torna destroyed me [ending]

[@skyeifer]

hi everybody! this marks the end of the entire xenoblade chronicles 2 and torna journey. thank you for giving me the chance to share this amazing experience with you all. you guys are amazing and hope you all are ready for xenoblade chronicles 3! toodles! (ɔ◔‿◔)ɔ♥ ps: i seriously don't know how did y'all endure the pain from this whole franchise 😂

[@gerkithesneak4921]

At this point you accept it and wait for it to come does that make it hurt any less no but we roll with it

[@Zaleos]

Well, it hurts but....not gonna lie, it hurts "good" xD Btw I suppose you already know but just in case, the music piece you usually react most to is "Friendship".

[@Midna78]

That's what Xenoblade is known for. Even though we know what it does do us - we still go through the pain unprepared. But that's what we love the franchise for, right?

[@Kagoo98]

Pain? Mmm, I guess Xenoblade Chronicles 3 may be higher in some ways... you'll discover that soon enough. ^^ But don't worry, it's still a Xeno and there's still much more to enjoy too. Have a nice trip to Aionios. ^^

[@spiderdude2099]

…..we didn’t..

[@claudeernestbarcelona2465]

“So, that was the final boss?” No. The final boss is the crippling despair and trauma that the game leaves behind in our hearts and minds.

[@Nelsito99]

Some to note is that Mythra's last item she learns to cook is quite good and shows that she was improving but that her trauma stopped that growth as that trait was given to pyra and many other things that Mythra thought she lacked in like being kinder or easier power control

[@MrAuthor3DS]

- Malos's boss theme here is an acoustic rearrangement of Amalthus's boss theme. It's a nice touch, I'm saying. - Mythra was the one who convinced Milton to wait in Auresco - the way she saw it, (even though it was Malos who dealt the killing shot) his death was her fault. With that and the death's of the Titan and Hugo, it's no wonder Mythra generated Pyra and repressed herself. - I can scarcely think of anything else in Xenoblade 2 that's as horrifying as Blade Eater Gort! And boy, is he mentally out of it...! Still, worth it to hear the theme of "Lora is pissed off" (a rearrangement of "The Power of Jin", even). (Fun fact: Gort's HP is constantly whittling away in the battle, automatically. Stannif did say that Gort might not last long. Oh, and Team Lora can't be KOed in this one battle.) - "Things can change. There's always hope." After the tragedies that unfolded in the ending...it's comforting that the final shot in this campaign is Rex, a boy who truly embodies hope. I'd say Lora had a point after all.

[@Spartan1312]

The ending song is Lora singing, if you listen to the lyrics its her telling Jin to not be scared to love someone else and move on....he never did :(

[@skyeifer]

he never didddd exactly... and it's just so sad that malos was the one who actually kinda helped him to move forward 😭

[@Spartan1312]

@@skyeifer The worst part is she keeps saying "You will be fine" and stuff because she loved him and had faith in him... He was never truly fine. He held a 500 year long candle for the only woman he ever loved and gave up everything just to be able to remember her. So she would not be forgotten. On a side note go watch the scene when Jin kills Haze on Temperentia. It hits entirely different after Torna.

​@@Spartan1312 Well, remember, she said she thought she knew what she would say when her death came, but couldn't. So the song is all the things she wished she had said.

[@dirkbechtold2320]

Yes, Zettar is the ancestor of Zeke. In the main game, his father tells him that they'r not descendants of Addam, but of a cadet branch. This means, the descended from a younger brother of the King of Torna, thus Zettar. We see the arrangements made between Stannif and Zettar at the end. So that's where Zettar sold his people to Amalthus and trade in himself being king for the isolation and coldness of Tantal.

[@skyeifer]

and thank god that zeke didn't turn out to be an asshole like his ancestor!

[@RedTheWeeb]

So in the japanese version mythra while losing it and seeing the future says something along the lines of "somebody save me" not sure why it was changed to "I just wanted to save" but it still works both ways since you see shes clearly breaking mentally

[@skyeifer]

omg that actually hurts even moreeeee 😭😭😭💔💔💔

[@oneish7454]

They probably thought it leaned too much on the 'emotional woman has breakdown and needs somebody to save her' trope. Just my personal take

[@RedTheWeeb]

@@oneish7454 I mean she believes she just lost someone who was a little brother to her I think it's fair to be emotional

[@dianavi1893]

Actually the Japanese is ambiguous and can be interpreted both ways. Given the context that the previous sentence she says means “I don’t want to destroy” I think the official translation makes more sense here.

[@asolomoth1066]

The entire sequence between the defeat of Malos and Lora facing Gort is my favorite scene in all the xenoblade games (tied with 1 other scene). Most of xenoblade has a lot of dialogue and narration. But that sequence. It hits "show, don't tell" right on the head. They don't mention Hugo dying. They just show you Addam crying and the cores on the ground. When Lora hands the cores to the inquisitor, he hesitates. He was the one person who was supposed to be ready for Hugo to die. And it still hurt him. Mikhail has dead eyes when he turns towards the camera. No one needs to say anything. You can tell Milton died in his arms. When Mythra heads towards Milton, Addam starts stepping in front of her, then stops. He wants to be there for her, but he still doesn't know how to accept her. This was his problem that Rex was able to overcome. When Mythra reaches for Milton, Mikhail just pulls him closed. This was the breaking point for Mythra. Seeing her go through this, you really understand why she was so full of self-hate in the base game. It's heartbreaking. When Addam talks, he is more subdued. The death and destruction he had to endure has clearly taken a toll on him. And, of course, Pyra. The game never needs to mention the transformation, only show that it happened. That's because the player already has all that context from the base game. Though the dialogue in xenoblade is masterfully crafted, Monolith was able to make a beautiful scene with as few words as possible. No spoilers, but that scene is only tied with a scene near the end of chapter 5 in xeno3. A short sequence plays with no words from the characters, and it's beautiful. Wow, you actually read this far down? Sorry for rambling on, I just *really* liked those scenes (in case you couldn't tell) :P

What really caught me during my own playthrough of Torna is when Emperor Hugo died protecting Addam. Addam was seen crying. If I was in his place, the thoughts that would go through my mind is 'Why did you do it? Why did you risk your life to protect me, a powerless driver. Someone who can't save anyone. Someone who cant control his own blade.' Man, even if Addam is much cooler than Rex, he was still powerless to control Mythra, the Aegis. Really quite the contrast with how Addam was depicted in the main game, saying that he is a hero. Anyways, we're all just here to see you cry haha! Can't wait to watch your Xenoblade 3 videos

One of the best reaction of this beautifull story , no matter how many time It always gets me (i love that you see Rex as the end, is like beeing conforted by a friend after something bad and in the context of the story because you know that after all this despair comes hope.) One detail that i really like Is that you can see core cristals on the torso of gort's mutated form , since is one of the failed experiment of indol for obtaining blade eaters. Also i kinda feel bad for malos too, he does all this stuff because is his programming, and can't know better..until losing almost all of his powers and knowing jin. (Still cant belive that zettar is the zekenetor's ancestor lmao).

[@skyeifer]

hi there! thank you for watching this video! oh yeah, i just realized about gort's core crystal when i was editing this video and well, he kinda deserved it lmao. and as for rex.... oooof when i saw him at the ending, i just lost it hahaha i felt sad and relieved at the same time knowing that mythra and pyra can finally be awaken after 500 years... :( and ooof zettar can just rot in hell.

[@Nuvendil]

The depressing part about Mythra feeling so guilty is that they NEEDED her full power, Malos was toying with them, the only way to beat him was for her to be able to use her full strength. But she never seemed to get that, so fixated on the destruction. Which is why Addam felt he was the one that failed. He couldn't bring out her true strength because *he* was afraid, from the moment he resonated with her.

That whole ending really changed my perspective on Mythra and made her one of my favorite characters of all time, the "I just want to save" line hits so hard every time. Super excited to see your XC3 playthrough! Keep up the great work 😊

Malos' battle theme is a remix of Amalthus' battle theme from the main game. That really shows that here, he's nothing more than a slave to Amalthus' will. Only in the main game, he begins the question whether the impulses he had were his own, or someone else's. So cool.

[@zillo1600]

It's nice that they talked about the golden eyes again. Malos said it to Rex too in their first fight and than it is never brought up again. I thought it would be an important plot point but maybe Malos was just reminded of Addam. Pyra said herself that Rex and Addam are very alike. there is still the theory that Rex is a descendent of Addam but i am gald they didn't confirmed it. I like it that some stuff is left open for interpretation.

[@skyeifer]

[@zillo1600]

@@skyeifer well he did go to leftheria, put the Aegis sword away and established fonsett. Maybe with the tornan survivers than he left Azurda in charge of protecting it and vanished from history. Only leftherien could get through the doors on bord the tornan ship in which pyra sleeps so I think Rex had to have at least tornan blood in him.

[@Agefonduge]

I believe Malos didn't forget about Jin. Maybe he didn't recognize him at first since he was hidden and had an hood on. Moreover he couldn't know that Jin became a flesh eater, so even if he recognized him, he'd think that Jin can't know who he is

[@skyeifer]

oh yeah that's true that jin had his hood on! i honestly forgot the detail of the scene lmao. but that makes sense!

[@zultriova89]

No.. I think Malos recognise him when they met again but in that state?? Even Malos have sympathy for Jin and decide not to bring it up but we dont know afterwards.. just my 2 cent.

[@Agefonduge]

@@zultriova89 with "maybe he didn't recognize him at first" I meant really the first bunch of seconds, before seeing his face. As soon as he sees Jin's face of course he recognizes him. But it can also be as you say, that he recognized him even before talking to him

[@thebristolbruiser]

Malos definitely changed after the last battle in Torna. He was severely weakened in the aftermath of the fight and he seems to become more introspective and self-aware of the nature of his driver’s influence afterwards. In TTGC Malos was a vessel for the hatred Amalthus held for humanity, but in the years between that and the main game he comes to feel for Jin and, I think, and they see themselves in each other. That is their bond. Like Jin said, Malos was still searching for his own identity, independent of his driver’s influence. When Malos gives the impassioned speech about Jin wanting to die, but not being able to, it could be interpreted as Malos feeling that way too. There is still a part of Malos that does not want to be the destructive, evil force that the influence of Amalthus made him. The only way he sees to end his and Jin’s suffering is to wipe out their existence along with the rest of Alrest. An interesting thing to note is that before Malos extracts Pyra’s memories he is not aware of Aion. And in TTGC Aion awakes only briefly and it is for Mythra. Aion is the artifice capable of the destruction of mankind, so if Malos truly was ordained by the architect as the endbringer, like he claimed, then would he not be aware of Aion already?

[@Nuvendil]

​@@thebristolbruiser Well, Pneuma and Logos weren't supposed to *be* blades. So their memories in general seem fuzzy. Probably in part due to their drivers' influence. I think Malos also became...humbled in a way. In Torna, he views himself apart from humanity. Above them all. In the base game, by the end, you see he doesn't see himself above humanity at all. Everything he judged humanity for in Torna, he embodies. And realizing this, he views himself as equally guilty, equally worthless. But Malos also forms bonds, actual friendships, in his own way. He has something he cares about. And so, he takes on a curious role. He believes that the world isn't worth saving, but he doesn't WANT to be right. He WANTS to be beaten, in a way. Funnily enough, he kinda reminds me of Master Asia from G Gundam, who similarly took on a belief that man wasn't worth saving and fought for that but in the end, he didn't want to be right, he wanted to be beaten.

[@quillquickcard8824]

I firmly believe that Jin’s final message to Azurda was telling him that if they ever met again, Azurda would have to kill him. Jin was no fool. I’m sure he could well foresee the toll living on would have on him. It is probably why, despite knowing how, at least 1 previous Jin had never become a flesh eater. If you watch the cutscene where Gramps saves Rex, you notice that as soon as Gramps and Jin recognized each other, Gramps came around for an attack and Jin gripped his weapon. Gramps fired a few blasts, the first ones creating a distraction for the final blast which was aimed directly at Jin, and which Jin had to deflect with his sword. I believe that blast was directly intended to kill Jin, and that it was fully capable of doing so had it not been blocked. Azurda tries to honor Jin’s final request

Monolith Soft is fairly reluctant to kill off major characters permanently in the mainline games and often pulls its punches with the most shocking twists, for some reason. In particular, I've been a little sore for years about how XC2 snuck in a happy ending in the last seconds of the game, partially undermining the otherwise incredible final chapter. So imagine how delighted I was when they didn't hold back with Torna and allowed it to fully commit to the tragic consequences it was building toward! The game is also shockingly fleshed out for a DLC expansion as well. Torna has given me perhaps unrealistically high expectations for the Xenoblade Chronicles 3 DLC, as such.

But yeah the Azurda/Gramps, Jin, Mikhail, Malos and Mythra interactions are written incredibly well, and translated with incredible care and consideration of the story. Also, Laura was the oldest protagonist by a long stretch across the series (to that point in time anyway), and the characterisation shows so well in her writting.

i didn't notice jin's blade arts... omg that's actually so sad... rip my heart once again...

[@spiderdude2099]

@@skyeifer the heartbreak really never stops with these games….

[@spiderdude2099]

@@skyeifer it’s also extremely sad when you realize that Lora tells Jin “for us humans, being forgotten is worse than death. We struggle so hard to make our mark on this world” and in the end, Lora is one of the only members of the Torna group that is largely forgotten. She came from poverty and was made a knight, and fought just as hard as everyone else against Malos, but other than Jin who keeps her memory alive and her corpse with him on the Monoceros, and Pyra/Mythra who don’t really know her extremely well, she goes largely forgotten to time. Think about it: Brigid survives Aegeon survives Pyra and Mythra survive Addam is held as a hero of legend Mikhail survives Minoth survives Malos survives Hugo dies, but he’s royalty, there no way he won’t be remembered Haze unfortunately survives and is captured by Alamthus. Lora really fought with the best of them but is largely completely forgotten to history…it’s so sad..

I know that it not part or Torna but did you do the blade quest off stream if so which was your fav

Imo, there is only really one scene in XB3 that reaches the levels of XB2. But boy, that's one of the best and most emotional cutscenes out of all Xeno games to me.

To stave off some of the sadness a lot of people in the fandom think that mythra and rex named their child either Milton or Addam and I hope it's something like that
