The big I guess this story. Act one. The big I guess revelation we got from that was Elma's revelation we got from that was Elma's revelation we got from that was Elma's backstory and what happened to her backstory and what happened to her backstory and what happened to her world. What I found interesting about world. What I found interesting about world. What I found interesting about that first of all is Elma's race is that first of all is Elma's race is that first of all is Elma's race is still not really given a name. And of still not really given a name. And of still not really given a name. And of course we know that they are descendants course we know that they are descendants course we know that they are descendants of the ancient Samarans. But I just of the ancient Samarans.

I guess we can call them like modern guess we can call them like modern guess we can call them like modern Samarans I guess because they are Samarans I guess because they are Samarans I guess because they are descendants of Samar like the Clurans descendants of Samar like the Clurans descendants of Samar like the Clurans and like us humans. that that whole cut and like us humans. that that whole cut and like us humans. that that whole cut scene, that introduction to understand scene, that introduction to understand scene, that introduction to understand where Aries came from, where Elma came where Aries came from, where Elma came where Aries came from, where Elma came from, why her um whole world was from, why her um whole world was from, why her um whole world was destroyed, and what led her to come to destroyed, and what led her to come to destroyed, and what led her to come to Earth. That was a very nice and very Earth. That was a very nice and very Earth. That was a very nice and very interesting reveal in itself. And then interesting reveal in itself. And then interesting reveal in itself. And then we're introduced to Void. And at first I we're introduced to Void. And at first I we're introduced to Void. And at first I was very hesitant on Void because for was very hesitant on Void because for was very hesitant on Void because for like his voice and his presence and his like his voice and his presence and his like his voice and his presence and his like dialogue was very cool. But I kept like dialogue was very cool. But I kept like dialogue was very cool. But I kept telling the chat I was like I really telling the chat I was like I really telling the chat I was like I really hope that there is some like physical hope that there is some like physical hope that there is some like physical form to this guy. I hope that there is form to this guy. I hope that there is form to this guy. I hope that there is some kind of relatability to this guy. I some kind of relatability to this guy. I some kind of relatability to this guy.

I I was hoping that there was more that. I I was hoping that there was more that. I I was hoping that there was more beyond what we were seeing from Void in beyond what we were seeing from Void in beyond what we were seeing from Void in that instance and I was right to believe that instance and I was right to believe that instance and I was right to believe that and I was very happy with what we that and I was very happy with what we that and I was very happy with what we got as well. So, we'll get into that a got as well. So, we'll get into that a got as well. So, we'll get into that a little later, but that was just some of little later, but that was just some of little later, but that was just some of my feelings going around in my head my feelings going around in my head my feelings going around in my head during the beginning of act one. And during the beginning of act one. And during the beginning of act one. And then of course we were introduced and then of course we were introduced and then of course we were introduced and got more lore on the legendary hero who got more lore on the legendary hero who got more lore on the legendary hero who was name dropped in Lisil's affinity was name dropped in Lisil's affinity was name dropped in Lisil's affinity mission Alise Burnhold or just Al. Um

mission Alise Burnhold or just Al. Um mission Alise Burnhold or just Al. Um I've also seen some very mixed feelings I've also seen some very mixed feelings I've also seen some very mixed feelings on Al. I will say I really really like on Al. I will say I really really like on Al. I will say I really really like him as a character and I think he's him as a character and I think he's him as a character and I think he's great. He took a little bit to grow on great. He took a little bit to grow on great. He took a little bit to grow on me and I will say like I said in my uh me and I will say like I said in my uh me and I will say like I said in my uh predictions um about the act, I wanted predictions um about the act, I wanted predictions um about the act, I wanted him to be an alien. I even wanted him to him to be an alien. I even wanted him to him to be an alien. I even wanted him to go as far as to be the same race as go as far as to be the same race as go as far as to be the same race as Elma. And I wanted that to kind of tie Elma. And I wanted that to kind of tie Elma. And I wanted that to kind of tie into why he is known as the lone hero. into why he is known as the lone hero. into why he is known as the lone hero. Cuz a lot of my theories were stepping Cuz a lot of my theories were stepping Cuz a lot of my theories were stepping off the fact that like Elma and this off the fact that like Elma and this off the fact that like Elma and this lone hero piloted the Aries together and lone hero piloted the Aries together and lone hero piloted the Aries together and maybe they were able to do that because maybe they were able to do that because maybe they were able to do that because they were not from this world. Well, it they were not from this world. Well, it they were not from this world. Well, it turns out Al is just that good of a turns out Al is just that good of a turns out Al is just that good of a pilot and he is just that talented and pilot and he is just that talented and pilot and he is just that talented and that badass. so he could do it. I will that badass. so he could do it. I will that badass. so he could do it. I will say Elma got a lot of character say Elma got a lot of character say Elma got a lot of character development in this epilogue and I know development in this epilogue and I know development in this epilogue and I know a lot of people like Elma quite a bit a lot of people like Elma quite a bit a lot of people like Elma quite a bit and I do too. I really think she's super and I do too. I really think she's super and I do too. I really think she's super cool, super badass. I love her character cool, super badass. I love her character cool, super badass. I love her character in general. Just her design, her in general. Just her design, her in general. Just her design, her attitude, her personality. But when you attitude, her personality. But when you attitude, her personality. But when you compare her to other Xenolade compare her to other Xenolade compare her to other Xenolade protagonists, there was a little bit of protagonists, there was a little bit of protagonists, there was a little bit of a disconnect with me there personally.

a disconnect with me there personally. a disconnect with me there personally. You see Schul, Rex, Noah, even Fay, who You see Schul, Rex, Noah, even Fay, who You see Schul, Rex, Noah, even Fay, who I know from playing Zeno Gears. I I know from playing Zeno Gears. I I know from playing Zeno Gears. I haven't played Zeno Saga yet, so I don't haven't played Zeno Saga yet, so I don't haven't played Zeno Saga yet, so I don't know much about Shion, but a lot of know much about Shion, but a lot of know much about Shion, but a lot of these characters go through a lot. They these characters go through a lot. They these characters go through a lot. They go through a lot of ups and downs. They go through a lot of ups and downs. They go through a lot of ups and downs. They have a lot of like turmoil, internal have a lot of like turmoil, internal have a lot of like turmoil, internal conflicts that they have to go through. conflicts that they have to go through. conflicts that they have to go through. And that just didn't happen a lot with And that just didn't happen a lot with And that just didn't happen a lot with Elma. And I was I wouldn't say Elma. And I was I wouldn't say Elma. And I was I wouldn't say disconnect, but the thing I was missing disconnect, but the thing I was missing disconnect, but the thing I was missing uh from other Zeno protagonists that uh from other Zeno protagonists that uh from other Zeno protagonists that Elma was kind of missing in her Elma was kind of missing in her Elma was kind of missing in her character was a little bit of the character was a little bit of the character was a little bit of the emotional turmoil and a little bit of emotional turmoil and a little bit of emotional turmoil and a little bit of those struggles that she has to those struggles that she has to those struggles that she has to overcome. Because Elma is always putting overcome. Because Elma is always putting overcome. Because Elma is always putting up like this kind of I wouldn't say it's up like this kind of I wouldn't say it's up like this kind of I wouldn't say it's a facade, but she's putting up a face of a facade, but she's putting up a face of a facade, but she's putting up a face of like determination like we got to get like determination like we got to get like determination like we got to get this done. I'm the one responsible and this done. I'm the one responsible and this done. I'm the one responsible and like that's that's what makes her really like that's that's what makes her really like that's that's what makes her really compelling as a character. But I liked compelling as a character. But I liked compelling as a character. But I liked seeing that she has a little more seeing that she has a little more seeing that she has a little more sensitive side in chapter 13 when she sensitive side in chapter 13 when she sensitive side in chapter 13 when she reunites with Al. we can maybe assume reunites with Al. we can maybe assume reunites with Al. we can maybe assume that they had like some past and we get that they had like some past and we get that they had like some past and we get to see a little bit more of their past to see a little bit more of their past to see a little bit more of their past with Elma and Al and everyone back on with Elma and Al and everyone back on with Elma and Al and everyone back on Earth and just why everyone respects Al Earth and just why everyone respects Al Earth and just why everyone respects Al so much and Elma's even connection to so much and Elma's even connection to so much and Elma's even connection to the Aries and to Al and why she feels so the Aries and to Al and why she feels so the Aries and to Al and why she feels so strongly for this scale and for this strongly for this scale and for this strongly for this scale and for this person who's piloting it as well. So, person who's piloting it as well. So, person who's piloting it as well. So, the the last thing I'll talk about the the last thing I'll talk about the the last thing I'll talk about lorewise, I guess, in act one is Meera lorewise, I guess, in act one is Meera lorewise, I guess, in act one is Meera being in another dimension, that was being in another dimension, that was being in another dimension, that was quite the twist, and I still had so many

quite the twist, and I still had so many quite the twist, and I still had so many questions in my head. Where are their questions in my head. Where are their questions in my head. Where are their bodies? Why? Why weren't they in the bodies? Why? Why weren't they in the bodies? Why? Why weren't they in the lifeold core? What does all this mean? lifeold core? What does all this mean? lifeold core? What does all this mean? How does this connect to the something How does this connect to the something How does this connect to the something about this planet? All that stuff. And about this planet? All that stuff. And about this planet? All that stuff. And they were giving us like bits and pieces they were giving us like bits and pieces they were giving us like bits and pieces of evidence on what is going to happen of evidence on what is going to happen of evidence on what is going to happen in the future of chapter 13. and I still in the future of chapter 13. and I still in the future of chapter 13. and I still didn't really want to accept it. And didn't really want to accept it. And didn't really want to accept it. And we'll get into that with act two because we'll get into that with act two because we'll get into that with act two because act two goes fullon into a lot of this. act two goes fullon into a lot of this. act two goes fullon into a lot of this. Act two is when everything slowly hit me Act two is when everything slowly hit me Act two is when everything slowly hit me and that we would have to leave a mirror and that we would have to leave a mirror and that we would have to leave a mirror behind and I was still a little confused behind and I was still a little confused behind and I was still a little confused on why the ghosts were showing up and on why the ghosts were showing up and on why the ghosts were showing up and why they were relating to void, why they why they were relating to void, why they why they were relating to void, why they were doing all these dematerialization were doing all these dematerialization were doing all these dematerialization events and all that. And it seriously events and all that. And it seriously events and all that. And it seriously hit me when they started talking about hit me when they started talking about hit me when they started talking about the second project exodus. And that was the second project exodus. And that was the second project exodus. And that was when everything hit me. I was like, when everything hit me. I was like, when everything hit me. I was like, "Wait, I'm not like ready to leave "Wait, I'm not like ready to leave "Wait, I'm not like ready to leave Merror. I am not ready to leave this Merror. I am not ready to leave this Merror. I am not ready to leave this place behind, even though I've spent so place behind, even though I've spent so place behind, even though I've spent so much time in it on the Wii U and on the much time in it on the Wii U and on the much time in it on the Wii U and on the Switch." And I I just was hoping that we Switch." And I I just was hoping that we Switch." And I I just was hoping that we would learn more about Meera, but I would learn more about Meera, but I would learn more about Meera, but I slowly accepted that it is like time to slowly accepted that it is like time to slowly accepted that it is like time to move on to somewhere else. And like, of move on to somewhere else. And like, of move on to somewhere else. And like, of course, I always thought with Xenolade X course, I always thought with Xenolade X course, I always thought with Xenolade X as a sequel, it's going to explore the as a sequel, it's going to explore the as a sequel, it's going to explore the cosmos. We're getting like setups with cosmos. We're getting like setups with cosmos. We're getting like setups with Clurans and Samarians and other like Clurans and Samarians and other like Clurans and Samarians and other like races of xenol life forms outside Meera races of xenol life forms outside Meera races of xenol life forms outside Meera and and of course other universes and and and of course other universes and and and of course other universes and other dimensions. So it does make sense,

other dimensions. So it does make sense, other dimensions. So it does make sense, but it is still kind of like that but it is still kind of like that but it is still kind of like that sentimental part of us is leaving Mera sentimental part of us is leaving Mera sentimental part of us is leaving Mera and and we see that a lot in some of the and and we see that a lot in some of the and and we see that a lot in some of the side quests that we had to do. Like we side quests that we had to do. Like we side quests that we had to do. Like we spend so much time with it. So many of spend so much time with it. So many of spend so much time with it. So many of these characters don't want to leave and these characters don't want to leave and these characters don't want to leave and they have to kind of really accept this they have to kind of really accept this they have to kind of really accept this sad reality. And we see that with some sad reality. And we see that with some sad reality. And we see that with some of these side quests. The side quests of these side quests. The side quests of these side quests. The side quests kind of like threw off the pacing a kind of like threw off the pacing a kind of like threw off the pacing a little bit, but I didn't really mind little bit, but I didn't really mind little bit, but I didn't really mind because they weren't very um they they because they weren't very um they they because they weren't very um they they just didn't have a lot to do so I could just didn't have a lot to do so I could just didn't have a lot to do so I could just get through them very quickly. And just get through them very quickly. And just get through them very quickly. And some of the like writing in the side some of the like writing in the side some of the like writing in the side quest was a little weird. It it was a quest was a little weird. It it was a quest was a little weird. It it was a very big dip in the pacing because we very big dip in the pacing because we very big dip in the pacing because we did just get some very massive lore did just get some very massive lore did just get some very massive lore reveals that I'll talk about in a bit reveals that I'll talk about in a bit reveals that I'll talk about in a bit and then we had to go and do those side and then we had to go and do those side and then we had to go and do those side quests. But I appreciate the existence quests. But I appreciate the existence quests. But I appreciate the existence of the side quest because it kind of of the side quest because it kind of of the side quest because it kind of made us get in the mindset of, hey, made us get in the mindset of, hey, made us get in the mindset of, hey, we're actually going to have to leave we're actually going to have to leave we're actually going to have to leave this planet behind. Many people do not this planet behind. Many people do not this planet behind. Many people do not want to leave this planet behind for want to leave this planet behind for want to leave this planet behind for various reasons. And we are going to various reasons. And we are going to various reasons. And we are going to have to continue the legacy of this have to continue the legacy of this have to continue the legacy of this planet that we've left behind and just planet that we've left behind and just planet that we've left behind and just continue to forge towards a new future continue to forge towards a new future continue to forge towards a new future just like many Xenolade games do. Yeah.

just like many Xenolade games do. Yeah. just like many Xenolade games do. Yeah. So, that's how I feel about a lot of So, that's how I feel about a lot of So, that's how I feel about a lot of those feelings and just those side those feelings and just those side those feelings and just those side quests in general. Let's talk about the quests in general. Let's talk about the quests in general. Let's talk about the legendary pizza scene. So, a lot of legendary pizza scene. So, a lot of legendary pizza scene. So, a lot of people in my chat were just always people in my chat were just always people in my chat were just always telling me just wait for the pizza telling me just wait for the pizza telling me just wait for the pizza scene. Wait for the pizza scene. And I scene. Wait for the pizza scene. And I scene. Wait for the pizza scene. And I kept telling them like in my head I was kept telling them like in my head I was kept telling them like in my head I was like what what are what are the man on like what what are what are the man on like what what are what are the man on going to do?

So I was They love pizza and all that. So I was They love pizza and all that. So I was like what is like is there going to be like what is like is there going to be like what is like is there going to be some like major manon thing happening in some like major manon thing happening in some like major manon thing happening in here? And I like of course ending act here? And I like of course ending act here? And I like of course ending act one I was like Al hasn't told us one I was like Al hasn't told us one I was like Al hasn't told us everything. Al was just kind of like in everything. Al was just kind of like in everything. Al was just kind of like in a space between or whatever and then he a space between or whatever and then he a space between or whatever and then he emerged with void and like he he told emerged with void and like he he told emerged with void and like he he told not even half the story. He told us like not even half the story. He told us like not even half the story. He told us like a very fraction of the story. So I was a very fraction of the story. So I was a very fraction of the story. So I was like we need to sit down with Al and like we need to sit down with Al and like we need to sit down with Al and have him tell us everything about where have him tell us everything about where have him tell us everything about where he has been. And then when the pizza he has been. And then when the pizza he has been. And then when the pizza scene happened I was like okay scene happened I was like okay scene happened I was like okay everyone's just chilling having pizza. everyone's just chilling having pizza. everyone's just chilling having pizza. And then the massive, massive lore dumps And then the massive, massive lore dumps And then the massive, massive lore dumps were dropped. Multiverse, were dropped. Multiverse, were dropped. Multiverse, um, Xenolade 1, 2, and three characters.

um, Xenolade 1, 2, and three characters. um, Xenolade 1, 2, and three characters. You guys saw my reaction when I saw Shul You guys saw my reaction when I saw Shul You guys saw my reaction when I saw Shul and Fiora. I screamed. I was like, the and Fiora. I screamed. I was like, the and Fiora. I screamed. I was like, the backstage of space, the border town of backstage of space, the border town of backstage of space, the border town of all universe. Holy I did not I did not universe. Holy I did not I did not expect to see expect to see expect to see that when I like expected Xenolade X to that when I like expected Xenolade X to that when I like expected Xenolade X to link to the other games. I didn't expect link to the other games. I didn't expect link to the other games. I didn't expect it to be this explicit to um show like it to be this explicit to um show like it to be this explicit to um show like hey um this character in the multiverse hey um this character in the multiverse hey um this character in the multiverse has seen all these other events, has has seen all these other events, has has seen all these other events, has seen all these other stories transpire. seen all these other stories transpire. seen all these other stories transpire. I didn't expect it to be that direct, I didn't expect it to be that direct, I didn't expect it to be that direct, but they they really went there. And but they they really went there. And but they they really went there. And wow, I'm I'm impressed. And of course, wow, I'm I'm impressed. And of course, wow, I'm I'm impressed. And of course, like you guys know, some of my theories like you guys know, some of my theories like you guys know, some of my theories that I expressed before, like leading up that I expressed before, like leading up that I expressed before, like leading up to this game, a lot of the connections to this game, a lot of the connections to this game, a lot of the connections to Xenolade 1, 2, and 3 aren't exactly to Xenolade 1, 2, and 3 aren't exactly to Xenolade 1, 2, and 3 aren't exactly how I expected them to be, but there are how I expected them to be, but there are how I expected them to be, but there are still a lot of like lore tie-ins to still a lot of like lore tie-ins to still a lot of like lore tie-ins to Xenolade 2 and to like Xenolade 3 and Xenolade 2 and to like Xenolade 3 and Xenolade 2 and to like Xenolade 3 and how Origin a lot of that works and how how Origin a lot of that works and how how Origin a lot of that works and how like Aries and a lot of that stuff like Aries and a lot of that stuff like Aries and a lot of that stuff works. there there's a lot of lore works. there there's a lot of lore works. there there's a lot of lore tie-ins there still, but um they are tie-ins there still, but um they are tie-ins there still, but um they are going the multiversal direction. That is going the multiversal direction. That is going the multiversal direction. That is very interesting. I I might have a very interesting. I I might have a very interesting. I I might have a little bit of a um potential uh little bit of a um potential uh little bit of a um potential uh apprehension on that, but that's another apprehension on that, but that's another apprehension on that, but that's another story for another time. We'll get into story for another time. We'll get into story for another time. We'll get into that a little later. But that was that a little later. But that was that a little later. But that was insane. There was so much there. All of insane. There was so much there. All of insane. There was so much there. All of Al's scenes were very mysterious and

Al's scenes were very mysterious and Al's scenes were very mysterious and very intriguing because he also doesn't very intriguing because he also doesn't very intriguing because he also doesn't know all the answers. there was so much know all the answers. there was so much know all the answers. there was so much information flooding into him at once information flooding into him at once information flooding into him at once and he's trying to sort of like piece and he's trying to sort of like piece and he's trying to sort of like piece this together as were we and I really this together as were we and I really this together as were we and I really appreciated um Doug was kind of there appreciated um Doug was kind of there appreciated um Doug was kind of there and he was like hey are are we kind of and he was like hey are are we kind of and he was like hey are are we kind of jumping into conclusions a little too jumping into conclusions a little too jumping into conclusions a little too early and I feel like Doug and Al were early and I feel like Doug and Al were early and I feel like Doug and Al were sort of like tie-ins for us we're sort of like tie-ins for us we're sort of like tie-ins for us we're getting a whole bunch of information getting a whole bunch of information getting a whole bunch of information like thrown at us at once and then Doug like thrown at us at once and then Doug like thrown at us at once and then Doug was like hey don't jump to conclusions was like hey don't jump to conclusions was like hey don't jump to conclusions yet there's still more you need to know yet there's still more you need to know yet there's still more you need to know and that's one thing I really appreciate and that's one thing I really appreciate and that's one thing I really appreciate about this epilogue. It is so much more about this epilogue. It is so much more about this epilogue. It is so much more than I expected. I mentioned that than I expected. I mentioned that than I expected. I mentioned that earlier. And they are packing so much earlier. And they are packing so much earlier. And they are packing so much lore, so much details, so much like laws lore, so much details, so much like laws lore, so much details, so much like laws of nature within the Xenolade and Xeno of nature within the Xenolade and Xeno of nature within the Xenolade and Xeno multiverse into just these um like I multiverse into just these um like I multiverse into just these um like I wouldn't say short cutscenes, but like wouldn't say short cutscenes, but like wouldn't say short cutscenes, but like these very um truncated cutscenes with these very um truncated cutscenes with these very um truncated cutscenes with these amazing pieces of artwork that these amazing pieces of artwork that these amazing pieces of artwork that they have. And it's it's really really they have. And it's it's really really they have. And it's it's really really interesting. I've taken so many interesting. I've taken so many interesting. I've taken so many screenshots of almost like every single screenshots of almost like every single screenshots of almost like every single sentence of a lot of these Aloise sentence of a lot of these Aloise sentence of a lot of these Aloise Burnhold um cutscenes and I need to go Burnhold um cutscenes and I need to go Burnhold um cutscenes and I need to go back and watch them so many more times.

back and watch them so many more times. back and watch them so many more times. Al gives us a lot of information about Al gives us a lot of information about Al gives us a lot of information about like the rift between universes and how like the rift between universes and how like the rift between universes and how it may or may not relate to the it may or may not relate to the it may or may not relate to the collective unconscious and a lot of collective unconscious and a lot of collective unconscious and a lot of other um kind of a lot of other kind of other um kind of a lot of other kind of other um kind of a lot of other kind of things that the Xenolade and the Xeno things that the Xenolade and the Xeno things that the Xenolade and the Xeno multiverse has kind of introduced in multiverse has kind of introduced in multiverse has kind of introduced in other games. A lot of people are other games. A lot of people are other games. A lot of people are comparing this to the NN in Xeno Saga. I comparing this to the NN in Xeno Saga. I comparing this to the NN in Xeno Saga. I haven't played Zeno Saga yet, but this haven't played Zeno Saga yet, but this haven't played Zeno Saga yet, but this game is really really pushing me to play game is really really pushing me to play game is really really pushing me to play more Zeno Saga and eventually get more Zeno Saga and eventually get more Zeno Saga and eventually get started on that series. So, that that started on that series. So, that that started on that series. So, that that was very cool. The biggest thing that um was very cool. The biggest thing that um was very cool. The biggest thing that um Al mentioned here was the universal Al mentioned here was the universal Al mentioned here was the universal mechanism or the meta doohickey. Uh in mechanism or the meta doohickey. Uh in mechanism or the meta doohickey. Uh in the back of my head, I was thinking that the back of my head, I was thinking that the back of my head, I was thinking that was like a conduit Zohar origin kind of was like a conduit Zohar origin kind of was like a conduit Zohar origin kind of thing. Um turns out it might just be the thing. Um turns out it might just be the thing. Um turns out it might just be the rift that he's talking about or the um rift that he's talking about or the um rift that he's talking about or the um universal nexus. I think that's what he universal nexus. I think that's what he universal nexus. I think that's what he calls it. The universal mech mechanism calls it. The universal mech mechanism calls it. The universal mech mechanism nexus or something like that. nexus or something like that. nexus or something like that. Um I think that might just be it that Um I think that might just be it that Um I think that might just be it that sort of stores human souls, stores um sort of stores human souls, stores um sort of stores human souls, stores um souls of prior life. And that seems to souls of prior life. And that seems to souls of prior life. And that seems to be a lot of the answers to what we're um be a lot of the answers to what we're um be a lot of the answers to what we're um looking for with Meera. why people can looking for with Meera. why people can looking for with Meera. why people can understand each other, why people are understand each other, why people are understand each other, why people are still alive within their mimosomes when still alive within their mimosomes when still alive within their mimosomes when they should be dead, when the life hold they should be dead, when the life hold they should be dead, when the life hold core is destroyed. A lot of the answers core is destroyed. A lot of the answers core is destroyed. A lot of the answers to that probably seem to be tying into to that probably seem to be tying into to that probably seem to be tying into this universal rift, which is very

this universal rift, which is very this universal rift, which is very interesting, especially for the future interesting, especially for the future interesting, especially for the future of the Xeno series because now we know of the Xeno series because now we know of the Xeno series because now we know that Klouse was being very serious when that Klouse was being very serious when that Klouse was being very serious when he said that there are much more he said that there are much more he said that there are much more universes outside of the ones that we universes outside of the ones that we universes outside of the ones that we know and Xenolade X seems to be a part know and Xenolade X seems to be a part know and Xenolade X seems to be a part of it. Also, in act two, it was sort of of it. Also, in act two, it was sort of of it. Also, in act two, it was sort of revealed that Void has a body, and that revealed that Void has a body, and that revealed that Void has a body, and that made me very intrigued. It made me made me very intrigued. It made me made me very intrigued. It made me interested to see what his true interested to see what his true interested to see what his true personality would be like because in the personality would be like because in the personality would be like because in the back of my head, I was like, "Ganglen back of my head, I was like, "Ganglen back of my head, I was like, "Ganglen relate to Samar. I want to know so much relate to Samar. I want to know so much relate to Samar. I want to know so much more about Samar. Please give me more more about Samar. Please give me more more about Samar. Please give me more Samarian lore. Please give me more Samarian lore. Please give me more Samarian lore. Please give me more Samarian lore." And I was like, a lot of Samarian lore." And I was like, a lot of Samarian lore." And I was like, a lot of that has to be related to what is that has to be related to what is that has to be related to what is happening with Void. And I will get into happening with Void. And I will get into happening with Void. And I will get into that a lot later, but I was very that a lot later, but I was very that a lot later, but I was very impressed with what we saw and act two impressed with what we saw and act two impressed with what we saw and act two just made me more interested to know just made me more interested to know just made me more interested to know more. Um, here is something substantial more. Um, here is something substantial more. Um, here is something substantial that I want to talk about which relates that I want to talk about which relates that I want to talk about which relates to I think a lot of what people um maybe to I think a lot of what people um maybe to I think a lot of what people um maybe had some disappointments with and that had some disappointments with and that had some disappointments with and that is a little bit of retcon. So, I want to is a little bit of retcon. So, I want to is a little bit of retcon. So, I want to talk about Lao and his endgame here. And talk about Lao and his endgame here. And talk about Lao and his endgame here. And um many people, I wouldn't say were um many people, I wouldn't say were um many people, I wouldn't say were upset with what happened with Lao, but upset with what happened with Lao, but upset with what happened with Lao, but they were feeling that a lot of it was they were feeling that a lot of it was they were feeling that a lot of it was the results of having to do rewrites the results of having to do rewrites the results of having to do rewrites because of his Japanese voice actor because of his Japanese voice actor because of his Japanese voice actor having passed away. And I personally having passed away. And I personally having passed away. And I personally looking back at it, it it does feel like looking back at it, it it does feel like looking back at it, it it does feel like um maybe a little bit of a redcon um maybe a little bit of a redcon um maybe a little bit of a redcon because um Al has that hoodie that he because um Al has that hoodie that he because um Al has that hoodie that he has at the that the Black Knight has at

has at the that the Black Knight has at has at the that the Black Knight has at the end of Xenolade X on the Wii U and the end of Xenolade X on the Wii U and the end of Xenolade X on the Wii U and then he has it in this like kind of then he has it in this like kind of then he has it in this like kind of purgatory space between afterlife scene purgatory space between afterlife scene purgatory space between afterlife scene and then he just doesn't have it ever and then he just doesn't have it ever and then he just doesn't have it ever again. like when he's stuck in the uh again. like when he's stuck in the uh again. like when he's stuck in the uh Nexus in the Rift, he doesn't seem to Nexus in the Rift, he doesn't seem to Nexus in the Rift, he doesn't seem to have that hoodie, but when he's talking have that hoodie, but when he's talking have that hoodie, but when he's talking with Lao, he does. So, that's a little with Lao, he does. So, that's a little with Lao, he does. So, that's a little bit of a like kind of inconsistency bit of a like kind of inconsistency bit of a like kind of inconsistency there. But I really thought about this there. But I really thought about this there. But I really thought about this as I was playing that portion of the as I was playing that portion of the as I was playing that portion of the game. And then even after I was like, game. And then even after I was like, game. And then even after I was like, what else could they have done for Lao? what else could they have done for Lao? what else could they have done for Lao? Lao had his character arc in the base Lao had his character arc in the base Lao had his character arc in the base game. he had his um kind of ending in game. he had his um kind of ending in game. he had his um kind of ending in the base game and there was still some the base game and there was still some the base game and there was still some more that we wanted to know more about more that we wanted to know more about more that we wanted to know more about Lao, like was he alive? All that stuff. Lao, like was he alive? All that stuff. Lao, like was he alive? All that stuff. But to me, I feel like a lot of what But to me, I feel like a lot of what But to me, I feel like a lot of what they did with Lao and his ending and him they did with Lao and his ending and him they did with Lao and his ending and him just moving on to the past, moving on just moving on to the past, moving on just moving on to the past, moving on into the afterlife, accepting his fate, into the afterlife, accepting his fate, into the afterlife, accepting his fate, accepting his death, and wanting his accepting his death, and wanting his accepting his death, and wanting his kind of legacy and his memories to live kind of legacy and his memories to live kind of legacy and his memories to live on through Lynn. I feel like a lot of on through Lynn. I feel like a lot of on through Lynn. I feel like a lot of that just worked out. And it just I that just worked out. And it just I that just worked out. And it just I think it fits. I think it fits think it fits. I think it fits think it fits. I think it fits personally because I'm thinking like personally because I'm thinking like personally because I'm thinking like what could they have brought Lao back what could they have brought Lao back what could they have brought Lao back for? Would he have come back to New LA for? Would he have come back to New LA for? Would he have come back to New LA and would he have assimilated with and would he have assimilated with and would he have assimilated with everyone back in New LA? I don't know if everyone back in New LA? I don't know if everyone back in New LA? I don't know if that would have really worked and I feel that would have really worked and I feel that would have really worked and I feel like that might have just kind of taken

like that might have just kind of taken like that might have just kind of taken away from the stuff happening with Al away from the stuff happening with Al away from the stuff happening with Al and Void and the ghost and the demats. and Void and the ghost and the demats. and Void and the ghost and the demats. So, I think Lao's ending just kind of So, I think Lao's ending just kind of So, I think Lao's ending just kind of worked out the way that it did. And not worked out the way that it did. And not worked out the way that it did. And not only that, a lot of people were also only that, a lot of people were also only that, a lot of people were also like just upset with other sort of like just upset with other sort of like just upset with other sort of retcons that this um definitive edition retcons that this um definitive edition retcons that this um definitive edition may or may not have introduced and kind may or may not have introduced and kind may or may not have introduced and kind of implemented into the story. I was a of implemented into the story. I was a of implemented into the story. I was a little iffy about a lot of that as well, little iffy about a lot of that as well, little iffy about a lot of that as well, like destroying Meera, moving away from like destroying Meera, moving away from like destroying Meera, moving away from Meera. There's so many like mysteries Meera. There's so many like mysteries Meera. There's so many like mysteries and like things that you would want to and like things that you would want to and like things that you would want to learn more about this planet. There's learn more about this planet. There's learn more about this planet. There's something about this planet, but we're something about this planet, but we're something about this planet, but we're moving on to something new. Then again, moving on to something new. Then again, moving on to something new. Then again, I was reminded by a lot of people, and I I was reminded by a lot of people, and I I was reminded by a lot of people, and I also knew this, but Xenolade X went also knew this, but Xenolade X went also knew this, but Xenolade X went through a lot of rewrites, went through through a lot of rewrites, went through through a lot of rewrites, went through a lot of different um kind of story a lot of different um kind of story a lot of different um kind of story revisions. The original concept for X revisions. The original concept for X revisions. The original concept for X like many of Takahashi's stories was like many of Takahashi's stories was like many of Takahashi's stories was very, very ambitious. involved many very, very ambitious. involved many very, very ambitious. involved many different planets, probably many different planets, probably many different planets, probably many different universes, but he had to kind different universes, but he had to kind different universes, but he had to kind of condense it to fit to what Nintendo of condense it to fit to what Nintendo of condense it to fit to what Nintendo wanted and what he was able to do on the wanted and what he was able to do on the wanted and what he was able to do on the Wii U system. The end of Act 2 is when I Wii U system. The end of Act 2 is when I Wii U system. The end of Act 2 is when I did more of Al's affinity missions. And did more of Al's affinity missions. And did more of Al's affinity missions. And Al's affinity missions were not the way Al's affinity missions were not the way Al's affinity missions were not the way I expected them to be. I thought we were I expected them to be. I thought we were I expected them to be. I thought we were going to get more history with Al and going to get more history with Al and going to get more history with Al and Lynn and like more of his like time on Lynn and like more of his like time on Lynn and like more of his like time on Earth. We do get a little bit of that Earth. We do get a little bit of that Earth. We do get a little bit of that through his heart to hearts and some of

through his heart to hearts and some of through his heart to hearts and some of what's happening in his affinity what's happening in his affinity what's happening in his affinity missions, but nothing like really missions, but nothing like really missions, but nothing like really substantial. The affinity missions were substantial. The affinity missions were substantial. The affinity missions were more so just getting more time to more so just getting more time to more so just getting more time to interact with him, get to know him as a interact with him, get to know him as a interact with him, get to know him as a person, and get to know him more as a person, and get to know him more as a person, and get to know him more as a character. In terms of like the actual character. In terms of like the actual character. In terms of like the actual like content and sequence of the like content and sequence of the like content and sequence of the Infinity Missions, nothing super Infinity Missions, nothing super Infinity Missions, nothing super exciting, but I did really enjoy getting exciting, but I did really enjoy getting exciting, but I did really enjoy getting to know Eloise Burnhold more as a to know Eloise Burnhold more as a to know Eloise Burnhold more as a character. It just helped me get more character. It just helped me get more character. It just helped me get more closer to his character and feel a closer to his character and feel a closer to his character and feel a little more appreciative of him. little more appreciative of him. little more appreciative of him. Otherwise, they were just a little Otherwise, they were just a little Otherwise, they were just a little simple, but that's not too big of a simple, but that's not too big of a simple, but that's not too big of a deal. Um, I do, um, understand that I deal. Um, I do, um, understand that I deal. Um, I do, um, understand that I wouldn't say this is a negative that wouldn't say this is a negative that wouldn't say this is a negative that people have, but it was kind of like a people have, but it was kind of like a people have, but it was kind of like a shock that people thought that, um, this shock that people thought that, um, this shock that people thought that, um, this legendary hero was going to be some like legendary hero was going to be some like legendary hero was going to be some like super cool guy who was like just some super cool guy who was like just some super cool guy who was like just some like guy who was super above and beyond like guy who was super above and beyond like guy who was super above and beyond everyone else. And I sort of thought the everyone else. And I sort of thought the everyone else. And I sort of thought the same thing. I expected him to be an same thing. I expected him to be an same thing. I expected him to be an alien. I expected him to be the same alien. I expected him to be the same alien. I expected him to be the same race as Elma. But when I got to know race as Elma. But when I got to know race as Elma. But when I got to know more about Al, I really liked him. I more about Al, I really liked him. I more about Al, I really liked him. I thought his character was very thought his character was very thought his character was very endearing. I thought that it was cool endearing. I thought that it was cool endearing. I thought that it was cool that a guy who is known as a legendary that a guy who is known as a legendary that a guy who is known as a legendary hero, people praise him so much. People hero, people praise him so much. People hero, people praise him so much. People love him so much is still so humble and love him so much is still so humble and love him so much is still so humble and down to earth. He still loves his down to earth. He still loves his down to earth. He still loves his burgers and his pizza and a nice cold burgers and his pizza and a nice cold burgers and his pizza and a nice cold beer. He loves to drive around in his beer. He loves to drive around in his beer. He loves to drive around in his German cars. He's a really just chill

German cars. He's a really just chill German cars. He's a really just chill guy who loves to make bad jokes. Like, guy who loves to make bad jokes. Like, guy who loves to make bad jokes. Like, how is it popping? I was really drawn to how is it popping? I was really drawn to how is it popping? I was really drawn to his character and it um hear me out, but his character and it um hear me out, but his character and it um hear me out, but it really reminded me of Rex in a way it really reminded me of Rex in a way it really reminded me of Rex in a way because Rex is a guy who does so many because Rex is a guy who does so many because Rex is a guy who does so many like cool above and beyond things. He's like cool above and beyond things. He's like cool above and beyond things. He's a driver of the aegis. He saves the a driver of the aegis. He saves the a driver of the aegis. He saves the world. He does so many crazy things. He world. He does so many crazy things. He world. He does so many crazy things. He becomes the master driver. He becomes a becomes the master driver. He becomes a becomes the master driver. He becomes a Chad, like a really ripped dude in Chad, like a really ripped dude in Chad, like a really ripped dude in Future Redeemed with three wives. But in Future Redeemed with three wives. But in Future Redeemed with three wives. But in the end, Rex is just a dude. Rex is just the end, Rex is just a dude. Rex is just the end, Rex is just a dude. Rex is just a guy who wants to make people happy and a guy who wants to make people happy and a guy who wants to make people happy and puts smiles on people's faces. And that puts smiles on people's faces. And that puts smiles on people's faces. And that was Al as well to me. Al reminded me of was Al as well to me. Al reminded me of was Al as well to me. Al reminded me of like adult Rex, but a little more like adult Rex, but a little more like adult Rex, but a little more relatable in a way, which made him so relatable in a way, which made him so relatable in a way, which made him so likable and so like I I really like his likable and so like I I really like his likable and so like I I really like his character quite a bit. And uh a lot of character quite a bit. And uh a lot of character quite a bit. And uh a lot of people saying, "Oh, he's just some guy. people saying, "Oh, he's just some guy. people saying, "Oh, he's just some guy. He's just some ordinary dude." I'm like, He's just some ordinary dude." I'm like, He's just some ordinary dude." I'm like, "What did you want him to be?" If a "What did you want him to be?" If a "What did you want him to be?" If a legendary hero takes time to tell people legendary hero takes time to tell people legendary hero takes time to tell people that, "Hey, I'm not that special. I want that, "Hey, I'm not that special. I want that, "Hey, I'm not that special. I want to hang out with you. I want to like to hang out with you. I want to like to hang out with you. I want to like build this really good, strong, loving build this really good, strong, loving build this really good, strong, loving family." Then that makes him even more family." Then that makes him even more family." Then that makes him even more of a awesome character and a hero. So I of a awesome character and a hero. So I of a awesome character and a hero. So I I love Al. He's one of my favorite I love Al. He's one of my favorite I love Al. He's one of my favorite characters in the game. one of my characters in the game. one of my characters in the game. one of my favorite Xenolade characters now as favorite Xenolade characters now as favorite Xenolade characters now as well. So, kudos to Al. Um, I want to well. So, kudos to Al. Um, I want to well. So, kudos to Al. Um, I want to talk about a little bit of the talk about a little bit of the talk about a little bit of the difficulty of this game. Overall, this difficulty of this game. Overall, this difficulty of this game. Overall, this epilog, just this epilog because, um, epilog, just this epilog because, um, epilog, just this epilog because, um, acts one, I was kind of like put on my

acts one, I was kind of like put on my acts one, I was kind of like put on my ass immediately with those ghosts. First ass immediately with those ghosts. First ass immediately with those ghosts. First of all, I was told by people that, oh, of all, I was told by people that, oh, of all, I was told by people that, oh, you have to target the appendages, but I you have to target the appendages, but I you have to target the appendages, but I didn't know that you have to target the didn't know that you have to target the didn't know that you have to target the glowing appendage. And that's so hard to glowing appendage. And that's so hard to glowing appendage. And that's so hard to like see which one is the glowing one. like see which one is the glowing one. like see which one is the glowing one. And then you have to like toggle between And then you have to like toggle between And then you have to like toggle between all the appendages. That was chaotic and all the appendages. That was chaotic and all the appendages. That was chaotic and that was very annoying. But I eventually that was very annoying. But I eventually that was very annoying. But I eventually got it. That was annoying. That first got it. That was annoying. That first got it. That was annoying. That first fight with a void when you just still fight with a void when you just still fight with a void when you just still see it as the Vita and you start hearing see it as the Vita and you start hearing see it as the Vita and you start hearing voices coming from the Vita and you're voices coming from the Vita and you're voices coming from the Vita and you're like, "Holy what's going on?" when like, "Holy what's going on?" when like, "Holy what's going on?" when you fight it in Noctulum, that was also you fight it in Noctulum, that was also you fight it in Noctulum, that was also very difficult because um not only were very difficult because um not only were very difficult because um not only were you fighting void or the Vita, but you you fighting void or the Vita, but you you fighting void or the Vita, but you were fighting those ganglen spawns that were fighting those ganglen spawns that were fighting those ganglen spawns that he was like bringing out and sprouting he was like bringing out and sprouting he was like bringing out and sprouting out. And that that was very annoying. out. And that that was very annoying. out. And that that was very annoying. That was a very tough fight. And when I That was a very tough fight. And when I That was a very tough fight. And when I did all that, I was kind of humbled. I did all that, I was kind of humbled. I did all that, I was kind of humbled. I was like, "Oh, I I blaze through the was like, "Oh, I I blaze through the was like, "Oh, I I blaze through the base game. It was much easier this time base game. It was much easier this time base game. It was much easier this time cuz I was much stronger. But now I have cuz I was much stronger. But now I have cuz I was much stronger. But now I have to like I have to really crack down on to like I have to really crack down on to like I have to really crack down on like making my build ready for the like making my build ready for the like making my build ready for the eventual act three where I heard the eventual act three where I heard the eventual act three where I heard the final boss is tough. It's a very fun final boss is tough. It's a very fun final boss is tough. It's a very fun final boss but it's very difficult. So I final boss but it's very difficult. So I final boss but it's very difficult. So I was a little nervous about that. I kind was a little nervous about that. I kind was a little nervous about that. I kind of overprepared and we'll talk about the of overprepared and we'll talk about the of overprepared and we'll talk about the final boss difficulty in a bit. Act two final boss difficulty in a bit. Act two final boss difficulty in a bit. Act two was a breeze. I'm glad I went through was a breeze. I'm glad I went through was a breeze. I'm glad I went through act two with a breeze but act one kind act two with a breeze but act one kind act two with a breeze but act one kind of humbled me a little bit in terms of of humbled me a little bit in terms of of humbled me a little bit in terms of difficulty and gameplay. heading difficulty and gameplay. heading difficulty and gameplay. heading straight into act three and how I felt straight into act three and how I felt straight into act three and how I felt about act three.

So, heard the final boss was difficult. So, I really overprepared. Even that ghost I really overprepared. Even that ghost I really overprepared. Even that ghost encounter in NLA was really putting me encounter in NLA was really putting me encounter in NLA was really putting me on my ass for a bit and I was like, am I on my ass for a bit and I was like, am I on my ass for a bit and I was like, am I really ready for this? I don't know. I really ready for this? I don't know. I really ready for this? I don't know. I was like secondguing with the chat and was like secondguing with the chat and was like secondguing with the chat and they were like, you got this. You got they were like, you got this. You got they were like, you got this. You got this. You got this. And that encouraged this. You got this. And that encouraged this. You got this. And that encouraged me to push through to the end. And I was me to push through to the end. And I was me to push through to the end. And I was expecting us to get to the floating expecting us to get to the floating expecting us to get to the floating continents way earlier. So I was very continents way earlier. So I was very continents way earlier. So I was very surprised when we finished act one and surprised when we finished act one and surprised when we finished act one and act two, we still weren't able to go to act two, we still weren't able to go to act two, we still weren't able to go to the floating continents. I was expecting the floating continents. I was expecting the floating continents. I was expecting that we could just like fly all the way that we could just like fly all the way that we could just like fly all the way over there. And like no, that's not the over there. And like no, that's not the over there. And like no, that's not the case. Volatarus isn't necessarily a new case. Volatarus isn't necessarily a new case. Volatarus isn't necessarily a new area. It's sort of like a new dungeon.

area. It's sort of like a new dungeon. area. It's sort of like a new dungeon. And even in act three, we get through so And even in act three, we get through so And even in act three, we get through so much in act three. We have a little mini much in act three. We have a little mini much in act three. We have a little mini boss with the veto with a void and then boss with the veto with a void and then boss with the veto with a void and then he scatters us and then we're in he scatters us and then we're in he scatters us and then we're in Volatarus. And I was like, "Wow, it took Volatarus. And I was like, "Wow, it took Volatarus. And I was like, "Wow, it took a little bit longer to get here, but a little bit longer to get here, but a little bit longer to get here, but here we are. Here is the new area." And here we are. Here is the new area." And here we are. Here is the new area." And a lot of people in some of my previous a lot of people in some of my previous a lot of people in some of my previous streams were saying really bad gameplay, streams were saying really bad gameplay, streams were saying really bad gameplay, super annoying, super like super annoying, super like super annoying, super like underwhelming, not that much fun. And underwhelming, not that much fun. And underwhelming, not that much fun. And like even online, I hear people like like even online, I hear people like like even online, I hear people like trashing on Volitarus that whole part of trashing on Volitarus that whole part of trashing on Volitarus that whole part of the game. the game. the game. I didn't like love it love it, but I I didn't like love it love it, but I I didn't like love it love it, but I didn't hate it. I thought it was a didn't hate it. I thought it was a didn't hate it. I thought it was a pretty cool pre-final boss encounter. pretty cool pre-final boss encounter. pretty cool pre-final boss encounter. Like it reminded me of the um I don't Like it reminded me of the um I don't Like it reminded me of the um I don't remember what they're called in remember what they're called in remember what they're called in Xenogearss, but they're like the four Xenogearss, but they're like the four Xenogearss, but they're like the four angels you have to fight before Deus. angels you have to fight before Deus. angels you have to fight before Deus. And they're optional. You can just go And they're optional. You can just go And they're optional. You can just go straight to Deos and fight him at the straight to Deos and fight him at the straight to Deos and fight him at the end of Xenogars, or you can fight those end of Xenogars, or you can fight those end of Xenogars, or you can fight those four angels and Deos will be a much four angels and Deos will be a much four angels and Deos will be a much easier encounter. And that was the same easier encounter. And that was the same easier encounter. And that was the same thing with the spears here in thing with the spears here in thing with the spears here in Volotaurus. If you find all six spears, Volotaurus. If you find all six spears, Volotaurus. If you find all six spears, then the encounter with void will be a then the encounter with void will be a then the encounter with void will be a lot more manageable and a lot easier.

lot more manageable and a lot easier. lot more manageable and a lot easier. It's not going to be a piece of cake It's not going to be a piece of cake It's not going to be a piece of cake because it wasn't for me. It took me a because it wasn't for me. It took me a because it wasn't for me. It took me a while to beat him, as you guys might while to beat him, as you guys might while to beat him, as you guys might have seen in the stream. But it is a lot have seen in the stream. But it is a lot have seen in the stream. But it is a lot more manageable of an experience more manageable of an experience more manageable of an experience fighting void if you do those spears. fighting void if you do those spears. fighting void if you do those spears. And not only that, a lot of those spears And not only that, a lot of those spears And not only that, a lot of those spears were kind of like puzzles because some were kind of like puzzles because some were kind of like puzzles because some of them you could just find the of them you could just find the of them you could just find the terminal, get into the terminal, get terminal, get into the terminal, get terminal, get into the terminal, get some lore, and shoot the spear into some lore, and shoot the spear into some lore, and shoot the spear into voids. little like place where he was. voids. little like place where he was. voids. little like place where he was. But some of them you had to kind of go But some of them you had to kind of go But some of them you had to kind of go out of your way, find some like caves in out of your way, find some like caves in out of your way, find some like caves in these floating islands, find the these floating islands, find the these floating islands, find the terminals in there, or maybe solve a terminals in there, or maybe solve a terminals in there, or maybe solve a riddle or a puzzle. Like you might have riddle or a puzzle. Like you might have riddle or a puzzle. Like you might have to fight some enemies. You have to to fight some enemies. You have to to fight some enemies. You have to destroy a giant enemy which is above the destroy a giant enemy which is above the destroy a giant enemy which is above the spear, or you might have to fight the spear, or you might have to fight the spear, or you might have to fight the Trinity Golders who I Oh my god, you Trinity Golders who I Oh my god, you Trinity Golders who I Oh my god, you guys in chat were really roasting me guys in chat were really roasting me guys in chat were really roasting me about that. Basically, I thought that about that. Basically, I thought that about that. Basically, I thought that all the Trinity Gold ears were black and all the Trinity Gold ears were black and all the Trinity Gold ears were black and I didn't realize that they're actually I didn't realize that they're actually I didn't realize that they're actually green, purple, and orange and I was like green, purple, and orange and I was like green, purple, and orange and I was like hardcore face palming by the end because hardcore face palming by the end because hardcore face palming by the end because I didn't really get the reference I didn't really get the reference I didn't really get the reference because I was just looking out for the because I was just looking out for the because I was just looking out for the black gold ears and none of them were black gold ears and none of them were black gold ears and none of them were black in the first place. Like, what's black in the first place. Like, what's black in the first place. Like, what's wrong with me? Anyways, so that made wrong with me? Anyways, so that made wrong with me? Anyways, so that made Volarus a little more engaging. And not Volarus a little more engaging. And not Volarus a little more engaging. And not only that, you were looking for your new only that, you were looking for your new only that, you were looking for your new party members. You could obviously find party members. You could obviously find party members. You could obviously find all your party members if you want to. I all your party members if you want to. I all your party members if you want to. I just found the ones that I just just found the ones that I just just found the ones that I just encountered along the way. And on top of encountered along the way. And on top of encountered along the way. And on top of that, I prioritized finding the party that, I prioritized finding the party that, I prioritized finding the party members that I wanted to have in the

members that I wanted to have in the members that I wanted to have in the final boss. Like my final um kind of final boss. Like my final um kind of final boss. Like my final um kind of setup with party members was uh Gajar, setup with party members was uh Gajar, setup with party members was uh Gajar, Lisil, and Neil. And once I had those Lisil, and Neil. And once I had those Lisil, and Neil. And once I had those three, I was prioritizing the spears. three, I was prioritizing the spears. three, I was prioritizing the spears. Once I got all the spears, I would like Once I got all the spears, I would like Once I got all the spears, I would like get party members as I find them. I get party members as I find them. I get party members as I find them. I wouldn't ignore anyone, but I didn't get wouldn't ignore anyone, but I didn't get wouldn't ignore anyone, but I didn't get everyone. Like, I missed a handful of everyone. Like, I missed a handful of everyone. Like, I missed a handful of party members that I could have gotten, party members that I could have gotten, party members that I could have gotten, but I just didn't. And then I was ready but I just didn't. And then I was ready but I just didn't. And then I was ready for the final boss. But yeah, this whole for the final boss. But yeah, this whole for the final boss. But yeah, this whole epilog in general was just way longer epilog in general was just way longer epilog in general was just way longer than I thought it would be. And it's than I thought it would be. And it's than I thought it would be. And it's filled with so much more content than I filled with so much more content than I filled with so much more content than I expected. There are two new affinity expected. There are two new affinity expected. There are two new affinity missions with Al. There are those like missions with Al. There are those like missions with Al. There are those like busy work affinity missions that you busy work affinity missions that you busy work affinity missions that you have to do or like affinity missions. I have to do or like affinity missions. I have to do or like affinity missions. I guess they're like kind of like infinity guess they're like kind of like infinity guess they're like kind of like infinity missions like baked into the main story missions like baked into the main story missions like baked into the main story quest. There are three new chapters. quest. There are three new chapters. quest. There are three new chapters. They're called act one, act 2, act They're called act one, act 2, act They're called act one, act 2, act three. I don't know why they didn't just three. I don't know why they didn't just three. I don't know why they didn't just call it act uh chapter 13, 14, and 15. call it act uh chapter 13, 14, and 15. call it act uh chapter 13, 14, and 15. Like each of them are as long if not Like each of them are as long if not Like each of them are as long if not more longer than normal Xenolade X story more longer than normal Xenolade X story more longer than normal Xenolade X story chapters. So that's one thing. All the chapters. So that's one thing. All the chapters. So that's one thing. All the lore we were getting, all this amazing lore we were getting, all this amazing lore we were getting, all this amazing artwork we were getting surrounding that artwork we were getting surrounding that artwork we were getting surrounding that lore. And not only that, within lore. And not only that, within lore. And not only that, within Volatarus, we got more lore about the Volatarus, we got more lore about the Volatarus, we got more lore about the Samarians. And that got me very excited Samarians. And that got me very excited Samarians. And that got me very excited because that was one thing that I really because that was one thing that I really because that was one thing that I really wanted to experience going into this wanted to experience going into this wanted to experience going into this game. Give us more lore about the game. Give us more lore about the game. Give us more lore about the Samarians. That was the biggest question Samarians. That was the biggest question Samarians. That was the biggest question I had with Xenolade Chronicles X on the I had with Xenolade Chronicles X on the I had with Xenolade Chronicles X on the Wii U and throughout the base game. And Wii U and throughout the base game. And Wii U and throughout the base game. And it seemed to be setting that up in the

it seemed to be setting that up in the it seemed to be setting that up in the epilogue with what happened to Elma's epilogue with what happened to Elma's epilogue with what happened to Elma's planet. Uh what Void originated from. planet. Uh what Void originated from. planet. Uh what Void originated from. And then once we're in Volatarus, we are And then once we're in Volatarus, we are And then once we're in Volatarus, we are understanding that this is Void's understanding that this is Void's understanding that this is Void's prison. The uh Samarians put him in here prison. The uh Samarians put him in here prison. The uh Samarians put him in here and all that stuff. And these like and all that stuff. And these like and all that stuff. And these like fedters or these um kind of like spears fedters or these um kind of like spears fedters or these um kind of like spears are like him being put in place and kind are like him being put in place and kind are like him being put in place and kind of restrained. And so the final boss, of restrained. And so the final boss, of restrained. And so the final boss, you guys saw it was a little you guys saw it was a little you guys saw it was a little intimidating. It was a little tough, but intimidating. It was a little tough, but intimidating. It was a little tough, but it was it was an experience, guys. Like it was it was an experience, guys.

I was like, "I I don't know if I can do this like, "I I don't know if I can do this like, "I I don't know if I can do this any longer." And I was like, "Do I just any longer." And I was like, "Do I just any longer." And I was like, "Do I just throw in the towel here and then come throw in the towel here and then come throw in the towel here and then come back later for another stream and do it back later for another stream and do it back later for another stream and do it again?" And I I was running through all again?" And I I was running through all again?" And I I was running through all these like options in my head, but I was these like options in my head, but I was these like options in my head, but I was like, everyone in chat was being very like, everyone in chat was being very like, everyone in chat was being very encouraging and I appreciate that. encouraging and I appreciate that. encouraging and I appreciate that.

After making a lot of mistakes in the After making a lot of mistakes in the After making a lot of mistakes in the other attempts at the final boss, I other attempts at the final boss, I other attempts at the final boss, I finally beat him and we got a lot of finally beat him and we got a lot of finally beat him and we got a lot of like closure to Xenolade X. We got a lot like closure to Xenolade X. We got a lot like closure to Xenolade X. We got a lot of closure to the Samarians. We got a of closure to the Samarians. We got a of closure to the Samarians. We got a lot of closure to so many things in the lot of closure to so many things in the lot of closure to so many things in the following cut scenes. So, one thing that following cut scenes. So, one thing that following cut scenes. So, one thing that was like kind of like a little bit was like kind of like a little bit was like kind of like a little bit disappointing for me, as you guys know, disappointing for me, as you guys know, disappointing for me, as you guys know, I wanted to have that tandem Aries I wanted to have that tandem Aries I wanted to have that tandem Aries moment at the end of the game where two moment at the end of the game where two moment at the end of the game where two people get inside the Aries, pilot it people get inside the Aries, pilot it people get inside the Aries, pilot it together like an Uro Boros, and just together like an Uro Boros, and just together like an Uro Boros, and just wreck havoc like crazy. And I wanted wreck havoc like crazy. And I wanted wreck havoc like crazy. And I wanted those people to be Elma and Aloise those people to be Elma and Aloise those people to be Elma and Aloise because like I said, I was hoping that because like I said, I was hoping that because like I said, I was hoping that they would have that kind of connection they would have that kind of connection they would have that kind of connection that brings them together to like like that brings them together to like like that brings them together to like like and they come together, pilot Aries and they come together, pilot Aries and they come together, pilot Aries together. I don't remember exactly how together. I don't remember exactly how together. I don't remember exactly how the cutscene played out, but I feel like the cutscene played out, but I feel like the cutscene played out, but I feel like it was actually you as Cross and Al

it was actually you as Cross and Al it was actually you as Cross and Al together in the skull, which was still together in the skull, which was still together in the skull, which was still very cool. made for a very awesome very cool. made for a very awesome very cool. made for a very awesome moment, very awesome victory lap against moment, very awesome victory lap against moment, very awesome victory lap against Void, which was very awesome. But I was Void, which was very awesome. But I was Void, which was very awesome. But I was still hoping that Elma would have like still hoping that Elma would have like still hoping that Elma would have like some sort of incorporation into all of some sort of incorporation into all of some sort of incorporation into all of that because the Aries is very closely that because the Aries is very closely that because the Aries is very closely tied to Elma as well. So, slight little tied to Elma as well. So, slight little tied to Elma as well. So, slight little upset over there. Nothing too huge. We upset over there. Nothing too huge. We upset over there. Nothing too huge. We got we got to see a little more of Lao got we got to see a little more of Lao got we got to see a little more of Lao as well. We got to get some closure with as well. We got to get some closure with as well. We got to get some closure with Lynn and Lao. And we understood that a Lynn and Lao. And we understood that a Lynn and Lao. And we understood that a lot of what Aries's cores were were just lot of what Aries's cores were were just lot of what Aries's cores were were just the power of life within the collective the power of life within the collective the power of life within the collective unconscious within people unconscious within people unconscious within people living pe people's past lives, people's living pe people's past lives, people's living pe people's past lives, people's current lives, people across the current lives, people across the current lives, people across the multiverse. Of course, um I I need to multiverse. Of course, um I I need to multiverse. Of course, um I I need to brush up on a lot of this. I need to go brush up on a lot of this. I need to go brush up on a lot of this. I need to go back and watch the cut scenes again, but back and watch the cut scenes again, but back and watch the cut scenes again, but that was a very nice moment as well. And that was a very nice moment as well. And that was a very nice moment as well. And then of course we got a really badass then of course we got a really badass then of course we got a really badass cut scene with everyone leaving Meera on cut scene with everyone leaving Meera on cut scene with everyone leaving Meera on the white whale too and then Mero was the white whale too and then Mero was the white whale too and then Mero was gone. I was I was very sad to see that gone. I was I was very sad to see that gone. I was I was very sad to see that Mero is officially gone and then it Mero is officially gone and then it Mero is officially gone and then it seemed like Cross was dead as well which seemed like Cross was dead as well which seemed like Cross was dead as well which I don't know that that felt unnecessary.

I don't know that that felt unnecessary. I don't know that that felt unnecessary. It's whatever. It's just um some It's whatever. It's just um some It's whatever. It's just um some unnecessarily added drama but it's unnecessarily added drama but it's unnecessarily added drama but it's whatever. I don't I don't really care whatever. I don't I don't really care whatever. I don't I don't really care about that but it's whatever. But yeah, about that but it's whatever. But yeah, about that but it's whatever. But yeah, Meera being gone forever dematerialized. Meera being gone forever dematerialized. Meera being gone forever dematerialized. probably the um thing I feel the most probably the um thing I feel the most probably the um thing I feel the most negative about in the epilogue. Um we we negative about in the epilogue. Um we we negative about in the epilogue. Um we we did get more answers as to why the did get more answers as to why the did get more answers as to why the ghosts were there, why the ghosts were ghosts were there, why the ghosts were ghosts were there, why the ghosts were doing what they were doing, but I was doing what they were doing, but I was doing what they were doing, but I was just like, "Oh man, I'm going to miss just like, "Oh man, I'm going to miss just like, "Oh man, I'm going to miss Meera. I'm going to miss that place. It Meera. I'm going to miss that place. It Meera. I'm going to miss that place. It was like a was like another home to me was like a was like another home to me was like a was like another home to me in Xenolade." I I I really really love in Xenolade." I I I really really love in Xenolade." I I I really really love that world and it sucks that we won't be that world and it sucks that we won't be that world and it sucks that we won't be able to go back in a potential sequel. able to go back in a potential sequel. able to go back in a potential sequel. But yeah, um the good thing is my uh But yeah, um the good thing is my uh But yeah, um the good thing is my uh hope for Xenolade Chronicles X's sequel, hope for Xenolade Chronicles X's sequel, hope for Xenolade Chronicles X's sequel, which I'll probably make some videos on which I'll probably make some videos on which I'll probably make some videos on that as well, is that they really tap that as well, is that they really tap that as well, is that they really tap into space travel. Space travel is into space travel. Space travel is into space travel. Space travel is something I really want the Xenolade something I really want the Xenolade something I really want the Xenolade series to tap into with uh the future of series to tap into with uh the future of series to tap into with uh the future of the series with X as well as um Xenolade the series with X as well as um Xenolade the series with X as well as um Xenolade 4 maybe. I'm I'm very excited for a lot 4 maybe. I'm I'm very excited for a lot 4 maybe.

Um, we saw a ahead of myself here. Um, we saw a ahead of myself here. Um, we saw a freaking conduit, guys. Oh my god, we freaking conduit, guys. Oh my god, we freaking conduit, guys. Oh my god, we saw a conduit. And that ties back to one saw a conduit. And that ties back to one saw a conduit. And that ties back to one of my hopes. I was like, what if any of my hopes. I was like, what if any of my hopes. I was like, what if any what if any and all of this is related what if any and all of this is related what if any and all of this is related to the conduit in the Zohar? We saw a to the conduit in the Zohar? We saw a to the conduit in the Zohar? We saw a conduit. It doesn't seem to be the

It is purple. Why is it different. It is purple. Why is it different. It is purple. Why is it purple? I have questions. I have purple? I have questions. I have purple? I have questions. I have theories. That's for another time. But theories. That's for another time. But theories. That's for another time. But oh my god, when I found out the history oh my god, when I found out the history oh my god, when I found out the history of Void, who he once was. He was a of Void, who he once was. He was a of Void, who he once was. He was a Samarian scientist. I was making Samarian scientist. I was making Samarian scientist. I was making connections to Klouse and to Krellian connections to Klouse and to Krellian connections to Klouse and to Krellian and all that stuff. And I was like, this and all that stuff. And I was like, this and all that stuff. And I was like, this is what I wanted. Glimpse of his past. is what I wanted. Glimpse of his past. is what I wanted. Glimpse of his past. his gosh. Oh my god. Oh my god. Oh, he was a gosh. Oh my god. Oh my god. Oh, he was a certified genius obsessed with studying certified genius obsessed with studying certified genius obsessed with studying the ultimate matter, the conduit. Oh my conduit. Oh my god. This is what I wanted from Xenolade god. This is what I wanted from Xenolade god. This is what I wanted from Xenolade Chronicles X. This is what I wanted to Chronicles X. This is what I wanted to Chronicles X. This is what I wanted to see from the great one. I wanted the see from the great one. I wanted the see from the great one. I wanted the great one to be a person, just a normal great one to be a person, just a normal great one to be a person, just a normal person, a smart guy like and him to just person, a smart guy like and him to just person, a smart guy like and him to just ascend to godhood like a Krellian, like ascend to godhood like a Krellian, like ascend to godhood like a Krellian, like an Amalus, like a Klouse. And I wanted an Amalus, like a Klouse. And I wanted an Amalus, like a Klouse. And I wanted his hubris to result in the absolute his hubris to result in the absolute his hubris to result in the absolute chaos that was Earth's destruction. the chaos that was Earth's destruction. the chaos that was Earth's destruction. the Ganglen, the formation of the Ganglen, Ganglen, the formation of the Ganglen, Ganglen, the formation of the Ganglen, the formation of all these like the formation of all these like the formation of all these like villainous federations within the villainous federations within the villainous federations within the Galactic Empire. And that's what Galactic Empire. And that's what Galactic Empire. And that's what happened. That's what we saw. That's happened. That's what we saw. That's happened. That's what we saw. That's what we learned. And from him sprouted what we learned. And from him sprouted what we learned. And from him sprouted the Ghosts, and all these problems that

the Ghosts, and all these problems that the Ghosts, and all these problems that led to the destruction of Elma's world, led to the destruction of Elma's world, led to the destruction of Elma's world, the destruction of Earth, the the destruction of Earth, the the destruction of Earth, the destruction of Meera. It all just made destruction of Meera. It all just made destruction of Meera. It all just made so much sense, and I was very, very, so much sense, and I was very, very, so much sense, and I was very, very, very, very, very happy to see it all. very, very, very happy to see it all. very, very, very happy to see it all. And I'm still taking in a lot of this. I And I'm still taking in a lot of this. I And I'm still taking in a lot of this. I literally just beat the game a few days literally just beat the game a few days literally just beat the game a few days back. Like I said, I need to go back and back. Like I said, I need to go back and back. Like I said, I need to go back and watch a lot of these cut scenes and I watch a lot of these cut scenes and I watch a lot of these cut scenes and I need to like digest a lot of this stuff, need to like digest a lot of this stuff, need to like digest a lot of this stuff, but I'm really happy with a lot of these but I'm really happy with a lot of these but I'm really happy with a lot of these reveals. When it comes to the future of reveals. When it comes to the future of reveals. When it comes to the future of Xenolade Chronicles X, there's so much Xenolade Chronicles X, there's so much Xenolade Chronicles X, there's so much we can learn about the world outside of we can learn about the world outside of we can learn about the world outside of Meera. Like it is it sucks that Meera is Meera. Like it is it sucks that Meera is Meera. Like it is it sucks that Meera is gone, but we got the clue system. We got gone, but we got the clue system. We got gone, but we got the clue system. We got Samar that we're going to definitely Samar that we're going to definitely Samar that we're going to definitely learn more about. There is such a very learn more about. There is such a very learn more about. There is such a very interesting group of people with so many interesting group of people with so many interesting group of people with so many interesting bits of lore that I've interesting bits of lore that I've interesting bits of lore that I've wanted to learn about and we're probably wanted to learn about and we're probably wanted to learn about and we're probably going to learn more about both the going to learn more about both the going to learn more about both the Clurans and the Samarians that were set Clurans and the Samarians that were set Clurans and the Samarians that were set up not only in this epilogue but in Neil up not only in this epilogue but in Neil up not only in this epilogue but in Neil Nell's affinity missions as well. Nell's affinity missions as well. Nell's affinity missions as well. So I I have more content and theories So I I have more content and theories So I I have more content and theories and discussions with my friends that I and discussions with my friends that I and discussions with my friends that I want to get into about that as well. But want to get into about that as well. But want to get into about that as well. But yeah, um not only that, but with how far yeah, um not only that, but with how far yeah, um not only that, but with how far the reach of the rifts and the nexus the reach of the rifts and the nexus the reach of the rifts and the nexus goes, we're going to probably learn goes, we're going to probably learn goes, we're going to probably learn about new alien races, new xeno life about new alien races, new xeno life about new alien races, new xeno life forms, and we're also probably going to forms, and we're also probably going to forms, and we're also probably going to see everyone that we've kind of um see everyone that we've kind of um see everyone that we've kind of um brought together to new LA to build this brought together to new LA to build this brought together to new LA to build this new uh life, to build this new future new uh life, to build this new future new uh life, to build this new future together. all these you know life forms

together. all these you know life forms together. all these you know life forms like the manon the nopon the prone the like the manon the nopon the prone the like the manon the nopon the prone the orphanian all these people together orphanian all these people together orphanian all these people together we're going to forge a new future with we're going to forge a new future with we're going to forge a new future with them because as you see like we we're them because as you see like we we're them because as you see like we we're traveling in the white wheel too we see traveling in the white wheel too we see traveling in the white wheel too we see a new planet and that's that's our new a new planet and that's that's our new a new planet and that's that's our new home cross is alive um Al is alive home cross is alive um Al is alive home cross is alive um Al is alive everyone's with us and we got everyone everyone's with us and we got everyone everyone's with us and we got everyone together we got everyone on new LA and together we got everyone on new LA and together we got everyone on new LA and on Mera to come with us to this new home on Mera to come with us to this new home on Mera to come with us to this new home and what was really interesting is we and what was really interesting is we and what was really interesting is we saw like that circular dome of the world saw like that circular dome of the world saw like that circular dome of the world and I was like, "Oh my god, they cannot and I was like, "Oh my god, they cannot and I was like, "Oh my god, they cannot be doing this. They cannot be doing be doing this. They cannot be doing be doing this. They cannot be doing this. They cannot be doing this." this. They cannot be doing this." this. They cannot be doing this." Because I again I haven't played Because I again I haven't played Because I again I haven't played Zenosaga yet, but I've seen that scene Zenosaga yet, but I've seen that scene Zenosaga yet, but I've seen that scene where you see the circular dome. Of where you see the circular dome. Of where you see the circular dome. Of course, I played Future Redeemed. I was course, I played Future Redeemed. I was course, I played Future Redeemed. I was like, "What are they doing here?" And like, "What are they doing here?" And like, "What are they doing here?" And then eventually we see the planet and then eventually we see the planet and then eventually we see the planet and the planet has rings. And that's when it the planet has rings. And that's when it the planet has rings. And that's when it hit me. I was like, "Ah, I see what hit me. I was like, "Ah, I see what hit me. I was like, "Ah, I see what they're doing. They're trying to throw they're doing. They're trying to throw they're doing. They're trying to throw us off here. They're trying to throw us us off here. They're trying to throw us us off here. They're trying to throw us off and make us believe that the white off and make us believe that the white off and make us believe that the white whale 2 was that blue dot we see flying whale 2 was that blue dot we see flying whale 2 was that blue dot we see flying down onto Earth at the end of Future down onto Earth at the end of Future down onto Earth at the end of Future Redeemed with the combined worlds of uh Redeemed with the combined worlds of uh Redeemed with the combined worlds of uh Bionis and all rest at the end of Future Bionis and all rest at the end of Future Bionis and all rest at the end of Future Redeemed. I don't think that this new Redeemed. I don't think that this new Redeemed. I don't think that this new world that we are seeing at the end of X world that we are seeing at the end of X world that we are seeing at the end of X definitive edition with the White Whale definitive edition with the White Whale definitive edition with the White Whale 2 is the same world. I think that it is 2 is the same world. I think that it is 2 is the same world. I think that it is a entirely different world and a whole a entirely different world and a whole a entirely different world and a whole new like dimension or a whole new

new like dimension or a whole new new like dimension or a whole new universe. But I see what they're trying universe. But I see what they're trying universe. But I see what they're trying to do. I I see that they're trying to to do. I I see that they're trying to to do. I I see that they're trying to confuse us here. They're trying to draw confuse us here. They're trying to draw confuse us here. They're trying to draw parallels to Future Redeemed to Zeno parallels to Future Redeemed to Zeno parallels to Future Redeemed to Zeno Saga and be like, "Oh, is this the same Saga and be like, "Oh, is this the same Saga and be like, "Oh, is this the same world? Is this the same place?" But it's world? Is this the same place?" But it's world? Is this the same place?" But it's I don't think it is. And it's because of I don't think it is. And it's because of I don't think it is. And it's because of the rings. That slight detail there is the rings. That slight detail there is the rings. That slight detail there is what makes it a new uh world. And I I what makes it a new uh world. And I I what makes it a new uh world. And I I it's such a modeloft thing to like give it's such a modeloft thing to like give it's such a modeloft thing to like give us uh some hints like that and throw off us uh some hints like that and throw off us uh some hints like that and throw off our um theory crafting a little bit like our um theory crafting a little bit like our um theory crafting a little bit like that here and there. So that's um one that here and there. So that's um one that here and there. So that's um one really big revelation we got in this as really big revelation we got in this as really big revelation we got in this as well. I don't know if anything that we well. I don't know if anything that we well. I don't know if anything that we saw here really hard deconfirms Zeno saw here really hard deconfirms Zeno saw here really hard deconfirms Zeno Saga's canonidity to the Zeno multiverse Saga's canonidity to the Zeno multiverse Saga's canonidity to the Zeno multiverse and to even the Xenolade Chronicles and to even the Xenolade Chronicles and to even the Xenolade Chronicles games because a lot of the rift in games because a lot of the rift in games because a lot of the rift in between a lot of the ghosts still between a lot of the ghosts still between a lot of the ghosts still resemble a lot of things that people resemble a lot of things that people resemble a lot of things that people have notably said are in Zeno Saga and have notably said are in Zeno Saga and have notably said are in Zeno Saga and like I said this um white whale like I said this um white whale like I said this um white whale approaching this new world it's probably approaching this new world it's probably approaching this new world it's probably not the exact same thing that we Future not the exact same thing that we Future not the exact same thing that we Future redeemed. So future redeem thing could redeemed. So future redeem thing could redeemed. So future redeem thing could be still Cosmos coming down to earth.

be still Cosmos coming down to earth. be still Cosmos coming down to earth. But yeah, I'm I'm very excited for the But yeah, I'm I'm very excited for the But yeah, I'm I'm very excited for the future of the series, for the future of future of the series, for the future of future of the series, for the future of Xenolade, for the future of Zeno as Xenolade, for the future of Zeno as Xenolade, for the future of Zeno as well. Just I I I truly believe I have well. Just I I I truly believe I have well. Just I I I truly believe I have always believed before I even beat the always believed before I even beat the always believed before I even beat the Wii U version of X that we're going to Wii U version of X that we're going to Wii U version of X that we're going to get a sequel to X. And with everything get a sequel to X. And with everything get a sequel to X. And with everything set up with Samar, the Clurans, set up with Samar, the Clurans, set up with Samar, the Clurans, everything like that, everything that's everything like that, everything that's everything like that, everything that's set up, I wholeheartedly believe we're set up, I wholeheartedly believe we're set up, I wholeheartedly believe we're getting a sequel to X. And I feel like getting a sequel to X. And I feel like getting a sequel to X. And I feel like the sequel to X and Xenolade Chronicles the sequel to X and Xenolade Chronicles the sequel to X and Xenolade Chronicles 4 will have a lot of multiversal tie-ins 4 will have a lot of multiversal tie-ins 4 will have a lot of multiversal tie-ins that we will see. And I'm hoping to see that we will see. And I'm hoping to see that we will see. And I'm hoping to see some more space travel. I'm hoping to some more space travel. I'm hoping to some more space travel. I'm hoping to see more of a lot of that. But overall, see more of a lot of that. But overall, see more of a lot of that. But overall, I really enjoyed my experience with this I really enjoyed my experience with this I really enjoyed my experience with this epilog. I feel like a lot of people who epilog. I feel like a lot of people who epilog. I feel like a lot of people who maybe weren't maybe weren't maybe weren't really happy with what we saw here and really happy with what we saw here and really happy with what we saw here and weren't really um satisfied with what we weren't really um satisfied with what we weren't really um satisfied with what we saw here um maybe either expected too saw here um maybe either expected too saw here um maybe either expected too much or were really tied into a lot of much or were really tied into a lot of much or were really tied into a lot of what was happening in Meera. So the what was happening in Meera. So the what was happening in Meera. So the whole like dematerialization and the whole like dematerialization and the whole like dematerialization and the disappearance of Meera probably disappearance of Meera probably disappearance of Meera probably incorporated into a lot of that stuff.

incorporated into a lot of that stuff. incorporated into a lot of that stuff. Redcons is another thing. I talked about Redcons is another thing. I talked about Redcons is another thing. I talked about that a little bit. I don't believe they that a little bit. I don't believe they that a little bit. I don't believe they were too bad. I might have to go in and were too bad.
