Originality resides in execution, my boomer friend ;)

@@Ontos99 im just tired of all of these games having the same story/message man. FF16 lifted like half of its plot structure, and all of its ending and themes from Xenoblade 1. it makes these games super samey, at least the ones that have come out recently

Ultimately, Shania desired the 'will to power'-the ability to have options, to choose the brush over the gun. While she was allured by the reincarnation offered to the soldiers of Aionios, it is ultimately a mediocre existence still. The true independence would be to break free of the confines of this world, not to have another chance at success. But that 'will to live' she argues for is so relatable that it is hard to directly counter it. We all want to have another go at life after all. Especially when your life didn't quite pan out the way you wanted. So I definitely get Shania and she is the one of the most underrated characters in the game.

Everything is taken from Monolith soft and Takahashi san interviews. No headcanon A sequel can either be safe or innovative. Regardless of the fact that it uses iterative gameplay. I'll explain it properly with another video soon.

@@Ontos99 just say you dont find the game interesting. That is easier to explain, then to find some pseudo reasons that dont always seem to fit. How was Totk not innovative in the gameplay department. A game can be derivative while still having new gameplay idea. As is said you want a totally new standalone game and not a sequel. I could say Monolith Soft is too safe to still using autoattack system that builds into combos and want them to change. But that is exactly what I like about the combo system and dont want them to change it too much instead build upon it. And if they change it they should explore it in a side game or new ip. Not every single Mario or Zelda game can be a 2017 Odyssey and Botw that reinvent then wheel. That is 1. delusional, 2. takes too much time, 3. too much resources and money. You can hope for new fresh ideas but expecting them is the wrong idea.

@obba40 dont jump the gun immediately. I'll explain my reasons soon. Nothing to do with "finding the game interesting"or not. There is an art to "making a sequel" and it is a fine balance you need to find.

@@Ontos99 that is an opinion not a fact

XC3 is a different beast compared to 1 and 2. Tell me what some of the things are that made you feel disappointed about it?

@Ontos99 the cast. The worldbuilding. The last third of the game. The saturday morning cartoons villians. The progresión (very linear). For moments it try to hard to be so mature and big than feel childish at moment.

@@gonzalocachi4329 how did you feel about the analysis

If you are soured on Xenoblade 3 because of the 'discourse', this will be a palate cleanser if you will. Maybe even show a side of 3 that you'll appreciate more. It certainly did that for me as the creator. This was a challenging script to write in general. Let me know your thoughts after watching it. Much love,

My native language doesnt have them and I'll fix them going forward. Sorry about that. Thank you for the comment.

@@Ontos99 Thanks for the answer. I just happened to notice it recurring because I've just watched a bunch of your Xenoblade videos in a row. Great work, I'm shocked that you don't get more views

Thats is a good way to put it. Miyabi really is someone that helped Mio to 'find value in all things' similar to how Crys did for Noah

@ thanks my hero!

A Xenoblade fan I see. Let me know your thoughts on my 'Philosophy of XC3' and Amalthus analysis up on the channel ;))

Yes. I think you'll enjoy both my Amalthus and Crys analysis

A gift that keeps on giving - Rex

It's literally the perfect way to describe xenoblade.

Thats actually what I argued for already. Watch my Amalthus analysis please. Thanks. Glad you liked it

Thanks I enjoyed your Xenogears essay

Thank you. It is a hard video to watch but that's what Xenoblade 3 deserves. At least in my estimations. Takahashi san wanted us to feel these emotions and move forward hand in hand with the people who are close to us. Nietzsche's worldview is the key to understanding Xenoblade 3. I hope I was able to do it justice.

@@DoctorPecker I was the closest buddy. Make no mistake about that. Watch my Miquella lore video on the channel

Wasnt retconned. Watch my Miquella analysis up on the channel.

@@Idk_bro12340 yeah that final section of the video was emotionally hard for me to write and narrate.

@@Ontos99 😔

@@Idk_bro12340 100%

@@lightningmonky7674 For me, it was Joel on the verge of tears responding with “….I’d like that.” I was alone in my living room, in the middle of the night. And when he uttered that response, I didn’t sob. My eyes just silently flowed tears down my face with zero resistance from me. And those tears continued to flow as I sat there frozen in place, up until the moment the credits finished rolling. I was in emotional shock for the next several days. When my wife finally played both games a couple of years later, and she eventually reached this very same part, she cried SO HARD, that she had to shut herself in the bathroom for 10-15 minutes. When she came out of the bathroom, it still took her another twenty minutes of crying so hard that she literally couldn’t speak through the tears. And even after that, when she was finally able to speak in a very broken manner, it took her another thirty minutes before she could quit crying completely. When my best friend finished the game, he immediately called me up and was trying to form the words to express himself, but all he could get out through the tears was “that… that ending man… I mean… I just…. I mean….” This game is truly something special. To people like Ontos, and my best friend, and my wife, this was more than just a story. It was a perfectly crafted narrative experience. Not everyone has to feel the same way, but people like us will defend this game from any biased/unfair criticism to our dying day.

@@kimlee6643 Yes. Both Wilds and LoP dlc will be the highlights of 2025 but I personally feel the most excited still for Nightreign which might sound like some Fromsoftware ass licking but I've literally been hoping these past 3 months for a way to more easily replay the game. Something that I can engage myself with without having level 1 save files of bosses in a folder. The sort of endurance you'd need to push through 3 nights solo is a very interesting challenge even if on somewhat high vigor. If for some reason it feels easy (which I highly doubt it would solo) I can always do as you say mod the game for 3 player scaling and choose consciously to not level vigor. I think for PC players, all challenge runners will be strained and will be forced to get good. Very excited not just for these new bosses but how ds3 2 and 1 will also get adjusted. They can all feel like a new experience now. Im trying to finish Mass effect 3 before Wilds comes out. Excited to see what Capcom cooked.

Thank you so much. I loved your essay on tLou part 2. I can only hope this could live up to that. I've spent more time on this video than I've on any other and I'm very satisfied with it. Looking forward to making more and also excited to see more from you as well

@@NonfictionGamer dude, I freaking LOVED your video on TLOU2. So profoundly emotional as well as unique. I shared with quite a few people, including a couple of friends struggling with their own issues. Awesome to see you commenting on Ontos’s video here!

@@Memnoch_the_Devil This is the coolest comment I’ve ever received…thanks so much. You sound like an awesome friend to have.

I plan to release gameplay videos for sure. Very excited

@@0451Free_Val I have to be honest here. I made this 2 hour video (the hardest video I've ever made probably) because I was frustrated with the existing "critiques" of tLou part 2. Constantly skipping over scenes and dialogues to pigeonhole the experience into simple shapes. Glossing over characters like Owen, Dina and yes even Mel let alone Abby and Lev. I'm very happy to hear the analysis dug out something deep within Neil Druckmann's magnum opus and made you emotionally moved. As the narrator, editor and script writer all, even I got emotional watching it again recently. I attribute it to Neil and his team at Naughty Dog who put so much time and effort into making this. Taking all the risks to teach us how beautiful video games as an art form can be both on a gameplay level and also narrative. Much love. And have a great day

Glad you enjoyed it.
