they weren't selling and RPG fans like they weren't selling and RPG fans like me we were pissed we were begging and we me we were pissed we were begging and we me we were pissed we were begging and we were pleading for these games to come were pleading for these games to come were pleading for these games to come out and that produced something called out and that produced something called out and that produced something called operation rainfall which I was a part of operation rainfall which I was a part of operation rainfall which I was a part of I was a pretty big part of it and I was I was a pretty big part of it and I was I was a pretty big part of it and I was very very very vocal about it we were very very very vocal about it we were very very very vocal about it we were looking for three games coming out we're looking for three games coming out we're looking for three games coming out we're looking for Xenoblade Chronicles the looking for Xenoblade Chronicles the looking for Xenoblade Chronicles the last story and Pandora's Tower and we last story and Pandora's Tower and we last story and Pandora's Tower and we wanted them badly mostly because wanted them badly mostly because wanted them badly mostly because Xenoblade was critically acclaimed and Xenoblade was critically acclaimed and Xenoblade was critically acclaimed and last story was sakaguchi supposed last last story was sakaguchi supposed last last story was sakaguchi supposed last story and Pandora's tire was just kind story and Pandora's tire was just kind story and Pandora's tire was just kind of like odd and it had pretty good of like odd and it had pretty good of like odd and it had pretty good reviews over in Japan so we wanted them reviews over in Japan so we wanted them reviews over in Japan so we wanted them but Nintendo of America was refusing to but Nintendo of America was refusing to but Nintendo of America was refusing to localize these RPGs they were pissing me localize these RPGs they were pissing me localize these RPGs they were pissing me off and even though Nintendo of Europe off and even though Nintendo of Europe off and even though Nintendo of Europe did show interest Nintendo of America did show interest Nintendo of America did show interest Nintendo of America said no ma'am we aren't doing it so said no ma'am we aren't doing it so said no ma'am we aren't doing it so eventually Nintendo of Europe kind of eventually Nintendo of Europe kind of eventually Nintendo of Europe kind of took over and was like okay well then we took over and was like okay well then we took over and was like okay well then we will localize Xenoblade Chronicles and will localize Xenoblade Chronicles and will localize Xenoblade Chronicles and Nintendo of America still said after Nintendo of America still said after Nintendo of America still said after Nintendo of Europe localized it and Nintendo of Europe localized it and Nintendo of Europe localized it and released it in English Nintendo of released it in English Nintendo of released it in English Nintendo of America still said nope y'all aren't America still said nope y'all aren't America still said nope y'all aren't getting it so you know what I did I went getting it so you know what I did I went getting it so you know what I did I went and I imported Xenoblade Chronicles from and I imported Xenoblade Chronicles from and I imported Xenoblade Chronicles from Europe and I modded my Wii there were Europe and I modded my Wii there were Europe and I modded my Wii there were articles on koku and other websites on articles on koku and other websites on articles on koku and other websites on how to mod the Wii because people were how to mod the Wii because people were how to mod the Wii because people were freaking upset then we began a letter freaking upset then we began a letter freaking upset then we began a letter writing campaign and emails I wrote writing campaign and emails I wrote writing campaign and emails I wrote physical letters and mailed them off to physical letters and mailed them off to physical letters and mailed them off to the Nintendo of America headquarters I the Nintendo of America headquarters I the Nintendo of America headquarters I wrote emails we did both so they would

wrote emails we did both so they would wrote emails we did both so they would not ignore us we even went ahead and we not ignore us we even went ahead and we not ignore us we even went ahead and we put in pre-orders on Amazon there was a put in pre-orders on Amazon there was a put in pre-orders on Amazon there was a placeholder on Amazon and we put placeholder on Amazon and we put placeholder on Amazon and we put pre-orders in on this placeholder on pre-orders in on this placeholder on pre-orders in on this placeholder on Amazon and it hit number one in video Amazon and it hit number one in video Amazon and it hit number one in video games even beating out Ocarina of Time games even beating out Ocarina of Time games even beating out Ocarina of Time 3D even beating out Call of Duty it hit 3D even beating out Call of Duty it hit 3D even beating out Call of Duty it hit number one on the Amazon pre-order list number one on the Amazon pre-order list number one on the Amazon pre-order list it was the first true RPG successful it was the first true RPG successful it was the first true RPG successful localization campaign cuz remember all localization campaign cuz remember all localization campaign cuz remember all the other campaigns like those for the other campaigns like those for the other campaigns like those for Dragon Quest and mother failed then Dragon Quest and mother failed then Dragon Quest and mother failed then there was donation campaigns you got there was donation campaigns you got there was donation campaigns you got wallpaper you got slip covers of which I wallpaper you got slip covers of which I wallpaper you got slip covers of which I have two right here because I donated have two right here because I donated have two right here because I donated quite a bit of money probably too much quite a bit of money probably too much quite a bit of money probably too much money to this campaign but it was money to this campaign but it was money to this campaign but it was totally totally totally worth it for me totally totally totally worth it for me totally totally totally worth it for me I even went so far uh I I won a contest I even went so far uh I I won a contest I even went so far uh I I won a contest while I was doing I want a contest for a while I was doing I want a contest for a while I was doing I want a contest for a um collector's edition of The Last Story um collector's edition of The Last Story um collector's edition of The Last Story which I still have here sealed from which I still have here sealed from which I still have here sealed from operation rainfall once we went ahead operation rainfall once we went ahead operation rainfall once we went ahead and we got Xenoblade Chronicles and and we got Xenoblade Chronicles and and we got Xenoblade Chronicles and these other games localized we moved on these other games localized we moved on these other games localized we moved on to some other games that weren't being to some other games that weren't being to some other games that weren't being localized you know like Tales of Grace's localized you know like Tales of Grace's localized you know like Tales of Grace's F over on the PS3 and then ever since F over on the PS3 and then ever since F over on the PS3 and then ever since then we've gotten every single Tales then we've gotten every single Tales then we've gotten every single Tales games since too because before that games since too because before that games since too because before that Tales games weren't being localized Tales games weren't being localized Tales games weren't being localized either on the PS2 so this campaign was either on the PS2 so this campaign was either on the PS2 so this campaign was hugely successful and a huge part of RPG hugely successful and a huge part of RPG hugely successful and a huge part of RPG history and I just think that if we're history and I just think that if we're history and I just think that if we're going to be discussing Xenoblade going to be discussing Xenoblade going to be discussing Xenoblade Chronicles we need to discuss this

the series has been very cool as I've the series has been very cool as I've grown Takahashi has grown as a writer grown Takahashi has grown as a writer grown Takahashi has grown as a writer and a director and the entire team is and a director and the entire team is and a director and the entire team is grown too I think it's all Best grown too I think it's all Best grown too I think it's all Best exemplified by my favorite aspect of exemplified by my favorite aspect of exemplified by my favorite aspect of Xenoblade Chronicles which is how the Xenoblade Chronicles which is how the Xenoblade Chronicles which is how the series handles its character series handles its character series handles its character interactions so this isn't one interactions so this isn't one interactions so this isn't one particular scene or one particular particular scene or one particular particular scene or one particular character it's just the way in which character it's just the way in which character it's just the way in which Takahashi chooses to let his characters Takahashi chooses to let his characters Takahashi chooses to let his characters interact with each other I feel like in interact with each other I feel like in interact with each other I feel like in most Games character development might most Games character development might most Games character development might happen but it's almost always happen but it's almost always happen but it's almost always subservient to advancing the plot and in subservient to advancing the plot and in subservient to advancing the plot and in some ways I can see why most games do some ways I can see why most games do some ways I can see why most games do that after all you have a giant Story to that after all you have a giant Story to that after all you have a giant Story to Tell in a jrpg and telling that story Tell in a jrpg and telling that story Tell in a jrpg and telling that story costs a lot of time and money if you costs a lot of time and money if you costs a lot of time and money if you spend time developing your characters in spend time developing your characters in spend time developing your characters in a way that isn't explicitly moving the a way that isn't explicitly moving the a way that isn't explicitly moving the plot forward as well it's just going to plot forward as well it's just going to plot forward as well it's just going to end up costing you more but Takahashi end up costing you more but Takahashi end up costing you more but Takahashi doesn't seem to see it that way he doesn't seem to see it that way he doesn't seem to see it that way he understands that in order for us to understands that in order for us to understands that in order for us to truly feel connected to the story we truly feel connected to the story we truly feel connected to the story we need to truly feel connected to the need to truly feel connected to the need to truly feel connected to the characters this style of his is present characters this style of his is present characters this style of his is present in basically all of his games but I in basically all of his games but I in basically all of his games but I really only first identified it in really only first identified it in really only first identified it in Xenoblade Chronicles 3 a large part of Xenoblade Chronicles 3 a large part of Xenoblade Chronicles 3 a large part of the journey that characters are going on the journey that characters are going on the journey that characters are going on together is spent with them talking to together is spent with them talking to together is spent with them talking to one another and getting to know each one another and getting to know each one another and getting to know each other this is particularly important for other this is particularly important for other this is particularly important for them because they start out on opposing them because they start out on opposing them because they start out on opposing sides in a horrible War trying to force sides in a horrible War trying to force sides in a horrible War trying to force these characters to get along for the these characters to get along for the these characters to get along for the sake of the story would have been the sake of the story would have been the sake of the story would have been the worst thing the writers could have done

worst thing the writers could have done worst thing the writers could have done instead they let their tensions simmer instead they let their tensions simmer instead they let their tensions simmer and occasionally boil over and then with and occasionally boil over and then with and occasionally boil over and then with time we get to see them making time we get to see them making time we get to see them making legitimate connections with each other legitimate connections with each other legitimate connections with each other and it's all because Takahashi is and it's all because Takahashi is and it's all because Takahashi is willing to Simply let his characters willing to Simply let his characters willing to Simply let his characters spend time spend time spend time together after recognizing it in together after recognizing it in together after recognizing it in Xenoblade 3 I realized it's something Xenoblade 3 I realized it's something Xenoblade 3 I realized it's something that's always been present in his work that's always been present in his work that's always been present in his work that Revelation has actually helped me that Revelation has actually helped me that Revelation has actually helped me appreciate the entire Zeno series even appreciate the entire Zeno series even appreciate the entire Zeno series even more including Xeno Saga and Xeno gears more including Xeno Saga and Xeno gears more including Xeno Saga and Xeno gears it's a technique that feels pretty it's a technique that feels pretty it's a technique that feels pretty standard in films and television but standard in films and television but standard in films and television but it's remarkably rare in video games and it's remarkably rare in video games and it's remarkably rare in video games and I really hope other game writers see I really hope other game writers see I really hope other game writers see this and learn from it hey everybody this and learn from it hey everybody this and learn from it hey everybody it's fem trooper and thank you Nish for it's fem trooper and thank you Nish for it's fem trooper and thank you Nish for having me on today because I really like having me on today because I really like having me on today because I really like this topic of just talking about this topic of just talking about this topic of just talking about memories from a certain franchise or a memories from a certain franchise or a memories from a certain franchise or a certain game because man there's so many certain game because man there's so many certain game because man there's so many and with Xenoblade Chronicles I have two and with Xenoblade Chronicles I have two and with Xenoblade Chronicles I have two so I'll try and be quick here and talk so I'll try and be quick here and talk so I'll try and be quick here and talk about my two memories with the games so about my two memories with the games so about my two memories with the games so my first memory with Xenoblade my first memory with Xenoblade my first memory with Xenoblade Chronicles is basically learning about Chronicles is basically learning about Chronicles is basically learning about it from My Friends on YouTube and it from My Friends on YouTube and it from My Friends on YouTube and understanding the importance of it and understanding the importance of it and understanding the importance of it and operation rainfall and it was really operation rainfall and it was really operation rainfall and it was really exciting and at that time I was kind of exciting and at that time I was kind of exciting and at that time I was kind of like new to the community and all that like new to the community and all that like new to the community and all that but my friend Dustin CH said he could but my friend Dustin CH said he could but my friend Dustin CH said he could actually find me a copy cuz back then actually find me a copy cuz back then actually find me a copy cuz back then finding a copy on the Wii was like finding a copy on the Wii was like finding a copy on the Wii was like really hard and it was getting really really hard and it was getting really really hard and it was getting really expensive you could not find it anywhere expensive you could not find it anywhere expensive you could not find it anywhere and he sent me a copy from the states and he sent me a copy from the states and he sent me a copy from the states and I was like oh my gosh so exciting he and I was like oh my gosh so exciting he and I was like oh my gosh so exciting he actually was able to find one so that's

play xenos Saga and gears but I actually play xenos Saga and gears but I actually think it's one of the biggest strengths think it's one of the biggest strengths think it's one of the biggest strengths of this franchise let me explain let's of this franchise let me explain let's of this franchise let me explain let's go back to my first time playing Cade 2 go back to my first time playing Cade 2 go back to my first time playing Cade 2 I did not get any references to sand I did not get any references to sand I did not get any references to sand blade 1 one might say the best part blade 1 one might say the best part blade 1 one might say the best part about the game chapter 10 and the about the game chapter 10 and the about the game chapter 10 and the revelations there would blow everyone's revelations there would blow everyone's revelations there would blow everyone's mind and be to this day the first step mind and be to this day the first step mind and be to this day the first step into making the entire franches connect into making the entire franches connect into making the entire franches connect in way and it went all over my head and in way and it went all over my head and in way and it went all over my head and still senade 2 managed to be my favorite still senade 2 managed to be my favorite still senade 2 managed to be my favorite game of all time and remains that until game of all time and remains that until game of all time and remains that until this day how because it's a self ained this day how because it's a self ained this day how because it's a self ained story it stood completely on its own but story it stood completely on its own but story it stood completely on its own but after chatting online I realized there after chatting online I realized there after chatting online I realized there was even more to this game that I didn't was even more to this game that I didn't was even more to this game that I didn't grasp I immediately jumped straight onto grasp I immediately jumped straight onto grasp I immediately jumped straight onto Xenoblade 1 on my Wii U virtual console Xenoblade 1 on my Wii U virtual console Xenoblade 1 on my Wii U virtual console and what I got is not only another and what I got is not only another and what I got is not only another completely goated self-contained game it completely goated self-contained game it completely goated self-contained game it expanded on the world that I loved so expanded on the world that I loved so expanded on the world that I loved so much Inc 2 in its own way revisiting CBL much Inc 2 in its own way revisiting CBL much Inc 2 in its own way revisiting CBL 2 after that just gave me even more 2 after that just gave me even more 2 after that just gave me even more appreciation for the game I already appreciation for the game I already appreciation for the game I already loved I know a lot of people were upset loved I know a lot of people were upset loved I know a lot of people were upset that Cade 3 was light on important that Cade 3 was light on important that Cade 3 was light on important callbacks to the previous games but to callbacks to the previous games but to callbacks to the previous games but to me it was no surprise at all Takahashi me it was no surprise at all Takahashi me it was no surprise at all Takahashi and team are doing this on purpose that and team are doing this on purpose that and team are doing this on purpose that does not mean I don't want direct does not mean I don't want direct does not mean I don't want direct sequels it just means you can have all sequels it just means you can have all sequels it just means you can have all these different continuations while

remember most of it but the one thing remember most of it but the one thing that I do remember is that the very end that I do remember is that the very end that I do remember is that the very end our unnamed and unseen protagonist our unnamed and unseen protagonist our unnamed and unseen protagonist because I don't really remember what he because I don't really remember what he because I don't really remember what he looked like in my dream basically he is looked like in my dream basically he is looked like in my dream basically he is in this grassy field this beautiful in this grassy field this beautiful in this grassy field this beautiful grassy field of the nice blue sky and he grassy field of the nice blue sky and he grassy field of the nice blue sky and he turns around and he sees two characters turns around and he sees two characters turns around and he sees two characters come towards him and they reach out come towards him and they reach out come towards him and they reach out their hand they say let's go on this their hand they say let's go on this their hand they say let's go on this adventure together or something like adventure together or something like adventure together or something like that that that and then he looks up and he sees that and then he looks up and he sees that and then he looks up and he sees that those two characters who say that are those two characters who say that are those two characters who say that are adult versions of Melia and Nia from adult versions of Melia and Nia from adult versions of Melia and Nia from Xenoblade 1 and Xenoblade 2 and then the Xenoblade 1 and Xenoblade 2 and then the Xenoblade 1 and Xenoblade 2 and then the next day I saw the trailer and I was next day I saw the trailer and I was next day I saw the trailer and I was like oh my God Melia and Nia but whoa like oh my God Melia and Nia but whoa like oh my God Melia and Nia but whoa they're evil it's not like how they were they're evil it's not like how they were they're evil it's not like how they were in my dream and then of course the rest in my dream and then of course the rest in my dream and then of course the rest of the year goes on the amazing Xeno of the year goes on the amazing Xeno of the year goes on the amazing Xeno Chronicles 3 hype cycle was so much fun Chronicles 3 hype cycle was so much fun Chronicles 3 hype cycle was so much fun to be a part of that and like I said to be a part of that and like I said to be a part of that and like I said life was going fine but I was really life was going fine but I was really life was going fine but I was really trying to achieve more at that time in trying to achieve more at that time in trying to achieve more at that time in my life find a better job find new my life find a better job find new my life find a better job find new friends just do more things that would friends just do more things that would friends just do more things that would get me out of my comfort zone and just get me out of my comfort zone and just get me out of my comfort zone and just kind of like make me the best version of kind of like make me the best version of kind of like make me the best version of myself I knew deep down inside that I myself I knew deep down inside that I myself I knew deep down inside that I wasn't that person yet eventually got wasn't that person yet eventually got wasn't that person yet eventually got the game binged it played it loved it the game binged it played it loved it the game binged it played it loved it and then I get to the end and I see and then I get to the end and I see and then I get to the end and I see Melia and Nia I reunite with all these Melia and Nia I reunite with all these Melia and Nia I reunite with all these characters characters characters and I get to the very very end of the and I get to the very very end of the and I get to the very very end of the game after beating Zed and at that very game after beating Zed and at that very game after beating Zed and at that very final stretch of the game everything

final stretch of the game everything final stretch of the game everything that Xenoblade Chronicles 3 was trying that Xenoblade Chronicles 3 was trying that Xenoblade Chronicles 3 was trying to tell me throughout this entire game to tell me throughout this entire game to tell me throughout this entire game it it all kind of hit me in that very it it all kind of hit me in that very it it all kind of hit me in that very moment and a lot of what the characters moment and a lot of what the characters moment and a lot of what the characters were saying in those final few cutscenes were saying in those final few cutscenes were saying in those final few cutscenes and the final few moments of the game and the final few moments of the game and the final few moments of the game really spoke to me and spoke to a lot of really spoke to me and spoke to a lot of really spoke to me and spoke to a lot of the feelings that I was the feelings that I was the feelings that I was experiencing at that point in my life I experiencing at that point in my life I experiencing at that point in my life I felt like I was stagnating I felt like I felt like I was stagnating I felt like I felt like I was stagnating I felt like I was holding myself back I wasn't was holding myself back I wasn't was holding myself back I wasn't reaching my full potential I kind of got reaching my full potential I kind of got reaching my full potential I kind of got comfortable in some aspects of my life comfortable in some aspects of my life comfortable in some aspects of my life and then I realized that that is almost and then I realized that that is almost and then I realized that that is almost like a mobious feeling I wanted to hold like a mobious feeling I wanted to hold like a mobious feeling I wanted to hold myself back I wanted to stay stagnant I myself back I wanted to stay stagnant I myself back I wanted to stay stagnant I wanted her to stay comfortable but in wanted her to stay comfortable but in wanted her to stay comfortable but in the back of my head my oruro boros the back of my head my oruro boros the back of my head my oruro boros intention was telling me to push forward intention was telling me to push forward intention was telling me to push forward make a change try something new get out make a change try something new get out make a change try something new get out of your comfort zone um work a little of your comfort zone um work a little of your comfort zone um work a little bit harder and it all came to a head in bit harder and it all came to a head in bit harder and it all came to a head in that final moment in the grassy field that final moment in the grassy field that final moment in the grassy field after Noah moo and everyone beats Zed after Noah moo and everyone beats Zed after Noah moo and everyone beats Zed and Melia and Nia are there with you and and Melia and Nia are there with you and and Melia and Nia are there with you and the party turns around and they look at the party turns around and they look at the party turns around and they look at Mel and Nia and in that moment I was Mel and Nia and in that moment I was Mel and Nia and in that moment I was just kind of flabbergasted I said to just kind of flabbergasted I said to just kind of flabbergasted I said to myself as I was playing the game right myself as I was playing the game right myself as I was playing the game right in this very room I was like this is in this very room I was like this is in this very room I was like this is almost like the exact same vision that I

almost like the exact same vision that I almost like the exact same vision that I saw in my dream so many months back saw in my dream so many months back saw in my dream so many months back before the game was even revealed to us before the game was even revealed to us before the game was even revealed to us and basically the message that I and basically the message that I and basically the message that I remember from the very end of the game remember from the very end of the game remember from the very end of the game and what Mel and Neo are trying to say and what Mel and Neo are trying to say and what Mel and Neo are trying to say is that Mobius is within all of us is that Mobius is within all of us is that Mobius is within all of us Mobius can remain within all of us and Mobius can remain within all of us and Mobius can remain within all of us and that is a very human thing about just that is a very human thing about just that is a very human thing about just life in general but the choice that we life in general but the choice that we life in general but the choice that we make to move past that and to take the make to move past that and to take the make to move past that and to take the ororo mindset is what will Define us in ororo mindset is what will Define us in ororo mindset is what will Define us in the future and the fact that I saw in the future and the fact that I saw in the future and the fact that I saw in that moment that those characters were that moment that those characters were that moment that those characters were kind of conveying that message I told kind of conveying that message I told kind of conveying that message I told myself that this was a message that was myself that this was a message that was myself that this was a message that was kind of being imparted to me before the kind of being imparted to me before the kind of being imparted to me before the game even came out and that was just game even came out and that was just game even came out and that was just kind of like a it's something I'll never kind of like a it's something I'll never kind of like a it's something I'll never forget about Xenoblade it's something forget about Xenoblade it's something forget about Xenoblade it's something that I'll probably elaborate in future that I'll probably elaborate in future that I'll probably elaborate in future videos as well I have something in the videos as well I have something in the videos as well I have something in the works talking about this but it's a kind works talking about this but it's a kind works talking about this but it's a kind of lesson and a um kind of very of lesson and a um kind of very of lesson and a um kind of very impactful moment which I remember before impactful moment which I remember before impactful moment which I remember before the game came out with my dream and then the game came out with my dream and then the game came out with my dream and then reexperiencing that magical moment at reexperiencing that magical moment at reexperiencing that magical moment at the very end of the game it's just it's the very end of the game it's just it's the very end of the game it's just it's crazy how things just kind of came full crazy how things just kind of came full crazy how things just kind of came full circle I do want to proudly say that circle I do want to proudly say that circle I do want to proudly say that looking back at myself 3 years back in looking back at myself 3 years back in looking back at myself 3 years back in 2022 after sort of integrating the 2022 after sort of integrating the 2022 after sort of integrating the Aurorus mindset a bit more that sounds
