This happened to me last night. I knew for hours that I had to break the levee, but I was so blind that I didn't think to just use the camera to follow the path down to the island you need to be on, and just swam around for hours
Fun fact, a simple switch from Nia (with dromarch out) to rex pushing against the gate's corner should sink him just enough to get under said gate and have him pop up on the other side. Best part is that you get the tardy gate landmark so you don't have do that over and over (but the chest underwater is worth getting sooo....)
I saw the huge staircase and thought I could go up that way. Needless to say, realising I had to climb all the way back up made me sad. At least the secret area tied to those stairs is cool when you manage to get there xD
@@antimatterstudios8395 A way to get there, you mean? You earn some CRAZY momentum when you reach the end of those waterslides, on the sides of the stairway. It's a tight jump, however.
Getting lost in Uraya in my first playthrough was one of the best experiences I've had in a videogame as when in one of the nights a petal storm started and I witnessed one of the most beautiful sceneries in all videogame media.
So I want to tell a story for a bit, when i first played the game I really didn't care much for it. It was because the gameplay felt slow, the blade combos where a bit confusing and I didn't not enjoy the gacha system at all. while i did enjoy some of story beats like Pyra's awakening or Morag's introduction, I still didn't feel that story pull like Xeno 1 had, it felt Gormotti was just trying to be Bionis leg 2, big open field of grass, some verticality, and level 81 monkey ready to kill you. I will say it has cool music and i do like how the area looks but it didn't hook me like Bionis leg did, it may have been the fact the map is all on one layer and trying to understand how to get around Gormotti was a bit of a pain. but at first that didn't stop me, I still wanted to see how the story went, and the furthest i was after the first Akhos fight. I think it was the combination of mechinics like the gacha styem, the blade combo system and the chain attack system was a little too much for me and the game did not allow you to review tutorials so I easily forgot about alot of things, it just felt too much for me, so I ended up selling the game. So about year and a half or so go by and definitive edition gets released, so when i'm at gamestop I see this game marked down, and i thought to myself that even with the faults of the game, I still wanted to at least see the story through, so i decied to give the game a second chance, but only after I play through the first game again. by a stroke of luck, a week or so after I beat definitive edition that was when Chuggaaconroy started his lets play on the game, i thought it was cool that he started this game around the same time i wanted to get back into it, but I actually decided to put my playthrough on wait for a bit and watch Chugga up until the part where i was at, that was the best decision I made. Thanks to Chugga's lets play I was able to understand the game mechanics alot better, i started to understand blade combos and chain attacks, and I even found the true power of pouch items, it felt like a new door opened up. so Chugga gets to Uraya that is when my second wind for the game kicked it, I booted up the game, collected all the items I missed thanks to his lets play, and I started to head to Uraya Stomach. when I got the stomach it was a sight to behold the glowing trees you see when your atop Cobalt cliffs, this song that plays in the background as you stare off into the distance, i was left staring at the distance for awhile, it was stunning. the introduction of Zeke, the journey through the stomach getting to Fonsa myma, the battle at the ruins and the whole Mytrha reveal just so amazing. this chapter, this area, this song really made me fall in love with this game, if it wasn't thanks to the lucky fortune of Chugga starting his lets play, I may never be in here telling my story, but you could say it was, the passage of fate.
This game is so magical, I’m so glad Chuggaa is helping people like you find out just how amazing Xenoblade 2 is after you figure out how the game really works outside of the bad tutorials. I remember in my first playthrough in the last area of the game there was a moment when the combat just finally clicked for me, the story was hitting all the right beats, the music constantly captured me, I beat the game on the same day and in that one whirlwind Xenoblade 2 became my favorite game. I hope maybe it’ll become yours too, or at least close :)
I had been a fan of Xenoblade 1 for a long time since I had been watching Chugga for years. I eventually got my hands on DE and fell in love with it. I was hesitant on getting 2 just because I heard about it's bad reputation, but I gave in after watching his tutorial video. For the first portion of the game (up until after the first Morag fight), I didn't realize what Core Chips did. Luckily, I had started to watch Chugga's LP up to where I was, and this helped me understand mechanics and realize how amazing the combat system is. When I got to Uraya, my first instinct was "great a poison swamp" after seeing the bottom portion of the head. Then I met Vandham, and that may be one of the most influential moments in gaming for me. The rest of Uraya made me realize that this game is something special, and the day theme will probably be my favorite piece of music for the rest of time.
I totally understand how you feel. I played Xenoblade Chronicles 2 at the request of my friend who had gotten to the end. Back then, I was a HUGE fan of Xenoblade Chronicles 1. So I had big expectations going into Xenoblade 2. Needless to say, I was kinda confused. The mechanics were strange and I couldn't understand it at all. My friend tried to help me, but admitted he wasn't the most proficient in the mechanics either. Playing through Gormott was kinda a bore. Like you said, I didn't really have a pull into the story yet. I really was only chugging along because my friend kept telling me it would get better. So I kept going, only half invested. Until Uraya. I was floored by how beautiful it was. And that's when other mechanics started opening up. I was sure that there was some part of the combat mechanics I was missing. So, I took to RUclips. This was before Chugga's Let's Play. I literally took an hour to watch videos and study up the on the mechanics. Then I started grinding to put what I was seeing into motion. Once it clicked, BOY did it click. Once I was able to understand the full extent of the mechanics, it was like a whole new game. I was actually having a lot of fun. I wasn't a master yet, but I was able to pull off some of the elemental combos and chain attacks. Uraya was also where the story started to get more pull for me. Vandam was an amazing character that I got attached to rather quickly. The reveal of mythra was also unexpected. it was amazing. From then on, I was hooked. Uraya is still my favorite area because of this. and the gorgeous music of course.
The closest i can feel like im playing xenoblade chronicles is listening to the music, ive seen comments about it that its a good game to play and its underrated so i dont watch any gameplays because i dont want to get spoiled and the feeling of experiencing the game for the first time is the best thing you can experience especially with a calming music like this. The day i can earn money is the time i can invest on a nintendo switch lite and the game. As of now all i can do is listen to this music and just imagine that im playing the game but with a different plot so that i wont think about the main game's plot lol.
I would recommend you to save for the normal switch, This Game on the switch Lite doesnt look very well. I have played It on both, so I know It Will take u more time but It improves the experiencie. Good luck!!
LeoDesKa do you like anime? JRPGs? To spend 100+ in a game? A great story with lovable characters? Fun gameplay? I recommend Xenoblade Chronicles 2 (and 1). They're both A-MA-ZING.
I second fernando. I played XBC1 first (awesome game -- you can play on a Wii emulator), which I recommend doing immediately before playing XBC2 on the Switch (buy this one to support Monolithsoft and Nintendo). Both have top-notch environments, soundtracks, and gameplay.
Spoilers After Vandham died, I left Fonsa Myma on the same path I took from Garfont, at night, once you leave the city after chapter 3, good god, it gave me tears. Vandham was a really cool character that we didn’t get to see much of, the feels of having an awesome character die, combined with this music was just, too much for me.
I was trying to get to the capital with my parents watching me and I mentioned the music and my dad started to listen and he sat down there in the basement for like forty minutes just listening watching me get to the capital oh the memories I cried listening to this again
Xenoblade music gives me such feels. I miss my friend being next to me as he encouraged me to keep pushing through and us laughing at some of the cutscene delivery. Miss you bro
This game can be a way smoother experience on a 2nd playthrough or with a guide because you can ACTUALLY KNOW WHERE THE FUCK YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO GO LMAO. I love this game but it does a really good job of making you not want to play it sometimes.
This song is easily one of my top 10 songs in the game. But dang, 7 minutes and change? That's pretty long for one track if I want to listen to the whole OST (and often I do). That seems to be the case with all the area themes. They loop more than once before an outro that you don't actually hear in-game because, well, it loops before that point. Seems that's the way they're put into the game files, which is...kinda odd. Hopefully when MONOLITH releases the OST officially they could make it so that these songs go all the way through once and then have the little outro things. That'd be pretty cool. And it would mean that listening to the entire wonderful OST of this game would be a sub-3 or 4 hour affair.
I'd actually prefer that they loop a couple times before ending. It feels too abrupt to hear the entire thing only once, especially if its a song I really like, such as this one. Other rips on RUclips only include one loop for this song, which is less than 2 minutes, and it just feels too short and abrupt.

Song of getting distracted by a big unreachable stairway to the point you can't find the path you're actually supposed to take.
Literally found my way to the city by trying to find where that stairway connected to
Bro I spent ages trying to find where to go to the point where I literally looked it up and still got confused 😅
Then face palmed when you _finally_ see the pathway on your left of the mercenaries. I apparently passed it multiple times over a 3 hour period.
this song made me cry from memories of running through Uraya, my grandpa watched me play this game. I miss my grandpa.
Dare I ask what your reaction was the the Uyran tunnels?
He used to watch you play? Sounds like a cool grandpa... did he die?
@@funnynameforme4091 late reply but I cried a bit
@@lemmyxpro no, I just haven't seen him in almost a year. I miss him a lot.
@@Bingchillingbarbking Damn... hope you can see him sometime again.
Getting stuck trying to reach Uraya Capital while swimming in the oceans at night is quite memorable. Just break the levee to progress
This happened to me last night. I knew for hours that I had to break the levee, but I was so blind that I didn't think to just use the camera to follow the path down to the island you need to be on, and just swam around for hours
This happened to me today, i didn't knew where to go cause it's my first time playing it, but i really enjoyed both versions of the song

The real Xenoblade 2 experience is not knowing how the hell to get into Fonsa Myma your first time :'D
If only it were all an accedent
Anyone else got lost trying to get to Uraya's capital?
yep. twice.
I saw the huge staircase and thought I could go up that way.
Needless to say, realising I had to climb all the way back up made me sad. At least the secret area tied to those stairs is cool when you manage to get there xD
VonFirflirch is there even a get to the bottom part of those stairs?
@@antimatterstudios8395
A way to get there, you mean?
You earn some CRAZY momentum when you reach the end of those waterslides, on the sides of the stairway.
It's a tight jump, however.
VonFirflirch oh ok thanks
Getting lost in Uraya in my first playthrough was one of the best experiences I've had in a videogame as when in one of the nights a petal storm started and I witnessed one of the most beautiful sceneries in all videogame media.
Absolutly me too!!
I didn't know how to get to Fonsa Myma in my first playthrough and I assure you it wasn't fun 😂
@@Fermin-hw5pd same. I got stuck for about a week trying to get to fonsa myma
This whole ost is really unique. Makes xc2 feel like a magical time period
This track was the moment I realized I was completely absorbed in this world
How the hell am I to know I'm supposed to drain that pond.
I spent 3 hours thinking about it, in the meantime I did some side quests and figured it out while going the wrong way for a side quest.
Really? I found out the solution in like 10 minutes lmao.
I accidentally drained the pond before finding out you were suppose too xD
Damn I didn't even realize the current versions of this on RUclips weren't high quality. This sounds so crisp and beautiful :D
Once you hear HQ audio you can't go back. It really is something else.
Okay... I'll admit, coming here again in my second playthrough, I honestly got a bit emotional. This song is just so beautiful... what a great game.
4:43 that drop of water is beautiful
There's drops at plenty other parts of the song too 😇
0:03
love this game, years later aand the ost still encapsulates the awe and wonder of the first time
absolute beauty
Flora heals an aching soul

Good luck!!
Did you get to play the games yet???
After all you did it???
This song really invoked a sense of wonder in me. I think it was Uraya that basically solidified that I would love this game.
Man I miss the xenoblade Chronicles 2 era so much
Same here
Pyra tiddies
i wish xenoblade 2 and its music were as beloved as persona 5
1:39-2:20 My goodness... The whole theme is wonderful, but that part in particular just sounds wonderful...
Top tier night theme
This and Fonsett are the two best night themes in the game by a mile.
Those petals falling while this is playing. The most beautiful place in the game.
Years later and this location and track is still one of the most mesmerizing experiences I've had in a video game.
I haven't played this game, but the music sounds so cool
The music alone makes the game worth playing. Play it if you can! This song is one of my personal favorites.

GO...
PLAY...
THIS...
GAME!!!
Its a true masterpiece
A detail about this song that I love is the little splashes that they worked into the track. Really builds the atmosphere.
The Xenoblade series has a track record for making swamp areas have absolutely BEAUTIFUL music.
U remember Garfont.
There was a mercenary from there.
He will be remembered
So many feelings in one theme
one of my favorite songs in the game..kinda fell in love with the game when i heard this song.
i always try to emotionally prepare myself when i hear the part at 1:35 come, but i never can. the tears always come. this song is so good
Ive never played this game before but this song is so beautiful
It's definitely a unique experience, and I've personally found that neither Xenoblade 1 or 3 match the feeling I got from Xenoblade 2.
Need to replay this again from a fresh start!
I really get the nature vibes in this song.
I’m glad I’m not the only one who was lost, that staircase threw me OFF!!!
this game changed my life
0:54 I love this part
This song, and Gormott (Night), are my favorite songs from this entire game. Such masterpieces.
Spoilers
After Vandham died, I left Fonsa Myma on the same path I took from Garfont, at night, once you leave the city after chapter 3, good god, it gave me tears.
Vandham was a really cool character that we didn’t get to see much of, the feels of having an awesome character die, combined with this music was just, too much for me.
I hear elements of Engage the Enemy opera sections in the quiet voice undertones in this track
If this isn't played at my funeral, I'm not there.
I was trying to get to the capital with my parents watching me and I mentioned the music and my dad started to listen and he sat down there in the basement for like forty minutes just listening watching me get to the capital oh the memories I cried listening to this again
Poor Uraya and Mechonis, the war consumed both before XC3
the urayan titan did survive until the end of 2 though
this song makes me float off of my chair and start ascending to heaven, to think this masterpiece only played cause rex got vored
Don't think I've ever seen a video with 70k views not have a single dislike... hopefully I didn't jynx it, this is beautiful
You jinxed it, now there's one dislike :(
This level was the best thing in this game by a wide margin
As I spend hours getting lost in Uraya this is the song that kept me from ragequiting lol
Xenoblade music gives me such feels. I miss my friend being next to me as he encouraged me to keep pushing through and us laughing at some of the cutscene delivery. Miss you bro
I can hear the main motif of Dragon's Dogma main menu here. Very similar.
2017 wishes you happy holidays!
Ah yes, the music that plays in the beautiful titan of Uraya... which sort of swallowed you...
Whats with xenoblade and having some of the best music ever conceived by humanity
Wonderful.
0:56 Honestly, this has got to be one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever heard in a video game. Truly amazing 😍
1:38 pega súper fuerte...
OMG IM NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO GOT LOST TRYING TO GO TO THE CAPITAL OMG!
This game can be a way smoother experience on a 2nd playthrough or with a guide because you can ACTUALLY KNOW WHERE THE FUCK YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO GO LMAO. I love this game but it does a really good job of making you not want to play it sometimes.

...speaking of long things this comment is really long too lol
i just couldn't really find a way to put it in shorter terms
Yep, they're stored in game like this. The OST releases will be much shorter, probably 1~2 loops and the ending bit.
Cool stuff.
I'd actually prefer that they loop a couple times before ending. It feels too abrupt to hear the entire thing only once, especially if its a song I really like, such as this one. Other rips on RUclips only include one loop for this song, which is less than 2 minutes, and it just feels too short and abrupt.
Jnn575 What would you say is your favorite theme in the game?For me:
Area Theme: Leftherian Archipelago (Night)
Battle Theme:Still, Move Forward!
Realized 0:54 was the opening of XC3 Iris Network
delicious
I hate ignas
