Meeting Queen Melia Xenoblade Chronicles 3 

The difference between Melia and Nia cracks me up. Melia is everything you would imagine a queen would be. She wakes up all majestically, waxes eloquent about the nature of the world and its people, then announces she is off to liberate her castle before teleporting away in a flash of light. Nia... Nia does her best. Bless her.

"I would think not. Might you have forgotten who I am?" the expression on her face says it all. If only they knew she fought God.

It's weird when you remember what Melia looked like when the first Xenoblade released on the Wii, and now she's looking like _this_ all these years later. Talk about a major upgrade.

*Raise your hands if you thought that they were gonna explain that little nod Melia and Riku had with one another*

Melia's first words after her capture; "I...had a long dream..." Nia's First Words after awakening; "That...Bastard, Struck me good he did"

Goddamnn Melia design is so much better than the original. She's freakin beautiful.

4:30 That reading had no right being as perfect and smooth as it was.

I'm surprised none of you noticed that Melias weapon is her World Ender staff from FC but upgraded

Melia has become so sparking beautiful and it makes me so happy seeing her and Nia again.

the Eryth Sea and Alcamoth remix makes these scenes hit so much harder

Melia: I had a long dream Nia: *that bastard...!* Literal twins amirite

Loving the full "Goth Goddess" vibe

Wow she looks like a real queen

Melia just became the Zelda of the story.

I cried when i heard my favorite song from XC1 become her theme. Eryth Sea 🥰🥰

we know who she is and that is the slayer of superbosses

Got to this part last night, wanted to come and just comment on how absolutely beautiful Melia has become.

Melia looks so good this game omg, her glow up looks so good. Tbh her appearance in the first game felt like she looked both young and old at the same time. I think her future connected design fixed it up a lot too but not as good as this. But also it’s disappointing that again she still doesn’t get a good future, she’s instead held prisoner for a thousand years. And to top it off she gets barely any screen time in the ending, she has a conversation with the party then dips out to save the castle. She was talked about so much the whole game and was usually the only queen that the party talked about until after they discovered that the “queen” was a robot and when they went to the city bc Nia was the one who sealed herself away before giving a key to someone. I’m glad Nia was safe but why does Melia keep getting the short end of the stick. Nia seemed to be the one who had all the information about origin and the key to numerous things. Is it bc Agnians are much stronger and Nia esp was a power beyond Moebius’s reach that they could never capture her and why she eluded them? I know she had a place that could go invisible but there were times she wasn’t on it that Moebius could appear out of nowhere? Maybe I’m forgetting something, I did enjoy this game but it just felt too rushed and the story could have done with way more chapters and being cooked a bit longer. While yes what we have here is a good story at the same time it feels like it’s missing a lot of information. But anyway, it’s upsetting that yet again Melia just can’t seem to catch a break. She couldn’t speak up and admit her feelings for someone and in the end accept her peace with it and is happy for Fiora and Shulk which good for her. But the main story for XC1 once she’s introduced is just one bad hand after another for her with watching her dad die, as well as all the telethia business and watching her brother turn into one. Future connected was a good story and set up Melia for a better path and gave a bit of hope for the future. The XC3 happens and for 95% of the story she’s a prisoner and barely has any voice lines. I mean I guess it makes sense to trap her in a place that’s almost impossible to access. Don’t get me wrong I’m really glad Nia got such a decent role in the story even though for the majority of the game she was never discussed until it was discovered that the “queen” was really a robot. I’m glad we got to rescue her and that she got to tell us about what happened, Nia’s such a good character and I’m really happy she was the Agnian queen even though the role doesn’t suit her personality. Melia’s also one of my favourite characters though as she was who kept me focused on the main game bc I struggled so hard to get into the first game bc the chapters before she’s an official party member are so boring, it took me 2 years to get through it but once she was in my party she was the only character keeping me invested bc I kept hoping that maybe something good would happen for her but it never does. I feel so bad for Melia, the poor woman just can’t seem to get a better hand dealt in life lmao. At least Nia got a good ending after xc2, her feelings were requited in the end lol.

4:57 Every Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Player after what Melia just said and did

Idk why but somehow Melia's face in this game actually reminds me of Jenna Coleman

I never knew before that Melia was played by Jenna Coleman(who’s known for playing Clara Oswald from Doctor Who)!😄🤩😎👌

“I WILL NOT LET THE THRONE BE SULLIED”

4:51 Who the spark is Riku. I'm going to assume he's the nopon sage in disguise because that'd be funny After fr. I can't believe it was that simple

Huh? Melly was already my queen in xenoblade 1. Melia Best Girl!

Melia is that really you

Melia hasn’t showered for thousands of years imagine the feet smell

Well at that’s something surprising 😅😏 I Hope 😂😂😂 but it’s not funny tho but I’m glad that Melia she’s definitely hear In Xenoblade™️ 3 and I saw the Voice Actress for Melia explaining this that she’ll be back into this game In Xenoblade Chronicles™️ 3.

Kinda wish you didnt put the spoiler in the title of the video this early after the games release. Pretty much figured this was the case but with Xenoblade having some amazing twists it does suck to get them spoiled like this.

Melia a looker 👀

THE DLC BETTER EXPLAIN RIKU DAMMIT!! (....Because he's my absolute favourite.)

She’s really pretty…wow

she DOES sound like a queen

Ngl I’m loving Melia’s hair in 3!

Her Name is Zelda

What was that nod Riku gave Melia. Just who the hell is this guy.

Does this scene makes it in the top 10 xenoblade chronicles cut scenes

Her name is Fernanda

melia have 3 child: ethel, noah, and eunie

Whoa, check out Melia

Are there any Shulk references or straight up references to the first game

The moment I realised that Melia, before she had started to teleport back to the castle, and Riko traded nods, I knew that Riko isn't just a regular nopon. There is a secret hidden within Riko. Perhaps Alvis had disguised as a nopon after XB1 (and XB2 because they happen at the same time).

Well , at least she didn't slap anyone this time

You know who are you talking to? Im the queen betch kekaww

i wonder how much time passed between xenoblade 1/2 & 3 in the end credits in the picture Nia had it looked like a few years at least so i wonder where Rex, shulk and the other were? were they still alive somewhere and were just frozen or since both Nia and Melia have longer lifespans then the others did they pass away already but if so where is dromarch?

I didn’t like Xenoblade Chronicles 1 from a gameplay standpoint…like at all, but the story and characters kept me going through the entire experience so even I cracked a smile seeing Melia again!

Why did she look at Riku?

Shulk must be turning in his grave after having wasted what Melia felt for him.

4:46 The F was that about?

Bird lady

How can you play Xenoblade 3 already it's not even out yet

As I uavent played it I have two questions is shulk alive and or in this game.... And how many years after 1-2 is this

XBC3 connects XBC, XBCX and XBC2?

that staff/spear looks awfully a lot like the primordial jade winged spear from genshin

hey she even predicted Putin :p (about 1:35... fight Z, yadda yadda) 😅

It’s too bad they barely explain anything about the story.

She don't look like melia the prefer the old one

This dialogue is just weird tbh

this game's writing is so bad lmao. why did they make her spout horrid lines like 'there is some morebius within you too' and 'everything that exists is reality'. melia is not some stuck up ethereal princess, i dont understand how they allowed nia to go back to her normal self (i dont even get why she was all queen-y in the first place) when melia is stuck with bs anime philosophy reciting.

The best part of seeing Nia and Melia again is seeing that neither of them have truly changed, they’re still the same lovable characters we met all those years ago

The literal definition of “Aged like wine”.

She looks so refined and elegant. Then you realize this is the same girl that never discharged her elementals, always forgets to stab before kicking, and leaked the game and her being in it 8 months before reveal.

These british VAs make everything sounds and feel so posh and lush. I'm digging it.

I'm glad that Jenna Coleman returned to play Melia

4:30 "Your Majesty, shall we escort you to safety?" "lol no, bye bitches!" **poof**

There's a chance Riku was once one of Melia's closest friends and knights. He kinda gives off that expression of being a mentor/father figure to the heroes, and his knowledge of the Sword of the End was amazing, why he had it, and how he was as he was, most of him was a mystery, but he remains one of the greatest heroes in the story.

Melia is a very classy bird lady =3 Also her theme appears to be a subtle remix of Eyrth Sea XD

I can't believe Shulk friendzoned her

My god, she is so majestic. I love her

4:47 I’m really suspicious now. Who is this Nopon?

‘Simulacrum’ is referring to her robot, by the way. But honestly when I first played I thought simulacrum was a fancy word for the mind's eye, like the one where if you don't aphantasia can think images. But I guess it is Melia's tradition to have such confusing words that either the subtitler forgot the difference between “choose” and “select” back in Xenoblade 1. That, or subtitles were already inserted and Jenna Coleman misread, but this wasn't fixed in DE either way.

Melia keeps being stunning in every appearance huh

Clara Oswald's best incarnation

wow melia we meet again

Jenna Coleman's voice is magnificent!

Both Melia and Nia's more grown up looking designs in Xeno 3 are sooo damn beautiful and I loved hearing the original VAs returning, especially famed UK actress Jenna Coleman :-)

Best Waifu

Um, is it me, or does Melia's cell(?) look like Lavos from Chrono Trigger? I know that sounds random but, if you look at it at the start of the video, it does bear a resemblance to the parasite. Most likely a coincidence, but I thought I'd point it out.

Sena: "Oh, uh, will you need an escort...?" Melia: **grins** "You kidding me? Just who the hell do you think I am?!"

I keep imagining Melia returning to her castle being like Big weld from Robots returning to his company.

Z

Why do they all gasp one after the other omfg

they keep screwing her character over... smh

pon fantasy

And people were idiot's thinking Nia was in the game. *LOL* don't you feel stupid now.
