You're one of the cultured Xenoblade fans. We can be friends.

My left ear after 5 years is no longer lonely

seriously, engage the enemy is one of the things that makes this cutscenes all the more engaging and thrilling

The first cutscene hits different.

Everybody gangsta till the piano starts playing

The “Who’s Going to Die Today” song

damn I always get the chills when fiora goes all Ripley on metal face, yeah he "kills" her but damn the sheer amount of balls she displays.

After knowing that the definitive edition was in the making, I couldn't wait for a remaster of this video!

After looking at the original game graphics, dear god this is beautiful

Shulk in the beginning: "It's not me, it's the power of the Manado" Shulk in the end: I am the power

The VAs in XC1 did such a good job!!

Thats mad dedication, 5 years and same thumbnail but in high definition

I like ho you used the same thumbnails of 5 years ago

This anime has one of the best English dubs tbh

I like it when it transitions into "You will know our names"

DunsparceAndDiglett is a man of focus, commitment, and sheer fucking will for remaking their video 5 years later

"I swear I won't stop until I scrapped each and every one of you" Sharla is probably my least favorite party member (Not bad per say, just has some major problems) but that line is fucking amazing

The majority of deaths in this game are because people didnt listen to shulk yelling at them.

Something has always bothered me about the Monado Shield and Monado Speed cutscenes. Monado Shield affects the whole team in combat, but only activated on Reyn in the cutscene. Monado Speed can only be activated on one team member, but affects all three in the cutscene. I think it might be a thing left over from the designing phases, because granting physical immunity to the whole team is a lot more powerful then granting a one time shield against certain moves. Idk, anyone else notice that?

Melia always coming in clutch with the Mind Blast

Imagine if Shulk was in Smash Brawls Subspace Emissary. The cutscenes would be crazy

I just played Xenoblade Chronicles for the first time through Definitive Edition, and I gotta say Engage the Enemy is one of my new favorite video game tracks ever.

"I'LL KILL YOUUUUU!" "Can I save her?" _Of course you can._ "I swear I won't stop until I've scrapped each and every one of you!" "The men you lost... I can tell they were dear to you. I know only too well that desire for revenge. And the crushing pain of losing those close to you. I can't stand by and let another person experience what I have. This monster is going down!" "Mechon. It's not over. The people of Bionis will never let you triumph!" "Dunban, you'll never win! Get on your knees and worship me!" "Never. I will strike you down and all that you have become, you wretched fool. The Monado will stop you. And then you will know the shame of all that you have done, traitor!" "I will never forgive what he's done. And yet... Your words. They ring true. I feel their weight." "The Homs are nothing but bacteria clinging to my body." "They are living beings! If you can not understand this, you have no right to call yourself a god!" "And who decides that? A god. Because only a god may decide." "Stand up, Fiora! Did you not say you wanted to be with Shulk?! Do not throw your life away for this scoundrel!" "She's right! You have to take what you want! There's no point in dying!" "Shulk! Show him what you're made of! Come on, man! You don't need the Monado to take down this piece of scum!" "Riki know! Riki know Shulk brave! Riki want to see the old Shulk! Shulk is real Heropon!" "Shulk! Real power comes from within! Believe in your own true strength, Shulk!" "I will not fail. With your faith in me, and our strength combined... We can do this."

Damn, I never grow tired of watching these cutscenes.

Mumkhar kills Fiora during a scene where Shulk couldn't prevent the future. Mumkhar dies during a scene where Shulk couldn't prevent his future.

By putting the eyepatch on Dunban, I can already tell you are a cool fan

Whenever this song plays you KNOW shit is about to go down.

I love xenoblade 2 and all, but hearing Shulks screams is so refreshing from the Aaaaaaaaiyah

cant wait to see "You went too faaf...you foof..." in HD

1:03 is where men cried.

When I played definitive edition I had to FORCE myself to turn the game off and be productive with my life

This is one of the best tracks of the game, and one of my personal favorites. I love how well it ties in with each cutscene that it is used in, it almost feels like the devs based the pacing of the cutscenes with the song itself.

26:08 Melia is a fictional character, but she deserves the world for this.

Song with the biggest kill count

Mumkhar: Has killed entire colonies of Homs, also including causing Dunban's sister to be brainwashed, just for the Monado Shulk: nOoOoO yOu CaN'T kIlL hIm He'S a HoM tOoOoO Dunban: ok

Holy shit this video exists specifically for me. Thanks!

Shulk running down Bionis's wrist while screaming at Egil they're gonna save Fiora, all with EtE's climax in the background (especially after Dunban's best moment) makes that cutscene the one i loved the most about this enchanting game. Xeno truly is THE Nintendo's JRPG.

God the Guitar at the beginning of ETE makes it so good!

You know shit got real when you heard this song kick in

This and Counterattack in XC2 really give these games so much energy. I love XC3 and it’s slowly becoming one of my favourite games ever, even surpassing XC1 and XC2, but it lacks that 1 single song to tie all those major moments together, there are 2-3 great tracks that I feel got underused slightly that could have all been that. I love of these games, what a trilogy

The munkar and dunban scene is my favorite usage of the cutscene. That and colony 9, for nearly opposite reasons

Mumkhar's fall is by far the most intense in my opinion

This is the counterattack of this game and I love that.

One thing thats always bothered me about the cutscene where you unlock Speed is that the boss afterwards doesnt use Engage the Enemy. The build up is perfect, the fight starts at just the right time for the music to go all in, and it just... doesnt. They did use Engage the Enemy later for the Telethia, so I really dont get why this is a thing.

Such a great game

a perfect game

I'm playing Xenoblade 3 at the moment and I could say this is still the best Xenoblade soundtrack ever.

omg thank you

Listening to Engage the Enemy by itself feels kind of strange without Shulk yelling in the background lmao

This was the best game ive ever had the pleasure of playing, on the wii as a kid and on the switch as a 15 yr, the only thing i want is to play this true masterpeice of a game blind again, to be absolutely blown away with the story, to have goose bumps all over my body after listening to engage the enemy for the first time, and experience the incredible plot twist at the end. Oh well the only way ill be able to do this is when im old and have dementia, ig ill have to wait till then, and thats a price worth paying.

you are underrated as fuc-

Yep, Mumkhar got what he deserve at the end.

0:26 and onwards is so damn epic, how the whole party encourages Shulk and that "Hero Walk" of Shulk and Fiora at the end walking heroic directly towards the camera + the music reaching it's absolute apex there....just brilliantly done by Monolith Soft!

This is so awesome when you've played Xenoblade Chronicles 2 and know what's going on in that alternate universe

The last one is definitely the hypest, especially when it cuts to you will know our names at the end

3:09 "aaaaahhh"

Yeah, there’s just something about this song that hits just right.

18:00 I get why people take away that shulk is saying “nooo we cant kill him he’s homs and that would make us just as bad :(((“ from the scene but imo I don’t think that’s what shulks saying at all. what shulk is actually saying is “Hey We don’t know what’s going on mumkar could be brainwashed like fiora and their deaths would be pointless” It’s less of shulk saying “killing people is bad” because he outright says he wants revenge on mumkar too and was willing to kill Dickinson and did kill zanza and more wanting to understand their reasons

2:28 Me when someone is about to eat the last Pizza I was saving for Lunch.

This music is so good, anything looks epic with this song playing.

The Dunban-Mumkhar fight & Egil reveal cutscene is one of my favorite cutscenes from a videogame ever

god i love this game

In other words "All the Scenes That Dominate Your Complete Attention"

This song is Nintendo’s version of You say run from My Hero Academia

THIS IS THE POWER OF THE MONADO

Same thumbnail lmao

everybody gangsta till engage the enemy comes on

Engage the enemy into you will know our names is such a boss combo

Ah yes, the theme that first plays when someone is about to die, and last plays also when someone is about to die except this time it's the bad guy who is about to die

Blocking is really cool guys

That first one made me cry the first time, I like had a crush on pheona not gonna deny it

"We are Homs, waiting to be eaten"

You tryna make me cry?

That metal face scene is peak fiction.

What a fucking tutorial mode

Fiora tokyo drifted the mobile artillery round that corner huh

4:29 what the hell is Shulk on to make these moves, damn!

Extreme supercut edition: Every line spoken when the main riff starts up: 1:24 "Urgh! " ~Fiora 4:14 "'Course! Leave it to me!" ~Reyn 6:27 "I ate them all up!" ~Xord 8:22 "The Monado?" ~Xord 10:01 "I'll trap him with the Monado!" ~Shulk 11:26 "But that's impossible!" ~Duncan 13:18 "Give me the power I need!" ~Shulk 15:28 "I will strike you down and all you have become, you wretched fool." ~Dunban over there 17:21 "Mumkhar!" ~Duncan 19:09 "They're people! Like us!" ~Shulk 21:03 *gets impaled* ~Metal Face 22:54 "And who decides that? A god." ~Zanza 25:20 "Who knows how much life it's got in it?" ~Dickson 27:14 "Everyone..." ~Shulk

Shulk's "I'll Kill You"! gave me so many chills

Fiora/Mio get same traitement, Meynarh and M passastion

25:47-25:53 How it feels speedrunning a large toilet session.

please up the bitrate. you can barely tell what's going on in the monado speed cutscene because it's pixelated as hell

I' m still baffled Fiora and Tataru from ff 14 have same VA

What is the last one? Is it part of "Future connected"? I can't remember that scene AT ALL.

11:02 "How do you know me?" Gee, I dunno, maybe Melia said your name 15 seconds ago?

You missed tephra cave

So when is the anime coming out

So many spoilers

Gotta say. XBC 1st chapter was depressing

This game is really good. If it weren't for the gameplay, I would've probably gone as far as to actually finish the game. I kind of got tired of the gameplay when I got to around Galahad Fortress.

I'll ask here 'cause it won't be spoiler for anyone viewing this video. Why does the Makinas' sword for Shulk work as the Monade?

If only Rex yelled like this... While I enjoy xenoblade 2 more with gameplay. Story and voice acting... goes to one. But x actually wins in gameplay But music looks cutscenes and story go to definitive... music in 2 isn’t bad but it doesn’t stick with toy

Pixel-ly

15:20

I’m not saying the remastered Engage The Enemy is bad, but in my opinion, the original just feels more impactful. The remaster of the song is still good, I just prefer the original version

🤺⚔️🗡🎹’🎹’🎹’🎹’🎹’🎹’🎹🎶Ahhh Ah ahh ahhhhahahhahh hah ~ AYAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHhHhhHhHhHhHhHhHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHhHhHhHhHhHhHHhHHhHHHhHHHHHhHHHhHhHhHhHHhHhHhHhhhHhhHhHhhhhhHhhbHHhHhHhHhHhHhHHHhHHhHHhHhHhHhHhHhhHhHhHhHhHHHhHhHhHHhHHhHhHhHHhHhHhHHHhHHHhHHHHHHhHHHhHHHhHhHHhhHhHhHhHHHhHhHhHHhHH 🎵🎶

Holy shit that voice acting... awful, no voices fit the characters.

butchered arrangement of the song

I need this in jap.
