i would love so see them reuse the poppibuster as a skell design. it was originaly intended as a skell design during the development of x but was eventually cut. would be pretty cool to
@@BrentOfMan Yeah... not only it isn't out, but we also have no news since june 2022, when they said the game would be coming within a year (so before june 2023). Technically we had like 1 tweet from someone related to the game who basically said "were still working on it"
My speculation is that X2 is the next mainline game in the series and Monolith is re-releasing X now to get the fans ready. X DE will most likely have a new epilogue similar to Future Redeemed & connected, that’ll be a few extra hours of story content and gameplay that’ll be set ups for what’s to come later in the sequel X2. And before anyone says “they didn’t announce an epilogue” give it some time. When XCDE was originally announced they didn’t announce Future Connected alongside it initially. I assume we’ll get a Xeno focused direct towards release that’ll reveal the epilogue or whatever new story content they have planned.
I want an X2 solely for another full Sawano soundtrack. I love the soundtracks of 2 and 3 but X is something special and hasn’t been replicated in any other titles.
I’m not sure how general audience would take if the next mainline entry is X2 given how different X is to the numbered games, it’s not story or character focused and is instead more side content focused, it would dissapoint many people if the next mainline entry is like that.
@@sollato0293 This might be what this rerelease is for. There's a lot of new fans that are switch-only, so introduce them to the way X does things and if the next big project is also an X game, there's a bit more precedence for them.
Do understand that X is the title with the least story. There was a lot of content planned that never made it, and the story in general feels unfinished. The extra story content is probably the stuff that never made it. Sooo many unanswered questions in that game, and sure not everything needs answers, but there are just some things that feel really out of place in it. I'll keep it at that to avoid spoilers.
@@sollato0293 MonolithSoft is no stranger to shocking it's fans, though. X was drastically different than 1 when it was first revealed, and then 2 also was drastically different than both of them when it was also revealed.
So i found xeno at 2, went back to play 1de and then 3 and its my favorite series ever. X now coming to switch is INCREDIBLE. I tried playing on wii emulator but it just wasnt the same. Im so damn jazzed for this release.
That's what Im hoping for too, the OST was rather divisive and there was some discourse around it when the game came out, I'm thinking of a similar thing like XBDE with possibly a remixed OST or possibly some volume slider options, given that they improved the audio mixing from the trailer it does seem they're well aware of it
Smaller file sizes are partially because of flash storage. When storing on a spinning disk (either a bluray disc or a harddrive) you need to duplicate a bunch of data a bunch of times to cut down on loading speeds. So this is an increase from the internal storage versions to these new cartridge versions.
Saw the cat and immediately thought it might be one of the developer's actual cats they meticulously modeled after and put into the game. Most cats in video games i've seen - which is a very limited number mind you - don't ever look that unique.
I'm so glad that I'm not the only one who remembered that the Aegis Cores are used to splitting apart & becoming 2 entirely different people. I can see the Black Knight being Malos' version of A, while the Alpha version (the part without any of the humanity that's mostly a logic-focused way of thinking) could potentially be the Great One that the Ganglion worship. Only because it would take some sort of higher power to strengthen the Ganglion & make them confident enough to break away from the Samaar Federation.
My thought is that it's this universe's version of malos. Basically one that isn't being smothered by his driver's influence, where you could see shades of it in 2 and torna where he's calm, a tease and a bit sarcastic but cared. But I want just once for him to yell to show that yeah, he's INDEED malos, and being this universe's version of him, still capable of having a destructive nature if pushed too far. Also many compared N to being a golden jin, malos being his sword basically makes it not a joke. I think it's pretty sweet of him actually to reunite with him or someone very similar. Malos respects power, but I think why he befriended jin was, aside from his growing guilt, because some part of him was reminded of his trinity sibling alvis. It's why he ended up connecting with jin so much, though i don't think he had conscious memories of alvis, unless it was like pyra who had vague memories at best of what elysium was. I've said for years jin is 2's version of alvis, even getting the red core crystal from becoming a perfect flesh eater. so malos was probably reminded of him even more; the additional powers also made him respect jin more, knowing they came at a price. Realizing that damn, he really had it in him to go through with it.
It's currently in the vicinity of Earth, either within the Earth or on the moon, most likely the moon. 8D Kidding But yeah, would be cool. Bugs me when people say it's impossible for the games to connect. Their main argument is the lack of aliens. But the thing is, if you cross reference with real life information of UAP/NHI, there has been official talk by David Grusch that they are interdimensional. At that, possibly future humans. So considering real life information coming out about our own reality, it isn't a stretch for a fantasy/sci-fi series to cross over in such a way. If it is possible in our own reality, why not in this game that takes from reality, science, religion and so on for their story. I could go deeper than that as well. Apparently ghosts and aliens aren't all that much different from one another.
Your Gradivus footage makes it look like his nickname is The Headass Emperor. Also I don’t expect the black knight to straight up be Malos but I could see him and Lao paralleling Malos and Jin’s relationship I subscribe to the idea that 2 and 3 formed from the original story plans for X that were cut. JBSphereFreak and SparksOpus collaborated on some videos that laid this idea out in a fairly convincing manner
I also think that X is the origin for 3's concept ever since they said they had the concept of 3 before making 2. X and 3 have a lot of similarities, so it would make sense that they realized they had to change a lot of things (and make 2) to make the concept fit in with the events of 1 so they kept X as is and separate, otherwise they would have had to scrap most of it.
I don't know if anyone's ever said it, but I really appreciate how you approach spoilers. I have played all the Xeno games, so I don't mind spoilers, but I think it's really cool how you casually give warnings before spoilers happen. It's really nice.
I agree with X being an alternate universe and that the Samaarians and Ganglion are actually the original humans from Klaus’ universe who were sucked into the X universe because of the experiment. Also, gotta say, massive props to talking about the people who said you’d be upset with X being ported instead of saga and saying how X is still an important game, I respect you so much more than i already did before, Luxin.
That seems like it might have been the original intention since briefly you see the Samaarian ships and they look like Abel's Ark from Saga. That would be imagry suggesting travel between domains.
I think the painting is meant to be a clue about the consuls and their past but we have so little to go off of that the painting could be almost anything.
I'd finished it the night before, and just had the bit where he said there'd probably not be anything echoing in my head for the entire runtime of the trailer
After the initial excitement wore off, I immediately thought of you and what you said merely a day and a half prior. MonolithSoft is watching you, Luxin!
I've been waiting for this!! This feels like the hype for the original Wii U version of Xenoblade X, all over again. No joke. Let me tell you, after spending 2015 obsessively watching and re-watching trailers and guides for X, that was a Christmas to remember. I remember the feeling well. I'm so excited for this Definitive Edition. March cannot come soon enough.
Yes it was huge for us few fans of the WiiU. I’m not liking how Nintendo has treated us though if you look at the switch library there are so many WiiU games just feels like a smack in the face sometimes as someone who supported them through difficult times.
@@sandman8920Nahh, heck to the exclusivist perspective, I'm just happy to finally have people to talk about how amazing XCX is. This game was the GOAT, the GOAT! I still listen to a manually dumped, high-resolution copy of the OST daily. The fact it went under the radar because the Wii U sank was a criminal loss for a game that deserved all the attention in the world.
Honestly, this proves switch 2 will be back compatible with switch games. Monolith will show their new ip game on switch 2, while ALL of Xenoblade can be played on switch 2. Monolith has been KILLING it this gen. Every game on the switch and X cost an arm and leg to be port to switch. Tho monolith deserved it. They carried nintendo this gen.
Wasn't it leaked/confirmed that the new switch will use the same iso's (whatever) as the current switch. Which people have theorised is why they don't want emulators now (since they would also work on games on the new switch)
A lot of people forget that for the portable consoles of Nintendo, it is very typical to have games that run on both and upscale something while using the enhanced hardware, they did it wit the Game boy color, the expansion pack for the N64, they did it with the Wii U, it would not suprise me that X has enhancements on the switch succesor
I want to jump on your point about how they could expand on L's character. I noticed during my last playthrough of the game that he only ever refers to himself as "we." If he does that in other languages too, I would love for them to explore that. I'd argue that he's fluent enough in English to know that referring to himself as "we" is grammatically incorrect. It's really just idioms he struggles with. He could be referring to his entire species, but he's the only member of his species that we see. We don't even so much as see any signs that are other members of his species on Mira. I want to know what's going on there.
He could, technically, be using the royal "we", assuming he's been looking through more antiquated information (a bit fitting for his demeanor). That just raises the question of why he's fine using royalty terms though.
"I think that everyone who has played this title and the additional stories in the expansion pass can imagine what lies in the future for Xenoblade"- Takahashi Unless you haven't been paying attention, this always meant X was coming back! Don't be surprised when X is part of the mainline canon either.
Watching your last video I was watching the X footage in the background and thinking how I really hope a definitive edition comes out next year and then two days later they announced it. Perfect timings
@@whawhawhawhaaaa Given that Xenoblade 2 made it to the west with I think zero character design changes, I'd say they are. (They did tone down some of the dialogue, but that's about it.)
I don't care if X doesn't connect to the wider series. I'm just so happy more people will be able to experience and that the chances of a proper follow up have increased.
I replied to a comment earlier saying that all Xeno titles are connected somewhat. I feel like they're gonna try and make X tie in to the larger series while having it make sense and not ruining anything.
@Key-Knight87 yeah I think you're right, it does make sense when we look at everything to do with this and Future Redeemed. I'm just happy X is getting time to shine either way.
Random idea: Remember the place the Aegises could visit? It was some sort of mental world that feels similar to that spot where Noah hesitated about ending the endless now. Since when they visited there, their bodies didn’t vanish, I believe it is some conceptual or soul based world, which the people on Mira are connected to, which could keep them tethered despite the Lifehold database being destroyed. That place seems to have something to do with the Trinity Processor (guess what the Lifehold looks like), and because of that I personally expect that that world is where Lao and the Black Knight are, in human bodies, because that is how they see themselves. We then have plenty of open room for Zohar shenanigans, whether or not it connects back to 1, 2, 3, and Saga. Personally, I don’t see Cross coming into the Radio Saga, because custom character, but Elma is very likely if it connects. (Insert here several paranoia filled paragraphs ranting about the Nopon Arcsage. They were a severe tangent.) If X and the Radio Saga are connected, then I see that as a possible connection point, with the rifts creating some connection between the worlds. The one thing that bugs me about this is the aliens, as Saga very clearly doesn’t have aliens, and connecting them would either mean taking only a few characters from X, connecting the Saga and X galaxies, or completely isolating every alien on Mira from their civilizations. All 3 could be done, but they would all have to be handled very carefully. Given their previous work, I think they could handle it, but it feels almost like unnecessary complexity that would dilute the story with things that don’t contribute proportional to the amount of time they would demand. Additionally, X is an alternate reality, and if the MCU has taught me anything, it is that a multiverse and time travel are the easiest ways to destroy all investment in a long running series. So I would probably would prefer that the universes remain separate, because Blade and Saga have the excuse that they were definitely all the same world the whole time, X requires a complete alternate history that opens a door that can’t be closed. The Arcsage seems to be able to bypass this, but at this point, I am half convinced that he is an Upper Domain being, and therefore, doesn’t have to follow any rules, which could be why Nopon are seemingly native to every Zohar created pocket dimension. (Thinking about this last sentence has gotten me even more paranoid about Nopon being connected to the Upper Domain.) I am pretty sure I had a point I was working towards at some point. I think it was that I think that Mira is or has a Trinity Processor type soul space that fits into the updated Radio lore better.
Elma's new face is more androgynous. Her jaw is closer to Alvis's so that might be what your noticing. I'm just surprised how much they warmed her skin up. She was very cool toned in the original
I so desperately want this to answer a lot of hanging questions the original left, but I have a feeling that just like XC1DE that the new story content is gonna be fairly brief, maybe answer a couple small things, and mostly serve only as a setup to the next X game. Which is funny to say when the original ended on a gigantic cliffhanger, but you know. But this also just means more Xenoblade X content in 2025 and a very real possibility of a sequel to it in the near future since the original trilogy is done, and I couldn't be happier. As for ideas, I had an idea that since Xenoblade X is the most like an MMO experience but still very much mostly a single-player game, that Xenoblade X could be re-released and treated like one where it gets expansions as story continuations rather than sequels. Because the way X is designed seems perfect for the idea of expanding the playable game world, adding new sidequests and multiplayer missions, more classes, etc. Obviously that likely won't happen with this version, but I think it's an interesting way to go about it. Of course this'd also pose a problem for a Nintendo console which traditionally has a criminally low amount of storage space.
This could be a reason for that nintendo online mmo they did with the 10k players. Imagine a switch 2 with this as a sequal but on a better system. Seeing rumours that the switch 2 has a bigger storage can lean to monolith going into a mmo style for xenoblade x. Plus they’re working on another ip too.
The thing that made me genuinely happy was seeing that the trailer had 52k likes like 24 hours after the video released. For reference, ALOT of Nintendo videos get maybe a few thousand likes.
Lao's JP voice actor died a few years ago. So if they don't rerecord at least his lines, then there is going to be a jarring jump between the old and new content for the Japanese crew.
Originally I blew off the Black Knight being Malos/Logos as just wishful thinking, but hearing you explain it? Now I kinda hope it is because of how funny it would be, even if its doing another Protagonist and Trinity Processor duo for the third time now. Plus, we never saw what Logos actually looked like in 2
I don't know why everyone is taking the voice over the cloaked character as definitely 100% that character saying that line, as if trailers don't often just grab other voice lines form elsewhere in a project that can fit over a shot without spoiling what's actually happening.
I am personally looking forward to the Xenogears tie in. I imagine Fei Fong Wong and Elhaym Van Houten in Xenoblade 4. Probably license issues, still looking forward to it.
Superb video, honestly getting xenoblade x definitive edition is just brilliant cannot wait to run around mira and fly a skell for the first time. aaah im hyped 😂
I am sure the re-release of X with additional content will work as "bridge" to the next mainline arc. Considering the Klaus saga culminated in XBC3 future redeemed. The will make X now fit in the canon somehow, which isn´t that much of a task considering how FR already made hints for all Xeno games being connected in one way or the other. So in retrospective X will be some kind of glimpse we already got long ago what direction the series will go for eventually. And I am pretty pretty sure we will see characters of both - X and the mainline series - in future entries together.
15 Gb, Jesus fuck. And as someone who has played both Xenoblade X and Elden Ring, I can say that the latter has a bigger file size while having less content in it. Nothing against Elden Ring, it's a good game with lots of stuff in it but compared to what X has to offer it falls way behind.
Three things: Firstly, IIRC XC2's engine is more or less a modified port job of X's engine due to them simply not having time to wait for Nintendo to make the proper base Switch engine - an issue shared by all the big launch year titles except MK8D, which doubled as both a game release and the test paylod for the development of said engine - so we have no idea how much of X was already ported to Switch or how much of it would just work if they put it into the final XC2 engine, so that answer doesn't really tell us anything about if they already had plans for this to happen. Secondly, one of the really weird tradeoffs in game development is that you can use duplicate copies of assets to reduce loading times at the cost of increasing file sizes - loading times include time spent searching for the assets being loaded in the file system, and duplicate copies of assets can be used to create bundles of assets that can be loaded as a group with a single file search - so the question of if the original game did this to any extent is important because if it did its filesize becomes useless for comparisons. Thirdly, I am personally sceptical of claims that the Switch 2 will be next year. Our one Direct for the year had way more 2025 stuff in it than I would expect if they were launching it in the first half of next year, particularly since it was allegedly focused on games releasing this year, and given how well a first half launch worked for the Switch, I am sceptical of any claims of Nintendo launching a new console in the second half of any year.
I just realized, but the additional story content for X DE is kinda confirmed to be more chapters and not a separate campaign like FC was: - The logo for 1 has the Monado paint strokes - 2 had the flames and Pyra's cross design on the 2 itself - 3 had the particles and term mark - X has the stylized X and bullets through the title - Torna the engraving and Tornan emblem - FR had both the Flames and paint strokes - and FC had Feathers, which were also present around 1 DE's, well "DE" part. But X DE's "DE" text has nothing around it. doesn't that imply that it's not its own bonus campaign but a Bigger X?
In terms of links to the rest of the series, I recall there being a collectible you could find in the sea around Noctilum that was a figurine clearly referencing the Bionis and Mechonis on top of that, the Verus skell is actually a mistranslation and is meant to be Wels, which is what it's called in the Japanese version as in the Wels from Xenogears
SPOILERS: I just feel that Klaus's Experiment and White Whale fleeing the earth are going to be one and the same. Even if retcons are necessary, it makes too much sense, and the radio really supports this in Future Reedeemed I believe?
Orrr it's a fated event across several universe and only the who earth is at war with changes. Could be civil war, could be the artificial humans fighting over the human rights bill and further oppression, or the aliens. klaus and the conduit are what changes the outcome drastically from the other two. There's no mention of leaving earth because aion and the conduit are their last ditch plan.
Well when launched on the Wii U Xenoblade Chronicles X biggest critisism was that the main story was to short and that the final boss didn't really feel like the real final boss. If they just add more chapters and a different final villain it would sorta push this to 9.5 / 10 game. The second thing people complained about was lack of quest tracking, especially for quest where you needed a certain material. If they also fix this it would pretty much be a perfect game.
ironically i think the new voice sounds like Matt Mercer which would obviously have a lot of implications seeing as he is the voice of Lao himself. Lao's eyes are the same in both shots too.
I think Xenoblade Chronicles X should be it's own series simply because it just is that good. Hopefully it becomes the best selling Xenoblade game on the Switch, it really deserves success.
As someone who played this game ten years ago, on behalf of the fanbase we need request these quality of life changes, 1) Toggle off the NLA night theme, 2) Allow the Full overdrive song Wir Fleigen to play, 3) Fix the repetitive swim sound, 4) Skell flight theme delay.
What we want to see *Updated* 1: Boob slider uncensored well uncensored gameplay from the original Japanese version. 2: Better online mode with more exploration harder missions and larger exploration of maps' for online mode 3: Better inventory clutter fix, with previews of equipment on obtaining them, and previews in the menu of each item. 4: Maybe a multi-player to explore your own world with friends in split screen and or online. 5: Let me choose to turn off the flight music. 6: When flying around in your mech, another key to turn into a Jet plane Mech to fast speed past map areas or escape from an op enemy. 7: Let us bring the Jump skill back. ---------------------------------------- I ranked over 30,000 hours in this game. I wonder how long the online mode in this game is now, or will they shutdown the servers like they did on the wii-U? Side note my character you might recognise is called Nirvana I was online 24/7 nearly since the wii-U's American release lol. Hopefully they give us new mechs and a lot of them, and more customization perhaps some download content to give us mechs like in Xenogears with cool weapons and unique abilities that are op lol I'd like to fly around with Xenogears from well Xenogears lol Lau in the game might mean he can bring his black mech to help the team lol. Also you know there's going to be a Xenoblade Chronicles X-2 if this game does well on the switch, and it will come out on the switch 2 guaranteed. Wonder when it will be on physical pre-order? Oh don't worry m8 they can connect all the characters like they did in the games, via the dimension rift, and yes this is my fav game of all time probably. I spent the longest on it than any other game in the world, the main story was weak and quick, but the exploration and missions were so good it made up for it. *What do you think? What would you like to see updated or changed?*

My speculation is that X2 is the next mainline game in the series and Monolith is re-releasing X now to get the fans ready.
X DE will most likely have a new epilogue similar to Future Redeemed & connected, that’ll be a few extra hours of story content and gameplay that’ll be set ups for what’s to come later in the sequel X2.
And before anyone says “they didn’t announce an epilogue” give it some time. When XCDE was originally announced they didn’t announce Future Connected alongside it initially.

Do understand that X is the title with the least story. There was a lot of content planned that never made it, and the story in general feels unfinished. The extra story content is probably the stuff that never made it. Sooo many unanswered questions in that game, and sure not everything needs answers, but there are just some things that feel really out of place in it. I'll keep it at that to avoid spoilers.

No wait that's kind of a sick idea actually
That's what Im hoping for too, the OST was rather divisive and there was some discourse around it when the game came out, I'm thinking of a similar thing like XBDE with possibly a remixed OST or possibly some volume slider options, given that they improved the audio mixing from the trailer it does seem they're well aware of it
They have to do that, the suffering must end.
@@franciscor390 Speak for yourself, I actually enjoy the default ost haha. However, having more options would be hella nice
Smaller file sizes are partially because of flash storage. When storing on a spinning disk (either a bluray disc or a harddrive) you need to duplicate a bunch of data a bunch of times to cut down on loading speeds. So this is an increase from the internal storage versions to these new cartridge versions.
The cat's tail has more polygons. 10/10 remaster
Saw the cat and immediately thought it might be one of the developer's actual cats they meticulously modeled after and put into the game. Most cats in video games i've seen - which is a very limited number mind you - don't ever look that unique.
Wait until you saw goethia
I'm so glad that I'm not the only one who remembered that the Aegis Cores are used to splitting apart & becoming 2 entirely different people. I can see the Black Knight being Malos' version of A, while the Alpha version (the part without any of the humanity that's mostly a logic-focused way of thinking) could potentially be the Great One that the Ganglion worship. Only because it would take some sort of higher power to strengthen the Ganglion & make them confident enough to break away from the Samaar Federation.
My thought is that it's this universe's version of malos. Basically one that isn't being smothered by his driver's influence, where you could see shades of it in 2 and torna where he's calm, a tease and a bit sarcastic but cared. But I want just once for him to yell to show that yeah, he's INDEED malos, and being this universe's version of him, still capable of having a destructive nature if pushed too far.
Also many compared N to being a golden jin, malos being his sword basically makes it not a joke. I think it's pretty sweet of him actually to reunite with him or someone very similar. Malos respects power, but I think why he befriended jin was, aside from his growing guilt, because some part of him was reminded of his trinity sibling alvis. It's why he ended up connecting with jin so much, though i don't think he had conscious memories of alvis, unless it was like pyra who had vague memories at best of what elysium was. I've said for years jin is 2's version of alvis, even getting the red core crystal from becoming a perfect flesh eater. so malos was probably reminded of him even more; the additional powers also made him respect jin more, knowing they came at a price. Realizing that damn, he really had it in him to go through with it.
Xenoblade 2 conduit leaving at the end of the game.....
.....Conduit shows up in the new Xenoblade X content.
...okay, but imagine tho..
The zohar has come back with the milk at last.
It's currently in the vicinity of Earth, either within the Earth or on the moon, most likely the moon.

Kidding
But yeah, would be cool. Bugs me when people say it's impossible for the games to connect.
Their main argument is the lack of aliens.
But the thing is, if you cross reference with real life information of UAP/NHI, there has been official talk by David Grusch that they are interdimensional. At that, possibly future humans.
So considering real life information coming out about our own reality, it isn't a stretch for a fantasy/sci-fi series to cross over in such a way.
If it is possible in our own reality, why not in this game that takes from reality, science, religion and so on for their story.
I could go deeper than that as well.
Apparently ghosts and aliens aren't all that much different from one another.
LETS GO THEY HIRED A SOUND GUY!
Please, raise the level cap and give me more super bosses. I want to fight level 200 raid bosses with the boys
Your Gradivus footage makes it look like his nickname is The Headass Emperor. Also I don’t expect the black knight to straight up be Malos but I could see him and Lao paralleling Malos and Jin’s relationship
I subscribe to the idea that 2 and 3 formed from the original story plans for X that were cut. JBSphereFreak and SparksOpus collaborated on some videos that laid this idea out in a fairly convincing manner
I also think that X is the origin for 3's concept ever since they said they had the concept of 3 before making 2. X and 3 have a lot of similarities, so it would make sense that they realized they had to change a lot of things (and make 2) to make the concept fit in with the events of 1 so they kept X as is and separate, otherwise they would have had to scrap most of it.
I don't know if anyone's ever said it, but I really appreciate how you approach spoilers. I have played all the Xeno games, so I don't mind spoilers, but I think it's really cool how you casually give warnings before spoilers happen. It's really nice.
The Black Knight is Laos real human body that snuck on the White Whale
Damn Juju, that's a good theory
Fun fact too, in JP, both Gwin and Malos share the same JP VA, so its unlikely the black knight is Malos.

@@xxargonautxx9790not a dlc, just implemented in the game (like they told us)
I agree with X being an alternate universe and that the Samaarians and Ganglion are actually the original humans from Klaus’ universe who were sucked into the X universe because of the experiment. Also, gotta say, massive props to talking about the people who said you’d be upset with X being ported instead of saga and saying how X is still an important game, I respect you so much more than i already did before, Luxin.
That seems like it might have been the original intention since briefly you see the Samaarian ships and they look like Abel's Ark from Saga. That would be imagry suggesting travel between domains.
@@phillosmaster393 Maybe we'll get an explanation of that odd painting in XBC3....
I think the painting is meant to be a clue about the consuls and their past but we have so little to go off of that the painting could be almost anything.

It is kinda funny that I watched that previous video only hours before the xenoblaxe XDE announcement dropped
I'd finished it the night before, and just had the bit where he said there'd probably not be anything echoing in my head for the entire runtime of the trailer
After the initial excitement wore off, I immediately thought of you and what you said merely a day and a half prior.
MonolithSoft is watching you, Luxin!
I've been waiting for this!!
This feels like the hype for the original Wii U version of Xenoblade X, all over again. No joke. Let me tell you, after spending 2015 obsessively watching and re-watching trailers and guides for X, that was a Christmas to remember. I remember the feeling well. I'm so excited for this Definitive Edition. March cannot come soon enough.
Yes it was huge for us few fans of the WiiU. I’m not liking how Nintendo has treated us though if you look at the switch library there are so many WiiU games just feels like a smack in the face sometimes as someone who supported them through difficult times.
@@sandman8920Nahh, heck to the exclusivist perspective, I'm just happy to finally have people to talk about how amazing XCX is. This game was the GOAT, the GOAT! I still listen to a manually dumped, high-resolution copy of the OST daily. The fact it went under the radar because the Wii U sank was a criminal loss for a game that deserved all the attention in the world.
@ fair enough
Honestly, this proves switch 2 will be back compatible with switch games. Monolith will show their new ip game on switch 2, while ALL of Xenoblade can be played on switch 2. Monolith has been KILLING it this gen. Every game on the switch and X cost an arm and leg to be port to switch. Tho monolith deserved it. They carried nintendo this gen.
Wasn't it leaked/confirmed that the new switch will use the same iso's (whatever) as the current switch. Which people have theorised is why they don't want emulators now (since they would also work on games on the new switch)
A lot of people forget that for the portable consoles of Nintendo, it is very typical to have games that run on both and upscale something while using the enhanced hardware, they did it wit the Game boy color, the expansion pack for the N64, they did it with the Wii U, it would not suprise me that X has enhancements on the switch succesor
I'm betting they'll retcon a few lines in the near-Earth space battle scene.
I want to jump on your point about how they could expand on L's character. I noticed during my last playthrough of the game that he only ever refers to himself as "we." If he does that in other languages too, I would love for them to explore that. I'd argue that he's fluent enough in English to know that referring to himself as "we" is grammatically incorrect. It's really just idioms he struggles with. He could be referring to his entire species, but he's the only member of his species that we see. We don't even so much as see any signs that are other members of his species on Mira. I want to know what's going on there.
He could, technically, be using the royal "we", assuming he's been looking through more antiquated information (a bit fitting for his demeanor).
That just raises the question of why he's fine using royalty terms though.
What a goated moment in gaming history. New Nintendo hardware is about to launch? It's time to launch a new Xenoblade game as well!

A Luxin video to round out my Birthday. Truly I have been blessed.
Been waiting for this since the trailer dropped, whenever we get a trailer always look forward to the long videos you put out!
I really love how I became a fan of this series because of XC3 and THERE`S SO MUCH CONTENT and just keeps coming!
The best thing about this is that it opens the possibility of X2 being made, if X sells well
It's a wild ride, this passage of fate.
im not saying im EXPECTING a siren mech and oroborous mechs BUT
I don't care if X doesn't connect to the wider series. I'm just so happy more people will be able to experience and that the chances of a proper follow up have increased.
I replied to a comment earlier saying that all Xeno titles are connected somewhat. I feel like they're gonna try and make X tie in to the larger series while having it make sense and not ruining anything.
@Key-Knight87 yeah I think you're right, it does make sense when we look at everything to do with this and Future Redeemed. I'm just happy X is getting time to shine either way.
Random idea: Remember the place the Aegises could visit? It was some sort of mental world that feels similar to that spot where Noah hesitated about ending the endless now. Since when they visited there, their bodies didn’t vanish, I believe it is some conceptual or soul based world, which the people on Mira are connected to, which could keep them tethered despite the Lifehold database being destroyed. That place seems to have something to do with the Trinity Processor (guess what the Lifehold looks like), and because of that I personally expect that that world is where Lao and the Black Knight are, in human bodies, because that is how they see themselves.
We then have plenty of open room for Zohar shenanigans, whether or not it connects back to 1, 2, 3, and Saga. Personally, I don’t see Cross coming into the Radio Saga, because custom character, but Elma is very likely if it connects.
(Insert here several paranoia filled paragraphs ranting about the Nopon Arcsage. They were a severe tangent.)
If X and the Radio Saga are connected, then I see that as a possible connection point, with the rifts creating some connection between the worlds. The one thing that bugs me about this is the aliens, as Saga very clearly doesn’t have aliens, and connecting them would either mean taking only a few characters from X, connecting the Saga and X galaxies, or completely isolating every alien on Mira from their civilizations. All 3 could be done, but they would all have to be handled very carefully. Given their previous work, I think they could handle it, but it feels almost like unnecessary complexity that would dilute the story with things that don’t contribute proportional to the amount of time they would demand.
Additionally, X is an alternate reality, and if the MCU has taught me anything, it is that a multiverse and time travel are the easiest ways to destroy all investment in a long running series.
So I would probably would prefer that the universes remain separate, because Blade and Saga have the excuse that they were definitely all the same world the whole time, X requires a complete alternate history that opens a door that can’t be closed. The Arcsage seems to be able to bypass this, but at this point, I am half convinced that he is an Upper Domain being, and therefore, doesn’t have to follow any rules, which could be why Nopon are seemingly native to every Zohar created pocket dimension. (Thinking about this last sentence has gotten me even more paranoid about Nopon being connected to the Upper Domain.)
I am pretty sure I had a point I was working towards at some point. I think it was that I think that Mira is or has a Trinity Processor type soul space that fits into the updated Radio lore better.
been waiting for this since the announcment lets goooooo
so anyone wanna read my theory about how Mira is inside the Zohar?
Hit it!
It’s been 12 hours dawg
Not a chance
Possible.
Mira -> Miracle
The Zohar can create Miracle
Makes sens to me
Elma's new face is more androgynous. Her jaw is closer to Alvis's so that might be what your noticing.
I'm just surprised how much they warmed her skin up. She was very cool toned in the original
I think that her skin got like this because of the anime shading.
A
I so desperately want this to answer a lot of hanging questions the original left, but I have a feeling that just like XC1DE that the new story content is gonna be fairly brief, maybe answer a couple small things, and mostly serve only as a setup to the next X game. Which is funny to say when the original ended on a gigantic cliffhanger, but you know. But this also just means more Xenoblade X content in 2025 and a very real possibility of a sequel to it in the near future since the original trilogy is done, and I couldn't be happier.
As for ideas, I had an idea that since Xenoblade X is the most like an MMO experience but still very much mostly a single-player game, that Xenoblade X could be re-released and treated like one where it gets expansions as story continuations rather than sequels. Because the way X is designed seems perfect for the idea of expanding the playable game world, adding new sidequests and multiplayer missions, more classes, etc. Obviously that likely won't happen with this version, but I think it's an interesting way to go about it. Of course this'd also pose a problem for a Nintendo console which traditionally has a criminally low amount of storage space.
This could be a reason for that nintendo online mmo they did with the 10k players. Imagine a switch 2 with this as a sequal but on a better system. Seeing rumours that the switch 2 has a bigger storage can lean to monolith going into a mmo style for xenoblade x. Plus they’re working on another ip too.
The thing that made me genuinely happy was seeing that the trailer had 52k likes like 24 hours after the video released. For reference, ALOT of Nintendo videos get maybe a few thousand likes.
Luxin lol literally jinxed it
Lao's JP voice actor died a few years ago. So if they don't rerecord at least his lines, then there is going to be a jarring jump between the old and new content for the Japanese crew.
Originally I blew off the Black Knight being Malos/Logos as just wishful thinking, but hearing you explain it? Now I kinda hope it is because of how funny it would be, even if its doing another Protagonist and Trinity Processor duo for the third time now. Plus, we never saw what Logos actually looked like in 2
I don't know why everyone is taking the voice over the cloaked character as definitely 100% that character saying that line, as if trailers don't often just grab other voice lines form elsewhere in a project that can fit over a shot without spoiling what's actually happening.
I am personally looking forward to the Xenogears tie in. I imagine Fei Fong Wong and Elhaym Van Houten in Xenoblade 4. Probably license issues, still looking forward to it.
Love you Luxin!! Thanks for always putting out fun videos after Xeno news drops. Been refreshing all day!
ITS HEREEEEEE LETS GOOOO
IF YOU PRESS 6 ON YOUR KEYBOARD IT JUMPS PERFECTLY STRAIGHT TO THE CREDITS SCENE DISCUSSION LOL.
They have a huge opportunity to improve the appearance of the food in the infamous cutscenes.
Superb video, honestly getting xenoblade x definitive edition is just brilliant cannot wait to run around mira and fly a skell for the first time. aaah im hyped 😂
I am sure the re-release of X with additional content will work as "bridge" to the next mainline arc. Considering the Klaus saga culminated in XBC3 future redeemed. The will make X now fit in the canon somehow, which isn´t that much of a task considering how FR already made hints for all Xeno games being connected in one way or the other. So in retrospective X will be some kind of glimpse we already got long ago what direction the series will go for eventually. And I am pretty pretty sure we will see characters of both - X and the mainline series - in future entries together.
15 Gb, Jesus fuck. And as someone who has played both Xenoblade X and Elden Ring, I can say that the latter has a bigger file size while having less content in it. Nothing against Elden Ring, it's a good game with lots of stuff in it but compared to what X has to offer it falls way behind.
Three things: Firstly, IIRC XC2's engine is more or less a modified port job of X's engine due to them simply not having time to wait for Nintendo to make the proper base Switch engine - an issue shared by all the big launch year titles except MK8D, which doubled as both a game release and the test paylod for the development of said engine - so we have no idea how much of X was already ported to Switch or how much of it would just work if they put it into the final XC2 engine, so that answer doesn't really tell us anything about if they already had plans for this to happen.
Secondly, one of the really weird tradeoffs in game development is that you can use duplicate copies of assets to reduce loading times at the cost of increasing file sizes - loading times include time spent searching for the assets being loaded in the file system, and duplicate copies of assets can be used to create bundles of assets that can be loaded as a group with a single file search - so the question of if the original game did this to any extent is important because if it did its filesize becomes useless for comparisons.
Thirdly, I am personally sceptical of claims that the Switch 2 will be next year. Our one Direct for the year had way more 2025 stuff in it than I would expect if they were launching it in the first half of next year, particularly since it was allegedly focused on games releasing this year, and given how well a first half launch worked for the Switch, I am sceptical of any claims of Nintendo launching a new console in the second half of any year.
My eyes hurt looking at the looped footage containing a microsecond of another scene at the beginning of it😵💫
28:56 if I recall correctly, the little cowlick was a togglable option in the character creator so they may have just chosen to turn it off this time
Now that you've mentioned that the next video won't be a Xeno video, I'd laugh if Xenosaga Remastered is announced tomorrow at complete random.
I just realized, but the additional story content for X DE is kinda confirmed to be more chapters and not a separate campaign like FC was:
- The logo for 1 has the Monado paint strokes
- 2 had the flames and Pyra's cross design on the 2 itself
- 3 had the particles and term mark
- X has the stylized X and bullets through the title
- Torna the engraving and Tornan emblem
- FR had both the Flames and paint strokes
- and FC had Feathers, which were also present around 1 DE's, well "DE" part.
But X DE's "DE" text has nothing around it. doesn't that imply that it's not its own bonus campaign but a Bigger X?
Been waiting for this since the announcement yesterday morning, thanks for the good eats goat.
In terms of links to the rest of the series, I recall there being a collectible you could find in the sea around Noctilum that was a figurine clearly referencing the Bionis and Mechonis
on top of that, the Verus skell is actually a mistranslation and is meant to be Wels, which is what it's called in the Japanese version
as in the Wels from Xenogears
I was literally waiting for you to drop a video after watching the trailer lol

I just feel that Klaus's Experiment and White Whale fleeing the earth are going to be one and the same. Even if retcons are necessary, it makes too much sense, and the radio really supports this in Future Reedeemed I believe?
Orrr it's a fated event across several universe and only the who earth is at war with changes. Could be civil war, could be the artificial humans fighting over the human rights bill and further oppression, or the aliens. klaus and the conduit are what changes the outcome drastically from the other two. There's no mention of leaving earth because aion and the conduit are their last ditch plan.
This game and xc1 are my favorites, man I can’t wait to have all of the xc on one system LFG
I think this is the first Luxin video that I actively anticipated in excitement for lol
Cant wait to see you and Enel casually in matchmaking hopefully
Well when launched on the Wii U Xenoblade Chronicles X biggest critisism was that the main story was to short and that the final boss didn't really feel like the real final boss. If they just add more chapters and a different final villain it would sorta push this to 9.5 / 10 game.
The second thing people complained about was lack of quest tracking, especially for quest where you needed a certain material. If they also fix this it would pretty much be a perfect game.
Can we get much higherrrr. So pumped. Hope they add a lot of QoL features
ironically i think the new voice sounds like Matt Mercer which would obviously have a lot of implications seeing as he is the voice of Lao himself. Lao's eyes are the same in both shots too.
53:19 I love the original X. One of my gripes with it was battling huge enemies like these, and the camera allows you to just see their feet.
God, watching that video then waking up the next morning to the announcement trailer was hilarious
I think Xenoblade Chronicles X should be it's own series simply because it just is that good.
Hopefully it becomes the best selling Xenoblade game on the Switch, it really deserves success.
Xenoblade Chronicles Y and Xenoblade Chronicles Z would be the best outcome here
We are so back
Was happy to see an hour+ long vid from you on this!
1 hour and 18 minutes LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
11:41 thank you yes bring back the thing that was only removed in the western version
Another luxin banger to have on while working
I was already waiting for this video!!! So happy it’s here!!! Now we need remake of Saga and specially GEARS!
As someone who played this game ten years ago, on behalf of the fanbase we need request these quality of life changes, 1) Toggle off the NLA night theme, 2) Allow the Full overdrive song Wir Fleigen to play, 3) Fix the repetitive swim sound, 4) Skell flight theme delay.
Music toggle is necessary.
Thank you luxin i cannot live without your 1 hour videos about a 2 minute trailer
What we want to see *Updated*
1: Boob slider uncensored well uncensored gameplay from the original Japanese version.
2: Better online mode with more exploration harder missions and larger exploration of maps' for online mode
3: Better inventory clutter fix, with previews of equipment on obtaining them, and previews in the menu of each item.
4: Maybe a multi-player to explore your own world with friends in split screen and or online.
5: Let me choose to turn off the flight music.
6: When flying around in your mech, another key to turn into a Jet plane Mech to fast speed past map areas or escape from an op enemy.
7: Let us bring the Jump skill back.
----------------------------------------
I ranked over 30,000 hours in this game. I wonder how long the online mode in this game is now, or will they shutdown the servers like they did on the wii-U? Side note my character you might recognise is called Nirvana I was online 24/7 nearly since the wii-U's American release lol.
Hopefully they give us new mechs and a lot of them, and more customization perhaps some download content to give us mechs like in Xenogears with cool weapons and unique abilities that are op lol I'd like to fly around with Xenogears from well Xenogears lol Lau in the game might mean he can bring his black mech to help the team lol.
Also you know there's going to be a Xenoblade Chronicles X-2 if this game does well on the switch, and it will come out on the switch 2 guaranteed. Wonder when it will be on physical pre-order? Oh don't worry m8 they can connect all the characters like they did in the games, via the dimension rift, and yes this is my fav game of all time probably.
I spent the longest on it than any other game in the world, the main story was weak and quick, but the exploration and missions were so good it made up for it.
*What do you think? What would you like to see updated or changed?*
I really hope that all of the stuff that was on the gamepad is implemented well
LETS GO HOUR LONG LUXIN VID
