A couple more interesting things about 2’s Vandham:
-Vandham is not his birth name this time, he was actually born Urayan nobility and took the name of a folk hero when he left high society following the death of his son. Having a dead child explains a lot of his actions towards Rex, and he even says Poppi reminds him of his kid in battle dialog. I personally think that the idea of Vandham belonging to an important house may be revisited in a later incarnation in a future game.
-While he doesn’t have the prominent facial hair of his predecessors, his blade Roc does, having facial feathers mimicking Vangarre’s Waluigi stache.
-He starts out as an antagonist like the Gears and Saga versions, but is really just faking it so he can get a chance to fight the Aegis.
Cool. I didn’t know that one of lines he could say in battle
I think it's also cool to note that his sidekicks Yew and Zuo also make reoccurring appearances.
Biggs and Wedge 2

40 seconds-I DON'T WANT ANY EXCUSES! CHAMPIONS DON'T WHINE! THEY DINE, WITH WINE!
But sir! It’s impossible to get back to the colony in 40 seconds!
@@shantaehalf-geniehero4318 YOU'RE A BICEP!
YOU’RE ALL DAMN GOOD CHAMPIONS
MOO!
We can’t moo, sir.
@@lukedelameter7961 WHAT?! You better give a damn good reason why!
This is a great video and all, but I think Derrick could have waited a bit longer until he had reached chapter 5 or even 6 of Xenoblade 3. Without throwing spoilers here, we who have played the game all know how the vandham name will come back and I think having reached that part of the game would have been beneficial to this kind of video.
I'll just leave it at that.
Yeah I agree. Vandham’s appearance in Xenoblade 3 is by far the most fascinating of the series and is also kind of the reason and pay off of all of these recurring characters and such.
@@morksisnthererightnow8738 Yeah but also the fact that SPOILERS
that there is more than 1 Vandham, namely 3. And the two ladder Vandhams are both females marking as the first female Vandhams
*Reads half of comment, immediately saves video for later watching*
Thank you
Spoilers.
Gee Threenoblade, how come Takahashi lets you have 3 Vandhams?
I will have my heart out to Vandham in XenoBlade X such a great guy....truly
Vandham from X is my favorite and I'll never understand why they chose that other dude as a playable character and not him... even though I still like him
@@kreachernintendo667
I know who your talking about and that guy a badazz
I like the guy but is he a great guy?….
Spoilers
Isn’t he partially responsible for covering up that only the rich and elite were the only ones able to get on the white whale? After learning that at the end of chapter 11 I can’t look at Elma vandham or nagi the same way
I kinda feel like Monica was the Vandham with a bigger role in XB3’s story than her father.
Yeah, and he probably could waited till chapter 5/6 to talk about that.
Monica was this games version of Cindy from ff15 only done much better
@@metroidcypher Nah that would be Ghondor
the pain of hearing someone else talk about a sequel to X, knowing it'll probably never happen
Maybe Vandahm was the Xenoblade and we just Chronicles his journey all along
CRASHING THE MOBILE ARTILLERY INTO A HOUSE? HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN IN THE FORCE!?
40 seconds-
Four Seconds?
I like the evolution of Vanderkaum starting off as an antagonist then gradually morphing into someone that helps the heroes in Vandam
Really hope we get a Xeno 3 discussion part 2 when Ash and Derrick both finish the game. Would love to hear their overall impressions too.
There’s also the Nopon in every Xenoblade game kinda like how Chocobos are in almost every Final Fantasy game
I haven't done ALL the side quests but does 3 also have a Bana?
@@krasherom I haven’t noticed a Bana in XC3 yet. There might be one in the game but I haven’t come across it
My first Vandham would be Vanderkaum from Sage Episode 2...though I don't remember him all that well. Lots of things going on in that game that overshadowed him in my memories 😅
interesting vis. did not think a character like xandham would be cid for these games. I personally thought each interaction of the xeno series were completely separate with no connective tissue. the more you know.
there's a similar idea with dunban, who stemmed from jin uzuki from xenosaga, who he himself stemmed from citan uzuki from xenogears
Favorite Vandham for me is either the one from 2, or from X
My first Vandham would be xb1's, but 2's left a really big impression on me, just like the rest of the game
I also really like xb3's for the short moment we meet him
I want Vandham: Into the Muktiverse
All vandhams work together
First was the original Vanderkaum in Xenogears. Still have yet to play the Xenosaga trilogy or Xenoblade.
I love that his pompadour has jiggle physics. I hope all future Vandhams have a prominent pomp.
There might be another allusion to him being the Xeno-universe's version of Cid, as he's at least the 4th Vandham since the studio aligned themselves with Nintendo, and the Cid from Final Fantasy 4 (the 4th Final Fantasy game made for Nintendo consoles, if we don't count the SaGa or Mana renaming) sports a very prominent mask that covers most of his face, and has prominent facial hair to boot.
The nopons are like the moogles of the Final Fantasy series
You forgot to mention roc, his blade, has the big signature mustache
Only real ones remember the original thumbnail of this.
I recall noticind the connection emidiatly when i met the X version of him, it went as far as me thinking Vandham was his actual name in 1. A similar character exists in pokemon, Sailor Huey!
I was soo hyped when xc2 made vandam playeble
I hope the Vandham archetype won't turn into a kind-off meme in the series for a character who will apear and die for the character development of someone else, like most FE-Dads or Leomon from Digimon.
Seeing that not every vandham has died, it's possible this won't happen
Don't think so, if you consider SPOILER.
Xenoblade got a Biggs and Wedge too, in the form of Zuo and Yew.
X Vandham is best Vandham.
Damn didnt even catch the link of the character in XBC and X before this.
As always pour one out for XBCX. Some of the best open world traversal and exploration on any game. Its really hard to go back to XBC’s shitty stilted jump animation lol
sobs in XC2 chapter 3
0:35 you think you can just show me that scene knowing that I know how it ends???
X's vandam >>>>>>>
wait till they talk about Big Joe...
Anyone asking for a Xenoblade X sequel (and not a port) gets my like.
I kinda like the name "Vangarre" a bit better than Vandham. And the square-tache nickname too. I just hope either one of those (if not both) make a return.
Wasn’t Vangarre renamed Vandamme in Definite Edition?
like patches in fromsoftware games
😆
Remember when Cid tied every FF game together?
Not Cid but Gilgamesh certainly ties them making the franchise a multiverse.
@@theLikou1 is gilgamesh in 7?
@@krasherom Not... yet.
Why didnt Derrick mention Monica and Ghondor?
@Lucas The Phantom Thief no they're not. Xenoblade 3's incarnation of Vandham is that it's a surename. Even Guernica is not Vandham's first name as previously. I get what you mean though, but Xenoblade 3 has 3 Vandhams and I think it's weird Derrick left that out.
He's not that far in XC3 yet. As far as I know he hasn't played far enough to know anything about SPOILERS:
The city and House Vandham
He says he's not far into the game. He probably haven't met them yet.
He probably hasn't met them. I'd delete the comment if I were the OP not to spoil Derrick who is still early in the game
Because he hasn't gotten that far into the game.
I don't know why he keeps popping up. Whether Monoloth wants their own Cid or Impa, or they just like the references to past games and real life actors. Surprised Xenosaga never had their own version. But 2's Vandham and Geurnica are my favorites. I love the gritty and gruff larger than life posturing Simon Thorpe gives him.
Watch the video, dude. There is one in Xenosaga.
Um...There is one.
daddy vandham is best vandham!
@@manuelalbertoromero9528 In Saga or Gears?
@@theLikou1 Saga or Gears
Started with Xenogears but I kinda do not like the character because when you have played two or more Xeno games the fate of the character by name becomes predictable with only a few exceptions.
I loved XC2 and XC3, but really disliked Vandham in 2. Couldn’t really care for him in 3 either :-).
