It's...

I really hope they do more of these.

Mechonis Field

is the best song in the game.

Yes. So fucking good.

 

[Malvingt2]

Amazing... The Xenoblade ost is just too good.

 

[Kodaman]

 

[jorgejjvr]

I want it

 

[Storm Kyleis]

You mean Kiyota.

Whooops. How could I forget Kiyota.

Mitsuda was in the team as well anyway.

 

[Malvingt2]

Engage the Enemy vocal... OMG

 

[fedexpeon]

Can't wait to get home and listen to it.

 

[SolidSnakex]

I really hope X has a moment like the first time you reach Bionis' Leg and Guar Plains kicks in. One of my favorite recent gaming memories.

 

[TheMoon]

Whooops. How could I forget Kiyota.

Mitsuda was in the team as well anyway.

Not really, he did the end credits song. Nothing more. (I love Mitsuda, to be clear)

 

[Gutss]

That yu matanabe guy on the violin, so much passion dude, i can see it in your eyes.
and that Haaaaaaaa haaaaaa Haaaaa of the singers in engage the enemy soooo GOD!!!!!!

 

[Sky Interloper]

Goddamn, are those songs glorious. I would love to have a CD of these versions
As if the Main Theme wasn't great on its own.

Even if Sawano hasn't blown me away with the released snippets from X, I 'll reserve my comments until the entire soundtrack is available. After all, many of my favorite songs appeared late in the game, such as

Eryth Sea (Night)

,

Spoiler

Fallen Arm

, or

Mechonis Field

.

 

[Storm Kyleis]

And it's one of my favourite tracks in the game. I was trying to mention everyone but forgot Kiyota

 

[Neoxon]

Godlike

The minute Smash U music can be modded, I'm adding these songs in.

 

[Sgt.Pepper]

I died

 

[Nocturnowl]

Well damn this was far better than I expected, those vocal additions to Gaur Plains got me good.

 

[Neoxon]

This, so much this.

 

[jorgejjvr]

This, so much this.

[Neoxon]

currently at work, around when does the vocals start?

Around 3:03

 

[jorgejjvr]

Around 3:03

Thank you!

 

[Rodin]

This is seriously amazing. Confrontation with the enemy is my favorite track from the game, almost cried at that one :')

 

[Neoxon]

Thank you!

 

[jorgejjvr]

Yep, vocals are lovely and feel like they belong!

 

[Kain]

Now remember Xenoblade X will not have this.

 

[Supermanisdead]

God, one of the best videogame soundtracks. Engage the Enemy is soooooo good. I'm weeping

 

[Yoshi88]

Now remember Xenoblade X will not have this.

Why would i want the same music in a different game with a different setting? Can't we just stop the hate for X's music in every Xenoblade thread now?

Different game, different style of music. Let's just be happy and enjoy the music.

 

[Choppasmith]

Just gorgeous. Really hope they put out a CD of these recordings, maybe as a prevail pre-order bonus for X.

 

[Boogybro]

How long have you been waiting to use that?

 

[mrmickfran]

That and Agniratha

Agreed, I feel the music of X fits it's theme and setting. Feels a lot more sci-fi like.

 

[CrunchyFrog]

Awesome, club Nintendo reward plox

 

[Neoxon]

How long have you been waiting to use that?

For a while.

 

[jorgejjvr]

Triple agree. It fits that game

 

[BorkBork]

Love how chill Confrontation with the enemy is in the beginning. So good.

 

[Solid SOAP]

How successful was this globally? I know there's no way it could've done well in America, but considering it's until release in Japan was it considered a success? There's a pretty decent amount of hype for this remake, more so than I'd expected from something that squandered maybe a million or so copies.

 

[Seanlole]

this is sooooooooo good

 

[Mokujin]

Flawless 1st reply.

We don't have any legit numbers outside of Japan as far as I know. Iwata acted like the game was more successful in the West than Japan in the Iwata Asks about the New 3DS port.

There's the impression that the people who enjoy the overall JRPG genre were overjoyed with the game. They seemed to feel like the next generation of JRPG had finally arrived. The overseas sales would never be higher than the Japanese sales unless that was the case.

161,161 copies sold by the end of 2010 in Japan. So anywhere north of 500k globally should be a safe bet.

 

[shauntu]

The best soundtrack, for the best game of all time. Getting the 3DS port just so I can use the Jukebox in Sleep Mode!

 

[D-Man]

Holy shit these are good. I'm so excited to finally play this game when the 3DS version comes out.

 

[NHarmonic.]

Oh god that main theme, everytime it gets better than the last...

 

[mcmmaster]

They so need to release an album for this, but knowing Nintendo they likely won't.

 

[TheMoon]

It's not their call. MonolithSoft could easily do it on their own just like they did for the official OST release. Of course they'd have to pay for the performance, recording, mixing, mastering, production, whatever since that would no longer be part of the regular game dev.

 

[SuperCambot]

Also, that band has some really expensive gear.

Yesss

 

[mjc]

Main theme...damn

All of them....damn

 

[Zalman]

Xenoblade has such a phenomenal soundtrack. Very cool performances.

 

[Moonlight]

What if you arrive there at night

Gaur Plains (night) is the better version of the song, though.
