N's Resolution Xenoblade Chronicles 3

Just like with the M video, I had a hard time finding a way to word this upload without massively spoiling everything, which made me really sweat for a while. Okay, I put some text in the description before committing to it so let's get into it in the next paragraph.
N is Noah. Mio has inherited M's body in a way that reminds me of Romancing SaGa 2 Inheritance Magic but backwards. And now N!Noah has to come to terms with what happened, which brings a beautiful plot arc to a close. The voice acting on both Noah and N himself were incredible and I loved it all.

"Who knows...maybe it'll even be you"

[@goldsmith8502]

I think this scene flies over a lot of people’s heads. This is not meant to be a full redemption for N, nor is it complete forgiveness for him. Some people like to say that N is a failure of a sympathetic villain, and that he is “forgiven” far too easily, but I think this is an easy misread of his character. You as the player are not meant to sympathize with N, as his actions are undoubtedly evil and his motives are entirely selfish. You are however, meant to EMPATHIZE with him, in other words, to merely understand him. To understand what drove him to the deepest pits of despair. Future Redeemed further drives this point home. He is a broken man, unable to carry the weight of life and has to lie to himself and the world in order to cope with actions he knew full well were evil. He is plagued with guilt and regret to the point of it driving him borderline insane, and of course that is no excuse for anything he does. It doesn’t make it ok that he chose what he did simply because he felt bad about it afterwards. M calls him out on this when she sees the ruins of the city, (even if mio says “but that’s ok too” lol). But there’s a silver lining, and that’s Noah’s unwavering understanding of N’s point of view, and the world itself, and how the nature of both led them all to this point. This scene does not represent N’s forgiveness and all being well, no, it is meant to be completely starting over, getting a CHANCE at redemption, because there was once good in him, Noah’s existence is proof and evidence. Not once does the game ever act like what N did was ok, it only ever emphasizes the sheer difficulty of choosing between the future of the world and your descendants and the one you love most, and like most flawed individuals in the real world, N chose selfishly for his own love. What this scene is trying to say is, I think, in spite of your mistakes, it is never too late to start over and move on. It is never too late to make a change in yourself and the world, no matter how scary it can seem. Maybe things in the world around you are worse because of the things you’ve done in life, but that doesn’t mean you can’t try to move forward and do good again anyway. After all, that is one of the core themes of Xenoblade 3. And by joining with Noah and becoming whole once more, destroying Z and Aionios, he is able to redeem Noah’s future, even if not necessarily himself.

[@claytonthomas2327]

Good analysis. I also got that vibe. N got dealt with a shitty hand. As u said, there is s part of him that knew it was the wrong choice but he still chose it.

[@emblemblade9245]

I think Mio’s “but that’s ok too” thing is a callback to the lesson they learned from Ghondor about not just blindly sacrificing everything to get out of a bad situation, but having the willingness to “protect the now” and not sacrifice people of the present. Not to say N did that in the most morally appropriate way, but Future Redeemed goes to lengths to show how he opposes Alpha’s desire to just wipe the slate clean and sacrifice everything to send a chosen few people to a temporarily better world. Furthermore, Crys gives Noah (with the rest of the party in earshot) the lesson of being content with ones lot in life, and I think these lessons among others brought Noah and Mio closer to understanding N, without tilting them so far as to wanting eternal stagnation and hollow security.

Meanwhile the reason N became Moebius makes much more sense and is more relatable.

[@boredgoddesstori6635]

@@LifeMushroom N only really cared for Mio and nothing else. Jin on the other hand not just cared for Lora but how Blades are treated. Remember that between losing Lora and joining Malos there were probably hundreds of years and trough out that time, Jin saw how people never changed and always repeated the same mistakes. Blades were nothing but slaves for most of the humans, nothing like Torna (the continent) was. Also I enjoyed Jin way more because he actually had a ton of screentime. Xenoblade 3, due to having 20+ villains wasn‘t able to properly flesh out N as a villain. He just sort of appears in a few minor scenes early on, talks some cryptic stuff and then get‘s his real spotlight during Chapter 5 and 6 (and Chapter 4 if we count those like, 2 or 3 cutscenes at the end of that Chapter) Also I just don‘t like some of N‘s lines like: „Don‘t you look smug with my woman on your arm“ Really can‘t take him serious at times

This is what happend if Anakin and Vader got seperated

[@TheJaredPunch]

Future Redeemed really bettered my opinion on N. He was already a great antagonist in my eyes, it was just his forgiveness scene and defeating of Z I had a problem with. Come FR, going in depth with the destruction of the City finally got me to make sense of his motivations. Everything he has tried to do has ended in failure: From beating Z, to keeping Mio safe, to killing his Son by mistake. Once his Mio went through with the Homecoming, anything hopes he ever had of feeling like he did something right at all went downhill. The world that Moebius, that Z created, is a world where no one has the right to live a life of their choosing. Moebius has the world and life itself in the palm of their hands. And every attempts he made to protect anything has ended in failure and tragedy. It’s no wonder N became regret itself. Matthew’s words at the end of FR really came to light from Chapter 5 onwards. It’s no wonder why N hated Noah and want to savor his suffering. Anything he does to him is proof that there’s no hope for him or the world. It wasn’t until Noah showed N that he understood his suffering that N finally sees the error of his ways.

[@FEKana]

I really enjoy that Mio tells N it's okay for him to have chosen to want to protect what was. Sure, he chose wrong because in the end, he's only delaying that inevitable separation... but she doesn't demean him for wanting to stay in the now. They don't tell him he's an idiot, they acknowledge that it's a human wish. That it's something everyone wants to do and only a few stay to do that. They show him an understanding while also not necessarily excusing his villain like behavior. I never noticed that when I first beat him because I was too busy almost crying.

[@emblemblade9245]

It reminds me a lot of Celeste now that I think about it Spoilers In chapter 6, Madeline tries to get rid of her “other self” representing her doubts and anxiety, and her other self retaliates by sending her all the way to the bottom of the mountain when she was pretty close to the top. Then at the end of the chapter, she understands her mistake and chases after her other self so she can reconcile, understanding that her anxiety and doubt aren’t just some parasite to cut off but a part of her personality that she needs to work alongside in order to fully realize her potential. Doubt is just a means of processing information to help maintain stability and safety, and we need that to stay alive. We get stuck and can’t go on when we give in entirely to our worries, but we’re also incomplete without them. And that’s exactly why Noah and Mio, Ouroboros, fuse with their Moebius selves, and why only then do they free the world from its fear

Both were in evil organizations, both were depressed, & both are imperfect versions of Sora & Noah. And also, both Roxas & N go back to Sora & Noah’s bodies. And lastly, the relationship that Roxas & Namine had with each other & Sora & Kairi is very similar to the relationship that N & M have with each other & with Noah & Mio. I wouldn’t be surprised if Monolith Soft took some inspiration from Kingdom Hearts because it kinda game me vibes from certain scenes.

[@mariosonic987pac-hero4]

I would be on the same boat as you. Throughout Xenoblade Chronicles 3, I really thought it was the Kingdom Hearts 3 of the Xenoblade series. The difference is that Kingdom Hearts 3 took a long time to be released where as XC3 didn't take long to be released. So it's possible that they took some liberties from the KH series. But back to N and Roxas, both of them suffered greatly. Roxas is a tragic hero that did not deserve any pain whatsoever and N used to be the embodiment hope until he became Mobius because of Z. Both are similar but their paths that they take are different. In a way, it's why I like these characters very much.

[@duycao0521]

@@Lone_Wolf_Herothe only couple of small differences is that Roxas spent about a year existing and then “dies” a hero saving Sora and his friends, while N spent centuries, if not eons, living far too long to see himself become a villain, and Roxas accepted his fate as Sora’s Nobody until the end of Kingdom Hearts 3, while N refuses to accept whatever faults he has until Noah and the others beat some snuffing sense into the poor man and made his see his mistakes.

[@natchu96]

On one hand Z only dies because N/Noah finally chose the other path at the pivotal moment. On the other hand that literally could not possibly have happened unless N chose wrong first. If that specific Noah had not done this, he would've just gone back into the cycle with Mio and been given the choice again, each in an increasingly more broken mental state than the last. Seeing how far his previous self had fallen and to what unforgiveable lengths he would go to keep Mio forever is one of the small handful of factors that lead new Noah to become who he did.

weebs try not to compare depression to fictional anime characters in despair for ten seconds challenge impossible

[@codygoldenflame7996]

Absolutely braindead take. Art imitates life. The characters are meant to reflect real human nature, if exaggerated. If a player relates to a character, especially a sympathetic one, it’s on purpose. That’s literally the point

Forgiven way too easily

[@Duplighost_]

By that logic, you shouldn’t forgive everyone in the main party for killing hundreds of people. The whole point of Aionios is that people lack the ability to make a choice, and that’s enough to break them. We’ve seen that with Joran, for example. The main party understands this, and they very much acknowledge that N fucked up big time. But they got another chance to make the right choice despite the circumstances of having to fight in an endless war, so why shouldn’t he?

[@MrSupersmash93]

@@Duplighost_ the party didn’t get a choice because it was forced on them and they were ignorant of the world meanwhile N and Jordan choose to upheld that system because one one of them wanted to be a hero and the other didn’t for his wife and they bragged how better they are and mocked the party. Even N’s love for M was since he give no empathy to the other versions and he even ignored M own will, autonomy and feeling, didn’t even notice the switch and then that comment about how it was okay for him to murder his descendants.

@@MrSupersmash93 Idk if he was forgiven so much as given a chance to make an attempt at redemption. To be fair, while it doesn't excuse his actions, he was also forced into a cycle of death, grief, and pain & subsequently given a seemingly impossible choice - he made the wrong one, & that choice led him down a snowballing path of increasing corruption and evil, but he never should've been put in that position to begin with. You can empathize with him without forgiving him, and you can see why Noah might be willing to offer him another chance - because he too had to go through the experience and pain of (at least seemingly) losing Mio & so could empathize with the level of pain N felt when he chose to become Moebius. The message is that we're all a few choices, interpersonal encounters, and/or losses away from going down a dark path - it doesn't excuse the actions of those who do but serves to remind us to be mindful of our choices, stick to our core values, and to choose to be with good company.

[@MrSupersmash93]

@@torrent5018 but N really doesn't do much to redem himself, he just dies. M was secretly working with the group, Triton became a party member and while Joran dies, one time he saved Lanz and the other time he took out Dirk

[@LifeMushroom]

@@MrSupersmash93 As Rex himself says in the 2nd game, "forgiving isn't easy but that's just the world we live in. we need to find a way to move forward, within that world." It definitely helps that N IS Noah, and that we know that Noah would have made the same decision if he didn't have his friends beside him. Also, he didn't do it out of malice, but rather his love for Mio. That's why we can choose to forgive him and N can accept to move forward, and finally redeem himself to destroy Z.

From mixed bath scenes to down right promoting polygamy. How repulsive can this game get. At least it not as bad as the fan service in XC2. What a mess, this series needs to end especially with all the occult symbols...

You have copy and pasted this on so many videos that you started leaking into ones that have neither of these lol

@Bread Bank Honestly, it cant even be called polygamy I think. Polygamy is just an open relationship, this is more like a harem which based on real life standards and history has pretty different implications. I am not saying to not be weirded out by it i was just saying lol

[@ReineDeLaSeine14]

Just don’t play it. Easy easy.

[@gravityfallscanada]

@@ReineDeLaSeine14 Just accept that a game can be criticized. Easy easy...

[@kinky48]

The emotions hit a high for me when N and Noah starts to play. Shit was intense.
