What is the Zohar? (feat.  

bahahahaha

That is true. People always have a lot of questions about the world.

Haaa, took me a bit to get it, good one.

Always figured he was a triangle considering the trinity lol

_Also... To intelligent readers (who do 'not’ have a ‘pathological disregard for rationality and reality')_ I recommend researching 'narcissitic personality disorder' (NPD) / 'cluster-B'; and know that they are the 'root of all evil' (especially 'ESFJ/ESTJ-narcissits'; Myers-Briggs reference, look it up)! European 'ESFJ' are the worst personality type, and they are responsible for inventing 'racism' and colonization! It is in their neuro-psychology!! The are extremely 'manipulative' and often use 'looking pretty' to distract others from the witch's mind-games / mind-rape, e.g. gaslighting, playing the victim or damsel in distress, creating 'flying-monkeys', and paying others to attack (or at times kill) someone for her. When caught, she will use her minions as scapegoats. European ESFJ are notorious for this especially in a racist context, e.g. Elliott Till. ISFP (and ESFP) are the most complicit, narcissitic-enablers. ISFP also tend to be 'oblivious-codependants' (look up the definition). SUMMARY: Evil personality: ESFJ (ALL), ESTJ (cluster-b) [Secretly] Evil and narcissit-friendly gunts/flying-monkey: ISFP (ALL), ESFP (ALL). ☝️ALL of them are secretly emotionally-disturbed, hence their need to create conflict (and at other people's expense, truly evil). Spread the word! Thank you. 🙏🏾 PS: ESFJ are Amber Heard behind the public mask. ___________ #Save_Soil

Based, was raised Catholic and after playing gears decided to do extensive homework on religion in general. It’s amazing what you can grasp from the Xeno series knowing such a thing.

This is Gnosticism.

​@@Human_01making a call to rationality while using the MBTI is truely camp.

omg I feel the exact same way!! It’s so freaky and makes me not even want to look at it without preparing my mind for the intense rabbit hole this series is 😭😩

Don't Mess with the Zohar

@@CraigOrangeSodaDISCO DISCO!

But really, Xenoblade 3^2=9.

Ohoho it did

@@2yoyoyo1Unplugged The lore dump radio cometh.

Thanks so much to you and all the other lovely commenters! This was definitely one of my favorite videos to make and I definitely have more in the pipeline!

Dragonball confirmed connected

Man, I can see so many parallels in XC3 with Xenogears and Xenosaga; XC1 and XC2 seemed like they established universes with their respective stories, while XC3 tells the true story that Tetsuya Takahashi has always envisioned throughout the Xeno series, using the worlds of XC1 and XC2… The concept of fear, uncertainty, power, regret, human existence, and the will of moving on together hand in hand… I love how his ambition and themes from the past Xeno series is still evidently shown in XC3 through both a modern and nostalgic way :)

After playing 3 and knowing the broader concepts of the metaverse, Ouroboros is Monolith giving us mech combat back. That's awesome

@@pyrojinn Xenoblade X: "What am I, chopped liver?"

Origin was created using the crystal of Ontos (Alvis).

Well except maybe Saga II

Ok I’ll admit it I just wanted to say “Nintendo Polystation” because muh funny bootlegs

Agreed

I had no idea Xenobits was a Bamco character

Let me know if you would be interested in collaborating on my Abridged Series that intends to cover Xenoblade Chronicles 1, 2, X, and 3, and any and All extra stories.

Did this plan go somewhere?

@lpfan4491 it's still in the works I have just been extremely busy with life I should have some time soon starting around October

One of the greatest shows ever made.

@@XenoBits Agreed, plus every time sometime mentions god, I think of that quote. 😹

Please do not touch you will die.

If you touch the conduit... you disappear. Where do you go? Mira... 'Its something about this planet' 😂😂

@@PyraJord You actually get a direct trip to the spirit realm and essentially die. Mira may unironically be in Xenoblade's equivalent of the imaginary domain so that's not even that impossible. I've seen people theorize that Mira is a purgatory of sorts since the release of XCX.

@@XenoBits touch funny shape, fuck it we ball.

Expanding the lore through the Zohar Monolith Soft: "I sleep." Expanding the lore through a random radio Monolith Soft: "REAL SH*T!!!"

Forgive my ignorance, but how does Dead Space relate?

@@Bayonet1809 the black marker is an alien object which was buried for million of years was found in mexico. It is a source of limitless energy but it has the ability to re animate dead corpse. While the zohar is somewhat benevolent the marker is malevolent

@@Bayonet1809 although the black marker was destroyed by Michael altman humans were able to replicate them. They are called red markers

@@dhruvo100 I see, so red markers are kind of like Zohar Emulators.

@@Bayonet1809 yes

Origin is meant to be a sort of new man made Zohar of sorts. In many ways, it’s just as powerful as the conduit/Zohar since it literally made the world of aonios. Considering that it was suppose to absorb the souls of the people who would die when the universe merged, and the fear from those souls created Z, I’d said Z is more like a gnosis. His true presence never leaves origin either, so he’s like a fusion of gnosis from xenosaga and the wave existence of man made origin.

Exactly what I'm going

XC3 really butchered the lore and had the weakest story out of all the Xeno games.

In what way? The only mass-scale change to the lore that I remember is that the world of XC2 is simply a destroyed version of earth while it is another pocket dimension outside the regular universe in 3. And that makes sense, 2 and 3 were both conceptualized and mostly written alongside each other during the production of X, so any changes between them should infact be minimal(As opposed to Torna which was largely written after XC2, so it has a lot more inconsistencies to speak of.)

Here’s from the future. It’s definitely more like XB1. Darker in story, and tone, I’d say. It’s conveyed in the muted colors and more somber soundtrack

It's has the seriousness Gears has at times.

Imagine thinking Dunkey influences normal people against Xenoblade 3, especially after seeing how many copies it sold.

@@Iriseon He definitely is one of the bigger voices depicting the entire series as weeb trash which is ironic because of his videos was praising Xenogears. Xenoblade has a lot of the same themes and storytelling, but you won't get it at the surface level. You have to replay the games and think carefully about the overall themes and characters to understand what's being told. Even 2 a lot of the criticisms were people brushing it off on a surface level instead of trying to actually understand the story. 2 so far has introduced most of the core lore. 1 gave no context to Onthos until 2 gave it that context. Same for what is a Monado, that is also something clarified in 2. The Zohar, the multiverse, and concepts like how life data can be stored into something and given sentience (Blades), the importance of that life data on the evolution of living creatures. And also themes like how mankind is capable of stepping into the realm of gods and the implications of that. This is expanded on in 3 with Origin where mankind understood the concepts behind core crystals and gained the technology to use them. Also that life data can be recycled indefinitely and leave lasting impacts on the soul of that being (same stuff Takahashi did for Xenogears). How they were able to do this is something that'll likely be explained in the DLC. It's why people saying Aionios doesn't matter is silly. Do you even Takahashi? You have two worlds of people who went through countless reincarnation cycles where they were exposed to constant war and needing to fight for their lives. There will be consequences of that. What that will be, probably that'll be looked at in Xenoblade 4.

​@@24hr-GamingThe majority of the current lore, that is. You did not need context to Onthos when Onthos did not even exist yet. I am not saying that the post-XC2 lore is bad or even that the changes that 3 made to it are, but it is very clear that XC1 standalone was actually very diffrent. It was a remix of the concepts employed in Xenogears that is sometimes a direct inversion of what those concepts meant over there, while XC2 swapped it around for the series playing the parallels straight and the endresult differs.

this aged kinda poorly now that we have future redeemed 😭

@@vaporlav No, still hold up. As good as it was to have favorite characters in the party again, the side story leaves the player with more questions than answers! Yes, the easter eggs were fan faivorote, but the actual lore for XC3 was lacking and disappointing.

It was kinda always obvious for it to have nothing to do with the conduit. It left already and it does not make sense to say "yo, it suddenly returned". It is kinda like how a theoretical Xenogears EP6 would have nothing to do with it directly, because the whole point of EP5 was to get rid of it.

(feat. rudra7379)

Its a different person lmao. 😊

As opposed to the garbage that is the xenoblades? Gears was a masterpiece.

Imagine being either of those standpoints.
