You of all people shouldn't be asking who cares about anything in a xenoblade thread, haha.

I will be shocked if XC2 comes out this year.
In the meantime they should port XCX to the Switch.

Possibly not 'delays' in the technical sense, but seriously? In this case it's understandable people are doubtful until they're given a firmer date.
On topic: does the mention of 'Pony' as the recording studio mean the soundtrack CDs are going to be buggered with DRM like the XCX ones were?

Awesome track, but it sounds like the music he recorded with Anúna was purely choral. I'm still expecting Celtic music of that type, though.
FWIW, she's on a tour starting today...so she may not be able to record a song. I'd gladly accept Joanne Hogg.
I think it's gonna be either Joanne Hogg or Andrea Delaney. Joanne Hogg is still an iffy one though considering he hasn't worked with her since Xenosaga I.

Okay I forgot about X getting moved to 2015, fair enough. (You could've just pointed that out instead of lol'ing)
It's hard to say. It's not uncommon for choral elements to be recorded separately because it gives better control in the mix.
I'm a few days late, but niiiiiiiiiiiiiice.
In a really twisted and geeky way, it's Mitsuda's Millennial Fair stuff, particularly around the time of Xenogears Creid and Chrono Cross that gave me an appreciation for riverdance and bulgarian choir. Obviously those influences can be found threaded over JRPG music by so many different people ever since.

I'd just want to see it all back in full force.
I love the more cultural stuff that Mitsuda tries out with his tracks. It's always been a thing with his music but I feel like it's gotten more and more pronounced with his more recent stuff. I just hope Xenoblade 2 has some of that moody, synth heavy tracks from the SNES and PS1 days. I'm less a fan of his full blown symphonic + vocal music. Tracks like Secret of the Forest and Another World theme with the bass sounds is what made him so popular. Hopefully his contributions to Xenoblade 2 are more than just a handful main themes that are orchestral. I'd love to hear new music that reminds me of his past work.
I don't know, Xenoblade Chronicles X soundtrack is one of my all-time favorite game soundtracks. I probably listen to it everyday in some form. Mitsuda does great work, so I don't doubt this will be good, too, but gonna be hard to top Xenoblade Chronicles X for me.
To Far Away Times is better for Wind Scene and Schala's Theme alone. Schala's Theme especially, man, he incorporated all three of her character themes from CC and CT in one thing.
I second this. Cried is incredible.
You've lost the plot.
This is true.
Xenoblade Chronicles X was fully localised four months after the Japanese release. If they had wanted to release it simultaneously and not hold it back for strategic reasons, they could have achieved that. They manage to do that for Pokemon games and Mario RPGs already. Now even the newest Fire Emblem game gets a simultaneous launch.
While you're being shocked and making suggestions you could be buying a Wii U and playing XCX

To Far Away Times is amazing, but it could have been so, so much more :/
Again, I think people would feel a lot more confident if we've seen even one screen with English text.
Yaaaaaassss!
Get Joanne Hogg in there, too!
I could listen to Creid's Balto on loop forever.

Agreed. It's so good.
