playing the game I had some like times playing the game I had some like times where I played the game got to a certain where I played the game got to a certain where I played the game got to a certain point and then I either like had to like point and then I either like had to like point and then I either like had to like just reload my save or something I don't just reload my save or something I don't just reload my save or something I don't remember the specific situation but I remember the specific situation but I remember the specific situation but I had to reload a save and I lost a whole had to reload a save and I lost a whole had to reload a save and I lost a whole bunch of progress after I realized I was bunch of progress after I realized I was bunch of progress after I realized I was like oh crap but yeah um my history with like oh crap but yeah um my history with like oh crap but yeah um my history with Xenoblade is very different from you Xenoblade is very different from you Xenoblade is very different from you guys very different from many people guys very different from many people guys very different from many people because most people like most noobs who because most people like most noobs who because most people like most noobs who got into Xenoblade got into it with got into Xenoblade got into it with got into Xenoblade got into it with Xenoblade 2 I didn't get into Xenoblade Xenoblade 2 I didn't get into Xenoblade Xenoblade 2 I didn't get into Xenoblade until 2020 with Xenoblade Definitive until 2020 with Xenoblade Definitive until 2020 with Xenoblade Definitive Edition like so many people assume like Edition like so many people assume like Edition like so many people assume like oh Nishi Lov xen blade so much I'm oh Nishi Lov xen blade so much I'm oh Nishi Lov xen blade so much I'm relatively very new to the series so I relatively very new to the series so I relatively very new to the series so I played Xenoblade one loved it and then I played Xenoblade one loved it and then I played Xenoblade one loved it and then I heard all these like uh negative heard all these like uh negative heard all these like uh negative murmurings about Xenoblade 2 oh it's so murmurings about Xenoblade 2 oh it's so murmurings about Xenoblade 2 oh it's so different it's too anime uh the game different it's too anime uh the game different it's too anime uh the game play is not very good the combat sucks play is not very good the combat sucks play is not very good the combat sucks and I was like oh I don't know about and I was like oh I don't know about and I was like oh I don't know about Xeno Blade 2 Xenoblade X looks really Xeno Blade 2 Xenoblade X looks really Xeno Blade 2 Xenoblade X looks really cool I can just dust off my Wii U find a cool I can just dust off my Wii U find a cool I can just dust off my Wii U find a used copy of the game and play that used copy of the game and play that used copy of the game and play that eventually I looked more into Xenoblade eventually I looked more into Xenoblade eventually I looked more into Xenoblade 2 and I was like yeah I'll I'll play it 2 and I was like yeah I'll I'll play it 2 and I was like yeah I'll I'll play it I really enjoyed it it's one of my I really enjoyed it it's one of my I really enjoyed it it's one of my favorites and then I got um this is favorites and then I got um this is favorites and then I got um this is before the announcement of the Wii U before the announcement of the Wii U before the announcement of the Wii U eshops closure I found a used copy of eshops closure I found a used copy of eshops closure I found a used copy of Xenoblade X in GameStop and I ordered it Xenoblade X in GameStop and I ordered it Xenoblade X in GameStop and I ordered it online and then there was like some online and then there was like some online and then there was like some storms in my area around then so the storms in my area around then so the storms in my area around then so the order was delayed so I called them and I order was delayed so I called them and I order was delayed so I called them and I was like Hey when's my copy going to was like Hey when's my copy going to was like Hey when's my copy going to come in they're like oh we'll send you come in they're like oh we'll send you come in they're like oh we'll send you another one so they sent eventually I

another one so they sent eventually I another one so they sent eventually I got like my original copy in the case got like my original copy in the case got like my original copy in the case and then eventually I got another copy and then eventually I got another copy and then eventually I got another copy in like just the envelope and a disc so in like just the envelope and a disc so in like just the envelope and a disc so that was funny because I got like that that was funny because I got like that that was funny because I got like that disc copy just for free disc copy just for free disc copy just for free and then many months later they and then many months later they and then many months later they announced oh the Wii UI shop is closing announced oh the Wii UI shop is closing announced oh the Wii UI shop is closing uh all that stuff this will be the last uh all that stuff this will be the last uh all that stuff this will be the last day you can download all your games and day you can download all your games and day you can download all your games and then I saw the the price of Xenoblade X then I saw the the price of Xenoblade X then I saw the the price of Xenoblade X Skyrocket and I was like who what and Skyrocket and I was like who what and Skyrocket and I was like who what and then eventually people were like oh I then eventually people were like oh I then eventually people were like oh I need to get this game I need to get this need to get this game I need to get this need to get this game I need to get this game so I eventually I sold it on game so I eventually I sold it on game so I eventually I sold it on Facebook Marketplace or something but Facebook Marketplace or something but Facebook Marketplace or something but then um what what was I saying yeah then um what what was I saying yeah then um what what was I saying yeah basically I never started Xenoblade X basically I never started Xenoblade X basically I never started Xenoblade X until way later so I beat one I beat two until way later so I beat one I beat two until way later so I beat one I beat two my of X was just on the shelf and then my of X was just on the shelf and then my of X was just on the shelf and then three was announced I was very excited three was announced I was very excited three was announced I was very excited but I was like I need to like at least but I was like I need to like at least but I was like I need to like at least get a feeling of what x is like so I get a feeling of what x is like so I get a feeling of what x is like so I think maybe like 2 months before three think maybe like 2 months before three think maybe like 2 months before three released I played a little bit of X and released I played a little bit of X and released I played a little bit of X and my friend who I told you guys about my friend who I told you guys about my friend who I told you guys about who's like really into X he was telling who's like really into X he was telling who's like really into X he was telling me all the ins and outs how some things me all the ins and outs how some things me all the ins and outs how some things are similar to three how some things are similar to three how some things are similar to three how some things might carry over into three and then I might carry over into three and then I might carry over into three and then I played and I was like this is played and I was like this is played and I was like this is interesting I have to like get back into interesting I have to like get back into interesting I have to like get back into this after I finished three I finished this after I finished three I finished this after I finished three I finished three and and I get back into it but it three and and I get back into it but it three and and I get back into it but it took me a very long time to like really took me a very long time to like really took me a very long time to like really get seriously into the game like I would get seriously into the game like I would get seriously into the game like I would be playing it off and on for a long time be playing it off and on for a long time be playing it off and on for a long time I was like oh I'll try to beat it before I was like oh I'll try to beat it before I was like oh I'll try to beat it before tears of the Kingdom came out that never tears of the Kingdom came out that never tears of the Kingdom came out that never happened and now Flash Forward many

happened and now Flash Forward many happened and now Flash Forward many years after that this June like maybe years after that this June like maybe years after that this June like maybe almost 2 years after I initially started almost 2 years after I initially started almost 2 years after I initially started the game I finally roll credits and then the game I finally roll credits and then the game I finally roll credits and then a couple months later here we are at the a couple months later here we are at the a couple months later here we are at the definitive comptition announced and that definitive comptition announced and that definitive comptition announced and that just goes to show you like that kind of just goes to show you like that kind of just goes to show you like that kind of brings me into the next topic that I brings me into the next topic that I brings me into the next topic that I want to talk about like I was talking want to talk about like I was talking want to talk about like I was talking about how I wanted to try to beat this about how I wanted to try to beat this about how I wanted to try to beat this game before tears of the Kingdom because game before tears of the Kingdom because game before tears of the Kingdom because I was like oh there's another open world I was like oh there's another open world I was like oh there's another open world game coming out at my time's going to be game coming out at my time's going to be game coming out at my time's going to be so like dedicated to that and when I so like dedicated to that and when I so like dedicated to that and when I first played Xenoblade X I was getting a first played Xenoblade X I was getting a first played Xenoblade X I was getting a lot of breath of the wild Vibes cuz like lot of breath of the wild Vibes cuz like lot of breath of the wild Vibes cuz like breath of the wild I obviously played it breath of the wild I obviously played it breath of the wild I obviously played it at launch I played it on both Wii U and at launch I played it on both Wii U and at launch I played it on both Wii U and switch and I like to tell people that's switch and I like to tell people that's switch and I like to tell people that's like the one game I played the most for like the one game I played the most for like the one game I played the most for the past 2 years like 2017 to 2019 90% the past 2 years like 2017 to 2019 90% the past 2 years like 2017 to 2019 90% of what I was playing was birth of the of what I was playing was birth of the of what I was playing was birth of the wild and then after the pandemic I wild and then after the pandemic I wild and then after the pandemic I caught off on so many other games but caught off on so many other games but caught off on so many other games but when I first played Xenoblade X it gave when I first played Xenoblade X it gave when I first played Xenoblade X it gave me those breath of the wild Vibes of me those breath of the wild Vibes of me those breath of the wild Vibes of like exploration finding new things not like exploration finding new things not like exploration finding new things not being told where to go figuring things being told where to go figuring things being told where to go figuring things out yourself the verticality I can out yourself the verticality I can out yourself the verticality I can totally see what monolos soft took from totally see what monolos soft took from totally see what monolos soft took from Xenoblade X and and transferred over Xenoblade X and and transferred over Xenoblade X and and transferred over into breath of the wild and tears of the into breath of the wild and tears of the into breath of the wild and tears of the Kingdom with what they learned and what Kingdom with what they learned and what Kingdom with what they learned and what they kind of experimented with and a lot they kind of experimented with and a lot they kind of experimented with and a lot of people are kind of like how do these of people are kind of like how do these of people are kind of like how do these games kind of connect and it's games kind of connect and it's games kind of connect and it's definitely not in like the puzzle definitely not in like the puzzle definitely not in like the puzzle solving and the kind of creativity stuff solving and the kind of creativity stuff solving and the kind of creativity stuff with like the shica Slade and the arm with like the shica Slade and the arm with like the shica Slade and the arm abilities it's more in the exploration abilities it's more in the exploration abilities it's more in the exploration so I wanted to hear about that from you

so I wanted to hear about that from you so I wanted to hear about that from you guys like what do you think a lot of the guys like what do you think a lot of the guys like what do you think a lot of the uh parallels between the open world uh parallels between the open world uh parallels between the open world Zelda games and Xenoblade XR because I Zelda games and Xenoblade XR because I Zelda games and Xenoblade XR because I personally see a lot of that especially personally see a lot of that especially personally see a lot of that especially with like verticality exploration all with like verticality exploration all with like verticality exploration all that stuff Xenoblade X I like to call it that stuff Xenoblade X I like to call it that stuff Xenoblade X I like to call it reverse breath of the wild um on top of reverse breath of the wild um on top of reverse breath of the wild um on top of being like a prototype for breath of the being like a prototype for breath of the being like a prototype for breath of the wild so just to draw some parallels wild so just to draw some parallels wild so just to draw some parallels Hyrule Hyrule Hyrule Castle uh is in the middle of a Hyrule Castle uh is in the middle of a Hyrule Castle uh is in the middle of a Hyrule to get to genon you you're the goal is to get to genon you you're the goal is to get to genon you you're the goal is to search around Hyrule so that you can to search around Hyrule so that you can to search around Hyrule so that you can conquer the center right right yeah conquer the center right right yeah conquer the center right right yeah Xenoblade X is the reverse you're using Xenoblade X is the reverse you're using Xenoblade X is the reverse you're using new Los Angeles to conquer the new Los Angeles to conquer the new Los Angeles to conquer the outside of of of mirror basically so outside of of of mirror basically so outside of of of mirror basically so you're starting from the from the center you're starting from the from the center you're starting from the from the center and going outwards so in that sense uh and going outwards so in that sense uh and going outwards so in that sense uh you can really see how Xeno X was kind you can really see how Xeno X was kind you can really see how Xeno X was kind of a prototype for breath of the wild of a prototype for breath of the wild of a prototype for breath of the wild but then also on top of just the general but then also on top of just the general but then also on top of just the general uh World layout there's also the the uh World layout there's also the the uh World layout there's also the the platforming element of Xenoblade X that platforming element of Xenoblade X that platforming element of Xenoblade X that breath of the wild kind of took from in breath of the wild kind of took from in breath of the wild kind of took from in a way that's kind of I don't think it's a way that's kind of I don't think it's a way that's kind of I don't think it's a reach but in Xenoblade X you can climb a reach but in Xenoblade X you can climb a reach but in Xenoblade X you can climb any part of the topography basically any any part of the topography basically any any part of the topography basically any part of the environment any part of the part of the environment any part of the part of the environment any part of the the world you can jump on top of it

the world you can jump on top of it the world you can jump on top of it whether it looks like you can or not whether it looks like you can or not whether it looks like you can or not right in breath of the wild you can right in breath of the wild you can right in breath of the wild you can climb anything so it's pretty much those climb anything so it's pretty much those climb anything so it's pretty much those parallels there's even little things parallels there's even little things parallels there's even little things like with how uh During certain weather like with how uh During certain weather like with how uh During certain weather conditions in Xenoblade X right when conditions in Xenoblade X right when conditions in Xenoblade X right when it's when there's it's when there's it's when there's thunderstorms thunderstorms thunderstorms your yeah when there's thunderstorms your yeah when there's thunderstorms your yeah when there's thunderstorms your Mech takes damage if you're inside your Mech takes damage if you're inside your Mech takes damage if you're inside your Mech so you have to decide oh do I your Mech so you have to decide oh do I your Mech so you have to decide oh do I want to fight on foot to avoid taking want to fight on foot to avoid taking want to fight on foot to avoid taking damage or do I want to get inside my uh damage or do I want to get inside my uh damage or do I want to get inside my uh or do I want to use my Mech to travel or do I want to use my Mech to travel or do I want to use my Mech to travel faster regardless of the damage I'm faster regardless of the damage I'm faster regardless of the damage I'm taking right so there's all these little taking right so there's all these little taking right so there's all these little things in terms of like environmental things in terms of like environmental things in terms of like environmental interaction with Xenoblade X that breath interaction with Xenoblade X that breath interaction with Xenoblade X that breath of the wild took even with the weather of the wild took even with the weather of the wild took even with the weather conditions and breath of the wild how conditions and breath of the wild how conditions and breath of the wild how when it's thunderstorming if you're when it's thunderstorming if you're when it's thunderstorming if you're holding a metal object you can holding a metal object you can holding a metal object you can potentially get hit right or get by potentially get hit right or get by potentially get hit right or get by lightning basically yeah I I can kind of lightning basically yeah I I can kind of lightning basically yeah I I can kind of tell another inverse with Xenoblade X tell another inverse with Xenoblade X tell another inverse with Xenoblade X and breath of the wild is like breath of and breath of the wild is like breath of and breath of the wild is like breath of the wild from right from the beginning the wild from right from the beginning the wild from right from the beginning you can climb anything you can get as you can climb anything you can get as you can climb anything you can get as high as you want as long as you have the high as you want as long as you have the high as you want as long as you have the stamina to do so but you have the stamina to do so but you have the stamina to do so but you have the ability to do that whereas in Xenoblade ability to do that whereas in Xenoblade ability to do that whereas in Xenoblade X you can jump and climb as much as you X you can jump and climb as much as you X you can jump and climb as much as you can but then many many many hours later can but then many many many hours later can but then many many many hours later once you have a scale you can go once you have a scale you can go once you have a scale you can go anywhere and do anything so it's similar anywhere and do anything so it's similar anywhere and do anything so it's similar but also like in breath of the wild but also like in breath of the wild but also like in breath of the wild you're expanding your stamina whereas in you're expanding your stamina whereas in you're expanding your stamina whereas in Z blade X you're expanding your Z blade X you're expanding your Z blade X you're expanding your potential to eventually get into your potential to eventually get into your potential to eventually get into your skill and fly anywhere yeah there's the

skill and fly anywhere yeah there's the skill and fly anywhere yeah there's the other thing I forgot too which is kind other thing I forgot too which is kind other thing I forgot too which is kind of the obvious one but in Xenoblade X of the obvious one but in Xenoblade X of the obvious one but in Xenoblade X you can go anywhere from the you can go anywhere from the you can go anywhere from the same with breath of the wild you can you same with breath of the wild you can you same with breath of the wild you can you can go anywhere from the very beginning can go anywhere from the very beginning can go anywhere from the very beginning like straight to level five you know like straight to level five you know like straight to level five you know exactly regardless you'll get you'll get exactly regardless you'll get you'll get exactly regardless you'll get you'll get destroyed by the higher level enemies destroyed by the higher level enemies destroyed by the higher level enemies but the game lets you go anywhere same but the game lets you go anywhere same but the game lets you go anywhere same as breath of the wild so I think it's as breath of the wild so I think it's as breath of the wild so I think it's pretty obvious yeah what's crazy with X pretty obvious yeah what's crazy with X pretty obvious yeah what's crazy with X is some Affinity missions you're locked is some Affinity missions you're locked is some Affinity missions you're locked into that Affinity Mission I know into that Affinity Mission I know into that Affinity Mission I know there's one with hope which you can get there's one with hope which you can get there's one with hope which you can get relatively early on in the game which relatively early on in the game which relatively early on in the game which takes to cauldros and if you're locked takes to cauldros and if you're locked takes to cauldros and if you're locked into that you're locked in even at a low into that you're locked in even at a low into that you're locked in even at a low level yes yes yes and you're able to level yes yes yes and you're able to level yes yes yes and you're able to like go like go like go there yeah yeah yeah yeah so those are there yeah yeah yeah yeah so those are there yeah yeah yeah yeah so those are some of the parallels yeah speaking of some of the parallels yeah speaking of some of the parallels yeah speaking of like going anywhere even at the like going anywhere even at the like going anywhere even at the beginning of the game one memory I have beginning of the game one memory I have beginning of the game one memory I have with X is um this is like way before I with X is um this is like way before I with X is um this is like way before I could get into syum but I was like Hey could get into syum but I was like Hey could get into syum but I was like Hey wouldn't it be cool if I just like swim wouldn't it be cool if I just like swim wouldn't it be cool if I just like swim from primordia all the way to s let's from primordia all the way to s let's from primordia all the way to s let's see if I can do it and I did I just like see if I can do it and I did I just like see if I can do it and I did I just like did Auto like move and I was just did Auto like move and I was just did Auto like move and I was just swimming swimming swimming it took maybe swimming swimming swimming it took maybe swimming swimming swimming it took maybe like half an hour to get there but I like half an hour to get there but I like half an hour to get there but I swam all the way from like the coast of swam all the way from like the coast of swam all the way from like the coast of primordia all the way to syum and I was primordia all the way to syum and I was primordia all the way to syum and I was like this this is giving me real Zelda like this this is giving me real Zelda like this this is giving me real Zelda Vibes of like going into like the Elden Vibes of like going into like the Elden Vibes of like going into like the Elden region when I wasn't supposed to getting region when I wasn't supposed to getting region when I wasn't supposed to getting into gudo when I wasn't supposed to like

into gudo when I wasn't supposed to like into gudo when I wasn't supposed to like it was it was cool yeah yeah it was it was cool yeah yeah it was it was cool yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah well I'll never forget going into some well I'll never forget going into some well I'll never forget going into some regions entirely unprepared um but to regions entirely unprepared um but to regions entirely unprepared um but to wrap up on the breath of the wild tears wrap up on the breath of the wild tears wrap up on the breath of the wild tears of the Kingdom inspiration for me I also of the Kingdom inspiration for me I also of the Kingdom inspiration for me I also think about it because unfortunately I'm think about it because unfortunately I'm think about it because unfortunately I'm cursed with being a genin impact player cursed with being a genin impact player cursed with being a genin impact player um but at that same token you know I um but at that same token you know I um but at that same token you know I also can allude to the fact that you also can allude to the fact that you also can allude to the fact that you know it's very clear and obvious and know it's very clear and obvious and know it's very clear and obvious and they've admitted to themselves genin they've admitted to themselves genin they've admitted to themselves genin impacts world is based off of the world impacts world is based off of the world impacts world is based off of the world of breath of the wild breath of the wild of breath of the wild breath of the wild of breath of the wild breath of the wild is built with a large reference and is built with a large reference and is built with a large reference and incorporation from monola softs work on incorporation from monola softs work on incorporation from monola softs work on Zeno Chronicles X in in essence you know Zeno Chronicles X in in essence you know Zeno Chronicles X in in essence you know it's like genin impact in all its clones it's like genin impact in all its clones it's like genin impact in all its clones sort of rever um Zen blade X as the sort of rever um Zen blade X as the sort of rever um Zen blade X as the unspoken God luxen was saying something unspoken God luxen was saying something unspoken God luxen was saying something like that he was like it all started like that he was like it all started like that he was like it all started with Xenoblade x no it all started with with Xenoblade x no it all started with with Xenoblade x no it all started with Xeno Xeno Xeno gears exactly and then you just see the gears exactly and then you just see the gears exactly and then you just see the domino effect go from like this tiny domino effect go from like this tiny domino effect go from like this tiny little thing one disgruntled employee little thing one disgruntled employee little thing one disgruntled employee and then it just goes to genjin impact and then it just goes to genjin impact and then it just goes to genjin impact multibillionaire platform Takahashi multibillionaire platform Takahashi multibillionaire platform Takahashi changed the video game industry and changed the video game industry and changed the video game industry and smack in the middle of that was Zol smack in the middle of that was Zol smack in the middle of that was Zol blade X which had a lot of drastic blade X which had a lot of drastic blade X which had a lot of drastic mechanical changes during its mechanical changes during its mechanical changes during its development um for example some people development um for example some people development um for example some people um still remember that this was um still remember that this was um still remember that this was originally meant to be a single player originally meant to be a single player originally meant to be a single player story experience but then Nintendo story experience but then Nintendo story experience but then Nintendo wanted to go for something with um

wanted to go for something with um wanted to go for something with um multiplayer and online co-op so multiplayer and online co-op so multiplayer and online co-op so eventually Xenoblade 2 and Xenoblade X eventually Xenoblade 2 and Xenoblade X eventually Xenoblade 2 and Xenoblade X are notorious for having just really are notorious for having just really are notorious for having just really horrendous development periods zanol horrendous development periods zanol horrendous development periods zanol Blade 2 because of the short staffing Blade 2 because of the short staffing Blade 2 because of the short staffing yeah xand blade X because of the game yeah xand blade X because of the game yeah xand blade X because of the game needing to be scrapped halfway through needing to be scrapped halfway through needing to be scrapped halfway through or large swats of it needing to be or large swats of it needing to be or large swats of it needing to be scrapped halfway through and at the same scrapped halfway through and at the same scrapped halfway through and at the same time they had to develop all of these time they had to develop all of these time they had to develop all of these brand new technologies because it was brand new technologies because it was brand new technologies because it was their first time working with an open their first time working with an open their first time working with an open world game on this scale and and um I world game on this scale and and um I world game on this scale and and um I recall it being for for a sense of just recall it being for for a sense of just recall it being for for a sense of just how big this game is by the way in your how big this game is by the way in your how big this game is by the way in your scale if you walk from the highest point scale if you walk from the highest point scale if you walk from the highest point the top the farthest point of noctum in the top the farthest point of noctum in the top the farthest point of noctum in a straight line on scale just walking a straight line on scale just walking a straight line on scale just walking all the way to the very end of all the way to the very end of all the way to the very end of oblivia that length alone is five times oblivia that length alone is five times oblivia that length alone is five times the length of Skyrim yeah and that's not the length of Skyrim yeah and that's not the length of Skyrim yeah and that's not including syum or cauldros um so the including syum or cauldros um so the including syum or cauldros um so the development for this game the scale of development for this game the scale of development for this game the scale of it everything completely massive a whole it everything completely massive a whole it everything completely massive a whole new ordeal that then set up so much of new ordeal that then set up so much of new ordeal that then set up so much of breath of the wild and tears of the breath of the wild and tears of the breath of the wild and tears of the kingdom and now to see it come a little kingdom and now to see it come a little kingdom and now to see it come a little bit for Full Circle um with Z blade bit for Full Circle um with Z blade bit for Full Circle um with Z blade definitive Z blade X definitive you know definitive Z blade X definitive you know definitive Z blade X definitive you know um I'm interested to see what they've um I'm interested to see what they've um I'm interested to see what they've changed in the background mechanically

changed in the background mechanically changed in the background mechanically to hopefully allow this game flourish to hopefully allow this game flourish to hopefully allow this game flourish like we've never seen before yeah I'm like we've never seen before yeah I'm like we've never seen before yeah I'm just happy that this game is going to just happy that this game is going to just happy that this game is going to have the chance to succeed because have the chance to succeed because have the chance to succeed because looking back at sales it's very sad to looking back at sales it's very sad to looking back at sales it's very sad to see how like this game was never given a see how like this game was never given a see how like this game was never given a chance like they put so much time effort chance like they put so much time effort chance like they put so much time effort energy resources into this game and it energy resources into this game and it energy resources into this game and it didn't even hit a million and most of didn't even hit a million and most of didn't even hit a million and most of that is because it was just stuck on a that is because it was just stuck on a that is because it was just stuck on a dead system at that time so like I I was dead system at that time so like I I was dead system at that time so like I I was always saying in like live streams and always saying in like live streams and always saying in like live streams and videos was like this game needs the videos was like this game needs the videos was like this game needs the switch effect so much more than any switch effect so much more than any switch effect so much more than any other Wii U game and I'm glad it's other Wii U game and I'm glad it's other Wii U game and I'm glad it's getting that second chance but yeah what getting that second chance but yeah what getting that second chance but yeah what do do do you I I want to like transition into you I I want to like transition into you I I want to like transition into like the changes now because I was kind like the changes now because I was kind like the changes now because I was kind of surprised that the trailer hardly of surprised that the trailer hardly of surprised that the trailer hardly gave us anything to go off of of course gave us anything to go off of of course gave us anything to go off of of course we saw the new visuals character models we saw the new visuals character models we saw the new visuals character models look great but look great but look great but like I I'm most interested in like the like I I'm most interested in like the like I I'm most interested in like the menu changes the user experience of the menu changes the user experience of the menu changes the user experience of the game menu management like of course the game menu management like of course the game menu management like of course the text is a big thing but like I mentioned text is a big thing but like I mentioned text is a big thing but like I mentioned once in a video where I was like there once in a video where I was like there once in a video where I was like there have been hours where I was just stuck have been hours where I was just stuck have been hours where I was just stuck in a menu because I was either like in a menu because I was either like in a menu because I was either like specking out all my characters it was specking out all my characters it was specking out all my characters it was taking too long the transitions were too taking too long the transitions were too taking too long the transitions were too slow the like menu navigation was too slow the like menu navigation was too slow the like menu navigation was too like all over the place and too like all over the place and too like all over the place and too convoluted so I hope that's changed and convoluted so I hope that's changed and convoluted so I hope that's changed and that's not even including Frontier nav that's not even including Frontier nav that's not even including Frontier nav but aside from things like that or like

but aside from things like that or like but aside from things like that or like relating to things like that what are relating to things like that what are relating to things like that what are you guys think are some major changes you guys think are some major changes you guys think are some major changes you guys want to see like to make this you guys want to see like to make this you guys want to see like to make this like a definitive like a definitive like a definitive edition yeah for me it's just a couple edition yeah for me it's just a couple edition yeah for me it's just a couple easy things first of all and I keep easy things first of all and I keep easy things first of all and I keep saying this first the music that plays saying this first the music that plays saying this first the music that plays while you're flying just cut it out or while you're flying just cut it out or while you're flying just cut it out or give us an option to turn it off I just give us an option to turn it off I just give us an option to turn it off I just everyone dislikes it I just want to hear everyone dislikes it I just want to hear everyone dislikes it I just want to hear the the world music while I'm flying I the the world music while I'm flying I the the world music while I'm flying I want to hear the Regular Music make want to hear the Regular Music make want to hear the Regular Music make items easier to find because they were items easier to find because they were items easier to find because they were very vague about item location sometimes very vague about item location sometimes very vague about item location sometimes when you were doing certain side quests when you were doing certain side quests when you were doing certain side quests or yeah when you're doing like the side or yeah when you're doing like the side or yeah when you're doing like the side side quest and not main side quest and not main side quest and not main stuff um pop in you know for the stuff um pop in you know for the stuff um pop in you know for the graphics for the um monster models like graphics for the um monster models like graphics for the um monster models like fix that and then the last thing and fix that and then the last thing and fix that and then the last thing and then I'll let you go uh drizzle but then I'll let you go uh drizzle but then I'll let you go uh drizzle but um the when you're getting your um the when you're getting your um the when you're getting your alternate party members uh you have to alternate party members uh you have to alternate party members uh you have to physically go to their locations I hate physically go to their locations I hate physically go to their locations I hate the hangout spots cuz like with me I was the hangout spots cuz like with me I was the hangout spots cuz like with me I was just holding up my wi U gamepad and just holding up my wi U gamepad and just holding up my wi U gamepad and pressing all the little hexagons I was pressing all the little hexagons I was pressing all the little hexagons I was like is this person here are they here like is this person here are they here like is this person here are they here are they here and I was like oh yeah are they here and I was like oh yeah are they here and I was like oh yeah it's too much it's they just give us one it's too much it's they just give us one it's too much it's they just give us one I I I don't know if y'all are playing I I I don't know if y'all are playing I I I don't know if y'all are playing metaphor ref Fantasia right now but when metaphor ref Fantasia right now but when metaphor ref Fantasia right now but when you when you need to there's an option you when you need to there's an option you when you need to there's an option when you need to do um the uh social when you need to do um the uh social when you need to do um the uh social link stuff you can just open the menu

link stuff you can just open the menu link stuff you can just open the menu and go straight to exactly they need to and go straight to exactly they need to and go straight to exactly they need to do something like that for Xeno X so we do something like that for Xeno X so we do something like that for Xeno X so we can just go straight to our alternate can just go straight to our alternate can just go straight to our alternate party members we shouldn't be having to party members we shouldn't be having to party members we shouldn't be having to scramble and look around new Los Angeles scramble and look around new Los Angeles scramble and look around new Los Angeles just to find our part just to switch just to find our part just to switch just to find our part just to switch party members that's too much so I love party members that's too much so I love party members that's too much so I love love the idea of it I love the idea of love the idea of it I love the idea of love the idea of it I love the idea of it I love seeing characters actively out it I love seeing characters actively out it I love seeing characters actively out in the open world and just you know in the open world and just you know in the open world and just you know going about their days or talking with going about their days or talking with going about their days or talking with whoever but I don't want to find them as whoever but I don't want to find them as whoever but I don't want to find them as the game progresses the game progresses the game progresses so often and their spots change so often and their spots change so often and their spots change depending on Miss or section depending on Miss or section depending on Miss or section day yeah yeah I know I agree on that um day yeah yeah I know I agree on that um day yeah yeah I know I agree on that um I also definitely agree on the items I also definitely agree on the items I also definitely agree on the items need to be much easier if they can go need to be much easier if they can go need to be much easier if they can go with the similar vein that they did with with the similar vein that they did with with the similar vein that they did with Definitive Edition which I expect them Definitive Edition which I expect them Definitive Edition which I expect them to be I would greatly appreciate that to be I would greatly appreciate that to be I would greatly appreciate that because I'll never forget being so fed because I'll never forget being so fed because I'll never forget being so fed up trying to find an item for elanora up trying to find an item for elanora up trying to find an item for elanora and um Elanor is our main quest Giver in and um Elanor is our main quest Giver in and um Elanor is our main quest Giver in the game by the way the game by the way the game by the way um I'll never forget I need an item I've um I'll never forget I need an item I've um I'll never forget I need an item I've never seen it before so I don't see it never seen it before so I don't see it never seen it before so I don't see it in my collectopedia what it is and I had in my collectopedia what it is and I had in my collectopedia what it is and I had to go on the wikii only to find out it's to go on the wikii only to find out it's to go on the wikii only to find out it's in this small Shore off the Eastern in this small Shore off the Eastern in this small Shore off the Eastern segment of cauldros that only spawns at segment of cauldros that only spawns at segment of cauldros that only spawns at 4 in the morning and 5 in the morning 4 in the morning and 5 in the morning 4 in the morning and 5 in the morning and I'm like what on and I'm like what on and I'm like what on Earth and that's that's not unique to Earth and that's that's not unique to Earth and that's that's not unique to that item either there's so many that item either there's so many that item either there's so many different examples of that game so many different examples of that game so many different examples of that game so many different monster um Rarity monster item

different monster um Rarity monster item different monster um Rarity monster item Rarity is a thing in this game um I had Rarity is a thing in this game um I had Rarity is a thing in this game um I had to do that for mechanical level five I to do that for mechanical level five I to do that for mechanical level five I had to go on the wiki and be like where had to go on the wiki and be like where had to go on the wiki and be like where is this one specific item I need to get is this one specific item I need to get is this one specific item I need to get and then it was like oh it's in this and then it was like oh it's in this and then it was like oh it's in this area by this uh Frontier nav probe area by this uh Frontier nav probe area by this uh Frontier nav probe location and I had to go there and then location and I had to go there and then location and I had to go there and then I have to like walk around for like half I have to like walk around for like half I have to like walk around for like half an hour trying to find the items I an hour trying to find the items I an hour trying to find the items I needed so like what they should do is needed so like what they should do is needed so like what they should do is they should do it like how it is in they should do it like how it is in they should do it like how it is in Xenoblade 1 Definitive Edition so like Xenoblade 1 Definitive Edition so like Xenoblade 1 Definitive Edition so like on your mini map there'll be like on your mini map there'll be like on your mini map there'll be like exclamation points exclamation points exclamation points and it will be like a dotted line and it will be like a dotted line and it will be like a dotted line telling you where to go so they should telling you where to go so they should telling you where to go so they should just do that and if they want to just do that and if they want to just do that and if they want to incorporate with follow ball just have incorporate with follow ball just have incorporate with follow ball just have the follow ball direct you to like a the follow ball direct you to like a the follow ball direct you to like a large cluster of where items are I I large cluster of where items are I I large cluster of where items are I I didn't even think about that yes follow didn't even think about that yes follow didn't even think about that yes follow ball is their very first attempt on ball is their very first attempt on ball is their very first attempt on xenox to try and create this sort of xenox to try and create this sort of xenox to try and create this sort of pathing system it was very notorious for pathing system it was very notorious for pathing system it was very notorious for people for leading people astray or people for leading people astray or people for leading people astray or leading them into places they didn't leading them into places they didn't leading them into places they didn't need to be with higher enemies it would need to be with higher enemies it would need to be with higher enemies it would give you it would take you on the long give you it would take you on the long give you it would take you on the long way most of the time yes and would way most of the time yes and would way most of the time yes and would always cause a lot of grief I'm like always cause a lot of grief I'm like always cause a lot of grief I'm like well I could just jump over this ledge well I could just jump over this ledge well I could just jump over this ledge you know I could just do a little bit of you know I could just do a little bit of you know I could just do a little bit of platforming with my Super Mario jumps platforming with my Super Mario jumps platforming with my Super Mario jumps and then I would be right there but so and then I would be right there but so and then I would be right there but so um that's actually another segue into um that's actually another segue into um that's actually another segue into something I would like I need to see an something I would like I need to see an something I would like I need to see an updated follow ball um they got it updated follow ball um they got it updated follow ball um they got it pretty well with s Blade Chronicles 3 pretty well with s Blade Chronicles 3 pretty well with s Blade Chronicles 3 yes um I think that handled really well yes um I think that handled really well yes um I think that handled really well was a lot more smooth granted there was was a lot more smooth granted there was was a lot more smooth granted there was a lot of questions regard with regards a lot of questions regard with regards a lot of questions regard with regards to uh linearity of the zones with Zen to uh linearity of the zones with Zen to uh linearity of the zones with Zen Blade Chronicles 3 whereas they have a Blade Chronicles 3 whereas they have a Blade Chronicles 3 whereas they have a much harder time in a open world Zone

much harder time in a open world Zone much harder time in a open world Zone such as throughout Mo most of Mira so such as throughout Mo most of Mira so such as throughout Mo most of Mira so I'm interested to see what tech they'll I'm interested to see what tech they'll I'm interested to see what tech they'll have for that a better follow ball um have for that a better follow ball um have for that a better follow ball um streamlining the menu um because I streamlining the menu um because I streamlining the menu um because I remember you nqu you didn't even find remember you nqu you didn't even find remember you nqu you didn't even find out about augment so much later in the out about augment so much later in the out about augment so much later in the Game X prompt like in the menu in your Game X prompt like in the menu in your Game X prompt like in the menu in your gear section it doesn't tell you press X gear section it doesn't tell you press X gear section it doesn't tell you press X to set an augment and I didn't figure to set an augment and I didn't figure to set an augment and I didn't figure that out until like maybe like chapter 5 that out until like maybe like chapter 5 that out until like maybe like chapter 5 six seven around like mid game and I was six seven around like mid game and I was six seven around like mid game and I was like this is a central feature I've been like this is a central feature I've been like this is a central feature I've been like hoarding so many augments I don't like hoarding so many augments I don't like hoarding so many augments I don't know where to put them so like so many know where to put them so like so many know where to put them so like so many terrestrial so many humanoids so many terrestrial so many humanoids so many terrestrial so many humanoids so many mechanical augments that could have mechanical augments that could have mechanical augments that could have definitely made boss fights easier for definitely made boss fights easier for definitely made boss fights easier for you if you'd if you'd only known about you if you'd if you'd only known about you if you'd if you'd only known about that earlier huh yeah and even imagine that earlier huh yeah and even imagine that earlier huh yeah and even imagine going yeah imagine playing Xena blade uh going yeah imagine playing Xena blade uh going yeah imagine playing Xena blade uh one without using um without using gems one without using um without using gems one without using um without using gems that's exactly what augments are I um that's exactly what augments are I um that's exactly what augments are I um even like menus like the collectopedia even like menus like the collectopedia even like menus like the collectopedia or the Affinity chart it's just very or the Affinity chart it's just very or the Affinity chart it's just very clunky and like it's just so slow to clunky and like it's just so slow to clunky and like it's just so slow to like go through a lot of those things like go through a lot of those things like go through a lot of those things like I went into the collectopedia once like I went into the collectopedia once like I went into the collectopedia once and I would like submit the thing into and I would like submit the thing into and I would like submit the thing into the collectopedia it would give me that the collectopedia it would give me that the collectopedia it would give me that little chime and it would show me oh you little chime and it would show me oh you little chime and it would show me oh you you collected this you did this here's you collected this you did this here's you collected this you did this here's the BP that you got and it would be so the BP that you got and it would be so the BP that you got and it would be so slow it' be like 15 seconds for each slow it' be like 15 seconds for each slow it' be like 15 seconds for each thing I'm like shorten that down to like thing I'm like shorten that down to like thing I'm like shorten that down to like one second so I can just speed through one second so I can just speed through one second so I can just speed through all of these so the clunkiness of the

all of these so the clunkiness of the all of these so the clunkiness of the menus I think that that needs to be menus I think that that needs to be menus I think that that needs to be overhauled a lot but a lot of people's overhauled a lot but a lot of people's overhauled a lot but a lot of people's like worry with this game coming over to like worry with this game coming over to like worry with this game coming over to the switch is you're not going to have a the switch is you're not going to have a the switch is you're not going to have a second screen to like look at things so second screen to like look at things so second screen to like look at things so how is Frontier nav going to work so how is Frontier nav going to work so how is Frontier nav going to work so what are your guys' ideas about that what are your guys' ideas about that what are your guys' ideas about that because my thing was most of the buttons because my thing was most of the buttons because my thing was most of the buttons on the switch will already be taken up on the switch will already be taken up on the switch will already be taken up by like things to do because the Wii U by like things to do because the Wii U by like things to do because the Wii U gam pad and the Wii U Classic Controller gam pad and the Wii U Classic Controller gam pad and the Wii U Classic Controller or the Pro Controller have like the same or the Pro Controller have like the same or the Pro Controller have like the same button configuration as a switch so I button configuration as a switch so I button configuration as a switch so I was thinking like maybe ZL plus ZR like was thinking like maybe ZL plus ZR like was thinking like maybe ZL plus ZR like that like button configuration can pull that like button configuration can pull that like button configuration can pull up a frontier nav overlay or something up a frontier nav overlay or something up a frontier nav overlay or something like that but it's going to feel so like that but it's going to feel so like that but it's going to feel so different because it's going to be a different because it's going to be a different because it's going to be a whole another menu you're not going to whole another menu you're not going to whole another menu you're not going to be like easily like you can easily be like easily like you can easily be like easily like you can easily switch probes and stuff but it's going switch probes and stuff but it's going switch probes and stuff but it's going to be a very very very different to be a very very very different to be a very very very different experience so how do you guys feel about experience so how do you guys feel about experience so how do you guys feel about that yeah have y'all played Splatoon that yeah have y'all played Splatoon that yeah have y'all played Splatoon three or two oh yeah three or two oh yeah three or two oh yeah I but I'm curious to hear what you can I but I'm curious to hear what you can I but I'm curious to hear what you can compare so in in Splatoon 2 and three uh compare so in in Splatoon 2 and three uh compare so in in Splatoon 2 and three uh because in the original Splatoon to because in the original Splatoon to because in the original Splatoon to super jump or to how do I say it you super jump or to how do I say it you super jump or to how do I say it you could teleport to your teammates by could teleport to your teammates by could teleport to your teammates by pressing where they were on the map pressing where they were on the map pressing where they were on the map using the using the using the game um but yeah but in Splatoon two and game um but yeah but in Splatoon two and game um but yeah but in Splatoon two and they had to change that because there's

they had to change that because there's they had to change that because there's no game pad so what they did was they no game pad so what they did was they no game pad so what they did was they let you pull up an overlay um with I let you pull up an overlay um with I let you pull up an overlay um with I think it's uh the minus button you pull think it's uh the minus button you pull think it's uh the minus button you pull up an overlay and then you use gyro to up an overlay and then you use gyro to up an overlay and then you use gyro to point at where your teammate is on the point at where your teammate is on the point at where your teammate is on the screen so you're using the gyro as a as screen so you're using the gyro as a as screen so you're using the gyro as a as a mouse basically okay so theoretically a mouse basically okay so theoretically a mouse basically okay so theoretically they could just let you pull up an they could just let you pull up an they could just let you pull up an overlay and then you use the gyro as a overlay and then you use the gyro as a overlay and then you use the gyro as a mouse to choose each point on the or to mouse to choose each point on the or to mouse to choose each point on the or to choose each Probe on the frontier nav choose each Probe on the frontier nav choose each Probe on the frontier nav that's potentially what they can do how that's potentially what they can do how that's potentially what they can do how does that feel with a Pro Controller if does that feel with a Pro Controller if does that feel with a Pro Controller if you played with the it felt weird it you played with the it felt weird it you played with the it felt weird it felt weird it did not feel as good as felt weird it did not feel as good as felt weird it did not feel as good as the game pad but it felt like okay this the game pad but it felt like okay this the game pad but it felt like okay this is enough it's it's like it's a good is enough it's it's like it's a good is enough it's it's like it's a good like Band-Aid for the issue like it like Band-Aid for the issue like it like Band-Aid for the issue like it makes it uh manageable but it's not I makes it uh manageable but it's not I makes it uh manageable but it's not I don't think they're going to come up don't think they're going to come up don't think they're going to come up with an elegant solution that feels as with an elegant solution that feels as with an elegant solution that feels as good as just pressing a point on the good as just pressing a point on the good as just pressing a point on the game pad it is too yeah it's just too um game pad it is too yeah it's just too um game pad it is too yeah it's just too um inherently different so that's what I inherently different so that's what I inherently different so that's what I think they'll do but we'll see we'll see think they'll do but we'll see we'll see think they'll do but we'll see we'll see how that goes yeah because like I've how that goes yeah because like I've how that goes yeah because like I've been talking about like menu navigation been talking about like menu navigation been talking about like menu navigation and menu design and like all that and menu design and like all that and menu design and like all that stuff having a whole other like separate stuff having a whole other like separate stuff having a whole other like separate Frontier nav menu is going to be a Frontier nav menu is going to be a Frontier nav menu is going to be a deterrent to a lot of that which kind of deterrent to a lot of that which kind of deterrent to a lot of that which kind of sucks but it is going to be it's going sucks but it is going to be it's going sucks but it is going to be it's going to have to be compromise for this game to have to be compromise for this game to have to be compromise for this game coming to switch which is unless they coming to switch which is unless they coming to switch which is unless they make it buttery smooth they have to they make it buttery smooth they have to they make it buttery smooth they have to they have to try and make some sort of

have to try and make some sort of have to try and make some sort of transition between those screens very transition between those screens very transition between those screens very smooth doesn't can't feel clunky load smooth doesn't can't feel clunky load smooth doesn't can't feel clunky load times need to be fast and I have no times need to be fast and I have no times need to be fast and I have no doubt they can pull that off yeah doubt they can pull that off yeah doubt they can pull that off yeah um for me I wouldn't expect to see um for me I wouldn't expect to see um for me I wouldn't expect to see unfortunately unfortunately unfortunately another um another tab in the menu yeah another um another tab in the menu yeah another um another tab in the menu yeah but but my hope very much and you you but but my hope very much and you you but but my hope very much and you you brought up metaphor fantasio very brought up metaphor fantasio very brought up metaphor fantasio very similarly you know you press plus and similarly you know you press plus and similarly you know you press plus and then you press a button on controller then you press a button on controller then you press a button on controller just to immediately jump into the just to immediately jump into the just to immediately jump into the archetype menu yeah um I would hope archetype menu yeah um I would hope archetype menu yeah um I would hope something similar when you brought up something similar when you brought up something similar when you brought up gyroscope my problem with that is it gyroscope my problem with that is it gyroscope my problem with that is it leads to a whole question of sensitivity leads to a whole question of sensitivity leads to a whole question of sensitivity because whereas with spatoon 2 and three because whereas with spatoon 2 and three because whereas with spatoon 2 and three you know you can just move the gyroscope you know you can just move the gyroscope you know you can just move the gyroscope gently and the game will approximate to gently and the game will approximate to gently and the game will approximate to what's the closest character to the what's the closest character to the what's the closest character to the gyroscope true yeah whereas with Xeno gyroscope true yeah whereas with Xeno gyroscope true yeah whereas with Xeno Blade definitive there's so many small Blade definitive there's so many small Blade definitive there's so many small segments it's like a comb map segments it's like a comb map segments it's like a comb map essentially and you have to balance essentially and you have to balance essentially and you have to balance throughout that so I would just expect throughout that so I would just expect throughout that so I would just expect you press plus then X to open up you press plus then X to open up you press plus then X to open up Frontier nav there's going to be maybe Frontier nav there's going to be maybe Frontier nav there's going to be maybe probably some Snappy animation tied with probably some Snappy animation tied with probably some Snappy animation tied with it I don't know uh just to go into real it I don't know uh just to go into real it I don't know uh just to go into real quick uh you can probably move with the quick uh you can probably move with the quick uh you can probably move with the c stick uh to select what you want to do c stick uh to select what you want to do c stick uh to select what you want to do or you can press you know you can press or you can press you know you can press or you can press you know you can press L andr to go through the different tabs L andr to go through the different tabs L andr to go through the different tabs of Frontier nav because you know there's of Frontier nav because you know there's of Frontier nav because you know there's the probe Map There's the tra uh travel the probe Map There's the tra uh travel the probe Map There's the tra uh travel map and then there's the objective map map and then there's the objective map map and then there's the objective map um so I imagine I imagine they'll have um so I imagine I imagine they'll have um so I imagine I imagine they'll have it all configured in one section that

it all configured in one section that it all configured in one section that you can just cycle between with L or R you can just cycle between with L or R you can just cycle between with L or R and then you pick what you want to do and then you pick what you want to do and then you pick what you want to do very quickly that would be the best very quickly that would be the best very quickly that would be the best thing that I would expect for Frontier thing that I would expect for Frontier thing that I would expect for Frontier knf or how that to be handled that's knf or how that to be handled that's knf or how that to be handled that's what I expect I don't think that's what I expect I don't think that's what I expect I don't think that's exactly toe for toe for what they'll go exactly toe for toe for what they'll go exactly toe for toe for what they'll go with but I think you know in terms of with but I think you know in terms of with but I think you know in terms of streamlining it streamlining it making streamlining it streamlining it making streamlining it streamlining it making it accessible making it open but a large it accessible making it open but a large it accessible making it open but a large part of that also needs to be reactive part of that also needs to be reactive part of that also needs to be reactive it needs to be very quick it can't be it needs to be very quick it can't be it needs to be very quick it can't be bad with load times it just needs to bad with load times it just needs to bad with load times it just needs to overall be a SN a Snappy quick process overall be a SN a Snappy quick process overall be a SN a Snappy quick process for it to feel intuitive yeah yeah for it to feel intuitive yeah yeah for it to feel intuitive yeah yeah because like changing out probes like because like changing out probes like because like changing out probes like from like mining to research or whatever from like mining to research or whatever from like mining to research or whatever you're doing or like um changing like you're doing or like um changing like you're doing or like um changing like the different viewpoints of the frontier the different viewpoints of the frontier the different viewpoints of the frontier nav from like the pro Viewpoint to like nav from like the pro Viewpoint to like nav from like the pro Viewpoint to like the what is it the actual like Frontier the what is it the actual like Frontier the what is it the actual like Frontier nav like like if it's like a seeing if nav like like if it's like a seeing if nav like like if it's like a seeing if it's like a unique monster or a treasure it's like a unique monster or a treasure it's like a unique monster or a treasure or something like that those different or something like that those different or something like that those different um Transitions and toggles need to be um Transitions and toggles need to be um Transitions and toggles need to be like quick and snappy yeah so I um I like quick and snappy yeah so I um I like quick and snappy yeah so I um I have full faith in monolos soft because have full faith in monolos soft because have full faith in monolos soft because a lot of what like takahashi's biggest a lot of what like takahashi's biggest a lot of what like takahashi's biggest thing like what he was saying many thing like what he was saying many thing like what he was saying many people are talking about this is they people are talking about this is they people are talking about this is they need to spend a lot of money in this need to spend a lot of money in this need to spend a lot of money in this game they need to like overhaul the game they need to like overhaul the game they need to like overhaul the menus overhaul some of the look and feel menus overhaul some of the look and feel menus overhaul some of the look and feel of a lot of things and we're already of a lot of things and we're already of a lot of things and we're already seeing that with some of the visuals but seeing that with some of the visuals but seeing that with some of the visuals but what I've been noticing with monol soft what I've been noticing with monol soft what I've been noticing with monol soft is like they've been growing their team is like they've been growing their team is like they've been growing their team quite a bit and I hope with this game quite a bit and I hope with this game quite a bit and I hope with this game that they invest heavily into UI and ux

that they invest heavily into UI and ux that they invest heavily into UI and ux like me being a UI and ux designer like me being a UI and ux designer like me being a UI and ux designer myself I hope to see this game like have myself I hope to see this game like have myself I hope to see this game like have a significant impact on in that area of a significant impact on in that area of a significant impact on in that area of game development and have that Branch game development and have that Branch game development and have that Branch into like Xenoblade 4 and Beyond because into like Xenoblade 4 and Beyond because into like Xenoblade 4 and Beyond because that is a very big criticism a lot of that is a very big criticism a lot of that is a very big criticism a lot of people have with the series in general people have with the series in general people have with the series in general like oh there's too many numbers flying like oh there's too many numbers flying like oh there's too many numbers flying over the place the menus are too hard to over the place the menus are too hard to over the place the menus are too hard to handle and like even Xenoblade 2's like handle and like even Xenoblade 2's like handle and like even Xenoblade 2's like blade menu it's just kind of convoluted blade menu it's just kind of convoluted blade menu it's just kind of convoluted so I hope they significantly invest into so I hope they significantly invest into so I hope they significantly invest into that area of development and it pays off that area of development and it pays off that area of development and it pays off quite a bit but yeah um what else did I quite a bit but yeah um what else did I quite a bit but yeah um what else did I in terms of like changes oh yeah one in terms of like changes oh yeah one in terms of like changes oh yeah one thing I want to hear from you guys is thing I want to hear from you guys is thing I want to hear from you guys is you guys like as we talked about you you guys like as we talked about you you guys like as we talked about you guys played this game back in 2015 15 guys played this game back in 2015 15 guys played this game back in 2015 15 when it was like new and it was like a when it was like new and it was like a when it was like new and it was like a big thing and a lot of people were big thing and a lot of people were big thing and a lot of people were playing it I didn't play this until like playing it I didn't play this until like playing it I didn't play this until like 2021 2022 so I unfortunately did not get 2021 2022 so I unfortunately did not get 2021 2022 so I unfortunately did not get to experience the online so this is to experience the online so this is to experience the online so this is going to be like a new experience for me going to be like a new experience for me going to be like a new experience for me in a way so I want you guys to give me in a way so I want you guys to give me in a way so I want you guys to give me some stories about what the online is some stories about what the online is some stories about what the online is like and what I should expect and what I like and what I should expect and what I like and what I should expect and what I should look forward should look forward should look forward to okay well there's two aspects of the to okay well there's two aspects of the to okay well there's two aspects of the online there's kind of the the past online there's kind of the the past online there's kind of the the past online experience which is people kind online experience which is people kind online experience which is people kind of of of leaving was there a hint system cuz I leaving was there a hint system cuz I leaving was there a hint system cuz I didn't engage with it that much but I didn't engage with it that much but I didn't engage with it that much but I feel like I don't believe there was a feel like I don't believe there was a feel like I don't believe there was a hint system but you could was it

hint system but you could was it hint system but you could was it messages or like there were very brief messages or like there were very brief messages or like there were very brief messages oh soort a Souls game right messages oh soort a Souls game right messages oh soort a Souls game right yeah but not not as direct and I don't yeah but not not as direct and I don't yeah but not not as direct and I don't think is nearly as expansive yeah it think is nearly as expansive yeah it think is nearly as expansive yeah it wasn't yeah it was like a light version wasn't yeah it was like a light version wasn't yeah it was like a light version of that um and then you had Squad tasks of that um and then you had Squad tasks of that um and then you had Squad tasks which which which was um you could choose um a faction I was um you could choose um a faction I was um you could choose um a faction I forgot what they call it in the game but forgot what they call it in the game but forgot what they call it in the game but you can choose like a faction whenever you can choose like a faction whenever you can choose like a faction whenever you start up Xeno X and then depending you start up Xeno X and then depending you start up Xeno X and then depending on the faction you choose you guys have on the faction you choose you guys have on the faction you choose you guys have a collective Squad tasks so for example a collective Squad tasks so for example a collective Squad tasks so for example they might be like the squad task might they might be like the squad task might they might be like the squad task might be everybody needs to defeat 32 Penguins be everybody needs to defeat 32 Penguins be everybody needs to defeat 32 Penguins or something like that and then once or something like that and then once or something like that and then once y'all beat 32 32 Penguins uh you get y'all beat 32 32 Penguins uh you get y'all beat 32 32 Penguins uh you get some kind of reward for it so there's some kind of reward for it so there's some kind of reward for it so there's that re tickets right yeah yes you would that re tickets right yeah yes you would that re tickets right yeah yes you would get you would get a handful of reward get you would get a handful of reward get you would get a handful of reward tickets and you would also get um some tickets and you would also get um some tickets and you would also get um some currencies I believe I yeah but they currencies I believe I yeah but they currencies I believe I yeah but they were usually very minimal but the were usually very minimal but the were usually very minimal but the tickets were what was really worth okay tickets were what was really worth okay tickets were what was really worth okay yeah yeah yeah yeah I didn't really yeah yeah yeah yeah I didn't really yeah yeah yeah yeah I didn't really engage with that it was like uh okay if engage with that it was like uh okay if engage with that it was like uh okay if I'm around while the squad task is going I'm around while the squad task is going I'm around while the squad task is going I'll I'll kill a few Penguins but I'm I'll I'll kill a few Penguins but I'm I'll I'll kill a few Penguins but I'm not going to go out of I I never went not going to go out of I I never went not going to go out of I I never went out of my way to do Squad task um but out of my way to do Squad task um but out of my way to do Squad task um but then there's the on there's the actual then there's the on there's the actual then there's the on there's the actual active online which was kind of the active online which was kind of the active online which was kind of the Fantasy Star online Fantasy Star online Fantasy Star online thing but again it's not it wasn't as thing but again it's not it wasn't as thing but again it's not it wasn't as expansive as Fantasy Star online or expansive as Fantasy Star online or expansive as Fantasy Star online or Monster Hunter it was like you would go Monster Hunter it was like you would go Monster Hunter it was like you would go into a Lobby um in your blade Barracks

into a Lobby um in your blade Barracks into a Lobby um in your blade Barracks area you would go into the lobby and area you would go into the lobby and area you would go into the lobby and then you would see people um queuing up then you would see people um queuing up then you would see people um queuing up basically um and I think it was four basically um and I think it was four basically um and I think it was four people you could queue up with four four people you could queue up with four four people you could queue up with four four at a time yeah the rooms itself could at a time yeah the rooms itself could at a time yeah the rooms itself could fit 32 like the squad itself was 32 fit 32 like the squad itself was 32 fit 32 like the squad itself was 32 players and the s themselves could fit players and the s themselves could fit players and the s themselves could fit where they would all be around doing the where they would all be around doing the where they would all be around doing the Overworld tasks you wouldn't see them in Overworld tasks you wouldn't see them in Overworld tasks you wouldn't see them in the Overworld but you know everyone it the Overworld but you know everyone it the Overworld but you know everyone it would be number go up but for what he's would be number go up but for what he's would be number go up but for what he's talking about specifically you would go talking about specifically you would go talking about specifically you would go into a Lobby and out of those 32 it into a Lobby and out of those 32 it into a Lobby and out of those 32 it would just be four so similar to The would just be four so similar to The would just be four so similar to The Monster Hunter S thing okay mhm yep so Monster Hunter S thing okay mhm yep so Monster Hunter S thing okay mhm yep so then y'all could go out into basically then y'all could go out into basically then y'all could go out into basically what I call like um a paired down what I call like um a paired down what I call like um a paired down version like a smaller version of an version like a smaller version of an version like a smaller version of an area in the game so for for example area in the game so for for example area in the game so for for example primordia you could choose like primordia you could choose like primordia you could choose like primordia but it wouldn't be like y'all primordia but it wouldn't be like y'all primordia but it wouldn't be like y'all could explore all of primordia it would could explore all of primordia it would could explore all of primordia it would be like a small version of primordia be like a small version of primordia be like a small version of primordia where y'all will go out and defeat some where y'all will go out and defeat some where y'all will go out and defeat some monsters and that was it that was it monsters and that was it that was it monsters and that was it that was it pretty much I mean it wasn't like a pretty much I mean it wasn't like a pretty much I mean it wasn't like a super highly involved thing but it was a super highly involved thing but it was a super highly involved thing but it was a cute thing to do like when you know when cute thing to do like when you know when cute thing to do like when you know when you wanted to interact with your friends you wanted to interact with your friends you wanted to interact with your friends that were playing Xenoblade X but yeah that were playing Xenoblade X but yeah that were playing Xenoblade X but yeah and when I said it's small I'm talking and when I said it's small I'm talking and when I said it's small I'm talking like it might take you very quick small like it might take you very quick small like it might take you very quick small areas almost Arena like late game late areas almost Arena like late game late areas almost Arena like late game late game players would grind these out in game players would grind these out in game players would grind these out in seconds just straight up seconds and the seconds just straight up seconds and the seconds just straight up seconds and the only the only reason it would take

only the only reason it would take only the only reason it would take seconds was because it would just load seconds was because it would just load seconds was because it would just load the next instance of mobs that would be the next instance of mobs that would be the next instance of mobs that would be it yeah yeah it wasn't like a super but it yeah yeah it wasn't like a super but it yeah yeah it wasn't like a super but I do wonder I do wonder I do wonder if may I don't know if maybe they could if may I don't know if maybe they could if may I don't know if maybe they could take it further that's one question I take it further that's one question I take it further that's one question I have as how they're going to handle the have as how they're going to handle the have as how they're going to handle the I really hope they do yeah yeah yeah I really hope they do yeah yeah yeah I really hope they do yeah yeah yeah yeah they could expand it theoretically yeah they could expand it theoretically yeah they could expand it theoretically maybe the switch can handle it there's maybe the switch can handle it there's maybe the switch can handle it there's rumors that they're going to but I rumors that they're going to but I rumors that they're going to but I don't I I don't know that that's a don't I I don't know that that's a don't I I don't know that that's a that's a big if this would be a nice that's a big if this would be a nice that's a big if this would be a nice opportunity for them to do so but I I opportunity for them to do so but I I opportunity for them to do so but I I I'm looking forward to playing online I'm looking forward to playing online I'm looking forward to playing online because I I heard that to get some of because I I heard that to get some of because I I heard that to get some of the best like um um material for the best like um um material for the best like um um material for crafting like gear sorry skills I keep crafting like gear sorry skills I keep crafting like gear sorry skills I keep calling them gears because I recent calling them gears because I recent calling them gears because I recent recently played Xeno gear to craft recently played Xeno gear to craft recently played Xeno gear to craft skills and weapons and armor and skills and weapons and armor and skills and weapons and armor and equipment and all that you need to be equipment and all that you need to be equipment and all that you need to be playing online because you can have playing online because you can have playing online because you can have higher drop rates for those materials higher drop rates for those materials higher drop rates for those materials that you can use to craft so that's get that you can use to craft so that's get that you can use to craft so that's get the that and you can get the tickets or the that and you can get the tickets or the that and you can get the tickets or you can get the resources through online you can get the resources through online you can get the resources through online much more quickly and one thing that's much more quickly and one thing that's much more quickly and one thing that's very nice is in the barracks there's a very nice is in the barracks there's a very nice is in the barracks there's a um little device that you exchange um little device that you exchange um little device that you exchange tickets for certain rewards but you can tickets for certain rewards but you can tickets for certain rewards but you can pretty much in that reward list is every pretty much in that reward list is every pretty much in that reward list is every single Monster drop including the higher single Monster drop including the higher single Monster drop including the higher end on so at that point if you have the end on so at that point if you have the end on so at that point if you have the tickets you can get it regardless of how tickets you can get it regardless of how tickets you can get it regardless of how valuable the drop rate is it'll just valuable the drop rate is it'll just valuable the drop rate is it'll just cost more tickets yeah um that helped me

cost more tickets yeah um that helped me cost more tickets yeah um that helped me with getting the flight module cuz I with getting the flight module cuz I with getting the flight module cuz I still had a lot of reward tickets still had a lot of reward tickets still had a lot of reward tickets because that system was still available because that system was still available because that system was still available and I couldn't find like some like wings and I couldn't find like some like wings and I couldn't find like some like wings that I needed or something so I just that I needed or something so I just that I needed or something so I just went to the dashboard and I got those went to the dashboard and I got those went to the dashboard and I got those wings and I got the flly mod much wings and I got the flly mod much wings and I got the flly mod much quicker and then there's one other quicker and then there's one other quicker and then there's one other segment um about the online play is when segment um about the online play is when segment um about the online play is when a certain amount of tasks or a certain a certain amount of tasks or a certain a certain amount of tasks or a certain amount of progression have been done amount of progression have been done amount of progression have been done essentially and this is happens this essentially and this is happens this essentially and this is happens this will happen when you open the game and will happen when you open the game and will happen when you open the game and you select whether to go online or not you select whether to go online or not you select whether to go online or not there's this whole arcing um percentage there's this whole arcing um percentage there's this whole arcing um percentage bar when it's completely full that means bar when it's completely full that means bar when it's completely full that means that a special online mission to fight that a special online mission to fight that a special online mission to fight jth zero goes up with yth being the jth zero goes up with yth being the jth zero goes up with yth being the hardest m in the game aside from the hardest m in the game aside from the hardest m in the game aside from the final super boss but it's one of the final super boss but it's one of the final super boss but it's one of the hardest mobs in the game to fight and hardest mobs in the game to fight and hardest mobs in the game to fight and you'd have X amount of time to fight it you'd have X amount of time to fight it you'd have X amount of time to fight it you could keep going online and fighting you could keep going online and fighting you could keep going online and fighting it over and over again um and depending it over and over again um and depending it over and over again um and depending on how many times because its health bar on how many times because its health bar on how many times because its health bar always resets when it goes down it'll always resets when it goes down it'll always resets when it goes down it'll just be another health bar behind it so just be another health bar behind it so just be another health bar behind it so it's it it's impossible to kill but you it's it it's impossible to kill but you it's it it's impossible to kill but you just keep whittling at all its health just keep whittling at all its health just keep whittling at all its health bars and eventually when the event bars and eventually when the event bars and eventually when the event concluded you would get a large amount concluded you would get a large amount concluded you would get a large amount of tickets and resources based off of of tickets and resources based off of of tickets and resources based off of how many times everyone online was able how many times everyone online was able how many times everyone online was able to to beat it uh so that was pretty cool to to beat it uh so that was pretty cool to to beat it uh so that was pretty cool but yes I would love to see a lot more but yes I would love to see a lot more but yes I would love to see a lot more than just six or seven online bouts um than just six or seven online bouts um than just six or seven online bouts um the lobby was pretty fun sometimes

the lobby was pretty fun sometimes the lobby was pretty fun sometimes because they give you a handful of because they give you a handful of because they give you a handful of emotes that were a little goofy yeah um emotes that were a little goofy yeah um emotes that were a little goofy yeah um you could exchange cards and one other you could exchange cards and one other you could exchange cards and one other aspect about online um was also the fact aspect about online um was also the fact aspect about online um was also the fact that you could recruit people and and that you could recruit people and and that you could recruit people and and they would join you on your team you they would join you on your team you they would join you on your team you would just go up uh I get it would be would just go up uh I get it would be would just go up uh I get it would be um it would be a stand next to Elanor um it would be a stand next to Elanor um it would be a stand next to Elanor because Elanor Elanor is the quest giver because Elanor Elanor is the quest giver because Elanor Elanor is the quest giver and I believe to her left was another and I believe to her left was another and I believe to her left was another area where you can click on a um you can area where you can click on a um you can area where you can click on a um you can click on a menu open it up and there click on a menu open it up and there click on a menu open it up and there would be all these different um online would be all these different um online would be all these different um online characters like their main their crosses characters like their main their crosses characters like their main their crosses their main characters and you be like oh their main characters and you be like oh their main characters and you be like oh um I could actually go with another um I could actually go with another um I could actually go with another person that's like a um that's running person that's like a um that's running person that's like a um that's running the um full metal Jaguar like me and the um full metal Jaguar like me and the um full metal Jaguar like me and Elman then we have like three F metal Elman then we have like three F metal Elman then we have like three F metal Jaguars and we can do that oh that's Jaguars and we can do that oh that's Jaguars and we can do that oh that's cool um and so they wouldn't gain any cool um and so they wouldn't gain any cool um and so they wouldn't gain any experience but I believe if someone used experience but I believe if someone used experience but I believe if someone used your character and I could be wrong on your character and I could be wrong on your character and I could be wrong on this but if I'm trying my best to this but if I'm trying my best to this but if I'm trying my best to remember it if someone used your remember it if someone used your remember it if someone used your character you would get a portion of the character you would get a portion of the character you would get a portion of the rewards uh for things that they killed rewards uh for things that they killed rewards uh for things that they killed or beat so that was also very cool I or beat so that was also very cool I or beat so that was also very cool I would love to see a lot more because would love to see a lot more because would love to see a lot more because again the fact is as as I mentioned again the fact is as as I mentioned again the fact is as as I mentioned earlier online co-op and multiplayer earlier online co-op and multiplayer earlier online co-op and multiplayer functionality was severely limited functionality was severely limited functionality was severely limited because they only Built that stuff up because they only Built that stuff up because they only Built that stuff up halfway into development so with halfway into development so with halfway into development so with definitive there's no telling what they definitive there's no telling what they definitive there's no telling what they could add on to it I was yeah I was could add on to it I was yeah I was could add on to it I was yeah I was going to say too um and I think you were

going to say too um and I think you were going to say too um and I think you were there when I was talking about this nich there when I was talking about this nich there when I was talking about this nich quck but um if you look at the very very quck but um if you look at the very very quck but um if you look at the very very first trailer for xenoa X yes um yeah first trailer for xenoa X yes um yeah first trailer for xenoa X yes um yeah there was a box at the bottom left when there was a box at the bottom left when there was a box at the bottom left when they were out in the open world yeah they were out in the open world yeah they were out in the open world yeah when I first saw that I thought that was when I first saw that I thought that was when I first saw that I thought that was like the Action commands like oh heal like the Action commands like oh heal like the Action commands like oh heal and like do this and do that saying that and like do this and do that saying that and like do this and do that saying that to your other teammates but was that to your other teammates but was that to your other teammates but was that actually like a kind of messaging thing actually like a kind of messaging thing actually like a kind of messaging thing yeah yeah so theoretically it could be yeah yeah so theoretically it could be yeah yeah so theoretically it could be what I think or what I hope happens with what I think or what I hope happens with what I think or what I hope happens with Xeno x a definitive edition is that some Xeno x a definitive edition is that some Xeno x a definitive edition is that some of the things that they like uh y dreo of the things that they like uh y dreo of the things that they like uh y dreo was saying like some of the things that was saying like some of the things that was saying like some of the things that they may have cut because they didn't they may have cut because they didn't they may have cut because they didn't have enough time or because like you have enough time or because like you have enough time or because like you know of limited resources or whatever know of limited resources or whatever know of limited resources or whatever that they just kind of finish up and add that they just kind of finish up and add that they just kind of finish up and add all that for the definitive edition you all that for the definitive edition you all that for the definitive edition you know to fully realize like what they know to fully realize like what they know to fully realize like what they intended on doing with this game so um intended on doing with this game so um intended on doing with this game so um yeah so so that that's what I'm hoping yeah so so that that's what I'm hoping yeah so so that that's what I'm hoping for yeah I don't normally play like for yeah I don't normally play like for yeah I don't normally play like games online if ever at all like the games online if ever at all like the games online if ever at all like the last time I remember doing something last time I remember doing something last time I remember doing something like this was like Elden ring but I only like this was like Elden ring but I only like this was like Elden ring but I only did it like just a little because I was did it like just a little because I was did it like just a little because I was playing on Playstation most of my playing on Playstation most of my playing on Playstation most of my friends were on PC so I only had a few friends were on PC so I only had a few friends were on PC so I only had a few friends to play with it on Playstation friends to play with it on Playstation friends to play with it on Playstation but I I I've been waiting for something but I I I've been waiting for something but I I I've been waiting for something like this I was always like we need a XD like this I was always like we need a XD like this I was always like we need a XD or like monolos soft should like create or like monolos soft should like create or like monolos soft should like create their own kind of like single player MMO

their own kind of like single player MMO their own kind of like single player MMO kind of game with a new IP I still think kind of game with a new IP I still think kind of game with a new IP I still think that's possible but I don't really know that's possible but I don't really know that's possible but I don't really know now like my my predictions about their now like my my predictions about their now like my my predictions about their future are kind of like changing now future are kind of like changing now future are kind of like changing now that XD is actually announced and we're that XD is actually announced and we're that XD is actually announced and we're actually getting it yeah but um I I'm actually getting it yeah but um I I'm actually getting it yeah but um I I'm very excited to like engage with very excited to like engage with very excited to like engage with Xenoblade in this very different kind of Xenoblade in this very different kind of Xenoblade in this very different kind of way but one um one of the final things I way but one um one of the final things I way but one um one of the final things I want to talk about and this like we want to talk about and this like we want to talk about and this like we don't have to go too In The Weeds on don't have to go too In The Weeds on don't have to go too In The Weeds on this because like some of it like might this because like some of it like might this because like some of it like might be a little bit spoilery so this is be a little bit spoilery so this is be a little bit spoilery so this is mostly for like the newcomers to oh mostly for like the newcomers to oh mostly for like the newcomers to oh sorry this is for some of the Veterans sorry this is for some of the Veterans sorry this is for some of the Veterans for X not the newcomers but like I for X not the newcomers but like I for X not the newcomers but like I wanted to speculate a little bit about wanted to speculate a little bit about wanted to speculate a little bit about the additional story and me having the additional story and me having the additional story and me having recently beaten the game things are kind recently beaten the game things are kind recently beaten the game things are kind of fresh in my mind but I need to like of fresh in my mind but I need to like of fresh in my mind but I need to like go back and look into a lot of the lore go back and look into a lot of the lore go back and look into a lot of the lore because like there's a lot of stuff because like there's a lot of stuff because like there's a lot of stuff about this in like art of Meera and like about this in like art of Meera and like about this in like art of Meera and like the art books and all that so I have to the art books and all that so I have to the art books and all that so I have to go back and brush up on some videos from go back and brush up on some videos from go back and brush up on some videos from like JB and Savin and all these like JB and Savin and all these like JB and Savin and all these Xenoblade x a really devout fan who have Xenoblade x a really devout fan who have Xenoblade x a really devout fan who have a lot of theories about this but uh some a lot of theories about this but uh some a lot of theories about this but uh some of me and my friends have been like um of me and my friends have been like um of me and my friends have been like um theorizing casually about what this theorizing casually about what this theorizing casually about what this could be but I am very happy for could be but I am very happy for could be but I am very happy for especially you guys who have been especially you guys who have been especially you guys who have been waiting 10 years for this that that waiting 10 years for this that that waiting 10 years for this that that Cliffhanger ending is finally going to Cliffhanger ending is finally going to Cliffhanger ending is finally going to be resolved and like this is kind of

be resolved and like this is kind of be resolved and like this is kind of like delving into spoilers now but there like delving into spoilers now but there like delving into spoilers now but there was like two Cliffhangers that I noticed was like two Cliffhangers that I noticed was like two Cliffhangers that I noticed like one was that like the life hold was like one was that like the life hold was like one was that like the life hold was like already destroyed and the other one like already destroyed and the other one like already destroyed and the other one was like who who is the who is the Black was like who who is the who is the Black was like who who is the who is the Black Knight so I'm excited to see both of Knight so I'm excited to see both of Knight so I'm excited to see both of those resolved and I wanted to like ask those resolved and I wanted to like ask those resolved and I wanted to like ask you guys what do you think this new you guys what do you think this new you guys what do you think this new additional story is going to be is it additional story is going to be is it additional story is going to be is it going to be like a future connected kind going to be like a future connected kind going to be like a future connected kind of thing or do you think we're just of thing or do you think we're just of thing or do you think we're just going to get like a few additional going to get like a few additional going to get like a few additional chapters tacked on to the end of the chapters tacked on to the end of the chapters tacked on to the end of the game are we allowed to talk in full game are we allowed to talk in full game are we allowed to talk in full because I think we should spoiler tag because I think we should spoiler tag because I think we should spoiler tag this section oh yeah I I I've given a this section oh yeah I I I've given a this section oh yeah I I I've given a like of course I mentioned spoilers like of course I mentioned spoilers like of course I mentioned spoilers before but like this is another spoiler before but like this is another spoiler before but like this is another spoiler warning I'll put it in the time stamps warning I'll put it in the time stamps warning I'll put it in the time stamps as well but yeah we can we can go in so as well but yeah we can we can go in so as well but yeah we can we can go in so okay so here's the thing for me here's okay so here's the thing for me here's okay so here's the thing for me here's the the the thing thing thing if okay let's look at Xenoblade one two if okay let's look at Xenoblade one two if okay let's look at Xenoblade one two and three right all of those got these and three right all of those got these and three right all of those got these pretty expansive like story add-ons pretty expansive like story add-ons pretty expansive like story add-ons right now I'm not going to say I know right now I'm not going to say I know right now I'm not going to say I know for sure whether this is going to be for sure whether this is going to be for sure whether this is going to be kind of a light kind of like fill in the kind of a light kind of like fill in the kind of a light kind of like fill in the blanks kind of story add-on or if it's blanks kind of story add-on or if it's blanks kind of story add-on or if it's going to be a fullon expansion uh like going to be a fullon expansion uh like going to be a fullon expansion uh like future connected or uh golden country or future connected or uh golden country or future connected or uh golden country or uh future redeemed but bro out of all uh future redeemed but bro out of all uh future redeemed but bro out of all the games that that need something like the games that that need something like the games that that need something like that this needed it I feel like this that this needed it I feel like this that this needed it I feel like this needs it more than all of those you know needs it more than all of those you know needs it more than all of those you know so I mean I don't know what they intend

so I mean I don't know what they intend so I mean I don't know what they intend on doing but man I I I think they should on doing but man I I I think they should on doing but man I I I think they should go the the fullon expansion route now go the the fullon expansion route now go the the fullon expansion route now they could just be like oh we're just they could just be like oh we're just they could just be like oh we're just going to explain that and the theory is going to explain that and the theory is going to explain that and the theory is uh since we're in spoiler we can talk uh since we're in spoiler we can talk uh since we're in spoiler we can talk spoilers a little bit the theory is that spoilers a little bit the theory is that spoilers a little bit the theory is that uh or maybe there's a bunch of theories uh or maybe there's a bunch of theories uh or maybe there's a bunch of theories that merror is sentient like the planet that merror is sentient like the planet that merror is sentient like the planet itself is is like uh it has a mind and itself is is like uh it has a mind and itself is is like uh it has a mind and everything um but I don't know I feel everything um but I don't know I feel everything um but I don't know I feel like you can't if that's really where like you can't if that's really where like you can't if that's really where they're going you got to explain so much they're going you got to explain so much they're going you got to explain so much like there's so much you got to get into like there's so much you got to get into like there's so much you got to get into in my opinion like uh I don't know if in my opinion like uh I don't know if in my opinion like uh I don't know if that can just be like a single chapter that can just be like a single chapter that can just be like a single chapter exactly especially by the way by the way exactly especially by the way by the way exactly especially by the way by the way especially considering how Takahashi especially considering how Takahashi especially considering how Takahashi writes I can't Takahashi is a very like writes I can't Takahashi is a very like writes I can't Takahashi is a very like dense like overly convoluted guy you dense like overly convoluted guy you dense like overly convoluted guy you know what I'm saying so I can't see him know what I'm saying so I can't see him know what I'm saying so I can't see him being like Oh yeah you know a couple being like Oh yeah you know a couple being like Oh yeah you know a couple sentences just to explain why the life sentences just to explain why the life sentences just to explain why the life holds were still alive and that's it or holds were still alive and that's it or holds were still alive and that's it or why the life holds were actually why the life holds were actually why the life holds were actually destroyed already and then that's it no destroyed already and then that's it no destroyed already and then that's it no Takashi is the type of guy he's going to Takashi is the type of guy he's going to Takashi is the type of guy he's going to go into detail he's going to overe go into detail he's going to overe go into detail he's going to overe explain he's going to add in all these explain he's going to add in all these explain he's going to add in all these extra things extra things extra things so I'm just going to talk about what I so I'm just going to talk about what I so I'm just going to talk about what I I'm just going to put that out into the I'm just going to put that out into the I'm just going to put that out into the universe that's what I hope happens I I universe that's what I hope happens I I universe that's what I hope happens I I hope to because you know how a future

hope to because you know how a future hope to because you know how a future connected you could like start from the connected you could like start from the connected you could like start from the very beginning you could just go all the very beginning you could just go all the very beginning you could just go all the way down go to extra story and started way down go to extra story and started way down go to extra story and started so a lot of people who had already so a lot of people who had already so a lot of people who had already played xenoa 1 like the first thing they played xenoa 1 like the first thing they played xenoa 1 like the first thing they did when they got Definitive Edition was did when they got Definitive Edition was did when they got Definitive Edition was star future connected and that would be star future connected and that would be star future connected and that would be nice if you could do that with Xenoblade nice if you could do that with Xenoblade nice if you could do that with Xenoblade X like starting the extra story from the X like starting the extra story from the X like starting the extra story from the very beginning because that's what I very beginning because that's what I very beginning because that's what I would want to do I would want to would want to do I would want to would want to do I would want to experience the extra story right from experience the extra story right from experience the extra story right from the start so I can avoid spoilers just the start so I can avoid spoilers just the start so I can avoid spoilers just see what that is and then jump back into see what that is and then jump back into see what that is and then jump back into X and just have fun once again with the X and just have fun once again with the X and just have fun once again with the game Ah that's a good point yeah to game Ah that's a good point yeah to game Ah that's a good point yeah to avoid cuz people are some people are avoid cuz people are some people are avoid cuz people are some people are going to yeah that's true I I hope so going to yeah that's true I I hope so going to yeah that's true I I hope so because think about how like I spent because think about how like I spent because think about how like I spent like 110 15 hours in the game if I have like 110 15 hours in the game if I have like 110 15 hours in the game if I have to spend all that time just to see the to spend all that time just to see the to spend all that time just to see the additional content at the end that's additional content at the end that's additional content at the end that's going to that's going to be tough so I going to that's going to be tough so I going to that's going to be tough so I really hope it's available from the really hope it's available from the really hope it's available from the start start start and yeah I think um a lot of people were and yeah I think um a lot of people were and yeah I think um a lot of people were saying like it might just be a few saying like it might just be a few saying like it might just be a few additional chapters I think that is additional chapters I think that is additional chapters I think that is possible but like GK I think you brought possible but like GK I think you brought possible but like GK I think you brought up a really good point that like there's up a really good point that like there's up a really good point that like there's a lot that they need to explain in this a lot that they need to explain in this a lot that they need to explain in this because I was talking about in my video because I was talking about in my video because I was talking about in my video where I was like the main threat was the where I was like the main threat was the where I was like the main threat was the gangan You' defeated the ganglion but gangan You' defeated the ganglion but gangan You' defeated the ganglion but the big like question after that is what the big like question after that is what the big like question after that is what is the mystery of mea there is something is the mystery of mea there is something is the mystery of mea there is something about this planet what is it and that is about this planet what is it and that is about this planet what is it and that is like there's so much that you can like there's so much that you can like there's so much that you can explore in that you can explore like

explore in that you can explore like explore in that you can explore like mimus lore you can explore like Black mimus lore you can explore like Black mimus lore you can explore like Black Knight lore claran lore like all these Knight lore claran lore like all these Knight lore claran lore like all these things uh ghosts ghosts are like the things uh ghosts ghosts are like the things uh ghosts ghosts are like the entities that were not even referenced entities that were not even referenced entities that were not even referenced in the game but in the art book and like in the game but in the art book and like in the game but in the art book and like ghost and elma's race like where does ghost and elma's race like where does ghost and elma's race like where does Elma come from all these questions can Elma come from all these questions can Elma come from all these questions can be answered in this and I think that is be answered in this and I think that is be answered in this and I think that is more than just a few chapters like I was more than just a few chapters like I was more than just a few chapters like I was on the few chapters camp but now I think on the few chapters camp but now I think on the few chapters camp but now I think like we we need a full-on expansion that like we we need a full-on expansion that like we we need a full-on expansion that we can experience in the very beginning we can experience in the very beginning we can experience in the very beginning of the game I would I would appreciate of the game I would I would appreciate of the game I would I would appreciate that well the ghosts are in the game that well the ghosts are in the game that well the ghosts are in the game they're actually the purple entities at they're actually the purple entities at they're actually the purple entities at the very start of the game it's just the very start of the game it's just the very start of the game it's just it's they're there but they're not like it's they're there but they're not like it's they're there but they're not like referenced as ghosts they're not they're referenced as ghosts they're not they're referenced as ghosts they're not they're not whatsoever but yes at the very start not whatsoever but yes at the very start not whatsoever but yes at the very start of the game how it's the Samar of the game how it's the Samar of the game how it's the Samar Federation and the ganglion are just one Federation and the ganglion are just one Federation and the ganglion are just one tiny percentage of the Federation versus tiny percentage of the Federation versus tiny percentage of the Federation versus these ghosts um that are the ghosts are these ghosts um that are the ghosts are these ghosts um that are the ghosts are what follow us but we somehow land on what follow us but we somehow land on what follow us but we somehow land on mirror and there's gangling on merror um mirror and there's gangling on merror um mirror and there's gangling on merror um so that's like what is what's going on so that's like what is what's going on so that's like what is what's going on here so yeah there's there's many I here so yeah there's there's many I here so yeah there's there's many I wouldn't say discrepencies but very wouldn't say discrepencies but very wouldn't say discrepencies but very loose ends that is this game going to loose ends that is this game going to loose ends that is this game going to lead into an X2 if so what we need is to lead into an X2 if so what we need is to lead into an X2 if so what we need is to have um because if they're going to have um because if they're going to have um because if they're going to conclude everything somehow in these in conclude everything somehow in these in conclude everything somehow in these in these post chapters that is a lot of these post chapters that is a lot of these post chapters that is a lot of loose threads that they need to weave loose threads that they need to weave loose threads that they need to weave and connect together for it to all make

and connect together for it to all make and connect together for it to all make sense coherently and for it to feel sense coherently and for it to feel sense coherently and for it to feel satisfying I don't think that's going to satisfying I don't think that's going to satisfying I don't think that's going to be the case I don't think we're going to be the case I don't think we're going to be the case I don't think we're going to get a full ending to the story after all get a full ending to the story after all get a full ending to the story after all the story never truly ends yeah um we're the story never truly ends yeah um we're the story never truly ends yeah um we're going to what I think is going to happen going to what I think is going to happen going to what I think is going to happen is they're going to take these threads is they're going to take these threads is they're going to take these threads by the hand full and they're going to by the hand full and they're going to by the hand full and they're going to connect them into smaller more coherent connect them into smaller more coherent connect them into smaller more coherent threads where we can get a sense of what threads where we can get a sense of what threads where we can get a sense of what things are but they're not going to things are but they're not going to things are but they're not going to still conclude everything we're going to still conclude everything we're going to still conclude everything we're going to get a little more closure with Lao we're get a little more closure with Lao we're get a little more closure with Lao we're going to finally know who our Black going to finally know who our Black going to finally know who our Black Knight figure is we're going to maybe Knight figure is we're going to maybe Knight figure is we're going to maybe understand maybe a little more history understand maybe a little more history understand maybe a little more history about how um Elma knew to go to Earth about how um Elma knew to go to Earth about how um Elma knew to go to Earth and maybe a little bit more speculation and maybe a little bit more speculation and maybe a little bit more speculation about Samar Federation the ghosts Etc about Samar Federation the ghosts Etc about Samar Federation the ghosts Etc what happened on uh on the uh what happened on uh on the uh what happened on uh on the uh destruction of Earth exactly because one destruction of Earth exactly because one destruction of Earth exactly because one of the theories I've touted for the of the theories I've touted for the of the theories I've touted for the longest time is Exodus day and cl longest time is Exodus day and cl longest time is Exodus day and cl pushing the button aren't mutually ex pushing the button aren't mutually ex pushing the button aren't mutually ex exclusive but for that you know we'll exclusive but for that you know we'll exclusive but for that you know we'll need to know a little bit more about the need to know a little bit more about the need to know a little bit more about the savey rebels and things like that savey rebels and things like that savey rebels and things like that they're wait hold on hold on you're they're wait hold on hold on you're they're wait hold on hold on you're saying that you you feel like Xenoblade saying that you you feel like Xenoblade saying that you you feel like Xenoblade one is connected to one is connected to one is connected to X it's such a very hard push I fully X it's such a very hard push I fully X it's such a very hard push I fully know it's very I can't even fully know it's very I can't even fully know it's very I can't even fully believe that a lot are trying to connect believe that a lot are trying to connect believe that a lot are trying to connect x to the numbered games I don't think so

x to the numbered games I don't think so x to the numbered games I don't think so but here's one thing that is is kind of but here's one thing that is is kind of but here's one thing that is is kind of like annoying me a little bit people are like annoying me a little bit people are like annoying me a little bit people are watching the trailer for xde and like watching the trailer for xde and like watching the trailer for xde and like Lynn is like narrating about like what's Lynn is like narrating about like what's Lynn is like narrating about like what's been what's been happening new La is been what's been happening new La is been what's been happening new La is there a beautiful lie to ourselves and there a beautiful lie to ourselves and there a beautiful lie to ourselves and then it shows like Earth being blown up then it shows like Earth being blown up then it shows like Earth being blown up and then there's like a video transition and then there's like a video transition and then there's like a video transition it's like an effect that they did in it's like an effect that they did in it's like an effect that they did in editing I'm sure that it shows like a editing I'm sure that it shows like a editing I'm sure that it shows like a bright light and then it goes into the bright light and then it goes into the bright light and then it goes into the next scene and like oh my God it's next scene and like oh my God it's next scene and like oh my God it's class's experiment I'm like no it's class's experiment I'm like no it's class's experiment I'm like no it's literally literally literally no it's it's a scene no it's it's a scene no it's it's a scene transition like very clear they they did transition like very clear they they did transition like very clear they they did something special where they had because something special where they had because something special where they had because the Earth took up 80% of the screen they the Earth took up 80% of the screen they the Earth took up 80% of the screen they had the they had the glowup start with had the they had the glowup start with had the they had the glowup start with the Earth that's literally it I fully the Earth that's literally it I fully the Earth that's literally it I fully believe that's just a believe that's just a believe that's just a transition not a pH transition or sorry transition not a pH transition or sorry transition not a pH transition or sorry there's two things that I believe that there's two things that I believe that there's two things that I believe that can connect this to the number of can connect this to the number of can connect this to the number of Xenoblade games but I'll get into that a Xenoblade games but I'll get into that a Xenoblade games but I'll get into that a little bit later little bit later little bit later but what were you saying about the but what were you saying about the but what were you saying about the experiment and stuff what were you experiment and stuff what were you experiment and stuff what were you saying saying saying no it's it's still just a very hard no it's it's still just a very hard no it's it's still just a very hard stretch but I I I would like to believe stretch but I I I would like to believe stretch but I I I would like to believe in the madness that is monolist soft in the madness that is monolist soft in the madness that is monolist soft somewhere along the way someone's somewhere along the way someone's somewhere along the way someone's thinking how can I connect Exodus day thinking how can I connect Exodus day thinking how can I connect Exodus day and the separation of uh like the and the separation of uh like the and the separation of uh like the creation of these parallel Worlds the creation of these parallel Worlds the creation of these parallel Worlds the realm of possibility because I don't realm of possibility because I don't realm of possibility because I don't like looking back at it Xeno Blade 1 had like looking back at it Xeno Blade 1 had like looking back at it Xeno Blade 1 had redcon they weren't like massive redcon redcon they weren't like massive redcon redcon they weren't like massive redcon but they were redcon to fit into Xeno

but they were redcon to fit into Xeno but they were redcon to fit into Xeno Blade 2 Blade 2 Blade 2 the thing the thing the thing is I like me and particularly my buddy is I like me and particularly my buddy is I like me and particularly my buddy Dum Zeno on the channel Dum Zeno he and Dum Zeno on the channel Dum Zeno he and Dum Zeno on the channel Dum Zeno he and I were discussing a lot of this stuff I were discussing a lot of this stuff I were discussing a lot of this stuff after I beat X and after we like after I beat X and after we like after I beat X and after we like discussed about future redeemed and all discussed about future redeemed and all discussed about future redeemed and all that stuff but there is a lot of that stuff but there is a lot of that stuff but there is a lot of similarities similarities similarities to the lifeold in origin and to mea and to the lifeold in origin and to mea and to the lifeold in origin and to mea and ionos and like it's not exactly ionos and like it's not exactly ionos and like it's not exactly connected connected connected but what we were thinking was if the but what we were thinking was if the but what we were thinking was if the Xenoblade X events happen in a parallel Xenoblade X events happen in a parallel Xenoblade X events happen in a parallel universe there could be some kind of universe there could be some kind of universe there could be some kind of origin technology which is not the same origin technology which is not the same origin technology which is not the same origin that was built in like xblade one origin that was built in like xblade one origin that was built in like xblade one and two's world but a similar kind of and two's world but a similar kind of and two's world but a similar kind of technology that is explaining a lot of technology that is explaining a lot of technology that is explaining a lot of these weird events like why is miror these weird events like why is miror these weird events like why is miror like a jigsaw puzzle of different like a jigsaw puzzle of different like a jigsaw puzzle of different planets why is all why are all the weird planets why is all why are all the weird planets why is all why are all the weird stuff happening in meor a lot of these stuff happening in meor a lot of these stuff happening in meor a lot of these things can almost not a lot of them can things can almost not a lot of them can things can almost not a lot of them can be explained because like oh it feels be explained because like oh it feels be explained because like oh it feels like origin but a lot of it sort of can like origin but a lot of it sort of can like origin but a lot of it sort of can like you guys remember that cut scene at like you guys remember that cut scene at like you guys remember that cut scene at the end of X where like the cat was like the end of X where like the cat was like the end of X where like the cat was like being created back into like like a a being created back into like like a a being created back into like like a a normal cat like from the DNA of like all normal cat like from the DNA of like all normal cat like from the DNA of like all that stuff I was like dude this reminds that stuff I was like dude this reminds that stuff I was like dude this reminds me of three this reminds me of like me of three this reminds me of like me of three this reminds me of like people storing their lives with core

people storing their lives with core people storing their lives with core crystals into origin and then like it's crystals into origin and then like it's crystals into origin and then like it's just recreated in the new world or just recreated in the new world or just recreated in the new world or something like that yeah one more one something like that yeah one more one something like that yeah one more one more thing on that before we move to the more thing on that before we move to the more thing on that before we move to the next topic um uh I saw when Nintendo next topic um uh I saw when Nintendo next topic um uh I saw when Nintendo originally promoted Xeno X on their originally promoted Xeno X on their originally promoted Xeno X on their Twitter they did call the game a Twitter they did call the game a Twitter they did call the game a spiritual successor yeah they were very spiritual successor yeah they were very spiritual successor yeah they were very specific to say a so so I I do Wonder specific to say a so so I I do Wonder specific to say a so so I I do Wonder but I mean I don't know there's the but I mean I don't know there's the but I mean I don't know there's the monado hairo that L has and then there's monado hairo that L has and then there's monado hairo that L has and then there's that one quest with the um with the one that one quest with the um with the one that one quest with the um with the one noon that references um like the legend noon that references um like the legend noon that references um like the legend of the sword of legendar yeah yeah yeah of the sword of legendar yeah yeah yeah of the sword of legendar yeah yeah yeah Legend legendary Frontier Village Legend legendary Frontier Village Legend legendary Frontier Village there's so many refences Tatu mentions there's so many refences Tatu mentions there's so many refences Tatu mentions hes yeah I don't know I don't know I mean yeah I don't know I don't know I mean the thing is I'm not getting my up I'm the thing is I'm not getting my up I'm the thing is I'm not getting my up I'm not getting my hopes up because like if not getting my hopes up because like if not getting my hopes up because like if if they want to connect it to the if they want to connect it to the if they want to connect it to the mainline games or not Mainline I just mainline games or not Mainline I just mainline games or not Mainline I just the clous games the numbered games this the clous games the numbered games this the clous games the numbered games this is an opportunity for them to do so I is an opportunity for them to do so I is an opportunity for them to do so I don't think they will but there are don't think they will but there are don't think they will but there are hints that or there are parallels that I hints that or there are parallels that I hints that or there are parallels that I see and back to the origin and lifeold see and back to the origin and lifeold see and back to the origin and lifeold thing if there is something like origin thing if there is something like origin thing if there is something like origin that is like governing all the weirdness that is like governing all the weirdness that is like governing all the weirdness happening in mea maybe the people who happening in mea maybe the people who happening in mea maybe the people who are trolling that are similar to Mobius

are trolling that are similar to Mobius are trolling that are similar to Mobius and consoles this is getting way in the and consoles this is getting way in the and consoles this is getting way in the weeds this is like probably none of it's weeds this is like probably none of it's weeds this is like probably none of it's going to happen but the way we saw the going to happen but the way we saw the going to happen but the way we saw the Black Knight in the art book looks eily Black Knight in the art book looks eily Black Knight in the art book looks eily similar to a console or a Mobius and similar to a console or a Mobius and similar to a console or a Mobius and again I'm not getting my hopes up but it again I'm not getting my hopes up but it again I'm not getting my hopes up but it would be kind of insane if those are would be kind of insane if those are would be kind of insane if those are parallels and a lot of people are saying parallels and a lot of people are saying parallels and a lot of people are saying that the Black Knight sounds like David that the Black Knight sounds like David that the Black Knight sounds like David Menin I don't know about that yet I if Menin I don't know about that yet I if Menin I don't know about that yet I if if it is malos I'll like freak out but if it is malos I'll like freak out but if it is malos I'll like freak out but I'm not getting my hopes up about that I'm not getting my hopes up about that I'm not getting my hopes up about that that would be one way to his roles that would be one way to his roles that would be one way to his roles concluded in one through three but we concluded in one through three but we concluded in one through three but we still know through the ionos moments still know through the ionos moments still know through the ionos moments book that there's still something to go book that there's still something to go book that there's still something to go on with malos later on there's still a on with malos later on there's still a on with malos later on there's still a lot of stuff left behind with regards lot of stuff left behind with regards lot of stuff left behind with regards for two's side of the transition into for two's side of the transition into for two's side of the transition into three um as compared to Zen blade 1es um three um as compared to Zen blade 1es um three um as compared to Zen blade 1es um so there's still quite a lot of room so there's still quite a lot of room so there's still quite a lot of room that they could explain a few things that they could explain a few things that they could explain a few things about single blade 2's characters appar about single blade 2's characters appar about single blade 2's characters appar es um David es um David es um David men I would I would much rather the men I would I would much rather the men I would I would much rather the black Knight's identity be the uh forgot black Knight's identity be the uh forgot black Knight's identity be the uh forgot not forgotten the UN hero the original not forgotten the UN hero the original not forgotten the UN hero the original hero of the game he's also elma's hero of the game he's also elma's hero of the game he's also elma's original partner right it was elma's original partner right it was elma's original partner right it was elma's original partner they sacrificed thems original partner they sacrificed thems original partner they sacrificed thems because when the ghosts caught up to the because when the ghosts caught up to the because when the ghosts caught up to the white whale um and they attacked they white whale um and they attacked they white whale um and they attacked they actually breached a segment of the actually breached a segment of the actually breached a segment of the residential district and and uh elma's residential district and and uh elma's residential district and and uh elma's partner wasted no time in getting on his

partner wasted no time in getting on his partner wasted no time in getting on his scale and fending it off and in a last scale and fending it off and in a last scale and fending it off and in a last ditch effort to secure the residential ditch effort to secure the residential ditch effort to secure the residential district and make sure all the people district and make sure all the people district and make sure all the people there were okay he literally ejected him there were okay he literally ejected him there were okay he literally ejected him and his skele with the ghost out into and his skele with the ghost out into and his skele with the ghost out into space Oh yeah in space scales are not space Oh yeah in space scales are not space Oh yeah in space scales are not capable of space travel so he willingly capable of space travel so he willingly capable of space travel so he willingly sacrificed himself and just let his um sacrificed himself and just let his um sacrificed himself and just let his um body essentially Float On into space now body essentially Float On into space now body essentially Float On into space now it could be that mirror works in it could be that mirror works in it could be that mirror works in mysterious ways there's maybe just plain mysterious ways there's maybe just plain mysterious ways there's maybe just plain old gravity or something um but Mir is old gravity or something um but Mir is old gravity or something um but Mir is very exceptional about taking things very exceptional about taking things very exceptional about taking things that shouldn't be there and putting them that shouldn't be there and putting them that shouldn't be there and putting them on the on the on the planet and we planet and we planet and we know I don't know if you've completed know I don't know if you've completed know I don't know if you've completed yel story Nish quick um in one of the yel story Nish quick um in one of the yel story Nish quick um in one of the final bits of yeles missions they come final bits of yeles missions they come final bits of yeles missions they come across a piece of the mosome that was across a piece of the mosome that was across a piece of the mosome that was the original hero yeah um and another the original hero yeah um and another the original hero yeah um and another thing is um parts of cauldros if not all thing is um parts of cauldros if not all thing is um parts of cauldros if not all of cauldros was reminiscent of the of cauldros was reminiscent of the of cauldros was reminiscent of the rothan home world where gajar and Gab rothan home world where gajar and Gab rothan home world where gajar and Gab are from are from are from right so that's yeah that's that's right so that's yeah that's that's right so that's yeah that's that's another thing yeah yeah yeah interesting another thing yeah yeah yeah interesting another thing yeah yeah yeah interesting yeah and I would love I didn't get to yeah and I would love I didn't get to yeah and I would love I didn't get to talk about it yet but um with regards to talk about it yet but um with regards to talk about it yet but um with regards to what we could expect for new story what we could expect for new story what we could expect for new story whether it's a whether it's you know whether it's a whether it's you know whether it's a whether it's you know wait 120 hours for the new content um I

wait 120 hours for the new content um I wait 120 hours for the new content um I can see it being that way unfortunately can see it being that way unfortunately can see it being that way unfortunately again it could just be the way that the again it could just be the way that the again it could just be the way that the game is set up naturally would oppose a game is set up naturally would oppose a game is set up naturally would oppose a new story segment I would like it to be new story segment I would like it to be new story segment I would like it to be a new story segment completely a new story segment completely a new story segment completely independent you know for people like us independent you know for people like us independent you know for people like us who just want to go in I'm not going to who just want to go in I'm not going to who just want to go in I'm not going to be upset if that's not the case just be upset if that's not the case just be upset if that's not the case just because of the way um the because of the way um the because of the way um the game the the way the game presents game the the way the game presents game the the way the game presents itself um one thing I would like like to itself um one thing I would like like to itself um one thing I would like like to have seen is the incorporation of the have seen is the incorporation of the have seen is the incorporation of the four stories because there are four four stories because there are four four stories because there are four promotional stories that were created promotional stories that were created promotional stories that were created prior to the game being um released um prior to the game being um released um prior to the game being um released um they've been translated for years and they've been translated for years and they've been translated for years and years and I remember that was one of the years and I remember that was one of the years and I remember that was one of the things I would do to Hype myself up things I would do to Hype myself up things I would do to Hype myself up while waiting for it is I would read while waiting for it is I would read while waiting for it is I would read these stories um because for example why these stories um because for example why these stories um because for example why is planet mea named mea yeah it's named is planet mea named mea yeah it's named is planet mea named mea yeah it's named after Mira Tores who people won't know after Mira Tores who people won't know after Mira Tores who people won't know yeah um why are we showing up two months yeah um why are we showing up two months yeah um why are we showing up two months after what happened in the two months after what happened in the two months after what happened in the two months that um there was like a VanDam and that um there was like a VanDam and that um there was like a VanDam and noggi story right so many people know noggi story right so many people know noggi story right so many people know about Exodus day it's the day that we we about Exodus day it's the day that we we about Exodus day it's the day that we we left but there's also Independence Day left but there's also Independence Day left but there's also Independence Day which is the day the white whale crash which is the day the white whale crash which is the day the white whale crash lands on mea and for a solid 24 hours lands on mea and for a solid 24 hours lands on mea and for a solid 24 hours you know we've just took a whole chunk you know we've just took a whole chunk you know we've just took a whole chunk of primordia displays so many monsters of primordia displays so many monsters of primordia displays so many monsters these indigen they are on a absolute these indigen they are on a absolute these indigen they are on a absolute Rampage Rampage Rampage and it's a 24hour blood bath with nogy and it's a 24hour blood bath with nogy and it's a 24hour blood bath with nogy vandom anyone they can get their on um

vandom anyone they can get their on um vandom anyone they can get their on um trying to get to certain Depot so they trying to get to certain Depot so they trying to get to certain Depot so they can access their scales and it's just a can access their scales and it's just a can access their scales and it's just a blood bath to carve out the territory I blood bath to carve out the territory I blood bath to carve out the territory I did not read this I need to y'all need did not read this I need to y'all need did not read this I need to y'all need to link me that I need to yo I didn't to link me that I need to yo I didn't to link me that I need to yo I didn't not read those stories yeah there's not read those stories yeah there's not read those stories yeah there's another there's another segment where another there's another segment where another there's another segment where it's Lynn doing maintenance and meeting it's Lynn doing maintenance and meeting it's Lynn doing maintenance and meeting up with someone during their days in up with someone during their days in up with someone during their days in space and then the fourth one I think is space and then the fourth one I think is space and then the fourth one I think is Tatsu it explains why Tatsu shows up in Tatsu it explains why Tatsu shows up in Tatsu it explains why Tatsu shows up in the container at the very start of the the container at the very start of the the container at the very start of the game it's cuz he gets captured by by the game it's cuz he gets captured by by the game it's cuz he gets captured by by the the prone and in his moments of the prone and in his moments of the prone and in his moments of captivity while he's being transported captivity while he's being transported captivity while he's being transported he's looking up outside the container he's looking up outside the container he's looking up outside the container and he sees a shooting star and he and he sees a shooting star and he and he sees a shooting star and he wishes on the star that like something's wishes on the star that like something's wishes on the star that like something's going to change and he can be safe nice going to change and he can be safe nice going to change and he can be safe nice and then that's the white whale crashing and then that's the white whale crashing and then that's the white whale crashing um so but nagi's but NIS is my favorite um so but nagi's but NIS is my favorite um so but nagi's but NIS is my favorite and that's why I love Nagi and vandom so and that's why I love Nagi and vandom so and that's why I love Nagi and vandom so much it's just it's just two men just much it's just it's just two men just much it's just it's just two men just barely coming out of conscious like barely coming out of conscious like barely coming out of conscious like unconsciousness from Crash Landing and unconsciousness from Crash Landing and unconsciousness from Crash Landing and the first thing they see is the control the first thing they see is the control the first thing they see is the control Bay of the ship just being throttled by Bay of the ship just being throttled by Bay of the ship just being throttled by a monster like twice its size wow um so a monster like twice its size wow um so a monster like twice its size wow um so I just love going back to that I'm going I just love going back to that I'm going I just love going back to that I'm going to reread that actually definitely yeah to reread that actually definitely yeah to reread that actually definitely yeah definitely link that to us yeah that's definitely link that to us yeah that's definitely link that to us yeah that's Des can you imagine a bonus story like Des can you imagine a bonus story like Des can you imagine a bonus story like feature where it's just you plays nogi feature where it's just you plays nogi feature where it's just you plays nogi and then there's an actual playable vom

and then there's an actual playable vom and then there's an actual playable vom and it's just it's just a DJ scenario and it's just it's just a DJ scenario and it's just it's just a DJ scenario where you're just going right for it you where you're just going right for it you where you're just going right for it you like fight off wave after wave then you like fight off wave after wave then you like fight off wave after wave then you get in the skills I don't know I know get in the skills I don't know I know get in the skills I don't know I know they're not going to do that would be so they're not going to do that would be so they're not going to do that would be so it be cool to see stuff like that it be cool to see stuff like that it be cool to see stuff like that incorporated into the game because so incorporated into the game because so incorporated into the game because so people aren't going to know that yeah people aren't going to know that yeah people aren't going to know that yeah that that that's that's interesting yeah that that that's that's interesting yeah that that that's that's interesting yeah I remember you talked about this in a I remember you talked about this in a I remember you talked about this in a prior podcast we did but yeah like this prior podcast we did but yeah like this prior podcast we did but yeah like this is their opportunity to add more to the is their opportunity to add more to the is their opportunity to add more to the story like X already has a boatload of story like X already has a boatload of story like X already has a boatload of World building through the side quest World building through the side quest World building through the side quest the lore the it's just so much you can the lore the it's just so much you can the lore the it's just so much you can dig into with the World building of that dig into with the World building of that dig into with the World building of that game but even beyond that just adding game but even beyond that just adding game but even beyond that just adding more stuff finishing off the story it more stuff finishing off the story it more stuff finishing off the story it could answer so many questions and give could answer so many questions and give could answer so many questions and give us so much more like things to just chew us so much more like things to just chew us so much more like things to just chew on with this stuff on with this stuff on with this stuff the fact that so many loose threads the fact that so many loose threads the fact that so many loose threads still exist is both it's undoing when we still exist is both it's undoing when we still exist is both it's undoing when we think about it in the Wii U version of think about it in the Wii U version of think about it in the Wii U version of the game but it also has just allowed us the game but it also has just allowed us the game but it also has just allowed us to create so many scenarios so many to create so many scenarios so many to create so many scenarios so many Sparks so many ways things can go Sparks so many ways things can go Sparks so many ways things can go because it's it is Half Baked the the because it's it is Half Baked the the because it's it is Half Baked the the dough is yet to rise all the way there's dough is yet to rise all the way there's dough is yet to rise all the way there's so much that we can still learn and so much that we can still learn and so much that we can still learn and grasp in so many ways this story and all grasp in so many ways this story and all grasp in so many ways this story and all these segments can end up being that these segments can end up being that these segments can end up being that right now until we see more it's right now until we see more it's right now until we see more it's anyone's guess and I expect you know anyone's guess and I expect you know anyone's guess and I expect you know maybe the next time we see a trailer maybe the next time we see a trailer maybe the next time we see a trailer maybe it'll be the UI trailer or like

maybe it'll be the UI trailer or like maybe it'll be the UI trailer or like they're going to do like a combat they're going to do like a combat they're going to do like a combat trailer because there was a there was a trailer because there was a there was a trailer because there was a there was a Nintendo Direct specifically for how to Nintendo Direct specifically for how to Nintendo Direct specifically for how to play Zen Blade Chronicles X who knows we play Zen Blade Chronicles X who knows we play Zen Blade Chronicles X who knows we could have get something very similar a could have get something very similar a could have get something very similar a direct mini again for it all these know direct mini again for it all these know direct mini again for it all these know Xenoblade 1de overview trailer was Xenoblade 1de overview trailer was Xenoblade 1de overview trailer was narrated by dunban VA so what if we get narrated by dunban VA so what if we get narrated by dunban VA so what if we get a an X overview trailer narrated by Lao a an X overview trailer narrated by Lao a an X overview trailer narrated by Lao or someone that would be so cool that or someone that would be so cool that or someone that would be so cool that would be cool if they did it with Lao would be cool if they did it with Lao would be cool if they did it with Lao because a lot of people are probably because a lot of people are probably because a lot of people are probably going to look at La when the game begins going to look at La when the game begins going to look at La when the game begins I'm like why did they talk about why did I'm like why did they talk about why did I'm like why did they talk about why did they show this character so much I'm not they show this character so much I'm not they show this character so much I'm not really interacting with him to like really interacting with him to like really interacting with him to like chapter 4 chapter five why like why chapter 4 chapter five why like why chapter 4 chapter five why like why wouldn't it be like Elma VA who's who wouldn't it be like Elma VA who's who wouldn't it be like Elma VA who's who Elma VA has gone back like on Twitter Elma VA has gone back like on Twitter Elma VA has gone back like on Twitter and Stu it's like oh surprise look at and Stu it's like oh surprise look at and Stu it's like oh surprise look at all this get ready yeah yeah the more all this get ready yeah yeah the more all this get ready yeah yeah the more y'all the more y'all kind of uh talk y'all the more y'all kind of uh talk y'all the more y'all kind of uh talk about it though more I'm about it though more I'm about it though more I'm like considering all of the loose ends like considering all of the loose ends like considering all of the loose ends in the game it does seem like it will in the game it does seem like it will in the game it does seem like it will make more sense to just make the make more sense to just make the make more sense to just make the definitive Ed Edition a setup for definitive Ed Edition a setup for definitive Ed Edition a setup for Xenoblade X2 cuz there is actually ler Xenoblade X2 cuz there is actually ler Xenoblade X2 cuz there is actually ler my next question it has to it's too much my next question it has to it's too much my next question it has to it's too much my next question was are we getting an my next question was are we getting an my next question was are we getting an X2 and if so like how is it going to set X2 and if so like how is it going to set X2 and if so like how is it going to set up what do you guys think well I'll tell up what do you guys think well I'll tell up what do you guys think well I'll tell you how it's going to set up we're going you how it's going to set up we're going you how it's going to set up we're going to we're going to work with miror to we're going to work with miror to we're going to work with miror b or Professor B excuse me I'm Pokemon b or Professor B excuse me I'm Pokemon b or Professor B excuse me I'm Pokemon now Professor B now Professor B now Professor B Back to the Future guy exactly I love Back to the Future guy exactly I love Back to the Future guy exactly I love that that that side love that side quest that one of side love that side quest that one of side love that side quest that one of the best ones that was so good yeah oh

the best ones that was so good yeah oh the best ones that was so good yeah oh my God that side quest felt like a game my God that side quest felt like a game my God that side quest felt like a game of its own like it really of its own like it really of its own like it really did I know I love Professor I love the did I know I love Professor I love the did I know I love Professor I love the side quests I would still argue that um side quests I would still argue that um side quests I would still argue that um up until Xeno Blade 3 xen blade X had up until Xeno Blade 3 xen blade X had up until Xeno Blade 3 xen blade X had the best side quests in the game and the best side quests in the game and the best side quests in the game and even even now there's still very even even now there's still very even even now there's still very memorable ones that just stick out like memorable ones that just stick out like memorable ones that just stick out like like professor be like the alien one um like professor be like the alien one um like professor be like the alien one um my favorite one that I was telling Nish my favorite one that I was telling Nish my favorite one that I was telling Nish quck about is like okay you see that quck about is like okay you see that quck about is like okay you see that pizza guy oh God the pizza Quest start pizza guy oh God the pizza Quest start pizza guy oh God the pizza Quest start that Quest start that Quest and see how that Quest start that Quest and see how that Quest start that Quest and see how it ends and you're not going to believe it ends and you're not going to believe it ends and you're not going to believe How It Ends it was insane I I don't want How It Ends it was insane I I don't want How It Ends it was insane I I don't want to spoil it in this podcast but oh boy to spoil it in this podcast but oh boy to spoil it in this podcast but oh boy that was that was insane that whole that that was that was insane that whole that that was that was insane that whole that Quest was insane did y'all do the water Quest was insane did y'all do the water Quest was insane did y'all do the water purification yes that was also insane I purification yes that was also insane I purification yes that was also insane I was like was like was like there's a bunch of there's like two there's a bunch of there's like two there's a bunch of there's like two different side quests that involve like different side quests that involve like different side quests that involve like marriage like one of them ended really marriage like one of them ended really marriage like one of them ended really weirdly I remember that um honestly like weirdly I remember that um honestly like weirdly I remember that um honestly like and you know what um I would still argue and you know what um I would still argue and you know what um I would still argue Z blade X has some of the best quests in Z blade X has some of the best quests in Z blade X has some of the best quests in the game specifically because a large the game specifically because a large the game specifically because a large chunk of them are actually factored by chunk of them are actually factored by chunk of them are actually factored by your choice yeah yes yes straight up your choice yeah yes yes straight up your choice yeah yes yes straight up NPCs can die like not just one or two NPCs can die like not just one or two NPCs can die like not just one or two but like like but like like but like like a good handful will just straight up a good handful will just straight up a good handful will just straight up like die or things will change in the like die or things will change in the like die or things will change in the open world if depending on your choice open world if depending on your choice open world if depending on your choice like oh my gosh are we going to have like oh my gosh are we going to have like oh my gosh are we going to have bacon are we going to have some some

bacon are we going to have some some bacon are we going to have some some some little bacon for us uh or are we some little bacon for us uh or are we some little bacon for us uh or are we going to let these little piglets live going to let these little piglets live going to let these little piglets live yeah and what's going to happen in ways yeah and what's going to happen in ways yeah and what's going to happen in ways we don't expect two chapters down the we don't expect two chapters down the we don't expect two chapters down the line yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah line yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah line yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah um yeah bring it back to the topic of um yeah bring it back to the topic of um yeah bring it back to the topic of the sequel what do you like if if this the sequel what do you like if if this the sequel what do you like if if this all like sets up for a sequel which I all like sets up for a sequel which I all like sets up for a sequel which I think it could with the possibility that think it could with the possibility that think it could with the possibility that we're having we're having we're having um other colonies like there's New Paris um other colonies like there's New Paris um other colonies like there's New Paris New Tokyo New Tokyo was in the art book New Tokyo New Tokyo was in the art book New Tokyo New Tokyo was in the art book I think New Paris was in a side I think New Paris was in a side I think New Paris was in a side quest like when do you think we could quest like when do you think we could quest like when do you think we could see a sequel and what do you think the see a sequel and what do you think the see a sequel and what do you think the sequel could be are we still going to be sequel could be are we still going to be sequel could be are we still going to be following Elma and Lynn and these people following Elma and Lynn and these people following Elma and Lynn and these people in this story or are we going to have a in this story or are we going to have a in this story or are we going to have a new cast of characters I think it would new cast of characters I think it would new cast of characters I think it would be nice to see meor from a whole another be nice to see meor from a whole another be nice to see meor from a whole another perspective and I think luxen had this perspective and I think luxen had this perspective and I think luxen had this really cool idea where like you start in really cool idea where like you start in really cool idea where like you start in New Paris New Tokyo with your primary New Paris New Tokyo with your primary New Paris New Tokyo with your primary party and eventually Midway into the party and eventually Midway into the party and eventually Midway into the game you reunite with new LA and then game you reunite with new LA and then game you reunite with new LA and then you kind of collaborate with them to you kind of collaborate with them to you kind of collaborate with them to like there's maybe a new force of aliens like there's maybe a new force of aliens like there's maybe a new force of aliens maybe there's remaining G Lan or you're maybe there's remaining G Lan or you're maybe there's remaining G Lan or you're fighting against the Black Knight and fighting against the Black Knight and fighting against the Black Knight and his army of whatever like maybe the his army of whatever like maybe the his army of whatever like maybe the ghosts come back maybe the I would hope ghosts come back maybe the I would hope ghosts come back maybe the I would hope the Clarion have a bigger role in the

the Clarion have a bigger role in the the Clarion have a bigger role in the story because all we saw was Celica and story because all we saw was Celica and story because all we saw was Celica and rock and there's so many cool like um rock and there's so many cool like um rock and there's so many cool like um hints to the claran uh race and the art hints to the claran uh race and the art hints to the claran uh race and the art book as well so those are just some book as well so those are just some book as well so those are just some ideas I have but yeah like when do you ideas I have but yeah like when do you ideas I have but yeah like when do you think we like just seeing just imagining think we like just seeing just imagining think we like just seeing just imagining a Xenoblade X2 2 on the switch 2 is just a Xenoblade X2 2 on the switch 2 is just a Xenoblade X2 2 on the switch 2 is just like it's mindblowing like a bigger like it's mindblowing like a bigger like it's mindblowing like a bigger World new World new World new continence um on the switch to better continence um on the switch to better continence um on the switch to better visuals oh it's just it's amazing yeah I visuals oh it's just it's amazing yeah I visuals oh it's just it's amazing yeah I think think think um I think Xenoblade X is kind of a um I think Xenoblade X is kind of a um I think Xenoblade X is kind of a different Beast um from the numbered different Beast um from the numbered different Beast um from the numbered games in the sense that the focus of games in the sense that the focus of games in the sense that the focus of these games is more so on the World At these games is more so on the World At these games is more so on the World At Large and less on oh we're following Large and less on oh we're following Large and less on oh we're following these characters and and their their these characters and and their their these characters and and their their growth and there you of course you have growth and there you of course you have growth and there you of course you have the Affinity Quest and stuff like that the Affinity Quest and stuff like that the Affinity Quest and stuff like that but it's not as character driven as like but it's not as character driven as like but it's not as character driven as like a Xenoblade 2 is for example um so so a Xenoblade 2 is for example um so so a Xenoblade 2 is for example um so so because of that reason I think it would because of that reason I think it would because of that reason I think it would actually actually actually be easier for them to just be easier for them to just be easier for them to just uh have the character still there yeah uh have the character still there yeah uh have the character still there yeah because the focus or let me say this it because the focus or let me say this it because the focus or let me say this it would be easier for them to keep the would be easier for them to keep the would be easier for them to keep the same mirror because that's the charact same mirror because that's the charact same mirror because that's the charact that that is like the focus of Xeno X is that that is like the focus of Xeno X is that that is like the focus of Xeno X is the world versus like I feel like the

the world versus like I feel like the the world versus like I feel like the other games are more so the world is other games are more so the world is other games are more so the world is important but not as important as like important but not as important as like important but not as important as like the people and their role in it do you I the people and their role in it do you I the people and their role in it do you I do think yeah I think they'll swap out do think yeah I think they'll swap out do think yeah I think they'll swap out the cast but Elma will still be around the cast but Elma will still be around the cast but Elma will still be around Lynn will still be around like and uh Lynn will still be around like and uh Lynn will still be around like and uh you'll just have a new group of people you'll just have a new group of people you'll just have a new group of people that are um you know a new segment of that are um you know a new segment of that are um you know a new segment of the blade organization that's kind of the blade organization that's kind of the blade organization that's kind of navigating mirror and stuff like that do navigating mirror and stuff like that do navigating mirror and stuff like that do you think it'll be similar to tears of you think it'll be similar to tears of you think it'll be similar to tears of the Kingdom where they recycle like a the Kingdom where they recycle like a the Kingdom where they recycle like a chunk of the map like tear of the chunk of the map like tear of the chunk of the map like tear of the Kingdom recycled Hyrule do you think Kingdom recycled Hyrule do you think Kingdom recycled Hyrule do you think they'll do that with the five continents they'll do that with the five continents they'll do that with the five continents but maybe add some more continents as but maybe add some more continents as but maybe add some more continents as well to be honest I hope they do that well to be honest I hope they do that well to be honest I hope they do that yeah I hope they do cuz I think and some yeah I hope they do cuz I think and some yeah I hope they do cuz I think and some people didn't like this about tears of people didn't like this about tears of people didn't like this about tears of the Kingdom but the Kingdom but the Kingdom but recontextualizing the world and seeing recontextualizing the world and seeing recontextualizing the world and seeing it from a different perspective it was it from a different perspective it was it from a different perspective it was really cool to be like oh wow this place really cool to be like oh wow this place really cool to be like oh wow this place is destroyed now or oh did they've built is destroyed now or oh did they've built is destroyed now or oh did they've built up this this segment of the world or you up this this segment of the world or you up this this segment of the world or you know this race has moved over here now know this race has moved over here now know this race has moved over here now you know it was really interesting to you know it was really interesting to you know it was really interesting to see the world change like that inters of see the world change like that inters of see the world change like that inters of the Kingdom so I think I think they'll the Kingdom so I think I think they'll the Kingdom so I think I think they'll do it I think that's what they'll do do it I think that's what they'll do do it I think that's what they'll do development time too yes 1% yeah yeah development time too yes 1% yeah yeah development time too yes 1% yeah yeah yeah and I think with what we were yeah and I think with what we were yeah and I think with what we were talking about with mea having a mind of talking about with mea having a mind of talking about with mea having a mind of its own there can be a lot of room to its own there can be a lot of room to its own there can be a lot of room to change things up in this already

change things up in this already change things up in this already recycled world if they use it for recycled world if they use it for recycled world if they use it for X2 yes yeah yeah what are your thoughts X2 yes yeah yeah what are your thoughts X2 yes yeah yeah what are your thoughts there's also well there's a lot of there's also well there's a lot of there's also well there's a lot of questions with how they can go with X2 questions with how they can go with X2 questions with how they can go with X2 so again with the remnants of everything so again with the remnants of everything so again with the remnants of everything left throughout cauldros the mysteries left throughout cauldros the mysteries left throughout cauldros the mysteries of SYM the me the the mechanical waste of SYM the me the the mechanical waste of SYM the me the the mechanical waste parts of oblivia like there's so many parts of oblivia like there's so many parts of oblivia like there's so many ways that this world could be like ways that this world could be like ways that this world could be like shaped up as it uncovers for all we know shaped up as it uncovers for all we know shaped up as it uncovers for all we know let's find out if Mira sentient and what let's find out if Mira sentient and what let's find out if Mira sentient and what happens if we unlock the core of mea happens if we unlock the core of mea happens if we unlock the core of mea like will the world respond and change like will the world respond and change like will the world respond and change accordingly you know that could be a accordingly you know that could be a accordingly you know that could be a whole segment that the whole world just whole segment that the whole world just whole segment that the whole world just evolves there's also ways that Humanity evolves there's also ways that Humanity evolves there's also ways that Humanity can change because yeah we have access can change because yeah we have access can change because yeah we have access to the lifeold again uh sure enough it to the lifeold again uh sure enough it to the lifeold again uh sure enough it got damaged but I mean why is the DNA got damaged but I mean why is the DNA got damaged but I mean why is the DNA segment of it still working um could we segment of it still working um could we segment of it still working um could we somehow get the memories of people's um somehow get the memories of people's um somehow get the memories of people's um Mims installed and we actually have like Mims installed and we actually have like Mims installed and we actually have like flesh and blood walking in La again if flesh and blood walking in La again if flesh and blood walking in La again if that's the case our people going to want that's the case our people going to want that's the case our people going to want to change out of Mims because mims in a to change out of Mims because mims in a to change out of Mims because mims in a sense give them a sense of safety and sense give them a sense of safety and sense give them a sense of safety and immortality yeah because um so there's immortality yeah because um so there's immortality yeah because um so there's there's so many different questions the there's so many different questions the there's so many different questions the way things can go um a lot of um a lot way things can go um a lot of um a lot way things can go um a lot of um a lot of the races working hand in hand but of the races working hand in hand but of the races working hand in hand but you know some people are still tentative you know some people are still tentative you know some people are still tentative racial tensions between humanity and uh racial tensions between humanity and uh racial tensions between humanity and uh xenomorph life forms is still it's a

xenomorph life forms is still it's a xenomorph life forms is still it's a very Hot Topic in that game so like at very Hot Topic in that game so like at very Hot Topic in that game so like at least half the quests are probably based least half the quests are probably based least half the quests are probably based off of it if I have to be honest yeah um off of it if I have to be honest yeah um off of it if I have to be honest yeah um could the could the ghosts the rest of could the could the ghosts the rest of could the could the ghosts the rest of the ghosts have CAU up and they land on the ghosts have CAU up and they land on the ghosts have CAU up and they land on mirror there's a ghost expansion to say mirror there's a ghost expansion to say mirror there's a ghost expansion to say the least from my MMO experience from my the least from my MMO experience from my the least from my MMO experience from my MMO side of things will will be like a MMO side of things will will be like a MMO side of things will will be like a Arc centered around the ghosts because Arc centered around the ghosts because Arc centered around the ghosts because now we have a bit of info about the now we have a bit of info about the now we have a bit of info about the Samar could it bring Samar Federation Samar could it bring Samar Federation Samar could it bring Samar Federation further into the fold as the ghosts also further into the fold as the ghosts also further into the fold as the ghosts also show up that's another thing I was show up that's another thing I was show up that's another thing I was thinking of uh when we were talking thinking of uh when we were talking thinking of uh when we were talking about who could the Black Knight be um about who could the Black Knight be um about who could the Black Knight be um on his model on his model on his model you on his data mine model because on you on his data mine model because on you on his data mine model because on the Wii U version you only ever see him the Wii U version you only ever see him the Wii U version you only ever see him from the um from the sky so you never from the um from the sky so you never from the um from the sky so you never see it but on his the central part of see it but on his the central part of see it but on his the central part of his chest is a purple core yeah and you his chest is a purple core yeah and you his chest is a purple core yeah and you know what I should have brought this up know what I should have brought this up know what I should have brought this up because when I was thinking about it's because when I was thinking about it's because when I was thinking about it's like oh malos you know it makes sense like oh malos you know it makes sense like oh malos you know it makes sense he's a purple guy but the ghosts are he's a purple guy but the ghosts are he's a purple guy but the ghosts are also pretty purple that's what made me also pretty purple that's what made me also pretty purple that's what made me think about Mobius honestly yeah and think about Mobius honestly yeah and think about Mobius honestly yeah and Mobius and who's to say that who's to Mobius and who's to say that who's to Mobius and who's to say that who's to say that as this guy is just stuck in say that as this guy is just stuck in say that as this guy is just stuck in space with the ghost that he space with the ghost that he space with the ghost that he uh took out who's to say that the ghost uh took out who's to say that the ghost uh took out who's to say that the ghost because ghosts are classified as organic because ghosts are classified as organic because ghosts are classified as organic completely organic organisms yeah who's completely organic organisms yeah who's completely organic organisms yeah who's to say that didn't fuse with him in some to say that didn't fuse with him in some to say that didn't fuse with him in some way shape or form and we have like a way shape or form and we have like a way shape or form and we have like a little remnant of it like Str strewn to little remnant of it like Str strewn to little remnant of it like Str strewn to his chest yeah there's so many ways that

his chest yeah there's so many ways that his chest yeah there's so many ways that can go yeah um yeah and some of that can go yeah um yeah and some of that can go yeah um yeah and some of that might be answered in the additional might be answered in the additional might be answered in the additional story we're going to get but obviously story we're going to get but obviously story we're going to get but obviously with like any Xeno any Z no game from with like any Xeno any Z no game from with like any Xeno any Z no game from what I played like there's always going what I played like there's always going what I played like there's always going to be questions at the end always will to be questions at the end always will to be questions at the end always will be yeah always yeah so to wrap things up be yeah always yeah so to wrap things up be yeah always yeah so to wrap things up um yeah I'm I'm very excited for this um yeah I'm I'm very excited for this um yeah I'm I'm very excited for this game I'm very excited to jump back into game I'm very excited to jump back into game I'm very excited to jump back into mirror even though like I recently Beat mirror even though like I recently Beat mirror even though like I recently Beat it I'm I'm I'm probably going to stay it I'm I'm I'm probably going to stay it I'm I'm I'm probably going to stay away from my Wii U copy probably not away from my Wii U copy probably not away from my Wii U copy probably not continue my live stream session because continue my live stream session because continue my live stream session because I just want to kind of have like a break I just want to kind of have like a break I just want to kind of have like a break with the game and then jump back into it with the game and then jump back into it with the game and then jump back into it and have like a fresh experience from and have like a fresh experience from and have like a fresh experience from the very start but I'm very excited for the very start but I'm very excited for the very start but I'm very excited for this and it's coming out very soon so to this and it's coming out very soon so to this and it's coming out very soon so to anyone who is still watching at the end anyone who is still watching at the end anyone who is still watching at the end I'll I'll have the spoiler section like I'll I'll have the spoiler section like I'll I'll have the spoiler section like uh portioned out so you you can skip uh portioned out so you you can skip uh portioned out so you you can skip forward but if you guys haven't played forward but if you guys haven't played forward but if you guys haven't played this game do yourself a favor pre-order this game do yourself a favor pre-order this game do yourself a favor pre-order it get excited for it I wish we got a it get excited for it I wish we got a it get excited for it I wish we got a special edition or a collector's edition special edition or a collector's edition special edition or a collector's edition but doesn't seem to be happening right but doesn't seem to be happening right but doesn't seem to be happening right now but do you guys have any final now but do you guys have any final now but do you guys have any final thoughts before we close thoughts before we close thoughts before we close out I really hope that uh this game gets out I really hope that uh this game gets out I really hope that uh this game gets the biggest Boost from the switch effect the biggest Boost from the switch effect the biggest Boost from the switch effect oh yeah uh I I I cuz in I I feel like oh yeah uh I I I cuz in I I feel like oh yeah uh I I I cuz in I I feel like they saved saved the best for last yeah
