Xenoblade Chronicles 3 DESTROYED me... | CHAPTER 5 REACTIONS

[@nilsk4720]

I love how you restarted your xenoblade uploads, in true xenoblade fashion with the "emotional damage"-chapter

[@LorieMegistus]

LMAOO! I literally came back swinging

[@Darkseid3r]

It’s good to keep a record!

[@MK73DS]

"Pick it up" This is probably the most evil thing an antagonist ever said.

[@LorieMegistus]

It was so cruel 😭

[@KayFiOS]

Getting flashbacks from Puss in Boots: The Last Wish.

[@Shirkules]

2 years later this shit still hits different, what a fucking story.

[@Dante1282]

yeah i still cry when seeing this scene

[@Confron7a7ion7]

She doesn't just die every time. She dies FIRST every time.

[@LorieMegistus]

Pain 😭

[@ag9953]

Everyone cries with the jail scene, but it takes a real human heart to cry in the baby scene, it's so incredibly moving, especially when you realize these kids have been robbed of this joy for so long.

[@LorieMegistus]

The baby scene meant so very much to me. One of my favorite scenes in the entire game!

[@LordKai1102]

I actually didn't cry out at the jail scene, but as a person who had grown up without a father for certain reasons... This made me explode in tears. I kinda thought that this emotional scar did heal long ago. But the game has proven me otherwise. It's just so cruel for parents to have to leave thier children so early.

[@D2KX]

XC3 was my GOTY when it came out, and it was my first XC ever. what an amazing game (and an amazing story DLC)

[@ShallBePurified]

I want to know, without playing Xenoblade 1 or 2, how much of the DLC were things that you didn't understand even after finishing it? Because it references a lot of things from the first 2 games so I want to know someone's opinion who started with 3 and then went to the DLC.

[@keith_squared]

This chapter finale/opening is absolute art. I can't watch any of it again without crying.

[@LorieMegistus]

It really was so beautiful! I loved it so much

[@JohnJohn-ux6bo]

Thank you for continuing to post these, even though they aren't your best performing videos! You're one of my favorite Xenoblade content creators and the effort is appreciated! Your love for the series comes across in every video.

[@LorieMegistus]

Thank you so much ❤ that means the world! I love the Xenoblade series so very much and am just happy to share that with other folks who feel the same. I appreciate you for watching!

[@yeetsunday6205]

To think monica’s VA is the same person who said “I am malenia, blade of miquella” Aswell as Mio’s VA being the same as the lunar princess in elden ring

The entire team at MonolithSoft created something very special and very magical with the Xenoblade Chronicles franchise that is still amazing that the first Xenoblade game became the greatest JRPG of its generation and also help revitalize the JRPG genre when it first released and lead to this incredible story-driven trilogy. We’ve come a long way since the Operation Rainfall fan campaign. Even after so many past projects from Xenogears, Xenosaga, and Baten Kaitos, it was Xenoblade Chronicles that shined a bright light at their studio and help them create a franchise that has garnered mainstream success and appeal, that they are satisfied with, and feel compelled and confident to further challenge themselves into what new stories to tell and new ideas and inspirations they can make in their future projects they are working on next. Each game has some powerful plot twisting moments that MonolithSoft probably did not know would literally have fans crying during those moments. In case anyone is new to Xenoblade or is just curious. Back then with Xenogears and Xenosaga, MonolithSoft wanted to create a six story narrative (Perfect Works), but most of their work had to be cut. But now, MonolithSoft along with Nintendo giving them creative freedom accomplished that vision that Tetsuya Takahashi had. Telling a complete six story narrative in Xenoblade Chronicles and its DLC expanded stories and completing the current story in the “Klaus saga”. -Xenoblade Chronicles -Future Connected (Epilogue Story) -Xenoblade Chronicles 2 -Torna The Golden Country (Prequel Story) -Xenoblade Chronicles 3 -Future Redeemed (Prequel Story)

52:02 "I'm glad they have each other." Big OOF LMAO.

[@LordKai1102]

@2:38:30 This scene right there...Destroyed me completely. It was also just a few days ago I saw this live in stream and broke out into tears - a fully grown man in the age of 32 already. But as person who never had a dad for...reasons. This cutscene broke me entirely as it buried up scars to the surface which I thought to been healed over a decade ago already...but this game has proven me wrong. Sorry for probably bad english tho. Love your reactions to this. ♥ :) Much love from Germany!

[@the_regressor]

When I got to the end of Chapter 5 at 1am, I knew it was going to be a 2am kinda night, cause I needed ANSWERS 😭

[@LorieMegistus]

oh noooo, yeah I was warned that I should go to bed before I continued just in case LOL I'm glad I did or I would have not gone to bed that night!

[@FatedTim]

Watching this again is so nostalgic :) excited to feel everything again

[@LorieMegistus]

It was so nostalgic editing it ;o; hoping for something soon from Monolith so we can all escape from the Endless Now lmao

[@jessica_albert3563]

@@LorieMegistus I highly recommend playing xenogears, if you like xenoblades you will surely love it

[@TonyKanameKuran]

This episode kicks my soul triple time. Your reaction is the same as mine... raw emotional content. Mio truly loves Noah.

[@Magic0YT]

Amazing Franchise amazing stories thank you Lorie for your reactions, we all felt like you more than once in each cutscene and whatever the future holds for Monolithsoft I be there. Let them coooook!

[@LorieMegistus]

Anxiously awaiting more from Monolith! Cannot wait!!!

[@FAI_CW]

This game holds your heart with that gorilla grip. Been through a lot personally back when the game released, so it hit hart. On a lighter note, I'm glad you love Ghondor as much as I do. The Boondocks vibes are real haha

[@samuelchallis3420]

It took me so long to realize why Dirk showed his face lol

[@shadowlinkx9180]

The end of ch5/start of ch6 absolutely broke my heart😭. Never has a game made me cry so much that I had headache lol. Amazingly written game. I’m glad that you’re enjoying this game, more people need to experience this series

[@LorieMegistus]

It really is so perfect! I agree so much, this game destroyed me so much from start to finish.

[@Chronostinman1]

Lmao I've been looking for this reaction for so long.

[@LorieMegistus]

omg thank you for your patience 😭stronger than the marines!

[@uncleiroh5983]

I really needed this today. Thank you, Lorie

[@LorieMegistus]

Aw, thank YOU, Iroh! Hope you feel better 💕

[@gerardoantoniozerpachacin6580]

Mio with My Noah she's basically saying: I love you Noah❤😢

[@LorieMegistus]

🥺🥺🥺

[@ZipLocke]

THIS IS WHAT WE’VE BEEN WAITING FOR

[@PoPo-qp8zq]

We're so back! I remember starting the prison section around 12 AM, thinking it would be quick, but then I ended up playing until 4 in the morning 😭 It's so Peak. 😩

[@LorieMegistus]

My chat told me to go to bed because they knew if I started that I would not sleep that night LMAO

[@RepedeTheWarrior]

Omg me rewatching that scene and darn it tears started coming down on my face again. I so miss xenoblade series 😢 GOTY for me Lorie and it will always be the best along with the dlc and characters we all enjoy and share!

[@LorieMegistus]

I miss it so much too ;o;

[@colinth22]

There are very few things I would describe as "soulcrushing" Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Chapter 5 is one of those things.

[@meerzanazmi2823]

2:32:59: Didn't know we were allowed to say that You went from Varik Moon to SEGGS

[@yaboy1414]

I’m about to go through this game again

[@LorieMegistus]

Heck yeah! Enjoy!!!

[@valkeriancreator]

2:43:20 She predicted what was going to happen! Great intuition 😄🎉

[@Drewtendo]

The scenes with their child is hitting so much harder now that I'm a dad...

[@LorieMegistus]

Felt that. Being a parent, that scene hits a bit differently 😭

[@Drewtendo]

@@LorieMegistus I'm pretty new to your channel. I didn't realize you were a parent, too! I hope you and your family are doing well!

[@eratheoracle]

M isn't an offseer. She helped start the tradition, but wasn't one herself. So why does "M"'s boss music have flutes overlapping the normal moebius theme? The answer is quite simple. They had already swapped. That's not an M boss fight. It's a Mio boss fight, with M as a party member. The whole sequence between chapters 5 and 6 is just absolutely peak writing and voice acting. Aimee-Ffion Edwards and Harry McEntire did such an amazing job portraying both halves of their characters, bringing out their conflicting emotions and making it feel so *real* that no matter how many times I see this scene, knowing how it ends, it always brings me to tears. Noah's descent into grief, "Pick it up", N's further descent to madness when he figures out M and Mio's plan, M's regret and hope for the future; you can really *feel* what the characters do in those moments. This game is a series of some of the best feature length movies you'll ever see, stacked together in trench coat while *still* remaining one of the best jrpgs I've played gameplay wise. It is... *Phenomenal.*

[@nickjones8619]

What an emotional wringer. It stays with you.

[@LorieMegistus]

It really does. I still haven't gotten over this chapter

[@GCLU]

So Chapter 5/6 trended on twitter for some reason or another. I have no clue why /s

[@LorieMegistus]

It’s totally because Riku suplexed N into the sun. It was wild to see!

[@Jaekization]

This really should have won GOTY. While the other games may have had more ‘polish’ I really don’t think any of them topped Xeno 3’s storytelling at all.

[@joshuatrees6001]

Your reaction to Dirk’s face is SOOOO REAL LMAO he’s so hot idc

[@LorieMegistus]

LMAOOO NOOOO 😭

[@nefylia4037]

Time for emotional devastation! Also dannnng 3 hours? No wonder it took so long to edit lol

[@LorieMegistus]

Right?? I was so chaotic when I was streaming it that trying to edit down like 7-12 hours VODs down was rough LOL

[@xKiiks]

I'm new in here and idk if you play Xenogears but if not you should! XC3 have much of that game.

[@LiquidNS]

Omg your finally playing the best part of the game 😭

[@LorieMegistus]

SUUUUCH a good chapter but honestly I love every part of this game ;o;

[@johncanderson162]

It's a shame you left out all the Shania scenes in chapter 5 prior to the heel turn, would have liked to have seen your reaction to her character up to that point.

[@LorieMegistus]

this video was already soooo long so I had to really pick and choose what I kept in. I do have a VODs channel though and the full vods will be uploaded there! www.youtube.com/@LoriesVODs

[@johncanderson162]

​@@LorieMegistus I'll definitely check it out. What Xenoblade 3 does so great is give us antagonists whose motivations are believable and compelling. Joren, Shania, and N are among those who would otherwise have been good people, but the world warped them in such a way that there could be no other outcome for their actions. N especially was tortured for cycle after cycle of seeing his soulmate perish right before his eyes, and be taunted by Zed to surrender until it finally happened. The lack of choice time after time was devastating for him, and gradually turned him into a monster. Even Shania, whose actions are inexcusable, is understandable when you see the pressure and pain she is suffering. This is the brilliance of this game, right now it's my favorite.
