A Moment of Eternity (Ending Theme) DIRECT RIP EDIT - Xenoblade 2 - Torna: The Golden Country 

*soothing music plays as people are assassinated in the background*

a moment of eternity ... one could say ... an endless now?

In the course of a lifetime, a man will see uncountable meetings and partings. Yet as your life's candle sputters and dies, whose face is it that rises to greet you? Happy is the man that can sleep in the comfort of the smile he sees then. No, I don't wish for "forever." Even for just one moment, it's enough if it's with her. And yet what is the man to do that has not been afforded that chance? The road stretches on without end. I can not but walk down it. As long as I keep walking, I can hold that hope that one day, the time may come when I see her smile again. That hope keeps me afloat.

I played this song at my mother's funeral and the people who put it together played it at the end before everyone left to go to the cemetery. I got so many people complementing me on my song choice. Now this song holds even more meaning than it did before.

The name of this song is "moment of eternity" It's sung from loras perspective to jin. 500 years later, one of jins arts is called "empty moment" .......feels bad man..

This song’s name and message hit differently after XC3.

All the Xenoblade games end With a beautiful Song... I'm glad Torna keeps that tradition

Honestly, no other game I’ve played had multiple moments where I’ve broken down and cried like XC2. And this is among the few games where I’ve felt emotion towards the villains. Spoilers: Lora was Jin’s everything. Her death left him lost, and broken. He wandered for years, seeking a place to belong, but he couldn’t find it. He couldn’t live without her, but he couldn’t die because he promised to keep her memory alive. He grew to despise the world, for it was brutal, and unforgiving. Evil lurked in the hearts of man, which he saw plainly as they used blades as tools, and killed one another everywhere. He made many terrible choices, destroyed many innocent lives, because he saw only the darkness in humanity’s heart, and wished to be rid of it. But as he fought with Rex that final time, he was made to realize there is still hope. He was able to forgive the world for his great loss, and chose to finish what they had started all those years ago; Stopping Malos. He was able to find his peace, knowing that others would remember his story. What a splendid soul you were, Jin.

"I don't wish for forever. Even just for one moment, it's enough if it's with her." -Jin

Also this song is definitely sung from Lora's perspective to Jin at the end of the game. This makes it 100% sadder

The ending of the song could just as easily represent Addam talking to Mythra, considering the fact that Mythra needed Rex's support to move on from the past and stop fearing her power.

Wind goes passing by Through the sunset sky This wind will carry lots of memories When you'll look around You won't see me anywhere But you will feel in the air that I am there For a time, I will be away With the wind gusting along I'll just say it won't be too long Soon enough we will meet one day Sentimentally, the time will pass us by And all we shared was a moment, I know But that moment will shine us through to the sky So don't look back, let the moment be forever Speed of time was different for us Not to say that was all bad Nonetheless those moments we've treasured Will be carved into stone eternally So please never forget All the precious time we shared The warmth of your hands Don't forget, don't look back, I'll be there Promise me that you'll walk again Won't you show me that smile? And I know, you will find that someone Who will help you move on Since that day you came and took my hand Our story began So don't be scared to reach out for someone I know you will be fine, Just go on

You see, Malos stated that words were powerful, and Lora ultimately condemned Jin to a life of solitude when she accepted his proposal to become a flesh eater. This song, however, expresses her true feelings. Pay attention to the lyrics. She basically begs him to remember all the good moments they shared, while also walking his path until he finds someone to fill the gap in his heart. Lora never wanted Jin to live in the past, all she wanted was him to grow, while keeping her close to his heart. "Don't forget... don't look back...". I hope he realized that on his last moments, since he had such a beautiful and content smile. Honestly, this dlc really accomplished the mission to give Jin one of the most deep stories of all the cast.

Lora: Reach out for someone and you will be fine Jin reached out for Malos. Big oof right there

This entire song was foreshadowing all along.

I love the bit of Jin's theme at 3:24

I think the theme of this song gives real closure to TTGC. The game itself is a very sad story, but the credits let the player reflect on the storyline importance of the game they just played, while heeding to the introduction of Xenoblade Chronicles 2. Makes me wonder what impact they would have on a player going through TTGC first.

Why is this game so damn depressing my heart can't take it

Anybody cry especially to this ending? Rex showing up at the end made it hit even harder for me.

I can't address how much this ending makes me feel a bunch of different emotions. I played the Torna DLC way after it's release and my first playthrough of it and i decided to try to 100% it if possible (i was pretty close actually except for the golden monster hunt). In the base game I didn't really concentrated on side quest that much because I didn't find them interesting enough to waste my time on them (I did some but definitely not all) and now after my playthrough of Torna I think I made a huge mistake on that part. Doing all the Sidequests in the DLC seeing everyone's Story and how in the end it comes together in one huge community for you to look after, I think I can't quite put it in words of how for filling it feels. But knowing what happens to Torna and it's destruction on the hands of the Aegisis was always in my mind while playing through it. I thought that everything I will do will be futile at the end. That I can't save everyone... ... ... Only too find out that you actually do. In the last cutscenes of the game you can see several people from your community on that boot. And in the credits you see most of Torna somehow survived in a little camp. I start crying when I saw that because of how I felt rewarded for investing my time into it... ... ... But I completely forget what scene this was... ... ... The last remaining hours of Torna before Amalthus troops show up to kill them all. And I just sat there looking at my TV in total disbelief. I mean like I said above I knew it was coming... But not how hard it could still hit me. So yeah I love this DLC and it will probably be my favorite expansion of a game ever. PS: FUCK AMALTHUS!!!

I'll protect you, always.

After finishing this I was in tears. Poor jin lost the person that meant the world to him had to suffer for 500 years not wanting to die just to keep her memory alive. During his final moments in the main game the way he just stares off meaning that he sees her and goes to be with her as he passes on.

Literally feel like crying for several days after finishing the game. After over 150 hours given to Xenoblade 2 I can't even begin to describe the emotions that overwhelm me. Part of me is this game, I will never feel a just and final conclusion to this story. Seriously crushed inside, shaking on the outside, and still wishing for more. I love this game. If you haven't played this game I would pay out of my own pocket for you to play it, if I could. However I can't, so please play it, and fall in love with it as I have. Man I have never been one to really want a character to be in smash, but if I don't get a Xenoblade 2 rep, I think I will die a little on the inside.

The more I listen to this song, the sadder it makes me feel. Especially when thinking back to Lora's line as she was dying, where she said that her scariest thought at that moment was that Jin would never remember who she was

Great I'm depressed again

A moment of eternity, clever monolith, very clever….

What a splendid soul you were, Jin

I have yet to listen to this song without crying,I just can’t you guys😭 Xenoblade is truly the best

Happy 4 years of Torna, one of the best "DLCs" of all time that's actually just an entire game. An excellent addition to the Xenoblade 2 story and a great experience even on it's own. Some of the best scenes in the series, an incredible final boss and a beautiful ending. Peak gaming and peak art.

I’m gonna bawl my eyes out again.

I cried more then I did in any other game in xenoblade 2. The story is so deep, so perfect, the characters are legendary. Up there with the Witcher 3 for me❤️

Dude. THANK you. I was waiting patiently for someone to attempt to stabilise the audio levels throughout this piece. Don't know how to do it myself.

One of the best DLC I've ever played

One last you was a Love letter from Pyra/Mythra to Rex, and this one is from Lora to Jin. Heart wrenching.

Happy 2nd Anniversary to Torna! :) One of the best that I've ever played.

Before this game, I never thought the ending of a prequel would have me crying and screaming at a screen, mainly because you know how it’s going to end… but this game. This game as a whole unleashed some emotional shackles I subconsciously locked away for years. These final 5 minutes you get after being hit with a “Well at least it can’t get any worse right? Right?” But no, this DLC was personally one of the best prequels i’ve ever experienced as it brought many emotions out of me I needed to feel in a long time. Xenoblade 2 was my first introduction to Xenoblade at the beginning of 2023, and it’s made me realise of how this franchise is under appreciated and sometimes misunderstood by the general gaming community. TLDR: Torna The Golden Country was an incredible story for me, for making me show emotions I never thought i’d show ever again from a narrative work

its hard to listen to this without crying still after all this time

Jin really was a splendid soul, crushed by the unfair nature of reality

I finished this DLC around a year after I finished the full game, so I already had some nostalgia for the original game. Then when this song came on I hard three reactions (SPOILERS) : - Thought: Man this could be a Disney song just sayin' - I literally CRIED at the end there when they showed Rex arriving to get Pyra, with that beautiful violin melody in the background, and then the title screen change - Thought: The lyrics are so sad cause reality is, he never really moved on. Maybe at the very end there, but what does that really mean when he died right after. Matter of fact is he never found that someone that helped him move on. Maybe Rex is that person arguably, but honestly the person he really met was Malos, and he just made Jin's resentment worse. Tragic....

When mythra said this isn’t real seeing auresco I broke down

Never realised luxin was the one who uploaded it

Today, Chuggaaconroy finished Xenoblade Chronicles 2. Thank you Emile for all the dedication into your let’s play.

(Go to 3:20 as you start to read this comment) As the screen fades away from Lora, Jin, Haze, and Mikhail, I remember exactly what they go through. What Amalthus does to them. Lora is killed, Haze gets abducted with half of her core crystal stolen, and Mikhail is an experiment for blade eating technology. Alongside all of that, Jin burns any memory of his past life, and joins Malos to destroy the world as he walks to the Monoceros. This ending is rough.

How tf does this make me wanna cry every damn time. Xeno 3 is gonna just make me commit a great flood

This song hits even harder once you finish Xenoblade Chronicles 3.

I kind of wish Jin had proclaimed "For Lora!" as he dealt with Amalthus in the world tree... this song gets me every single time.

I often find myself coming back to this song and it makes me tear up almost every single time. Such a beautiful song.

Honestly that moment where Jin burns the house with the last remnant of his past life along with the photo taken in the game just crushed me. Shit hits me more than most the moments of Xenoblade 3.

lyrics A Moment of Eternity Wind goes passing by through the sunset sky This wind will carry lots of memories When you’ll look around you won’t see me anywhere But you will feel in the air that I am there For a time, I will be away With the wind gusting along I’ll just say it won’t be too long Soon enough we will meet one day Sentimentally, the time will pass us by And all we shared was a moment, I know But that moment will shine us through to the sky So don’t look back, let the moment be forever Speed of time was different for us Not to say that was all bad Nonetheless those moments we’ve treasured Will be carved into stone eternally So please never forget All the precious time we shared The warmth of your hands Don’t forget, don’t look back, I’ll be there Promise me that you’ll walk again Won’t you show me that smile? And I know, you will find that someone Who will help you move on Since that day you came and took my hand Our story began So don’t be scared to reach out for someone I know you will be fine, just go on

I just finished playing torna and I'm a loss for words. I'm in the same boat that a lot of people have left in the comment section about of mix of emotions. The way this game ended maybe feel so sad for Jin and Myhtra and a huge amount of anger for Malos and Amalthus. But I took comfort Knowing that Rex would come along and set things right and I'm just getting started my playthrough of Xenoblade 3 (no spoilers please)! And this song got me in the feels. Beautiful and somber.

It’s just not the same without the ruthless assassinations, you know?

Smh get these people a Grammy. This is a video game ost.

Happy birthday to one of the best stories in the series

Real MVP here. Thanks Luxin!

If this song doesn’t play at my funeral, THEN I’M NOT GOING!!

I don't wish for forever. Not even for a single moment. It's enough, if it's with her.

I'm 2 yeah late but f in chat for lora and for jin because they both cared for each other and sadly they both died during there games.

Get ready for this.... Pyra knew her whole life's goal was to die. Until like chapter 8 lol. Thats 10000000000000000000000000% more traumatizing than what Mythra went through.

We just put my dog down today, I had him for 12 years, I was 5 when I got him, I'm now 17 going on 18. I'm going to miss him so much. I came to this song to help.

I'm not crying, YOU'RE CRYING

It's been so long since I've touched this song and touched the game. But this song still hit as hard as it did the first time I got to it.

The Endless "now"

if you do love someone, this lyric can be VERY heavy for the eyes ... beware!

Man... I felt so many feelings about my first playthrough. A lot of sadness at the story. A lot of bliss at the new world. A lot of pain tied to the community and the golden monsters. But most importantly bliss that the suffering inside was over. ...this game is fucking special. I hope this cart of mine never breaks...

This Lyrics and this tittle is clearly talking about some of the themes and conversations placed on Xenoblade 3... truly fantastic.

it's been years but man torna didn't need to do this to us. like i knew going in it was going to be sad. but i didn't know it was going to be THAT sad lol.

Finally. The best moment can be actually loud.

This is so special, it perfectly captures what it like to lose someone you love so much, but still it so bitter sweet because the song itself it's like her telling me everything will be fine and I should learn how to smile again, that's why i adore it so much

I’m not crying you’re crying

I played this game when my wife gave birth to my daughter, and the relationship between Adam and Mythra was perfect for getting me ready for fatherhood.

This song is absolutely beautiful

Such an underrated game and music.

torna made me feel in.love even more with the whole xenoblade 2. the song fits perfectly with the ending scenes. we cant desconsider that. its a masterpiece, a really piece of ART. this game had the same impact on me like final fantasy vii and x did in the past, like metal gear solid 3. i am happy that i had the chance tô experiênce this and i cant leave behind, i want to Go back and feel this again. thank you monolith.

Thanks for doing this! I’d made my own version that I didn’t have anywhere to upload to and I have absolutely no idea why none of the music channels that post these songs have uploaded a fixed version of this.

After beating torna let's just say Pyra and Jin are the characters I feel bad for the most.

This song's so good

After chuggaaconroys play through and knowing little bit! Jin is the best character

I would like to say again please play this game it is amazing.

My favorite game ever

Interesting to now compare Jin and N from 3, the latter went a lot more deranged from losing everything and delighted more in cruelty

Nice!

Xenoblade 3 Spoiler After Xenoblade 3, this song sounds like M telling N after she died, that wants him to move on and for him to stop being moebius and be the man he use to be and she still loves him. And that they will reunite in another life. And also sounds like the ending of Mio talking to Noah that they will see each other again.

Head cannon that Lora and Haze sing this

Your brain is a creative computer All the answers to life are for you to find Use your brain as a creative computer And you will see the light

Damn nice

歌は希望を感じさせるけど後ろの映像は絶望でしかない…唯一の希望は最後のレックス😢

Fun fact: in Special Relativity, light-speed travel is equivalent to teleportation to an outside observer. For the one performing it, the effect is equivalent to time stop, effectively stretching out a single moment. A "moment of eternity" perhaps? ;)

I think at its absolute core xenoblade 2 is about mistakes and how mistakes shape people like amalthus malos and in some cases all of the world itself with mythra at the end of the game TTGC is about mistakes and the effect of them on the world and xc2 is all about moving past those mistakes such spoliers as amalthuses dying thoughts jins last act and malos in his final words and of course the aegis itself but thats just my thoughts

I’m not crying, you are 😢😢😢

i want this song played at my funeral

Y E S

What a beautiful song. It would be a shame if it was tainted by death and depression…

Continuing the grand Xenoblade Chronicles tradition of the female lead singing a song about/towards the male lead. Also getting better each time - Beyond the Sky is a good song but not nearly as close to the story and character as One Last You and A Moment Of Eternity is just ... the perfect capstone for Lora/Jin and Torna. (X doesn't have a lead couple and Cross has no characterization and the original pre-pseudo-MMO plot had no Cross and ELMA as the lead so ... yeah no neither Lin nor Celica singing to Elma was going to happen.)

I'm not even kidding at all. I want this played at my funeral when I die. It's exactly the kind of message I'd want to send people after I'm gone. Move forward, live, I know it's sad but you can't give up and let sorrow defeat you. Let me see your smile, let me know you'll all be ok when I'm gone...

Thank

Empty Moment!

I always interpreted this song as what Lora wished she could've said to Jin in her dying moments, what could've saved him from centuries of suffering if her desperation to be remembered by the world didn't drag him down. Of course, the lyrics don't exactly support that theory in a lot of areas but it still makes it seem more poignant. Edit: Lora didn't want to be forgotten by the world, but she wanted to be forgotten by Jin, because she didn't want him putting on a tough expression and enduring many more years of pain as the guy everyone relied on. That's what the song is about.

I genuinely prefer the dlc over the main game

‘A Moment of Eternity’ hey? Well doesn’t that sound like Moebius?

xc2 is the best jrpg ive EVER played the rollacoster ride of the main game and the presquial story had me crying (the 2nd only game to do so i love the world the charators the setting and the lore i just love it so dam much
