Thank you for explaining this I always found the villains in this game. A little confusing to understand but it makes sense now

This was quite thought provoking and insightful and honestly made me appreciate AoT more. I think if you changed the aesthetic style of your videos, in a visual sense, they would be even better.

12:00 Do you think alvis saw/made Zanza and Mayneth as equals for them to take on the roles of logos and pneuma?

Just watched this and the XB2 existentialism video. Fantastic stuff, better than the vast majority of online XB videos. A shame it's gotten such little attention.

This is Zeke's Hello my name is Zeke-voice.

Noah Prime💀

I don't think the xenoblade devs wouldn't use a placeholder monado in thr trailer considering how important it is. Its probably a reason we're not aware of yet.

Didn't everyone basically just get reborn in Aionios? By that logic, Noah has been around forever in some form, as he existed as a child before Aionios. I'm curious if he was significant at all in the world of Bionis. Shulks son possibly?

The story being a prequel makes perfect sense with the information we know about the founders. I'm just hyped to see my boys Rex and Shulk return.

So I’m pretty sure that the Vandham founder is Noah and Mio’s son or a descendant of him. Doyle, a Gormotti, was stated to have a familial connection to Vandham, and is stated to likely be a sister. In the trailer his Iris appears in his left eye, which is the Agnian side. I also believe some of the images of him show him with two gauntlets, which imply he’s a fist fighter as said in the Vandham description. I’m also pretty sure that Rex and Shulk confronting Alvis will be the intro cutscene, since the Reid mentor is depicted with long hair, and their injuries aren’t present yet. In the shot of the Bionis Leg area, you can see the Mor Adrian titan’s hand, and a small Agnian camp, which suggests this is Aionios. Alvis using the Monado I is either just because it’s the most iconic form, or it could be that the true Monado isn’t so much Alvis’s specifically, but the Monado that he granted Shulk, like with Zanza and Meyneth’s respective Monados. This doesn’t exactly explain why he has the weakened version of Zanza’s, but with Alvis’s new wings that look a lot like Zanza’s, maybe Zanza/Klaus has some influence here. If there’s anytime the fandom should examine the founder statues for any small details, it’s now, it’ll really help with speculation.

really interesting in relationship to xc3 (as a continuation and a reflection of these ideas) e.g. essense/purpose for the xc3 soldiers, who are born with a purpose (of fighting, taking each other's lives) and finding their 'essence', their "true selves" as quoted by Nia, and what happens when that essence is vehemently denied (moebius j, moebius s). interesting about the absurdism too, as the whole villain shtick being 'your lives are meaningless fuel, none of this is intentional and 'you're nothing but a grunt'', and that one of the ways to rebel against that in small ways is to assign meaning to things (offseeing tune being the most obvious one) as a way to find your place in the world. and that's why finding out in eunie's side story what's really going on behind one of the things that has "meaning" to the colonies is shown as an extreme violation. i'm a little incoherent cuz I'm rambling off ideas, but really interesting dive into the philosophical (which isn't my strong point). a little annoyed at the comments saying "learn to criticize things it's not perfect", the point of an analysis is just to analyze what's there and make meaning. if he wanted to criticize things it would be a critique. pay attention in english class and learn something about how analysis works lmfao. xc2 is my least favourite of the trilogy and i think there are a fair bit of weaknesses in the story, but this analysis clearly isn't about looking for those things, and neither is it saying that the game's perfect either. analysis just is. you can absolutely hate a piece of a work and still analyze it without talking about how much you think it's flawed or how much you hate it unless that's the main point of your piece.

Xenoblade was a uge help when I used it for explain monadology in my Philo work. When my professor correct my copie I get 16/20. Sadly it didn't work for the exam.

I need to replay xenoblade 1

This is SUCH a Xenoblade video in the most positive way. Great Xenoblade essay like always, very excited to see what your next video will be.

This is what about Xeno keeps me interested. Thanks for the dive I didn't have to take, but wanted to hear. I've thought about the Japanese. Monado does sound infinitely better. I don't think the Monado would be as renowned as it is without its' current name.

I've been looking for this video forever. This is one of the best analysis videos on the Xenoblade Chronicles 2 characters.

Fuckin excellent video dude, very well done

so this was just thrown into my recommended and damn dude, this is an insane level of quality to only have ~200 views. awesome video.

12:03 I relate with Morag on this one. Though I think regardless if purpose was given clear or not in the beginning, I think striving for finding and being content with it or just even in the effort to reach it in the end are what really matters. Or at least what I think is the message the game is trying to convey. Anyways amazing well thought out essay which captures the theme of this lovely game.

The first part is Zeke revealing that Rex also impregnated Pandoria after Pyra, Mythra, and Nia

If you told me this was the same va I wouldn’t believe you at tirst

Bro makes the most detailed and perfect analysis and I go to sub and he has like 400 subs can we get this man some more

It's funny seeing people trying to give depth to characters who are part of the cliche JP trope-fest that revolves around sad backstories and cringe motivational tools such as the power of friendship. The game is filled with generic, childish and non-sensical elements yet when a character at some point decides to randomly throw a quote about the meaning of life, all the pseudo-intellectual weebs are pointing at it in an attempt to validate how deep their anime game is.

Honestly videos kinda scufed because it makes the argument the db is bad.(Not saying that you are saying it's bad but the essay uses db being a bad thing to prop up Sonic) The view that power creep in db is cringe is an outsiders look that disregards the many things the show stands for. (Basically the power ups aren't at all the main focus but rather an important afterthought to keep the audience entertained and the story moving)

Zeke sounds genuinely upset when calm

I don’t think he’s being controlled by Amalthus’s influence. He sticks to his previous goals because that’s all he has. If he abandoned that he’d have nothing.

This was one of th most interesting videos I've ever seen. Really outdid yourself on this one.

I know it isn’t his role in the game, but I personally really wish Malos had more moments showing him just _talking_ to the other Torna members, or even to Pyra/Mythra. I wanted to see what he was like freshly awakened, and if his corruption by Amalthus was completely instantaneous or whether Amalthus had discussions with him that kind of imprinted that worldview on Malos through their link.

Music used in this video?

I'm actually a philosophy student and Xenoblade series introduced me to philosophy. I must say I'm impressed by your analysis, and I'll gladly use it to prove video games can be very meaningful. Also about Amalthus climbing the world tree, he discovered not only the Architect is not here, but also the paradise where he lives is a desert. Seeing the absurdity of the world not only in god's absence but also in the chaos of his house have led his insanity to go further, just like his thought of being the new architect. Also, Malhos name, Logos, is very interesting, because of his paradoxal existence. Logos means speech in greek, refering to his ideal aspect. Malhos is stuck between his original purpose, and morals he discovered with his allies of Torna which can be a sign that he too, clearly see world's beauty in a sense. That us why he says he doesn't know where he is, because it's somehow a true contradiction : a world needing to be destroyed but also a beautiful world worth the existence. He decides despite that to destroy, because to me it will allow him to not think about it by simply erasing it from existence and enjoy himself by doing the only thing he knew he was good at. Logos is a tragic character, theatral in his behavior and even in his look, he only pretends to be but never assumed his essence, and never lived by his name.

This is one of the best Malos character analysis I've seen online. Great video.

If you got one……. See you in hell :/ jk

something ive always found really beautiful is that after everything that Amalthus has been through (basically just a crazy series of extremely unfortunate events leading him to believe he should destroy the world), the Architect does seem to finally feel pity towards him & sends the spirit of his mother down in his last moments

...... The last part could have very easily been a plot point in the game.The game had impllied sex slavery in it and extortion.

there is an idea of a Xenoblade Chronicles 3 special edition, some kind of abstraction, but there is no real product, only an entity, something illusory, and though Nintendo can say you'll get your artbook and you can feel excitement as your order goes into the cart and maybe you can even sense that the preorder has gone through: it simply is not there

I like in JJBA for shonen avoiding power creep because weaker things can still counter more powerful things. If the protagonist is very experienced so far in the story, don’t worry a weak stand with a subtle tricky ability can pose a good amount of danger.

its kinda funny how the XCDE and XC3 SE are sooooo hard to get, after XCX and XC2(at least the european version of XCX) where so easy to aquire to the point that the LE of XCX was still available fo rpurchase new on amazon till the announcement of the eshop closure basically here but then again XCX was on the wii u

Too bad these themes are used in a very surface level way. They're not really challenged by the world state or other characters, they aren't expanded upon in a mature way. Rex's especially seems like it was just a happy coincidence. It's painfully surface level. Sure, the themes are there, but they're not treated with any of the depth or respect you'd find in artistic works that dive into these things.

Not letting the song peak at 9:23 was one of the biggest "cocktease" moments I've experienced in a while, great video otherwise ofc.

Malos is quite strong though. He was born to hate humanity and even then he still managed to turn that into a love of blades

I'm out of the country so I didn't even have a chance to do it this time 🙃

Yup 🤦‍♂️

I got it in the end. I’ll never get back the sanity I lost tho.

Warios: *the looks on your faces*

Funny thing is the US is getting it for pre order now, UK and the rest of Europe has to wait for mid-late july (probably about 2 weeks before the game drops) so there will be more chaos in the coming weeks

I got mine on the first wave cuz Australia is epic

I MISSED IT AGAIN. There's just no way. And now scalpers are gonna throw it up for 200 plus. Fuck.

Refreshed the page all morning and didn't have time to fight with it.

Managed to get one but it’s been three hours and I still haven’t gotten my email. Is that bad?

I got one on the first wave a few weeks ago thankfully, but what a joke. I heard something that made sense, that since they split the game from the extras, they couldn’t sell it 3rd party.
