  The bath scene in XC3 is actually narratively important lol. It shows that they don't get embarrassed by nudity. It is ment to be contrasted with the scene where they change clothes. What changed between those 2 scenes? Vandham (the snake) gave them the forbidden fruit of knowledge.

  I feel like Xenoblade 1 goes in your brain, Xenoblade 2 in your heart, and Xenoblade 3 in your soul. The first game you’re like “WTF IS GOING ON” the second game ur like “I don’t get wtf is going on but I’m having a good time” and the third game is just like “who tf hurt whoever made this game”

  Xenoblade 2 is like the one kid in class with incredible potential, who instead uses it to mess with the teacher and other classmates. I love that game.

  An interesting detail is how each Xenoblade relates to time, Xenoblade 1 represents the future what with Shulk's visions of future events and the final act of claiming their future from Zanza, Xenoblade 2 represents the past as the past events are heavily important to the present events, Amalthus loosing his mother, The Aegis War and the subsequent fallout and ultimately Klaus's past actions that lead to massive destruction and the creation of Alrest and finally Xenoblade 3 represents the present with the endless fighting an eternal status quo, the soldiers of Keves and Agnus don't live long enough to remember the past and have no future and Moebius wishing to live forever in an "endless now" in a world locked in stasis.

  Almost started crying at the end of the video. A bit much? Probably. But I’m just realizing how perfect this game is for me at the point of life I’m at right now, starting college far away from home and all that, entering adulthood and thinking about the impact I may have on the world. I never played a Xenoblade game before (though I looked into lore), and I’m so happy I took the leap and bought 3.

  &quot;I took a shot every time a Nopon was annoying. Today, I&apos;m 12 years sober.&quot;<br><br>You just won yourself at least one new subscriber just for that part 😂<br>The fact that Nopon are actually awesome again is one of my favourite parts of Xenoblade 3.

  Noah really said it best.<br><br>Why would things change only in the moment of this game? Why now, of all times?<br><br>Noah&apos;s answer, poignant and pointed, &quot;We just got lucky.&quot;<br><br>Something I feel isn&apos;t pointed out enough is how Noah, Joran, Eunie, and Lanz are all best friends within their first, original lives. Then a thousand years pass, each of them living many varied incarnations over and over again. And it was this time in the game that all of them were united again. It was a mere matter of chance that they would reunite, and it was that chance where the world changed.<br><br>They just got lucky. They were lucky that everything lined up the way it was. But that&apos;s not discounting that everything that happened before was meaningless, and is instead quite the opposite-- this lucky chance only came about because things happened they way they did. Friends separated by literal entire lifetimes, come together again.<br><br>This was a very wonderful retrospection on the Xenoblade series. Cheers, man.

  This is an extremely clever video. Absolutely amazing. Love the whole Xenoblade 3 shouldn&apos;t exist is a brilliant nod to the some of the game&apos;s themes. How the fuck do you have under 10K subs on this platform.

  One of my favorite things about Xenoblade is that they do different accents for the different nations and not just take the easy &quot;everyone speaks American&quot; route, especially in the second one where the accents differ by the nations! Like, I&apos;ve never seen that and only noticed it after someone pointed it out to me and made replaying the game that much better because you start to notice way more little details. And it gave us Nia&apos;s glorious Welsh accent! I&apos;m going to miss Xenoblade, I really am.

  To this day i still can&apos;t believe me buying xenoblade x because &quot;the mech on the cover looks cool&quot; lead to me becoming a fan of this series, and im so glad it did, Xenogears, Xenoblade 3 and X are some of the most special games in my life, and they let me meet some of my best friends. This series is a miracle and I love it for that

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-1PE2iqtyMM&amp;t=609">10:09</a> Part of the reason I think this cutscene works so well is that it&apos;s doing multiple things at once. The fact that they&apos;re bathing together with zero awkwardness or fanservice tells you without explicitly telling you that sex isn&apos;t a thing they understand. (This also gets payoff later when they&apos;re changing clothes and the males get flustered without understanding why - a funny scene that also hints that the lack of Flame Clocks might be why.) Eunie&apos;s discussion with Noah displays her rare softer side while also informing the player of Joran&apos;s death and the effects it had on all three of them. The banter between Lanz and Eunie about bonus points showcases both their friendship dynamic and the fact that these battles are seen by many the same way we would view a video game deathmatch.<br>Nearly every major cutscene in the game is pulling double duty and it&apos;s breathtaking to watch once you catch it.

  Xenoblade 3 is the only game that left me breathless after playing it. I haven’t had as much fun playing a game, haven’t been as invested in a world, haven’t wanted it to keep going, haven’t been as in love with a game as I am with XC3. It is a special experience that words cannot truly justify.<br><br>It also continues the new trend of the best character in a Xenoblade game being a Welsh cat-girl.
