Support MonolithSoft!
25 hours later this game was amazing. The ending was fantastic and the music was on another level. I really hope we are getting 3 because this series is becoming one of my favourites.
Wild Link Nintendo’s definitely started to realize that Monolith Soft is one of their best developers right now, considering they’re starting to help out with other Nintendo games as well. Xenoblade Chronicles 2 also sold pretty well so there’ll definitely be a third game eventually.
@Fortnite is CANCER Okay, okay looking back at my comment now I think I responded in the wrong comment thread somehow, haha my bad. But yeah I do remember a while back around E3, I think monolith mentioned something about Xenoblade and whatnot, hinting towards a new game. And I saw some art for some sort of new IP, although I'm not too sure if it was real cuz it was only shown to me by someone.
One of the best DLC i have ever seen, thank you, Nintendo and MonolithSoft. Now, please, Xenoblade X for switch, this game deserve more attention. ALSO: >still no playable Malos >still no Torna swimsuits >still no original Nia outfit for driver form meh meh meh
@@Pokefan000000 look up reviews of people who have played it. I personally loved it. It was my first in the series. I would say to stay away from dunkey's review cuz it's just for comedy. And to stay away from BeatEmUps review cuz he never finished it. Watch dunkeys afterwards if you do buy and play the game. It's my favorite game on the switch, but you could end up hating it or loving it. Definitely look up gameplay and review. Also the combat is more fun to play then to watch. But yeah. Make that decision.
@@jerryborjon whoo boy. If you don't like it just leave a dislike on the video and keep going. Idk why you'd take the time to go even on the comment section to tell others not to get it. If you're gonna do that at least explain why
"Malos the All-Knowing!" "A Dilligent Studen, you could say!" oI love this Dialoge ^^ or, one of my other favorites:" Looks like I'm in our Dinner Duty tonight. Does anyone have any Requests? "Oh, do something meaty" "Understood. Steamed Vegtables it is" Both, the main Game and the (Best) DLC (ever) does have so many great sentences. Some are really epic, some are very Emotional and maaaaaaany are extremly funny.
Thanks for such an incredible amount of quality DLC, Mololith Soft! Loved every minute of Torna; it's among the best DLC that I've ever bought. Hopefully XC2 and Torna's success means that a Xenoblade X port and Xenoblade X2 will make it to the Switch! Us X fans are waiting to finally finish that story!
It just blows my mind how an incredible powerful AI(MALOS) evaluates the human race as a species and after doing multiple experiments and evaluating the results the only conclusion is that we are a danger to ourselves and decides to purge them all with his own super power. But just a bunch of good people and another AI are the only hope humanity has left. pure pottery.
@@r.3625 yeah, they hinted at a sequel of this game real hard... Plus that new girl had the monado color scheme and malos used monado arts... maybe they are tied in some form?
This DLC feels like what the original XC2 should have been like. More refined gameplay, better party members, a severe lack of fanservice (thank Monad), two blades for each party member (as opposed to the horrendous core crystal gacha system), and a much more interesting and better designed protagonist. Plus, who doesn't love jazz?
Not really fake. If Alvis really is the third core processing unit, then that means that Alvis is an Aegis, therefore, Shulk is wielding an aegis sword. So either Malos, Mythra and Alvis' swords are Monados, or they're aegis swords. So technically you could say Rex is also already wielding a monado.
Even though* XC2 released Dec *1st, I wish this game as a whole could be a nominee for GOTY... it's definitely my 2018 GOTY If Torna could be nominated, I would love to see DLC win.
I Finally finished Xenoblade Chronicles 2 today which I got December last year. Sadly around the time when I got to tantal my switch bricked so I sadly had to replay a huge chunk of it. Anyway despite thisI loved the game so much so I’ll defiantly be getting torna: the golden country for Christmas.
So.. I haven't really played Xenoblade Chronicles 2 in any capacity yet.. Should I finish the main game first before Torna? Or since this is a prequel story.. wouldn't it make more sense for me to start with Torna the Golden country first, and then play the main Xenoblade Chronicles 2 campaign? Either way, the story I've gleaned from watching Torna looks more interesting than the main campaign with Rex..
Definitely just finish the main game. It's amazing. The director said a good way to play the dlc is to play it between chapters 7 and 8 of the main game, but I really disagree, since that's one of the best parts of the game and IMO the flow shouldn't be interrupted
Personally I'd play Torna before playing the main game, or at least play it before getting back to the main game if you have started the main game. In my opinion Torna is far superior to the main game. Better story, better characters, better gameplay and a far better ending.
+Tye the Monado Boy I really disagree with that, I think Torna spoils many twists of the main game, and it's a far simpler story. Not sure Mythra's depiction really worked. Just my opinion though!
If I get this game should i get the normal xenoblade chronicles 2 or does this one have the other one and the torna story ?? I'm new to this game so please help :p And if I need both, which one should I play first ???
If u want chronological play DLC 1st and then play xenoblade2. But If i was you i would play the xenoblade 2 first cuz you get alot of story related backlashes and are all explained as u play thru the dlc. Imo this way is better because while you play xenoblade 2 you keep wondering what really happened in the past and the dlc dices into that world which works great
The re-upload was due to the incorrect naming of Torna and Gormott.
3:36
Ah i see
Lmfao
Lol that's amazing
I thought so!!!
atleast they care 👍
I love this world because Monolith is in it
Well then
🤝
Mythra - Aegis
Malos - Edgyis
No wonder Mythra turned into Pyra because she got roasted all the time in this dlc

Support MonolithSoft!
I already have four times, and I probably will continue to do so.
Did it for Xeno 2, TTGC, did it for BOTW, and did it for Sploon 2
I would like to see a Golden Sun made by them
PK That would be awesome!
My score: 6/10 too much water
I repeat, the best part of this DLC was cowboy Malos T-posing off a building
When is that?

They fixed the names for Torna and Gormott. GJ!
Xeno 2 + Torna best game on switch so far for me =D Love it!!!
Torna ~ The Roasting Country
Where everyone roasts Mythra
Yo Nintendo I heard you like my thumbnail format
The best DLC for my money, ever. Love it to bits.

But just a bunch of good people and another AI are the only hope humanity has left.

Love this game. Over 300 hours played
Makes you forget about that other rpg franchise....
What? Octopath travellers or pokemon or something eles

@@jamesc7894 nowhere near a Final Fantasy. Stfu

But like..the ending of the base game was the best fan service ever!
Looks like someone got fired.
why
Turtlelover300 - in the first upload, the narrator messed up Gormott with Torna
Young Plumber - Yeah. That’s what I meant. Sorry I didn’t make it clear.
Torna the golden country was absolutely incredible!! I want moooore
My favorite Nintendo switch game❤️
Take notes Breath of the Wild, this is how you do dlc correctly
Malos means bads in spanish
the dialogue in the beginning of this video would make a perfect meme
That Architect they fixed the naming issue regarding Torna/Gormott
Oh, they fixed the naming error. Neat.
Best DLC ever made!
The thumbnail lowkey reminds me of Robbie Rotten R.I.P. Stefán Karl Stefánsson 🙏🙏
Malos the fake Monado Boy
Jamoze how fake
Not really fake. If Alvis really is the third core processing unit, then that means that Alvis is an Aegis, therefore, Shulk is wielding an aegis sword. So either Malos, Mythra and Alvis' swords are Monados, or they're aegis swords. So technically you could say Rex is also already wielding a monado.
Just a funny joke :_/
Malos isn’t the monado boy
He’s the monado man
I was NOT expecting that voice for Addam! Not complaining though 😺
Well, I have to say, the voiceovers in Nintendo trailers have been getting a lot better!
Such a great dlc Story, dark and good
Good job it only took you guys a day to notice and fix an obvious mistake
Amazing RPG with Magnificent Interesting Battle System 😀😁😂
Finally getting a copy!
Even though* XC2 released Dec *1st, I wish this game as a whole could be a nominee for GOTY... it's definitely my 2018 GOTY
If Torna could be nominated, I would love to see DLC win.
what do you mean, xc2 could be.
The only problem I had with Torna was the whole community system. I hated you had to do a lot of side quests just to finish the story.
The ending was so sad
Thanks
*THAT VOICEOVER IM DEADD*
great moves
I Finally finished Xenoblade Chronicles 2 today which I got December last year. Sadly around the time when I got to tantal my switch bricked so I sadly had to replay a huge chunk of it. Anyway despite thisI loved the game so much so I’ll defiantly be getting torna: the golden country for Christmas.
Eat your heart out BOTW DLC.
I still don't like how physical attacks can hit you from anywhere as if moving is meaningless
Oozette my only gripe with the game after many, many hours. It feels so cheesy and as you said, really takes away from the significance of moving.
Seeing that no one made the obligatory OST request, allow me to do so.
Name of the ost that starts 0:57?
It's the torna dlc battle theme
@@JP-zb3yb whoa, that was quick. Thank you!
@@cloudmangalm03 no prob. I just clicked on the trailer cuz i was bored and went to newest comments and saw yours.
In celebration for the xenoblade X port coming im.gonna buy the whole franchise with the expansion passes
*_-I was remember from Xenosaga at to see this video.-_*
Are you gonna make a new direct anytime soon
If the switch gets Star Ocean: Till the End of Time ported to switch it will be the greatest console of all time.
as i said in the previous video...
*jin's subtitle is "her companion"?!*
Well, it's not wrong.
ok but... _Paragon of Torna_
XenoGlitch Or what about "Her _beloved_ companion"? I said this to you in the last version of this video, didn't I?
Haze's is even funnier. "A blade with a unique ability"
They miss that and also calling Aegeon and Brighid The Crown Jewels of Mor Ardain .
They make titles for theme but not use them .
Great Monolift
Rex OR Mythra for SMASH
Pyra
Addam
Just... Zyk
Wow
Talk about sending duck season and porkchops horror show to 3ds for the next Nintendo direct
This is nice.
*_ADD BILL RIZER FROM CONTRA INTO SUPER SMASH BROS ULTIMATE_*

I'm still getting this; I've just got so man other things to get as well! ^^;
I’m still just waiting for the update that lets us use Malos as a blade... please
Not happening. At least you can play as Jin.
Never happening.

Is this connected to Xenosaga? The one guy had the symbol of the zohan on his chest
No it’s not
That’s called a core crystal
I LOVED this expansion, well worth being a separate game!

You know the fact that Neuma and Malos are basically Brother/Sister just set in.

I think playing Torna after finishing Chapter 7 would be perfect
Personally I'd play Torna before playing the main game, or at least play it before getting back to the main game if you have started the main game.
In my opinion Torna is far superior to the main game. Better story, better characters, better gameplay and a far better ending.
+Tye the Monado Boy I really disagree with that, I think Torna spoils many twists of the main game, and it's a far simpler story. Not sure Mythra's depiction really worked.
