History Funny / XenobladeChronicles2

** Earlier in the same scene, Tora [[NonSequitur randomly starts dancing in front of Rex]] while the latter tries to convince Nia to stay with them. Without missing a beat or even changing his tone (but his expression becomes visibly annoyed), Rex backhands Tora away and carries on with the conversation. [[FunnyBackgroundEvent Pyra is visibly surprised at it, partially covering her face in shock while Poppi simply watches Tora, not reacting at all.]] Tora just says on the ground for a few seconds before suddenly standing to look at Pyra when the conversation shifts to talking about her.

* There's one heart-to-heart in which Mórag and Brighid are cleaning a fish to cook it and are grossed out by it. To the point in which Mórag and Brighid are so grossed out, they whip out a fire ability and ''incinerate the poor thing''.

* Getting Poppi's QT pi form involves doing a ton of things just to make sure she looks good and is a proper lady. The last thing she has to do is pass a four-part class. The first three parts are simple skill checks and a memory game. When it comes time for fourth period, the teacher sends out...[[TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers a giant monster with an obscene amount of health for being level 50]]. Afterward, the party seriously questions the point of the fight, while the teacher remarks how [[BlackComedy Poppi was the first person to ever pass fourth period]].

* There's one heart-to-heart in which Mórag and Brighid are cleaning a fish to cook it and are grossed out by it. To the point in which Mórag literally takes out an Ether cannon and ''blasts the poor thing''. The way their voice actors deliver it like they're actually being attacked. Given what allegedly happened behind recording the voice lines[[labelnote:*]]The voice actors weren't given visuals to go along with their lines so they had little to no idea what was going on in the scene beyond context clues - while the Heart-to-hearts were recorded last[[/labelnote]] this can make it even ''more'' funny.

* Unique to the Japanese audio track, [[Creator/TohruFuruya Godfrey]] and [[Creator/ShuichiIkeda Aegaeon]] strike up a friendship post-battle. What makes it funny, as well as unique to the Japanese track only, is that it's an ironic seiyuu joke, these two being voiced by the two halves of anime's biggest archrivalry, [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam Amuro Ray and Char Aznable]], respectively.

'''Rex:''' I love you... and all you guys! So... let's do this! Together!

* In the pivotal moment of Chapter 7, Nia reveals her true form to save Rex, and proceeds to admit her love to him. At first, Rex is confused, but after getting his feet back he declares that he loves Nia too...along with everyone else in the party! Nia's reaction to his cluelessness is to laugh and admit that's probably the best she could have expected, and accepts it. It helps de-stress a dramatic situation.

* Kasandra's Heart-to-Heart takes place at the Cliffs of Morytha, specfically at Gotrock Oracle Ruins. This also happens to be the same place where ''Artifice Ophion'' shows up as a BonusBoss after reaching Chapter 10. Meaning it is entirely possible to do Kasandra's Heart-to-Heart [[UnusuallyUninterestingSight while Ophion is flying around the area]] occasionally clipping into Kasandra and her Driver, leading to some hilarity. Some fans have even joked about this being [[GameplayAndStoryIntegration intended and appropriate,]] however, given Kasandra is an established [[TheJinx bad luck magnet.]]

** In that same scene, Nia asks Zeke [[ExposedToTheElements if he'll be cold]], but he says he's used to it.

-->'''Zeke''': [[Memes/{{Nintendo}} I'm really feelin' it!]]

--->'''Rex''': "S...Seriously, though, what's their problem?"

-->'''Rex:''' [[LampshadeHanging "This is too ridiculous for words!"]]

-->'''Bana''': This is secret weapon based on blueprints of Lila... '''GIGANTIC ARTIFICIAL BLADE: [[TrrrillingRrrs RRRRROSA!]] [[EvilLaugh AHAHAHA!]]'''[[labelnote:And then...]]Bana proceeds to use the same overdramatic "Rrrrrrosa" pronunciation ''in his following line'', and no fewer than ''4 times'' in total during the same boss fight (three times in cutscenes and once in battle).[[/labelnote]]

-->'''Bana''': Meh meh! You know how much evil cost? You'll pay for this!

-->'''Zeke''': "Sad, really. If it was still working, I could have given everyone a taste of the Zekenator's Fifth..."
* Near the end of the game, the Architect drops a [[SelfDeprecation Self-Deprecating]] LampshadeHanging on the ''Xeno'' meta-series and its habit of naming things after religious and philosophical concepts when he reveals Malos's true name: Logos. Malos asks what that name means, and gets the response "It means nothing. All it represents is the ego of those who named you".

-->'''Nia:''' Will. You. Get. [[SuddenlyShouting OFF ME ALREADY!!]] [as she gets up and throws Tora off]

--->'''Mythra''': Don’t worry, I’ll protect you from the ''scary dark.''

-->'''Brighid:''' "This feels like a demotion..."\\
'''Poppi MK.II:''' "Poppi has to file complaint!"\\
'''Poppibuster:''' "The complaint protocol is currently undergoing maintenance"\\
'''[[{{Yandere}} Azami]]:''' "You're sending me off? For ''THIS''? You..."\\
'''[[BloodKnight Sever]]:''' "''Really?''"\\
'''Percival:''' "I withdraw reluctantly..."

-->'''Godfrey:''' "My strength and Aegaeon's technique, there's no enemy we can't face! I'll keep counting on you partner!"
-->'''Aegaeon:''' "Partner... It's not a bad sound, this is my partner!"

* Near the end of the game, the Architect drops a [[SelfDeprecation Self-Deprecating]] LampshadeHanging on the ''Xeno'' meta-series and its habit of naming things after religious and philosophical concepts when he reveals Malos's true name: Logos. Malos asks what that means, and gets the response "It means your creators were a bunch of pretentious fools".

* Near the end of the game, the Architect drops a TakeThatUs LampshadeHanging on the ''Xeno'' meta-series and its habit of naming things after religious and philosophical concepts when he reveals Malos's true name: Logos. Malos asks what that means, and gets the response "It means your creators were a bunch of pretentious fools".

* The beginning cutscene of Dahlia's side quest has a little girl complementing Dahlia's looks and way of speaking while roasting poor Zeke at the same time.

* Nim hates Mor Ardanians... which becomes hilarious considering that Mòrag joins the party, but it becomes even ''more'' hilarious if Nim is bonded to ''Mòrag'' herself.

* Zeke's has the worst start-up when it comes to using arts with a Mega-Lance, not because he's truly bad at it, but because he spends the whole start-up animation twirling the lance overhead like he's showing off what the "Zeke-inator" is capable of.

* One Heart-to-Heart involves Tora asking [[LadyLooksLikeADude Mòrag]] to bathe with him, Zeke and Rex. HilarityEnsues. Even better is that in one of the options, Mòrag actually ''accepts'', not wanting to hurt Tora's feelings, but will only bathe in her clothes. The other option has Tora making a huge deal upon learning that Mòrag is a woman, going to the point of publicizing it. Zeke tries to milk the joke for all its worth before Mòrag eventually has enough and tells him to die in a fire.

* One late game Heart-to-Heart features Azurda trying to coax Rex into confessing his love to Pyra after Rex delivers a heartfelt "you're like family" to me line. Rex backpeddles to a "I love you and everyone else" excuse and Azurda apologizes to Pyra for Rex's lack of backbone and says that she'll have to work harder to get him to confess. What clinches it is Pyra's knowing answer:

* Kasandra's Heart-to-Heart takes place at the Cliffs of Morytha, specially at Gotrock Oracle Ruins. This also happens to be the same place where ''Artifice Ophion'' shows up as a BonusBoss after reaching Chapter 10. Meaning it is entirely possible to do Kasandra's Heart-to-Heart [[UnusuallyUninterestingSight while Ophion is flying around the area]] occasionally clipping into Kasandra and her Driver, leading to some hilarity. Some fans have even joked about this being [[GameplayAndStoryIntegration intended and appropriate,]] however, given Kasandra is an established [[TheJinx bad luck magnet.]]

* In keeping with the rapid growth speed nopon get when hitting puberty, especially if they become bigger than average nopon, there is a young nopon in Argentum that you are introduced to near the start of the game via a quest that involves playing hide and seek. By chapter 8 of the game, however, Talulu has grown to be nearly as big as Tora; doubling their former size. Talulu simply thinks they've been eating too much.

* In Chapter 6, the team must investigate a rumor that someone is attempting to assassination the leaders of Mor Adain and Uraya during a diplomatic meeting. Their investigation turns up that a Nopon has been seen buying poisons, that Tirkin (who Bana had previously associated with) have been seen near the site of the peace summit with some rather strong-scented ingredients, and that some mysterious deliveries have been made to the same location. The team bursts in to find a group of Tirkin messing with the food. They attack... only to find out that those particular Tirkin were a perfectly innocent team of chefs who had been hired to cater the meeting, and that Bana's ''actual'' plan is somewhat less subtle: smuggle in an "upgraded" version of the Rosa from chapter 4 and just attack outright.

'''Mòrag:''' Well that was easy.\\

* Skye Bennett, the voice actress for Pyra and Mythra, has taken to streaming her own ''[=XC2=]'' playthrough.
** Her [[https://youtu.be/0iG4-rkM-bw?t=3609 reaction to Poppi's activation scene]], including everybody's reaction ("...wut?"), and commenting on Rex's look of disapproval.
--->'''Skye''': He's like, "Tora, you kinky bastard..."
* When Mythra was revealed as a Spirit in ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosUltimate'', her outfit had been slightly redesigned to cover her CleavageWindow and add tights over her legs. That same altered outfit was made available in ''[=XC2=]'' as free DLC just a couple of days later, bearing the name "Massive Melee Mythra".
* Right at the beginning of the 02/17/2021 Nintendo Direct, we are shown footage of what, at first, seems like another expansion to the game: Pyra has gone missing, and Rex is determined to find her, searching high and low. Then, in what can only be described as a ''massive'' BaitAndSwitch, we cut to Rex locating Pyra in a dusty [[FiveSecondForeshadowing familiar looking arena]]... where Pyra admits that the reason why she went missing was because '''''[[VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosUltimate she got a Smash Bros invite]]'''''.
** Some [[FridgeLogic retroactive]] comedy comes into play once you realize that, while Pyra (and Mythra) are now part of the Smash roster, Rex (the one who was wondering where they went) is ''[[KickTheDog still]]'' a Mii Costume, and [[ThrowTheDogABone only appears in earnest as their]] SupportPartyMember -- a complete role reversal, in other words.[[note]]Rex ''was'' intended to be the main playable character of the trio, borrowing from ''Xenoblade Chronicles 2'' more accurately, but actually making it work in ''Smash'''s combat system turned out to be pushing the envelope too hard.[[/note]]
--->'''Rex''': What?! [[LampshadeHanging I thought I was gonna be in Smash!]]
** And yes, Mythra's still in the "Massive Melee" costume.

** In fact, the only one who says the poster looks nothing like her is Mòrag...who is clearly buttering Nia up so she’ll be easier to interrogate. Which doesn’t work...until Nia blurts out Rex and Pyra’s names anyway when Mòrag asks for the names of her new companions, something she mentally kicks herself for.
