I love how Nikol inherited his father’s interest in machines, but also his mother’s kindness. Think about how Fiora sacrificed herself for Colony 9 and her desire to help Meyneth without really knowing her and then compare it to Nikol going in to save Glimmer without a second thought, despite fighting to the death earlier, before Rex coming in. Shulk (XB1) wouldn’t save someone he fought against previously - not without a second thought. That was all Fiora. ❤️ Also, I need to see the two of them geek out over weapons and machines more. They’re just too precious together. ❤❤❤
Man… to see it all come full circle. Monolith soft really outdid themselves. I’m an avid rpg player and enthusiast and can only think of a handful that truly touched my heart. This game is one of them
@@natsuvegavods One of the FR sidequests gives us all the information we're likely to ever get. Spoilers: Riku's masterpon (who created Lucky Seven) was Melia and his father was one of her travelling companions. Some people have taken this to mean Kino, but I don't think the time scale works out for that (Riki was 40 in 1 and most of his kids were still pretty young, then a year later Kino was still roughly adolescent, so I don't think he could have grown up enough to have a kid of his own and then also have that kid grow to adulthood), so my interpretation is that Riku is the son of the legendary heropon himself. Presumably, that means he wasn't among those that were assimilated by Origin when it activated, meaning he just persists as he was at the time of activation. That doesn't explain why he was so surprised by the baby in that one chapter 5 scene, since in theory he should have already known about human reproduction from before Origin and his time with the Liberators, but it may have been the first one he'd seen in several hundred years, so I can accept that he'd just forgotten how exciting it was.
@@dudeguy2330 oh yeah, the baby is the biggest incongruency with base game riku, surely that's the thing to get hooked on. it's not like the dude straight up knew who N was the whole time, didn't tell anyone, and then pretended to be shocked in chapter 5 or anything
I like the idea that RIku and Shulk removed that part just to see if Nikol would figure it out. I don't know if its true, but thats the idea I got when Shulk and Riku looked at each other.
This dlc really close everything nicely. It'll be sad knowing that their story is probably over but cant wait for the future of this series. Hope to one day come back to playing the first 3!
@@natsuvegavods Oh yeah, i just finished my playthrough for Xenoblade one, now the dlc future connected, after that ill start with torna for the third time :D but damn the scene of Rex's entrance was so Epic in XC3|FR, just the same pose as Rex got Pneuma in XC2 i was like "NOOOOOOOOO WAY"
such an amazing dlc. Im glad i decided to wait to play the main game because i played them right before the dlc came out. I also got the chance to replace xenoblade 1 and 2 last year and let appreciate more of the moments in the dlc.
There is a heart to heart in the original xenoblade where Riki adopts Shulk and into his family. His if Riku really is Riki’s son as implied, this is a father and uncle watching their son and nephew.
Because they wouldn’t have understood what they were talking about. For example, in the main game Noah and the rest of Ouroboros were fascinated by babies and the concept of parenthood because they had never seen or heard of it before. Kevesi and Agnian soldiers are bred for war, and live for ten years (if they’re lucky). They don’t even understand the concept of farming, let alone parenthood and how babies are made. They wouldn’t have understood the phrase “I’m your father”.
right i think the same, plus didnt think itd be right since they are stuck in the endless now and it would just be forgotten. and seeing how later they said they didnt know they would feel so proud seeing them grow up AGAIN, must mean that there real bodies are somewhere not that any of that much matters since what happens at the end of the game hahahahaha. cant wait for the next game!
To add on, Z is brown nosing everything right now. Wouldn't do good to talk secrets when Z is literally breathing down everyone's neck, which is also why we couldn't see Nia in this.
The few times where he is really feeling it, truly
🤧🤧🤧 it’s probably what keeps him going for now.
He sees alot of Fiora and himself in his Son thats so adorable
🤧🤧🤧🤧🤧🤧 it made my heart melt all those years ago and now again.

🤧😭 right in the feels

@@NaviNeku24shulk saved mumkar before dunban could kill him .-.
Looks like a look of comfort, very wholesome!
IT WAS, MY HEART WAS MELTING ;-;
Shulk and parenthood:
I'm really feeling it
🤧🤧🤧🤧🤧 Rex and shulk have become such great fathers. Wish I could have seen them after their games and then before this
Man… to see it all come full circle. Monolith soft really outdid themselves. I’m an avid rpg player and enthusiast and can only think of a handful that truly touched my heart. This game is one of them
I really love this dlc and seeing all the connections like Rex’s dream and how it all started from xenoblade 1 and to come to this 🤧🤧🤧🤧🤧🤧🤧🤧🤧🤧
The title should be "The way Shulk looks at Fiora and Nikol and Riku".
HAHAHAHAHA, I was thinking that when I ended it there. But they had a bit of a different smile lol. Riku is just a common variety nopon!
Why Riku last?
"Son, we are resigned to being tanks suffering from "ally double-spinning-edge-itus"...but I know we can get through this."
hahahaha oh thats right, they are both tanks. Maybe if he wasnt half UN ARMED, he could have also been offense!
This video made me cry, that way shulk looked at riku
🤧🤧🤧
I love how Riku and Shulk look at each other and smile knowingly.
BUT WHAT DOES RIKU KNOW, hes just a common variety nopon hahahahaha. we need a riku dlc! WHO IS HE!

@@lapotato9140 seething?
Riku is known to NOT be a common variety nopon, he's probably Takahashi in Nopon form.
@@lapotato9140 Knowing him, he was likely playing along so as not to stand too much out from the others. He likes to keep away those prying eyes.
HIS EYES ARE SO SOFT, I CANNOT 😭😭😭
;-; it tugged at my heart
OMG he is so proud!! I loved this interaction and also Glimer and Rex's interaction was amazing!
YESSSSSSSSSSSSS, added another video of rexs dream and added his interaction with glimmer in there >_
Ah yes, the smile of a proud father(who's really feelin' it)...that brings warmth to one's heart.
He may not really be feeling it anymore but he does for his child still 🤧🤧🤧🤧🤧
I like the idea that RIku and Shulk removed that part just to see if Nikol would figure it out. I don't know if its true, but thats the idea I got when Shulk and Riku looked at each other.
AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW thats a sweet idea is now what i believe!
im crying
I CRIED WHILE MAKING IT
i just love the love for detail and for the fanbase monolith put into xenoblade series

When i see this videos i am sure Riku is the conduit himself
MAYBE
Couple that with Adam being oddly soft spoken with this version of Shulk
Yeah i see it! guess it comes with age and experience in life!
this dlc made me cry harder than i have ever cried in my life

Riku just common variety nopon
just waiting for the day where a nopon is the mc! maybe riku will be in the next game!?!!!!!?!??!

awwwwwwwww ;-; i think i missed that one, didnt get the chance to do to many....
Shulk is a walking green flag
AS HE SHOULD
I don't understand... why didn't he and rex tell them...
