Funny / Xenoblade Chronicles 2: Torna ~ The Golden Country

• After battling with Addam and Mythra, Addam praises Lora and Jin's fighting style of passing Jin's sword between each other. The reason for this was because Lora and Jin couldn't afford buying meals, let alone another sword. Addam's and Mythra's reactions to this were priceless.
  • And this is how every single Driver battles hundreds of years later in the main game, meaning that Lora and Jin basically invented modern Driver combat.... because they were poor.
• In one sequence of post-battle comments Brighid gives a choice critique of Mythra for supposedly looking like a wild Gogol the way she swings her sword around. Mythra snipes back that Brighid looks like a woman with a pair of dog leashes when her whip swords are extended, and contemplates how she would look walking dogs.
• Mythra is rather... creative when it comes to her cooking. How bad is it? When we see her cooking in a flashback, it gets the same treatment as the Dubious Food (for some extra hilarity, if you look closely through the pixelation, it looks like there are moving tendrils), and Milton claims its far more dangerous than anything an Artifice could do.
  • If you go back to the Event Theatre after completing this part of the game, this cutscene is titled "Atrocities".
  • During the same cutscene, Mikhail is asked to chop up the vegetables. After the discussion about Mythra's cooking, the bowl of choppings has grown to somehow be twice as tall as the original cabbage, and Mik's still chopping.
  • The only ones that seem resistant to Mythra's cooking are Ardainians, whose cuisine is also known as "unique". In one sidequest, an Ardainian longs for cooking like his mother's. When Jin makes it, the soldier says it tastes too good to match. When Mythra makes it, the soldier praises it, because it's as inedible as what his mother made - and then obliviously asks why Mythra is glaring at him. Likewise, in a cooking contest, while the other judges are retching over Mythra's dish, Hugo merely says it's almost edible and the other Ardainian is ecstatic over it.
    Mikhail: Are Ardainian tastebuds broken or something...?
  • Jin's Fortitude skill is increased the more Mythra cooks. That's right, Jin managing to survive simply being in the presence of Mythra's cooking is "the power to endure hardship."
    Jin: That belongs in the trash heap!
  • Two of Mythra's meals^* Ruby-stew Buloofo DX and Chilsainian Kascha DX are copies of Jin's with the letters "DX" added, which can be read either as "deluxe" or an Emoticon expressing extreme displeasure. Chilsainian Kascha DX is also a quest item, and you only learn the recipe after the quest giver (who is Ardanian, naturally) turns down Jin's version for being too good. As soon as you see the "new recipe learned" popup, you know where this is going.
  • It bears detailing that Mythra's bad cooking doesn't just come down to the very strange/disgusting ingredients she uses, but how she cooks them. She overcooks some items to the point that they are super dry and have little flavor left, plus she puts so much seasoning on others that one can't tell what they are actually eating.
  • That said, the ingredients themselves aren't exactly winners either. If you look at the ingredients needed to craft her meals, there's only one meal that doesn't contain at least one obviously out-of-place ingredient. Examples include the Pureed Sculpin Parfait (which includes lettuce and a fish), Inconceivable Pudding (which contains Mint Fish and bananas), the Literally Killer Tart (which is made entirely of various insects), and the Spicy Scorpion Cookie, which is Exactly What It Says on the Tin.
  • There's also the fact that most of Mythra's repetoire is desserts, which had a reputation in the main game for being Game Breakers due to them greatly improving Arts Recharge (Narcipear Jelly, anyone?). In this game, however, Mythra's desserts (other than Miracle Parfait) have a downright pitiful effect on Arts Recharge compared to the main game. It's like the developers gave them to Mythra so they'd have an in-universe explanation for Nerfing them.
• When meeting Minoth, Milton questions about Mythra being a Big Eater and where it all goes after Addam claiming she ate six Cloud Sea Crab Sticks. Mythra claims that it is justified because she's the Aegis and needs the extra energy^* (which is even funnier if you know that she's lying from playing the main game and finding out where her power actually comes from). Milton responds to this by touching her love handle (even though the camera makes it look like he touches her butt).
  Milton: Hehehe, The Aegis, bested by a little kid! Hehehehe!
  Mythra: Milton! Get back here!
• At some point, the party stays at the inn in Hyber Village. Just before Lora can go over and talk to Addam in his room, she and Jin hear some racket coming from the next room. Remember Mythra's sleepwalking incident at the Goldmouth Inn in the main game, and how she mentions it wasn't the first time that happened? The first incident apparently played out almost the exact same way, except the victims this time are Milton and Addam, and Mythra's rampage lasted at least twice as long with the accompanying sounds implying that it was even more damaging. Even Jin is off-put by the chaos going on next door. The next morning, Addam has the exact same bruise that Rex got on his forehead.
  • The noises also imply that over 500 years, Mythra managed to tone her reaction down by Rex's time, if while unconscious.
• If you're fast enough, you can sometimes make the lines clip over each other, leading to gems like this:
  Addam: What's this?
  Brighid: NATURE!
• Since you can play as your Blades now, you can also have them search collection points. Some are less happy with this than others.
  Brighid: You could be putting me to better use.
  Mythra: I don't know why I'm the one doing this.
• Pretty much everything involving the "Great Tornan Cook-Off" could qualify.
  • The list of participants starts out normal enough (a cafe owner and the owner of an inn), gets a little stranger when Jin joins (especially when you remember that most people know him as "The Paragon of Torna" and the most powerful Blade in the continent). And then Mythra joins, forcing her way into the contest, to which everyone responds appropriately.
  • The list of judges is also amusing in a way: You have a traveling chef, a famous gourmet Nopon, a couple of kids, and The Emperor of Mor Ardain.
  • Mythra's cooking has not improved◊ at all since we last saw it. Mythra tries to claim that they were saving the best for last, only for Addam to correct her by explaining that he wanted them to enjoy their other meals before her cooking killed them all. The Nopon gourmet is reduced to a shivering wreck, Hugo's critique is "with a bit of chewing, it leans toward edible", and the Ardainian chef likes it.
• Just like the base game, Torna has some amusing post-battle dialogues, like this one.
  Addam: (to Minoth) That was flashy as hell. Do that again, would you?
  Minoth: I don't see the need to show off without any eligible girls around.^* Shippers take note, this means Minoth doesn't consider Lora, Haze, Mythra or Brighid to be "eligible."
  Addam: (falsetto voice) Oh Minoth, you're so dreamy! Could I have your autograph?~
  Minoth: Oh keep talking, funny man, you'll get what's coming to you!
