>Rich, pretty, smart, near immortal, noble. And Shulk chose a default country bumpkin childhood friend that's typically destined to be a third wheel over all of those.
Melia: Chases down the extremely dangerous Telethia to keep the Nopon safe, keeps her word to get Shulk to Eryth Sea and into Prison Island, sincerely mourns the deaths of her guardians and wishes to apologize to their families, temporarily abandons the throne of Alcamoth to fight in the war against Mechonis, gives up her crush when she realizes Shulk doesn't feel the same, loses her brother and her people and still goes out of her way to cheer Fiora up, destroys the traitor and vows to become the Hope of the High Entia, helps destroy Zanza and create a new world, goes back to the Bionis Shoulder to reclaim Alcamoth, stops the Fog King and saves the world. Fiora: Makes a sandwich and gets angry because Shulk didn't praise her enough, gets herself captured, refuses to create a meaningful relationship with anyone in the party but Shulk, actively keeps Shulk from talking to others, gets Meyneth and Gadolt killed, forces a girl who just lost her entire kingdom to pity HER because she is sad that Shulk is asleep, gets angry at Shulk again because he didn't praise her enough for her ugly haircut. This is why most people prefer Melia.
Don't forget that one scene before the final battle where everyone says something motivation that signifies their resolve and Fiora quite literally just says Shulk. You just can't make this shit up.

I'm now wondering... (Spoilers for both Xenoblade Chronicles 1 + 2) Melia: Is a half blood High Entia (aka has to deal with racist tones) Got 4 bodyguards killed. Stepmother wants her dead. Father dies right in front of her. When she starts falling in love with Shulk, Fiora arrives and dashes any hopes of that happening. Shulk dies (temporarily) Entire Race dies. Her brother is kissed and she is forced to kill him. Nia: Awoke from her core crystal to heal her "sister". Is forced to become a flesh eater, aka her sister is dead. Lives in poverty. Father dies, leaving Nia all alone, with only Dromach (who now that I think about it, if that's her father's blade, imagine the trauma of seeing a old friend not remember anything.... I now really want to know more about Dromach's past) Is hunted by nearly every military for being a flesh eater. Gets betrayed by her own team. Has to deal with not showing her powers due to the fear of being exposed as a flesh eater, letting Vandham die (though let's be real, Pyra/Mythra are also to blame for not using their full power earlier) Nia gets rejected in the most embarrassing way possible (though she seems fine with it) All Torna Members die (which she would be most affected by Jin). Going through some unknown nightmare that Zanza set up. I mean both suffer through deaths of a brother/sister and father, have to deal with being judged by being half blood/flesh eater and are sidelined for the main girls (which Fiora is good, Mythra is good and Pyra is my least favourite character). The main difference is that we see the suffering of Melia firsthand, while Nia's suffering has already happened. Melia's is about getting through it while still remaining strong, while Nia's is about opening up and not being afraid to show her true self. Still there are a lot of similarities between the two than I even expected. Also joke ship of Melia X Nia. If the protagonists won't date them, they'll just date each other.
Takahashi in 2020: Speaking of the concept behind the Definitive Edition’s new story Futures Connected, Takahashi-sanstarts with “Poor Melia” which he defines a “half-joke.” I'm pretty sure he watched this video... they even added a Nopon Squad to the fight
You missed the the part we’re Shulk saves the life of her fathers killer. Then they go on to murder most of her race despite them being more savable then cyborgs with no organs.
I don’t get why they bring fiora back tbh. It would have been better for her to stay dead. The narrative’s starter was good enough, we don’t need her to suddenly show up mid game. I think it makes much more sense for shulk to slowly move on from his dead girl and find happiness with melia as it’s way more realistic that way.
Melia had a hardass life, she didn't deserve any of the things that happened to her. Don't forget the part where her step-sister is part of the plan to kill her. Then after reuniting with her and helping her kill their step-mother, her only remaining family flies away to never be seen again.
With xbc3 this is now outright sadism, they gave her a happy end in FC only to make her even sadder in xbc3 with a character even nothing that "Melia is filled with sadness".
Find yourself a girl/boyfriend that loves you the same way Tetsuya Takahashi hates Melia

I mean both suffer through deaths of a brother/sister and father, have to deal with being judged by being half blood/flesh eater and are sidelined for the main girls (which Fiora is good, Mythra is good and Pyra is my least favourite character). The main difference is that we see the suffering of Melia firsthand, while Nia's suffering has already happened. Melia's is about getting through it while still remaining strong, while Nia's is about opening up and not being afraid to show her true self. Still there are a lot of similarities between the two than I even expected.
Also joke ship of Melia X Nia. If the protagonists won't date them, they'll just date each other.
Nia gets to join the foursome so it works out well for her. Melia on the other hand...
Monolith said the same thing Melia would sometimes say in a chain attack while creating Melia...
*"You must suffer more."*
And now she getting an official scale figurine, from good smile company, the same people that did the popular Pyra and Mythra figurines.
well, she get her own epilogue as well
TIMMY, TEN YEARS LATER: _laughs in Future Connected_
Now she a villain
Takahashi in 2020: Speaking of the concept behind the Definitive Edition’s new story Futures Connected, Takahashi-sanstarts with “Poor Melia” which he defines a “half-joke.”
I'm pretty sure he watched this video... they even added a Nopon Squad to the fight
Capping it off with Tragic Decision is the icing on the cake.
Man can wait to experience a heartbreaking friend zone again but in HD.
and this is why melia is going to start a war in xenoblade 3
"Everyone is happy with the decisions we made."
Timmy: Ok I believe you.
And then Timmy decides he has had enough and holds the future Connected team hostage.
0:48 Gotta love how 6 is now Reyn time
When is *MonolithSoft* gonna become *_MonolithEnix_* already?
They already were. Actually thats what they were in the beginning. Xenogears was that.
@@MakoTenseii and then they were mononamaco
@@potatomari9644 and now they're monotendo
Monolith is born by a division from Square
And Nomura considers Takahashi as one of his Senpai
Yeah Imagine the Definitive Edition ended after leaving Colony 9
no thanks
You missed the the part we’re Shulk saves the life of her fathers killer. Then they go on to murder most of her race despite them being more savable then cyborgs with no organs.
They're less savable cause Fiora bended the plot to her favor.
Time to see melia's misery in hd
That obligatory 1 frame message right at the end is some dark magic, even going frame by frame it doesn't show up
Everyone except melia indeed. At least future connected gives her a good ending
Still waiting on KH Re:Mind in a Nutshell
The only thing Melia hasn’t done is fall into the Shadow Rea- I mean Realm of Darkness for twelve years. Aqua’s still got her beat on that.
friendzone beyond friendzone
Luckily she gets her happy ending now with Future Connected
missed a chance to make a starlight kick joke at the end
Melia: hey shul-
Reyn: allie oop " throws milia in the trash, where she belongs"
I wish I could favorite a comment.
VISIBLE ANGER
I don’t get why they bring fiora back tbh. It would have been better for her to stay dead. The narrative’s starter was good enough, we don’t need her to suddenly show up mid game. I think it makes much more sense for shulk to slowly move on from his dead girl and find happiness with melia as it’s way more realistic that way.
This is a certified "Poor Melia" moment
Melia had a hardass life, she didn't deserve any of the things that happened to her. Don't forget the part where her step-sister is part of the plan to kill her. Then after reuniting with her and helping her kill their step-mother, her only remaining family flies away to never be seen again.
Yeaaah....about that "never seen again"...
Melia fighting with guards would be so interesting and would make her playstyle fun
I'm here to tell you Melia have the worst 80th birthday ever in XC3. Adios!
With xbc3 this is now outright sadism, they gave her a happy end in FC only to make her even sadder in xbc3 with a character even nothing that "Melia is filled with sadness".
"We need a bird in the game"
*someone puts in melia*
"I got you covered"
I guess no one hates Melia's life other than Melia herself
Alright, now do exactly this
*but for the entire plot of Xenogears*
I love this video so much. I come to watch it whenever I’m sad, and it always tends to cheer me up😂
