Xenoblade 3: The Peak of the Xenoblade Trilogy

Xenoblade Chronicles 3, the story of how I grew to really fucking appreciate the flute. (I'm not crying you are)

[@famillesabot5719]

How did you know ?🥺😭

[@jacobmonks3722]

The Xenoblade series has very quickly become my favorite game series of all time. The passion, care, and vision that goes into these games is mind blowing, and even the things I don't like about the games are interesting to talk about and pick apart. The worlds and characters that Takahashi created are going to stay in my mind for a long time.

[@machodgdon]

Making Noah’s opening monologue framed as an old black and white movie, especially when you know what happens later in the game, is genius

[@redbirdtribe]

Even though I've seen the same tons of times, I cry even in a shorter cut version of the fucking chapter 5 cutscenes. God damn it. Why does it hit so hard fuck. I'm listening to this driving in my car and it's still fucking makes me cry. Jesus Christ

[@gameregression539]

I’m glad someone finally gives the villains the credit they deserve. They weren’t written worse than previous games, they were just different because they serve a different purpose. In a game so deeply focused on how characters respond to the realization of how little time they have, a character made as a reflection of those feelings is perfect.

[@bianks3916]

They're 100% written worse, they're different I can understand someone appreciate them, but Z as a main villan is the worse of the trilogy, the same goes for some of others villains like Shania and J-boy one is the most over used concept for a villain in anime but exaggerated in her actions, one is J C'mon. (Dirk is also bad I guess?) N is awesome, reminds me of Anakin but with all the abstractionism that characterizes xc3 (again someone can dislike abstract things and others like it). Z and Moebius in general are retarded, they're the summer ruler of the world controlling literally everything, Z can kill people just passing by them. For a comparison just imagine Freezer and his army on earth when goku was a kid. The only Enemy of Moebius (and they say it) are Uroboros, instead of instantly kill them (Remember they had potentially control over every single soldier of any colony, know Uroboros position almost every time and had multiple moebius than could killed them since the start) they decided to "send" the weakest moebius possible every time. If Z, N, M, X, Y, or even 2 Moebius or 2 controlled colonies were enough to killed Uroboros. Meanwhile the party started to save colony after colony, killing moebius and advancing all Z did was watch his stupid movie, all of this just to saying "I underestimate you" when you fight him; really Z? no way! They even couldn't beat us after what Shania did, they put us in prison. All of this stupidity is in contrast with Z character who act like a god that knows everything, which unbeatable army got destroyed by 6 guys. Even Zanza that is a simple villan who (jrpg clichè) is gad that what to destroy the world, has a valid plan and as a character is more than just fascinating bc his mysterious and his the manifestation of some shit like Z.

[@hugoflores1093]

Man, what a video I agree with everything you said And i too am about to finish university, this game really came at the best possible moment and i must say i love all of it The music, the story, the characters, the themes, the sidequests, the exploration, the views, the combat, the voice acting This honestly is my GOTY and has become one of my favorite games ever

[@RamenBomber]

It's absolutely my GOTY for sure and after sitting on it, probably beats Xenoblade 1 as my favorite game of all time. Glad you were able to relate and thanks for watching!!

[@ben5424]

I am also in the same boat regarding uni and stepping into the unknown. The message of this game means a lot to me.

[@DarkDezhel]

I hope it get's nominated this year GOTY! I'm not really into RPG, and even less for the JRPG BUT... a friend almost forced me to play XC2 and Torna... Then I decided to buy XC3 for my own xDD And here I'm in episode 6, enjoying an amazing game! something i havent found in so many years!

[@keeysOST]

One of the things that is probably going to stay with me forever is Noah's speech at the end. It legit felt like he was personally speaking to me and my experiences in life so far.

[@carterwilliams1556]

My gosh this is actually the best analysis of XC3 and it’s themes that I’ve seen anywhere. And beautifully presented as well. Major props! This game is definitely my favorite of the series, and this video only makes me appreciate it more. Any more analysis/discussion videos you do on this game, I’ll definitely be watching. Especially if you do one on the OST haha.

[@momentaryretrospect5967]

I'm pretty sure the homecoming being a permanent death statement was a lie to make Noah fall into despair.

[@neku2741]

Xenoblade 3 is peak jrpg. Chapter 5 ending and Chapter 6 beginning is the best piece of fiction I've ever seen. The writing, the visual, the acting, the characters, everything is perfection.

[@Tohlemiach]

funny that the "peak" you describe is before the end of the game. I wonder what happens in chapter 7? Guess the world will never know!

[@hammerbro2833]

If you haven’t realized the font of the title is actually being seen-off as well as the term marking being in the 3, other games importance’s to the story were included in their titles as well, Xenoblade 1’s title is written similar to the arts of the Monado, as well as definitive edition adding feathers for future connected and Melia’s importance to the story. Xenoblade 2’s logo has the logo set ablaze by Pyra’s flame and the marking on her chest being in the 2. It’s amazing how much love these developers put into the game that they even add little details like this to the Logos of the game. Thank you Monolith for giving us these amazing experiences.

[@frog8779]

@@hammerbro2833 yeah it makes sense when you think about it, the characters are supposed to seem foreign. So for a game produced in Japan it wouldn't make sense to make them just japanese characters. It would be like if the game was produced in America, and we just made them letters or words.

[@frog8779]

[@robertomacetti7069]

this summer i tried xc2 by complete accident, not knowing literally nothing of the series, the start was kinda rough, but the experience was overall amazing and jumped into xc3 straight after i actually enjoyed 2 way more, might be because i didn't have any expectation and it caught me by surprise, while the opposite happened with 3, incredibly high expectations after xc2, and it didn't live up to them, that's on me but still, if someone would have told me i would be so invested in the story of a game when i'm more of a "gameplay first" guy i would have laughed at, but xenoblade pulled this feat on me despite the odds and i will forever cherish the series i absolutely loved xc3 as well of course, don't get me wrong, it was an emotional rollercoaster... it's just... rex and his gang feel more charming to me but i love you xenoblade chronicles 3, i love you, and all of you guys

[@GantaIgarashi]

Glad to know there is someone else who enjoyed XC2 just as I did when I first played it. I remember playing 2 right after it came out at 2019 with full knowledge of 1's story through let's plays from chuggaconroy which is the reason why I bought the game when it released. There was no Definitive Edition for me to play and at the time the Wii (which I didn't have and couldn't afford to buy) was the only place to play and the game and its UI and gameplay were a little outdated at the time. I also didn't put high expectations on the game when I first bought it and it surprised me on how much I enjoyed playing the game. The story was compelling and the gameplay was fantastic that I always have an adrenaline rush while doing chain attacks which I still can't find in 1 and 3's. While I know people bash on the gatcha system for its randomness and how it stops you from experiencing the game a 100% if you are completing it but I felt that the mechanic made replays through the game much more appealing than 1 or 3s. Sure the game is fun the first time around but when you play it a second time you already have a general idea of your team composition, classes, arts, accessories, etc. For 2 the Blades you get are random and that makes your own playthrough of a game much more personal as depending on what kind you get or lack of the way you approached battles can differ each time you start over again. To this day I've played the game at least 10 times with each playthrough being unique every time and beating it as well with satisfaction of going through it multiple times while recording it on my notebook of how different each playthrough was each time. XC2 and its characters were charming and appealing to me as I could relate to Rex as a young protagonist whose optimism reminded me of when I was his age where I always looked at the bright side of things. Learning about his tragic backstory and the painful experiences he was going to face made me admire how he could still smile even in the face of despair and act as a guiding light for me and the party members who follow him in his quest to find Elysium. I also found how people who tried to make Rex face reality that he can't do everything to be the same as the people who doubted my potential and tried to put me down due to "living longer" or "being more experienced" than I was. Despite this Rex pushes on and learns to fight his own war without letting the burdens of the past shackle him to fight foe the future and the one he loves. Pyra and Mythra were fantastic at showing how trauma can change a person both figuratively and physically. They made a big mistake in the past and have condemned themselves for their sins due to the fear of repeating what they did before. They punish themselves constantly yet Rex keeps on reaching out to them both and accepting them for who they are. Eventually they are able to bear this burden and finally tap into their true selves and power to live for the future. I could go on but without Rex, Pyra/Mythra, Nia, Dromarch, Morag, Brighid, Tora, Poppi, Zeke, Pandoria, and Gramps I might not have liked XC3 as much since I get to see their legacy make into the world of Aionios. Sadly I also had high expectation of XC3 and that might have made me feel the last 2 Chapters of the game to fall short in my eyes. Hopefully the DLC can change how I feel and give me a good story that I can say that the game was able to make me forget this feeling.

[@lukiauriga]

Wow, I am really glad that youtube decided to recommend me this video out of the blue because it was marvelous. The way you present all the wonderful traits of XC3, combined with the amazing editing made for an incredible experience of a video, I really do hope that both this video as well as XC3 get the recognition and praise they deserve.

[@blackbomber72]

I agree a lot and had the same thoughts as you, but you tied up so neatly the ending, with both your script and the scenes you chose, especially Sena and Lanz sacrifice while talking about how holding to the present can destroy you, I really never thought of overheating as that, I literally took it for granted (matter antimatter something something). Now I am convinced the ending is the best it could be, and how it ties to live the Now to the fullest, since you never know which paths there will be in the future. Thanks, it was an amazing video and you made me cry a lot again.

[@egbertmilton4003]

To think that the funny Xenoblade music meme man, would make such a lovely analysis of a masterpiece of a game. I wish I could buy it, but until then, I will look fondly on these videos for giving me the true Xenoblade 3 experience. Only thing I would wish for is more of the fleshed out Moebius characters, like I, Triton, D, J, S and so on. But nonetheless, this game will be beloved

[@4daptability991]

I absolutely love how much effort you put into this analysis. Even small touches (like the cinema lens over moments that didn't have it in game) go a long way in capturing the retrospective tone. I'm glad Monolith Soft made this gem of a game, and I'm glad it's inspired tons of detailed breakdown videos that give it the attention it deserves.

[@epyon542]

This game took the place of my favorite game of all time, replacing NieR Automata. I love the themes of existentialism in Automata and what it means to be alive, but this game and the struggle between moving on an living in the now struck such a strong cord with me. It's the same reason the finale of The Office hits so damn hard for me. I'm moving on to my 30s, I've seen friend groups come and go with my current one being the longest standing one but I dread the day that this one moves on too, but I know it's coming. The message of living for the future and the now means a lot to me.

[@BulbaWhat98]

Xenoblade truly is an amazing series, with Xenoblade 3 feeling like the peak

[@fusionstar2873]

I've watched quite a few analysis videos on XC3 since finishing the game myself, and I have to say that this is easily the best of the bunch and is simply a fantastic video on its own merits. The editing is great, the voice clips/scenes you used from the game fit perfectly and are done incredibly well, and your insight on the different themes of the game includes details I personally missed and further elevates an already phenomenal game. Like many I found this channel because of the admittedly amusing and enjoyable "funny cat videos", but after seeing this I really look forward to seeing more like it as well (especially if they're even close to the same quality as this one).

[@RamenBomber]

That is such incredibly high praise, thank you so much!!! Genuinely appreciate it and I'll do my best to keep up the quality!

[@darkshifter3656]

One of my favorite parts of this game was the side quests. I either get a new hero with their own sad or funny story or I get some entertaining character interactions amoung the group.

[@potatoarcher3985]

I'd really like if you made more videos like this, you have a really nice, soothing storytelling voice and I really like how you explained your thoughts on the story, I completely agreed with every point you made. I still have a *very* special place in my heart for XC1 and XC3 was just incredible so at this point, I don't even know which I love more 😂😭

[@Kargarok107]

Holy shit, I just don't know what a to say, what a perfect video. Keep it up!

[@RamenBomber]

Thank you so much!!!! Will do

[@Thundertron55]

This video has completely changed my opinion on the game. While I do still have my gripes with the story, mainly how chapter 6 and 7 feel kinda rushed, I now appreciate it a whole lot more. Thank you so much for making this amazing video!

[@JaynezPlays]

What an amazing video! It's so cool to see what other people got out of this game. Especially since this game seems to be so special to so many people, including myself. I'm really glad that this video was recommended to me! Loved every bit of it!

[@neonbeta1012]

So I have some good news! Maybe, Takahashi has stated he wants to continue the series. However, I don’t want Nintendo to milk it dry, I want him- the director and creator of this franchise part of the larger XenoSeries, take his time with it. I want to see where this crazy universe can go. And if I have to wait six or more years for the next Xenoblade, so be it. I can wait as long as it takes. This franchise is special to me, and I want to see it get the love it truly deserves

[@EvilMike349]

While I would absolutely agree that 3 combines the best parts of 1 and 2, I would argue that they also implemented some of the best aspects of X and proved to the community that they haven't forgotten about it! I'm still hoping for an X definitive edition before Nintendo releases their next console! Edit: Forgot to say, this video is incredible! It's so awesome to see this series getting the love and respect it truly deserves, and it's heart-wrenching to see so many other people that these stories resonate with gushing about this game. The quality of every bit of content in 3 has skyrocketed, and I'm more excited than ever to see where this series goes in the future!

[@rollypp2981]

Great video man. I just beat Xenoblade 3 the other day and even though it feels weird to say its better than Xeno 1, it truly feels like it is. Such an amazing series overall

[@juanpablogonzalez7130]

I finished the game about 2 days ago, and i was thinking they same thing about the main massage: Don't stick to the past, even to present, even if the future scares you. Never give up, keep walking. I think this is a message for the japanese peopple, we all know the situation right now at that country. The hihikomori thing, the depressed they are, and the amazing amount of peopple that finish their own life. It reminds me FFIX a lot...

[@TurnerVGC]

Really good analysis! This is such a high quality video! Its good to see more appreciation for this game as time goes by. It really deserves it! One thing that really got me was how little they cared about life and death and how little they react to the circumstances around them involving death because of their short life of war and conflict. Chapter 5 comes around and seeing Mio/M acknowledge this and how hard they now want to fight to survive, and how hard it affects Noah and the crew is absolutely devastating. Just absolutely top tier writing!

[@loljab9322]

Genuinely phenomenal video, the editing and writing put into this, and the extra effort to include context regarding what you're talking about via gameplay/cutscenes. Amazing.

[@Zanolith]

Wow. I never thought I I would actually find a video that understands the story as I do. Everything you said is exactly my point of view and why I love this game, especially when it comes to Z. I think what makes the ending even worse is time gets reset, and now the party is not only worlds apart, but if they someone can meet again they probably won’t fully remember each other. It’s really bittersweet to think about, and is one of the reason I would love to see an epilogue dlc that tackles the consequences of the main party’s actions. Like you I’m in a very similar position rn in my own life, and this game hit me just as hard. I know a lot of people were upset with the lack of returning characters, the villains in the story and some narrative choices, but honestly I think Xenoblade 3 standing on its own while using the legacy of 1 and 2 is what allows it to be as strong as it is. The ending encapsulates the themes perfectly, and I am really curious to see how they would tackle that in a potential follow up dlc. Regardless if that happens or not, the story and overall game is just incredible, and it is by far one of the best video game stories ever told. I find it to be very thematic when you look back and see that the xenoblade trilogy tackled the future, past and present respectively, and how each of the characters both protagonists and antagonists are effected by it. All I know is I can’t say for the dlc and whatever comes next, great video man.

[@Codename_Crow]

[@omnart]

Fantastic video! I love discovering well-made video essays from smaller creators! Keep up the great work!

[@LoomDoom]

This was a great review man. The story’s main message of moving on and accepting that the present can’t last forever is beautiful. You’ve earned a sub from me!

[@maxg2335]

The message of the game hit me hard. I've stuck in a very comfortable job for years now that offers no opportunities for growth or progress. Any time I felt like I needed to find something new and challenge myself I would hesitate to do it because I'm so used to where I am. Next month I'm changing careers completely and finally growing my limited life experience. I'm still anxious because leaving the comfort zone is hard for me but I know I won't regret it later.

[@HeroponMan]

Fantastic video brother. I'm in the same boat as you right now... not exactly looking forward to graduating, but it has to be done. Time is better spent counting your blessings now and looking towards the future, rather than agonizing about it and being stagnant. May God guide you, and best of luck out there man. You got it.

[@anonymousgamer5416]

Dude I loved your video analysis. There were so many things about 3 that made me love it a lot and I think the main cast played such a huge factor for why it's up there with 1 for me. I agree a lot with the themes presented but MAN... The connection you made with Interlinking and how it ultimately breaks you if you hold on to it for too long was Simply Outstanding! (And thematically consistent) Looking forward to more of your in-depth analyses.

[@Xenowolf8]

Xenoblade 1 will pretty much always be my favorite game ever, but goddamn they put so much effort into Xenoblade 3 and it’s amazing. This is what Xenoblade 2 would be like if it was executed better and not rushed.

[@Hephaestus_God]

I'm going to speak some cold hard facts for a second. (generic spoilers but nothing specific) Xenoblade 3 is an amazing game, but it's not the peak of the trilogy. If we compare writing with the past 2 games, Xenoblade 1 has by far the best writing, plot twists, and plot points in the series as a whole. And Xenoblade 2, for the amount of people that shit on it, has made me cry more than every other xenoblade game i've played. Xeno 2 also heavily, heavily makes up for itself in the last half of the game while Xenoblade 3 actually gets worse at the end in my opinion. The last 2 chapters of Xenoblade 3 were just so "eh" at best. Especially the last one. I think this has to do with how we have become spoiled by the Xenoblade formula (which probably isn't a good thing on our part. The game did well diverging from it or trying to). And by that I mean there were no plot twists. Sure there was one giant chapter plot twist, but when it came down to the villains nothing happened. We knew who the enemy was from the very beginning and we just beat him in the end. Very linear and simple, like most stories. (I won't talk about how the fight was very boring as well, it was just a long cutscene pretty much, albeit a pretty one). It's an odd feeling. The game did nothing wrong, but lots of people were betrayed by our own expectations at the very end. I loved the game and have sunk hundreds of hours into it up to now, but I would have to put it below Xeno 1 and 2 personally in the series in terms of the overall story (we will see about the additional story DLC). In terms of gameplay, I'd rank it 1st probably, it was very fluid and fun to fight.

[@emblemblade9245]

What makes 3 the best is that it dared to break away from its own formula in a way that echoes the characters in the story breaking the formula of their world.

I actually started playing this series out of curiosity in august of last year and after my time with the first game i was dead set on playing 2 and what do you know the week after buying 2 3 was announced, and i couldn't hold my excitment, i basically played them all back to back by coincidence and let me tell you, it's my new favorite game series without a shadow of a doubt. Furthermore, i agree with your analysis of the stories main themes, i feel i can relate to them and that's why i also believe it's my favorite story in the series, more than that, the game is my favorite in the series and of all time. And that ending, man, i'm actually glad it was bittersweet since not everything always ends perfectly in life, and seeing the short split second refrences to the first two games' characters only added to that, what and amazing game and what a great video you've made about it!

I just finished college about.. a yearish ago. and this game felt much of the same to me, my recordings of it are still uploading, granted I just upload LP's and am much smaller than yourself. but I entirely understand your feelings, the story resonated well with me. I still am finding my way with things, since I feel the school didn't properly prepare myself, but I entirely get the fears that moebius embody, nice video Pop Cat Music man. Takahashi and Monolith are Nintendo's best team I feel at the moment and their help is invaluable, I truly feel this game is GOTY.

[@lloydwolfeun]

Amazing work, well written and well put together in video form as well. Agree pretty much with everything you said here, and even gained a new perspective on a few things like how the Interlink ties into the themes of the game. There's so much to dissect and appreciate in this game. For all its flaws, it is still outstanding, an incredible and poignant experience that I will cherish forever.

[@ZephyrK_]

Ever since finishing the game, I've been reflecting on all the games messages and themes and how perfectly they embody human relationships and the overall universal experience of life itself both in the moment and towards an uncertain future, helping form an irreplaceable experience with XC3 for me the past few months. I've watched countless analyses on the game and while I enjoyed many, this video Ramen has to be my personal favourite. You've easily gained yourself a new subscriber and I greatly look forward to more in depth videos like this whenever you get the chance to make them. God Bless.

[@eyesofdeathperception6730]

I also do believe that this game is peak. It essentially drastically improves all of things that made XC2 good, and took out all of the bs in that game. I find the villains in XC2 to be stronger when it comes to characterization. But this does not mean that XC3 lacks tragic villains. I also found the ending to be far better than the ending in XC2. All with a hella satisfying message.

Good video but 32:41 the system wasn’t for the two worlds to merge safely. It was for them to mutually destroy each other but then be rebuilt, then drift apart from one another

[@rrrrrzhhh]

actually they're never stated that origin system is designed for safely merge worlds or for rebuilt them and drifting apart, but the first one is more logical, because worlds, that once were a single one, will always drift closer to each other, that's the point (sorry for bad english)

[@davemarin7340]

Every single detail is amazing and couldve only been thought of by people who love this series. The way the battle system alone uses X1 time based charge for keves attacks and X2 auto-based charge for agnus attacks

[@Flyfunner]

Worth to note: Xenoblade 3 is not the conclusion to the series, its just the conclusion to the story arc that started with klaus experiment. There will be more numbered Xenoblade Chronicles games, its just that their lore is not directly tied to that experiment anymore.

[@freezycastform99]

Honestly, this video deserves a thumb up simply because you absolutely blew my mind by making the connection between the Ourouboros forms being the perfect representation of the game's themes. I swear, I never made that observation and this game made my wannabe philosopher side go INSANSE with how much there is to unpack. Amazing video, you earned yourself a sub!

[@Dionaea_floridensis]

Been loving your Xenoblade content!

[@Kylie-hw1rg]

Hey dude, great video! Your cat vids are awesome, but I enjoyed listening to your thoughts, i think you have a good voice for this kind of content. Just subbed and I will definitely watch whatever comes next!

[@YungFalcon]

Banger video!!!

[@sdtrawick]

I loved Xenoblade 3 and it's my Game of the Year for 2022. But I still much prefer Xenoblade Definitive Edition.

[@rhydonphilip]

You really are talented for this, this is a well thought out and spoken analysis of the game.

[@milletmongoose]

What a wonderful review. Well produced and very thoughtful. I hope keep hold on to what you got out of this game going forward.

[@elias.t]

Come for the singing cats, stay for the analyses (and the singing cats).

[@JustJulyo]

Of course this a 40 minute analysis video and not about singing cats...

[@xviinaichi3793]

Thank you allot this video was really wonderful

[@Phantom-T]

Wonderful video! I am also about to leave college, about to head off into the real world whether I like it or not, but the themes of the series have always been with me to remind me that it's okay to be scared, but we must also fight for the future we want and grab the chance to seize our destinies! Also, you didn't have to play that piano rendition and do me like that ;_;

[@mrelectrodude9391]

Incredibly well made video :)

[@Duarte_GB]

Xenoblade X is very much a spinoff, even the message is diferent since its about human nature and the indomitable human spirit.

[@famillesabot5719]

I finaly finished the video. Your personal story is close to mine. It's maybe why loved the game story. It's because it's me.

[@Minarreal]

The cats, bro! Still, gonna watch this when I arrive home.

[@danielpratt3794]

Wow, that was amazing, I know after playing it 3 was my favourite but I couldn't pinpoint why? like I finished it (side quests and super bosses) and had fun but didn't feel the endless need to keep playing it as I did with 2 (swear I put like 180 hrs in that game) till eventually, I got sick of it. Then it hit me, things end and things change like yeah i will be back for the DLC and stuff but forcing myself to keep playing it expecting it to be as good as when I started kinda relates to the themes of the game which is why I'm so content being done with playing it. Also, I too am at university and though I'm enjoying the inconsequential nothingness of studying for the next week and having fun with friends but some big changes are coming soon that I'm kinda afraid of and wish what I'm comfortable with now keeps happening. So this story definitely strikes a chord with me. This is honestly quite cringey and feels like the "thanks for saving my life.... i am literally just a video game" meme but this game definitely feels like a timeless message where even if some parts are weaker than others it doesn't matter as it all coalesces into an amazing whole that will be one of my favourite stories for a while. So in short.............................Great video!

Lets goo

[@WeirdlyFantendo]

Peak Fiction!!!

[@jonathans3141]

Fantastic stuff man

[@leafguardian]

I can’t watch the video right now but judging by the title only straight facts peak Xenoblade (I’ll be back later to watch)

[@kevineeveron2693]

I am obsessed with it. At times it felt like they are stretching the story a bit tho, repeating dramatic speech here and there.

[@chosoi1873]

Wait no singing cats? Jk great video. Honestly the only problem I have with the story is Z. He is not that captivating as a villain. I’d care about him more if he was an actual character with personality like Malos or Zanza. Rather than being a culmination of fears and desires and all that anime bs. The rest of this game is PERFECTION. Specifically the gameplay. I still think I like the story and world of XC2 a little bit more, but the gameplay of 3 has a ton of replay value.

[@Finfran]

Very well done on this video, boss

[@littleredfox6849]

PLS do a video about the music *.*

[@mariokabisch4342]

First of all, great Video. However i am surprised that you didnt go into the music at all (esp. regarding ur other content). Is that because you didnt Like the music as much as the other two(or Just 1) or because of time constraints?

[@RamenBomber]

I tried to find a way to slide in my thoughts about the music but the video was already as long enough as is and with how I want to discuss it, I think it’d be better for me to give it its own separate video 🫡. That’ll most likely be what I work on next and will be a LOT shorter than this one but thank you so much for watching!
