Nicol’s hair is also a slightly darker shade of blonde, just like Fiora. I am gonna be SHOCKED if Nicol isn’t Shulk and Fioras kid.

When you mentioned how Matthew might awaken his Ouroboros powers on Prison Island, I was hit with an intense wave of realization. One of the lines Matthew says in the first trailer to be revealed of the DLC, he says: “Like killing Grandad wasn’t enough for you?”. This would fall in line to the events that transpired in XC1; Sorean dying and Shulk unlocking the Monado II, and a potential death that might happen which will awaken Matthew’s power.

I wasn’t sure on that one girl being Sharla & Reyn’s child until you pointed out a lot more from the background shots with her in! Awesome video, cannot wait to play this!!!

Not every video needs to be a Luxin vid, I quite like how snappy and to the point your points and details were and the editing was nice to look at. So yeah nice vid and actually learned some stuff

My favourite part was my man Rex deflecting that blast with his ✨️ICONIC✨️ line "I'll show them a thing or three"

Not sure if you noticed, but the pattern on Panacea's sword is VERY reminiscent of Reyn's scrap driver.

Panacea's weapon also seems to be a big sword. Which, if Reyn was her dad, could be her sharing her father's taste in weapons.

I saw someone mention this on twitter, but in the colony 9 scene, shulk and rex don't have their injuries and shulk has short hair. But they're with nikol and glimmer even though we saw them meet when shulk and rex had their injuries already.

I really hope Reyn is still alive. I wanna see the og crew again. But if all we get is reyn/sharlas daughter I can live with that

I really wanna see flashbacks from Shulk's and Rex's peaceful lives before all the merging of the worlds happened

Interesting note about Panacea. Her weapon shares design elements with Reyn's scrap driver. The orange markings on it are identical

I wanna know what the deal with Z is. The fact that he’s on the side of Shulk and Rex confuses me as much as it intrigues me. I’m so excited to play the game and find out

Kay : "I'm not Luxin." Luxin : "And I took that personally."

After watching a few analyses of this trailer, it was nice to watch a video that just pointed out some cool details from what we were given! Can’t wait to finally play this and have all our questions answered on Tuesday!

Really curious about A, as well as if we'll see Mythra's kid. This DLC is going to be so good!

Love the Luxin shoutout at the beginning lol 😆 You're still top tier ❤

"A is the most mysterious character we've been presented" meanwhile, Riku just casually standing there, on prequel set 1000 years before 0.0

2 days left! So excited!

Awesome video Kay, I just want all the connections to the past games, Rex, Shulk, and Alvis make me so happy.

What an amazing analyze!! I subscribed and liked and you explained everything that is extremely important in the trailer! And yesss there were so many things you pointed out I didn't know!!! And my favorite part was seeing the environments from last games and of course SHULK AND REX TOGETHER FIGHTING ALVIS!!!!

AYOOOOO, NICE VID KAY

Looks and sounds like this DLC is what you were hoping for based off your earlier “How Xenoblade 3’s DLC Could Change The Game For Me” video

Great vid! Earned a sub. Can’t wait!

The intrigue is there to get people talking in the short term. Only a few days remain until we get the whole picture of Future Redeemed.

Your trailer reaction at the beginning summarises exactly how we all reacted 😂

I cant wait for the consul Juju fight

Awesomely fun video:D

I think one thing that also could lend credence to the panacea being reyn and sharla’s kid is in the weapon. Although I do think it’s a little bit of a stretch since when you see the spear pointed at glimmer it looks to Have similar colouring as reyn’s scrap driver did. Again a bit of a reach but it’s something I keep thinking about when I see it

Seeing how the developers said we will most likely figure out where the serie is heading after the final dlc I suspect xeno will have multiple worlds outside of these two, and I wouldnt be shocked of mythra etc is on one of those or her child to connect the serie somewhat.

Wow! Very impress! I love that you can find and describe all relationships from the characters costume and appearance. I think you are the real fans of the series same as me evenif I only play for xb3 but it took me more than 100+ hours. Thanks for this content, will catchup more bro 😁

I don't think Cassini is Mythra's child as she is not mentioned to be from agnus the way you would expect Mythra's child to be and unlike the other found pairs(Matthew and Na'el being siblings and Nikol and Glimmer being born in the cycle) it wouldn't really parallel with Panacea being Reid my theory is that Panacea is a descendant of Sharla's and Reyn's kid who was a previous Ouroboros(like Matthew being N's and M's descendant) and to parallel this Cassini would be a Descendant of Zeke's and Pandoria's kid(the only remaining couple from 1's and 2's party who hasn't had someone related to them in 3 besides Mythra) as for Mythra's kid my guess is that they won't be a founder but will make an appearance in the DLC in some form

i genuinely can't wait to see how this story ties everything together. tuesday can't some sooner i stg

I'm really excited to see the deal with the ontos na'el form. In her statue it says she was the first to fully realize the power of ouroboros, and with the way it seems she disappears thru a rift during the city's destruction, I think this could hint at her being the first to interlink, doing so with the evil alvis in a human form. As far as why he's called ? in the key art, I'm thinking it has to do with the heartless machine line and Z calling him, my god. I think the personality has been forced out of alvis and manifested as A, so now all that's left is the original computer, Ontos, who suddenly has the same type of wings as zanza, another villain who was known for being a peaceful God wanting nothing but companionship by giving sentience to the life on bionis to live in peace with him and those on mechonis. What happened to him? He suddenly changed on a whim, enacted a genocide on mechonis, and stole the sentience back from the high entia which he "granted on a whim" to kill everyone for "food". This always felt kinda bullshit to me though cuz people are always dying naturally regardless and their ether is going back into the bionis to repeat the life cycle no matter what. Now in 3 we have moebius, seemingly a manifestation of the collective unconscious, and their leader calling ontos with crazy zanza wings his God. Alvis wouldn't be a God tho since it goes against shulks directive in making a world with no gods. What I think is going on here is we are finally getting xenoblades take on some kind of God like wave existence, who possess those who come in contact with the Conduit. After all it is likely that the conduit is a gateway to this domain of infinite energy. If this is the case, the true villain of the whole xenoblade series who caused Zanza to turn against his creations is this God. A wave existence which possess those that dare come in contact with it in an attempt to use its infinite power, showcased on the host in the form of these trademark gold line pattern wings.

I finished Mega Man X4 for the first time yesterday and thought “This is the Kayjulers outro music”!😂

Omg this had SO many things in it that I never realized and now I'm even more excited. I hate that AP exams are a thing because I have to probably wait after them to play it...

Matthew as a founder, Na'El as a founder and Glimmer as a founder, also having Rex's third child be a founder sounds a bit overkill. A man's family tree can only be SO Legendary lol. That being said i do want to see Mythra's child of course in some capacity, as well as Mythra and Pyra in general lol.

Hey, maybe you can't make a movie analysis video but the montage was top notch, as well as the analysis that pointed out some very interesting things to me.

If this is just a straight prequel I wonder how it will recontextualize the events of the main game similar to how playing Torna puts XC2 in a whole new light? Though I expect it to be a little bit more than just a Xenoblade 3 prequel with the subtitle Future Redeemed.

We might see N and M interlink, and if we do, i hope they get their combined ass handed to them, just so it explains why they didn't use it in the base game.

I think Ontos got split into Alvis and A when it went off to a different dimension like explained in xc2. A came from that dimension so prob could be why she has a Monado. In the first teaser, it show Shulk and Rex against Alvis but Shulk had short hair and his arm and Rex still had his eye. So I think in that Alvis battle, Shulk and Rex’s arm/eye became gone.

Cannot wait for the game

I keep wondering why they're so secretive about Cassini and Reid. You'd think they would've shown us the Founders' statues and given a description of their mentors to make us theorise about Rex and Shulk being in the game, instead they confirmed Rex and Shulk before and had us theorise about the Founders. If Reid really is Panacea, the fact they causally showed her in a single frame like some unimportant npc is very odd, and Cassini never being shown is even more suspicious. The trailer makes a big deal out of Na'el's story witht that core crystal, yet these two are the most elusive. The anticipation is killing me!

man im so used to gamexplains awful "list of details" videos that im happy to see this video actually go through cool details like the title said

I love this because I wanna watch videos with people talking about cool stuff in the trailer but I also don't want a full on analysis that might spoil things I didn't even think about😂😭

Thank you for pointing out the obvious Sharla reference. Almost nobody saw it in trailer reactions I’ve seen.

This game will make me cry guaranteed

The fact that we see the Trinity Processor cores in full saturated color and aren’t black and white like the previous times we saw them, means one of two things: either that moment will be symbolic, Alvis finally reuniting with his siblings after millions of years being separated, OR it means we’re getting more flashbacks with Klaus and Galea, a memory of the creation of the Trinity. Either way, I think we MIGHT possibly get one last look at Klaus and Galea to wrap the saga. And I’m not gonna be able to handle it if either of my ideas happen. God I still can’t believe the saga is ending in only a few days. It feels like only yesterday I got into this franchise due to chuggaaconroy.

I have an essay due on the morning of the 26th AND I AM NOT COPING

Panacea being Reyn and Sharla’s daughter was a possibility that hadn’t occurred to me, but that does make the most sense. Linka being Rex and Mythra’s daughter though…not so much. You don’t get a good look at her in the trailer, but in the game itself, it seems obvious that she’s supposed to be descended from Zeke and Pandoria.

Never thought about Panacea being Sharla's and Rein's kid! If this turns out true, it'll be so cool!

Anyone else hear that her name was Na'el and immediately assume it was somehow inspired by Emperor Niall??

Just two more days ladies and gentlemen!

Problem with your theory that Cassini is Mythra's child: Mythra's child is the same age as Glimmer and Mio, so she would be a part of the cycle It's never mentioned by anyone that Cassini was freed from the flame clock It's never said anywhere that she lived for a really long time like Rex and Shulk are doing, you would assume the same would happen to her if she wasn't part of the cycle

I didnt remember the line about the founder mentor taking care of the founder like they were their own child. Def fits for shulks bond with reyn

Luxin goes crazy bruh

Imagine if Glimmer is actually Mythra's daughter and not Pyra's. I mean the fire of Pyra is a weaker version of her light, so it could be the same here with Glimmer using only a fraction of her power (and then she could remanipulate light and regain her blond hair when she unlock it). Obviously it isn't base on anything, but after being so much tricked by the devs (in particular the safronia tree and flashback before Uraya.. without safronia) they could do anything to play us again.

I hope at least some of the OG cast from 1 and 2 appears.

What I want to know is why the Ontos core shown in the Trinity Processor and Consul Na'el look so different from the one shown with Alvis and A.

I just want to point out that even if your theory about House Cassini ends up being wrong, we still have Matthew and Na'el (who are implied to be descended from Noah and Mio, and thus, from Rex) plus Glimmer (who shares too many traits with Pyra to be completely unrelated). Now when we first enter the City, Monica says that the City-born inhabitants are "Ouroboros by blood", and there are several instances of characters saying that most of them, House or not, probably share some common ancestry in the Founders - the Houses are just the ones that claim direct descent. So when you think about it, then not only half of the Houses, but a sizable chunk of the City's population might be technically related to Rex (albeit very distantly) via ancestry. Menace indeed lol.

Edit: Spoilers in the Read More!! Be careful!! im actually wondering if the Cassani figure could be related to Pandoria. The mystery character on Prison Island has high boots and booty shorts much like Pandy did, it looks like they have green hair, (though that could be the lighting) and notably, the character isn't wearing a thigh-strap, a design feature so prominent to Mythra that both Nia and Glimmer have one on the exact same leg. It would feel odd to me that Mythra's wife and niece had that strap, but not her own child. Called it 😎

Riku is still the biggest mystery to me. That common variety Nopon.

Rex and Glimmer crossing blades with N, father in law and sister in law vs son in law/brother in law

agree with most of it, just bought the dlc today as well, so ready to play the story on Tuesday ;) after ff16 and baldurs gate 3 im more hyped to play this than the new zelda or diablo 4 this year!

Lol, we thought Riku wasn't the Seventh Founder back then. Ha!

Okay Nikol did have a jacket on in his statue. Thought so.

I find it odd so many people think the Founders for House Reid and House Cassini are the children of past characters, those should be soldiers of Keves and Agnus like Mio, Glimmer and Nikol (citing only confirmed cases, though you could arguably extend that to Noah, Lanz, Eunie and Joran as well) and subject to the 10 year time limit. Due to the lack of a mention of them having surpassed that time limit unlike the Rhodes & Ortiz statues, I'm inclined to think those two Founders were born on Aionios, and the *children* of soldiers. In other words, Panacea probably isn't Reyn & Sharla's daughter. She's their *granddaughter*. I suspect the line of descent would be Sharla to Ashera to Panacea. This also gives a good reason for Shulk to be raising Panacea, Ashera being a soldier means she would have died (and perhaps not in a good way) while Panacea would have been very young; someone would have to take care of her, and Shulk would still take up the task of raising Panacea for similar reasons. It should be noted that these circumstances would be VERY common with first-generation children of soldiers (and even demonstrated with Noah's & Mio's son), and I suspect the group of children Na'el is seen playing with in that one video likely fall into that category. The same logic could be applied to the Founder of House Cassini, it's unlikely for them to be Mythra's child UNLESS they are also a soldier... which feels unlikely. However, Rex & Mythra's grandchild is completely fair game. Or some extremely bizarre circumstances where the blonde is due them being the child of Glimmer and Nikol from a previous incarnation. In any case, don't forget that extra generation. With the exception of Melia, Shulk, Nia and Rex (and any Aegises), anyone from Bionis or Alrest is would start out as a soldier with a 10-year time limit.

Hope we see pneuma and malos with alvis maybe at the end or something

@KayJulers i dout anyone has noticesed this but the clouse cutssseen in the trailer birth of a univirse is actuly the origanal one from the 3ds xenoblade chronicles 3d lol not the definitive editon remaster version lol

Tbh I’m still kinda confused as to how Shulk and Rex are even alive at this point in the story. Aionios has been around for a very long long time as shown by the existence of N and the fact that there are old people in the city, and it’s not like Shulk and Rex have super long lifespans like Melia and Nia, so how are they alive and still look like they are in their mid-forties?

5:34 😂

I love that Luxin is becoming a meme

I think Riku will be the final villain, as he's such a lair! But seriously, WHO ARE YOU Riku? xD

I believe in Riku supremacy

Xc3 story was genius

New official intel just in today: Panacea name confirmed, and her JP voice over is done by no other than Watanabe Akeno who did Carula/Sharla.

I hope they don’t punk out on Rex having 3 daughters who are all separate badasses out of fear of twitter weirdos who never even played the game.

Could be pandoria and ze. Kes. Kid

A seggs

The little mention of Luxin make me laught. Wait for Xenoblade Y or Xenoblade 4 he will drop days long analisys.

We need to talk about the Nopon. Shulk was geek - nopon buddy is adventurer. Rex was adventurer - nopon buddy is geek. But I want to point out is that Nichol, as much as he reflects characteristics of Fiora, his mechanical arms up near his head are a nod to the nopon warriors. So are nopon the reflection of man’s subconscious and unspoken dreams of sex, money, virtue, power, innocence and adventure? It’s notable that there is a certain mystical lore designed for these furry faerie folk in every single game so far. I think Nichol may be a clue why he seems to embody them in this dlc.

What's imprisoned on prison island this time around?

The ending would make this confusing no spoilers but yah if you know you know

Luxin huh? For me it's Miiks.

It's criminal that this dlc doesn't have a physical release. It's important enough that it needs one Edit: also nobody is talking about shulk losing his arm just being casually revealed in the trailer

I know there is not much to talk about with that but WHY IS RIKU THERE

This will be a wild and random guess but the 7 founder is.......................Pneuma

I don't think A is the seventh Founder. I'm pretty sure that's still Nia. We still have two Founders unaccounted for, and Nia makes the most sense because she made the Ouroboros stones. A doesn't have to be the seventh Founder in order to be a founder. I don't see why people jumped ship on the Nia theory.

I was plenty disappointed when i realised it will be a prequel, so i really hope they will find a way to blend in an ending to that somehow. Like maybe the game ending with Shulk and Rex dying, only to awaken in their real worlds and take deep breaths or something... I am in the gang of people not fully satisfied with XC3's ending lol. But either way, for what it will be, i am sure the prequel will still be worth checking out! For that thing... or three

bodacious

I'm starting to think A has to be Mythra's daughter. She must have had a different name at first, and inherited Mythra's aegis core crystal, but I think she changed when Alvis, or at least his physical body, was destroyed by Z, Rex and Shulk. What changed Mythra's daughter's name? I'm thinking she was killed after Z betrayed Rex and Shulk and Z brought her back as a Moebius. But, Alvis's essence found A and infused itself in A's core crystal, turning it red and giving A some of Alvis's abilities. Not only abilities, but A also inherited Alvis's tendency to fight against Z, which is why she said "such duplicity is usually beneath me" when she stabs the one Moebius. After that, I think we may have seen Nael with the red core crystal because of some sacrifice A made, and given that Nael was a descendant of A's sister she could inherit her core crystal following A's sacrifice.

juju

The last founder has been revealed. Spoilers Ahead Just how old is Riku, and just how old can nopon's be for him to be riki's kid.

Who the hell is Riku actually? A 1000 yrs old common variety nopon? Sus..

In the part with all the jumbled voices I think I heard "is Alvis non-binary" which made me laugh

gotta be honest im no prude but having rex be in a 4 way relationship ruins the story for me entirely

where is pyra and mithra?

Still on that copium that Eunie is Melia and Shulk’s kid
