- My Blind reaction to the Xenoblade 2 Finale! I don't want it to end :( Thank you for joining me on this amazing journey!
#xenoblade #xenobladechronicles2 #reaction
Thank you everyone! What a great experience this game was!
I really loved your Playthrough. I shared it on Twitter a few times, but nobody follows me, so ...
Your excitement was contagious and your joy felt heartwarming.
Thank you Saturn!
Oh yeah, it you want to play the Torna DLC... do it. We may know the outcome, but it explains so much, and it's very emotional. It broke me completely, I was unable to play a game for 3 days after it.
Yes, you do need to build your community and be locked from speed-running the game, but the quests give you a lot of background about the citizens, similar to Majora's Mask, if you know what I mean. And it's fulfilling to know that you helped them all before fighting Malos.
And also, Jin is an incredible main character and the battle system is far better than the one in the main story. And the battle theme is top notch.
It took me 18 hours to beat the DLC.
To add context on the whole Klaus situation, everything that happened in Xenoblade 1 and 2 was because of what he did.
When he opened the conduit many things disappeared including half of his body and "Ontos" the third Aegis/Trinity processor core who you may know as Alvis from Xenoblade 1 was also sucked in there, this explains why Malos could use a Monado when you fought him previously.
The part of Klaus that ended up in the Xenoblade 1 world became Zanza, Galea the female researcher that was with Klaus seen in the cutscene here was also sucked in and she became Meyneth the goddess of the Mechons, Shulk is also currently fighting Zanza at the same time you are fighting Malos here you could even hear his voice at 1:49:11 so both final boss fights are happening simultaneously!
This is super helpful thank you!
Thank you so much for sharing your experience with this amazing series, I'm glad you liked it and hope you'll eventually try the third game at some point
Keep being yourself and I'm excited for whatever comes next on the channel!~
25 years ago, when you uploaded this on October 1st, was when Monolith Soft was founded, so what a fitting day for you to upload the finale to probably my favorite game, so happy you played, and enjoyed it. Can't wait for the DLC
I got lucky with that date as I had no clue haha
I would absolutely recommend you play the DLC Torna - the golden country - it will explain a lot of things that the main game left out :).
DLC Torna - The Golden Country can enrich your gaming experience.
DLC is 20 hours usually
Malos's VA did a fantastic job in the final fight. I also told him that on Twitter back then.
The moment I found out that Xenoblade 1 and 2 play at the same time almost made me scream.
Thanks for uploading this let's play. It's been fun seeing your reactions to this game.
Thank you for the support!
The DLC Torna - The Golden Country possibly has the most perfect ending theme in the world, and serves as the strongest complement to the main story of Xenoblade 2. After completing it, revisiting the main game reveals many new details.
You should absolutely play the dlc at some point
It comes with a smaller separate game similar to future connected and it's very much on par with the main game in terms of, well, everything except it doesn't have the annoying steep learning curve the main game had. it does change some things up a bit but it's not as difficult to understand since you already played the main game
(Also you should listen to the battle theme before you play it)
It also adds some new content to the main game such as new quests, new blades and nopon archsages challenges, you might remember that from DE
And by the way if you didn't know, today is monolithsoft's 25th anniversary!
Happy birthday Monolithsoft!!!🎉🎉🎉
Absolutely agree.
I did not like the DLC very much. The story is nice, but also not very exciting, since we know the outcome.
But the worst thing is the thing with the sidequests. Hitting a roadblock every few hours where you have to grind boring sidequests endlessly is not fun.
This was a 8-10h story bloated into a 30h mess.
XC3s DLC is much much better.
@@mrmiesfies3941 We totally don't know the outcome. We don't know how it really happened and we don't know to what point we are gonna jump.
The original game misleads the player about a lot of stuff.
Also the grinding is minimal when compared to, well, any other Xenoblade game. It's an improvement over 2 in every possible way.
It's so hilarious that you looked completely oblivious during final chapter intro cuscene, but figured it out eventually after hearing Shulk's "today we use our power to fell a god...".
Also, DLC adds a lot to the story and puts a very fun twist on the gameplay loop, so definitely give it a try. Fun fact: definitive edition of first game was released after the xc2, and a lot of people were disappointed in Future Connected because they got spoiled with xc2 expansion treatment.
We're finally here
I just noticed rex in your avatar!
This game makes me cry everytime, I'm so invested in the characters and story as a whole. Blades are so interesting, and the group was so cohesive. Definitely my favorite game and story, I remember being such a mess with the post credits scene. Loved the playthrough, and the Xenoblade DLCs are a must, they offer more context, views and complement to the already great story.
What an amazing experience. Thank you for sharing your journey with us, Saturn!
Thank you!
Thx solitary Saturn for sharing the XB2 experience! You just brought me back to that night back in 2018 when I finished the game …what a nostalgic moment…and we all did the same, staying at the title screen for the theme music😂
thx once more 👍
After you finished the main story again,the titlesreen will change again😊,congratulations!
1:49:12 is still the most chilling, goosebump inducing moment in all of Xenoblade. Nice reaction! Hope we'll see you continue with Torna and then Xenoblade 3!
The Xenoblade journey will live on. :)
To give you the basic understanding, Klaus is the reason the worlds of XC1 (Bionis and Mechonis) and XC2 (Alrest) exist. After he used the conduit's power many things disappeared into different dimensions, including half of Klaus's body and Ontos, who is Alvis.
Klaus's other half became Zanza and the assistant trying to stop Klaus from using the Conduit named Galea became Meyeneth.
The moment when you hear "Today. We use our power to fell a god! And then sieze our destiny!" Is the moment that Shulk kills Zanza, which means killing Klaus, which is why he is saying hurry to the XC2 party.
La fin est formidable ! 💫
The way I see it, Elysium was a shelter for the people, if during that old war, Aion had to destroy the world. Then, people would still be able to survive in Elysium. Maybe the world was poluted and already at the edge of the void. So people needed that artifcial city in orbit to live in.
...But that was long ago. Klaus killed all humanity in the process of "creating a new universe". And so, Elysium got empty and forgotten over the millenia.
I am actually very impressed by the science fiction implied in the reconstruction of humanity. Evolution was guided by AI. The nanobots in the cloud see warrantee it. The core crystals were at the base of organic cells in every living being too. So in this world, people are part machine too. They are... partly artificial.
And the master piece of this chain are the master blades, Logos and Neuma. They are processing units that receive all information from every living being in the world and guide their evolution so they create a sustainable environment even when there are not real continents to begin with. They are the super computers that guide nature. In this world, Pyra, Mythra and Mahlos are Gaia, without knowing it, because they don't process that information in a conscius level.
Those concepts are FREAKING AMAZING.
Absolutely agree. people do not appreciate the sheer brilliance and INTELLIGENCE of the systems at play in this story.
@@linkalot7415 To be honest the first time I played I didn't fully understand it. I think the narrative evolves too slow at first and too fast at the end. They give you clues but you can only get them the second or third time you play.
I think it’s more likely that only the rich and prestigious were allowed in Elysium, I reccomendations listening to yovideogame’s lore recap vids
@@gormottigrebel9978 Oh, I completely agree, of course. When we talk about saving some people, we all know we are talking about those "fortunate enough" aka rich people.
Xenoblade Chonicles 2 is easily my favorite game of all time and I'm glad you enjoyed it. The DLC adds a lot to the story and I'd be happy to watch you play it. Also if you start Xenoblade Chonicles 3 trust me you will want the DLC before hand, I won't say why because spoilers but trust me it's worth it.
I loved the game!
Klaus is Zanza my man, and Galea is Meyneth, tough sadly at the time Klaus wished to see her again she was already gone in the world of the Bionis.
Play torna dlc, must play.. after finished then straight play xenoblade 3 and future redeemed dlc
Oh man this series so good, the music tho one of the best
I was “forced” to play this game, but I ended up loving it! As you said, have some interesting topics, food for thought sometimes, and once you get into the mechanics of the gameplay you surely enjoy it more!
Thanks for sharing your gameplay! Hope you get time to play Torna, it’s such a great complement
So cute ending ☺️
If you want to dive even deeper, all Xeno games are heavily influenced by Gnosticism, an early Greek interpretation of Christianity. Logos (word), Pneuma (spirit), and Ousia (existence) are essentially Xeno interpretation of a Gnostic version of the Christian trinity but not fully. Like in Christianity Christ is Logos but in Gnosticism they are separate. What's written on Pneuma's chest is "Pneuma" in Greek. Ousia was localized in the English version as Ontos but it says Ousia in Greek on the Trinity Processor. Ousia and Ontos are almost synonyms, though. God in Gnosticism is the Monad, and Monado is how Monad is pronounce in Japanese. Another aspect of Gnosticism is the demiurge, or creator god. This is a god that created the world and controls it but is adversarial to spiritualism and humanity. Gnostic myths deal with the savior (Christ) saving the world from the demiurge. In Xenoblade the demiurge is Klaus, but in 2 since he's repentant Amalthus stands in as representing the old Klaus.
Xenoblade 2 is essentially a version of a Gnostic interpretation of Christ's story. Emanations or aspects of the Monad took shape in the universe in male/female pairs called aeons (lesser gods or angels). One such aeon was Sophia (wisdom) who failed to connect with her male counterpart due to fear of existing and became lost. This accidentally created the demiurge, who created the universe to be solely material but Sophia managed to inject a spark of spirituality (pneuma) into it. Christ was sent by the Monad to restore Sophia's knowledge of pneuma so she could help him save humanity from the material universe of the demiurge.
Logos' role in Gnosticism is to be the word of god, or enact the Monad's will, but the will of the Monad is unknowable even to Logos which causes problems.
In Japanese Elysium is called Rakuen (Eden/Paradise) but it was localized as Elysium (the Greek mythology afterlife) and you got the tree in Elysium and the World Tree representing the tree of the fruit of knowledge and the Aegises (which are called Holy Grails in Japanese because their role is basically like cups that accumulate data) representing the fruit itself. Opheon represents the serpent that convinced Eve to eat the fruit, who in Gnosticism is actually considered a heroic agent of Sophia because he gets humanity to eat the fruit which gives them the knowledge of spirituality and angers the demiurge who wants to control humanity.
A lot of it also comes from Takahashi being a big fan of Jungian psychology which was also heavily influenced by Gnosticism.
I would love for you to play the DLC, and three eventually if you like this one
My Xenoblade journey is not over. Be sure to stay tuned :)
@@SolitarySaturn Thank you for the reply!! I'm looking forward to watching it!! This was the first video recommended to me from your channel, but I'm going to go back and start from the beginning!
Awesome! I have a full Xenoblade DE playthrough as well on the channel.
Now that you finished the game, the thing that is written on her chest is her name pneuma
The only sidequest that I really feel you should have done is the one to obtain Tora's third blade. Other than that, it's a good enough playthrough when it comes to content. Sure, you scratched the surface like you said, but it's the surface that you liked.
You are ready to jump to torna DLC whenever you want. It adds to the story and it's better than Xenoblade 2. Maybe better than 1. Like, seriously. The Torna DLC is the best reason to play Xenoblade 2.
Klaus is Shulk's alter ego, the final boss of Xenoblade 1 and that scene is a more complete version of another that you watched at the end of Xenoblade 1. I'll be honest, I was a little disappointed that you didn't remember. I mean, it wasn't so long ago XD. Too much Final Fantasy XIV! That's the problem XD
It took a while to click, but you should be able to see the exact moment it does for me.
@@SolitarySaturn Man, that's exciting. I don't know why I enjoy this so much but I do. It's like I am there again, playing for the first time. But without the pain in the ass that is leveling up and all XD
And by the way, your playthrough is exceptional. Your attitude is freaking perfect at every point. You allow the stuff to sink in and you make the right questions.
@@SolitarySaturn That one sentence triggered something. But they still got the same voice actor for Klaus/Zanza/Shulk, as well as using old sound clips.
Shulk isnt Klaus' alter ego, Zanza is. Meyneth in turn is Galeas'
The final boss of Xenoblade 1 is Zanza, not Klaus. Zanza is the greedy part that split from Klaus.
If you do extra episodes you should watch the other title screens, there are new ones if you beat the game a second time
Klaus created both worlds (Xenoblade, xenoblade 2) using the Conduit. Klaus was split into two beings, Zanza in Xenoblade and The Architect in XC2. Great story, I also recommend skipping Torna for now and playing XC3 and it's DLC first.
Oh boy things will get fun. I'm not ready to go through it again.
Play torna, it's a small DLC. I finished in around 80h. And I do play very slow to enjoy every bit and to do everything.
Wait the DLC is 80 hours?!?!
@@SolitarySaturn Most people will finish it much quicker. But it is amazing. A great game in its own right.
@@SolitarySaturn I believe you can finish it in 40h ~ 60h. I put 80h in it but I also put 300h into the main game.
I'm a completionist. If I love the game I need to do everything.
@@SolitarySaturn I'm kinda crazy, in Xenoblade 3 there are three unique accessories you can only get one of each in a playthrough, they are some of the best accessories in the game, I still debate with myself to do a ng+ and go through everything again just to get more copies of them.
On Xenoblade 1 I'm on my 4th playthrough, I'm trying to maximize my affinity points. You only get them discovering locations and killing uniques. By my calculations I need to do 5 more ng+ to maximize it. XD
@@SolitarySaturn I'm still doing ng+ from time to time on my Chrono trigger DS, trying to maximize my characters status with the capsules. I'm not a normal person.
I also recommend you to play Xenoblade 3, it's fun on its own, but it has the weaker narrative/story of the trilogy imho, but the DLC future redeemed is a must play.
I think 2 has the weakest story and XC1 and 3 are tied. XC3 has the most mature story, 1 the most epic.
@@mrmiesfies3941 xbc3 has the weakest characters and the most imbecile plot development with the most uninteresting antagonists. And I don't care about what you think. Xbc2 still the best game in the series and one of the best RPGs of all time. Complainers are just too stupid to figure things out without tutorials holding their hand.
@@mrmiesfies3941 just because it is a story about war, doesn't make it mature. Its writing is stupidly poor executed. Full of rushed elements and narrative elements poorly developed.
Xbc2 have the light hearted story bits, but its xbc3 that feels like a 80's cartoon.
@@mrmiesfies3941 the only redeem fact about xbc3 is its DLC. Glimmer alone is more well written, feels more like a real human being and is more charismatic than the entire cast of xbc3 unidimensional characters.
@@itsasecrettoeverybody Someone went on a tantrum. LOL
Pneumas and Logos brother Ontos is also known as Alvis. Just look at his necklace in the Definitive Edition.
In the Wii Original he wears a key and after XC2 there was a fan theory that Alvis is Ontos, XC DE confirmed that.
Can't wait to see you play XC3 (at this point it is inevitable).
(Should you play the XC2 DLC Torna? It has a nice story, but we know the outcome and the gameplay consists of hours and hours grinding boring sidequests. A 10 hour story, bloated to a 30 hour DLC. So I say no, don't play Torna. Play XC3 instead!)
XC3 is the best game in the trilogy. And it has one of the best DLCs ever.
The heck? Torna is an amazing game, and even if we know the ending, it explains a lot about Jin and Mikhail. And I don't know what you did, but I completed it after 18 hours including all sidequests. The Superbosses took another hour to beat, especially the final one.
I would say that Torna is even more emotional than the main game.
