@@paragonoftorna2548 same, I love the whole xenoblade 2 soundtrack, its my fav of all the games, all the other games I just love a few tracks here and there, but xenoblade 2 nailed every single track in the soundtrack to me.
In Maktha forest, in the waterfalls, there is a checkpoiny called "Titans Head" and I believe it is the corpse of Rex Gramps Another reference I have found is when you do the Inos Mission and the music that sounds in the boss fight is the same as the regular battle theme from XC2 Also, I believe Inos creator was Tora or a descendant from him
@@Nelsito99 there are multiple ways. 1. Titan’s store their data in their core crystals so as long as the core crystal was still intact you could recreate Torna 2. The master blade holds all of the data of all the core crystals so even if Torna’s core crystal was destroyed, Torna’s data still exists inside the master blade’s core crystal. 3. Parts of Torna were still intact in Morytha and with the dissolution of the cloud sea, all of the titans turned into stone, this likely also applied to Torna’s corpse.
@@tepig2828 I guess only option 2 would work as both the reason you gave but also Mythra and a few others were physically there as we see the torna titan's core literally explode and the cloud sea probably would have "eroded" the tornan corpes but that would also mean that pyra and mythra has to be part of origin or input that data for some reason, side note why is it the only place not fused with any place from bionis or mechonis
One of my favorite moments was when we wake up Nia and in the cutscene it starts playing Drifting Souls from XBC2 where Mythra is first awakened from Pyra. I started crying.
this is kind of a smaller thing but in Keves castle you can find the gold statues that were in Alcomoth. As for music, their is a LOT more to cover. A lot of the musical references aren't just direct remixes of themes from 1 and 2
They've given us pretty much everything we could've asked for in this game I'm so grateful to get a game where my fan service not only delivered but left me satisfied
Many parts of the world broke off into separate places, like Gaur Plain, part of it is in Milick Meadow, but part of it is in the Cent-Omnia region as well, there's a small piece of Uraya in Erythia sea (Where Nimue's village sits) and there's a small part of Valak Mountain in Erythia too (The island with the crystals) even tough most of it was in the Black Mountains in Cent-Omnia. Pieces of Satorl seem to have eneded up strewn all over the map, some of them can be found in western Fornis combines with what looks to be remnants of the Bionis Interior and some are in Maktha and Erythia. Uraya was mostly combined with Teprha Cave and all the spider nests inside it, and Maktha is obviously a combination of Makna Forest and Morytha, the fallen arm is in Fornis and Keves Castle is built on top of the ruins of Mor Ardain. There's even parts of Torna in Fornis; the two locations that are suspiciously absent are the Mechonis and the World Tree, but I suspect these were used as the main components of Origin, as you can actually see the elevators from Central Factory and Agniratha repurposed inside of it.
Holy crap! I can't believe I missed so many references! Though I did play through the entire series starting from last spring with XCX and plowed through 1 and 2 kinda fast. Didn't really soak them both in thoroughly. I can't wait to replay all of them! 😊
Some of this also kinda tickled my funny bone seeing these locations as in more like I ended up hitting my crying bone when I was at these locations you also for got as well my boy that Nia and Melia's special theme songs Slaps the sax killed me in Melia's theme but they also needed to be in the video so peeps got a sneak peek lol I cried when I got too Uraya mountains when I saw the town first time some other tracks I never picked up on till later you also for to put I chapter 5 sword march's entrance theme is also a remix version of sword valley also.
I didn't even know that Swordmarch was a Sword Valley remix. As for Melly's and Nia's battle themes, I mentioned and played them in the video I made about the special post game heroes
@@paragonoftorna2548 mhm I see id have to check it out and yes you would need to stand outside the area of the great sword a bit and listen to it carefully if you can I'd probably have to check the music video out Kelly's theme is my favourite cause of FC remix and Nia's theme is also good but I lean towards liking Melly more.
@@paragonoftorna2548 Same bud im with you there lol :P but hope you check the other music out i'd let you know if others tickle my fancy hope we get special music for the wave 2 DLC soon.
I feel like the arm by kevees castle that you said is from mor ardain is more likely from the bionism reason is is because that appears to be to a left hand stick out of of the ground, and Ardain specifically is missing its left arm
The thing is, the Syra Islands area is the same terrain and barren landscape as Mor Ardain, their collectibles are both the same and you can see the Ardainian Titan's death body somewhere near Colony 11.
Yeah I keep seeing people saying that we see the left arm when it's clearly a right arm connected to the right shoulder. I don't understand how that looks anything like a left arm. It's even on the right side
They got Uraya and Fonsa Myma so wrong. Everything is facing the opposite way it is supposed to. The easiest way to tell is by looking down what was previously the slide down down below Uraya's stomach area, to the bit of water you could use field skills to get through and find the queen's place or whatever. (forgot what it was called.) In XC3, it goes down and not far away you can see you hit a dead end, having reached one of the ends of the titan. But Fonsa Myma is all the way at the back of Uraya in XC2, so the fact that the great stairway leads down to a dead end instead of the other direction which is clearly where the stomach area used to be makes no sense. Idk how they messed this up. This also means that the part of the Great Stairway that extends up to olethro ruins appears to be going up the wrong way too, instead towards the stomach area. They also made the titan completely non-hollow, which makes no sense at all. They ruined Uraya.
@@paragonoftorna2548 I bet the reason Z took melia to access origin is because she bonded with the mobeus in origin the best because she’s suffered more than anyone else lmao
I actually forgot to include Tantal. There's a mossy rock formation above Aetia sticking out of the text box on the left in the map that looks a lot like Genbu
The Monado Shulk had in Future Redeemed is not the actual Monado REX+. It's a blade created in Aionios like all the other blades. Same with Rex's Aegis Swords. They're not the actual swords
These are awesome and I appreciate all the work you've done. I spent the last six months putting in hundreds of hours on all three games. BUT does any of it make sense yet? Are we hoping for the last DLC to explain this mess? Is headcanon the point? Meaning the story connecting all three will never be explained by the creators?
The song from Xenoblade 2 at 21:41 where Nia talks about the Saffronia trees is called Jump Towards the Morning Sun
Ok thank you so much. I've been looking for that for so long
@@paragonoftorna2548 yeah one of the scenes its used in xenoblade 2 is when pyra is asking if the bump on rex's forehead still hurts from mythra.
Yeah I love the song, I just never knew the name
@@paragonoftorna2548 same, I love the whole xenoblade 2 soundtrack, its my fav of all the games, all the other games I just love a few tracks here and there, but xenoblade 2 nailed every single track in the soundtrack to me.

Ino's creator was a different Nopon named Soosoo. Completely unrelated to the one in 2
Shoutout to Z just copy pasting all of the assets stored in origin into a new world.
Kinda smart ngl
But how the hell did he get a save file of the desert in torna (forgetting the exact name) that place was destroyed then left to rot for 500 years
Maybe he used the Encephalon🤷🏽♀️

It's not the XC2 Nia. Melia asks why she's affecting the long dead Nia's accent.

I might make another video since there's way too much to cover in just one video
one thing, the song that plays throughout the Urayan Tunnels is a remix of the Bionis Interior theme from XBC1
Really? I heard that it was a remix of Ether Mines but didn't hear it. I'll have to check it out!
Really? I had no idea.
Yes, Uraya became primarily combined with the different interiors of Bionis (Teprha cave, the ether mines) which is why there's so many spiders in it.
20:52 The theme that plays here is actually "Elysium in the dream" from XC2
Yeah I realized I named the wrong song after uploading
They've given us pretty much everything we could've asked for in this game
I'm so grateful to get a game where my fan service not only delivered but left me satisfied
Absolutely trash game because no Mythra👎🏽
@@paragonoftorna2548 maybe Mythra was inside us all along
If only it was the other way around...

I'm sure there's even more that I missed. This game is so packed full of references, it's amazing!
The place that restricts interlink is 100% Elpys.
I figured but I didn't want to out right say it because I wasn't sure
18:08 If it is. Looks like it got fused with the Bionis interior given how vibrant it is

I'd have to look again but Uraya looks perfectly proportional to how it is in 2 to me
22:08 not the title theme, that’s “shulk and fiora”. The melody is a remix of the main theme though
Oh wow I didn't even know. Good catch
Nia gets the D and 3 songs and then to add insult to injury melias only song in the game is titled “shulk and fiora” 💀

Most of the Xenoblade Chronicles fans look how they massicure the slope of Valak Mountain and the stairs in Uaiya.
Huh?
Maybe Captocorn Peak is Tantal's outern shell? Or perhaps it is Valak Mountain?
I actually forgot to include Tantal. There's a mossy rock formation above Aetia sticking out of the text box on the left in the map that looks a lot like Genbu
Captocorn peak is the head of gormott
Valak Mountain is one of the islands in Erythia Sea.

Yes. That is speculated to be the hand of Mor Ardain
