I cut it real close, but I did it. And now I can go back to regular videos again!🥳 Edit: Shoutout to @Flutterdark_ for suggesting I chapter the video to make it easier to navigate.
Xenoblade Chronicles 2 has been and still is one of my favorite video games of all time. For better or worse. And I’m glad to be a part of the Xenoblade community.
I should mention that at the game’s launch in December 2017, you couldn’t skip the voice lines in menus so every time you send Ursula out on one of her missions you’d have to hear her say “We are Ursula’s New Groove… and we’ll do what we can.” Every. Single. Time. I salute you for actually going through it all for the content. Thanks for all the work you put into this video that’s basically a movie, I enjoyed it a lot! Looking forward to you starting Torna! Also it would be really cool to see you play Xenoblade X after 3, although it would probably be difficult to get a physical copy and a Wii U lol
Bro whoever made Ursula's quest had it out for us for REAL. That quest almost drove me crazy lol Thanks man I wish I got it out sooner. I'll see what I can do because I am interested in X.
@@DeiZeiga ursulas quest would work alot better if the game had a garunteed way to get her early. like have her be an early game sidequest reward like vess, only without needing her to die first. i got ursula very early in my playthrough, like so early merc missions just unlocked. so i could run the merc mission while i was doing my job and then use all the op blades i made in the plot.
I love Shulk and Fiora’s post battle dialogue with the gang Fiora connects with Poppi through her life as a Mechon Zeke challenges Shulk to think of someone more awesome than him Shulk bases Tora off Riki’s age, accidentally thinking Tora is old
@@DeiZeiga It just sucks that Elma didn't get that treatment. Mainly because she was a last minute addition to the dlc. So they didn't get the main cast to voice proper interactions with her. I guess to make up for this they gave her a special quest line where the XC2 party takes her on a tour around Alrest. You access it by following requirements on her skill tree. And it ends with all the Xeno protags at that point all talking together in a cute scene. Sorry Fei you're still stuck in Square Enix jail.
“We are ‘Ursula’s New Groove’! And we’ll do what we can!” This shall be engraved into every brave, yet poor soul. I have no regrets, hope you didn’t too
Elma Redux is probably the hardest fight in Xenoblade as a whole. That fight, on custom difficulty, with every odd stacked in my favor, and while abusing Zeke with Corvin (who has a spammable invincibility art) still took me 48 fucking minutes to get through!
4:19 Elma using her Soul Voices and signature Arts as Uncontrollable kicks in 7:41 A direct reference to Nagi coercing the MC into joining BLADE at the start of the game, where picking "no" puts you in a logic loop until you say "yes" On top of all the lore reveals in Elma's H2Hs that only people that read the Japan-only prequel light novel would know, and her having her own Overdrive mechanic that switches boss music from Uncontrollable to Wir Fliegen. And there's """"people"""" out there that say Monolith doesn't care about X!
Feature length DieZiega? I'm up for it. Yeah, I totally custom difficultied my way to Elma so I could enjoy her throughout my game. And when I was grinding for costumes. "I'm pretty sure that 99 of each core crystal..." if only, man. If only. Wow, I didn't realize you can get T-elos before NG+! You just need to beat the game. I'm so hlad you appreciate Riki! Not enough people give him any love. Oh man, I forgot about those terrifying squiddish things in Tantal. I love your reaction to the Finch quest. Gpod work on them blade quests! Some are definitely rough... Lots of grest scenes, though. The way you talk about the kids in the game, you sound like you'll be a fine dad.
Elma redux ALONE justified custom difficulty. Mugging that Reeking Douglas for those crystals paid off big time. Thank God, they didn't lock her behind that so I could see her interact with Kos-Mos Rikki is loved on THIS channel
I cannot tell you how my heart *dropped* when you said you were doing Ursula’s quest last. That quest is the essence of the Simpson’s “do it for her”. You don’t want to fuckin do it but she’s too sweet to not pull through for. I’m excited for the next steps. Torna isn’t my favorite, but I know I’m weird like that. Xenoblade 3 though? That’s gonna rock your worldview and make you thank it for clocking you in the face.
NAH 3 HOURS!? That’s crazy I was expecting maybe close to an hour but THREE. I also something I find funny but maybe a bit stupid, the video length is the same amount as it would’ve taken for the Titanic to sink
Thank you for the perfectly timed birthday gift bro, I'll watch it tomorrow (as in after I wake up 'cause it's late rn) but I'm sure it's as great as the rest of your Xenoblade vids ᗜˬᗜ
God damnit, I was about to go to sleep! That said, glad to see you're done with Base XC2, its one helluva ride, and one you and I will remember fondly.
i think finch may have been a few tirkin's blades remember anyone can awaken a blade remember wulfric and previous drivers influence a blade's appearance and personality meaning it's likely that being awakened by tirkins primarily caused her to be severely bird brained
This ain't a supercut, this is a whole movie duology! A friggin' two-in-one! Not that I'm complaining. I would rather watch this "movie" than go any theater and watch those lmao. Looking forward to your next playthrough.🙂
21:46 I guarantee you that’s a Final Fantasy 10 reference. That’s the signature move of the main character, Tidus. Also, glad to see the update bro, watching your content is something I always look forward to and I can’t wait for you to play Torna. Most people agree it’s better than the main game lol
There is one last thing I was missing in here because it’s arguably the absolute coolest stuff before Xenoblade 3 was a thing and that is the talk of all the Xeno Protags. I don’t remember how exactly it is triggered, I recall it being part of Elmas Skill Unlocks, but I’m not 100% certain. Seeing Elma, Rex, Shulk and co talk in spots of Alrest about stuff. Besides being able to use them in combat, these are the reason why I wanted them outside of the Land of Challenge.
@@FireFury190ok jup then I remembered right. Can’t believe Xeno 2 was so long ago already that I almost forgot how it worked… You know but I remember one thing clearly: I know exactly when the Elma Trailer dropped cause I was at Gamescom sitting in a line to play Smash Ultimate that I saw the trailer being uploaded and watched it there then. I remember being very excited and the fact I wasn’t the only one but some people in the line celebrated with me about it was very cool
1:30:48 "The Thanatobeast... was never able to go back to Earth. Becoming a lifeform between organic and mineral, it wandered for eternity into the endless void known as 'space'. Being unable to die even though it wished for it, the Thanatobeast eventually stopped thinking."
Brotha. It has been a fun ride watching you play one of my most recent AND favourite games ever, and you know the views each episode gets agree. I came across your playthru when you were around chapter 4. A little confused with your titling as they sounded clickbaitey, but i’m glad i gave you a chance. I feel everyone in the Xenoblade community gets excited when someone new wanders into the game. I know the road isn’t over yet, as you still have Torna to do. And hopefully you play Xenoblade 3. But thanks man. Thanks for enjoying this game
I typically don't get emotional but comments like this gets me choked up ngl. Thanks for being here and being on the ride and hopefully more on the way.🤝
33:45 First of all, i've had that last name all my life and I still don't know how to pronunce it myself. Secondly, you did do that fight, it was the Elma one, I just didn't wanna spoil it so I was vague about it, apologies for any wasted time.
I'm expecting a royalty check every time you pronounce it the way that I did. Oh thank god I thought I missed it. It's cool I appreciate you keeping it vague to leave a surprise👍
Glad i have the afternoon off to watch this xD Also glad to have been here for your journey day 1 to give tips in the comments and Elma is from Xenoblade X for the wii U (btw im pretty sure once i got fiora fully built she just shredded everything i ever came across she is a god damn demon)
@@NimbleFire I picked a good time to finally release it then👍 and seriously thanks for all the tips. And fax Fiora is a beast here just like she was in 1
T-el0s is from xenosaga and unlike k-omos she has the higest odds of pulling. but is only available after being the game, even if you start a new game on that profile.
@@DeiZeigajust got to 33:52 and i’m getting all giddy. Thanks for doing that too. I knew you’d be happy seeing Chadapon Papa Riki Thanks man for that community post asking us what we’d like to see
This video was so painful to watch, knowing that you'd do Ursula's quest last and not knowing what type of "difficulty" it brings. Congrats on finishing base 2, and I'll look forward to seeing Torna! Also, NG+ carries most important things like blades, affinity charts, accessories, etc. The main things it does not carry over are containers, merc missions, and quests. Thankfully, there is no need to do blade quests all over again if you fully completed them and got the affinity chart reward for it. Lastly, this and Torna are the only Xenoblade game on Switch where your NG+ save overwrites your current save (same goes with New Game).
the reason Ursula isn't afraid of beary is because it's a part of her, just like your hand is part of you. speaking of hands, if you pay close attention to the knuckle weapon her driver uses when she's active you see a pair of bear claws, that's because you literally wear beary during battle.
So yeah, Monopon is the Nopon in charge of Monolith Soft's Twitter account (which is only in Japanese, hence why you probably never heard of her). That yearly Heropon challenge has you beat literally every major Nopon NPC OF THE ENTIRE XENOBLADE SERIES SO FAR, including Riki and Bana from Xenoblade 1, Tatsu from Xenoblade X and Monopon from Twitter, meaning at least of Xenoblade 2 (I can think of SOMEONE from 3 that could have a shot at the title), Tora is canonically the strongest Nopon in the Xenoblade multiverse.
Forgive me if someone has already told you, but Xenoblade Chronicles X's composer is Hiroyuki Sawano, best known for the OST for Attack on Titan. You heard a bit of it during the fight with Elma, but I'm only 6 minutes into the video so you may have heard more later. The music for Xenoblade X is very different from the rest of the series, but is super unique and powerful. Would highly recommend checking it or the game itself out someday.
@DeiZeiga X being locked on the wii U means it has the lowest playerbase. Combine that with how it also has the weakest story and characters (though some of the best side quests, exploration, and by far the most customization), and it just kind of ends up on the sidelines of the series. As I recall, it also sees little chance of getting ported due to the way some of its systems were integrated into the wii U's gamepad.
To provide a little extra context: Elma is the central character of Xenoblade X (The protagonist being a customizable self-insert more akin to a typical MMORPG). I highly recommend checking out X after 3, it trades off a much weaker main story for a huge open world with loads of side stories and world building, plus you get to fly mechs (also the OST is entirely composed by Hiroyuki Sawano, if you're familiar with that name :). X mostly just gets small references throughout 2 and 3, so skipping it until last is totally fine, especially given its on a completely different console. As for Elma in 2, she brings over X's Unique Monster theme "Uncontrollable", as well as the Overdrive theme "Wir Fliegen", alongside enabling the use of a (slightly modified version of) Overdrive despite the completely different combat system. "This Year's Heropon" sees you fight more or less every named nopon in the entire series released at that point, including Tatsu from X and Riki from 1. Monopon, the final nopon, is a personification of Monolithsoft (Mono[lith]-pon) and the face of the JP Twitter account. In regards to NG+, the main things you get are: - Traders that accept excess bonus EXP in exchange for rare things like overdrive protocols, as well as Poppiswap parts and ether shards so you don't have to grind Tiger! Tiger! - All drivers get a second skill tree with minor bonuses, except Zeke who gets access to the actual Eye of Shining Justice itself (I wont spoil what it does here :). - The NG+ blades, as you are aware (I also wont spoil who those are), however if I recall correctly you would have to re-beat the entire story (or thereabouts) to unlock them. And on a final note, this game's combat is *broken* broken, the damage cap is so low at only 999,999 that at least half the blades in the game can hit it easily, literally every enemy on Hard or below can be killed in one chain attack easily with even only a medium amount of optimization and grinding. Though that's kind of the rule in this series, not the exception, X and 3 are also absurdly broken (you can kill EVERY ENEMY in X in one art (even the one with 100M HP) and you can beat every challenge mode stage in 3 in under two seconds real time, iirc). So glad you enjoyed one of my favourite games of all time, and I cant wait for Torna and beyond :)
a thing that can help with supercuts like this is use the youtube chapters. its basically timestamps embedded in the video. it can help in videos that already have some structure so people can jump back to where they were since yt only remembers how far you are if your link doesnt have a timestamp in it.
Yeah everything thing from blades Blades affinity as well as levels. Literally in the beginning of New Game+ You can use Pneuma with an actual level 4. Yeah in new game + Pneuma has a level 4 Combo art and it's flashy as hell and the Animation absolutely goes hard.
@@DeiZeiga Really looking forward to you checking out Torna. Personally, I think it's the best combat mechanics in the entire series. Some say the first game is, but for me, it's all about Torna.
1:11:18 Actually you can find out earlier than Floren is a boy if you put them on blade quests that require men. You’ll notice he isn’t crossed out when you’re assigning blades to those kids of quests. 1:15:13 Fun fact. The name Bloody Lobster is reference to a terrorist in Xenoblade X from an infamous side quest where you need to find lobsters around the city that are set to explode.
I was thinking about this but it would be cool if the tiger tiger game version of xc3 was Tetris. That would probably be more enjoyable but I doubt that is the actual game they put in the game.
you starting ursala's quest last...is maybe the biggest mistake you've made this whole play-through. the comments should of told you to start it as soon as possible.
1:01:45 wait ok “stab me in the back” saying comes from the Roman empire when I think it was Julius who got physically backstabbed by his “friends” and it later became a saying. So what I’m trying to get at here is the Roman Empire or something similar existed in the xenoblade 2 universe.
Elma is basically the protagonist of Xenoblade Chronicles X. I say basically, because X also has a player avatar „Cross“ as the point of view character. The premise of X is about a colony ship trying to survive on the planet Mira, after escaping the destruction of Earth. As of now, it doesn‘t seem to be related to the other Xenoblade games, the circumstances of Earths destruction are just too different. You got Ursula in postgame, my condolences. (Her sidequest takes hours of merc missions, better not start it, before new game+, if you ever do that.).
1:07:00 I realized two things in this scene 1) the guy’s name being durro is is the Spanish word “difficult” (also something else to mention, I’m pretty sure Malos’ name means “We evil” in Spanish) and 2) intel chip cause he said intel”
I absolutely hate Merc Missions for spoiling Floren’s blade quest for me! I knew Merc Missions were a great way to grind blade’s affinity charts especially for 4 star common blades for overdrive protocols. I remember a mission needed at least a full team of female blades and i’m confused going. “Why isn’t Floren counting? Waaaaaaait…” … (plays blade quest, “You’ve got to be kidding me”
2:18:46 To be fair, Rex more wanted to understand where the villains were coming from first instead of just killing them because they opposed each other, which requires some leniency in finishing them off. And when push did come to shove, he did kill Malos, and most likely would have done the same for Jin and Almalthus if they didn't double-kill each other. Hell, I don't think he ever voiced any concerns about killing Almalthus, so Rex being more ok with (indirectly) finishing off his goons isn't too farfetched.
XC2 is a precious game… except the gacha. That mechanic can get sent to the Shadow Realm! And those vile, disgusting, (occasionally funny) feathered-brained tirkins!
Monopon is the official mascot of Monolithsoft. Her introduction in the battle includes her claiming to be the "only Nopon employee of Monolithsoft." At last, I get confirmation that you didn't get him and I just didn't notice. Finally I get to see you react to ma boi! Huh? "him" and "boi" imply it's a male Blade, but you only got female ones? Au contraire; there is an trap among them. Fun fact: there's a post-battle line where Floren actually causes Sheba some gay panic. I think the mineral Agate finds and names after herself is implied to _actually be agate,_ and due to how Alrest and Blades work, Agate would've been named by the Trinity Processor after the actual mineral, which she then finds and names after herself. So indirectly, the rock is named after itself. "Is [Ursula] a ghost?" She's a Blade. Best not to think about a Blade's anatomy, for your own sanity.
I cut it real close, but I did it. And now I can go back to regular videos again!🥳
Edit: Shoutout to @Flutterdark_ for suggesting I chapter the video to make it easier to navigate.
I hope so, I'm sure you got some folks out here waiting like kid who's dad went out for milk😭😂
Watch people in different time zones still say it's late

This video was so painful to watch, knowing that you'd do Ursula's quest last and not knowing what type of "difficulty" it brings. Congrats on finishing base 2, and I'll look forward to seeing Torna!
Also, NG+ carries most important things like blades, affinity charts, accessories, etc. The main things it does not carry over are containers, merc missions, and quests. Thankfully, there is no need to do blade quests all over again if you fully completed them and got the affinity chart reward for it. Lastly, this and Torna are the only Xenoblade game on Switch where your NG+ save overwrites your current save (same goes with New Game).
It's out, hell yeah! Love your vids!
the reason Ursula isn't afraid of beary is because it's a part of her, just like your hand is part of you. speaking of hands, if you pay close attention to the knuckle weapon her driver uses when she's active you see a pair of bear claws, that's because you literally wear beary during battle.
ya did it!!
Finally, this video's been tormenting me for a whole ass month I'm glad it's finally done now.
Mythra is almost always the GOAT
That "almost" just cost you a heart buddy
So yeah, Monopon is the Nopon in charge of Monolith Soft's Twitter account (which is only in Japanese, hence why you probably never heard of her). That yearly Heropon challenge has you beat literally every major Nopon NPC OF THE ENTIRE XENOBLADE SERIES SO FAR, including Riki and Bana from Xenoblade 1, Tatsu from Xenoblade X and Monopon from Twitter, meaning at least of Xenoblade 2 (I can think of SOMEONE from 3 that could have a shot at the title), Tora is canonically the strongest Nopon in the Xenoblade multiverse.
Forgive me if someone has already told you, but Xenoblade Chronicles X's composer is Hiroyuki Sawano, best known for the OST for Attack on Titan. You heard a bit of it during the fight with Elma, but I'm only 6 minutes into the video so you may have heard more later. The music for Xenoblade X is very different from the rest of the series, but is super unique and powerful. Would highly recommend checking it or the game itself out someday.
Eyyy it's my girl Elma in the thumbnail, most acknowledgement she and Xenoblade x have gotten in years
She fit the thumbnail perfectly. And I wonder why X gets treated the way it does.
@DeiZeiga X being locked on the wii U means it has the lowest playerbase. Combine that with how it also has the weakest story and characters (though some of the best side quests, exploration, and by far the most customization), and it just kind of ends up on the sidelines of the series. As I recall, it also sees little chance of getting ported due to the way some of its systems were integrated into the wii U's gamepad.
What do you mean she was in the Monolithsoft 25th anniversary video
Oh there goes the rest of my evening (I wouldn’t have it any other way!)
To provide a little extra context:
Elma is the central character of Xenoblade X (The protagonist being a customizable self-insert more akin to a typical MMORPG). I highly recommend checking out X after 3, it trades off a much weaker main story for a huge open world with loads of side stories and world building, plus you get to fly mechs (also the OST is entirely composed by Hiroyuki Sawano, if you're familiar with that name :). X mostly just gets small references throughout 2 and 3, so skipping it until last is totally fine, especially given its on a completely different console. As for Elma in 2, she brings over X's Unique Monster theme "Uncontrollable", as well as the Overdrive theme "Wir Fliegen", alongside enabling the use of a (slightly modified version of) Overdrive despite the completely different combat system.
"This Year's Heropon" sees you fight more or less every named nopon in the entire series released at that point, including Tatsu from X and Riki from 1. Monopon, the final nopon, is a personification of Monolithsoft (Mono[lith]-pon) and the face of the JP Twitter account.
In regards to NG+, the main things you get are:
- Traders that accept excess bonus EXP in exchange for rare things like overdrive protocols, as well as Poppiswap parts and ether shards so you don't have to grind Tiger! Tiger!
- All drivers get a second skill tree with minor bonuses, except Zeke who gets access to the actual Eye of Shining Justice itself (I wont spoil what it does here :).
- The NG+ blades, as you are aware (I also wont spoil who those are), however if I recall correctly you would have to re-beat the entire story (or thereabouts) to unlock them.
And on a final note, this game's combat is *broken* broken, the damage cap is so low at only 999,999 that at least half the blades in the game can hit it easily, literally every enemy on Hard or below can be killed in one chain attack easily with even only a medium amount of optimization and grinding. Though that's kind of the rule in this series, not the exception, X and 3 are also absurdly broken (you can kill EVERY ENEMY in X in one art (even the one with 100M HP) and you can beat every challenge mode stage in 3 in under two seconds real time, iirc).
So glad you enjoyed one of my favourite games of all time, and I cant wait for Torna and beyond :)
Great architect he made a movie!!!!!
Ya dam right
finch was definitely awakened by a tirkin at first
Oh hell yeah, we eating good boys
The gacha grind is real. I put something like 300 hours (!) into a run, of which Dahlia (not KOS-MOS!) was my last.
13:21 fun fact created by the same pwrson who made dallia and is a woman
Based woman she knows what's up
Almost 3 hours of peak? Lesgo
Hell yea
HE LIVES
a thing that can help with supercuts like this is use the youtube chapters.
its basically timestamps embedded in the video. it can help in videos that already have some structure so people can jump back to where they were since yt only remembers how far you are if your link doesnt have a timestamp in it.
Good point.
Gotchu dude, thanks for reminding me!
Yeah everything thing from blades Blades affinity as well as levels.
Literally in the beginning of New Game+ You can use Pneuma with an actual level 4.
Yeah in new game + Pneuma has a level 4 Combo art and it's flashy as hell and the Animation absolutely goes hard.
oh? you did Ursulas quest?willingly? welcome to the club hahahahahahhahahahaha.
I would have happily watched a bunch of videos, tbh. Been wondering where you've been.
Good thing about this mammoth sized video is that almost every video after this should be light work to me now.
@@DeiZeiga Really looking forward to you checking out Torna. Personally, I think it's the best combat mechanics in the entire series. Some say the first game is, but for me, it's all about Torna.
Will you be moving to Torna next? I’m very excited for your future uploads! Keep up the good work!! 😮👍
Torna is next👌
I'll watch this video slowly in the days, but I'm sure it'll be a banger.
Edit: I'm really looking forward to Torna (and eventually XC3)
Understandable it's a pretty big vid lol
1:11:18 Actually you can find out earlier than Floren is a boy if you put them on blade quests that require men. You’ll notice he isn’t crossed out when you’re assigning blades to those kids of quests.
1:15:13 Fun fact. The name Bloody Lobster is reference to a terrorist in Xenoblade X from an infamous side quest where you need to find lobsters around the city that are set to explode.
silence important thing to do! DeiZeiga xenoblade 2 sidequests supercut is talking.
😂
I was thinking about this but it would be cool if the tiger tiger game version of xc3 was Tetris. That would probably be more enjoyable but I doubt that is the actual game they put in the game.
Time to play through Xenoblade Chronicles X!
1:32:07 “nah he’s just tired” -haminations
you starting ursala's quest last...is maybe the biggest mistake you've made this whole play-through. the comments should of told you to start it as soon as possible.
@@eclipsedarksouls6036 I would’ve started it immediately if I knew what I was in for🫠
This man cooked
17:28 Based Shadow Of The Colossus OST enjoyer
That game's ost is just 🧑🍳💋
1:08:02 I’m sorry but “Nia” like come on we really gonna forget magic dps healer cat. Also that’s what I like to call Nia cause its really funny 😂
vandahm actually did have a son before he became a merc but he passed away
Oh, dam that's sad
1:01:45 wait ok “stab me in the back” saying comes from the Roman empire when I think it was Julius who got physically backstabbed by his “friends” and it later became a saying. So what I’m trying to get at here is the Roman Empire or something similar existed in the xenoblade 2 universe.
yayyy youre back i was getting worried
2 hours…..who needs sleep anyways? 😂
Sleep is overrated.
@@DeiZeiga lmao seems like it
16:53 the funny thing is even if nia had her and she was as strong as possible she still wouldnt hold any aggro
I see, thanks for letting me know.
Elma is basically the protagonist of Xenoblade Chronicles X. I say basically, because X also has a player avatar „Cross“ as the point of view character. The premise of X is about a colony ship trying to survive on the planet Mira, after escaping the destruction of Earth. As of now, it doesn‘t seem to be related to the other Xenoblade games, the circumstances of Earths destruction are just too different.
You got Ursula in postgame, my condolences. (Her sidequest takes hours of merc missions, better not start it, before new game+, if you ever do that.).
Now finished the video, again, you actually did her quest, again my condolences.
1:07:00 I realized two things in this scene 1) the guy’s name being durro is is the Spanish word “difficult” (also something else to mention, I’m pretty sure Malos’ name means “We evil” in Spanish) and 2) intel chip cause he said intel”
I absolutely hate Merc Missions for spoiling Floren’s blade quest for me! I knew Merc Missions were a great way to grind blade’s affinity charts especially for 4 star common blades for overdrive protocols.
I remember a mission needed at least a full team of female blades and i’m confused going. “Why isn’t Floren counting? Waaaaaaait…” … (plays blade quest, “You’ve got to be kidding me”
I never paid attention to the requirements, so it wasn't spoiled for me lol
Fun fact: Elma isn't even the MC in X 😅
And "Uncontrollable" is such a, great battle theme.
Now that I think about it Tom and Jerry would be more realistic in xenoblade 2 cause of Gorrmott
2:18:46 To be fair, Rex more wanted to understand where the villains were coming from first instead of just killing them because they opposed each other, which requires some leniency in finishing them off. And when push did come to shove, he did kill Malos, and most likely would have done the same for Jin and Almalthus if they didn't double-kill each other. Hell, I don't think he ever voiced any concerns about killing Almalthus, so Rex being more ok with (indirectly) finishing off his goons isn't too farfetched.
i love ursulas quest, but doing it late game SUUUUUUUUUUUCKS
For REAL
2:14:14 this right there is why some blades are just better on certain people, well that and the art selection
1:00:50 fun fact same va as boreas and brighid
These VA's got RANGE
12:25 yeah t-elos has a 5 when kos-mos is .001
This should interesting lol
5:36 people will see how long the tries took
34:01 hey im there too 🎉
🎉Yep you guys were essential for putting this video together
Good Stuff
4:02 I was thinking about this the other day but do Pyra and Mythra look “thicker” in the swimsuits or is it just me.
I think they are, Pyra looks WAY more cheeked up in her swimsuit outfit and Mythra's chest looks bigger in hers.
@@DeiZeigaI was thinking the same thing too. I swear the devs changed some numbers to make them look like that.
XC2 is a precious game… except the gacha. That mechanic can get sent to the Shadow Realm! And those vile, disgusting, (occasionally funny) feathered-brained tirkins!
Monopon is the official mascot of Monolithsoft. Her introduction in the battle includes her claiming to be the "only Nopon employee of Monolithsoft."
At last, I get confirmation that you didn't get him and I just didn't notice. Finally I get to see you react to ma boi! Huh? "him" and "boi" imply it's a male Blade, but you only got female ones? Au contraire; there is an trap among them.
Fun fact: there's a post-battle line where Floren actually causes Sheba some gay panic.
I think the mineral Agate finds and names after herself is implied to _actually be agate,_ and due to how Alrest and Blades work, Agate would've been named by the Trinity Processor after the actual mineral, which she then finds and names after herself. So indirectly, the rock is named after itself.
"Is [Ursula] a ghost?" She's a Blade. Best not to think about a Blade's anatomy, for your own sanity.
