I love how the game uses both versions of Klaus to represent this. In one of them he achieved his goal and in the other his experiment only brought destruction and chaos to the world.
Already played Automata, I'm also planning on playing the first NieR and the Drakengard series.

Sorry for the confusion :)
I love the scene right before the Amalthus fight in chapter 9 when this plays. I think Rex says something like _"We're gonna end the 500-year-long curse. Right here, right now."_ That line really hit so hard for me. It has such a sense of finality, like Amalthus is the real final boss. And he basically is, he's to blame for almost everything that has happened. And he is right there for you to settle things once and for all. It's insane how many powerful moments this track plays in.
Everyone talking about Klaus but let's not forget about Jin killing Haze so that she'll be free from Amalthus's control and the other moment in Tantal where Pyra/Mythra threatened to destroy themselves in order to let their friends live. Those too are decisions...difficult decisions...
Every comment is about chapter 10's opening, but I also think this track is very strong in chapter 6's ending. When Brighid opened her eyes for the first time, I felt that.
Fitting that this one was composed by Yasunori Mitsuda himself. Made the whole cinematic and how it pretty much is a tribute to the entire "Xeno" lore more meaningful.
I can't explain it but this music is the definition of hype in the Xeno series as a whole for me...

@Brady otter from what I can gather the next Xeno game will either be Xenoblade X2 or Xenoblade 3, no idea about saga or gears though. Also I think an X port was in the works but we probably won’t be seeing that for a little while.
@@williaml3025 from what my boyfriend told me who owned and played the game extensively like this one. X's gamepad interface was so in depth that doing a port of the game will be either incredibly difficult or nigh impossible

Everything about this scene was excellent, it was the duel at Valak Mountain all over again. 1: Rex's crushing defeat at Jin's hands was shocking for everyone. 2: Pyra's sacrifice play was brilliantly executed. 3: Jin's parting words to Rex pretty much destroyed him.
This is kinda like the scene on Valak Mountain: 1. Mumkar and Patroka with the boys getting defeated. 2. Overpowered guy comes in(Egil and Jin) 3. Main protagonist shouting for girlfriend 4. Get them back after a bit
@@maxrichards3881 are we talking about the same scene where jin suddenly decides he's the strongest guy in the universe, can control all elementary particles, counter all attacks, move at the speed of light, and bring the temperature down to absolute zero? Like seriously? Do the devs even understand how physics works? If he can move at the speed of light, he can retrieve Pyra faster than anything could destroy her. If he could bring something to absolute zero, just freeze Pyra, and she can't do anything. (And how is anyone alive after all this) And forget Jin for a second. In the face of all this plot BS, what in the world makes Pyra think she can destroy herself before Jin could do anything about it. AND THEY BELIEVE HER? Further on that. Pyra's goal for getting to Elysium in the first place, is so she can destroy herself. Well according to this scene, SHE CAN ALREADY DO EXACTLY THAT, without going to Elysium, and at any point in time. So wtf is the point of everything? This scene (and many others) is honestly embarrassing and I don't know why you guys turn a blind eye to it and act like it's a masterpiece
@@dugtrioramen Ok, that a cornucopia of bullshit. From the top: 1: This a fantasy world. A suspension of disbelief is required to make it work. This like hating on a Pokémon game because Pokémon exist. 2: Pyra said it herself: “One wrong move, and my body will be scoured from this world… faster than you can blink.” This implies that Jin, as fast he is, can’t react in time for this. 3: Jin is able to chill things down to absolute zero, but remember that he only managed to do so when he had time to charge it. In the battle of Morytha, he’s standing off to the side while Malos is doing the dirty work. 4: As for asking how anyone is alive after the fight, I’ll put it like this… Jin only intends to kill Rex, because he has half of the Aegis’s core crystal. 5: Pyra’s earlier conversation with Azurda indicates that her sense of duty in defeating Jin and Malos is taking priority. She could’ve just destroyed herself as soon as siren awoke, but with her gone, and Jin and Malos still alive, that basically dooms the world. 6: She’s going to Elysium not just to end her life, but also to know the truth of her existence before the end. Malos also does something similar later in the game, getting the answers he’s looking for, rather going straight for Aion. We’re not “turning a blind eye” to anything, you just didn’t pay attention. I admit this game has some flaws, but this scene isn’t one of them.
@@maxrichards3881 Nice response. But it's still BS. From the top again 😉: 1. Yes both are fantasy worlds, but this game makes direct references to real life physics. Jin even says stuff like "your body is too heavy to move at the speed of light". They're clearly trying to be somewhat realistic, but are majorly half-assing it. Pokemon sticks to it's fantasy 2. "Faster than you can blink". Okay, but if this guy can move at the speed of light, it doesn't matter how fast he blinks. Nothing is faster than light. And you might argue that she can self destruct at the speed of light. But it's not Jin who's reacting, it's her. She's waiting to see if Jin will buy her threat. But that just means Jin can neutralize her in the time it takes for her body to even realize he didn't buy it. 3. Fine, maybe he has to charge. Then why does he even bother engaging with your party. He pops in unsuspectingly anyways. Why not just charge while they don't know you're there, then jump in and freeze em. Then just take whatever they need. In fact, why not do exactly what they did in Morytha and have malos fight while he charges (And I also recall him insta freezing amalthus at the end anyways) 4. Jin is plenty happy killing off many soldiers and haze throughout the story, so I don't buy that he didn't want to kill or something. I especially wouldn't buy that rex is special or something, because Jin doesn't think that until the land of Morytha 5. You say her priorities are to get rid of malos and Jin, yet she hides her power and crucial knowledge from the start. Even when Mythra was awakened, she was pissed to be awake at all. Doesn't really seem like a priority at that point. So sometimes it's a priority and sometimes it's not? 6. Sure you can say that, but I don't remember her ever describing that as her motives. Sure she asks the architect questions when they get there, but so would anyone else given the opportunity Anyways, even if that is the case, it's pretty shallow of her, don't you think? It makes plenty of sense for malos to go through all these lengths and risk so much to find out answers, because this guy doesn't care. But Pyra's roping everybody into this and risking everyone's lives. Is she really doing that just to get a few answers? It's respectable of her to do it just to disappear, so she can save the world, but to just to satisfy her own curiosity is Malos level Anyways, it's definitely not a matter of me paying attention or not as I've beaten this game 3 times already, and watched some streamers play as well. From what I can tell, the writers had genius overarching and big ideas for the story, but pretty bad writing when it came down to smaller story moments. And that compounds with their push for very cheesy tropes. I still love the game despite it's embarrassing cutscenes, but it's weird to see people praise some of the worst parts
You know, I'd never played Xenoblade 1 nor had I seen the original scene with Klaus But somehow I just FELT like I knew it was a connection to the 1st game I think that says something about impactful of a scene it is all by itself
@@ImperialKnowledge Pro tip: open fights with Ouroboros. It becomes almost necessary in harder fights, otherwise the boss instant kills everyone on their first Art.
Funny story, I actually beat Xeno 2 before a friend who’d gotten me into the game. But he’s finished Xeno 1, so I decided to have a little fun. I asked “Hey, does Xeno 1 connect to Xeno 2 at all?” He said no, but little does he know... Edit: Holy crap. I didn’t not expect this kinda response, so I finally asked. In their own words “they lost it.” They had suspected after Pneuma, but Klaus shocked em beyond belief. And I’m so proud.
on its own, this was a TREAT to players of the first xenoblade, but then they went above and beyond they decided to treat the xenogears and xenosaga fans by adding in THE FREAKING ZOHAR
having an out of context, randomly dropped flashback scene about the construction of Origin in XC3 with that kind of music, followed by the failed reboot and the birth of moebius would have been awesome
"Look at the state of you." "You hadn't even noticed? Your own blade has been wounded so deeply... and all you can think of is yourself. You awakened the Aegis... I thought you might've been different. But you're just... a fool. A pitiful, childish... fool."
I also find it hilariously ironic that Jin calls someone else a fool. He's the one taking out his despair on everyone instead of just that one guy who wronged him.
SquirtleMaster The first few chapters were slow af. Like, if the game was like the first few chapters, it would be a 3/10. The rest of game tho is like an 8-10/10
Such an impactful theme. When I hear this, I think back to that final shot at the end of Chapter 6, where after being mentally destroyed and Pyra taken away from him, Rex aimlessly looks around for Pyra, broken blade in hand, before screaming out to her. I get chills every time, and this is most definitely the turning point in the game where everything gets much more serious from then on
I still remember in 2017 when I jumped from my seat and freaked when I realized 2 was happening simultaneously as 1. I thought 2 was a standalone thing like Final Fantasy is with each entry.
The sacrifice play from Pyra was excellent. That whole scene where she hands herself over hurts to watch, you feel the pain that they both feel... It's the lowest point Rex is in the story. Masterpiece.
WARNING: MAJOR SPOILERS IN THE COMMENTS if you've played the first Xenoblade, don't have a switch yet, but felt like maybe perusing some of the new tracks from the new game, you will be spoiled.
Sorry for necroing the old comment, but how much does this go the other way? Only finished Xenoblade 2, as I was waiting for the remake with X1 - does X2 spoil the major twist in X1?
@@Vokoca Only thing it spoils is the origin of Klaus's other half, which in of itself isn't that important to Xenoblade 1's plot, especially compared to other moments in the game.
i was one of the people who didnt know they were connected when xenobalde 2 first came out and takahashi telling a lie that they are not connected, u can think my reaction when i saw this cutscene, it was mindblowing
"Look at the state of you. You hadn't even noticed? Your own blade has been wounded so deeply, and all you can think of is yourself. You awakened the Aegis, I thought that... you might've been different. But you're just a fool. A pitiful, childish fool."
Let us, homo sapiens, a species of life which at the current point of writing this make their habitat on the celestial body known as earth that orbits the fiery death hole knows as the sun , perform the action of starting up the scientific process of testing to homo sapiens or other living creatures or even not alive things such as any type of solid liquid or gas and recording the results to use in the growth of our species of which is known as homo sapiens but more commonly knows to homo sapiens as humans
Even as someone who has yet to play XC1 THIS cutscene held such a significance to me! I cant wait to get the full context. But this moment was the beginning of what put XC2 in a completely different league for me in terms of story. Chapter 10 made this game from good to almost legendary, a total mind fuck the likes of which I never could have predicted. The twist in this Chapter is still unbelievable to me. Holy hell what do you call a revelation? It would be this moment.
It's so great to me that they waited until the end of the game to reveal the connection with the previous title. It's very smart to get us invested into this world and these characters before letting us see how the two games are connected.
“Put the sword away, Jin. If not...I’ll annihilate myself.” “What?” “You need me alive, don’t you, Malos?” “Hmph. You worked that much out, didn’t you? Well done. But, how would you make good on that threat? You don’t have that kind of...” “Are you so sure about that?”
"Gaaaah-!" "Akhos, stop! He's..." "Ngahh-!" "Akhos!" "L-let me go, you monster..." "How dare you...? How dare you look down on me? You, a mere Blade whose very existence depends upon ours!" "Rex! He's got Akhos!" "I'm on it! Not on my watch!" "Grr... Let him go, pal!" "This is a strange situation. Fighting so hard to save a member of Torna." "Indeed, but it seems like the right thing to do." "His aim is clear, and so is ours. Ngh-! Thanks!" "Friend welcome!" "Poppi, now not time for kind manners!" "I believe in returning favors. You owe me for that one!" "Much thanks!" "Urghh... How...? Who do you people think you are?!" "Whoa-!" "Incorrigible whelps... Why would humans side with Blades?!" "Is he slow? He thinks it's a side to pick? We share a bond... you numbskull! We're all friends here! We're in this thing together!" "Bonds? Of friendships? With these...trinkets?" "Akhos!" "Tch... That was... surprisingly painful... If I were... still a Blade... ...this...wouldn't..." *flashback* "Join me. My name is Jin. I am...just like you." *present* "Akhos! Amalthus..." "You stay right there! He's human. So we should be the ones to lick his arse." "I have a heart no less human than-" "Then you better take good care of it! That's why you came here... Right?" "Rex..." "We're gonna break the 500-year-long curse right here!" "Yeah!" "Let's do it!"
I cannot even put into words, just how much this song makes me think I'm watching something I'm not meant to see. Some kind of a deity must've smiled upon this beautiful piece of music, because It was like a god themselves performed the actions behind it. It truly feels like what I'm witnessing is the end and beginning of everything. The tension caused by the rhythm being kept by the strong strings that start at the beginning of the track. Only daring to be broken up by a choir and a graceful piano, like they're some sort of divine intervention to try and clarify what it is you're watching. God, this cutscene was beyond perfect, the arrangement just goes with every scene, every spoken piece of dialogue, so perfectly. Fucking hell, I couldn't even begin to imagine the pride that the writers, directors, ALL of them, must have over creating a mastercraft like this entire opening part of chapter 10.
*SPOILERS!* The opening cutscene to this chapter made the Xenoblade Chronicles 1 fan in me absolutely scream with joy... "Today, mankind moves one step closer to the divine!"
@@IchHassePasswoerter That look on his face...It wasn't just a painful reminder of Lora's death. He must have also realized that Haze wasn't going to regenerate. Ever.
I had actually started by playing 2, since I’m always late to the amazing franchises, so I didn’t fully understand what was happening until I decided to delve into it and low and behold, once I found out this tied with one I lost my crap I was so excited. I had known one thanks to smash and I found it interesting but just couldn’t buy Xenoblade 1, so I instead bought two and now I’m a massive fan of the Xenoblade series.

"Let's begin the experiment..." - Professor Klaus
"We're locked out by Professer Klaus!"
What's that you say?! Klaus?! Put a sock in it you bunch of Jokers.
Let’s walk five steps and stare at Zanza!
This cutscene was the greatest thing to happen to me since the original release of Xenogears.
I fucking know right my man...
And from what I can tell the entire Xeno series seems to be connecting. Man I can't wait for the next game when ever they announce it!
@Brady otter from what I can gather the next Xeno game will either be Xenoblade X2 or Xenoblade 3, no idea about saga or gears though. Also I think an X port was in the works but we probably won’t be seeing that for a little while.
@@williaml3025 from what my boyfriend told me who owned and played the game extensively like this one. X's gamepad interface was so in depth that doing a port of the game will be either incredibly difficult or nigh impossible
I'm not a fan of the Xenosaga games, but I love the Xenoblade games.
This song is so intertwined with the opening to Chapter 10 that I forgot it played at 2 other very heavy moments earlier in the game with Jin.
3. You mean 3 time.
Damn Alvis, you had us in the first half, not gonna lie...
After Future Redeemed, the weight of this cutscene is so much larger, Klaus turned Earth into Lost Jerusalem, indirectly causing the events of Xenosaga to happen as well.
3:57 "Galea, we humans are fools. We ravaged the planet, we're on the verge of burning even the skies above, but the conduit, could transform us into something so much more!"
I readed this with lord Adam Howden's voice.

"I'm TELLING you...to leave Rex alone...if you don't, I'll destroy myself."
"You don't have that kind of power."
"...are you sure?"
Everything about this scene was excellent, it was the duel at Valak Mountain all over again.
1: Rex's crushing defeat at Jin's hands was shocking for everyone.
2: Pyra's sacrifice play was brilliantly executed.
3: Jin's parting words to Rex pretty much destroyed him.
This is kinda like the scene on Valak Mountain:
1. Mumkar and Patroka with the boys getting defeated.
2. Overpowered guy comes in(Egil and Jin)
3. Main protagonist shouting for girlfriend
4. Get them back after a bit
@@maxrichards3881 are we talking about the same scene where jin suddenly decides he's the strongest guy in the universe, can control all elementary particles, counter all attacks, move at the speed of light, and bring the temperature down to absolute zero?
Like seriously? Do the devs even understand how physics works?
If he can move at the speed of light, he can retrieve Pyra faster than anything could destroy her. If he could bring something to absolute zero, just freeze Pyra, and she can't do anything. (And how is anyone alive after all this)
And forget Jin for a second. In the face of all this plot BS, what in the world makes Pyra think she can destroy herself before Jin could do anything about it. AND THEY BELIEVE HER?
Further on that. Pyra's goal for getting to Elysium in the first place, is so she can destroy herself. Well according to this scene, SHE CAN ALREADY DO EXACTLY THAT, without going to Elysium, and at any point in time. So wtf is the point of everything?
This scene (and many others) is honestly embarrassing and I don't know why you guys turn a blind eye to it and act like it's a masterpiece
@@dugtrioramen
Ok, that a cornucopia of bullshit. From the top:
1: This a fantasy world. A suspension of disbelief is required to make it work. This like hating on a Pokémon game because Pokémon exist.
2: Pyra said it herself: “One wrong move, and my body will be scoured from this world… faster than you can blink.” This implies that Jin, as fast he is, can’t react in time for this.
3: Jin is able to chill things down to absolute zero, but remember that he only managed to do so when he had time to charge it. In the battle of Morytha, he’s standing off to the side while Malos is doing the dirty work.
4: As for asking how anyone is alive after the fight, I’ll put it like this… Jin only intends to kill Rex, because he has half of the Aegis’s core crystal.
5: Pyra’s earlier conversation with Azurda indicates that her sense of duty in defeating Jin and Malos is taking priority. She could’ve just destroyed herself as soon as siren awoke, but with her gone, and Jin and Malos still alive, that basically dooms the world.
6: She’s going to Elysium not just to end her life, but also to know the truth of her existence before the end. Malos also does something similar later in the game, getting the answers he’s looking for, rather going straight for Aion.
We’re not “turning a blind eye” to anything, you just didn’t pay attention. I admit this game has some flaws, but this scene isn’t one of them.
@@maxrichards3881 Nice response. But it's still BS. From the top again 😉:
1. Yes both are fantasy worlds, but this game makes direct references to real life physics. Jin even says stuff like "your body is too heavy to move at the speed of light". They're clearly trying to be somewhat realistic, but are majorly half-assing it. Pokemon sticks to it's fantasy
2. "Faster than you can blink". Okay, but if this guy can move at the speed of light, it doesn't matter how fast he blinks. Nothing is faster than light. And you might argue that she can self destruct at the speed of light.
But it's not Jin who's reacting, it's her. She's waiting to see if Jin will buy her threat. But that just means Jin can neutralize her in the time it takes for her body to even realize he didn't buy it.
3. Fine, maybe he has to charge. Then why does he even bother engaging with your party. He pops in unsuspectingly anyways. Why not just charge while they don't know you're there, then jump in and freeze em. Then just take whatever they need. In fact, why not do exactly what they did in Morytha and have malos fight while he charges
(And I also recall him insta freezing amalthus at the end anyways)
4. Jin is plenty happy killing off many soldiers and haze throughout the story, so I don't buy that he didn't want to kill or something. I especially wouldn't buy that rex is special or something, because Jin doesn't think that until the land of Morytha
5. You say her priorities are to get rid of malos and Jin, yet she hides her power and crucial knowledge from the start. Even when Mythra was awakened, she was pissed to be awake at all. Doesn't really seem like a priority at that point. So sometimes it's a priority and sometimes it's not?
6. Sure you can say that, but I don't remember her ever describing that as her motives. Sure she asks the architect questions when they get there, but so would anyone else given the opportunity
Anyways, even if that is the case, it's pretty shallow of her, don't you think? It makes plenty of sense for malos to go through all these lengths and risk so much to find out answers, because this guy doesn't care. But Pyra's roping everybody into this and risking everyone's lives. Is she really doing that just to get a few answers? It's respectable of her to do it just to disappear, so she can save the world, but to just to satisfy her own curiosity is Malos level
Anyways, it's definitely not a matter of me paying attention or not as I've beaten this game 3 times already, and watched some streamers play as well. From what I can tell, the writers had genius overarching and big ideas for the story, but pretty bad writing when it came down to smaller story moments. And that compounds with their push for very cheesy tropes.
I still love the game despite it's embarrassing cutscenes, but it's weird to see people praise some of the worst parts
You know, I'd never played Xenoblade 1 nor had I seen the original scene with Klaus
But somehow I just FELT like I knew it was a connection to the 1st game
I think that says something about impactful of a scene it is all by itself
It’s been an honor Xenochads o7

“You are no slave. Be free now.” -Jin
I screamed at this part

When Nintendo came up with the idea to push Xenoblade 3 forward by two months:
*LETS BEGIN THE EXPERIMENT!*
No objections from me. Its great so far!
@@SpaceFlamingo07 I’m only 9 hours in but im not really feeling it yet myself but ill push through to see 😄
@@ImperialKnowledge you WILL be feeling it
@@ImperialKnowledge Pro tip: open fights with Ouroboros. It becomes almost necessary in harder fights, otherwise the boss instant kills everyone on their first Art.
@@ImperialKnowledge to be fair, 9 hours in Xenoblade game time isn’t all that much.
(SPOILERS)
When the game decides 60+ hours in that it's time to start acting like a sequel.
(MORE SPOILERS?)
Thing is, it's not a sequel. XC1 and XC2 are taking place at the same time in parallell universes.
60? More like 95...
I think you mean 150 hours in
100+ hours in.
*ahem* *1 hour in, lil' scurb...smh lol
Funny story, I actually beat Xeno 2 before a friend who’d gotten me into the game. But he’s finished Xeno 1, so I decided to have a little fun. I asked “Hey, does Xeno 1 connect to Xeno 2 at all?” He said no, but little does he know...
Edit: Holy crap. I didn’t not expect this kinda response, so I finally asked. In their own words “they lost it.” They had suspected after Pneuma, but Klaus shocked em beyond belief. And I’m so proud.
What was his reaction after getting to this moment
@@notwhoyouthink593 I share this question
Tell us!
Agree tell us
T E L L U S !
on its own, this was a TREAT to players of the first xenoblade, but then they went above and beyond
they decided to treat the xenogears and xenosaga fans by adding in THE FREAKING ZOHAR
Who ?
@@tako-tac7764
The big golden monolith. Blade 2 calls it the Conduit, but it's pretty obvious it's meant to be the Zohar.
@@Skallva I think it's even called "Zohar" in the game files, so... yeah.
Also you should see Alvis in the remake now. I bet out have already but oooh boy.
Betty Crocker
Crucifix-shaped necklace, replacing the key? Yeah, that’s monolith confirming fan theories.
having an out of context, randomly dropped flashback scene about the construction of Origin in XC3 with that kind of music, followed by the failed reboot and the birth of moebius would have been awesome
“We’re gonna break the 500-year-long curse right here!”
It is interesting to note that a scene from XC3 DLC is called literally "The Decider".
"Heat-seeking warhead, we've been hit."
And so it begins...
*“Why are you the masters and we the slaves?”*
RiftedYri RIP Jin ❤️😢
Even more if you play Torna the Golden Country...
SPOILERS!
and the fate of Haze
"Look at the state of you."
"You hadn't even noticed? Your own blade has been wounded so deeply... and all you can think of is yourself. You awakened the Aegis... I thought you might've been different. But you're just... a fool. A pitiful, childish... fool."
I also find it hilariously ironic that Jin calls someone else a fool.
He's the one taking out his despair on everyone instead of just that one guy who wronged him.
SquirtleMaster The first few chapters were slow af. Like, if the game was like the first few chapters, it would be a 3/10. The rest of game tho is like an 8-10/10
Once only a god could perform such a miracle.
But now, man takes one step closer to the divine!
Such an impactful theme. When I hear this, I think back to that final shot at the end of Chapter 6, where after being mentally destroyed and Pyra taken away from him, Rex aimlessly looks around for Pyra, broken blade in hand, before screaming out to her. I get chills every time, and this is most definitely the turning point in the game where everything gets much more serious from then on
I still get goosebumps whenever I listen to this, and it's been nearly 4 years since I first played this game.
XC2 feels so disconnected from 1 up until this scene, when everything falls in place at once.
truly the decision of all time
The fact that this scene so clearly paralleled the opening of xenogears made me so happy
The most important cutscene in the entire series, by far!!
I like how this has like all the Jin motifs and yet it's become so far overshadowed by a later event.
This is the single most hype cutscene I’ve ever seen in a game!
(It also plays when Jin kidnaps Pyra in Tantal but still)
I still remember in 2017 when I jumped from my seat and freaked when I realized 2 was happening simultaneously as 1. I thought 2 was a standalone thing like Final Fantasy is with each entry.
The sacrifice play from Pyra was excellent. That whole scene where she hands herself over hurts to watch, you feel the pain that they both feel... It's the lowest point Rex is in the story. Masterpiece.
WARNING: MAJOR SPOILERS IN THE COMMENTS
if you've played the first Xenoblade, don't have a switch yet, but felt like maybe perusing some of the new tracks from the new game, you will be spoiled.
Sorry for necroing the old comment, but how much does this go the other way? Only finished Xenoblade 2, as I was waiting for the remake with X1 - does X2 spoil the major twist in X1?
@@Vokoca Only thing it spoils is the origin of Klaus's other half, which in of itself isn't that important to Xenoblade 1's plot, especially compared to other moments in the game.

And it all connected to xenosaga in the end. Future redeemed was FANTASTIC
There are two roads set before every individual.
Even as someone who has yet to play XC1 THIS cutscene held such a significance to me! I cant wait to get the full context. But this moment was the beginning of what put XC2 in a completely different league for me in terms of story. Chapter 10 made this game from good to almost legendary, a total mind fuck the likes of which I never could have predicted. The twist in this Chapter is still unbelievable to me. Holy hell what do you call a revelation? It would be this moment.

I cannot even put into words, just how much this song makes me think I'm watching something I'm not meant to see. Some kind of a deity must've smiled upon this beautiful piece of music, because It was like a god themselves performed the actions behind it. It truly feels like what I'm witnessing is the end and beginning of everything. The tension caused by the rhythm being kept by the strong strings that start at the beginning of the track. Only daring to be broken up by a choir and a graceful piano, like they're some sort of divine intervention to try and clarify what it is you're watching. God, this cutscene was beyond perfect, the arrangement just goes with every scene, every spoken piece of dialogue, so perfectly. Fucking hell, I couldn't even begin to imagine the pride that the writers, directors, ALL of them, must have over creating a mastercraft like this entire opening part of chapter 10.

In context, that was a really heartbreaking moment for everyone involved, especially Jin.

Oscar Cruz Ruiz This song also plays when Jin kills Fan
@@aleseaux You mean, Jin SPARES Haze
@@Ozzy_08x indeed, it's an act of mercy, don't take it personally.
I think it also plays in Torna during that scene after you fight Gorg for the first time with just Lora and Haze.
This seems to take cues from Jin's theme, particularly the part around 0:30. Which makes sense because it seems to play whenever he's around.
I had actually started by playing 2, since I’m always late to the amazing franchises, so I didn’t fully understand what was happening until I decided to delve into it and low and behold, once I found out this tied with one I lost my crap I was so excited. I had known one thanks to smash and I found it interesting but just couldn’t buy Xenoblade 1, so I instead bought two and now I’m a massive fan of the Xenoblade series.
Please say you bought xenoblade chronicles definitive edition.
Without Klaus, we would never have any of the xenoblade games
