Bit of a long video today lads, lots of cutscenes in this one. 2 more videos left in this playthrough! Cheers xoxo
Yo, flycrew, where u at then?
Can't believe its almost over 😭😭😭🥺
As sad as I am with Xenoblade ending, I am equally excited for a new adventure.
What games you planning to play next?
I'm sad it's almost over but I'm looking forward your Dragon Quest XI playthrough after that
Then you can go ahead and play the "torna, the golden country" dlc
I await the day that Flyann calls Amalthus by his actual name by accident
Now every time I see or hear Amalthus, my brain will default it to Garbulio, but I’m not complaining.
Jin is an S+++ tier character. So much good writing
Hate to be that guy, but could you elaborate why? To me he just seems like a guy who let himself go and became a mass murderer
@@anibalvaldebenito8810 i cba to type a whole character analysis but imho jin's writing is fantastic.
in my eyes, jin's experience is a tale on what human ambition is capable of doing, and what consequences it can have. amalthus's conquest for complete control, and his subsequent destruction of torna due to their different outlooks on life and how blades/titans should be treated - he, as a survivor, embodies that mindset that torna had. the mindset that blades and humans should be treated equally - however, due to his trauma in the death of lora, and the fact that he subsequently lost everything - as malos stated, "the only thing he hadn't lost was his life, because he couldn't... words can be a curse.", this tornan mindset of "everyone should be equal, blades and humans" was translated into "everyone should be equal... and therefore, dead".
jin is a tragic representation of 'becoming what you sought to destroy'. he was so outraged by amalthus's slaughter of his own people, that his idea for revenge was to slaughter everyone else - after all, since amalthus IS the praetor, technically all of alrest are his people. this corruption - the corruption of his mindset, and the alternative interpretation of equality in torna's eyes, is represented by his red core crystal. the fact that it's the same shape, but a different colour, shows how he still believes in that old tornan mindset - but it's been so corrupted and changed by his traumatic experiences that while it's under the same basis, it's unrecognizable from before.
i could type more abt how he develops as a character and how he learns to accept that humanity is salvageable, but i lowkey dont want to. but overall, i just think that he's a tragic character with understandable yet unjustifiable mindsets, and it's impressive to make the death of a mass murderer be pitiable. he's a victim of his circumstance - and his death hit hard.
“What a splendid soul you were… Jin.”
"I wonder, if my catboy boyfriend was still around.... would things be... different?"
-Mik probably
Woah, spoilers
@@puppd7428 I'm gonna be real with you... catboys don't live for 500 years... 😪
I mean, if milton didn't die the way he did, Mythra wouldn't have done the thing, and she wouldn't have to hide in guilt like that
Saying "curtains" when Akhos died is appropriate for his stage play referencing ass
Akhos died u mustard!
@@annedrieck7316 Still appropriate, and he was a bit of a bitch.
Garbulio stays underrated, he's got the most complicated arch of anyone in the game. First his mom dies, then because he wants to ask the architect why it had to happen so he lives his entire life for the church, even climbs up the world tree but believes he's not worthy, then he constantly gets reminded that humans are bad people (the.guy he helped that then went on to rob that woman) and he hates the world even more, which causes Malos to become selfhating as well when he awakens him and makes Garbulio think that the architect wants to kill all humankind bc malos was sent by the architect so he figures malos is right. Then later on, he tries to save the world by helping Rex but realizes Malos wants to kill the architect so now he needs to stop him again, and since Rex doesnt wanna kill Malos he goes crazy and figures that Malos was right, and that the reason he can cleanse core crystal and consume them is for the same reason Malos thinks he can destroy the world (bc if it came from the aegis, that means the architect mustve sent it), which is to exterminate all life, like malos said. All the while he doesn't realize that the Architect doesnt even care because to him everything is "fate", meaning that Garbulio's thousands of attempts to appease him wouldve never worked anyways. And still, when he finally dies, the architect finally feels bad for him and sends the spirit of his mother to take him to the... afterlife? Obv left a little ambiguous but it doesnt matter anyways what happens to him afterwards, its about the fact that the architect finally did feel bad for him and its so perfectly timed with the music aaaaaa
Goated character writing and goated video game
EXACTLY, Amalthus is really underrated but I think he's the best villain in the franchise, so many layers. He did nothing wrong, heck he was trying to stop Malos from climbing the World Tree.
@@mds_516 uuhhh he did kinda wanna destroy the world out of self pity so I wouldnt exactly say he didnt do anything wrong lmao
@@jarrav8186
Yeah you're right, but I mean in that particular instance he was trying to stop Torna from doing the same thing but Rex was like nah man you're evil 😂
Garbulio was an inspiration to us all. He will be dearly missed.
Mikhail: 500 years later and still living with his dad.
[Edit] I'd just like to mention Nia going in Driver-mode to fight Jin, but against Amalthus decides to go Torna-style and completely ignore both Dromarch and Rex.
I know people like to talk bad about Xenoblade 2's plot but honestly a lot of the moments and themes in the final chapter, *especially this one*, just hit so hard. Rex's whole ibelief about how even though bad people exist, people are still worth being with and the world is worth living in clashes so well against the villains' ideology that, no, people are evil, and it really just resonates with me a lot. That talk he has with Zeke I think about how he loves this world and life is about taking the good things with the bad has honestly become one of my favorite parts of the game.
Not to mention that xenoblade 2’s antagonists have much more depth than xenoblade 1’s (in my opinion),
Agreed. XC2 antagonists are part of what make the game for me. Especially Jin, and *especially* after Torna.
I think X1 had the better plot but X2 had the better cast
@@Lumario23 That's fair. For me the whole themes surrounding the treatment of Blades in different societies and how Torna wants to "free" them because Jin feels they aren't viewed as equals anymore, unlike 500 years ago, are really interesting. In general the writing surrounding Blades is really good imo, like the different ways the plot uses their memory loss and seeing how characters like Jin and Brighid, for example, view that fate.
I like Xenoblade 1's plot a lot, dont' get me wrong, but I just found that 2 went over a lot of really good themes that I found a lot deeper than the first game. The plot feels like it's progressed by its characters as opposed to the first game where it kinda felt like everyone except Shulk was just on for the ride.
Honestly anyone who trashes on Xenoblade 2’s plot is just wrong. The active story of 1 and 2 are genuinely peak fiction, and most people complaining seem to confuse something having a slow start as being badly written, or something having weird comedy as it being a not serious plot for fun. What’s better is that any boring moments from 1 and 2 become so much more interesting in retrospect or replay given info you learn later on in the game, like how chapter 2 has a metric ton of foreshadowing for Mythra, Nia, Blade Bots, war, Torna, and even Indol, but isn’t seen in that light on a first playthrough. Very few stories in any genre manage to do this effectively, and it elevates the story a ton more than many realize
You know how the core that you pulled straight from a titan was a rare blade? You basically just had a boss fight against all of the rare blades you should have been getting from cores this whole time.
I love how all the villians in Xemoblade aren't just one-dimensional bad guys. They all have went through shit in their past and have resons for being the person they are now and doing the obviously bad things they did.
It makes them feel like real persons, being neither really good nor truly bad.
Mumkhar? Yumea? Lorithia? Bana? Dughall? Muimui? Malos, Zanza and the Face Units if you wanna count them. Dickson is never explained.
Alvis, Meyneth, Morag, Zeke and Vanea aren't villains so they don't count.
Egil, Tyrea, Amalthus, Mikhail and Jin are pretty good though.
@@Ian-oy3cv Ok maybe not ALL went through shit, that's not always the reason I agree. Still also those you mentioned aren't just evil for the sake of being evil. They all had reasons behind their actions to some degree.
Malos basically IS Amalthus, so that's the simplest one.
Zanza had the fear of being forgotten amd perishing.
Mumkhar was always envious of Dunban and power hungry.
Yumea was a traditional elitist high hentia, who couldn't accept the Homs cross breeding. Basically a person corrupted by a racist society, just like it can happen IRL.
Bana, Dughall and Muimui have all been corrupted by Greed.
Dickson loved fighting and thus gladly accepted the world Zanza gave him.
Lorithia was promised immortality by Zanza.
So I guess what I wanted to say is none of them are just "pure evil" or born evil. So basically that's what I wanted to say.
Chapter 9 is easily my favorite chapter of both xenoblade games. I think that Jin is the real main character of the game after playing Torna to be honest
I think it's more comparable to star wars prequels and trilogy with Anakin's role.
@@Averi0 that’s a good comparison
@ I say there are three main characters in Rex, Mythra, and Jin
@ If you guys want to learn more about Rex and his growth as a character, watch the video "How Oedipus is Rex?" and you will be extremely impressed.
Man I started playing through this game 2 weeks ago, I’m 106 hours in and still only on Chapter 7. Fucking delicious game. Absolutely adore it, and it’s nice to see someone else run through and enjoy it as much as I am. Awesome content dude. When you’re done, play through XB2 Torna!
He just beat torna on his twitch! He’ll probably upload the torna stuff to RUclips soon
This section and the scenes that follow cemented this as my favourite game (just)
At around 8:01 not too many people seem to notice Amalthus suffocates that baby... 1) Damn that's dark 2) I feel like this implies that whether his mother pushed him off that cliff to save him from the bandits or kill him so he didn't have to live in their f**ked up world, he seems to see it as the latter.
What a splendid soul you were indeed Jin
INDEED
INDEED!!
Rewatching this chapter makes Torna so much better.
I am so ready, this is my favorite chapter in the game.
2:17 Oooh! *That’s* where Malos got that from.
I N D E E D
Wouldn't be a Xeno game without at least 1 giant robot
XD
YO I just noticed, Rex's new outfit has him in high heels
In ng+ you can find mikhail just chilling at the base of the world tree after he explodes
27:31 "I love you"
The fight with Amal- I mean Garbulio gave me so much trouble. There´s a hole in the ground behind where he spawns and he immediately threw me in there on my first attempt because I didn´t see it.
To be fair,
Garboolio was 1v14 ing them all
A splendid soul indeed...😔
1:10 Primal Garbulio is a really good form of Garbulio, the best legendary pokemon, but Gigantamax Garbulio at 38:08 is his best form overall.
Watching This making me play the game again
This had the first flyann stream I caught and I couldn’t even use the funny boss mii shop copy pasta. Great entertainer he is
39:10 Delusions of grandeur=Confusion of the highest order
17:45 Bro are you seriously drinking tap water i only drink the freshest water from the deepest mountains of fuji
I love this game so much.
20:02 This cutscene like many others is affected by choosing Pyra or Mythra in Morytha which I saw u later noticed but I figured others might not noticed lol
EMPTY MOMENT
10:00 “you gonna use her, FOR YOUR DRINKS?” That one was funny
Nothing more beautiful than the ending of this game 💫
holy shit, after a literal month
Man got me crying in the club
he said scuffed he-man LMFAO
7:02 the perfect timing
REST IN PEACE
Honestly if Zeke proposed to me I’d say yes.
yes, zeke is best man
Just watched the chpt 9 and 10 vods last night. Man I wish I could've been there.
I'm ready to see flyann losing his shit on next part
5:58 did you say drobot? as in like. skylanders???? if so mad respect but if not just ignore me lmfao. this is the best part of the whole game imo, very epic that you’re getting to experience it!
Love it!
lets gooooo Garbo's finaleee
why the flyann cut so goddamn fresh today???!!!
Damn...
_If only Mik could walk some more..._
Amazing game 🥰
32:00 Come at me, bro.
I only just realised that garbulio's sacred arrow is just mythra's level 4 special (though should he even be able to do it indoors?)
I'll take this as an early birthday present -or late because he's already done with the game-
I can't stop crying man ;-;
rip akhos he was a real one
can someone please explain what garbulio is
What an original title my lad
hello mister xenoblade your content is awesome
23:26 That sounds a bit too familiar...
Poppi best girl
YESSSSS
Yeaaaaa
50分はアツいな
I'm out of the loop, why do you call him 'Garbulio?'
It's what he arbitrarily called him the first time he saw him and it stuck.
Epic
Is he going to play Torna the Golden country expansion???
GARBULIUS PRIME CANCELLED
did you change the name? i swear this used to be called chapter 9 instead. just curious
He Probably changed the name because of what happens to Jin at the end.
So will flyann play Xenogears and Saga eventually
It doesn't even show up on your page omg i'm so early
cha[ter 9
aye did you miss a xenoblade 1 vod. cause i’ve been watching them and it just skips the whole fallen arm?
yo! yeah that one couldn't' be uploaded because of copyrighted material in the mediashare during that stream. Apologies!
@@flyann F
Man reminded me that Pog got removed. F
He can make his own emote.
@@MariktheGunslinger facts

Hey fly
