Nia, through a series of uncontrollable sobs: "And then... and then he said he loves 'all you guys', he friendzoned right then and there, after I spent so long building up the courage to say it..." Melia, casually sipping tea: "Can't imagine how that feels."
XC1 and XC2 have a lot of counterparts. Nia and Melia are both counterparts in the sense that they're both girls with animal features, are human-hybrids that can live longer lives than normal humans (Melia, being a High Entia-homs hybrid, Nia, being a Blade-human hybrid), both came from well off backgrounds whose families die at some point (Melia, during the story, Nia, before the story), and fall for the main character who likes someone else. So Nia is more like Melia than people give credit for.
@@Gravity_cat but lets be honest if it would have been different everyone would say the same for Fiora or Pyra right? so there is not a choice that would satisfy all fans...
3 lovers and 3 children alike and they were all so happy. It’s amazing there’s no word for it. Nia and Rex’s child was truly incredible. I bet you know who it was I do.
Is this going to be like Zelda, how in every game there is always a Link and Zelda, and running themes amongst these characters.... Poor Melia, Poor Nia..., if Shulk and Rex won’t love them, I WILL!
I feel bad for Nia but Melia had it worse. At least, in this case, Rex was fairly confident his love interest was still alive and Nia had actually met her before. Melia had to constantly hear about a girl she never met that Shulk was still smitten over even though he'd already witnessed her die (sure she ended up alive in the end but there was no way of knowing that at the time and honestly having her come back after being presumed dead just made it worse for Melia).
What i hate about Melia being friendzoned vs Nia is that Melia's adds literally nothing to the plot. I think 1's females are poorly written, but Melia has it the roughest. She gets zero conclusions to her arcs, and the story beats with her are just "hey guys, Melia's life sucks." The friendzone is needlessly cruel and comes off comically bad. Nia's is brought up in battle and during those visions Rex had of his fears of how the crew felt. Rex was afraid Nia was hurt at how he has his eyes on Pyra, and Nia i think said she loved Rex purely as an impulsive thing. It isnt just to add onto misery, and even shows Rex knew what she meant, but wasnt sure how to respond.
Meh, never was a fan of Melia, and seeing as she may be a warmongerer in XC3 just solidifies my belief that she wasnt that good of a person to begin with.
I've had Xenoblade 2 since 2017 but only got around to finishing this game a few weeks ago, and I honestly cannot imagine seeing this scene without the context of what happens in Xenoblade 3 - which is like the only spoiler I actually know about that game. I actually adore how Rex goes "wha-" on the confession, while Nia goes "huh" when Rex returns it, they share the same braincell, it's the best.
"I fight for... my friends!" Rex is Ike's pupil confirmed xD. Okay but seriously, for everyone doing the Melia jokes, I've said it before, listen to Rex's and Nia's (as a blade) dialogue after a fight. He did get what she was saying, he just evaded the issue cause they had more important things to do, it wasn't a "I only see you as a friend" so much as it was a "let's talk about it later". Wether they do talk about it or not I guess it's up to you.
Geez, this video is still getting views? Is this going to be somthing iconic now? Oh man.... Anyway, for anyone who's curious about the quote I talked about here it is: ua-cam.com/video/TIS_pdplrnw/v-deo.html
KTVX.94 I don’t think it counts for her since she’s a blade. In fact if you look back at the cutscene of vandhams death you can see her thinking about transforming but she just decides not to.
And Pyra would have save Vandham if she awake Mythra a bit earlier or just transform straight into Pneuma. Kinda sucks that Vandham risks his own life while most of the team is just holding back.
As much as people clown on this scene for Rex friend-zoning Nia I still think their exchange is really sweet given Nia’s reaction. Especially considering that at the very beginning of the chapter Nia was pushing him down when he threw in the towel and felt weak and lesser. Rex’s morale boost and Nia’s comfort zone breakout in combination is so beautiful... Although I have to say I still laughed at how Rex phrased it.

This is not a friendzone. It is a literal statement.
WOOOOH
He played us all like a fiddle
How rex played an entire community of people for years is astonishing
Turns out when Rex said, "I love all you guys!" He was dead serious!
The man probably smashed everyone else too and I mean EVERYONE.
@@GradMeat lol, glad I’m not the only one that thought that. Just because they didn’t have a baby didn’t mean that they missed out on Rex’s love.
Noah got denied, Melia got perpetually friendzoned, and Rex... he got the meta-secret harem ending.
He didn’t make into smash brothers, so he smashed everyone instead.

EDIT: GIGACHAD REX MEANT EXACTLY WHAT HE SAID.
HeliosVenomMage64 Everyone keeps saying stuff about Melia, who is that
Joey Dagger she was a character in the first Xenoblade game that was very similar to Nia’s true from in appearance and abilities.
XC1 and XC2 have a lot of counterparts.
Nia and Melia are both counterparts in the sense that they're both girls with animal features, are human-hybrids that can live longer lives than normal humans (Melia, being a High Entia-homs hybrid, Nia, being a Blade-human hybrid), both came from well off backgrounds whose families die at some point (Melia, during the story, Nia, before the story), and fall for the main character who likes someone else.

That clears up some things. I didn't use her as a Blade because I needed a healer on the team so I missed that dialogue.
IchHassePasswoerter .Blackplant use her as your blade, and make rex the healer (well, healer-lite) she’s a FANTASTIC Blade

That moment where “that moment” jokes weren’t funny back in 2011 and they still aren’t funny now.
I'm sensing some salt. Maybe you should have a girl take her pants off and show you her blade. It tends to mellow you out.
