@@FireFury190 This is true, Monolith Soft opened an office that dedicates to purely providing development support. My guess is that this is the one working on Breath of the Wild 2. Edit: i gad a brain fart and accidentally mentioned Xenoblade Chronicles 3 instead of Breath of the Wild 2
Eh I don't hear gort. But I think I do hear another voice alongside vandam's near the end of the trailer. Him being able to fuse would make so much to take the party in, and teach them how, because he recognizes they can do it too.
Yeah, it's hard to say for sure since Vandham's VA seems to be returning for a new character. Then again, there's a ton of wacky crap going on in here, so it very well could be? Who knows lol?
@@KayJulers actually I have a better theory. there was a 4chan leak video the day before xenoblade 3 was announced, not only did it predict the direct day, the xenoblade 3 announcement, and that it was taking place after xenoblade 1 and 2 connecting the futures, but it said the party this time were reincarnations of some of the party members of both games, like shulk and rex, and then there were returning characters, and that mythra would return and that malos is now back but as part of mythra. if you pay attention to the way that thing talks and moves his arms, doesn't it remind you of malos? xD what if mythra is inside that thing and malos is in control or being controlled?
@@KayJulers ruclips.net/video/95IjvxPJ8Yo/видео.html found the leak for the direct back in febuary that had the xenoblade 3 plot stuff. this leak came out literally the day before the direct and noone really covered it on youtube except this person, ended up getting the announcement and date right and everything, wouldn't be surprised if everything was credible.
I think the transformations are meant to tie in to the Trinity Processor. Noah and Mio's form looks like the Bionis (Ontos). Eunie and Taion's form looks a lot like Pneuma. Lanz and Sena's form is hard to say, but it's pretty bulky, just like Logos or potentially Aion (which Logos Piloted). I think this is gonna be the big reveal in the later chapters.
I noticed the similarity to the Bionis one and strangely enough the proto-Bionis model since it originally had wings on its back and this one seems to as well. I'm so excited to see how all of these elements actually connect with the narrative.
The pairings are of a blade and human...except for taion and eunie. The core on their oriborous form is much lower than the others, whose core crystals have been shown on mio and sina's chest and mirror that in their fused forms. Meaning either eunie or taion is secretly a blade or perhaps a perfect flesh eater like jin. Eunie's name being etched on...something might be a clue to that.
So if a Gnosis is a human breaking/refusing to join the Collective Unconcious...is Oroboros what happens when people are united in the want to refuse that fate? So Gnosis are what happens when an individual separates and rejects the Collective Unconcious. Oroborus is what happens when two or more people share a collective conscious towards their own personal goal?
Spot on. Also Orobos was a huge plot in Xenogears that involved the process of Reincarnation that Lahan and Eli = Adam and Eve. It was an the final boss in Xenogears I think. So it was speculated that these characters may have been reincarnated..
I heard a character mention the passage of fate in the trailer. That makes me wonder if these clocks that keep being mentioned are now directly tied to the passage of fate itself.
Yeah, it's hard to say for sure, but if the "they're just his fuel" from the last trailer wasn't what sold me on the Zanza vibes, then this surely does.
My guess is something like, after the Conduit disappeared there's a limited amount of energy from it left, so there's these clocks which regulate its use to try to keep it going as long as possible, but this also means it kills people after their time is up to avoid them using too much energy or something.
I don't know how to take the fusion thing except that visually it looks fantastic. Like, I wanted mech combat...but this? this I can get behind. Also the combat UI looks slick as hell.
@@KayJulers looks like fusion from dbz or astral chain, ALL THE YES!! if its formed through bonds, then it reminds me of biomerging to mega/ultimate from digimon tamers, but instead of digimon partner bond its a more relationship bond thing in xenoblade 3. looks amazing. also someone pointed out the first one of noah's fusion looks like a mech from xenogears. this is the kinda cool stuff I wanted steven universe fusions to be like but they were overall lame. I am looking forward to this.
@@infern209x if that’s the case then we could only hope for various forms between the playable characters. Personally i dont like the look a like visual of an EVA from evangelion, but the mechanic seems pretty good.
Jung thought proper psychological development involved the union of opposites. The end goal of this was individuation, the complete combination of a person and their shadow. There are a lot of Jungian themes in this.
@@Farre88 basically the opposite, but I think it's better to think of it as the complement, what you need to be whole. You need to combine the two to become one.
After seeing the fusions between pairs of characters, I wonder if it plays with you controlling one pair (maybe working like Torna's system) with the two other pairs (plus the occasional extra) controlled by AI. As in, there's six (or seven) but essentially three (or four).
That's the conclusion I've come to. There's a screenshot that shows what appear to be the "main" arts for your character on the right and some supplementary arts next to the "Interlink" icon. Noah's arts seem to occupy the right and Mio's look to be in the supporting role because of "Glow Ring", so I wouldn't be surprised if you could pick a lead for the pair, but they're essentially tied together.
Several years ago, I was surprised that XC2 made its December release date. Now here I am surprised that these mad lads moved the date closer. Monolith Soft are pure beasts.
Now I'm just confused on when Splatoon 3 is dropping. I figured it would come out in July, but now it looks like it could release in August or September
My crackpot theory is the 2 with the opposite red eyes are the 2 halves of the evil teeth mech and since it references what Zanza said about the passage of fate while holding mayneths monado in 1, the silver hair lady, Ethel is some evil incarnation of Galea or at least some kind of avatar for her like how Shulk was a host for Zanza.
There’s so far been 10 characters reveal will be part of the party, but only 6 on field at a time. FYI, the 10 are the main 6, the 2 nopons, and then Zeon, and other girl Edit: it’s 7 party members at once not 6
There's multiple instances of 7 party members being on the screen during all the gameplay we've seen, with at least 3 different characters taking up the 7th slot
It's unclear if the other two who aren't the Nopon will even be sticking around with you or if they'll be guest party members. Maybe you'll always be sticking with the core 6 and then occasionally other people will be joining you before splitting their own path alone? Hard to say for sure yet.
@@Glacidon I guess at those specific parts of the game the Nopons have not joined the party yet. Or maybe they are side characters all along this time.
Since characters are talking about being inside another, no doubt this will Be sex 3 Bad joke aside WTF The weird things look like fusions- blade things (one from each nation with their Counterpart probably some plot point about how they need to be together and there will Be a dungeon where the mechanic is blocked because the characters are angry with each other) Second thing the combat looks really cool so far hope it stays that way Third thing I Am the only One that tought the First character was poppi? Fourth thing I still dont get how the collector edition works in Europe man Fifth thing WTF WHAT DO YOU MEAN JULY WTF
Each of the Driver-Blade pairings in XB2 was a metaphor for a different type of love. Wonder what the pairings actually uniting into one being in this game could be a metaphor for.
@@Sauraen true! Maybe is more actually romantic or in paralels (I mean knowing someone that has similar visions on the World or something like that) Its just an idea tough
Something is up with Splatoon 3. Its summer 2022 and june is packed with Things like Mario Soccer and now July has Xenoblade… also Fire Emblem 3 Hopes aswell but thats not developed by nintendo directly August is usually an off month for nintendo. So where does Splatoon 3 fit in. Could they push it to Botw2s slot
Hmmm that is a good point. Doesn’t help that we’ve practically seen more from XC3 than Splatoon 3 at this point and the latter was announced first. Unless we get news soon, it might be delayed.
@@KayJulers apparently in latest trailer there was some qr code that hinted towards August 18th but that is the only real thing we have to go off of. In addition, theres still 1-2 games this second half we dont know about
There was so much going on in that trailer you have to rewatch it three different times the release date is a good sign Everyone will be able to enjoy as early as possible can't wait for all the breakdowns from You Enel and Luxin etc.
So xenoblade is making a crossover with evangelion and power rangers? the gameplay seems like they fused xc1, xc2, torna and xbx in one game. Looking forward for it
My theory is that this Gort-like guy is similar to Metalface (and Gort), and is a a recurring villain trough out the Game. I‘m pretty sure the Main villain still isn’t confirmed.
Of the bajillion things to be talked about, I just want to say that I am very uncomfortable with whatever the image of totally-not-Melia standing in front of some large machine with its ring glowing both ether blue and conduit yellow-green while proclaiming that any past objectives, ie., combatting her enemy nation of Agnus, are being thrown out the window in order to take down Ouroboros, insinuates about the national conflict. My brain's initial reaction is that given the dark lighting and atmosphere, Keves mighta just won or possibly even killed someone of import from Agnus to have fully activated the ring on that machine and now definitely-not-Melia is no longer concerned with the Keves-Agnus conflict. I'd say it's unlikely and that it'd be a fake-out if anything similar actually did play out, but my mind's worst-case-scenario is that probably-not-Nia got axed in some fashion and her own ring/clock or whatever is what transferred into the machine. I just also don't think it's possible that they kill off likely-not-Nia but then leave her Xenoblade 1 counterpart alive through to the end of the story, unless she'd also end up dead some time shortly after.
@@KayJulers I can't wait. thanks for your video. Given that Zel mentions song, I notice that the collector edition doesn't include a music CD like the previous XC1 and 2 Collector edition. Strange.

Honestly I thought the same thing too.
I'm pretty sure Monolithsoft has more than one team now to allow them to work on multiple projects with no compromises. Especially since all the hirings since Xenoblade 2 up until now.

LISTEN! I would just really like him to get more cool stuff LOL!
Eh I don't hear gort. But I think I do hear another voice alongside vandam's near the end of the trailer. Him being able to fuse would make so much to take the party in, and teach them how, because he recognizes they can do it too.
when people said that it might be a fusion between XC1 and XC2, i didn't expect it to be a legion fusion lol.
GATTAII!
Doubt that evil Ouroboros is Gort. He's been dead for hundreds of years now. Does sound like him tho, so maybe same VA.
Gort was a failed experiment. Maybe whatever that is is a successful one?
