We've been calling Fiora "Seven" for over a decade. I'm surprised we had to be outright told to figure "Lucky Seven" out!

Riku called Fiora "Seven" to protect the main cast from spoilers?

"I made enemies more comically evil because that's closer to reality" is a goated sentiment, and just one of many many reasons why Xenoblade 3 is just the best.

Shulk 🤝Rex
Waifu Swords

Okay, setting the Riku lie counter to infinity, then immediately setting the (previously non-existent) Manana lie counter equal to the Riku lie counter is hilarious.

3 Luxin videos in less than 2 weeks, 2 of which are over an hour long, is absolutely nuts

“hey some people seemed confused about this lore detail. Could you explain that a bit?”
“no”

44:35 I know it's a joke "Rex, who apparently just by having married Pneuma twice is also on the same level as those 2." But Rex had the power of the Conduit flowing through him for a couple months. I think that VERY much qualifies him

Cant believe they announced Xenoblade: 4 Swords Adventures in the artbook

Takahashi saying that yes "Lanz is a Machina" also confirms something that has been debated on the Xenoblade Wiki... which is the obvious... and that is that "yes, the races of XC1 and XC2 exist in XC3 even if it's residents don't acknowledge it".

Seriously had some good arguments on the boards of the wiki cause people insisted we couldn't  list Lanz, Eunie, and the like's race in their profile cause it hadn't been "confirmed".

I mean to me it was obvious enough, their body physicality's, as well as accents and such all indicated these things.

51:23 it’s definitely Dunban. He’s wielding Dunban using Dunban’s fighting style. Reyn isn’t a bastard sword-type Pokémon so I doubt he’d be comfortable inhabiting one, and I can already picture Dunban coaching Shulk or critiquing his technique from beyond the Origin Metal

Jesus 2: the Sequel no one knew they wanted

The fact that we got so much cleared up in this artbook just goes to show how much the developers care for their audience.

It's great that most things aren't spoonfed to us and that we get room to interpret, but it's also great that Takahashi and his team are willing to put in the effort to shine some light on concepts, plot points and specific moments the community took as a little vague.

I sincerly hope that Monolithsoft will continue to put in this insane amount of effort for it's stories and it's fans. This is exactly the reason why i love this series and these developers so damn much!

Shame this video isn't named "1 hour of XC3 information we (mostly) already knew"

But in all seriousness, this information just makes me excited for the future of Xenoblade.

35:10 about this whole mess, the only kanji shared between actual Monado Arts and Lucky Seven arts are for Buster (which we know to be a standard Monado technique) and PURGE.
The only know people to use Purge are Alvis (the master of the Monado system) and Shulk after Alvis thought it to him.
What if (and crazy idea here) what if Purge is a Meyneth Art that Alvis gave to Shulk just to help out?
And thus because Meyneth was in Fiora, Fiora carried some of that to Lucky Seven

Well this just makes the already ridiculous family connections even more ludicrous. Both Nikol and Glimmer got to meet their mothers without either of them noticing. Also N's sword is literally is wife's uncle. Noah probably has the single strangest way to "meet the in-laws" I've ever seen, and I'm not talking about Nia.
Most of these connections were possible to draw already, but of course Takahashi just had to go and say "no, the objects in question are literally those characters."

They turned Fiora into a sword. Funniest shit I've ever seen.

if malos comes back as permanent party member i would FREAK OUT, i want it so bad. a malos which is finally free from amalthus & is trying to make amends possibly hundreds or even thousands of years after.

"Fiora's profile pic is a sword and Shulk's profile pic is a selfie" is the best metaphor I've heard yet

Riku always said the truth. He's just a common variety nopon.

We just didnt understand what being a common variety nopon means #gaslight#gatekeep#noponboss
