This is awesome.

I'd buy a CD of these recordings easily.

Edit: Upon further listening my face is now this:

Hawaii Jeff · Mar 30, 2015

Yes!

Love Gaur Plains !!

stephendedalus · Mar 30, 2015

Fully expected the Monado to be a Keytar.

kewlmyc · Mar 30, 2015

Gaur Plains is amazing. In fact they all are.

Lord Ghirahim · Mar 30, 2015

Official uploads? Nice.

orochi91 · Mar 30, 2015

I'm in tears D':

That fucking main theme.

So good.

So damn good.

Nanashrew · Mar 30, 2015

Confrontation with the enemy is still #1

InsaneZero · Mar 30, 2015

OH GOD MECHANICAL RHYTHM

SOO GOOD

I want a guitar shaped like the Monado now.

SoldnerKei · Mar 30, 2015

I'll be listening to this for hours, thanks.

WarAdept · Mar 30, 2015

You champion.

Now I know what I'm listening to on my way home from work.

And my god, I want that model Monado.

takriel · Mar 30, 2015

aaaand they threw all that away in Xenoblade X

Not but seriously, this is awesome!

It's bizarre that they didn't stick with ACE+ and Yoko Shimomura. I know Hiroyuki Sawano is popular in the anime world and for good reason (Gundam Unicorn and Blue Exorcist's OSTs are fantastic), but they already had a good thing going with their previous game.

threelights · Mar 30, 2015

Is this what they aired in that XC3DS stream? I totally missed it if so...

Anyway, yeah, this is fantastic. The quality is astounding and the editing is pretty spot on too.

This soundtrack is so good. I always forget how good Engage the Enemy is until that part starts.

Well, Yoko Shimomura only did a couple of tracks out of the entire OST. ACE+ handled everything else.

Yea, I really like Sawano's work on AoT and GU, but I haven't liked anything from what we've heard of the XBX OST.

XBX music has been so underwhelming so far....

jb1234 · Mar 30, 2015

Manami Kiyota got shafted. Would have loved to have heard Satorl Marsh (Night). Nothing wrong with ACE+ but Kiyota did most of my favorite pieces.

Guar Plains was awesome.

Litri · Mar 30, 2015

So good!

random25 · Mar 30, 2015

So damn love the OST for Xenoblade. Almost every song is on my phone's playlist.

LurkerPrime · Mar 30, 2015

Very nice videos.

Thanks for the heads up!

Anth0ny · Mar 30, 2015

Cody_D165 · Mar 30, 2015

HOLY FUCK

Dmax3901 · Mar 30, 2015

This has made my night holy fucking shit.

Manami Kiyota handled much of the OST as well. I think she composed more tracks than ACE+ actually.

Exactly. I think she's not getting tons of love when Xenoblade music is being discussed.

Moonlight · Mar 30, 2015

The knowledge that we're losing this in exchange for dumb Sawano horns and synths makes me so sad.

Fucking incredible, though.

EDIT: DAT ENGAGE THE ENEMY

Fucking incredible.

Crayolan · Mar 30, 2015

The replica Monado is a nice touch too.

El Odio · Mar 30, 2015

Oh my god... Guar plains... The theme... I can't ;w;

Exentryk · Mar 30, 2015

Engage the Enemy and Guar Plains... lawd!!!

Diablos54 · Mar 30, 2015

So damn good!

corn_fest · Mar 30, 2015

So great. It'd be awesome if we got a live album out of this someday.

Goosebumps man, goosebumps. Day 0 purchase if it happens, this is so good.

ShockingAlberto · Mar 30, 2015

Man

Remember when Sakurai tweeted a picture of that replica Monado and no one thought anything of it

TheXfactor · Mar 30, 2015

brings a tear to this eye

ehead · Mar 30, 2015

Saw these earlier and immediately gave me chills. "You Will Know Our Names" killed it.

WonderzL · Mar 30, 2015

oh my god???????? I love Gaur Plains ;______;

Benzychenz · Mar 30, 2015

Oh my god this is so great.

Made my night.

I remember lurking GAF 2 years ago. I was there watching you all.

Fancykong · Mar 30, 2015

If One Who Stands In Our Way was there, it would be perfect. No one ever respects the boss fight song.

Xianghua · Mar 30, 2015

Great songs.

pinkurocket · Mar 30, 2015

Engage the Enemy <3

skLaFarebear · Mar 30, 2015

They chose like 5 of the best songs in the game god this OST is so good.

Kiyota has some of my favorites in the game. On the Fallen Arm is my favorite.

She absolutely needs to be the composer for more games.

Beren the Empty-Handed · Mar 30, 2015

YES. Those vocals on Gaur Plains! So good!
