Yeah, it's just incredible 💜

Oof

Reminds me of Melia's spear break, the only art in xc1 that has the word 'break' in its name and yet doesn't inflict break.

@@VGF80 if you use starlight kick afterwards it forces topple so in a way it does inflict break

Reminds me of how Alpha wasn’t coded to be a machine enemy in DLC4 (I had one of those chain attack accessories that adds +50 when chosen against a machine-type enemy, but it didn’t activate against Alpha)

Damn, now that you mention it, that would have been a fun little detail

To be fair, if I were talking to my evil self, I would probably be extremely disappointed as well, to the point of swearing

After all the BULLSHIT he puts the party through in the previous half hour, Noah’s gut check to N is perfect.

@Nhat Anh Hoang he stopped fighting mobious, so yeah, he's full of shit. He stopped trying and only cared that mio lived, so in a sense, noah's words are an extension of n's conscious.

And you can also view it as Noah voicing his own frustrations with himself, since N embodies Noah's negative traits amplified.

N is the best character in the game. His story is believable. Anyone in his situation would go down that path. Noah on the other hand is clearly a character that can only exist in a story and is less believable.

Especially with the added context of future redeemed.

With FR i feel even more sad for N. He didn't wanted to kill his descendants and was used as a toy by Z so he could get rid of Alpha and take over Origin.

Noah spectates Noah spectating Noah having a mental breakdown

That’s so funny to think about lmao

He went through the other 4 stages of grief all at once lmfao

Noah watching Noah watching Noah break down.

Noahception if you will

Then why the hell is it failing? Man's already broken, LET ME BREAK HIM SOME MORE!

He picked long. But I prefer short, the long hair is just attached to the end of the short. Their physics act differently and you can't unsee it once you notice.

@@samreddig8819 Looks pretty good to me. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qpyEqLOg1J2Rn5c.html

Fun fact, the part of the song that plays when he takes the Flute back is Off-Seer Miyabi, which makes sense as it's her flute (the song was also written for the cutscene in Side Story Mio, it lines up perfectly with the events there) The second half of Off-Seer Miyabi (Alternate Version) is Feelings Risen

@@YasEmisDaBus Yes, I noticed that, and I really liked the callback, like the flute still contains Miyabi's "essence", so to speak. It is symbolic of her legacy, as it continues to affect Mio and Noah even then, long after her (presumed) parting. Legacy is a very important theme in this game, so I like that it's being honored in the storytelling this way.

Yes he did, but that was also M's plan. Swap with Mio, and have her (playing the role of M) beat and subjugate the party, allowing Mio to live on and giving her the release from the life of Moebius she never wanted in a months time. However Taion was too smart and figured out a way to beat her Moebius powers, forcing N to step in.

I also love how it explains the Consul M fight. The fact that her battle theme has flutes playing, the fact that she switches from sorrowful to gleefully cruel; it’s because Mio’s trying to play the part of Moebius to make sure nobody catches on!

Source: My headcanon

@@CrimsonFrenchie A bunch of gamers getting together on the internet to say "this is true" doesn't make it so. If that were the case, we'd have already gotten Moebius N and M's outfits half a year ago. Besides, crediting wikis as your source is like playing a game of telephone. One guy has an idea, claims it is "likely a reference to" or "may be inspired by" something, and then everyone goes along with it as if it were irrefutable fact. Unless a writer comes out and says "We took inspiration from these characters" it's all just headcanon. Though, admittedly, that's probably not gonna happen.

@@The_Endless_Now You do realize that the people that worked on Xenogears, Xenosaga and Xenoblade 2 are the same ones who worked on Xenoblade 3, right? So it's not uncommon that they'd reference characters of their previous works.

@@CrimsonFrenchie _"But what does this have to do with Star Wars?"_ -Dunban Jk this really isn't anything worth debating over, I wish you a good day or evening or night depending on your time zone

​@@The_Endless_Now Clearly said "similarities" hhhh

Nah an in-universe reference would be a fusion of Zanza and Malos.

From Symphonia?

@@MrWanton16 Yup

I see a ton of Jin from XC2/Torna in N

He's just Jin 2

Cuz he recorded like half of the lines in this scene and was just happy to hear himself in the game?

Mio was jin if lora's final words, his previous self, and her final minutes didn't make him cave into his fears.

It really depends. Xenoblade had a problem with folks not staying dead. While there's nothing as brutal as fioras the deaths still hit hard. also this video is from the best part of the game. Stop spoiling yourself go play it.

LOL if it helps I will put a spoiler way down at the bottom of my comment do not click down unless you want to be spoiled on XC:DE Spoiler WARNING: Fiora Lives
