EVERY Connection to XC1/2 in Future Redeemed - Xenoblade Chronicles 3 DLC

[@SparksOpus]

Sorry that you had to wait so long for this video :/ But now it's as complete as my knowledge goes. There are a few things that i threw in at the very end, which i found out about later, so it may be not as high quality as the rest there, but atleast the connections are shared ^^ Hope you'll enjoy the video!

[@XenoPon2]

I love Rex's Re-introduction, So many references ❤ But the one reference that so many seem to miss is that The moment rex joins the fight/pary the Mobius fuses with the two ferronis's Mimicking/referencing Aion the Final boss in Xenoblade Chronicles 2 Both are machine's with a Black half and a White half with a purple core Malos/Mobius The purple core being the only part with a living organic being in/on this war machine. It's a really cool way to show how fare rex has come since the end of Xenoblade Chronicles 2.

[@Ded_Pat]

One thing I haven’t seen mentioned anywhere else is that after arriving at the cave blocked off by boulders, Rex starts his dialogue “And arrived” which is what he says after fast traveling in 2

[@lemmyxpro]

Turns out, Lucky Seven's name is a reference to Fiora, (through the fan nickname Seven used to avoid spoiling people) and Fiora is the one inside Lucky Seven.

[@Starfloofle]

Considering she inherited Meyneth's will and thus her Monado (until it was stolen by Zanza) I could honestly believe it though.

[@lemmyxpro]

@@Starfloofle WDYM, "could believe it"??? It's been confirmed by Takahashi himself that Fiora is in Lucky Seven!

[@derpycats8072]

9:51 I think someone needs to check on the kid requesting “Tomorrow with You”

[@sonicrunn3r895]

The fact I did notice a good amount of these hidden details, I really loved every little detail crammed in here. I actually cried at the Gem Man reference, especially the “To me” reference, it truly got to me how well they handled such a meme line

[@nandreshiram2269]

Future Redeemed was like a massive love letter to the first two games, makes you appreciate all the little details so much!

[@Nobrev]

I also love the detail where Shulk integrated Dunban's Blossom Dance into Monado Buster and adopted his overall fighting style after losing use of his right arm like Dunban did.

[@razzierageakaraven7920]

When I noticed that I freaked out, I'm such a big Dunban fan

[@theinfinityscout3289]

Something I just thought of: when Noah & co. interlink they see each other’s past memories. If the same is true for Matthew & co, that means Nikol and Glimmer would’ve learned exactly who Shulk and Rex were

[@SirStrikeFreedom]

Reminder: Zeke was such a bad ass that he ended up getting a badass theme and it was remembered even at the end of the world Petition to make Bringer of Chaos the new Giga Chad theme song

[@marc-ap4699]

The Future Redeemed radio's channels are all based on each Xeno game's release year. From Xenogears in 1998 to Xenoblade 3 in 2022

[@RdtSquid]

If you hear correctly, the Final Boss Theme shares some remix elements of the older games including Xenosaga as well. To the Xenosaga References, the Symbol on the Radio is the Vector Symbol, the Main Company doing most stuff in Xenosaga. And since the references to X those are mentioned by the newsgirl in the Radio are barely just references for fanservice, she as well mentioned Dmitri Yurief, one of the main antagonists from Saga directly, telling us the Saga and Blade are connected too. But thatsa again theorie stuff. Oh and, the very last scene with the universes are colliding again, you see a blue light, thats maybe as well a Xenosaga reference, where (spoiler) KOS-MOS floating at the end over Lost Jerusalem (the Earth).

[@24hr-Gaming]

The curry quest in Colony 9 is a callback to the same curry quest you do in Colony 9 in Xenoblade 1. The woman who runs the canteen is the granddaughter of the man who ran the curry stand. So the radio stuff can be broken down like this. White Whale - Ship from Xenoblade X Project Exodus, Dimitri Yuriev, the Vector Logo - These are all things from Xenosaga. If you go back to Xenoblade 2 the logo on the pod Kosmos comes out of when you summon her is the Vector logo. Philadelphia-class ship - The ship that was destroyed in the opening of Xenogears was a Philadelphia-class ship.

[@Cookie_Luggi]

I love all the connections and references. Future redeemed is an amazing sendoff to the klaus saga. And i even managed to wake up a few people when getting to klaus world... I cant even explain how good the xenoblade series is, and im so happy to have played this dlc. And some "out of bounds" videos would be really interesting. Also i realized something yesterday. Sena, might be brighids and aegeons daughter. Aegeons skin is dark and brighids is light, senas is a mix between dark and light. And of course there is her hair, and the aegeon like lines on her body. And here is my last piece of evidence. Aegeon has "superstrengh" in xc2 and sena is crazy strong. Stay safe everyone!

[@uncleshithole9127]

Damn never thought of that connection

[@TaliesinMyrddin]

I loved finding the Satorl Marsh king's room where the Inga are in Aurora Shelf. I was streaming XC1 for one friend and XC3 DLC for another friend on the same day and wound up dying in the same room 12 hours and millennia apart.

[@MrEsarty]

I got to FR a little later as I wanted to refresh myself on the first 2 titles, but I feel as though Riku could've been referring to Kino as his dad given he also traveled with Melia, being a handy craftspon, and also green

[@TaliesinMyrddin]

A few I noticed you missed: there's a ruin of a throne room from Satorl Marsh in the middle of Aurora Shelf, where there's even a unique monster Inga You can see the roots of the World Tree under where Maktha Woods were in the base game I feel like Shulk saying "Let's make this the decider" to Rex at one stage was a callback to some character shouting that during combat

[@catalyst539]

where are those world tree roots

[@TaliesinMyrddin]

@@catalyst539 If you stand on the secret area behind the anti-air gun next to colony 9 and lookout across the void, they're about halfway to the right between the water and the mor'ardain titan, hanging off the bottom of the map

[@katzenniagormotti4237]

Ultra krasses Video! Überraschenderweise war da sogar viel mit dabei, welches mir nicht bewusst war.

[@MadaoAU]

On the music part, was literally every single of my reactions to music and every single reference. I love this way of doing this, teasing you around it without telling you, like you getting rewarded for playing the series. Absolutely adore this DLC, started my journey with Xenoblade 1 on March and finally finished today.

[@mickzero]

More out of bounds stuff would be great, can't really see gormot or mor ardain too well from anywhere as well as the surrounding areas which are probably mixes of bionis and the landmass made of old titans from the end of XC2

[@Death36669]

The gem man is one of the smallest references , but it’s so good

[@lys5358]

as always, a great video, please continue 🙏

[@FrancisYorkMorganFBI]

you missed monado armor

[@Paulina_the_luna]

Yes you did it, you made me smile (like a idiot alone on my laptop) :')) I love these games and the details 😭💕✨

[@SparksOpus]

Smiling doesn't make you an idiot :) Glad to hear that it works though!

[@Leoraptor21]

The top half of A's iris is purple (Logos) and the bottom being green (Pneuma).

[@samreddig8819]

Wait where do you see that?

[@Leoraptor21]

@@samreddig8819 it isn't the clearest shot of her eyes but it's at 19:10 if you really look

[@samreddig8819]

@@Leoraptor21 looking closer they just look like 2 shades of blue. With is A's normal color. I think it's just the lighting.

[@aegis____]

Great job sparks also amazing editing i remember watching the original conection videos and its amazing how far you've progressed in content creating :D

[@ArchibaldWisco]

It's mind-blowing thinking A had been drilling Matthew on the killing blow against her evil persona. Thanks for this thoughtful trip down memory lane. NGL, it got me feeling some feels for the series.

[@sirlacky5502]

In my opinion "Lucky Seven" is a Melia admiting that Fiora was lucky to be with Shulk. Seven because she was a 7th party member. Just a small ester egg, instead of big "soul container" theory.

[@MiguelHernandez-lo5lg]

You straight up predicted the artbook leaks lmao

[@XBC3403]

It is a little disappointing how few areas from 2 are there in Future Redeemed. especially considering just how many locations were brought from 1, there's Colony 9, Bionis Leg, Valak Mountain, and Prison island. and from 2 all there is is Tantalese ruins and a singular ruin from the cliffs of Morytha. I just find it a gigantic missed opportunity to not combine Colony 9 with something like Argentum, Fonsett, or Torigoth. Or mixing in bits from the world tree with Prison Island

[@Flyfunner]

One litte error in the video: Riku is more likely to be Kinos Child, not Rikis. Riki didnt have any littlepon with green fur, but Kino is his adoptive Child. has green fur and the description, that Rikus Dadapon traveled around with Melia does match Kino just as much as it does Riki. So given all the evidence, its more likely that Riku is Kinos Child :)

[@SparksOpus]

I did go with Riki because Riku said that their Adventure is a "long story", so since Riki was way longer with Shulk + Riki could've had more children that weren't shown in XC1, so... Eh, we'll never really find out anyways lol But yeah, who knows :D

[@samuelchallis3420]

Yeah I’m team Riku’s dadapon is Kino too

[@belot217]

Artbook confirms it's Riki. Wish it was Kino, though!

[@MugenCannon97]

While there's no spoilers for X, at least it does technically get references in the radio sequence, and the city that came to be known as Morytha itself does somewhat resemble NLA.

[@kyurei4478]

I thought Alpha's sword went through the giant ouroboros but because it was intangible the sword didn't reach it. It seems that the sword was in fact directed on the side so it didn't touch the ouroboros. I wonder if it would have affected it anyway.

[@patrickrainville]

Final boss theme directly references the Zanza theme from 1

[@gormottigrebel9978]

Something you missed is that most of the unique monsters are named after similar species from XC1 and XC2

[@IcyDragonRB]

13:47 Arguably you could also say "Light Heal" split into "Heavy Rush(Shulk[FR])" and "Light Field(A)" lol

[@jermwormz3626]

oh what the heck I didn't even realize this was uploaded like 4 minutes ago and that I was so early. funnily enough I'm not even a subscriber 😅 regardless, interesting video so far man, nice job :)

[@lemmyxpro]

PLEASE make an out of bounds exploration video, even if it's just for XC3, although i'd also appreciate one for XC2 and even definitive edition. It'd be so cool to see out of bounds where you normally couldn't!

[@SparksOpus]

Noted. Guess it'll have a higher priority now :)

[@lemmyxpro]

​@@SparksOpusthank you!!

[@Dirakiaa]

We not counting the Alpha Battle Theme as a sort of Remix to Zanza, the Divine? Some Notes may be different pitches, but other than that, its almost the same

[@KilleRoy_NL]

"Yeee Boi!" That got me x'D

[@SparksOpus]

I found that out by accident. I still find it hilarious haha :D

[@zenobros2808]

I would love to see the out of bound video

[@fireembliam9090]

7:40 Yes please.

[@MariMari-mz8mp]

More out of bounds videos! I wanna see the exact gology of aionios

[@DarkChaoto]

Could the large tower in the city at the end of the dlc be what turned into the world tree in XC2?

[@PyReexx]

W video

[@arcticwolf9837]

❤

[@nancestpasmoi1834]

Maybe Juju is the dad of Sena? We still didn't know how the party meet each other, personaly I suspect when the two world merge started a war. this will explain why "Alvis" wanted to destroy them except the children of both(like Gondhor) And all the other child were trap in the circle of reacarnation make sens but for Nia became Queen and not another blade... no idea how and why.
