I’m so glad you’ve made this video. I feel Morag is often overlooked and this video does a great job at analyzing her and showing the deeper parts of her character
If you take the other route in the Heart-to-Heart between Mòrag and Pandoria, Pandoria admits that the reason she asked Mòrag about her appearance was because she assumed Mòrag knows "how men think" in regards to female attractiveness. Mòrag doesn't deny it but gets SUPER EMBARRASSED and is like "this conversation is over" So yeah, Mòrag being a lady's lady is practically canon. Also, the specific cosmetics Mòrag tells Pandoria that she and Brighid use are the EXACT same ones as Brighid's favourite pouch items. So that basically means Mòrag started using them because Brighid used them and now I'm convinced that Mòrag's touchiness about her femininity comes from her wanting to emulate Brighid and be attractive to her. Also that BIT AT THE END WHERE Brighid lays her head on Mòrag's shoulder while everyone is distracted by the Cloud Sea disappearing. Mòrag/Brighid is canon.
I mean, some of the closeness you describe could be equally applied to Lora and Haze (which are definitely not a romantic couple), though I agree at times Morag-Brigid seems closer to a Lora-Jin relationship
Hey, Luxin. You know, I just realized, I've been watching your channel for about a year or so now and this is one of the first times that I've actually commented on one of your video's. Anyway, I just wanted to say thanks for working so hard to make awesome content, both here and on your LP channel. When it comes to Xeno Lore you have some of the best explanations I've seen and you delve into a lot of topics that I don't really see talked about all that often. At any rate, I look forwards to seeing what you come up with next. Thank you for your hard work.
On the note about human-blade marriage in the base game, If they're not married, there's definitely that old man who likes chocolate, and his blade who likes cooking onigiri, in Torigoth.
I love Morag. I hadn't gushed about how cool a character was from only first impressions since Chase in Kamen Rider Drive. Also I totally support Morag X Brigid.
I interpreted Morag as having nurture based autism and being close to asexual as highly irregular sexualities often come with autism. As it was autism induced by the environment she grew up in, leaving that environment lets her develop and catch up a bit socially, leading to her questioning her sexual vs platonic feelings and so. So if she was to decide her sexuality is driven by just intimacy she would choose Brigid. If she felt more satisfaction from being made to lighten up and touching an attractive person her age, she would choose Zeke. If she decided she felt most strongly about an inspirational person who will always lead and care for her, she'd want to be with Rex or possibly project her feelings for Rex onto Niall. If she got gratification from being driven mad, she'd fall for Tora
The soup is not actually hot it is just warm which means it can be used as a hose to cover the oxen. It can mean many things but mainly as a challenge to the grass. Because of them the grass becaumes larger then the cloud flood insurance but the sun horses of cardboard have 6 eyes. Which then eat the grass for more power but not that much. I hope that cleared it up.
Ah! You see, I thought you meant that the great mushroom soup from episode 28 season 2 of the super Mario brothers super show, where toad finds black yoshi and rides into the sunset. With that information, I would think my next course of action would to light black yoshi on Fire, therefore solving the energy crisis.
Even though Morag hates being compared to men, her japanese VA sounded basically like a dude. It is probably the only voice i prefer in english. With xenoblade 2 so full on fanservice, Morag is pretty much the only lady to not have any sort of fanservice scene whatsoever. She is just that badass. Even her swimsuit equipment is just a japanese school swimsuit. Morag I felt really did not have much to tie her to the team. It's like she basically had Riki's role of just being there to support the group rather than have any sort of personal connection to them. You could say the same with Zeke I suppose. It is just a product of a story with less stake than xenoblade 1.
Honestly they have an amazing english VA cast. Only Rex's voice actor sounds like an amateur lol. Japanese voice actors sound terrible honestly. I speak japanese and cant even understand Gramps. And everyone else just speak in a generic anime way. Whereas the english localization went as far to give every country a different accent and way of speaking. They put way more work in the english version than the japanese The only issue is that the translations are also nearly entirely different. Half the time the subtitles are saying something entirely different than what's actually being said in japanese. So if your listening to the japanese version and reading the subtitles you're being misled.
@@buddha3209 Why does them speaking as they would in an anime be bad? Xenoblade 2 is a very anime inspired game. I would much rather take a very good and consistant but more generic voice direction over the sheer uneven quality of the dub. The actual voices are subjective. I do think the english VAs to an admirable jobs, with some very stand out performances, with how they are directed. Since the voices were recorded in order, they do improve as they game goes on. I know japanese Azurda is the least liked one out of the bunch but Nia honestly sounds exactly how I wished she sounded in the dub. The dub voice is very unique but she has like one volume for every scene. She rarely actually goes past speaking volume even in situations she should be yelling. Rex getting stabbed through the heart and Nia's tone is that of someone who is annoyed that you left your shoes out by the door. Xenoblade 2 dub clearly needed way better voice director. The fact that the dub turned out like this is pretty indicative of the fact that the dub just did not have as much effort as it needed. it does not help that they had to hire loads of brand new or amateur VAs since the UK just does not have the talent pool that Japan has. I just would not agree that the sub was lazier than the dub. The whole different nationality accents are a nice touch though.
I Thought Zetta tried and failed to awaken Mythra and as seen in game he seems to be fine physically. So it's possible that Core Crystals don't kill people who fail to awaken them but do hurt them.
There's an NPC Gormotti who says that he knew someone who was killed by opening a core crystal. It probably varies depending on aptitude or lack thereof.
It occurs to me that Morag and Brigid are the only primary driver-blade pairing among the protagonists where both are the same gender. If you include the members of Torna, her only company are Mikhail & Cressidus and Malos & Sever.
Probably because the empire’s government thought that either give more power to the special inquisitor to better protect the emperor, or because it’d be too dangerous if someone random guy found the cores if the emperor dies
I believe that it’s to make sure both jewels of the empire aren’t tied to one driver. If hat one diver dies both return to their cores which could make them easy to steal. If the two are on two different drivers they can’t be easily stolen as they’re tied to two different drivers.
Because him and Vandham were like, totally a thing. Vandham's like "oh Roc's the only blade I'll ever need" even though we know from experience that it's advantageous for a mercenary to have lots of blades. Obviously there's a gameplay reason for this as well but it totally makes them seem like life partners
SupperFriends you do know morag already reject Brigid’s romantic advances if the her cutscene in Indiol is to be believed. I always saw that scene was referring to ageneon.

I hate how hard I laughed at this comment
Can totally see Morag and Dunban bonding over war stories and tactics.
“No one but nopon want to bone another nopon”
Rule 34: *”hold my beer”*
"No one but a Nopon wants to bone a Nopon."

No one should have the two jewels of the empire...
Me: *proceeds to give Aegeon to Morag*
Aegeon: *can only be bonded to Morag when using his Crystal.*
Aegeon; *Is a blade given to you through the story*
Rex: proceeds to marry three blades
If you look up the word “cool” in the dictionary, you will find Morag’s picture and nothing else
Ah yes, good old Mórag. Top waifu and has the 1st part of her homeland theme sound like Michael Jackson's Thriller.
I always thought that mor ardain sounded a bit like Thriller, glad i'm not the only one ahah

"She really really hates being mistaken for a man."
Me who accidentally thought she was a man when I first saw her: ...
For the empire of Mor Ardain
I mean there’s a reason why she’s special inquisitor
Best girl
Also first, but no one cares.
This is awesome content!
Also, waiting for Xenoblade DE be like a constant "SQUAD! HOLD YOUR POSITIONS!"
6:55 Prince Zettar was a Tornan who survived an aptitude test failure.
Thanks for making this video! Morag is my favorite character in the game and having an analysis of her is fantastic!
6:58 I am pretty sure that we also have seen Zettar trying to open Mythra's core crystal and surviving it even though he failed.
The first gormotti you see in Torigoth failing to bond prior to Jac, you can find him and talk to him after the incident is another example
mesterdeath7 wait that guy lives? Where in Torigoth is he?
@@Blitz_Spencer He's over by the bridge after the incident, I can give you a more exact location later
I didn’t know I was looking forward to this until now. Very exciting stuff going on here
I love character analysis videos. Can't wait to see more!
I absolutely adore Mòrag, thanks for the vid
Hey Luxin I am a huuuuge fan of the Xeno Friendchise, and I am soooo happy that I've found your channel. I love your videos, keep it up ^^

You mean DUMPLINGS
gotta love localizations
Been waiting for this video after seeing all your tweets.
Best character in Xenoblade 2 :D
Thank you for going over this. You are awesome.
I wish Mòrag was actually relevant to the story past chapter 5
At least she’s a good evasion tank.
Sorry Luxin, but I'm on the side of "please let Xenoblade DE release as soon as possible" regardless of how much Xenosaga you've completed.
JC101 I have to agree. Love this comment btw
*kicks door open*
Who mentioned best WOMAN?

She’s like the love child of Edelgard and Satski
How can we the great mushroom soup becaume the fire of a bright horse?
...... I’m stumped. how?

I should've expected a Mòrag video assuming from those couple of Mòrag tweets
16:34 this is why you say what? What does that even mean? Is that a saying??? Did you invent it??
Flamebringer time

W H U A T ? !
Well, the end of the game also kind of implies Zeke and her having something of a thing. But I suppose it doesn't really matter.
Adam The Black Mage the serious mom with goofy dad, I love to see the interactions of them and all the comic possibilities
@@shulkash8799 yes Zeke and Morág would be such a great ship. Rex and Nia would be a good ship but considering how hard Rex friendzoned Nia...
It occurs to me that Morag and Brigid are the only primary driver-blade pairing among the protagonists where both are the same gender. If you include the members of Torna, her only company are Mikhail & Cressidus and Malos & Sever.
Does sever have a gender?
Dugall, Vandham, Amalthus, Lora and Hugo.

@@wowzagh I was referring to Haze.
@@orioli14 ah okeydokes
Thank you for remembering the accent in her name
Last time I was this early the Soviet Union still existed
Melia < Morag for the title of Best girl
How is Roc LGBT? Are we talking about his lack of gender or did I miss a heart to heart where we find that he was in love with Vandham or something?
It that his gender is 4
@@shulkash8799 Which in turn is someone's sick idea of a joke, as in Japan, 4 is the number of death. Roc was holding Vandham's "Death Flag".
Starcat5 I forgot that detail. Good eye.
If you can do a deep look into Rex’s character, I’d be happy.
You don’t die if you fail to open a core crystal tho
Why cant someone have both jewels of the empire after hugo died?
Probably because the empire’s government thought that either give more power to the special inquisitor to better protect the emperor, or because it’d be too dangerous if someone random guy found the cores if the emperor dies

Doesn't Zettar try to open a crystal? They say he isn't a driver, and was it confirmed you die if you don't have aptitude?
Tora didn't die when he attempted to awaken a blade, death is just one possibility if you fail not a guarantee
Still have much to lyearn
The main difference between Mórag and Zeke is Mórag is a badass and Zeke is an idiot.
Where is it said that Roc is LGBTQ?
It because his gender is 4 , but that more gameplay.
Because him and Vandham were like, totally a thing. Vandham's like "oh Roc's the only blade I'll ever need" even though we know from experience that it's advantageous for a mercenary to have lots of blades.
