Fun fact about Shania: her voice actress, Louise Stewart, was pretty excited about the role because she was already a big Xenoblade fan! I think she did a great job.

[@ShallBePurified]

She did amazing.

[@fangorn875]

Yes she did..😅 I don't like her character behaviour, her voice acting really made me hate her character 😊

[@SanoviaSavonia]

Thats so cute omg, she did a fantastic job as Shania so no complaints there

That’s awesome, her performance was fantastic and super memorable

Erythia is my favorite area in the game. I could listen to the music forever.

The feeling when you get on the boat and go into the open waters for the first time is just "how does this game keep on expanding"

[@Panory]

He literally starts the video going "This area is so big, I don't even know *how* to explore it!" and I just have to sit here smugly knowing it's about to go *so much further*.

[@ShallBePurified]

I can't believe Monolith Soft put the entirety of Wind Waker in one area of the game.

[@ShadowSkyX]

I want to see a comparison. Someone would have to mod link's little boat to be the same speed as the boat in xbc3. See how comparable the great sea is to xbc3's erythia sea

[@The_Endless_Now]

@@Pure_Random Many people can look forward to Xenoblade X then

[@wesnohathas1993]

I'm still a bit salty about not being allowed to stand on the ship's deck even though it's used in cutscenes.

[@vascojdb]

I love how Dee thought the sea part would be just a cutscene and then suddendly he can pilot a ship :D

[@MrLuigiBean1]

1:38:05 My favourite character is Noah! Never in any game I've ever played have I resonated with a character so much before. In some cutscenes, I end up reacting the same way with the same words as he does, just as you seem to be with Eunie! The quiet, contemplative strength he carries is really cool to see in action too! :D

[@wesnohathas1993]

I've often heard Noah talked about as being one of the most bland protagonists in the series, yet he's very relatable in that sense. Just the thoughtful, down-to-earth type.

[@WhimsyHeath]

The first time i exited the harbour on Erythia seaand it just opened up, I was just astounded at how huge the game was - even after all the time of the rest of the game. Its just such a vibrant, colourful, and beautiful area.

[@The_Endless_Now]

When compared to the rest of Xenoblade 3, I suppose. It's really bleak all things considered.

[@ShadowSkyX]

​@The_Endless_Now during my first playthrough, before cadensia, I was absolutely starved for a beautiful locale--xenoblade is pretty much known for them. I missed the secret area in the petelas region, not finding it until later - it's the earliest really pretty location you can get to. Etice highway is fairly good standout, but the area around the sword's base is better and where i breathed a huge sigh of relief. Finally a cool looking place. The caves desperately needed something though because too many looked the same. But erythia sea is where they put the rest of beauty. They really made you work for it

[@brandonwithnell612]

an intesting thing about shania thats especially noticable with the outfit you had on sena is that the red markings on shanias undershirt completly match senas blue body marks

[@nhodgie]

The entire cast of this game are great for me. Hard to split them in general.

[@DetectiveThursday]

The music from the city is inspired by Xenogears, which was takahashi's first Xeno game. I would not at all be surprised if inspired it also inspired Nier. both the Nier and Xeno series have a fondness for German philosophy.

[@ZedsRivoluzione]

Ay, we've reached my favorite area in the game. Lots of great quests and monsters to fight here!

[@azuredeath]

A subtle thing after they swap flutes is that Noah now plays Mio’s tune and she plays his.

[@ilavain]

I LOVE Noah so much. My favorite character of anything ever. Such an interesting character to be a protagonist in a story as introspective as this.

[@xandoofi9393]

I really hope he does the hero quests around the ocean. One of them is my favourite hero in the entire game and I’m going to be really sad if he doesn’t end up getting them.

[@ShadowSkyX]

I know he wants to explore off camera, but I think he'll regret doing it all off stream. Skip travels aren't always well placed, so he'll be spending a lot of time running from place to place and boating from island to island. Having chat as company, while dangerous, he could always make it into a chill stream. Plus I want to see his reactions to the different areas and locations because they saved the best for last.

[@shuckleiscool7330]

Yeah!!! Time to set sail.

[@dustinbragg1921]

1:15:00 cameraman making you look really bad because she's only 8 years old. I love how in the monument room Dee immediately caught onto the thing most fans missed, and missed the thing most immediately noticed. Dee's the kind of man to find burried treasure in a forest, and then later be caught saying "There were trees?!" about the experience. Favorite of those you've already met? Sena _and_ Lanz, and I can get away with that because the two share the same brain. Otherwise, Common Variety Nopon Riku. That Darbus smash illustrates the frustration of large enemies with massive AoE attacks. Even when you've got block or dodge arts ready to tank the attack yourself you'll come out the other side with all your attackers and healers dead. What's the point of defenders when even though they're doing their job of keeping aggro the enemy still kills your squishier classes? 1:50:35 yeah DeeBee, let's not make this a video about bros fisting. So about that boat, funny story but when I first unlocked it I immediately used it to explore every available inch of the region before I did any story progress. I... _don't_ recommend doing that. Turns out that there's a stupendously large amount of water in the ocean, who would've guessed. As wonderful as the ost is in this game I got real sick of that boat theme after hours upon hours of it almost nonstop.

[@bradp366]

Samon is my second favorite Nopon. Right behind Riki.

The ignorance of youth. Being a consul was just the highest position above commander. It wasn't anything bad as far as they knew so of course Noah would be supportive back then.

[@classyspider]

i highly recommend exploring the sea as much as you can theirs some missable stuff there

[@-Lightning-]

Nahh Masha looks way better than any Genshin Impact character. I love her class, its insanely strong. The special equipment is a gamechanger but you need a good amount of luck. All in all a really great third dlc!

[@fangorn875]

Erythia Sea is a really a beautiful place. ❤

[@roberthebert2826]

Part of what Shania was doing in that conversation of Sena was trying to get a read on her. She pushed her buttons and said antagonistic shit and Sena kinda just accepted it and went along with it, even when she directly said soemthing that flew in the face of what she believed. That's where the "You always try this hard to please people?" Came from.

[@ShallBePurified]

I like how in the cutscene reflecting back on Joran, Noah is the only one who isn't taken aback seeing Joran portray himself in red armor (a not so subtle reference of him becoming Moebius). And Noah was also the one who asked for Joran to skip training. Out of their group, Noah is the one who was the most supportive of Joran, and that's why he's the leader of the group.

[@Gag1800]

Feel free to remove this (or ask me to remove it, I don't know how this works) if this breaks DeeBee's spoiler rules, but he's coming up on a particularly long section of story that you can't get out of and is best played in a single sitting. So he might want to actually reserve having a long stream for that
