[@Seesthroughwalls]

This cutscene rocks for me. Why? It's the only time that I can remember where the whole "We've got better things to deal with than you" thing was pulled off well.

[@0axis771]

THIS was it. THIS was the moment that made me absolutely LOVE Shulk. That moment when he goes as far as to stop Dunban from trying to kill Mumkhar, that was when I realized just how much Shulk developed. Going from a guy that wanted nothing but revenge on Metal Face for killing Fiora, and nearly getting it, to changing that mindset because he now wants to understand the bigger picture. Because he saw Fiora, the anger and hatred that fueled him dispersed and he realized that there was something bigger, something that he NEEDED to understand.

[@kaelankramer2658]

This is also the moment where he surpasses Dunban as a mentor, it really becomes his own journey. I also come back to this seen a lot, even 5 years later.

[@braydenleaderofthetirkins1143]

It was the exact opposite for me. Most stupid moment in the game. He should have been executed

[@joseph86255]

I think what makes it so great is that Shulk makes it clear that he still *hates* Mumkhar for everything he's done, and is acting out of concern for his mentor rather than any sympathy for his enemy.

[@sonicrules876542]

I like the fact that after Xord Dunban stated that killing Metal Face was bad and that they'll get another chance but now that it's revealed he's Mumkhar he's super bloodthirsty because his old friend was a traitor.

[@linuxwizzerd5908]

That first time was because Mumkhar was literally flying away and they were effectively sorrounded with no way out, whereas now they can hurt him and Mumkhar as all the intention of staying and fighting

[@Skallva]

Death by getting impaled through his tough armour, which was his favourite way of killing off other people and something even the Monado was unable to achieve, and sent into the abyss when he was reborn from the abyss (Battle of Sword Valley, the last time we see him there he's standing in front of a dark void, about to get shot, to be later recovered as Metal Face)... Deaths in Xenoblade are just so poetic...

[@fey5774]

Pete To be fair he was implaled by one of the Mechonis spears, which is made of primordial robot god metal.

[@MaxMonado]

Mumhkar even said when he left Dunban behind in Sword Valley: 'I'm not throwing my life away! No point dying in some godforsaken field' Yet that's exactly how he died thanks to running away and getting turned into a Mechon

[@darkraihedgehog1705]

@@MaxMonado also that was clearly an electric blast that dunban could have taken if shulk hadn't pushed dunban out of the way the electric blast wouldn't have knocked out the spear and it wouldn't have stabbed mumkhar

[@themonadoman116]

Monado Max and when he eventually actually died, it was still in sword valley

[@JDRider02]

Despite this being a good example of Shulk's morality in trying to keep Mumkhar alive even though they're enemies, I can't help but just realize that it's undermined by the fact that they've slain other Face Mechon during this battle...

[@Tyeタイ]

they're mass produced, likely not actual people

[@JDRider02]

"I wonder who's inside, your dad, your mum, maybe that special someone!" -Mumkhar in the cutscene before this one. So I'm assuming there had to be Homs in there and Shulk just... forgot about them (or maybe they actually are non-Homs Faces and Mumkhar just didn't get the memo... edit: OR he was just bluffing with that above remark)

[@Tyeタイ]

JDRider02 I think you're right in that he was just bluffing. Coincidentally I did some research, just a few days ago after hearing Metal face say that - to find out if there was actually homs inside them, and most of the info I found suggested that Metal face was indeed just bluffing there. Which would make sense given the way Egil speaks about the faces later in the game.

[@JDRider02]

I can definitely believe that Metal Face would just bluff (though like many things I guess it's ambiguous) Do you have this info on you right now? Because I would actually love to hear it and maybe compare it to my assumptions, now that I'm starting to realize more. Primarily that (spoilers in case anyone else reads this): -If Mass Produced Faces aren't carrying any Homs within them, then why bother to use them if they would have no advantage over normal Mechon, especially since that bond made them partially invincible to Monado I? Granted, since the Monado II has appeared by then, that advantage is gone, but even because of that Egil states that because of this "the usefulness of the Faces has come to an end"(Cutscene 84), meaning that all or the majority of them must have had that or some other distinct advantage. If not, why not send stronger regular Mechon instead?(especially those Fortress ones, if the Mechon dropships were able to deploy those around Bionis early they'd probably have beaten the Homs easily) -Not to mention, Egil realizes that he must erase the memories of his Face Units to optimize their capabilities (Cutscene 100), though of course that wouldn't stop Shulk. I always assumed that this is why Mass Produced Faces wouldn't talk, since they had no reason to talk but just crush Shulk, so would there be organic pilots or not? And on a side note, those Faces drop Bloodstained Faces as treasure, eww. Do Mechon bleed? I'm believing that they had to have come from some organic being (not to mention the team robbing people of their faces is gross), otherwise that item seems arbitrary to have inside a completely mechanical giant... -And on a completely semi-unrelated note, why Mass Produced and why just one model? I can understand it being efficient (both in-universe and for the game designers), but then letting Metal Face, Face Nemesis and Jade Face have custom builds seems a little unfair (though Face Nemesis can be attributed to Vanea's plan for Meyneth...) In fact, I could see Jade Face's build being a standard for Long Range Faces whose Units are also snipers. Those are just a few thoughts I had. If you have any counters to them, by all means, I'd love to hear them.

That's some sweet ass looking equipment on Dunban and Reyn but the huge sword looks kind of silly in the part where it's stuck inside metal face. Also Mumkhar, "Not Like This!", what way would you prefer to die? Cause that was a pretty awesome death all things considered.

[@stefanfr13]

floooooooooooooooood Knowing Mumkhar, I would bet he would've prefered dying knowing that he was in control.

[@vc180191]

+floooooooooooooooood I think the game cutscenes intended that you had a certain sword by this point. People who were really trying to get everything by this point would have gotten the Collection page for Valak Mountain filled out, the area before Sword Valley. If they had, they would have gotten a sword for Dunban that actually looks like a genuine katana (first time since we got him at the start, his first sword was a katana but after that they started looking silly) that has ridiculously good stats, way better than anything you'd get until after Galahad Fortress. This sword is MEANT to be equipped by this time, as it's design fits perfectly in this cutscene, the sword tip is literally right at Mumkhars neck, while the Monado is blocking the handle guard. So as an incentive to complete the game fully, the designers put only one single weapon into the game that fit the cutscenes perfectly at this time, the best possible sword you would have at the time if you had been playing the game as intended. You would have had this sword in the first encounter in Valak Mountain as well if you had completed the list early on (which is very much possible considering how bloody huge the mountain is, your gonna have collected everything way before the end)

[@Jotari]

+vc180191 I think the most logical weapon you'd expect a player to be using at this point is the mechon damaging weapons sold at the entrance to Sword Valley.

[@vc180191]

floooooooooooooooood Really? I ignored them the moment I saw how crap they were, I needed to work on Shulks affinity anyway so I just had him spamming Enchant at the start of each fight. Considering the Valak Katana was easily twice as powerful, had over three times the critical chance (18% compared to 5% if I remember right) and twice the gem slots of the Anti-Mechon weapon, I kept it. Also Shulk by this point had a monstrous damage advantage with the Monado 2 vs Mechon so I was keeping him in anyways.

[@Jotari]

+vc180191 Oh I ignored it as well. Just from a design point of view it seems like the equipment the game wanted you to use at that point. At least more so than 100% every area as you reach it.

[@Chook181]

Such a powerful scene. Shulk's transition from bloodlust and rage to his wish for peace and finding another way by letting the cycle of hatred end with him. Even with Fiora's killer right in front of him - Shulk prioritizes making the world better over spending another moment indulging his childish idea for revenge. He knows killing Mumhkar wouldn't help at all. He overcomes Mumhkar - the embodiment of all his pain and suffering - and grows as a person. In the process, he also helps Dunban from falling into despair. As cheesy as it is, Dunban would have been no better than him. He would be a murderer just the same. He saves himself and Dunban from the hatred that someone as vile as Mumhkar produces. Mumhkar only dies here because of how terrible he is. It's all of his life's terrible decisions and his horrid personality that he is where he is. Him charging them despite having already lost shows how immature and unable to grow he is. He is a man-child. Shulk even tries to save him. He pleads with him to stop, not wanting to see another Hom killed - but Mumhkar is too far gone. He is his own undoing as he gets impaled by the destruction he caused himself.

[@pabloguerrero8900]

This is by far my favorite cut scene in the game, the music, the way the actors have passion in their voices, the death of my one of my favorite video game villains of all time... Man my heart beats so fast every time I watch this cut scene

I just realized something about Mumkhars death. While Dunban did agree to Shulk, he actually still found his way to kill him. He knew that antagonizing him would make him attack them. Even after the agreement to Shulk, he still wanted him dead.

LOL, His obsession in surpassing Dunban brought about this end result, He was a good villain on how he kept trolling the party and Shulk and killing both Fiora and the Emperor (Melia father) not to mention being responsible for the deaths of many innocents of his former home Colony 9, He reminds me of Stone from Xenogears, Both men hated and obessed over beating men who viewed them as a dear friend, Both gave up their humanity for more power and both met their end because of that obsession.

[@lpfan4491]

It is kind of a great irony that shulk was not able to save fiora at the start of the game because the scale of the vision was just beyond his physical capabilities at the time. and now the guy who killed her met the same end.

[@Screwy]

[@UltimaKeyMaster]

It helps that like 98% of enemies you've killed up until this point were dangerous animals or mindless machines. You never actually kill regular living beings before this except for Xord but he was already out for blood anyway, so there was no avoiding that and even after this the only living beings you kill are other Faces or the big bads. And thank heavens for that where it's not "revenge is bad even though you killed 2000 other nameless people to get here." At that point, revenge is all you really have and you might as well not chicken out on the reason you offed all those people.

Another thing that’s not really being pointed out is that Mumkhar only tries to attack Dunban after Shulk’s very emotional speech. He pretty much ignores Shulk during all this, it’s clearly showing that he mainly focuses on Dunban. Due to his hatred for the man, which was building up for many years. He even says “You always had to have the last word!” before his rather undignified demise.

[@LucasManMc]

[@GeorgeMan1999]

When you learn about some of Mumkhar’s past from Dunban’s Heart to Heart with Melia, it really makes his death much more tragic. In fact, he too, was a victim of Zanza. A shame that he couldn’t move past his hatred for Dunban and listen to Shulk. He died as a alone and pathetic man. 😔

[@funsohng]

What i like about this.... is that while it's really cliched to have a character who's like "we cant kill, if we do we are just like them" or kind of bullshit, this doesnt feel like bullshit. Most characters that do this really have shallow reasoning and/or the story up to the point makes it really unconvincing for them to be like that, yet Shulk here makes sense. It's hard to argue against him because of how mature and perceptive he was portrayed thus far. Not only that, the way the game handles the concept of murder is really well done through how monado works in story as well as in gameplay. It means something to be able to defeat these faced mechons. Shulk stopping Dunban doesn't make me frustrated, but makes me think more about the war they are fighting. And the English dub is superb as well in delivering (I played the game in Japanese but yeah). I love this shit. Port this to switch with ability to rewatch cutscenes like xeno 2

[@UltimaKeyMaster]

I'm glad you got your wish after you made that comment, first off. Second, what really helps that morality lesson is the game isn't throwing human beings at you left right and center and only just now going "killing is wrong." You fought for pure survival against mindless animals and machines. The only living sentient beings you ever kill are not-mass-produced Faces and the big bad guys who deserve it. The moral makes sense because you really didn't just go off killing other Homs beforehand like it was nothing.

If you unequip it after the cutscene you receive it by opening the party menu, and switch to a replica Monado, it goes into your inventory and you can either select it as one of the 30 or not, I'm pretty sure

[@CKruler]

How would you react if Masahiro Sakurai, director of Smash Bros., revealed that this location would serve as a Xenoblade stage for the 3DS version, with Metal Face serving as a stage hazard (though Xord will sometimes appear instead)? (And please, don't mention the Wii U version because it's too obvious it'll be getting one)

[@devnaround8017]

Meh....Nopon village is better

Well, you got some of your wish anyway.

Yep. At least I got that part right.

Gonedridge one sentence: We went from a badass character with a ton of development and a unique persona to a generic harem protag that accidentally got an op weapon.

BEST DEATH SCENE, PERIOD.

[@bwhit7919]

I love this game, but I'm not a fan of this cutscene. Has no protagonist ever heard of Utilitarianism or simple logic? Mumkar is far too dangerous to let live. If you let him live, there's a good chance that he'll kill at least one more human, and it's better that he dies than a person that is innocent of bloodshed.

[@UltimaKeyMaster]

Shulk's point is if you're so willing to do this to Mumkhar, you have to be willing to immediately strike down Fiora in cold blood as well. Shulk does not want to do that without answers as to why they got that way in the first place.

[@Xelpherpolis]

So he was totally fine with killing Faced Mechon (who are clearly sentient and self-aware) before, AND he's totally okay with killing *other* races from the Bionis, including the High Entia, but the moment he has to kill another Homs, even if that Homs is the most irredeemably evil character in the game, suddenly we're crossing a line that should never be crossed. Wow.

[@GeorgeMan1999]

. . .Mumkhar isn’t the most evil character in this game. That belongs to Zanza. Dickson and Lorithia are worse than he is too. At least Mumkhar got humanized in the Heart to Heart Dunban had with Melia. He’s irredeemable, but he isn’t the most evil.

[@mill2712]

Apparently according to the Japanese guide book stated by some commenters, the mass produced faces were only disabled, not destroyed.

[@louismackers]

Roll credits. What? We completed the game’s objective

[@tom_k_cook]

Can't roll credits, that objective was nothing more than A TROJAN HORSE.

[@lpfan4491]

he technicly died from an accident, so not really

[@HunterBlaze279]

Activate this cut scene with a machina blade omg it makes it funny

[@piplupboy21]

Something this does that the remake didnt do. Its minor but when Shulk says he wanted to destroy all Mechon his words echo loudly to show how big his resolve is compared to Dunbans

@@Helsionium It's really funny to see people get right up to the Mechonis and go "okay we're at like the final dungeon by now, right?" And then you laugh that they're *only halfway done.*

Oh. And wasn't there a scene where Shulk sees the future of Fiora falling of Galahad Fortress? I thought it was right after this one but the next cutscene you have is "Enter Galahad Fortress" :U

[@Jamieberigan]

Yes there is. However it was recorded separately. And a year later because of problems with his recording equipment at the time (2012)

How did you reach level 99 so fast, I was merely level 53 or so by the time I reached that point in the game?

[@bluefighter4612]

i just don't like that they have him die by circumstance after giving this big speech about not wanting to kill him. Just really undermines the message.

[@autosaver]

Why do you have Dunban with heavy armor? Agility Gems + Light Armor is the way to go. :p

[@Jamieberigan]

Stop telling him what to wear. It's his copy of the game and he can customize the characters anyway he wants

Let´s be honest here, with a T-Rating, Mumkhars neck would be long gone with Shulk being the one who did him in.

[@darkraihedgehog1705]

This cutscene was x7 before x7 was x7

[@MisterHeroman]

Only bad part is that Shulk pussied out, with weak logic to boot. Now THAT was generic anime shit. Sticking with revenge would have been better.

[@Supaninjafication]

"Murder is bad" seems like a good reason to me.

[@mindshuffler3332]

It's hard to shoot someone, but it's even harder to put the gun down.

[@The_Admiral_Angel]

Shulk's want for revenge was already generic to begin with. He soon realizes that revenge isn't always the solution to your problems. But eh, Metal Face died either way.

[@mindshuffler3332]

Pit ピット He died the most poetic way, impaled through the body just like his victims.

[@JayPley]

Actually, having just watched this scene for the first time, I think this was a pretty fitting ending for Metal Face. I really did not expect Shulk to intervene here. But that moment of sudden compassion really built up Shulk's character and made me like him 10x more than I already did. I mean really, Mumkhar's death was his own fault. If he hadn't been so angry and jealous all the time, he wouldn't have blindly rushed to his own death, and he wouldn't even have been in this situation in the first place. Really, it was ironic and poetic justice for him to go out this way. Plus on top of that, we got to see how compassionate Shulk as a protagonist could really be, which added a whole new layer to his character. We saw how Shulk was really just trying to be a good person and remember what he was fighting for, rather than just being an angry fool (like Mumkhar and Eren from AoT).
