I’ll always remember this as the ending that made Etika cry

Ive never had a more emotionally satisfying ending in my life. Tying in all of the games, and giving everyone the conclusion that they needed. What an absolutely spectacular game. It was the last game i saw etika 100%, its one of the only games ive really cried in, and it holds a lot of memories despite how young this game is. Thank you monolith soft. So much.

On the topic of Pyra and Mythra both coming back. This was a reflection on what was in Rex's heart. When Klaus was judging them the dark sides of everyone's heart was shown in black and white. But Rex's one was in color. I think this was the final gift from Klaus, knowing what was in Rex's  heart.

Reviving both Mythra and Pyra might've been part of Klaus's plan of restoration. What's especially interesting is that they both have core crystals in the end. I think Pneuma's and Malos's core crystals were reassigned to Mythra and Pyra. This might've happened as soon as Malos died actually, which is why Pneuma had two core crystals when she was inside Aion.

It is very likely that Mythra and Pyra remembered everything.

When Roc was reawakened, everyone was very unfamiliar with each other, whereas everyone was so happy when Mythra and Pyra reawakened.

Moreover, Pyra was a 2nd self that Mythra created, so if Pyra/Mythra really lost their memory, Pyra wouldn't even have reawakened.

When I heard Shulk's line about defeating Zanza, my jaw dropped. I had suspected that Klaus' other half was Zanza and that his upcoming demise at the hands of Shulk and co. was what he was referring to when he said his time was drawing near, but the audible confirmation just sold it for me. As a massive XC1 fan, I love how XC2 connected the two universes.

Also, Zeke's line about respecting Pyra's wishes being what it means to be an adult hit hard because that was Zeke's underlining character. He was Rex's father figure (or maybe more of an uncle). He mentions a couple of times earlier how Rex's heart is in the right place but that he needs an adult role model to guide him. Because of this setup, that line hit hard for me. Zeke, like Reyn, is a comic relief character done right as he has way more beneath the hood than just goofy unlucky nerd trying to look cool.

I just beat XC2, and I have to say that this is one of the best stories I have ever experienced.

I enjoyed the ending but Torna's ending, man, the feels. It's so good. Seeing Mythra break down and just realizing its impact on what happens in the main game made it incredible. It gave me chills. Great video!

Pour one out for our boy Roc.

Just finished the game, first time. Best game of all time.

Did anyone shed a tear when poppi goes to hug tora? i.e. “the big cute”

I love Pneuma's smile so much. It makes me warm inside. Pneuma is the best.

11:38 I like the idea that Malos is still kicking around somewhere in a mirror to Klaus- damaged but still alive enough to regret and reflect on his past actions, and hopefully motivated enough to do something about it. Something of his own volition this time.

Like what Irina said at the end of X, “You can’t make up for your mistakes when you’re dead. Hell, he’d BETTER come back. He’s got work to do.”

about the 2 lit up cores in aion its also possible teh 2 lit up ones are missing as in a red error message (like in a car you get a red light when fuel is low) but i suspect thats a stretch

man at 16:10 you talking about the next game being 1 and 2 worlds combined???????????????

4:13 "Are you ready for the bridge scene?" No. No I am not.

I loved it. I Was really cheering for Pythra, and actually It was logic. You were told multiple times how blades and driver work. If driver died, its over. If blade died...

“Future combined world” Well boy do I have news for you

I wasn't a big fan of the ending originally either, but after mulling it over for a while and comparing plot-points from the entire Xeno-series as whole, I feel there's more going on with the ending and the Pyra/Mythra split. Especially if more people join in on the belief of the "memory loss" ending. Fusing together again and regaining her memories with a new self/form would fit in very well with Xenogears and Xenosaga. It feels very much like there's more to come for XC2's characters and story as a whole.


I don't think their split really has anything to do with Malos though, but more to do with her still trying to find herself. Malos inhabiting Aion feels plausible though and that ties in with me feeling some very strong Logos/Ontos/Pneuma connections to the whole Zohar situation in Xenogears. I don't think he's entirely gone from the world.


There are so many allusions to Xenogears and Xenosaga that I which the next Xenoblade game would get here already so I can see if all my theories are right D:

I loved the ending the way it was. Xenoblade Chronicles 2 is one of the best games I’ve ever played before and it was so easy to fall in love with all the characters and unique Blades.

Honestly, I absolutely love the ending of Xenoblade 2, it isn't perfect, but it made me so happy
