We can truly say that these were the Xenoblade Chronicles

Of course Xenoblade isn't over. We still need to see Melia and Nia going to book club together.

“We can truly say these are the Xenoblade Chronicles” - Luxin almost said this, 2023.🤣

Honestly playing through future redeemed for the first time it felt like the message of walking towards the future embracing the past, was meta in a way. We are entering a whole new stage in the series. Which might scare a few people, but the stories and characters that we've followed for so long will still be with us every step of the way.

I loved when Mwamba said “this is the Jujonis”, and everyone cried in amusement.

14 min video about how Takahashi said "it's not the end" in an interview a few months ago. Cool.

Thank God the series isnt ending here, because we still havent found the Xenoblade.

Tbh I’d be perfectly fine if Xenoblade went the way of Final Fantasy or Fire Emblem and started telling stories set in universes wholly disconnected from one another but sharing common elements (Nopon, hard swerve into full blown science fiction in the final act, level 81 monkey in the starting grassland, etcetera).

"This goodbye is not the end I know until we meet again Our feelings will remain the same Together as one, 'til we find ourselves again"

How sick would a Future Redeemed skin for Shulk be in a future Smash game lol

I'm so deep in this series😭, like for 11 years already since I got addicted to the chuuga playthrough , no game series has ever captured my attention with its lore like this series... looking forward to more xenoblades in the future☺️

My friends and I discussed that what’s probably gonna happen is that the story of future Xenoblade games will be unconnected to the other games but will still include some cute references/Easter eggs. Like imagine walking down a metropolis and seeing a billboard advertising "Lucky Seven Burgers" or "Rex Soda" lol

When Rex said "These truly have been the Xenoblade Chronicles", it hit different

I hope we get a spin off or an OVA of how the worlds came back together properly.

After losing my grandfather in 2021, I stumbled into the Xenoblade Chronicles series and I have to say, it was an entirely cathartic experience and moment of healing for me. The work that was done weaving these world and their stories into one, future culmination was utterly fascinating and my absolute favorite of any RPG. I truly look forward towards the given future with hope that these stories continue on in some reference and individuality.

Something I noticed is that when Rex tells Glimmer that they’ll meet again before entering the rift at the end of future redeemed, it could be the developers’ way of saying that the cast of 1 2 and 3 will return in the next installment of the game, and I think for a very good reason. There’s this video I saw that played the post credits scene of base xenoblade 3 and Future Redeemed at the same time, and it shows that the moment Noah hears Mio’s flute is roughly when the worlds turn into one complete planet. So maybe we will see the cast of the 3 games fully interact in xenoblade 4, maybe it’s shortly after the events of 3 and we’ll get to see the cast of 3 but as actual kids and Shulk and Rex will help them out within this new world while a new threat emerges and they need to stop it. Since we still haven’t seen the full return of characters like Dunban or Morag, just because it’s the end of the Klaus saga doesn’t mean that it’s the end of the characters or the world itself. This video was awesome, Luxin, keep it up!

I think if a new saga is happening around the new world we should let the old cast rest.

Thank you so much for acknowledging the fact that the "Klaus Saga" is entirely a fandom construct. Also thank you for this video in general, people are being really weird about this stuff and I appreciate you using your platform to clarify things for people.

Holding out hope for SOME kind of a confirmation that shulk snd rex got out okay after the worlds merged. I know they probably did but knowing their stories for now have ended inside origin makes me really sad. Let them be happy with their kids 😭

I'm actually very excited to see what they can come up with next. Their lore building and story telling is second to none. It's been several weeks since I finished Future Redeemed and I'm still geeking out about it every damn day.

I think it's time for Mythra's child to take the stage in the next Xenoblade game, Rex said it's their turn on the Xenobox now.

Me: but I want to know if the XC3 main cast gets to meet again!! MS: MOVE ON DUDE, MOVE ON!!

Another upload from the goat

yea the fact takahashi said this was the *storyline* of klaus's experiment ending leads me to believe that somehow this continuity will continue whether same universe or different universe within the same multiverse. I agree that if they just wanted to do a new continuity, they might as well just make a new IP atp. If Saga or X doesn't get canonized or a xenoblade version of those events don't happen, The worlds merging back prob is what takahashi meant in as this is the future setting for games

Now that I'm thinking about it, I'm shocked that with all the flowery language Zed spoke with he never said something like, "Let this be an end to that Blade's Chronicles."

I got the whole meaning of Xeno 3 and 3FR, "Chase the future, protect the past" seems that was the direction Takahashi wanted to go in. If we do see a new Xenoblade game it's likely it could explore the areas of Klaus' world that survived the cataclysm and subsequent remerging, but that's just speculation. I think it's likely we will see old characters again, though I think vastly important characters will only be mentioned in passing, that's the only way to use those characters without them wanting to be involved in the story, cus let's be real, Shulk and Rex wouldn't sit back while something threatened their world, especially not Rex. We could see Matthew and Ghondor again, I'd like to see new versions of them that are explored, that way we could treat FR as a teaser for the future and not just a culmination. (also pls monolith soft confirm who Mythra's kid is already it's killing me)

Honestly, I'm more satisfied than ever when it comes to wanting more of Shulk, Rex, and their associated parties. I wouldn't mind more, but I no longer feel like I totally need more. FR shed light on the particulars of what myself and many others predicted with the huge question of "well, what happens to them after the credits roll?" Shulk and Fiora tied the knot, had at least one kid, could be more, could be just one. Regardless, they all ought to be safely reunited thanks to Origin, memories and all. Rex and his loves, same deal. Neatly wrapped up. Noah and Mio, we now know will get the chance to meet again, and every other little nugget of extra fanservice that FR threw is regarding past characters, they get to live their normal lives again. If we're to see these characters again, I'd prefer if they remain as references, or as supporting characters, out of the action. They have been through more than enough. Possibly even 2-style non-canon cameos thanks to our favorite reality-warping Nopon. All that to say, I'm satisfied, and hope that if old, beloved characters show up again, they don't need to be put through the wringer.

I think this is a wonderful ending. While I do want to see Noah and Mio reuniting, I would not mind if we only hear about it in a later game.

I can't believe that Luxin still hasn't adressed the fact that all music in Xenoblade Chronicles (at least the numbered games) exist in cannon.

12:32 If this happens I will explode with joy and excitement far more than I can put into words. I don't care if it's fan service I just really want to see these characters connecting in hopefully a less dreary world-state then Aionios.

5:56 "Hi, I'm John Xenoblade. Here are my Chronicles."

Luxin: "Xenoblade is not over!" Me: "I hope so! We still haven't seen Mythra's kid yet! 🤣(And no, D is NOT Mythra's son, I refuse to believe that!)"

In crying inside

WOOOO ANOTHER LUXIN UPLOAD!!

My takeaway from the post credits scene was that it was this planet It was something about this planet

I get the vibe that they’re definitely gonna diverge from making explicit connections to past games the same way 2 and 3 did but it may still be the same universe. Like maybe it’s far in the future and the races will still all be around but the story will be about something completely different. Maybe there are callbacks or location references here and there but not to the extent most 3 areas were remixes of old ones, stuff where it’s still the same continuity/world but you don’t need to play the past games to understand. Xenoblade as a franchise is by no means over, esp with it only ever getting more successful with each game

new luxin vid always makes my day :)

Rn, my current theory is that Xenoblade Chronicles 4 will have Mythra's kid as the protagonist or at the very least a main party member. A protagonist role would be dope though since I'd see it as a symbolic transition from one saga and into a new one. What better way to do that than to bring in a past character's kid for the role? This of course sets in the possibility that we'll see characters like Pyra, Mythra, Rex, Mio, etc again. However, now that we've seen how Takahashi handles returning characters, I doubt XC4 will overindulge us. Returning characters will likely be sparse - perhaps play minor roles - or just none at all since we are coming off a saga that included 5 returning characters - 4 of them having major roles and the last one a quick cameo - and while I do have some issues with the execution myself, XC3 and FR certainly feel like a stopping point for the series. XC4 will likely be a completely standalone game - with some reference perhaps - but I don't think this'll be the last time we see characters from the Klaus Saga. Just that we aren't going to see them in a VEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERY long time! Maybe, like, in Xenoblade Chronicles 6, or however long this series continues. My only hope is that we'll eventually get a concrete answer on how the worlds managed to fuse together. I'm fine with it being ambiguous for now, but I definitely don't want it to be that way forever, lol. The possibilities are truly endless rn!

I say there's room for three Xenoblade series moving forward. One set in the world of 1 and 2 showing what comes next for those characters, one set in the world of X resolving the cliffhanger ending, and one set in new worlds each time able to tell beginning-to-end stories in a single game without an over-arcing continuity.

My take away Tldr: it's like Kingdom Hearts 3 is just the end of Xehanort as the big bad not the series or Sora as protagonist X3 is just the end of the plot revolving around Claus's experiment And my guess, the next game will be a spinoff that covers exactly HOW the world's successfully recombined before going into 4(which I saw the idea could be called "Xenoblade Saga" which would be neat)

I’m hoping Xenoblade Chronicles 4 or whatever it will be called will have a lose connection like taking place millennia in the future in the reunited world with small references of its connection without outright stating it. Another idea would to expand on the interstellar settlements mentioned in the radio in Klaus’s world and kind of retell the Xenosaga franchise that is compatible with Xenoblade lore, maybe called Xenoblade Saga or something like that.

LUXIN UPLOAD!!!!!! HYPE!

Woooo! A lovely Luxin video on a lovely Wednesday night 😎

LUXIN YOUR CONTROLLER!!!! 13:31

commenting because these truly were the xenoblade chronicles

low battery jumpscare the "this really was the xenoblade chronicles" joke made me curious about something... what do you think of the idea that Noah's "embarrassing" name for lucky 7 was "The Xenoblade"

new luxin video i can actually watch lets gooo

I'm okay with 3 being the end of the klaus saga but MAN i need 3s party in my life in some form. I need to know that they all are back together and happy....I HAVE TOO! Lol and yes i know the post credits technically means they are okay but i need to see that moment in my eye holes.

Luxin my dude where would i be without you for understanding what this series has to offer properly

you got me with the line at the end of the video

Loved the low battery warning

My perdictions: -a possible future game will get at least a unique protagonist, possibly a unique party (in both torna and future redeemed, the main characters (lora and matthew) were unique, although having roots in their respectective games. This tells me that the team doesn't like to repeat main characters.) -All three pervious games will be refrenced in some way that much is obvious, possibly one of the party characters will have some tie to a former one (kind of like how mio has a very similar design to nia, probably even more substantional.) -The world will have plenty of unique elements, a unique story and a unique setting, but share some from previous games (a familar location or two, familar assets to the world, and some easter eggs for big fans.) - Rex, shulk, and noah will appear in some capacity, most likely a minor one. - the game will have unique systems for battle, without changing the core mechanics of battle (think of one to two, to three. They all have very similar battle mechanics, however have different ways of handling customization of it. One you leveled up your arts, two had the core crystals, and three had the class sytem. They also had ever so slightly different additions to battle, one didn't have anything noticable, Two had the different elemental combos while three had the kevesi (wait for recharge) and agnian (auto attack for recharge) styles of battle. Those are my perdictions, why don't you tell me yours? I'm intrested.

When A said "This truly was the Xenoblade Chronicles" to Shulk and rex in the white room, it really hit me

This is all well and good, but what frustrates me in fiction is when closed-book stories are brought back several times after they've ended. It robs said stories of having a sense of conclusion and it'll just reach a point where true conclusively can never be reached because it's always getting undone (like Star Wars). With the credits of Future Redeemed and how 3 as a whole ended, I would rather they leave this continuity and characters alone and give them this as a true ending. And just like KOS-MOS, having them referenced here and there for fun callbacks is totally acceptable, but not in a new adventure all-together. Either a large time-skip or exploring the other universes seems like a good way to continue the series to me.

I like when Mwamba came in at the end, saved the day, and was all like" So THAT happened!", followed by everyone, oncluding the villains, laughing and we got the classic sitcom ending slides.

One thing that hasn't been explained is why we are given Mio's final words after the post credits scene, which confirms that she doesn't meet Noah again for so long that she forgets his appearance. To reconcile the two creates some possible order of events. It could be their wish on their deathbeds after full lives that causes origin to join the worlds for the end credits. Or it could be that despite the implied reunion, that they don't actually physically reunite after the worlds join. It's a contradiction to resolve.

I like to think that every xenoblade game is gonna have a reincarnation of Vandham, and he's just gonna show up whenever needed to punch some sense into whoever needs it, almost like a defense mechanism of the world

you got me there not gonna lie

This very well not be the last time we see these characters. I really wanna Noah and Mio reunite. As well as Rex’s whole family. Plus we still have no clue who Mythra’s kid is. In all likelihood they could be one the main characters for Xenoblade 4. What I do hope though is that because this is the end of the Klaus saga, that doesn’t entirely mean things like the Conduit and the Trinity Processor won’t be used anymore in some way. If anything I’m hoping the next saga tackles themes aren’t the same optimism for the future stuff the Klaus saga tackled.

The low battery warning at 13:32 lmaoooo

You know Luxin, these really were the Chronicles of the Xenoblade.

13:10 "shut up, Reyn"

Y’know, the one thing I think fans of the entire “Blade” trilogy were hoping for but never got to see was Shulk, Rex, and Noah(/Mio) fighting side by side, as 3’s DLC promo image initially hinted. Given everyone’s ages in the original timeline though, we could see a party consisting of exactly that in Xenoblade 4. If they wanted a 6 character party again, we could even include Nikol and Glimmer. The protags of all 3 games, as well as the children of of 1 and 2’s. Lemme clarify I’m not EXPECTING this or getting my hopes up for it, there are plenty of reasons NOT to do this. But I think seeing Shulk, Rex, Noah, and Mio together in one party at least would be really cool if Monolith Soft is interested in doing it.

Noah and Mio pass each other by on a set of stairs in New Tokyo like in Your Name

I sure hope it is as you said.I'm not ready to leave those characters behind

Only a 14 minute video? Luxin's slacking off.

I like to think that when old rex said "we are just taking a break for a while" he really meant it. I don't know how but maybe in a way all of those characters are still going to be represented/reborn/referenced or in any way live throughout the series. Is not a goodbye forever ❤

4 weeks since your last video and we only get a small bite 😂😂 Bring on the feature films!

I'm still banking on the next protag being whoever Mythra's kid is; their existence, yet complete absence from anything 3 or FR is kind of an elephant in the room that goes suspiciously unadressed

Future Redeemed post-credit scene theory if you old enough to play the xenosaga series links every thing and if they do explore the falling light it’s most likely kos mos

I gotta say, I feel like Matthew’s arc has hit hardest for me. Honored and so glad Monolithsoft has made an amazing story + enjoyable rpg game ie. FR!

mfw luxin drops a video that doesn't have spoilers for games i haven't played :)

Melia and Nia can communicate via the medium of light I would love an analysis on what this could mean for the future of the series. Also why does no one seem to question or look into this? Seems significant

THANK YOU.

I liked and commented because these truly were the Xenoblade Chronicles

These were truly the Xenoblade Chronicles

If you put the post credit scene of XC3 and FR side by side... They mysteriously match up

it would be nice to have a game where we see the events leading up to Klaus's experiment actually

You could also interpret the lyrics from Future Awaits to say that you'll see these characters direct future on the other side of the merge. Personally, I would like to see the characters exploring their new world, freed from all the Klaus stuff. I'm not sure what would make it Xeno at that point tho, lol. Loved the video, assuming we know what they have planned feels presumptuous at this point, one way or another.

My thoughts are that Xenoblade 4 will probably continue from the DLC ending of 3, but years and years into the future, where the characters we know are gone (outside of probably DLC references, and maybe characters being blood related to them). I feel like we'll probably see races from 1 and 2's worlds, but an entirely different plot, and entirely different threat. Maybe A could still hang around, given I don't think they'd be going anywhere, but who knows.

10:15 Indeed, something consistent through all three Chronicles games is that both the worlds themselves and the populations within them, are much, much smaller than what existed in the original world. Not to say we should expect a future game to have eight billion people and a explorable world the size of Earth (they're starting over with a small founding population after all), but it does leave a ton of room for landscapes that are not simply pieces of Titans to be included by the developers without any need for explanations beyond "this is the result of the planet reforming."

This truly has been a Xenoblade Chronicles.

If we get Xenoblade 4, I want to see Mythra’s kid

Still waiting for X2, 8 years for that cliffhanger

If the next Xenoblade protag’s not named John Xenoblade, we strike

I did think that the newly remerged world was just earth with bionis + alrest on top of it but never thought about the fact that means theres "new" unexplored land to venture out into. If Xenoblade 4 is the same setting, really onboard with the blue star being the plotpoint where descendants or old/new characters find out about it. If this is all true, I wonder how much they will tie back to the trilogy beside the absolute necessity or if nothing is carried over just references. Xenoblade has been good about standalone experiences even 3 so I trust monolith with being friendly to newcomers. I wouldn't be surprised tho if 4, unlike 3 + FR, makes no callbacks as klaus's story is done beside the occasional cool or neat reference or like 3, the races being present but never talked about

The idea that I am hoping we get some version of is that the blue light is KOS-MOS and she lands in water and is fished up by Rex as salvage, and taken to Shulk to repair.

We can now truly say that these were the Xenoblade Chronicles

These were the chronicles of the Xenoblade.

The dev team said there will be more xc series but if its related or not we dont know. I just wanna see everyone from both do some cameo or something. I wanna all those trio kids being with each other

Going off of the Post Credits scene of CBX3 where we see kid Noah following the sound of a flute playing before seemingly disappearing and FR Post credit scene with the two worlds safely merging, I wouldn't be surprised if the merge happened soon after Origin reactivated. As we know, the world of XBC1 was created by Klaus' experiment, which also split himself in half and destroyed his original world, which we'll call earth. Klaus, now going by the Architect, creates the cloud sea covering up what was left of the destroyed earth, then created blades and titans and created a whole new cycle of life. Fast-forward to the point of the Two worlds wanting to remerge with each other and we find out that if the two worlds were to collide they'd destroy each other due to the worlds being made of different matter, leading to the origin project which is stated to recreate both worlds as is. Now after my rambling out the way, on to my very simple theory: theory goes that when origin reactivated and recreated both worlds, they were recreated with the same matter allowing both worlds to safely merge into one. Personally I don't see this as Klaus' experiment as being "undone" but more of Klaus' experiment being completed.

This has truly been the chronicles of the xenoblade

I feel like we're still going to see the different races like homs, high entia, nopon, mechon, lefterians, flesh eaters and blades

I think for future games/trilogies, instead of calling it "Xenoblade *Chronicles*," they should have the subtitle be something else in order to separate them. Honestly, I think X should have done that as well.

Damn Luxin you got me 13:18

If they want to make a whole new plotline for 4 onwards, I think now is a great opportunity for them to make Xenoblade Warriors and have an actual good lore reason for why all the past characters are there. And have it still be canon, if that’s what Takahashi would want, anyway. There could even be a side mode, a la adventure mode from OG Hyrule Warriors, for all the characters that don’t make sense to be there storywise. That or DLC

The biggest thing in this video I agree with is - barring Monolith doing a 180 in what they're doing and abandoning story based RPGs, the probability of there not being more Xenoblade games is close to 0. Xenoblade has become one of Nintendo's biggest cash cows at this point, and they're pushing it hard - XC3 and FR were the show-stopper and show-starter in two different Directs, this is a level of prominence that basically only Mario, Pokemon and Zelda get to beat. They're not about to let this name go away if they have ANY say in it. Even if the next vaguely Xeno-like game Monolith puts out is as different from Xenoblade as Blade was from Saga, you can bet your life it's going to have Xenoblade in the name - maybe Xenoblade Chronicles 4, or maybe they start a subseries with a different subtitle - maybe it's like Xenoblade Legends 1 or something along those lines.

The low battery notification

My guess would be that the key to reuniting the worlds is in how many people in Aionios were of both worlds at once - that is, the people of the City. That maybe the worlds HAVE TO come back together because of the people of the City, and also because of Ouroboros. Or at least somehow that connection allows the Ouroboros six to, as children, retain memories of Aionios, and it motivates them to contact Melia/Nia, and use that connection as the basis to undo the Klaus fuck-up. in terms of what form future games would take - there was a heavy emphasis on the future, so I think it will be in the re-merged Earth, maybe focused on rebuilding civilization. I actually think the smartest take would be to have the resolutions for the Xenoblade 1-3 characters as historical information, maybe learned through flavor text or sidequests, oral history, etc. You could have characters probably distantly descended from characters we know, but there should only be a handful of practically immortal characters alive. There's kind of no reason for Nia to be dead, lol, she's about as immortal as it's possible for a character in this series to be. Poppi I feel probably could easily come back too. Melia, maybe. also, considering Rex and Shulk are implied to have been kept alive by being in Origin's core, that means A might be as well, and could persist as their own individual. I feel like bringing the characters back for more of a direct sequel would be a bit cheap and lacking in imagination, BUT making something that's only a spiritual sequel would also be a letdown, so really the best path is just concretely following up on the end of Xenoblade 3 with the restored Earth and whatever conflicts are associated with it. In terms of what the conflict of the series would be, going forwards, it might be about what form the future takes. It'll kind of depend on what the new Earth looks like, and what it does or does not have. It would be kind of interesting if it boiled down to an argument over legacies - with various characters claiming that the characters we know from 1-3 stood for various things.

Xenoblade can't go now, Lora (best girl) still hasn't been miraculously revived to live out the future she deserved.
