*Also, I noticed an error recently regarding Moebius P. In this video I said she was Agnian because of her American accent on multiple occasions, but she actually possesses a Kevesi Iris. This is conflicting, since there are no American accents in Xenoblade 1. I think this does give me a good opportunity to discuss pre-war Aionios, though.

We see multiple of the Moebius appear old. This could be due to either them being old when they become Moebius (which means that they are either Unassimilated or are of the same nature as a person from the City, or it could be that all Moebius do age very very slowly over time. Perhaps N and M's special getups help prevent them from getting old in this way like other Moebius, it could also serve as an explanation for why they never assume higher forms, it's a waste of energy that could go to staying alive longer.

To explain how Moebius P has an American accent, we have to look at the time the 'Siblings' portrait was painted. It was stated by Segiri that relics from that time threaten the way of life in modern Aionios, meaning that they had culture and family before the Keves-Agnus war. Most likely that culture and family came from people who were Unassimilated having families in Aionios, since there is no reason to believe that anyone in Origin would have started being reborn yet (since there's no war to fight). My theory for Moebius P, and the other Kevesi Moebius with American accents, that they do actually have Blade ancestry, though they were first born inside Aionios during the pre-war time period. This would mean that there was a time period before the war where people from both worlds were interbreeding, giving us a solid explanation for why there would be someone with a Kevesi Iris showing an Agnian (or Blade) trait.

Ultimately, because I do think that Moebius P has a core crystal even in my explanation here, I think that the point I made in the video stands. However, I felt it was necessary to give this additional context to explain that contradiction anyways.

Thanks for watching!

1 hour Xeno lore. Count me in, man

Perhaps M’s lack of a Moebius core could be explained by her flesh eater core crystal, already containing “two opposites”, human and blade, bypassing the need to have a Moebius core. Even though it is not the primary reason, it could also explain why Alpha chose Na’el who has the same core crystal.

34:23 Morbius moment

37:17 I dare say the "generic" Moebius red comes from their control over Origin, which is based on Ontos's core, which is red.

I reall enjoyed this thorough deep dive into the Lore of Xenoblade 3 and it even helped me piece together some things I was still questioning and trying to figure out for myself, great work 👍

Xenoblade 3:
-origin operation failed
-Cycle of war and rebirth
-get hunted
-unite(auroborus)
-character development
-asking about goal
-free the queen
-remove the curse
-unite fighting the mastermind
-N and M redemption
-noah become god
-make the world split again
-reborn
-years later
-origin operation success(mythra's kid story)
-xenosaga world is back
-happy happy happy

I will not gonna mention about  the prequel on future redeemed

Dumbxeno you're so cool and cute when you have multiple lengthy thought processes that remain consistent to eachother and are able to present it all wothout faltering. Good job dude🎉

Imagine Takahashi himself watching this video and probably bamboozled that some of the details probably he's not intentionally created is being viewed with such detail... 🤣

Jokes aside very well done video.. Alot of my questions were answered in this one.

Couple of things that have been confirmed since the art book was released. Lucky Seven is specifically Fiora, on the other hand N's sword is Malos specifically.

man one thing i love about xenoblade 3 (though it will annoy alot including myself) is the interpetation because of all these cool theory videos i love watching

Absolutely phenomenal work!

This answered so many questions I've had and it feels like the lore loop is finally closed.

I think I would call the aegis blades "The Monados" because any weapon that is given to someone by an aegis or given to someone by the avatar of an aegis is the equivalent of Zanza giving Shulk the Monado I and II and Ontos (Alvis) giving Shulk the Monado III or True Monado. This doesn't change the explanation at all, but once I made the connection it was much easier to follow. I also like the interpretation that Monado weapons are like login credentials that give access to one of the trinity processors (since they are computers). In turn, each trinity processor can use the power of the conduit (XC1 & 2) or the power of the worlds yearning to reconnect/annihilate (XC3). A key detail which you covered is that the only way to get this "login" is to be given it by an aegis (trinity processor) or their avatar, which is already a "trusted user" of the processor.

I also thought that Shulk and Rex becoming avatars was to give A (Ontos) the equivalent of Logos and Pneuma so that no rouge plan was tried again. I may have missed it, but I don't think you stated that the goal of Ontos is progress above all else (which is perhaps what Klaus' goal was with the experiment). This explains why Alvis (Ontos) gave Shulk the ability to overthrow Zanza (he wanted to preserve the stagnant Bionis cycle of rebirth) and why Alpha (also Ontos) wanted to start a new world (really a universe or pocket dimension) with the city folk (as the inhabitants of Bionis/Mechonis and Alrest chose to a frozen Aionios over facing the future). The difference is that Zanza was motivated by greed/power while the inhabitants of the "old world" were merely scared. It’s the input of Pneuma and Logos that gives Ontos the moral compass that would have prevented Alpha's plan. That mostly likely agrees with the interpretation that Origin only used Ontos, and because Origin basically runs Aionios, that's why Pneuma and Logos were no longer connected/communicating with Ontos. I think your explanation of Shulk and Rex's roles as avatars makes sense, but I think this consideration in addition gives a fuller story as to why they became co-avatars. It also works that Shulk and Rex are almost perfect analogs to Logos and Pneuma. Shulk is logical and pessimistic (see XC1 skill trees), and Rex fully awoke Pneuma in XC2. Rex and Shulk can also be trusted in this role as proven by their previous games.  

This may be the best Xenoblade 3 lore explanation I’ve ever seen, and I can’t wait to see more pieces come together in the future. 😊

I suspect the reason a lot of the deeper connections were not made clear to the player are due to the additional exposition required to satisfactorily explain them to players who have not played the other games.  Especially if you look at base XC3 alone there are many unanswered questions.  Future Redeemed is clearly much heavier in fanservice and has a higher expectation of the player's understanding of series lore, so it can make efforts to tie up those questions.  The evidence is there in XC3 but doesn't tie together cohesively (or even stand out as something noteworthy in the first place, which avoids alienating new players) without awareness of prior games and FR.  Perhaps it could have been done better via side content or something more obscure but explicit, such as diary entries from Nia explaining some things which are there to read if you choose, but are not required to appreciate XC3 in isolation.  I also believe they don't want to be TOO explicit about the mechanics of things in order to leave room for future titles to add on or re-interpret as necessary without being overly constricted.  This is similar to what happened with 1 and 2, after all.  They want room for small retcons which are better for the series in the long run.

I wish I saw this video sooner tbh

This gives me a semblance of peace. Just finished future redeemed and been seeing all the videos say “Noah just yeeted pneuma + XB1 crew into the ocean”. I’ll take how you explained it, otherwise Noah’s symbolic act becomes an idiotic one

This was a great video, I already loved the game. But your video help me in some areas more.

id say Z is less of a Logos Avatar and more of an Ontos Avatar. 1. he speaks just as vaguely as Alvis,  He refers to alvis as his god. Z infinity shares the same colours as the Ontos core,  and Z acts as an arbiter just like Alvis

Great video dude! Keep at it! I hope you make another more videos one day! <3

1:22:27 this is one of my favourite "I know writers who use subtext and they're all cowards" moments from Takahashi, Mio and Noah literally dancing together lmao

14:08 i think your reasoning on why N gets the Logos core isn't wrong but i don't think it applies for the previous incarnations of Noah before he became Moebius. Whenever we see those incarnation of Noah, he carries the sword like he's always had it. He's so used to it eventhough it's such an uncommon blade. I think that kind of implies Noah gets it sooner.

If you were to think of a reason why the first Noah would get it without his interactions with Mio you'd have to think about the kind of soldier he is and then the answer becomes clearer.

We've seen the kind of soldier Noah was in the base game. He was the kind of person who already had questions about the world. Compared to other soldiers who fight for many reasons like their hatred for each other, Noah doesn't fight Agnian soldiers for any reason other than he has to in order to live and he hates it.

He questions the kind of world that would force such a rule and I think this is a core trait of Noah that he always has no matter how many times he reincarnates which is why he's always fighting against Z. These beliefs he has that follow logic and reasoning restricted by his limited worldviews is what attracts Logos core.

I think this reasoning on why Noah would obtain the Logos core everytime makes more sense as it involves his thoughts and feelings on the world itself which is much more likely to occur consistently. This is also similar to how Nael got Ontos' core.
