Shulk's battle screams no longer sound full of anger. Since his quest is over, he's a lot more collected in battle and ir shows in his yelling. Cool detail.
@@darthdistortion1934 true, in fairness those worlds only share the connection with Zanza, how the world is like that and Alvis, all of the conditions and links are now gone, so they're now separated. But there's the shulk and fiora in the DLC of Xenoblade chronicles 2. So no clue now.
It’s pretty wholesome to see all npc to celebrate when they come back specially to see Bana and even more if you finished his side quest in the main game and FC.
I, as a newcomer to Xenoblade and this being my first game, I have to say that I loved Future Connected, happy they gave Tyrea character development as I saw potential on her in that one quest in the main game's late game, would've loved to have her as a playable character, but oh well...
Her side quest is actually one of the very few if not the only one with unique interaction and affinity stuff, something very common in XC2, so maybe that side quest was tested in the original game and later greatly expanded in the sequel for the blades.
A Telethia flew into the rift the Fog King created... the Fog King sounds a lot like the "Black Tar" in XCX's battle theme, and there's a Telethia that appears in X that is acknowledged as something not native to Mira and came from, "a world filled with ocean". Hmmm....
@@apollyonnoctis1291 So, in theory, the three worlds from DE, XC2 and XCX will combine? That would be bonkers. There's a Telethia in XCX iirc but the story in that game is in another planet, so I don't know. The Fog King is a mystery for me but I wouldn't be surprised if XC3 is related to some of these rifts.
A little late here but I’m pretty sure the fog king’s whole body correlated to the Infernal Guldo from XC2 (the corrupted body of Galea) so that tie in somehow too
POOR MELIA! I know it was stupid to expect some romantic thing to happen between Shulk and Melia, but I'd rather Shulk end up with her rather than Fiora.
I’m beginning to think I’m the only one who notices this, but it wouldn’t be out of the realm of possibilities for Shulk to end up with both Fiora and Melia
Might not entirely be over. We never learned the full cause of the Rifts, all the protagonists could do was guess and the Quiet Moment just before the final boss has Melia express concern that even should the Fog King be defeated, this might only be the beginning (or something to that effect, I dont remember the exact words). Basically, I think Futures Connected was foreshadowing that if we get a Xenoblade Chronicles 3 there is a good chance that we will be going hoping between worlds, including those of XB1 and XB2.
Well, Melia was worried. Despite Shulk telling her 'this world is safe...finally' she's thinking about the origin of the Fog King. She has grown a lot in that year, crowned as Empress at the end. I wouldn't be surprised if in XC3 the rifts are better explained.
Actually it wasn’t Shulk that fixed Fiora There’s a deleted scene where I’m not sure if they ever added it to the addition but they found a machine that would basically rewrite the missing parts of her body from her DNA and data she had to sleep for a year to fix her body is some kind of remaking pod
@@starvoltnexus3139 This is so odd, like, Shulk can "recreate" the whole world since he gets godly powers (That he loses by the end) but he can't fix Dunban's arm nor revert Fiora back to normal? wtf?
I thought Zanza somehow survived and was returning to create his new world.Because of his theme playing during this cutscene and when you were in Alchomoth.
Consider this. In the trailer for Xenoblade Chronicles 3, the party looks like Fog Beast to everyone. So what does the Fog King look like underneath all that miasma? Perhaps something like a particularly powerful Ouroboros?
I just finished this today but....what was the fog king and the rift? It wasnt explained nor explored at all. Why did said fog affect and transform normal monsters into fog creatures? Do you guys think that this whole thing will somehow be the focus of the new xenoblade chronicles?
There are theory’s that the fog king is basically a Gnosis from Xenosaga. Gnosis are intangible beings like the fog king and they come in all different shapes and sizes. The fog affect the fog king did to the other monsters is similar to a process called gnosisfication where you turn into a gnosis.
is it bad that when i played this I never actually realized that it was Beyond the Sky in the background. Don't get me wrong when I heard it at the end of the actual game I cried like a baby, but for FC I never processed that it was the same song. I guess it being acoustic and no lyrics through me off. But now that I know that it is the same song I am realizing that this is truly one of the greatest songs i have ever heard in a video game. So beautiful!
Hmm... The Fog King's model... Is the Infernal Guldo's... While it COULD be reusing assets, that's... A VERY specific model to handpick for usage... Something's amiss here...
Yeah, I don’t think it’s a coincidence... They could have used ANY model, but instead, from a different game entirely? Kinda suspicious if you ask me, considering that they remastered all the models in Definitive Edition anyway. And, don’t tell me that a model of a bunch of clumped up colors can take up too much space in a game’s files.
yeah... i wouldn't be surprised if Takanashi is gonna finish what he started with Xenogears and Xenosaga and this turns out to be a Gnosis or at least the spiritual successor of the concept. The man's been screwed over by Square and Bamco and Nintendo KNOWS how good a writer and dev he is (they bought monolift soft after all) and XB2 could be considered a rather loose retelling of Xenogears so I can see the Fog King being whatever winds up being the XB equal of a Gnosis. I doubt that the used the Infernal Guldo's model out of laziness or anything like that. could be foreshadowing of what's to come for the series, specifically bringing in sort of Xenosaga elements. The man's been stymied enough by corporate idiocy regarding the Xeno Series before Xenoblade 1, he deserves to at least FINALLY finish what he started with Xenogears and Xenosaga!
So, don't say if this guy is explained during the story of this expansion... because I just so happened to see this before getting the game... however, I have a theory that this guy will be important in a future game in the series... not sure if anyone else agrees, but that's what I think.
Okay I know at this point, most of us have played the game,(Don't read this if you haven't), but honestly, definitive edition main game with the improvements that it has is fantastic, and while it doesn't fix all the issues, the issues that it does fix are great and honestly, this version of the game is the best one to date because of it, but future connected, it subjective to say the least, on one hand it great to see an area that was cut from the original game get put into full effect big time, back in the game like this, and the plotline for future connected is very interesting, but 1. Some storyline stuff in future connected feels short, like there an story with an interesting premise, but it feels not executed properly, like Gal'gar dude, shows up for 3 or 4 cutscenes(it one of these numbers sorry I'm not exact because I don't remember the actual count right now) and then never shows up again, especially since it felt like he had potential, and all the issues with the gran Dell people and the high entia guards also feels like it goes by and gets resolved too quickly without build up, and that can be most of the story of future connected summed up honestly, 2. The gameplay, the changes that it made did initially made the game more challenging at the start, but fall flat on it face with the main campaign with all the unique monsters all over the place, not to mention that the balance of having all the ponpectors was clearly overlooked as having all of them makes their damage output break the game, even the hardest fights in future connected don't stand a chance against them, and battles that are supposed to be hard becomes way too easy because of it, and that leads to the final reason number 3. It great to see cut content for sure, but it definitely wasn't meant for an epilogue game/story as everything feels way too short, and getting everything is not really hard when the area itself is one of the shortest areas period despite the scope and size, it not bad at all, but it not meant for an epilogue game on it own merits that for sure, now if you managed to read the entire comment up to this point, you may think I don't like or hate future connected, and no I don't hate it, I think future connected is good, but that really about it, I know because of everything that happening right now might be the reason why future connected is what it is, but they still choose to released it to us regardless, so I'm not talking and playing what could of been, I'm talking and playing future connected as it is that being sold to all of us, and while it is good, it definitely feels like missed potential, I wasn't expecting a full game to be fair, but yeah it could of been better, future connected is worth one playtrough and that pretty much it, the main game of Xenoblade Chronicles Definitive Edition is worth way more than Future Connected, again it good it ain't bad, but it not great either
@@Implosion-Gaming nope if you're comparing it to the main game, but it does make sense to a degree, like the og post said some thing's are resolved to quickly and not shown the full context, finishing gael ger story in side story also is a iffy choice, heck the fog king stuff there wasn't really much explanation to it.
The reused tracks used in the wrong places like Zanza the Divine and Engage the Enemy really made it feel unpolished. I still like it, but I feel it should have been released later as DLC so it could be more polished.
@Jeff It's somehow logic how the both worls connect with each other ( if they are doing it ). So after Shulk wanted to create a new universe without a god...alvis/ontos decided to bring all the living creatures and parts of the bionis ton"new alrest". Since Klaus died ( if he did ), the universe of Rex "lives" without a god... The Aegis'are at the end super computers ( I think )...so Alvis just took the IP adress of Klaus' universe and brought the data ( Bionis , Shulk etc. ) to Alrest, if this works... So a Xenoblade 3 could take place in a "new Alrest" with Rex, Shulk and the other people
Mark my Words: *XC3 is gonna be a prequel to the entire franchise* Just think about it! Are they just gonna continue in the XC1 universe? Or the second? And probaly ruin them? ORRRR, are they going to give us a prequel and go more into detail on this "Saviorite Rebels" that were mentioned in XC2? And the ongoing war at that time. More of Klaus and Meyneth! Explore the land of Morytha before it was destroyed by war and Klaus! I'm predicting that XC3 will be the story of the events leading to Klaus' actions.. And a reveal of a 3RD alternate reality of when Klaus was STOPPED! What if there was a 3rd universe? WHAT IF Klaus made 3? The 3rd one being an exact copy of the original. The ONLY difference was, Klaus disappeared from THAT universe, and was in the other 2? An alternate reality where KLAUS DID NOT DESTROY EVERYTHING! But instead, sent himself and Meyneth to the other 2! And bcuz Klaus FUCKED with the universe in the 3rd one, PURPLE ALIENS GOT MAD AND CAME TO WIPE OUT HUMANITY AND DESTROYED EARTH. The beginning of XENOBLADE X! And XC3 CONNECTING XCX TO THE MAIN FRANCHISE! I remember in the XCX opening cutscene mentioning an invasion they saw coming and prepared colony ships ready to leave Earth. It was bcuz of Klaus' experiments! The "Saviorite Rebels trying to stop him, know the consequences! He tampered with that Meta Universe Manifold thing (Disappeared along with Meyneth into the other 2 universes) and the Aliens didn't appreiciate that and came to wipe out humanity and destroy the planet. XC3 ends where XCX begins! That'd mean XCX happened *A long time ago in a Universe far, far away* ITS PERFECT!! Note: I haven't played the XCX. I only saw the beginning cutscene. Which is why I made this theory. And pls don't spoil. Just tell me if the aliens had other reasons or whatever. And don't say why. I'm waiting for X to come to NS But this is ALL just a theory. A GAME Theory
@@cqllel5186 the aliens had other reasons and that wouldnt make sense since xb2 earth was destroyed and became alrest . In xcx the earth is in the state similar to before klaus' experiment so that theory makes no sense.
If they do, I'm hoping it's the same art style for all characters, I really didn't like XC2's approach of basically being a manga artist compilation, it looked incredibly offputting.
@Is really toasty here I really doubt that Guldo was Galea as for some as important as her to Klaus they wouldn’t really unceremoniously kill her other half off if she did. I’m pretty sure they’re just reusing models.
@@N120Xeno nope. The infernal guldo was Galea. When the gang finishes it off the cutscene shows that it leaves behind an ID card. Galea's ID card to be exact. You can even see her face. So either its her, or it ate her
@@shadowdragun again I’m pretty sure that’s just reusing assets because as someone as important as Galea I don’t think they would unceremoniously kill her other half off (if she did have another half) as a throw away boss. Also why would she be in Morytha when we last saw her at the 1st low orbit space station. To me it just makes no sense.
@@N120Xeno eho knows. Maybe she was thrown down there with the rest of the humans that got turned into guldos. And again, it did frop her ID card. How do you think it could have gotten it if it wasnt her? Besides, if we're throwing parallels here the time Rex's froup fight infernal gukdo should be around the same time Zanza kills meyneth in Xenoblade 1. And since they are both happening at the same time...would make sense. She just wasnt as lucky as in the first game. Her soul was turned into a goddess. Her body into a monster. Its dramatic irony really
I don't know if anyone's clicked yet... BUT THE FOG KING IS A FUCKING GULDO. Look at it's animations and gait closely. It's identical to one of the giant malformed Guldos like Relic-Holder Tyrannor or the Infernal Guldo at the end of Chapter 8. When it uses Mist Charge, its the same animation that it uses for Elemental Copy in Xenoblade 2. And look at how it's chest flashes when it uses Internal Burst. Its the same animation for Elemental Bomb. This brings in so many new questions with no answer. How did Guldos get here in the first place? What's with the black and red fog covering them? Where does this sit in the timeline of Xenoblade 2? Will we see Rex and the others again, potentially in a continuation/unification story for the two Xenoblade games? (X doesn't count, it's almost certainly non-canon). The list goes on. When these questions will be answered, no-one knows. But Monolith won't leave this story unfinished.
X is balling. They got the Telethia from the rift. Tainted look and function like fog beasts. AKA, normal wildlife possessed by a blast mist with glowing fiery eyes. Different universe, but connected world.
@@lewisspring35 Xenoblade 2 DLC and Smash interactions are not canon. But the Telethia in XCX is canonically from XC1, and Future Connected is likely how and when it goes over to Mira. It also explains why it feeds on Tainted/Fogbeasts and ignores humans. Having a Telethia randomly feed on enemies that act and look EXACTLY like Fog Beasts is likely a clear indication that there is a connection. While I don't see a direct crossover coming, I absolutely expect the events of all three games to influence each other like Xenoblade 1 and 2. Remember Fog King is a Guldo from Xenoblade 2 and they were subtle about that.
It's possible that when the worlds was beginning to separate there was a rift in the two causing Guldo to come through with the connection of the rift causing a respawn point for him.
More like the initial points of contact between the dimensions. Alpha was likely involved in sending stuff through, though. Remember, once he left Bionis, he reverted to a much more robotic personality and his conscience was buried.
They mention Fog beasts in one of the affinity scenes in Future Redeemed saying that they're coming from the black fog indicating signs of a strained world. A also says that they later became Alpha's servants after he took over. I feel like the Fog King wasn't supposed to be a major enemy in the grand scheme of things. Feels more like it was a strong variant and due to their limited knowledge on the rift and everything they assumed it was the cause of it all. Back when Future Connected came out they teased it would give details for the future of Xenoblade. The rifts and fog beasts could have been first cracks in the XC1 world as it began it's attempts to merge with XC2 world.
If they come from the black fog, and the black fog is the first sign of a potential annihilation event, and an annihilation event is the result from the two different matters of both worlds not mixing together well, and the fog beasts tend to look like regular monsters, it seems to me that fog beasts are just regular monsters or any beings for that matter that has had very long exposure to the black fog, and are thus infected by it as if it's a disease. They often look like normal monsters, but only seem to appear around black fog, so I think that makes sense.
It’s basically a projection of an infernal guldo like the one from the Xenoblade 2 that you have to fight in Morytha. The fog rifts are basically a result of the two worlds (Shulk’s world and Rex’s world) intersecting with each other. This intersection/merger of both worlds is what leads to the discovery of the annihilation events revealed in X3 and the reason why Origin was created to allow people to survive the major annihilation events in the merger. The latest Xenoblade 3 artbook revealed this info about the fog king being a guldo
Probably cause being missing for days if not weeks for what was supposed to be a half a day trip was probably distressing, you know, considering they are a couple. Like the "do you know how worried i was" kinda mad.
Shulk is cool and all but what can he do once Rex starts spamming Double Spinning Edge with a maxed out Mythra? He'll just take the punishment and die!
You should have used the Union Strike when your Party Gauge is full as it would inflicted alot of damage against the Fog King. Also, you could have raised the Level of each party member to at least Level 80 before fighting the Fog King as it would make the battle against it easier. The Fog King's Level is 78, so the higher the party's average Level, the better chance you would defeat it.
Wii is the original, Wii U is available in the e shop, 3DS is an import with a few features that is only exclusive & Switch is a HD remaster with exclusive contents with this epilogue being one of them.
Zanza the Divine plays for phase one in general, but the second phase has a unique theme. Why they picked Zanza the Divine for phase one, I will never know. But holy shit it is the poster child of weird choices of music in games.
What is with Melia showing more skin in Future Connected than in the main game? Even for an imperial princess, her dress seems very immodest and contrary to her formal image.
It’s highly suspected to be an Infernal Guldo from Xenoblade Chronicles 2, but still, whatever the hell the thing was is still very much unknown, and just the topic itself can still very well continue to be speculated upon.
@@dogze6744 no no no no no. this is only in the definitive edition RIGHT? i have played through the game 7 total times. i swear if i somehow missed this.
nimrod films I mean... yeah, it’s only in the Definitive Edition. How can you miss it? It’s literally labeled as “Extra Story” at the bottom of the screen? You know, where all the other buttons are?
It's actually a Guldo from Xenoblade Chronicles 2. I seriously wish they went into more detail about WHY a Guldo found its way to Shulk's universe, though...
After finishing this, I have to say I was disappointed. I love the material between Melia and Tyrea, and the cutscenes and music were gorgeous, but the story left SO much to be desired. The gameplay was still solid, but no skill trees/links or affinity made things way more frustrating than it should’ve been. The final boss was a complete joke, even compared to Zanza, and the primary antagonists are never really explained (with one being concluded in a side quest, of all things). This just really felt rushed, and it’s incredibly underwhelming, especially considering they did this same thing much better with Torna.
Torna got more time and funding than this. I think it's meant to hint at a sequel. The final boss didnt much act like a final boss but more or less like a minion. I wouldnt be surprised if the next game had the main characters fight a mob of them at once.
Well that is actually due to a lot of work that was done on Torna even while making 2, also they worked on it for 8 months after completion of 2. Also an interesting tidbit for you. They said they have been working on a new game while they worked on the definitive edition. So Future Connected was mostly something made to finish up Melia's story while keeping the world going for possible linking to the other games. So I am super excited to see what they have been working on now.
I personally did not like the use of Music in this Last Boss at all :/ It’s so weird to hear the Main Theme in this Fight because it doesn’t fit the Atmosphere at all
The fact they used Zanza the Divine for the first phase is the textbook definition of strange reuse of music. It’s like if One Winged Angel played at the end of FFVIIR: Intermission or Unwavering Belief playing at the end of The Kaito Files.
And yeah, hearing the main theme in the post-fight cutscene is so weird feeling. Like you said, it doesn’t fit the atmosphere of the final boss at all. Engage the Enemy felt weird too since it’s reserved for tragic moments in the story, but here it’s used for a HUGE WIN for the gang. It would have been better if they reused Counterattack instead, even if it’s from a different game.
Shulk is so weak man. If that was Rex he'll just keep spamming rolling smash and double spinning edge and then he goes Aegis third form and whoop the boss' ass some more.
I had a lot of fun exploring the Shoulder and reclaiming the capital for the High Entea, but the ending was pretty bad. No explanation on what caused the Rift, Gal'gar dying off screen, no hint for XC 3, Fiora barely in it. You stop one Rift, but without knowing what caused it (other than Shulk saying it's cause this new world is still in it's infancy), there's no reason why more Rifts won't open in the future in the world of XC1. Melia even says the Rift gave her a foreboding feeling for the future of their world. Oh yeah, and the resolution of the game in handheld mode looked awful most of the time, just like in Torna the final battle was hard to see at times. I don't get why they felt the need to have TWELVE nopons following you around at all times, knowing full well they have a hard time getting the Switch to perform well enough to avoid drops in frames and resolution during hectic fights. It shows the dev team isn't learning from their mistakes and they just assume fans will put up with their unoptimized crap.
The final boss is a Guldo from Xenoblade Chronicles 2. Y’know, The brings that originate from humans underneath the cloud sea? From the looks of it, while this is a prequel... This might be a hint to the events of Xenoblade Chronicles 3 whenever it comes out.
Future Connected had a terrible dub, just like 2 did (mostly, lots of standouts in that game), so I'm a little concerned for 3. Coleman just didn't try in the slightest to sound like her younger self, which is obviously understandable, but that's more due to the fact that she was horribly directed. Shulk and Riki's children are bad, too. If Nintendo of Europe gets to continue translating Monolith Soft productions going forward, I hope they can find people who care more about the job and of course provide them with their needs.
I honestly agree. While I do believe Coleman had some really good line deliveries here, she didn’t sound much like Melia at all. Although the voices for 3 sound pretty good so far from the trailers (at least, in my opinion)
Shulk's battle screams no longer sound full of anger. Since his quest is over, he's a lot more collected in battle and ir shows in his yelling. Cool detail.
heres another thing thats really interesting, Shulk's new Replica Monado actually looks like an Aegis Sword, specifically Pyra's
It's even called the Monado REX in its flavor text XD
@@DarthLocutus0 hmmm, suspicious

Her side quest is actually one of the very few if not the only one with unique interaction and affinity stuff, something very common in XC2, so maybe that side quest was tested in the original game and later greatly expanded in the sequel for the blades.
i really don't understand why they didn't make her playable, i could see them easily reskinning the seventh party member's arts as her own.
melia and tyrea give such lesbian vibes
As somebody who played the original Xenoblade on Wii a decade ago, this additional story was an absolute godsend.
A Telethia flew into the rift the Fog King created... the Fog King sounds a lot like the "Black Tar" in XCX's battle theme, and there's a Telethia that appears in X that is acknowledged as something not native to Mira and came from, "a world filled with ocean".
Hmmm....

It all makes sense now as to why it started with Zanza’s theme.
Shulk really embracing the kinda God status, these cutscenes are so much more higher quality than the base game.
Yeah, just like with XC2 and Torna ~ TGC. The cutscenes in Torna ~ TGC were alot more "polished" than the main game.
@@dogze6744 Probably because they were made from scratch. All they did for the base game was update the models and textures.
I think Shulk is just that athletic at this point and trained he did give up the god status if were going by in universe explinations
Both Melia and Shulk are a lot more physical active in the epilogue then they were in the main game.
Come back here after watching the Xeno 3 trailer, can't wait to see how it all ties in together
17:33 Somethings never change.
While creating a new world, Shulk fixed Fiora's body...
Dunban's arm is still paralyzed.
Shulk...come on...
yeah shulk wtf
Maybe he knew Dunban had gotten used to that arm being missing.
The Catman and friends Shulk didn’t fix Fioras body it was the High Entia regeneration chamber
Actually it wasn’t Shulk that fixed Fiora There’s a deleted scene where I’m not sure if they ever added it to the addition but they found a machine that would basically rewrite the missing parts of her body from her DNA and data she had to sleep for a year to fix her body is some kind of remaking pod
@@starvoltnexus3139 This is so odd, like, Shulk can "recreate" the whole world since he gets godly powers (That he loses by the end) but he can't fix Dunban's arm nor revert Fiora back to normal? wtf?
Melia deserved that ending
I thought Zanza somehow survived and was returning to create his new world.Because of his theme playing during this cutscene and when you were in Alchomoth.
I was expecting something more epic, like this...
it was the same music playing when you walked in space before the Zanza fight
nah they just wanted to play his theme again cause it's fucking great
00:28 That scene is so good
11:49 Nene being a worthy Reign's successor by doing the exact same thing he does in every major cinematic.
Consider this. In the trailer for Xenoblade Chronicles 3, the party looks like Fog Beast to everyone. So what does the Fog King look like underneath all that miasma? Perhaps something like a particularly powerful Ouroboros?
Hhhmmm.
It's the internal Guldo
1:10 Dang... Melia's walk cycle makes me feels things... whoo.
I just finished this today but....what was the fog king and the rift? It wasnt explained nor explored at all. Why did said fog affect and transform normal monsters into fog creatures?
Do you guys think that this whole thing will somehow be the focus of the new xenoblade chronicles?
There are theory’s that the fog king is basically a Gnosis from Xenosaga. Gnosis are intangible beings like the fog king and they come in all different shapes and sizes. The fog affect the fog king did to the other monsters is similar to a process called gnosisfication where you turn into a gnosis.
I believe it was the beginning of the two worlds yearning to join as one?
I never realized how badass Melia is as a fighter
Yeah. I just finished Future Connected today, and she is good. I used her quite a bit in the original game too, though.
is it bad that when i played this I never actually realized that it was Beyond the Sky in the background. Don't get me wrong when I heard it at the end of the actual game I cried like a baby, but for FC I never processed that it was the same song. I guess it being acoustic and no lyrics through me off. But now that I know that it is the same song I am realizing that this is truly one of the greatest songs i have ever heard in a video game. So beautiful!
12:38
My man jynxed it.
Anyone know the OST in the beginning? like the one with the vocals just before the gameplay?
It’s called "Zanza the Divine", this is the Definitive Edition version.
Shulk has turned into a proper badass.
I mean, he was already badass in the maingame, the scene where he saves the everyone from the telethia onslaugh after waking up was badass as fuck
Can we talk about how this is the equivalent of a battle against the Gnosis?
Epic
Hmm... The Fog King's model... Is the Infernal Guldo's... While it COULD be reusing assets, that's... A VERY specific model to handpick for usage... Something's amiss here...
Yeah, I don’t think it’s a coincidence...
They could have used ANY model, but instead, from a different game entirely? Kinda suspicious if you ask me, considering that they remastered all the models in Definitive Edition anyway. And, don’t tell me that a model of a bunch of clumped up colors can take up too much space in a game’s files.
yeah... i wouldn't be surprised if Takanashi is gonna finish what he started with Xenogears and Xenosaga and this turns out to be a Gnosis or at least the spiritual successor of the concept. The man's been screwed over by Square and Bamco and Nintendo KNOWS how good a writer and dev he is (they bought monolift soft after all) and XB2 could be considered a rather loose retelling of Xenogears so I can see the Fog King being whatever winds up being the XB equal of a Gnosis. I doubt that the used the Infernal Guldo's model out of laziness or anything like that. could be foreshadowing of what's to come for the series, specifically bringing in sort of Xenosaga elements. The man's been stymied enough by corporate idiocy regarding the Xeno Series before Xenoblade 1, he deserves to at least FINALLY finish what he started with Xenogears and Xenosaga!
So, don't say if this guy is explained during the story of this expansion... because I just so happened to see this before getting the game...
however, I have a theory that this guy will be important in a future game in the series... not sure if anyone else agrees, but that's what I think.
The monolith soft devs said they didn’t have much time to flesh this part of the story out, and they’re hoping to expand on it in future instalments
WHOA!!! Nene is a solid tank in 11:40, I just love this two Nopons.
how do we go from this to the start of XC3?! i just am so perplexed at this point!
The appearance of the rift & the Fog King (i.e. XC2's Infernal Guldo) were the first warning signs that Bionis & Alrest were beginning to merge
I noticed something at the 17:27, LMAO Dumban with the old guys band.
Put a sock in it
Okay I know at this point, most of us have played the game,(Don't read this if you haven't), but honestly, definitive edition main game with the improvements that it has is fantastic, and while it doesn't fix all the issues, the issues that it does fix are great and honestly, this version of the game is the best one to date because of it, but future connected, it subjective to say the least, on one hand it great to see an area that was cut from the original game get put into full effect big time, back in the game like this, and the plotline for future connected is very interesting, but 1. Some storyline stuff in future connected feels short, like there an story with an interesting premise, but it feels not executed properly, like Gal'gar dude, shows up for 3 or 4 cutscenes(it one of these numbers sorry I'm not exact because I don't remember the actual count right now) and then never shows up again, especially since it felt like he had potential, and all the issues with the gran Dell people and the high entia guards also feels like it goes by and gets resolved too quickly without build up, and that can be most of the story of future connected summed up honestly, 2. The gameplay, the changes that it made did initially made the game more challenging at the start, but fall flat on it face with the main campaign with all the unique monsters all over the place, not to mention that the balance of having all the ponpectors was clearly overlooked as having all of them makes their damage output break the game, even the hardest fights in future connected don't stand a chance against them, and battles that are supposed to be hard becomes way too easy because of it, and that leads to the final reason number 3. It great to see cut content for sure, but it definitely wasn't meant for an epilogue game/story as everything feels way too short, and getting everything is not really hard when the area itself is one of the shortest areas period despite the scope and size, it not bad at all, but it not meant for an epilogue game on it own merits that for sure, now if you managed to read the entire comment up to this point, you may think I don't like or hate future connected, and no I don't hate it, I think future connected is good, but that really about it, I know because of everything that happening right now might be the reason why future connected is what it is, but they still choose to released it to us regardless, so I'm not talking and playing what could of been, I'm talking and playing future connected as it is that being sold to all of us, and while it is good, it definitely feels like missed potential, I wasn't expecting a full game to be fair, but yeah it could of been better, future connected is worth one playtrough and that pretty much it, the main game of Xenoblade Chronicles Definitive Edition is worth way more than Future Connected, again it good it ain't bad, but it not great either
gal'gar does show up after the initial fight, hes a side quest.
Gael’gar appears as a boss to the second hardest side quest. It does show what kinda character he was.
Nah FC has better writing.
@@Implosion-Gaming nope if you're comparing it to the main game, but it does make sense to a degree, like the og post said some thing's are resolved to quickly and not shown the full context, finishing gael ger story in side story also is a iffy choice, heck the fog king stuff there wasn't really much explanation to it.
The reused tracks used in the wrong places like Zanza the Divine and Engage the Enemy really made it feel unpolished. I still like it, but I feel it should have been released later as DLC so it could be more polished.
Shulk: this Is the power of THE monado without THE monado
What is the song playing at 12:09 ? I can’t seem to figure it out or find it
It should be “Engage the Enemy”
I did every single sidequest and was level 81 at this battle lool
I wondering is xenoblade chronicles 3 is going focus on rex and shulk sense its connected
@Jeff It's somehow logic how the both worls connect with each other ( if they are doing it ).
So after Shulk wanted to create a new universe without a god...alvis/ontos decided to bring all the living creatures and parts of the bionis ton"new alrest".
Since Klaus died ( if he did ), the universe of Rex "lives" without a god...
The Aegis'are at the end super computers ( I think )...so Alvis just took the IP adress of Klaus' universe and brought the data ( Bionis , Shulk etc. ) to Alrest, if this works...
So a Xenoblade 3 could take place in a "new Alrest" with Rex, Shulk and the other people
They've said, that every Xenoblade game will be featuring it's own story and characters.
Mark my Words: *XC3 is gonna be a prequel to the entire franchise*
Just think about it!
Are they just gonna continue in the XC1 universe? Or the second? And probaly ruin them?
ORRRR, are they going to give us a prequel and go more into detail on this "Saviorite Rebels" that were mentioned in XC2? And the ongoing war at that time. More of Klaus and Meyneth! Explore the land of Morytha before it was destroyed by war and Klaus! I'm predicting that XC3 will be the story of the events leading to Klaus' actions.. And a reveal of a 3RD alternate reality of when Klaus was STOPPED!
What if there was a 3rd universe? WHAT IF Klaus made 3? The 3rd one being an exact copy of the original. The ONLY difference was, Klaus disappeared from THAT universe, and was in the other 2? An alternate reality where KLAUS DID NOT DESTROY EVERYTHING! But instead, sent himself and Meyneth to the other 2!
And bcuz Klaus FUCKED with the universe in the 3rd one, PURPLE ALIENS GOT MAD AND CAME TO WIPE OUT HUMANITY AND DESTROYED EARTH. The beginning of XENOBLADE X! And XC3 CONNECTING XCX TO THE MAIN FRANCHISE!
I remember in the XCX opening cutscene mentioning an invasion they saw coming and prepared colony ships ready to leave Earth.
It was bcuz of Klaus' experiments! The "Saviorite Rebels trying to stop him, know the consequences! He tampered with that Meta Universe Manifold thing (Disappeared along with Meyneth into the other 2 universes) and the Aliens didn't appreiciate that and came to wipe out humanity and destroy the planet. XC3 ends where XCX begins!
That'd mean XCX happened *A long time ago in a Universe far, far away*
ITS PERFECT!!
Note: I haven't played the XCX. I only saw the beginning cutscene. Which is why I made this theory. And pls don't spoil. Just tell me if the aliens had other reasons or whatever. And don't say why. I'm waiting for X to come to NS
But this is ALL just a theory. A GAME Theory
@@cqllel5186 the aliens had other reasons and that wouldnt make sense since xb2 earth was destroyed and became alrest . In xcx the earth is in the state similar to before klaus' experiment so that theory makes no sense.
If they do, I'm hoping it's the same art style for all characters, I really didn't like XC2's approach of basically being a manga artist compilation, it looked incredibly offputting.
Melia got them jukes 😳
Isn’t the Fog King a kind of Gnosis? Full of hate, not from that dimension, intangible...
@Is really toasty here I really doubt that Guldo was Galea as for some as important as her to Klaus they wouldn’t really unceremoniously kill her other half off if she did. I’m pretty sure they’re just reusing models.
@@N120Xeno nope. The infernal guldo was Galea. When the gang finishes it off the cutscene shows that it leaves behind an ID card. Galea's ID card to be exact. You can even see her face. So either its her, or it ate her
@@shadowdragun again I’m pretty sure that’s just reusing assets because as someone as important as Galea I don’t think they would unceremoniously kill her other half off (if she did have another half) as a throw away boss. Also why would she be in Morytha when we last saw her at the 1st low orbit space station. To me it just makes no sense.
@@N120Xeno eho knows. Maybe she was thrown down there with the rest of the humans that got turned into guldos. And again, it did frop her ID card. How do you think it could have gotten it if it wasnt her? Besides, if we're throwing parallels here the time Rex's froup fight infernal gukdo should be around the same time Zanza kills meyneth in Xenoblade 1. And since they are both happening at the same time...would make sense. She just wasnt as lucky as in the first game. Her soul was turned into a goddess. Her body into a monster. Its dramatic irony really
Fog king looks like the infernal guldo from xenoblade chronicles 2
fog king is just the Infernal Guldo from XC2 who drops the meyneth/galea id card
Hell no phase 2 kept kicking my ass and surprise surprise I was lv.71
same, the party wide topple fucked me up, i got pissed and i was too lazy to grind so i just cheesed by going casual mode
A really mean person I was stuck too, but the topple is only in front, so just walk behind and you can avoid
The dragon boss after gathering all the ponspectors was worse. That thing is a literal demon
Man I really hope the Infernal Guldo and rift being a dimensional portal theory is right bc I feel kinda cheated honestly
Why does the King of Fog look like the Ganglion?
Melia and Tyrea are actually gorgeous
15:40 what's going on Fiora?
Little jealous lmaoo
@@Infinitiddy Aw that's hilarious
lol, didnt notice that seriously wondering how shulk got away with a road trip with her love rival.
i figured she was upset with reyn because he promised her he'd look after shulk only for him to get stranded on the shoulder for at least a few days
She was annoyed that her BoYfRiEnD was gone without Shulk telling her. 😌
1:07 what kind of camera angle is that?! hahahaha
I don’t know why but Melia and Shulk sounds different. Did they use different VAs?
the actors are older is all, remember this game initially came out in 2010, the main game used the original voice files
Same voice actors but it has been around 10 years since the original came out so of course they sound a bit different
I don't rly notice with Shulk but yeah Melia... I guess High Entias have puberty late.
No, Adam Howden and Jenna Coleman are just 10 years older than they were in the original.
Same voice actors, but it's been 10 years. The main game used the original sound clips, which is why they sound the same there.
I don't know if anyone's clicked yet... BUT THE FOG KING IS A FUCKING GULDO. Look at it's animations and gait closely. It's identical to one of the giant malformed Guldos like Relic-Holder Tyrannor or the Infernal Guldo at the end of Chapter 8. When it uses Mist Charge, its the same animation that it uses for Elemental Copy in Xenoblade 2. And look at how it's chest flashes when it uses Internal Burst. Its the same animation for Elemental Bomb. This brings in so many new questions with no answer. How did Guldos get here in the first place? What's with the black and red fog covering them? Where does this sit in the timeline of Xenoblade 2? Will we see Rex and the others again, potentially in a continuation/unification story for the two Xenoblade games? (X doesn't count, it's almost certainly non-canon). The list goes on. When these questions will be answered, no-one knows. But Monolith won't leave this story unfinished.
X is balling. They got the Telethia from the rift. Tainted look and function like fog beasts. AKA, normal wildlife possessed by a blast mist with glowing fiery eyes.
Different universe, but connected world.
@@jonahkluger6136 Considering that we have no clue if the Xenoblade 2 DLC is canon, who can really say.
@@lewisspring35 Xenoblade 2 DLC and Smash interactions are not canon. But the Telethia in XCX is canonically from XC1, and Future Connected is likely how and when it goes over to Mira. It also explains why it feeds on Tainted/Fogbeasts and ignores humans. Having a Telethia randomly feed on enemies that act and look EXACTLY like Fog Beasts is likely a clear indication that there is a connection. While I don't see a direct crossover coming, I absolutely expect the events of all three games to influence each other like Xenoblade 1 and 2.
Remember Fog King is a Guldo from Xenoblade 2 and they were subtle about that.
[U-Du has entered the chat]
was I the only one that expected the fog king to get his own boss theme, but it’s ok with me that he has Zanza’s theme.
I mean he did got his own theme
Haha now i understand why the zanza theme. . . . Ugh
It looks like the infernal Guldo boss in XC 2
So therefore like XC2 Galea
It's possible that when the worlds was beginning to separate there was a rift in the two causing Guldo to come through with the connection of the rift causing a respawn point for him.
I think they’re reusing the Inferno Guldo model for the fog king.
@@ghesiskreist1197 No like the Infernal Guldo with a reused asset ID card showing those guldos were once a human
So this was Alvis all along?
More like the initial points of contact between the dimensions. Alpha was likely involved in sending stuff through, though. Remember, once he left Bionis, he reverted to a much more robotic personality and his conscience was buried.
WE MEASURE! FIND TREASURE!
10:15 woah those are agility 50 moves
Melia's face at the end, that smile.
My testosterone spiked like I'd go to war for that smile.
What even was the Fog King supposed to be? Alpha uses the same rift in Future Redeemed and I was expecting some type of connection back to this
They mention Fog beasts in one of the affinity scenes in Future Redeemed saying that they're coming from the black fog indicating signs of a strained world. A also says that they later became Alpha's servants after he took over. I feel like the Fog King wasn't supposed to be a major enemy in the grand scheme of things. Feels more like it was a strong variant and due to their limited knowledge on the rift and everything they assumed it was the cause of it all.
Back when Future Connected came out they teased it would give details for the future of Xenoblade. The rifts and fog beasts could have been first cracks in the XC1 world as it began it's attempts to merge with XC2 world.
@@sentoworfI think that’s the long and short of it. They were the initial points of contact that heralded what was coming.
If they come from the black fog, and the black fog is the first sign of a potential annihilation event, and an annihilation event is the result from the two different matters of both worlds not mixing together well, and the fog beasts tend to look like regular monsters, it seems to me that fog beasts are just regular monsters or any beings for that matter that has had very long exposure to the black fog, and are thus infected by it as if it's a disease. They often look like normal monsters, but only seem to appear around black fog, so I think that makes sense.
It’s basically a projection of an infernal guldo like the one from the Xenoblade 2 that you have to fight in Morytha. The fog rifts are basically a result of the two worlds (Shulk’s world and Rex’s world) intersecting with each other. This intersection/merger of both worlds is what leads to the discovery of the annihilation events revealed in X3 and the reason why Origin was created to allow people to survive the major annihilation events in the merger. The latest Xenoblade 3 artbook revealed this info about the fog king being a guldo
0:28
I’m I the only one who thought The Fog King was Zanza when they first played the game
3:29 ost?
Majesty
@@zwooop64 thank you!
I'm more interested in why Fiora looks mad when Shulk returns. Is it because she didn't join in the adventure?
She could think Shulk might have you know, done some cheating while he was away with only Melia-
Probably because he was gone way longer than he was supposed to be
Probably cause being missing for days if not weeks for what was supposed to be a half a day trip was probably distressing, you know, considering they are a couple. Like the "do you know how worried i was" kinda mad.
Shulk is cool and all but what can he do once Rex starts spamming Double Spinning Edge with a maxed out Mythra? He'll just take the punishment and die!
fitting since this boss has the model of infernal guldo
You should have used the Union Strike when your Party Gauge is full as it would inflicted alot of damage against the Fog King. Also, you could have raised the Level of each party member to at least Level 80 before fighting the Fog King as it would make the battle against it easier. The Fog King's Level is 78, so the higher the party's average Level, the better chance you would defeat it.
Where can i play xenoblade?
Wii, 3DS, Wii U and Switch. The switch version has extra content added
Wii is the original, Wii U is available in the e shop, 3DS is an import with a few features that is only exclusive & Switch is a HD remaster with exclusive contents with this epilogue being one of them.
@@Matsuna13 Well the switch version is actually a remake
Do you know google?
Slobertooth 13-It is. More of an improved version of the Wii version.
wait hold on, you got a different boss battle theme, when I played future connected it played zanza's theme for me
Phase one only has zanza theme
Zanza the Divine plays for phase one in general, but the second phase has a unique theme. Why they picked Zanza the Divine for phase one, I will never know. But holy shit it is the poster child of weird choices of music in games.
i wonder where is tyrea in xenoblade 3 ;.;
She may have died or something idk
Probably is up in Origin like most of the people of the XC1 and XC2 worlds.
Some time later….
Shulk and Fiora married and had a son
Reyn and Sharla married and had a daughter
Eunie was born
Noah and Lanz We're also born
What is with Melia showing more skin in Future Connected than in the main game? Even for an imperial princess, her dress seems very immodest and contrary to her formal image.
No clue, but its Japan anyways so that's a random answer thrown out there lol
Because its what she wanted to wear i guess
What even is the fog king and why am I fighting it...
It’s highly suspected to be an Infernal Guldo from Xenoblade Chronicles 2, but still, whatever the hell the thing was is still very much unknown, and just the topic itself can still very well continue to be speculated upon.
Nobody knows what it is but there’s theories about it
_realizes that this thing is what was eating the architect back in xenoblade 2_
...how is this thing here...?
Uh no the other side of klaus was a rip in his body connecting to zanza
WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT.
(as a lore lover) IS THIS IN THE DEFINATIVE EDITION, OR IS IT AN ENTIRELY NEW GAME.
it's in the definitive edition
You can only unlock it once you defeat Zanza (Final boss of the main game). The "Extra story" option will appear in the title screen then.
@@dogze6744 no no no no no. this is only in the definitive edition RIGHT? i have played through the game 7 total times. i swear if i somehow missed this.
@@dogze6744 i didnt finish the story and i have the option to play the futute connected story
nimrod films
I mean... yeah, it’s only in the Definitive Edition.
How can you miss it? It’s literally labeled as “Extra Story” at the bottom of the screen? You know, where all the other buttons are?
So who the fuck was the fog king exactly
An infernal guldo
What is that siren??
No a monster called the Fog King
It's actually a Guldo from Xenoblade Chronicles 2.
I seriously wish they went into more detail about WHY a Guldo found its way to Shulk's universe, though...
@@cornishdinosaur Maybe it could have climbed the World Tree and the Conduit warped the Infernal Guldo to that world.
@@Seressune but this is after the main game, where the conduit has already disappeared
@@eeeeggnog._.
Maybe Klaus's dumb brain caused more damaged than we could ever imagines
This boss was so easy for me first time level 77
I came here after finishing xeno 3 and I'm thinking : what if the fogbeast is a mobius who kidnap Melia ?
After finishing this, I have to say I was disappointed. I love the material between Melia and Tyrea, and the cutscenes and music were gorgeous, but the story left SO much to be desired. The gameplay was still solid, but no skill trees/links or affinity made things way more frustrating than it should’ve been. The final boss was a complete joke, even compared to Zanza, and the primary antagonists are never really explained (with one being concluded in a side quest, of all things). This just really felt rushed, and it’s incredibly underwhelming, especially considering they did this same thing much better with Torna.
Torna got more time and funding than this. I think it's meant to hint at a sequel. The final boss didnt much act like a final boss but more or less like a minion. I wouldnt be surprised if the next game had the main characters fight a mob of them at once.
Well that is actually due to a lot of work that was done on Torna even while making 2, also they worked on it for 8 months after completion of 2. Also an interesting tidbit for you. They said they have been working on a new game while they worked on the definitive edition. So Future Connected was mostly something made to finish up Melia's story while keeping the world going for possible linking to the other games. So I am super excited to see what they have been working on now.
11:40 like I needed another reason to dislike Fiora.
She was probably just really worried about Shulk. They were expected to be only gone for like...a day
I personally did not like the use of Music in this Last Boss at all :/
It’s so weird to hear the Main Theme in this Fight because it doesn’t fit the Atmosphere at all
The fact they used Zanza the Divine for the first phase is the textbook definition of strange reuse of music. It’s like if One Winged Angel played at the end of FFVIIR: Intermission or Unwavering Belief playing at the end of The Kaito Files.
And yeah, hearing the main theme in the post-fight cutscene is so weird feeling. Like you said, it doesn’t fit the atmosphere of the final boss at all. Engage the Enemy felt weird too since it’s reserved for tragic moments in the story, but here it’s used for a HUGE WIN for the gang. It would have been better if they reused Counterattack instead, even if it’s from a different game.
Melia's voice feels very wrong in this game.
it's been 10 fucking years
Do you really expect her voice to sound the same after 10 years?
Shulk is so weak man. If that was Rex he'll just keep spamming rolling smash and double spinning edge and then he goes Aegis third form and whoop the boss' ass some more.
Rex wouldn't be able to hit the fog king in first place
shulk doesnt have the monado anymore he just has a regular powered up sword
Never used Melia in te while DLC, she’s so garbage
Funny because she’s the default character here. For some reason?
You were just bad at the game
She’s amazing and OP af
i sucked using melia but then got used to it by the end of the dlc then realized she was really good
I had a lot of fun exploring the Shoulder and reclaiming the capital for the High Entea, but the ending was pretty bad. No explanation on what caused the Rift, Gal'gar dying off screen, no hint for XC 3, Fiora barely in it. You stop one Rift, but without knowing what caused it (other than Shulk saying it's cause this new world is still in it's infancy), there's no reason why more Rifts won't open in the future in the world of XC1. Melia even says the Rift gave her a foreboding feeling for the future of their world. Oh yeah, and the resolution of the game in handheld mode looked awful most of the time, just like in Torna the final battle was hard to see at times. I don't get why they felt the need to have TWELVE nopons following you around at all times, knowing full well they have a hard time getting the Switch to perform well enough to avoid drops in frames and resolution during hectic fights. It shows the dev team isn't learning from their mistakes and they just assume fans will put up with their unoptimized crap.
Gal'gar suicide was kinda shocking for me... Didn't expect it at all, was kinda disturbing.
Imagine thinking the resolution is a big problem. It literally makes almost no noticable difference
Ponspecters can be disabled outside of battle
Who hurt you?
The final boss is a Guldo from Xenoblade Chronicles 2. Y’know, The brings that originate from humans underneath the cloud sea? From the looks of it, while this is a prequel...
This might be a hint to the events of Xenoblade Chronicles 3 whenever it comes out.
Future Connected had a terrible dub, just like 2 did (mostly, lots of standouts in that game), so I'm a little concerned for 3. Coleman just didn't try in the slightest to sound like her younger self, which is obviously understandable, but that's more due to the fact that she was horribly directed. Shulk and Riki's children are bad, too.
If Nintendo of Europe gets to continue translating Monolith Soft productions going forward, I hope they can find people who care more about the job and of course provide them with their needs.
I honestly agree. While I do believe Coleman had some really good line deliveries here, she didn’t sound much like Melia at all. Although the voices for 3 sound pretty good so far from the trailers (at least, in my opinion)
Well, that ending fucking sucked, connected my ass, there was no plot all along.
