I honestly love how ridiculously over the top and anime these attacks are with the incredibly well done animations. My favorite one is Zeke and Pandoria’s level 4 special
Both of Rex/Pyra/Nia's (particularly their second one) specials and Rex/Pneuma's are my favorites. There's just something about the way they're animated and I love how Rex dual wields in the former's case.
"U-TENERITAS" Short for "Ultimum TENERITAS" "Azure III: Soulfire" Short for "Azure Striker, Form the Third: Soulfire" "Sonic Thunderslash" Short for "Supersonic Thunderbolt Slash"
Love how each driver got their own intro scene and battle music, and then XC1 and XCX each had their own segments even if the latter only had one blade. After finishing the blades from the main game, I couldn't help but think that one was missing. Felt so good to see her saved for the very end. That said, I somehow forgot the absolute last one somehow despite being the True Ultimate. I'm sad that one of Nia's combination specials is so much lamer than the other because it's the only one I ended up seeing because I ain't got time to switch to Pyra!
Yeah Xenoblade 2 is still the best Xenoblade when it comes to the animations and the quantity of them. The combat spectacle of Xenoblade 2 is simply INSANE
Ya know in theory you could’ve done the entire video with just Rex and saved a few minutes. I’m glad you didn’t. But you could’ve. Edit: How could I have forgotten about Poppi?
Finally a video of Kora's level four with Nia as the driver. I love how they have the same pose and I frankly can't imagine using Kora with anyone else.
A fun thing to note about blade designs in this game is that all the common and rare blades have visible ether lines, while legendary blades almost all have invisible ones (Poppi and Aegaeon being exceptions). This means that level 3 and 4 specials are the only place you can see the placement of most of the main blade characters' ether lines. Additionally, none of the blade characters in Torna ever have visible ether lines during specials, which is interesting lore-wise. I guess it is generally agreed that the modern blade-driver fighting style is stronger, maybe it's to do with that.
the only thing this is missing is roc's lvl 4 with vandham it would be a pain to play through chapter 3 to get him (especially since 2 doesn't have multiple saves), but the perfectionist in me can't help but notice
i think the only ng+ locked content is the torna blades and pnuema lv 4, all others are avaiible in first run if yur willing to grind the cores for them although t-elos is only avalible after main story completion

The first one of course you just have to have Nia as a Blade and use her level 4 The other two, you need to have Pyra engaged at the same time as Nia and have them *both* at Max Affinity during the battle. It's different depending on if you use Pyra's or Nia's level 4.
its pretty easy to miss that you can do this as the game only mentions it after the amalthus fight and if you continue through the door without back tracking the next segment removes both from your party for a few fights during the illusion segment so its easy to forget its a thing
From all that now to this lastly for Nia with Rex & Pyra/Mythra or him with Pneuma, Sniffs... 😢😄 Truly Awesome now Beautiful eventually... Best way to end it here for the presentation. XD
I diddnt know the main blades(brighid Dromach pandoria)had unique level 4s with rex since I mostly kept them on them the others while I used pyra/mythra azami and nia I diddnt know the team level 4 is different if you activate it on pyra
Completely disagree, Rex perfectly fits the role he was meant for in the game. He's a optimistic young kid, who doesn't see the world as nihilistically as everyone else around him. It fits the story really well. His outfit is also just really unique, it tells you a lot about the world he comes from and what he does for ta living. He could have just as easily had a generic anime protagonist outfit, but I think this helps him to stand out even if it is a little goofy.
No matter what you say. His outfit is pure garbage. Even the one Pneuma kits him in. No melee fighter in any situation would fight with head cauldron hanging from their neck. XBC2 was the most "anime" out of all of them.
@Rognar Tvedte The helmet isn't meant for battle, it's meant for salvaging. Contributes to reflecting his character more. I'm not gonna convince you, but you do you.

You actually missed one variation! Poor Vandham's level 4 with Roc was completely forgotten lol
I honestly love how ridiculously over the top and anime these attacks are with the incredibly well done animations. My favorite one is Zeke and Pandoria’s level 4 special
Especially with a catchphrase like “Welcome to Axe Town, population: Your face!”
I love how everyone has like a powerful beam of attack and then adinine just starts kick boxing the opponent
And they programmed all this even though most people aren't gonna see all these level 4s! So much attention to detail
I love the "Welcome to axe town. Population, your face!"
I'm not even sure if that was the original Japanese line or not, I feel like that was added in for fun because it fits his character
What I really like about XC2's cast of Blades is just how different each one's interpretation of their elemental attribute is.
I loved the presentation of this. I'd re-watch this just for the music compilation.
Thank you!! ❤️
Damn, it's almost a crime that it took youtube 2 years to recommend this to me.
You did such a great job with this dude, Bravo
Better late than never! Thanks!!
Me too lol. Only got recommended recently :/
This feels like an actual trailer. I wanna show it to my friends real bad, just gonna wait until they finish the game too!
Both of Rex/Pyra/Nia's (particularly their second one) specials and Rex/Pneuma's are my favorites. There's just something about the way they're animated and I love how Rex dual wields in the former's case.
Only one of the songs used for the compilation wasn't a battle theme... _at the time._ Then Xenoblade 3 happened.

Oh no, this video is outdated now, it doesn't have Noah and Inos Level IV blade special!
You did such a good job with the editing!!!
Truly one of the best videos I watched in a while!
Many thanks!!
Man I'm really late but this video is very excellent
You have rekindled my motivation to 100% XC2 ❤
7:07 Welcome to Axe Town, population your face.
You're about to get a taste of Samurai Ninja Bushido!!!
Super disappointing that Xenoblade 3 had no cool attacks like these.
I mean the animations in the chain attacks when you get 100% and above are sorta like this just a bit shorter.
@@thatonemanbehindthegarbage7126 And The Ouroboros forms attacks are pretty sick too
There are also the Talent Arts which are so much harder to see and I'd argue even cooler than most Chain Orders, and possibly even more powerful.
This comment aged well.
Love how each driver got their own intro scene and battle music, and then XC1 and XCX each had their own segments even if the latter only had one blade. After finishing the blades from the main game, I couldn't help but think that one was missing. Felt so good to see her saved for the very end. That said, I somehow forgot the absolute last one somehow despite being the True Ultimate.
I'm sad that one of Nia's combination specials is so much lamer than the other because it's the only one I ended up seeing because I ain't got time to switch to Pyra!
I just realised that Hugo's level 4 with Brigid is morag's normal art
Yeah Xenoblade 2 is still the best Xenoblade when it comes to the animations and the quantity of them. The combat spectacle of Xenoblade 2 is simply INSANE
I really feel like this needs more views
Oh wow I forgot Pneuma's level 4 special was called Infinity Blade.
Shoot, I just realized, Infinity Blade is word for word exactly like Noah’s version of it.

My favorite game of all time! Thanks so much man!
Tora is 20% attack, 80% gloating
Besides QTPi if outfitted right
Damn the editing was freaking good!
I love you, and all you guys
Irony of this single statement
The discord be like "omfg aj finally posted a vid"
11:49 I like how it looks like Brighid's dancing to the song lol
I love how Fiora's Butterfly Step is also her Talent Art from XC1, which makes sense as Specials are practically Talent Arts anywat
Damn there are a lot of blades
How many ancient sauros were harmed in the making of this video?
All of them :)
Ya know in theory you could’ve done the entire video with just Rex and saved a few minutes. I’m glad you didn’t. But you could’ve.
Edit: How could I have forgotten about Poppi?
I like how there are cutscenes that depict the level 4 specials (kinda?) in the game
Some say that Sauros is still getting tortured to this very day…
This is some top tier editing! Good stuff
Hey thanks!
Was gonna say the same thing tbh :)
Ay so you are alive. Nice to see so. Great job with the revised vid
13:18 YOU SEE? THIS IS OUR PATH TO THE FUTURE

oh shit i forgot pyra and nia had a double blade combo
It's deadass my favorite
Plus it's like the only double blade so that's why.

i think the only ng+ locked content is the torna blades and pnuema lv 4, all others are avaiible in first run if yur willing to grind the cores for them although t-elos is only avalible after main story completion
then there wouldn't be a + in the ng+

Ok i didn’t know that nia has 3 specials in blade form. How do you use the other two?
The first one of course you just have to have Nia as a Blade and use her level 4
The other two, you need to have Pyra engaged at the same time as Nia and have them *both* at Max Affinity during the battle. It's different depending on if you use Pyra's or Nia's level 4.
@@AJ_Sorrell ok, thanks. Sounds easy enough

shame theres no nia+mythra combo, you can still activate the nia+pyra on nia if mythras out but trying it while using mythra just does her solo lv 4

Man I can’t look at the dub anymore without laughing.

This game would of been 1000% better if Rex was not in it. Especially if his ugly helm hanging from his neck 72/7 was removable.

Not seeing any crying going on. But if it helps the other Xeno games are way better then this title.
