions which of course can add to the lore but avoid them having to chop up the plot to fit them. I don’t see them straight up altering main story missions but maybe I’m wrong.
I'm hoping to find out if my Cross idea pans out. Spoilers for X, 3, and Gears/Saga My theory is that Zed originates in Mira as "Cross". Cross has no past and never gains insight on it. The world takes place in a seemingly isolated pocket dimension which pulls from different universes within a greater multiverse. U-DO seeks to prevent the heat death of all universes (see Zed's motivations), and if you really get into the weeds on it, the technological advancement and biological evolution is traceable from Gear->Saga->Blade, BUT the timelines are out of whack. Gears should take place after Saga, while the implications of the lost history in Gears nowhere near advanced enough to follow Saga. In theory, this is because the process of resetting the universe draws information from the previous iterations and builds off it. I see people often seem to believe Saga's eternal recurrence is a rigid repeat of events, while I believe the repeating events are altered by the universe itself evolving. Thus, people and events may repeat but will have radically different details and consequences won't necessarily always be the same. Think Xenoblade 3's Flame Clock system with endless cycles of repeating life, except applied to the worlds/universes. So, since U-DO has directly caused universes to be reset and remnants of past iterations remain, we can infer U-DO stores the information somewhere: Mira. Cross is the prototype human form of Zed created by U-DO to host itself on a physical level. Bionis and Alrest are supposed to be halves, and an outside 3rd force (Zed) breaches the barrier and enters from X.
I think its just purple Orbs in the Skell. I dont see a Connection only because there is something that looks distinctly similiar. Such a Connection would feel kind of forced
If the new stoty content is only available after beating the base game then I will not be purchasing as I’ve already played the game and I HEAVILY disliked the gameplay loop of how to advance the story(which I found to be a very predictible story).

There's another more substantial gameplay video over on Perfectly Nintendo too, for those who've missed out on that.
Oh yeah! I saw that yesterday and wanted to go over it in this but this video ended up being too long haha
If you just take the head, it looked like Lanz with the white hair and the skin, from the little you could see, looked similar.
Haha yeah I see it!

I hope so too!

Now that a game theory
God this looks so beautiful
I am really impressed with how much refinement went through this. It definitely looks way more sharp compared to the OG. Only two more months!
Yeah they put a lot of effort into this remaster!
We aren’t going to know anything after the epilogue is finished.
“To be continued in X2…on Switch 2”
Haha I totally expect them to do this!! Hopefully we don't have to wait another 10 years 😭
@
X2 is going to be the next new Xenoblade game so I don’t think it will be more than 2 years at the most.
@@WestonMeyer-n6x yeah I don't expect to see xc4 till the next decade maybe lol

If you've seen the full ending of X I already had that idea but yeah it defintely ended on a cliffhanger.
lets goooooo!! extremely interesting watch man! cannot wait to jump back into that mech suit!
Yeah bro I'm so excited to FINALLY play this on Switch (and Switch 2)!!
@nishquikpops exactly! If switch 2 ends up being April, I might have to wait til then to pick it up....but that would be painful 😅

I own this on Wii U...still haven't opened it XDDDDDD Hopefully I'll give it a try with the Switch!
Hope you give it a shot on Switch and enjoy it! 😄
I played the game 10 years ago, and I noticed differences... lol
Yeah idk how people don't notice the changes lol
Also be radio broadcast which was written by the creators of the game and the writers made it perfectly clear that all the games are connected. Long before this version X.

Pretty sure Miranium Tech is Exclusively from Mira, Hence the Name MIRAnium. 👍
Yes I did realize that later. I think I cut that out of the video bc it was getting too long but yeah it's not tech that Elma brought down to earth 👍🏽
Iirc the 2 NeilNail Skells have the ability to manipulate time. Now i wonder if there are some time shenanigans going on in the plot.

I don't think the story missions are going to change. The new characters and such are probably side quests.
Let’s go!
The hype is real!!!
Just finished - great breakdown, Nishquik. The art direction and updated graphics look phenomenal. I can’t wait to no-life this game on the Switch 2 😂
Thank you, I'm super excited too!!
Ello. Thank you for uploading this so I can fall asleep to Xenoblade X hype :D
(Yes, it is 7 AM for me. Don't ask >_
Hope this gives you the rest you need! 😄
The og exploration trailer for X is still my favorite. Regardless, still incredibly hyped!
Black night might be a male from Elma alien race.
Or even her boyfriend from her planet👀
I sorta talk about this in the video 😅
Had to skip spoiler section since I won’t be playing this for the first time till march 😬
Elma's character model looks so unfinished and incomplete. I strongly preferred her original model. The doll-like look really suited it very well.
It always was canon and the best. Xenogears > Xenosaga > Xenoblade X. Nothing else ever mattered.
Greatest game just got better
Holy crap this looks overwhelming, cant wait to hate this game until I love it... if that even makes sense. 😂
Haha I totally get that! It might be the opposite of FF7 remake 😂😂
@nishquikpops yeah! I'm genuinely excited, though, for that moment when it will all just click.
The Masked Pilot and Qlurian characters give me optional party member vibes. The cutscenes could be from affinity missions which of course can add to the lore but avoid them having to chop up the plot to fit them. I don’t see them straight up altering main story missions but maybe I’m wrong.
I'm hoping to find out if my Cross idea pans out.
Spoilers for X, 3, and Gears/Saga
My theory is that Zed originates in Mira as "Cross". Cross has no past and never gains insight on it. The world takes place in a seemingly isolated pocket dimension which pulls from different universes within a greater multiverse.
U-DO seeks to prevent the heat death of all universes (see Zed's motivations), and if you really get into the weeds on it, the technological advancement and biological evolution is traceable from Gear->Saga->Blade, BUT the timelines are out of whack. Gears should take place after Saga, while the implications of the lost history in Gears nowhere near advanced enough to follow Saga.
In theory, this is because the process of resetting the universe draws information from the previous iterations and builds off it. I see people often seem to believe Saga's eternal recurrence is a rigid repeat of events, while I believe the repeating events are altered by the universe itself evolving. Thus, people and events may repeat but will have radically different details and consequences won't necessarily always be the same. Think Xenoblade 3's Flame Clock system with endless cycles of repeating life, except applied to the worlds/universes.
So, since U-DO has directly caused universes to be reset and remnants of past iterations remain, we can infer U-DO stores the information somewhere: Mira.
Cross is the prototype human form of Zed created by U-DO to host itself on a physical level. Bionis and Alrest are supposed to be halves, and an outside 3rd force (Zed) breaches the barrier and enters from X.
Why wouldnt X be canon?
I think its just purple Orbs in the Skell. I dont see a Connection only because there is something that looks distinctly similiar. Such a Connection would feel kind of forced
If X is canon then it's a current decision.
Why does the Xenoblade series keep flopping on Nintendo systems? Sad Most Nintendo users rarely buy anything else besides Mario Pokémon Zelda
If the new stoty content is only available after beating the base game then I will not be purchasing as I’ve already played the game and I HEAVILY disliked the gameplay loop of how to advance the story(which I found to be a very predictible story).
