Lot of potential for this soundtrack. Wouldn't be surprised if it's best in the series. Admittedly not super hard to do, but nonetheless.
Really? Not that hard. I find the first Xenoblade to be one of my favorite soundtracks.

People crap on XCX's soundtrack but honestly the music in these games is so distinctive and wonderful. Can't wait to see what XC2 has in store.
If we're talking Xenoblade games, for me personally, Xenoblade Chronicles is going to be hard to top, because it's one of my favorite video game OST.
If we're talking Xeno games, that's even hard with Xenogears and Xenosaga Episode III being amazing OST from what I've heard. Xeno games have always had great soundtracks. Xenoblade Chronicles X may have had a disappointing soundtrack for me, but it was still great for what the game was and had some great environment tracks for the continents and such. Only a few tracks were really annoying, but I understand Sawano isn't everyone's cup of tea and understand why people hate the XCX OST.
Excited for this game and hearing some of the OST!

Well, we'll see.With Mitsuda as lead composer and ACE+ and Kiyota back, it has a very, very good chance at being just as good if not better than Xenoblade's OST. The fact that there's going to be four choral pieces written by Mitsuda and sung by Anúna already puts it a smidgen over Xenoblade's OST for me, and I *love* Xenoblade's OST.

8-4 is confirmed NOT to be doing this localization. It's too large of a project that they can get to with everything they're working on. Chances are Europe's picking up the slack.
It most likely is, XCX localization was done roughly the same time ad the game was being developed, but XCX was a huge massive effort that I remember Tetsuya saying like one persons lines were like 11,000 lines of dialogue or so, and treehouse still had to come in and help 8-4 because it was such a daunting taskIt was more an example than anything, really. Timing is critical in any event, and I feel like that the localization has to be happening as we speak in order for it to have a chance at a worldwide release this year.
So happy they got the team back for this after ... y'know.
If this is any indication, scaling the amazing landscapes of XB2 is going to be just that much more breathtaking.

Yup, I liked the music in both.
I can't remember Nintendo ever closing an internal studio, certainly not one as high profile as Monolith.
And Monolith is tremendously useful for tech purposes and as an asset factory.
What team and I don't know. This band?
Give me less of WOAH, WOAH, WOAH-OO-WOAH-OH and I'll be happy. The song that plays in the Administrative District in NLA haunts me to this day.
XCX had so many good tracks, what the fuck were they thinking with that one?
Sara Di Bella, member of Anúna, says the music they recorded with Mitsuda will "haunt me forever in my dreams"
Her post also confirms there are lyrics involved. Possibly written by Takahashi?
I really hope they're planning on a simultaneous worldwide launch, otherwise I'm gonna be tempted to get the Japanese version as soon as it comes out!
It's worth noting Mitsuda composed just the ending theme for the first Xenoblade. It's possible we see another similar thing here. Don't get your hopes TOO far up.
It's worth noting that most of the composers from Xenoblade 1 are all back as well. It's a great OST.
I think Sawano was just a weird aside just like the rest of the specific stylistic diversions of that game.
They are. The game has the same release timeframe in all regions. Q4 2017.

WHAT
We haven't had an Irish vocalist group on a Nintendo soundtrack since Endless Ocean 2.
Mitsuda+this group=OST of the year
The New LA theme haunts me in my dreams
They weren't for the last two games. Anyway, I'll believe it when I see it.

Why are people so certain that the game won't come at the end of the year? The argument is as baffling as people saying that Mario will miss the Christmas holiday.
I haven't heard of Anuna, but if it means that there's no rap/metal crap as in Xenoblade Chronicles X, then it's great.
NOOOOOO! I can hear it right now, stop it goddamit
What's in question is if it'll hit outside of Japan at the same time, which could be really challenging if they haven't started the localization already.

As I mentioned before, they've done it for plenty of other RPGs already. If they wanna hit at the same time, they can. HD graphics don't change localization time, after all

Because no one trusts that a Xenoblade game will hit its first release deadline.
Are you sure? The only RPG with a simultaneous worldwide release that comes to mind is Pokémon, which started with X and Y...
