In one sidequest, we find out that the Miran water happens to be rich in a certain "type of bacteria". According to a friend of mine who studied in biology, there are bacteria that can store foreign DNA and use it to evolve...and what happened to the Lifehold? Water leaked in and we just happen to see Lao waking up on a beach, near water. THEORY: Mira allows humans to be reborn in its oceans. And water is often a symbol for rebirth and regeneration. This is why Lao is still alive.
Nopons have always been a bit of a joke, so it's unlikely. Plus I personally like to think that humans won't bother redesigning the controls to work with a xenoform. Elma, L and Celica don't need this because they are already borderline human.
I know I say this ALL THE TIME, but gosh, I miss the world of X. I wanna go back to Mira so bad. It's the first game world I completely lost myself in for sooo long.
Saaaame! It makes me wish that they would give us another game in the world of X, or at least a port so I can play it again without having to get out my Wii U
YEAH someone finally mentioned the possibility of Cross being a J Body. He's waaay too OP even if he's just the player character and Nagi seemed WAAAY too insistent to get him to join BLADE. No way a person who can learn every technique in the game just by observing his partner's skills can be a normal mim
Cross is either a military grade project to create combat ready soldiers on the fly as those are in dire need or he is a creation of Mira. Nobody seems/claims to knows who he really is, not even himself, yet he is a combat master with all weapons and takes to piloting Skells like he has done it forever. If he is a military project his pod could have just soft landed after the white whale broke up and was considered lost, nobody but the highest branches of the existing government would know what he truly is. Not having any past makes sense with this as artificial weapons/soldiers do not need such things, their only reason for existing is to defend humanity.
Another thing that could be expanded upon (probably to be answered at the same time as what Mira is) are all the signs of ancient life scattered all throughout the regions. The wrecked rings dotting Oblivia, the ruins in Primordia, the castle/mining facility in Cauldros (you can be sure that the Ganglion didn't build all that in such a short time)...I'd also want to know what the deal is with the Telethia.
Thanks for these videos. Zelda theory channels are a dime a dozen, but a story based series like Xenoblade hardly gets any attention. I really wish Square and Namco would just sell Xenogears and Xenosaga to Nintendo so Monolithsoft can unite those universes. It's not like Namco and Square are using those ips.
@@voidninja4936 It's money. Square doesn't want to give Xenogears back to Tetsuya Takahashi so he can unite exponentially improve his Xeno franchise, which already rivaling Final Fantasy franchise at the moment.
Something that I realized: What about Lugalbanda (I don't remember how was the name), the last quimeroid that escaped the lifehold. It's description says that it would reproduce as fast as it could. And in the place you fight him you can find several "eggs" hanging from the cealing. It would mean that it started to expand on Mira (sorry if my english is not clear, it's not my first language)
Another reason there's so much love for X is that it's the closest Xenoblade so far to working fully within the constraints of the hardware. Xenoblade 1 was a beautiful game, if you imagine all the extra polygons and pixels. Xenoblade 2 was a beautiful game, if you imagine all the information missing from the textures in that potentially breathtaking scenery (I suspect the textures were done before the decision was made to cap the res at 720p), and good lord, you don't want to play this in handheld for the visuals outside of cutscenes. XCX, in contrast, sacrificed pop-in distance and loading times, and the textures were clearly designed with 720p in mind. In 1/2, my eyes want more. In XCX, I just get lost gawking at the world and think it's weird that I can't get hit by cars. Though yeah, the sequel hook of an ending is the main reason I want a sequel.
Yeah, but it would be hard, because of only having three games with not many characters in most, would be hard, but if we get X2 and 3, I think then it would work.
Two things I thought of- Why is L not effected by Mira's universal translation thing? And what, if any, connection does Mira have to Bionis and Mechonis? Because there's ARE too many references for there to be no connection (namely Tatsu mentioning Frontier Village and him mentioning Hom-Homs.)
@@Dr.Farewell No, L isn't effected. He learned the English he did from studying the Lifehold Core, and it's made clear in one of his heart-to-hearts he's not able to directly speak to the Ma-Non and had to rely on gestures, dance, and other movements to communicate with them.
I have a crazy theory that Mira is (BIG HONKING SPOILERS) actually build from a collective data dump inside of the Zohar/Conduit. The Conduit would be the point where each of the worlds connect, and Mira the simulated environment where it compiles. Hence why Nopon know about the Homs and Frontier Village, everyone understands the same language, and the Ganglion can't get off-world without getting dragged back down. The Lifehold units are shaped like the Conduit because they were attempts at recreating it to store the human passenger's minds on super computers. They survive without them, because they are still inside a computer, and Cross wasn't a human of Earth but an entirely new existence pieced together from collected data.
I think the reason why we aren't going to see an X remaster anytime soon could be that they want to fix the game up more so it works and looks better with the engine improvements they've done with 2 and Torna, and so it fits better with the X sequel. Also I think we are going to be getting the original X with its sequel packaged as one game which is what's been happening with a lot of Wii U sequels on Switch. It could be two separate story lines or the sequel's story could be integrated into the main game's story as something you do in tandem or after you continue where X left off. Though I think X's sequel will probably be set on another set of continents on Mira, this time with a more artificial feel to them as if someone planned it out, with a different White Whale and city group. We will probably learn a lot about Mira from this game and there might be some cool revelations that blow our minds too, who knows at this point though. After both stories are complete I would kind of expect a smaller final story with both groups working together and finding the Conduit and the Great One, which is probably a reincarnation of Claus or a decedent of Shulk or Rex from another dimension. Pretty ludicrous, but it's Monolith Soft so I wouldn't be surprised if the Great One is somehow heavily linked to the other Xenoblade games in some fashion. Also I totally didn't notice that the Vita was in the fight over Earth, kind of adds more questions as to how it ended up on Mira. Also how did the Ganglion get stuck on Mira as well? Also I think Lao might be a Testament like figure in the sequel, the black knight has a very striking similarity to the Testaments and Lao might team up with him to become a Knight himself.
Two things. First, the Mysterious Figure's model is an all black version of the GGG (one of the arms manufacturers) medium armor, just modified to have a hood. Secondly, I believe the J in J-Bodies might be a reference to Jungian Psychology, this is where the Persona series gets its symbolism. So maybe J-Bodies are AI that can change personality on the fly, or people with their memories of earth wiped and the people in charge just watch how they act.
@@shieldlesscap6124 its implied that the Telethia has been there for a very long time and has thus become like that. At the end of FC exactly one Telethia goes into the portal which can most likely be the one present on Mira since Telethia are not natural creatures but artificial creations
@@sidharthbommineni7780 Hey Im late and I don't know if i'll get a response but what you're trying to say is that the breach that was found in FC is litterally connected to Xenoblade X ?
@@sidharthbommineni7780 Also i'm not sure when does a Telethia goes in the breach during FC ? Am I forgetting something here ? Or could please remind me of when it happens ?
My theory about linking it all together is the Zohar. What if the reason got the two alien races at the beginning of x was fighting each other over Earth, was because both races found out that the humans had discovered the Zohar or the conduit if you're not versed in Xeno lore. And wanted it for themselves. Considering Earth's level of Technology was so primitive to theirs the alien races would have been the biggest threat to each other over claiming the Zohar after the battle it would be easier to take it from the humans. At this point the white whale departs Earth just as Klaus activates his experiment. And the white whale was flung to Mira during the dimensional transfer that created Chronicles 1 universe.
The only problem with that is that their is no reference to any conduit discovery, and as Luxin said in a previous video, the space elevator is not seen in X.
Nah, those are two separate battles going on and nothing to do with each other, also the conduit made the artifices so if the were connected you would see those fighting the ghosts and ganglion instead of skells which were made by Lyn's parents and Elma.
@@Dr.Farewell whos to say that the saveroite rebels weren't a rogue faction of humans who believe that we should just give the aliens the Zohar. And that is why you see the people and the Beanstalk fighting against them and not the aliens. Meanwhile the aliens are fighting each other over rights to claiming the Zohar. Elma meanwhile is working with a different governmental faction of Earth in planning an escape from the chaos she knows is about to go down.
The hype train is not ready yet. I spent several hundred hours in X and i want to do again, but with my friends, on the Switch. Also i do hope that we'll have some answers, too much mystery.
Ghosts. Begins that exist on a different plane of existence possibly... Gnosis. Beings that need to be drawn into our dimension to be harmed. .... Interesting correlation, no? I really do feel like X is the story of what happened to Earth/Lost Jerusalem, Considering the idea of the Dolls/Skells/Gears carries through this particular side of the series.
Reimagining of it is possible as monolith is known for taking themes , concepts and even story beats that didn’t or barely made it in a title to a future game they are making.
And where did he get 'Bigger than legendary Frontier Village big'? ...It just occurred to me that out of the entire XCX cast, Tatsu has the highest chance of being Ontos.
@@SenorSalty It's a pretty bizarre easter egg to randomly throw in though. Especially Tatsu's reaction to himself saying it being "Oh I don't know why I said that"
For me it feels that we've only seen half of mira, but thats just how I feel... In a sequel we could see larger settlements outside of NLA. and perhaps the discovery of this other half of mira with the mims being released from the limited reach of the lifehold, but this world is so god damn large, yet feels like somethings missing.
8:42 Conversely, they could have been survivors from Xenoblade 2's Zohar event, or another universe's equivalent. In other words, they didn't seed Earth with human life, they themselves were humans from an existing Earth a couple realities over.
There doesn't seem to be much room for that, going by Xenoblade 1 and 2's endings taken together. Though, AFAIK, all classical humans were turned into goo monsters, murdered by goo monsters, or trans-dimensionally bisected and/or sent to XC1's world, so there's more than a little room for further retconning to make it a little less bleak. The Zohar did just kinda zoop out of existence to some third place after all. Come to think of it, humans just really suck at surviving the end of the world in these games.
@lolsmhtbqh Well, you just convinced me to do a New Game+++ run of XB2. Thanks! Edit: Probably just a plain new game, actually. It's a little hard to have fun when I'm OP right out the gate.
3:03 Does anyone still believe that KOS-MOS is Elma? I remember it being a semi-popular theory back when XCX came out, but I think we all collectively accepted that XC2 conclusively deconfirmed this.
I'm very late to the party but I just completed Xeno X and was left with a crap tons of unanswered questions so I end up here ... Now I'm even more confused with even more unanswered questions thanks Luxin ! XD
Why L, Celica and true Elma can use the overdrive ? This is the most ludo-narrative dissonance I ever saw. Why do others human in the game do not use it ?
@@parusastringent7073 well humans are not biomechanical beings, being a cyborg makes more sense to have an overdrive dispositive, and i think its implied that everyone has access to it, but i like to think its like us real people they struggle to understand the mechanics so it no common use gor all For the other non biomechanical members i have a hinted possible explanation
@@angelaguerrero3808 Well, the game treats mimeosome as human. Technically, they are not even, cause every human are dead in X. There remain only their mind and we don't know if we are talking about their brain here, or an AI that copy their original mind. So... mimeosome are in fact android, but I say human cause specify all this is a pain in the ass for a simple comment where it is not even the point to speak what humans are in this game. The fact simply is, the overdrive mechanic is unused in the stroy and side content of this game. There is only Negi that uses it in his side quests. But, what about Celica and L ? You have an idea you say ?
I love X speculation, but it's one of those games where you need top be very careful with how much you read into it. The original plot was very different, with Lao being the original main character. A lot of it was changed halfway through development to allow for the character creation system. Also, when do we get to eat Tatsu? That joke absolutely never got old and I would love to hear it another couple dozen times.
Damn, I have all these questions and more! I 100% agree with the idea of Cross being a J-Body like Yelv, like, that's the first thing I thought when completing his last affinity mission. I also thought Cross and Yelv's partner could have been the same person, just cloned and modified a bit. Anyway, you missed one...what is up with L? He shows up, acts weird, talks funny, has a cool design and...nothing. No backstory, species unknown, no village, his affinity missions focus on things we already know...bummer. It's sad because if you look at his concept art, he was designed with the idea of having an "origin form" that looks like the devil himself, which ties with his name being an acronym of "Lucifer". If you want to go with Mira being a metaphor for Hell or Purgatory or whatever, him being a sort of fallen angel would have fit too! Sadly we got nothing. What a waste
The year is 2021: There is still no sign of either a Xenoblade Chronicles X Switch Port or of a sequel and we've lost contact with Monolith Soft weeks ago.
dont know if youll see this but. tatsu mantions a snowy area on mira but there is no snowy area. but you know where there is? bionis arm. tatsu mentions hom hom and frontir village. is mira's nopon race even native to mira?
Replaying the game for a third playthrough right now. Chapter 11 Lao does say something interesting. And it sounds like he basically suicide at least once before before the game starts or maybe even during the game while off screen. Why? Because he seems to know some stuff about death on mira. "Even if i was to shoot myself in the head. I would just wake up in another mim" (not exactly words for words but general thing that he says - been some weeks now since i did chapter 11) So either Lao is a J body, or he is a mim that already commited suicide but mira brought him back like at the end of the game. Like he is not allowed to die. This would also explain why he commits the actions he does during the game cause for him that is the only solution left to truly die from his knowledge and pov.
What is that dragon that saved you when you were picking up the Vita? Why did it save you? If the key to defeating ganglion is in human DNA then how did humanity lose the battle at earth?
Im surprised Luxin dint bring up L'cirufe or simply L . Hes seemingly the only one of his species on Mira but has been there for some time & although his misuse of idioms & sayings are funny, it implies that he is not being translated by Miras wierd "auto translate magic". But is in fact speaking the same language as evrybody else. Hope we see the xcX crew back with a port or cameo like in Xc2's dlc
I like to see Mira as the new world Shulk and Rex created in the end of they're respective games and that the land where X takes place, is another continent of the same planet. The Telethia you see in X are the remnant Telethia that Shulk didn't or couldn't account for while recreating the world. What do you think?
dosnt work..Rex dosnt CREATE a new world, the architect simply finishes the Terraforming of EARTH(the planet that is destroyed in X you remember?) and Shulk, yes he created a new world, btu hsi world is NOT the world of XC2s ending, its a different world entirely
I wonder if they will be able to tie in X to the non-X timeline To create basically a complete Perfect Works finally instead of having two different separate timelines each telling part of the perfect works separately and in their own separate ways
that is still not possible.. for multiple reasons.. firstly.. the world at the end of XC 2 IS EARTH!!!!! its confiremd to be earth, the space elevator is IN america, they did not create a new world there but the architect FINISHED the terraforming, nothign more, and the world at the end of XC 1 is with high likelihood NOT the same world as XC2 Ending
Here are some vid ideas: are the Blades2 weapon actually “usable”? exploring how one would actually fight with Xenoblades weapon, their real life counterparts, etc. Something like Shadversity or Metatron would do.
I have not yet played XB2, so don't spoil me on it please. When X was first spoiled, BLADE had a different acronym. "Beyond the Logos: Artificial Destiny Emancipators" Do you know what that is? Beyond the Logos can be interpreted as "Beyond the Faces," drawing a parallel between the Skells and Face Mechon. Artificial Destiny Emancipators is the Monado. My thought is that X takes place in a different timeline as Xenoblade, where Claus is attempting to kill the two warring alien factions. Considering Elma's description of them, Claus could be referring to them when he says that "only a god could perform such a miracle." It is entirely possible that the Ganglion are aware of the possibility of the universe restart and are trying to stop it.
@lolsmhtbqh Yeaaah I need to get around to that. I will say that Revelations is more about the second coming of Christ and the judgement of the world, not its destruction. I decided to play Torna before 2, to get a unique experience. I'll get around to XB2 soon.
If I remember correctly, time travel is actually a thing, so it could be they were modern humans who time travelled back to the start of the universe, while humanity evolved normally on Earth
You ever just add a video to your Watch Later list, pause for a second, and then realize you have nothing better to do then watch it so watch it right then anyway? That’s what this video was for me.
My wild imagination : Mira is a living being that trapped anything that happened enter to it's territory or even worse hunted down every spaceship that come across it's territory. The reason everyone still alive and hospitalized inside Mira "stomach" is to balance the life and death energy just like Yin and Yang, deaths required to giving a life and living being are required as stock food to consume in this case dead by natural cause or smashed by monter, giving back death energy to the planet, and so on. But not everything got it's form back, in rare case Lao got his body back, maybe Mira playing god looking through Lao's potential to cause more destruction in the future to gives more death energy back to the planet. Also as "God" in it's own realm, Mira could easily kill million inside it's stomach to fulfill it's hunger, but as living being Mira needs "new food" not recycled one (the one that got revived from death) what I'm talking about lol
Mira having its own soul like bionis and mechonis actually sounds somewhat believable, or maybe it could act in a similar way to Origin in that it could accept a host Elma's partner making another Lao to suit some sort of goal sounds pretty baller and would really pump some meaning into that last scene
You'd think they would have 10-hour DLC explaining who this black night is and why he's there. You don't think that there would be some sort of explanation on why the minion sounds were still active but the mainframes database was destroyed on impact.
I think it’s possible that J-bodies are AIs designed to be as strong as Black Knight. If Cross is also a J-Body, that explains why Nagi is so interested in getting them to join BLADE and having them partner with Elma, Black Knight’s old partner, possibly to train them into a “new” Black Knight of sorts. As for Yelv, I think it’s possible that Black Knight was his “partner”, and his mim was destroyed at some point. Yelv could be an older attempt at replicating Black Knight, but instead of training to be like him, Yelv was designed to track down his body and see if any information can be gained from it. The idea that Black Knight’s mim was destroyed isn’t too big of a leap in logic, because the Lao cutscene is proof in and of itself that mims can come back after dying. Not only that, but thinking about it more, the Lao cutscene takes place in a desert that could be Oblivia, which also happens to be where all of the pieces of Yelv’s partner is. If Black Knight was killed and he woke up in Oblivia because Mira revived him for whatever reason, it would make sense that he of all people would be there when the same thing happened with Lao.
My guess in regards to the samaarans is that they became gods thanks to the conduit and like the Xenoblade x universe is like a polytheistic world. Mira may be one of them. It's a loose idea but that's my guess
During The Architect`s retelling of the past, he mentions that core crystals were meant to replace the human brain, sound like an integral part of building synthetic bodies, what if the explosion that we see in the intro is actually caused by the activation of the Conduit?, and we are actually seeing several conflicts at once, the one with the aliens in one one hand and a rebel group trying to get control of the conduit in the other end of the conflict.
The conduits activation would have left humans in a state where they couldn’t possibly have been coordinated enough to have escaped earth, and we know the conduit activation can’t have been AFTER the Ghost vs. Ganglion fight because there wouldn’t be any earth at all. Both events definitely fit together somehow but I don’t think they could have been the same event.
If they come out with a sequel I'd like Tatsu to be inexplicably missing until you find a secret grave titled "dancing onion". Then the new best mystery will be... how well did he taste?
I feel like Elma is either a Wrothian or Saamarian. If you compare her character to the NPC that gives you gold to rush, who I’m pretty sure is a Wrothian, they appear to be the same character. Saamarian would just make sense cause they don’t want humans to die. Also, Mims have rings around their eyes, and Lao has rings around his eyes at the end, so he’s probably still a Mim
This game at least needs a port so that way we can play it 1080p 60fps. Also I guarantee that this game would've sold way more copies if the Wii U wasn't a dumpster fire.
@@somebodyyoudontknow3980 now I think about it my computer can't even run at 60fps. It has a GTX 960. I'm not sure if Bolton makes a difference but the 60fps patch on Vulcan just makes the game flicker. It's the 40-45 FPS at Best in most areas. Also emulation isnt as good as original hardware in some cases. That would definitely change if I get a rtx 3060ti but we all know that's not going to happen because scalpers. I wouldve bought one a log time ago otherwise.
Words words words. Dammit Luxin! I’m still on XC1. Would you recommend playing both games at once to speed up the process? Btw, I just got to sword valley and did the midboss there. just to get an idea of where i am right now, if you or someone else answers this question
They're both super long and their combat is similar yet different enough to get mixed up. I'd suggest doing one after another. You're about halfway through XC1 anyway.
Is it just me or does anyone else wonder why L talks the way he does? He always uses We, Us, ect when he talks about himself Now this could be him just not understanding the language which they use as a joke throughout the game but it’s only when he uses figure of speeches or similes and the like
I think L is actually a bunch of different beings in just one body, and they all have a mind of their own. He tells us there are multiple people studying the human technology, and we believe these "people" are part of his race, but we never see them throughout the entire game. It seems L is unique, like a lifeform that's actually a bunch of other smaller lifeforms all working together as one being.
Xenoblade Chronicles X is a lot like nier gestalt/automata in terms of story. The Mimeasomes are like the gestalts in nier Gestalt and the fact that the humans are dead and all that remains are the milestones much like the androids is like nier automata. Of course there's probably other ship that escaped where the life hold core survived also they dont explain the phenomenon behind mira. How is it that human languages are the same as no pain and ganglion languages and also how is it that the menu some survived if the life hold mainframe's database was destroyed on impact. Most luxurious if they can use the genetic material to create human babies and have the moms raise them.
The mysterious skell fighter hero could possibly be Elma's old flame. According to the Xenoblade wixi, (Here's the link) xenoblade.fandom.com/wiki/Elma Elma had a special relationship with a young Japanese man, and during the surprise attack after the two years of drifting in space, "Elma repelled the alien bio-weapons together with the young Japanese man, before crashing onto a nearby planet. The Skell the two of them had been riding had been blown outside of the ship at that time. However, the young man opened the hatch just before, and threw Elma back towards the White Whale." Does anyone make sense of that?
God plz monolith... Plzzz give us a sequal. I mean to get a sequal without the first game being on the switch is kinda weird so maybe well get a port and a sequal but like we neeeed this
