@@rodrigoalvarado9882 future awaits, it’s the end credits song of Xenoblade Chronicles 3’s dlc future redeemed. Song is very meaningful in how it’s picked as it uses instruments from all 3 Xenoblade games and Xenosaga, while using the singer who sung songs from Xenosaga
They using the XC2 Elma model knowing fully well they have a new one in the drafts for using a few weeks later, we would've exploded if they used it here
I Wonder if this emplies enything? Will all the canons join in to one? In that case I guess xeno saga happends about the same time and X happends in the future.
Seeing that ending w/ Shulk & Fiora, Rex/Pyra/Mythra, Elma, and KOS-MOS look on with Noah and Mio just stirred something within me. Damn I love this series.
While I would love a sequel that doubles down on the stuff that worked for the first X game,I think a catch up for those new with said added features would be a nice Tech Demo.
It’s nice to see that the main trilogy characters are appearing in their post story forms. Noah and mio no term marks, short hair fiora, and pyra mythra separated. No idea about kosmos and Elma’s appearances since I haven’t played their games yet but it’s all so cool
@@Deebus The odd part about KOS-MOS is that's her Xenoblade 2 design which is basically her Xenosaga 1 design but with red trim instead of gold lol That said, it's also more of a Xenoblade tribute
@@themojogamer75 I think they’re looking at bringing saga into the canon as well and the only model the have atm for kosmos is the blade form but it’s all very interesting!
You people are a riot. I could remember a time when Xenosaga was put in the dumpster and people could've cared less and to be honest, they weren't wrong for thinking that way
25 years and a completely altered industry. It's a little sad that Fei and Ellie can't be here with the rest of the gang, but Monolithsoft's legacy is still incredible even so.
@@lubnaa5780 That is the song that plays at the end of the DLC chapter for XB3, and yes, it is sung by the same singer that did the ending track of Xenogears and for Episode 1 of Xenosaga - Joanne Hogg.
It means so much to see Kos-mos standing with the Xenoblade cast like that. It makes me feel more than ever that Xenosaga will return and be important to the greater narritve of the series going forward. I love that the themes of passing the dream on moving forward towards the future has been reflected in Monolith soft's journey as a company in a way.
Not trying to be rude or anything just curious: why exactly do people want all the Xeno games to be connected so much? Especially Xenosaga. I mean, I’d like to play these games but they’re so old and never re-released on newer platforms. I also… admittedly have a pretty bad PC for emulation. I would very much like to know why people love those games so much as someone who I ASSUME has played them. It’s kinda frustrating to me because it feels like I’m missing out. Anyway thanks for the input in advance!
@@nocturnal2802Xenosaga has an amazing story and characters but that suffered from the second game not having Tetsuya Takahashi and his wife, which kind of handicaped the story (especially since the team who made the game did a kinda bad game too gameplay wise, the story falls off hard on disc 2), later Xenosaga 3 happens and it's a masterpiece that ends with a beautiful but bittersweet open end that shows KOS MOS flying towards Lost Jerusalem on space. Actually XS3 was the original plan for Xenosaga 2 and the next games would follow KOS MOS through different ages. Basically: It's just that it would be awesome to see a conclusion to Xenosaga's storyline and see something closer to what Tetsuya Takahashi originally intended to do with Perfect Works, i also recently finished these games and while i think that they ended the story well with what they had, i really wish that i could see more of these characters somehow. I also think that it's a wasted opportunity to not do that after Future Redeemed's radio and i really don't think that this would be bad for either game's stories, back then there were people who thought that it was a terrible idea to join Xenoblade 1 and 2 worlds and look at it now. Xenoblade Chronicles X i wish to play it someday if they ever port it, and it looks great. Actually i think that it's more likely for them to connect the next games to X than Saga for obvious reasons
@@nocturnal2802 not a rude question at all! Not sure if you know the irl dev lore but if not I'll give the loose cliff notes. Xenogears didn't get spun into a full series dispite being well received. It just fell a few thousand copies short for Square Enix to green light it. So with the vision to tell the story they wanted Monolith soft formed and went off to try again with Xenosaga under Bandai Namco. Xenosaga, was meant to be 6 games but Monolith soft was forced to wrap it up with the third game due to sales again, without spoilers the third game leaves off very open for more. Then Monolith soft was bought by Nintendo so the idea of continuing the story was kinda out of the question. Xenoblade 1 was never going to be localized to North America but the fans made it happen with demand, a rare win of people working together. Even then it was a well loved gem that had a very small release, so few really knew it. The series really has been an underdog the entire run up till 2 brought in a lot of fans. Now for the reason I at least care if to see them connected, I want to see the creators vision. I want to see the success of a team that made something special and kept that dream alive throughout all failures and obstacles. The fact that they a position where they can still refrence their old work and potentially carry it forward is a very rare circumstance and a lot of us Xenosaga fans want to see if this is the chance for the prior series to come back dispite all odds.
@@nocturnal2802 also I hear you on the frustration end of the Saga games only being on PS2 (and 1/2 on ds for Japan only) I think what a lot of folks want to see out of the latest round of openess to share the IP from Bandai is another look at porting the trilogy. Several years ago before the switch and Xenoblade 2 and 3 one of the bigwigs at Bandai Namco stated the games were reviewed and deemed not financially viable for the port or remake treatment so the fans are very vocal about it nowadays in hope that the success that Balde series has had might change the minds at Bandai Namco.
@@renren47618 yeah… these are similar sentiments I’ve seen floating around but it’s nice being told directly! Funnily enough I recently bought a Wii U so I could finally play X (but of course no Xenogears or Saga haha… 😓)

Gotta love how this effectively confirms that the song wasnt just talking about Xenoblade's general message but was actually them reminiscing on the journey to try and finish Perfect Works. Once again, absolutely perfect song to represent the Klaus Saga.
Is that the one game on the Wii that never got a proper English release? Fuck,they used Dante's OG VA cause he was a Veteran of Tokusatsu like Nero and Virgil's VAs.
@@ZX-Gear It got one but only in Europe. Just like the original Xenoblade Nintendo of America didn't want to release it. Sadly Disaster never got an "Operation Rainfall"
Starting with "Xenogears", a game that was too ambitious for its time and didn't turn out the way it was expected, to then establishing this titan as a way to take what "Xenogears" tried and didn't accomplish... and ultimately accomplish the full vision of the original and then some. Happy 25th anniversary, Monolith Soft.
Xenogears and Xenosaga both can be seen as too ambitious. Both Xenogears and Xenosaga were supposed to be 6 part stories. Gears only got 1 game, Saga was lucky to get 3.
@@jenniferhamels1176 Exactly. And then "Xenoblade Chronicles" came along to accomplish these ambitions. And sure enough, the rest is history. It took Tetsuya Takahashi a lot of strife to achieve his ambitions, but in the end, it all paid off.
The new announcement shows us that they have brand new remastered models of Elma, but they still used the old ones for this, I don't know why but that's so funny to me like they couldn't announce it to early by having Elma look good for the anniversary lmao
That end shot with all the Xenoblade protagonists, clearly Nintendo struck a diamond mind with them compared to Bamco or Square Enix. It's so crazy to me how we got here with Operation Rainfall, now they're all localized with collector's editions with successful sequels. Crazy timeline.
It's almost like reggie was a fool for not believing in Xenoblade 1 achieving any success, and all it takes is them being in smash and the console it's on to sell for the game to sell
@@caldera11 Not just Reggie, But Satoru Iwata as well, who outright sugessted to Takahashi to use the Xeno name scheme instead of the original Monado: Beginning of the World.
Man this got me in tears, its so beautiful. Thank you monolith for all the amazing experiences we got to experience and thank you max for making amazing content. Love yall
Absolute cinema. The xenoblade games hold an incredibly special hold in my heart for getting me out of the dark time of Covid and I wish the best for monolith going forward
Born too late to avoid a war that destroys the world. Born too late to live the good era of the world. But definitely not born too late to smile. And definitely, for certain, not born too late to see the 25th years of MonolithSoft, the greatest JRPG creators of all time. Godspeed, everyone. Let's forge our own destinies.
And to think it all started once Takahashi gained more creative direction in Final fantasy 6. I'm currently going through it and i can a see lot of influence Takahashi got for his own games later. Peak cinema
there's something so heartwarming about seeing all of them together in the same shot, since as far as we've ever seen, none of them could ever have existed in the same universe for long together. not in a world that wasn't on the edge of despair, destiny creeping towards them and ready to pull them all apart the moment they all met. just the idea of shulk, rex, elma and noah all sharing a quiet, somber moment atop that hill, where the world wasn't ending, and the hands of fate didn't put them through hell yet.
God, right in the feels I wasn't expecting to hear The Future Awaits for a few more weeks, when I finish my replay/stream of FC for a friend I've been showing the series
Buying this company was one of Nintendos best decisions ever! Happy birthday, Monolithsoft and thank you for making the best game ever made! (XCDE) (just my opinion)
I remember playing Xenoblade 1 on Wii and my life has never been the same. This series taught me the strength in bonds and that the future can be changed, no matter how useless it may seem. Thank you Monolithsoft!
Canonically it is! Though technically you can have them in the same party on Xenoblade 3 (Rex and Shulk become heroes after you beat a certain challenge)
OMG you're right lol! xD AU fanfic kinda shit where Mio gets sent back in time and meets Rex and her moms during XB2. :D "WHY DIDNT ANYONE TELL ME THEY WERE LIKE THIS?!"
I am so so happy that they included Kosmos and Elma in the End with their XC2 models. I am just so happy that they show us these games are still here and while there is no gurantee that a new X, an X Port, a Xenosaga Release will happen and/or when, it just makes me happy. This entire video is so beautiful. I also love how they consider the DLCs their own games because, FR and Torna are their own games, I know very few DLCs that do this so well.
Happy 25th anniversary, Monolith Soft, wish you all the best for the present and the future. Good health, happiness and lots of inspiration for all your master pieces to come. I know y'all will seize your destiny because the future doesn't belong to Zanza. It belongs to all of us 🥰
It's so cool that Namco is playing this nice with Nintendo/Monolith. KOS-MOS being part of the final line up gives me even more faith that Xenoblade 4 is going to both Xenoblade 4 and Xenosaga 4 and that just blows my mind.
Have you played Future Redeemed. They arent even being subtle about it anymore. They straight up name drop a Saga only character and have multiple other references.
I love this series so much. This video was beautiful and I really felt it deep in my soul. It's an absolute masterpiece. Thank you for everything Monolith Soft, and here's to another 25 years of magnificence
All the mains that show in the end Noah and Mio Rex, Pyra, and Mythra Elma Shulk and Fiora KOS-MOS Makes me want to see a game with all of them together in one final battle.
They showed the original xenoblade chronicles. I never played it, but I played the 3DS version. I was still consider xenoblade Chronicles my favorite game of all time!!! and definitive edition I played. I have it great game amazing. Plus they showed Shulk and Fiora!!! She has short hair 😭😭😭😭.
Oh man now I want xenosaga remaster/remake even more. Maybe now when they have proper founding and audience they can fullfil the original vision of the gigantic saga containing 9 parts.
This video almost made me cry it's so beautiful 😭

Blame Sony for dont know how to buy Studios. 😂
I loved the part at the end where they’re all standing together
Same! I didn't expect anyone aside from Noah and Mio to show up so it was a nice surprise!
As Alvis said:
"I Can see it, Clear as day, when all life walk to the future...Hand in Hand."

Damn I love this series.
The reason why elma crossed her arms is because she's waiting for the xenoblade chronicles x remake/xenoblade chronicles X2 lmao
Lmao so true, Xenoblade X port/sequel for switch 2 pls
As she should of course.
Yup and it's gonna show up any minute... Any minute now.... Yup any minute...
We will definitely get this one for the switch
While I would love a sequel that doubles down on the stuff that worked for the first X game,I think a catch up for those new with said added features would be a nice Tech Demo.
Here's the game franchise that helped me get through my early adulthood.
Similar story for me, Xenoblade's been a part of my life for a good few years now
To walk hand in hand, just the two of us.
I love that lyric from Future Awaits!
maybe the real Zhoar was the friends we made along the way
It sure was buddy. 😊
I know they used XC 2's model, but I'm always happy to see Elma! 😢
Yes! It's great Xenoblade X got acknowledged
They used the models that are on the switch. Thats why Kos-mos and Elma are on XC2 art style
Funny they used that model in hindsight lol

Dude, this made me tear up...
I remember playing Xenoblade 1 on Wii and my life has never been the same. This series taught me the strength in bonds and that the future can be changed, no matter how useless it may seem. Thank you Monolithsoft!
So you're telling me there's still hope for a Disaster: Day of Crisis remaster?
Xenogears is sorely missed here ❤
This song always makes me cry. Such a great message about how you'll never know what will happen if you don't try.
This is my favourite song in the series! I love the message like you said and the songstress did a beautiful job!
I think the reason why Fei and Elly aren't here as to do with the fact that Xenogears was made before Monolith formed.
I loved this, but they should really give themselves more credit for all the other games they helped out with as well
Monolith definitely deserves their credit for games like botw, though I get why they focus on the games they personally created in this video.
The main focus here seems to be Monolith’s original IPs, which is why there’s also no Super Robot Wars EF games
Yo, is this the first time Rex and Mio have been seen together in any capacity?
Canonically it is! Though technically you can have them in the same party on Xenoblade 3 (Rex and Shulk become heroes after you beat a certain challenge)
Yes technically, unless you count Mio as a baby in the picture 🤓
OMG you're right lol! xD AU fanfic kinda shit where Mio gets sent back in time and meets Rex and her moms during XB2. :D "WHY DIDNT ANYONE TELL ME THEY WERE LIKE THIS?!"
Outside of a still photo, yeah.
First time the gang meets Noah and Mio yeah
I am so so happy that they included Kosmos and Elma in the End with their XC2 models. I am just so happy that they show us these games are still here and while there is no gurantee that a new X, an X Port, a Xenosaga Release will happen and/or when, it just makes me happy. This entire video is so beautiful. I also love how they consider the DLCs their own games because, FR and Torna are their own games, I know very few DLCs that do this so well.
25th anniversary how time flies just beautiful
All of this going to be relevant to the next xenoblade game where it goes back to xenosaga
This was the best birthday present ever.
Gracias por todo. Feliz 25 aniversario 👏
Happy 25th anniversary, Monolith Soft, wish you all the best for the present and the future. Good health, happiness and lots of inspiration for all your master pieces to come. I know y'all will seize your destiny because the future doesn't belong to Zanza. It belongs to all of us 🥰
It's so cool that Namco is playing this nice with Nintendo/Monolith. KOS-MOS being part of the final line up gives me even more faith that Xenoblade 4 is going to both Xenoblade 4 and Xenosaga 4 and that just blows my mind.
Namco has a good partnership with Nintendo, they codeveloped SSB4
What is with all this business about mixing Xenoblade with Xenosaga? KOS-MOS and T-ELOS are simple cameos nothing more and nothing less
Have you played Future Redeemed. They arent even being subtle about it anymore. They straight up name drop a Saga only character and have multiple other references.
-Sees the 4th bubble
Welp guess I gotta be watch the Namco x Capcom intro again for the millionth time lol
welcome home kos-mos
I just started playing Xenoblade games this year, but damn, it was the best thing that happened to me. ❤
Well we all wanted to see pyra and mythra in xenoblade 3. Looks like we finally got it.

Fans: "youre goddamn right"
I love this series so much. This video was beautiful and I really felt it deep in my soul. It's an absolute masterpiece. Thank you for everything Monolith Soft, and here's to another 25 years of magnificence
Please, Mister Tetsuya Takahashi! Please! Monolith Soft has to work with Square Enix and remake Xenogears! The future is in your hands, sensei!!!
Pioneering the future of gaming..
This is also like the music video for future awaits
All the mains that show in the end
Noah and Mio
Rex, Pyra, and Mythra
Elma
Shulk and Fiora
KOS-MOS
Makes me want to see a game with all of them together in one final battle.
Holy crap, Reiji and Xiaomu mentioned!!! Awesome to see that the Namco X Capcom/Project X Zone series isn’t forgotten.
Indeed! It's great to see almost every project they worked on!
They showed the original xenoblade chronicles. I never played it, but I played the 3DS version. I was still consider xenoblade Chronicles my favorite game of all time!!! and definitive edition I played. I have it great game amazing. Plus they showed Shulk and Fiora!!! She has short hair 😭😭😭😭.
Oh man now I want xenosaga remaster/remake even more. Maybe now when they have proper founding and audience they can fullfil the original vision of the gigantic saga containing 9 parts.
Aaaaaah!!! My hopes for Xenoblade Musou just got high!!
Rip Cross, forgotten protagonist.
Game?

Thanks Monolith, their are wonderful !!!! 🌌🌌🌌😭😭😭🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Thank you Monolithsoft for making my favorite videogames you made Art here true art of gaming
Xenoblade Chronicles on Wii via Operation Rainfall was my first. So awesome!
Xenoblade x is the only orb that turned into a star and fell to earth lol
I think it means the jump to the Switch with Xenoblade 2 really kickstarted their current success
When it panned to pyra, rex and mythra i FREAKED
Same! I did not expect to see them!
