    So basically:
    Two admins accidentally delete the universe. They forgot to make a backup of the old one so now they have to reinstall it and then one of them fears that the userbase will get bored and move on to something else. Because he fears that his universe will become irrelevant, he wants to keep going back to snapshots in an infinite cycle, but the other admin doesn't like that because it'll just ruin the users progress. In that disagreement, the one admin becomes evil and deletes the other admin's account and then you hack into the system and delete his account, too and then you become the super admin and reinstall the universe again but the post game reveals that you forgot to install an antivirus so a virus starts spreading and you have to spend another couple hours to clean up the system.

    I think the implication with the forest on the back is that the mass of the Bionis is so great that it creates enough of a gravitational pull to keep everything from falling down into the vast ocean. That's my guess, at least.

    Best part about this video is that I’ve put in over 500 hours total on XC/XC3D/XCDF and till this day the plot never fails to earn my empathy and respect. The gameplay is so rewarding. It’s like the more you play the more you learn, in turn the more time you want to put into making your party stronger and thus envelopes a whole videogame experience. The music is a plus. The characters are vanilla and easy to pick a favorite with how polarizing each one is, in gameplay and archetype. Such a great video, and an ever so great videogame

      @@MrToonlink53 I made this post before I watched the video. After watching it I was conflicted. I mean... he's right, but the way he portrayed everything was in such a negative light. Like the Mechon being humans was a decent surprise, but you can guess it. Dickson is obviously up to something, so thats fine. But guessing that Fiora was in the Mechon and that Mumkhar was still alive was a pretty big guess. Not to mention he skipped several scenes that make the developments seem more thought out, like the scenes that happen at the end of certain chapters showcssing what the Mechon are doing. I can't get mad at it because if he went over everything it'd be way too long of a video for his liking/audience. Its like the opposite of his FF9 video, which is a game I find vastly inferior to Xenoblade for pacing and plot reasons. So... I'm a bit salty.
      It kinda seems like he 100% the game on his first playthrough, and hated the grind and the story suffered because of it.

    regarding what a "xenoblade" is, the game was supposed to be called monado: beginning of the world, but the creator had previous success with series named xeno, so they decided to use that instead

    • @fofo-ms6ck
      @fofo-ms6ck Před 2 lety +71

      A "Xenoblade" literally means foreign sword: Xeno meaning "foreign", blade meaning "sword"

    • @atpyro7920
      @atpyro7920 Před 2 lety +40

      Also, the Xenoblade games are (very) loosely connected to Xenosaga and Xenogears

    • @coldtyrant2557
      @coldtyrant2557 Před 2 lety +31

      Another thing id like to add to this:
      Xenoblade changes meaning depending on the game, Xenoblade in 1 is refering to the Monado, it’s a Foreign/Alien blade, aka the titular Xeno Blade, in XCX (spoilers)
      Elma is revealed to be an alien, a Xeno, and is a member of BLADE, so she is the game’s Xeno BLADE, while in 2, Pyra/Mythra and by extension Malos are special blades, different from all other by nature of being part of the trinity processor, they’re different/foreign Blades, so, they’re the Xeno Blades
