Linada or Vanea gets my vote. Having a machina as a party member would really help sell the whole unity between Bionis an Mechonis that they have at the end of the game; plus it would nice to have a healer that isn't obsolete at end/post-game.
Honestly, if Mumkhar was still alive, I’d imagine him acting as a post game super boss type character, for this game or potentially some sort of sequel.
The problem with Alvis is that he's in a similar situation to Dickson. Sure, Alvis's motives are different, but in the end, he still ends up "betraying" the party around the time that the other members of the Trinity are revealed.
I love the idea of adding Tyrea and Désirée as playable characters. Just like Mia they would've been a reward in form of a bonus character for Questlines. This is something that we didn't had so often in the Series so often and while I think it would also be cool to have those extra characters for Xenoblade DE not involving in the story (they don't need to stand apart from the rest in the cutscenes where they'rent important like in X). Maybe as bonus content for a New Game Plus run. That would allow to make Mumkhar and Dunban playable without destroying the first playthrough experience. I would also love a DLC which adds Rex, Pyra, Mythra and perhaps Elma and Lin like they did in Xenoblade Chronicles 2. Srsly this game had such good DLC I hope they continue like this. But it's more important to have good content in the main game (it already has a hell lot of content anyway). I'm really excited to see what kind of extra stuff will be added to the DE Version.
Heck yeah! There's so much you could do. The story of Dunban ending with the battle of Sword Valley, The story of Arglas that led up to the destruction of Mechonis. One of the previous ages where Zanza absorbed all life. (That would be depressing though) the origin story of the Telethia.. so many stories in that world, that'd be awesome.
@@GhibliNova Xenoblade in General is depressing. But those scenes after the sad part is over teach us that there is always a time after the sorrow. We can change the future. Probably one of the best morals a game ever told in aone of the coolest ways ever
I honestly hope they do. I’ve been wanting a prequel for so long. I remember back when they revealed Xenoblade 2 I was like “…But I wanted a prequel, not a sequel”.
@@667GameFreak Well... It was neither of those in the end. Monolith Soft surely knows how to blow up peoples mind. If we're honest most people who would play the DLC would play it after they've been through the main game. Just like with Xenoblade 2 back then. However Torna could've been played before Xenoblade Chronicles 2 Maingame and I would honestly love to know how that would've felt. Torna ended only with that one scene which was happening right before Jin became what he is in the main game.
9:36 And some people complained that Monolith Soft only leaned into fanservice with XC2, lmao. I didn't know they explained in detail how proud they were of Vanea's boob physics, lol.
Analytics may be low because very specialized content. It works only for people that already played these games and like the lore. I know I avoid a lot of videos you make until I actualy play these games.
Désirée is an awesome pick and should definitely happen, but I also really like the Meymey suggestion. I know Shulk wanted a world without gods, but you have no idea how sad I was when he didn't bring her back as a normal human in his new world. Please, just... more Galea please!
[Spoilers for Xenoblade 2 if you haven't played it] Having Meyneth join the party would allow for a very interesting possibility. Namely, she could provide plenty of insight into Zanza/Klaus and her relationship with him, as well as telling more about herself. It's something I can see happening if they wanted it so, just like how XC2 sort of retcons *that particular scene* in order to dive a little deeper into both of their characters.
As someone who triggered the xord dialogue early, I have to say it did not ruin the reveal but rather made it that much more devastating when I realized that the shared name wasn’t an accident
17:54 I don’t know how much that would pose a problem in-universe since the game seems super close to totally forgiving him just for being sorry anyways. Maybe he could join, then help reverse the face-pilot-ness of a second character like Gadolt or Mumkar. Anyways, now that I’ve watched the whole video I am _super_ behind Desere and Vinea being playable. Imagine Vinea _actually_ fighting Egil after declaring she no longer supports him, rather than just saying “brother stop” a whole bunch?
Mumkhar, Gadolt, Meyneth, Egil should stay dead. In fact, Mumkhar can't be dead enough. Juju and Vangarre should stay as whatever they are. Otharon I'm neutral on. Desiree I don't care about. Linada and Vanea are solid options, but Vanea is stronger and the most likely out of all options in my opinion. Tyrea is the option I'd be more interested in, but she'd need to be a deep late game character. I just hope we get more of her in some way or another, and the feathers in the Definitive edition logo seem like a good sign.
I always thought it would be really cool to have Venea be the last party member as she rounds out the races of the two worlds and she wouldn't be added too late in the story
You know what I want? The traveling companions to be temporary party members. Not ones like Juju though. The ones like Otharon and Dickson who are clearly capable of fighting. That scene where you meet Otharon especially irks me. Dude asks for help and then you do all the work.
I think Monolith could use Mumkar without amnesia. He could get treated just like Gangrel did in Fire Emblem Awakening. It could play out like this: The party hear about some band of ruffians harassing a village only to find out Mumkar is amongst them. Mumkar is nothing but some lowly bandit in the group and he laments his fall from grace. When Shulk and company find him, they actively dump on him, just as he does to himself too. Except Dunban, who reminds Mumkar of how much better he was and to put aside his revenge, and Shulk, who has Fiora, so all is forgiven. Perhaps, depending on the story, Shulk could even mention how there is a far bigger threat, being Zanza, which would pale in comparison to what Mumkar is feeling, as a sort of call to arms. Also for heart to hearts, Dunban could talk to him about their glory days. Shulk could redeem Mumkar in their support. Maybe Fiora could even converse and “bond” over their time as Faces. He doesn’t have to win over the party. Rather, they pity him enough to let him join, since he’s without Metal Face.
While I think adding another party member would add to the experience, I'm a little hesitant to the idea. This mainly stems from my having played Golden Sun: Dark Dawn, which has a character join right at the end of the story and basically get no major developments. Granted, it is very possible that Monolith could be expanding on this already massive game, so maybe I'm worrying for nothing. Vanea seems like the most likely choice given the context, though I think Egil is more possible than you give him credit for, but it could undermine his character arc. I don't think the game needs another healer, or at least not a fully dedicated healer like Sharla. Rarely do you ever need that level of healing, and it makes Sharla the weakest character even if you look past her horrible talent art.
If anyone I honestly think it’ll be Vanea. She’s a guest pretty much from when you enter the Mechonis to when you leave it, plus Machina are the only race that aren’t playable.
Egil is one of those characters where, I wish he could be a party member, but now that I know he dies, I don't want him as a party member. I think he would have been cool, but he dies and I think him dying there fits perfectly into his arc.
I think Tyrea+Machina have the highest chances, but i loved Desiree's sidequests and Xord too so would be so hype to have her as a member of the party.
I cant tell you the frustration I had when I finally found a copy of Xenoblade Chronicles after keeping my an eye out for it for years, to then learn about the definitive edition only a couple weeks later. Well I hope they come out with a definitive edition for x on a system people actually have too
Wasn’t there a character that was supposed to join you originally, but got scrapped like the shoulder? I thought Chuggaconroy said something like that in his LP.
I feel like the only options here which make sense are Juju/Otharon and Tyrea technically. They fit as sidequest given party members. Vanea could be cool too, but I'm not sure if she'd fit the story. Of course, all of them could make some sense as NG+ exclusive options or something. Anyway, Rex as party member in DE via Challenge Mode as number 12, I want that one
Maybe in order to get Gadolt as a party member and have Sharla and Ryan to still be a thing, maybe the one with the higher affinity with Sharla ends up getting with her in the last cutscene. Also, maybe Meyneth isn't able to restore all of his memories so they end up drifting apart abit so Reyn has a chance.
Magus was willing to let the entire world burn just to get revenge for his sister, and he was willing to set aside his personal vengeance to help the party bring down Lavos. I think Egil could be written to do the same.
Wait what? You are not going to discuss how Alvis would make a potential party member? He could join anywhere between prison island and the fallen arm, or after the egil fight. Did I miss the part where you say it can't work?
I think Tyrea is definetly the most likely of these, I also tought about it possibly tying to Bionis Shoulder, especially if we're to believe there will be stuff mainly focusing on Melia assuming from the trailer, maybe there we will have the continuation to Melancholy Tyrea, and after finishing, or maybe even just mid-way trough whatever story happens in there, Tyrea joins the party.
Vanea and Tyrea are like the only ones I think would work well and I'd enjoy as well. And they also add extra variety to the group in the end. A Machina And a Pure High Entia.
So if there is a challenge mode instead of rex and charecters from xenoblade 2 since it wouldn't make to much sense if this new challenge mode takes place before two's challenge mode. It think a neet set of charecters could be link , bowser, and samus aran. Since shulk meets them in smash.
I would be very happy if there were alternate endings so we could only incapacitate the villains and allow them to join our party. Then I could make the prince and Lorithia a thing without it being creepy. Everyone knows Lorithia is Best Girl, evil mad scientist laugh and showy poses and all. Also, we all cried when Dickson died. I WANT TO REDEEM HIM!!! 😢
The biggest issue with adding existing characters as party member is that they would have to change the story quite a bit to fit them into the story. I doubt monolithsoft is going to rewrite the story when al of the VAs area decade older and probably busy. It's why the new restored content might not even have any voice acting. Hopefully, it does and they do go out of their way to change up the story for new party members. My hope is that we get something similar to what the challenge mode did with XC2. Maybe have either rex and pyra together or just Pyra/mythra as a permanent party member. They don't impact the story but they would be someone new to help with the additional content and superbosses. Linada would be pretty nice as well. She could specialize in offensive healing/ crit heal. Crit heal in XC1 is i don;t think can even be done in NG. So, she would be a very good DPS for dishing out constant damage while healing herself.
I love the idea of Lynada as a party member. I don't think you have to reckon much of Egil's story to add him as a party member. Having him survive Mechonis Core also gives him the opportunity to actually redeem himself and try to fix the evil's he's done. You know, sacrificing yourself doesn't fix what you've done, and all that.
I was definitely thinking Tyrea, she seemed like an obvious pick. Surprised by the suggestion of Desiree, but I'd like that, she seems pretty cool too! I've also wanted some machina party member too though, since as you said they basically haven't been represented at all.
I think Egil on his own would work best. Excluding story changes, the way I see it, if he joined the party, it would be his redemption arc. He works with Shulk and the party to fight Zanza in order to redeem himself. He fits right in as a Machina Rep, he fits in the party theme, and while he may not be a healer, his possible summoning mechanics would be really interesting. Its unfortunate that if they wanted to include him, it would ruin one of the biggest and most climatic sections of the game excluding the final boss.
I think gadolt as a playable character is not that plot breaking, reins and sharlas relationship is not that fleshed out... Maybe the new characters could be optional, so someone who wants to recruit gadolt gets a different ending, same for the npc girl, the courier choice could be the option for her playstyle
I was thinking the entire time that Linada would make a good new party member especially since she got such a distinct design for the relatively small role she plays in the plot. Vanea is the next most likely but she's probably too powerful in-universe to ride around with the heroes, both in terms of abilities and authority.
Vanea, Linada, and Tyrea are both the best and most realistic options. Let’s be real, everyone else on this list is just there to bring the total to 10. I really can’t say which of those three I would prefer though. I don’t expect there to be more than one new party member, so it’s either-or, as far as I’m concerned. We need a Machina rep, and we need a healer, but Tyrea is just too good of a character choice compared to the other ones... As a side note, I can see there being some NG+ exclusive stuff in this regard. Maybe a permenent (albeit limited) Mumkhar, Dickson, and Alvis, and Fiorneth with her Monodo. Not expecting too many curveballs there though.
Vanea I'm completely down for but I really don't want Mumkhar or Gadolt to be playable ngl If we do get a new one Vanea is definitely most likely I think
His true name was Vandham not “Vangarre”. That one was a dumb localization change by Nintendo of Europe. Thankfully the other Vandham didn't get their name changed again.
Linada or Tyrea are my top hopes. I liked Linada and thought there could be a lot of character potential in her, and Tyrea just fits. I hope they add 1-3 more party members for base then in NG+ all temporary members get added in forever
I need a machina party member that isn't a special case like you all know who. Offtopic but I would also like to see more areas on the mechonis become explorable.
Unless they do future DLC for DE, unfortunately none of these happened. Honestly, I'd enjoy any of these if only to get to know the characters better. Now, speculation for a sequel in the XC1 world could have any of these show up (except probably Meyneth), even if it would be a huge stretch for some of them. I'd love to be able to explore the new planet they're on, particularly the ruins of the Mechonis-where maybe you could find a deactivated Egil that Linada could repair, for example.
For ng+, it story elements should not limit who could be party members. U already saw the whole story, so adding a new party member that technically wouldn't make sense doesn't really matter. Also, why would the story need to change in order to accommodate the new members?
Better list: Mario, Link, Donkey Kong, Bowser, Ganon, Captain Falcon, Pikmon, Bowsette, Ash, Goku Probably mostly Goku, he deserves it the most since he missed out on Smash. In fact, adding the whole Smash Roster and Goku would make the game a MUST purchase.
I would honestly love if they added more to the story itself. Main story is perfect as it is but more things that are not huge lore changers would be great addition

I'll bet that Sharla is going to get reworked for the new release. Monolith have learned how to make healers more effective in more recent entries.

This is something that we didn't had so often in the Series so often and while I think it would also be cool to have those extra characters for Xenoblade DE not involving in the story (they don't need to stand apart from the rest in the cutscenes where they'rent important like in X).

Amnesiac Mumkhar could make an interesting post-game storyline.
Alvis has a strong possibility. Maybe we can get some clarification on the 3rd aegis.
Linada as second healer and Tyrea as a jack of all trades (dodge tank / melee dps / some healing over time)
I think they should just do a DLC prequel story like Torna.
Heck yeah! There's so much you could do. The story of Dunban ending with the battle of Sword Valley, The story of Arglas that led up to the destruction of Mechonis. One of the previous ages where Zanza absorbed all life. (That would be depressing though) the origin story of the Telethia.. so many stories in that world, that'd be awesome.

#10 Desiree would be great. Kinda like a secret party member. Chrono Trigger had a secret party member, and I think FF III/VI had it as well.
I love the idea of Lynada as a party member. I don't think you have to reckon much of Egil's story to add him as a party member. Having him survive Mechonis Core also gives him the opportunity to actually redeem himself and try to fix the evil's he's done. You know, sacrificing yourself doesn't fix what you've done, and all that.
I was definitely thinking Tyrea, she seemed like an obvious pick. Surprised by the suggestion of Desiree, but I'd like that, she seems pretty cool too! I've also wanted some machina party member too though, since as you said they basically haven't been represented at all.
Any chance that they completely overhaul the quests in Xenoblade Chronicles DE?
I think Egil on his own would work best. Excluding story changes, the way I see it, if he joined the party, it would be his redemption arc. He works with Shulk and the party to fight Zanza in order to redeem himself. He fits right in as a Machina Rep, he fits in the party theme, and while he may not be a healer, his possible summoning mechanics would be really interesting. Its unfortunate that if they wanted to include him, it would ruin one of the biggest and most climatic sections of the game excluding the final boss.
The twist is that Xord survived and Desiree can just summon him for her personal skill
20:40 FUTURE CONNECTED !
I’m actually really down for Linada to be a party member.
I think gadolt as a playable character is not that plot breaking, reins and sharlas relationship is not that fleshed out... Maybe the new characters could be optional, so someone who wants to recruit gadolt gets a different ending, same for the npc girl, the courier choice could be the option for her playstyle
Desirée is a solid choice for an early party member
Also: Tyrea = Cherenkov reiteration. Fite me!
More bionis shoulder videos please

I was thinking the entire time that Linada would make a good new party member especially since she got such a distinct design for the relatively small role she plays in the plot. Vanea is the next most likely but she's probably too powerful in-universe to ride around with the heroes, both in terms of abilities and authority.
Pneuma was a thing in 2, and she is supposedly God-tier as well. So, that's no reason. And Zeke was a Prince, so.. yeah.
Vanea, Linada, and Tyrea are both the best and most realistic options. Let’s be real, everyone else on this list is just there to bring the total to 10. I really can’t say which of those three I would prefer though. I don’t expect there to be more than one new party member, so it’s either-or, as far as I’m concerned. We need a Machina rep, and we need a healer, but Tyrea is just too good of a character choice compared to the other ones...
As a side note, I can see there being some NG+ exclusive stuff in this regard. Maybe a permenent (albeit limited) Mumkhar, Dickson, and Alvis, and Fiorneth with her Monodo. Not expecting too many curveballs there though.
Vanea I'm completely down for but I really don't want Mumkhar or Gadolt to be playable ngl
If we do get a new one Vanea is definitely most likely I think
Dude what if in new game plus you could play as Angel Zanza, which is pretty much Shulk 2
I could see Mumkhar being a Bonus boss.
I want Vangarre as a playable character. I don't care about all the point showed in this video, I just want to play as him.
His true name was Vandham not “Vangarre”. That one was a dumb localization change by Nintendo of Europe. Thankfully the other Vandham didn't get their name changed again.
interesting idea for a video
I... actually completely agree with everything said here.
MANLET, YOU'RE DOING IT WRONG!
Linada or Tyrea are my top hopes. I liked Linada and thought there could be a lot of character potential in her, and Tyrea just fits.
I hope they add 1-3 more party members for base then in NG+ all temporary members get added in forever
I really hope they put Juju in XCDE. Imagine a ranged attack based and a high damage dealer.
I need a machina party member that isn't a special case like you all know who. Offtopic but I would also like to see more areas on the mechonis become explorable.
I feel like Rex will be a dlc character just as shulk was for xbc2
Tyrea was important in future connected but not playable
Unless they do future DLC for DE, unfortunately none of these happened. Honestly, I'd enjoy any of these if only to get to know the characters better.
Now, speculation for a sequel in the XC1 world could have any of these show up (except probably Meyneth), even if it would be a huge stretch for some of them. I'd love to be able to explore the new planet they're on, particularly the ruins of the Mechonis-where maybe you could find a deactivated Egil that Linada could repair, for example.
For ng+, it story elements should not limit who could be party members. U already saw the whole story, so adding a new party member that technically wouldn't make sense doesn't really matter. Also, why would the story need to change in order to accommodate the new members?
No Alvis? :(
15:09 Nice YTP reference
Better list: Mario, Link, Donkey Kong, Bowser, Ganon, Captain Falcon, Pikmon, Bowsette, Ash, Goku
Probably mostly Goku, he deserves it the most since he missed out on Smash.
In fact, adding the whole Smash Roster and Goku would make the game a MUST purchase.
I would honestly love if they added more to the story itself. Main story is perfect as it is but more things that are not huge lore changers would be great addition
The left shoulder has interesting potential for that. It was the intended way to get to eryth sea. They can just make it postgame though...
I'm definitely getting this game! I am hoping one of these characters will be added to Smash Bros.
