as far as dedicated directs go this one was near perfect for me. All i wanted was for them to show the characters dubbed voices and how the battle system works in english and i got that along with the basic story plot of the game. Glad i already preordered this yesterday

Can’t wait for the 2 hour long analysis

I'm SO glad the "hero" characters can be put into the party at any time. Their designs are so good. The combat looks even better than what I was hoping for.

In the Class change menu they made a distinction between "Master Arts" and "Master Skills" so I think that each character will also get passive skills from the class at certain levels

Something you may want to consider for the analysis: In the beginning, when the two ouroboros-like figures refer to one another as D and P respectively, it reminded me of the Documentary Hypothesis. It was a scholarly take on the authorship of the Pentateuch that was popular back in the 20th century. It posits that the first five books of the Old Testament were written by four authors, J (the jahwist), E (the Elohist), D (the Deuteronomist), and P (the Priestly source), based distinct writing styles that were believed to have been spliced together over centuries of revisions. Might be a stretch, but it's easy to imagine Takahashi pulling from it.

I can't wait for Noah to meet Noah 2 and have a complete mental breakdown

Holy shit I was not expecting a “Minecraft; the way home” reference today 💀 I’m so glad I subscribed

“Enjoy your adventures in the world of Aionios” Thanks buddy but I can assure you that since this is a Xeno game I *will* be shaking and crying by the end of this!

So I'm sure hindsight will show minor spoilers in this. They're so out of context I don't even care. So looking forward to this! Riku's voice is so jarring for a Nopon. . . kinda dig it

I love the 6 Noah coats

This much content I’m expecting a legit 24 hour long analysis video

The feel when Grahf and Testaments. I imagine one of the Testaments will just turn out to be that guy who looked like he died at the scene there in the same way king of Torna did.

You know, with the slightly mechanical look that everyones eyes seem to have, the HUD system that seems to be built in, and the fact that people are manufactured.. I'm getting strong Xenoblade X vibes from the game.

Those red guys in the trailer are giving me real Solaris vibes. With the weird people in tubes room and they way they seem to be playing both sides.

I can hear the depression and dread in your voice when you say you're gonna do the analysis now, have fun

I just realized that Taion and Eunie's Ouroboros looks like Fiora's "Soloist's Cowling outfit from DE...

have fun analysing every single second of the direct

Good luck luxin with the analysis

Interesting to see how Alex's weapon seems to be a mix between Pandoria's sword and Brigid's whip

the black hair with the mask in the theater is Noah or is who Noah is cloned from their faces are 100% the same

"That's a bird." I needed that confirmation, thank you :)

This was quite the wild ride of news

Ok, so on the expansion pass, the monado in the ground is the monado REX, which implies that its gonna be FC shulk showing up. What I'm curious about though, is if Rex is going to have some after story connections through his dialogue, or if it's just going to be him like right after the end of Xeno 2

Video game good

Did you know? In the last trailer, when the red thingy of noahs' sword comes on his left arm. It reminds me a lot of the red armor of P. , D. and the rest of the Consules :)

Mio's white Ouroboros is KOS-MOS reference. Look clearly at the hair, body shape, and visor on the Japanese site.

If Mio is related to Nia, it's possible her weakness to dry climates comes from a water element, similar to Brighid having trouble with lots of water

I'm excited for "Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Direct analysis - The Snyder Cut"

Ay luxin My boy you are best boy

This game is already my GOTY

The direct was insane. I almost wish they shown a bit less "story" even though it feels they only shown really really early story content and they seem to hide big things so we might have not been too spoiled this time ? I can't wait for this game it seems to have learned so much from all 3 last games.

As hilarious as it is in Chinese mythology flying swords and surfing on said sword is a thing, hilarious I know.

I still remember when Blunz's "Ah yes, the Xenophone" video came out moments after the direct. True solidarity among the community

Did you noticed that the three swords are the Shulk's new monado (the one from future connected) and Pyra Sword? The DLC probably will be paralel events with these people. Probably the size of Torna or even bigger.

I honestly can't wait for this game... i bought the switch oled just to play it... the new features are basically my dreams come true

I have been waiting for this

I'm glad I have this on pre order it looks much better than expected.

21:48 Gray: They don’t know I’m a *Xenoblade X reference*

"Minecraft; the way home?!" *Ah, a man of culture, I see...*

the camuravi silhouette was actually part of the class selection menu, not the hero selection menu, this of course doesn't deconfirm him as playable but it doesn't confirm it either something else I'd like to point out : some of the other wild ride guys and other shady people look suspiciously similar to our 6 party members (like that black haired guy at the end is litterally noah) so I imagine they could be characters from a previous aionios timeline and are observing what happens in this new timeline ("let us see how far the flow brings them this time")

Love mio's voice

I wonder how crazy the combos can be with that party size an hotswapping all the skills Ourowhat considering Xenoblade X has people killing mega airborne bosses from the ground without using the Mech

Endless customization in this game. I'm gonna play this forever.

Remember how we joked about the 6 Noahs ? After this trailer I think this may not be a joke anymore

now that's how you do amibo content not locking full content but cool shit like the shulk amibo which I will 100% be doing at some point in my playthrough. wish it was the true sword tho

What I took away: - this is undeniably the worlds of 1 and 2 smashed together. Identifiable landmarks are all over the footage. - Blades and Humans _can_ breed, and they did, considering that Sena has hair that ends in blue flames like Brighid, but doesn’t seem to be blade as we knew them in 2.

I’m gonna say it now: NOTHING BETTER HAPPEN TO TAION!! Allusions to Jin are just Luxin’s imagination! 😭

24:40 wow what a tongue twister “Sena and lanz instead of lanz and sena”

I have the theory that in the place where the sword go though is the location they hide the true body of all charater. They can tranfer the clone memory to the real body ( that also the only way to save Mio)

I think the guy that says "it is fate, and none have managed to escape" is Noah, or at least, related to him in some way. If the clone theory is true, that guy might be Noah's original self. His voice, eye and hair colour + the sickly skin are similar to what Noah has. I don't think it's a coincidence

LUXIN THIS WAS SO GREAT THANKS!! :) :D :) :) :D

It's very fun to watch his reactions years after the game has come out...

Pretty sure the guy 7:14 is Noah, or a clone of Noah. Same long black hair, Same skintone, similar voice, same blue eyes

This is actually very similar to the original.script of FFX, where everyone died at 17 or something, as a theme of shared tragedy.

YO! Something this trailer doesn't tell you but is confirmed on the Switch's News tab is how Aionios is OPEN-WORLD! This is a huge selling point that the localization teams left out.

22:28 I just noticed that there are at least 6 classes covered up by the class skill & arts popup , which raises the number of known classes in the game to 23 , and at least 25 with the DLC

We finally got to see the six Noahs!

I love Riku’s voice. Xenoblade 2 just made me wanna punt Tora every time I heard him…

Yet more comments without watching to feed the all consuming god that is the algorithm

20:34 Haven't heard that in a long time

If I'm right and I can easily see Noah being used as a vassel, plus the clones and this being the current cycle brings xenoblade X to my mind and this isn't the first time.

we’ve seen alot but there’s obviously WAY more we haven’t seen and that’s what has me really hyped

Can't wait to play dress up and make all the characters look good 😍

Yup, sure is a Xenoblade game. Hope it does well, Monolithsoft deserve more recognition

I think a lot (and I mean a LOT) of this might have to do with Vandham, it's kinda obvious that he's gonna be important to the story but I think he's more than just what he is in Xenoblade 2, heck he's even in X but I dunno how he connects to that story since I've barely played X that much. Also at 22:39 imagine Juju actually being one of the heroes (I better not be having a Monado in my pocket for this one)

20:35 WAIT WHAT THE FUCK LUXIN WAS A PLUSSY THE WHOLE TIME

Can't wait for the feature length movie trilogy analysis video.

I don't wanna be that guy this video's volume is shocking low compared to the website. This video is at -18 dB lower than the maximum for KZfaq while your others are around -9 dB (which is still pretty low sometimes). Perhaps you could consider boosting it up a bit?

Pyras sword can be seen on the expansion pass screen I’m pretty sure everyone caught onto that though

Spoilers bellow Found out the wild gang is called moebius due to checking the image file name. Wasn’t able to see Ethel’s and Cammuravi’s file names due to them not being present in the public Google inspect code. Was however able to see the Queens’ file names. Saw Cammuravi in class selection. Also blurred hero in trailer. It’s highly likely that Ethel and Cammuravi joins the party as heroes. Also hero file names were just hero1 and such. Same with the other characters. Edit: vandham’s file name is City1 Also new hero’s in expansion pass is guaranteed to be Shulk and Rex (possibly Pyra and Mythra)

Man I just came here for the Xenoblade reaction, I got massive whiplash upon hearing Minecraft; the way home. Literally what year is it

26:45 who is the purple haired woman I'm curious

11 more days untill the release! I am hyped for Cuggaconroy's playthrough! 300 episodes maybe?

"Minecraft; the way home" Oh god where am I

Are we going to have another shulk being a meat puppet situation. Glad it didn't look too spoilery to me

14:54 This looks like an island on eryth sea where you fight a unique monster telethia

Green haired kid behind Eunie at 8:16 is the kid at 6:26

I'm glad they changed the icons for smash and launch because on my first playthrough of xc2 I couldn't tell the difference

I mean the first game took place over like about 2 weeks

So glad you also thought of Minecraft; the way home as soon as you saw that art lol

So let me guess. 3 hour analysis? At least?

7:15 He kind of looks like Noah. Perhaps it’ll be like a Shulk/Zanza thing.

15:01 Urayan Tunnels

"silver surfer" Virtual-on or SRW's Huckebein Boxer might be a better references, but there are a few other mecha anime like Eureka Seven that this might be referencing. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mLNnpbGAldCYpGg.html kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jsWmjM1quti1j3k.html

Been waiting for this

You see it works, but just like instantly switching of character instead of some animations for visual cues!🤣

Nice to see your a fellow Alpharad Plus enjoyer

Calling it now, Swordmarch is Neo Prison Island x New Garfont.

6:57 SPOILERS I like how both of those questions can kinda be answered with the same answer: M

I wonder why it looks like Noah can't go into Lanz's or Sena's classes

Watch as how they reveal this to be connected to X in some way in the story.

I Hope Lanz's Sword turning into a turret will be present into gameplay, that way he should be more interesting to play.

Can’t wait until the 40 hour analysis

too much hype to deal with, i predicted extra ouroboros forms and dlc so im happy and hyped

Mio's interlink looks like Kos-mos Luxin, wake the hell up :P

Mio's Ouroborus looks like Kos-Mos

The mask dude will be a Noah old clone that break free from the flow or something

It's a wild ride this passage of fate. Also like and comment.

Good luck!!

They really just said “we’re making a xenoblade x game but not continuing the story so we can keep the 7 year cliffhanger”
