As some past threads of XC2 were purely for its music I think this deserves its own thread.

It got totally buried in the released date thread so I didn't see it until now! Credit to kuroneko:

[Lunar15]

It's fantastic.

 

[Mortemis]

So damn good

 

[sixteen-bit]

Action Start bangs. Pick of the bunch.

 

[Grexeno]

It's soooooooooooo goooooooooooooood

 

[Adam Prime]

Wow! It sounds like Xenoblade!!

Love it. Maybe this will save the game from its whatever generic anime look.

 

[random25]

Action Start reminds me of Confrontation with the Enemy. So gooooood.

 

[RPGCrazied]

Yeah, Xenoblade soundtracks don't fuck around.

 

[ladyluthien]

Fantastic. I really can't wait.

 

[PancakeBurglar]

As down as I am with many of the other aspects of this, the music is on point.

 

[Ooccoo]

Too bad they have the worst character models seen in a RPG since Star Ocean 5

 

[mrmickfran]

That battle theme Goddamn

Welcome back ACE & Co.

 

[Neoleo2143]

Mitsuda, ACE and Kiyota went HAM. And Elysium of the Blue Sky might be up there with the Mario Odyssey Theme.

 

[Cramoss]

I want the music used on the first trailer

 

[OverturePT]

Oh boy that battle theme.

 

[Xbro]

Too bad they have the worst character models seen in a RPG since Star Ocean 5

Only took 15 posts.

 

[Holy Order Sol]

omg yes

 

[mrmickfran]

Omg that Soul Cave

Kiyota always kills it with the vocals.

I'm in LOOOVVVVE

 

[SinCityAssassin]

skypunch picked a really good time to get banned.

 

[Arynio]

Worthy successor to the original! In particular, the latter two songs give me strong Xenoblade teas. Can't wait!

 

[Nocturnowl]

That last one, shades of the night marsh right there.

 

[Harpoon]

Fantastic as always.

 

[Raysoul]

Oh my fucking god these are fucking good!

 

[Gradivus]

Love them

 

[Ennosuke]

Beautiful

 

[jeffers]

first/fourth pretty pretty and chill.

 

[The Xtortionist]

Battle theme is fantastic. Welcome back ACE.

Elpis Soul Cave(?) (temp) - Minami Kiyota
https://www.nintendo.co.jp/switch/ad...ound/bgm04.mp3

Getting insane Makna Forest vibes from this.

edit - some Satorl Marsh Night coming in a bit later, wew lad

 

[Kain-Nosgoth]

this is so good

 

[Omnicent]

Action Start is... is beautiful

 

[Gormless Noodle]

Godfuckingdammit, I seriously have to get a Switch when this comes out.

 

[Kwame120]

Action Start is... is beautiful

Yeah, it's my favourite of the four released so far.

 

[Effect]

Great!

 

[AmaterasuOkami076]

I'm just as excited for the soundtrack as I am the game itself. This is so good, can't wait to hear more.

 

[JacketsNest101]

I was not fucking prepared for Action Battle. Good God that song.

 

[StrikeFirst117]

They all sound pretty great, though action start is definitely my favourite.

 

[NSESN]

Persona 5 might have a challenger this year.

 

[Fraxin]

Persona 5 might have a challenger this year.

It already does, and its called Nier Automata.

 

[Lelou]

Well, only this tracks get me excited for the game, even if the trailer fail to make me feel in the same way..

 

[wanders]

Persona 5 might have a challenger this year.

Persona 5 had like one good song

 

[moustascheman]

Xenoblade music is as incredible as ever. ACE and Mitsuda are bringing their A game.

On a side note, Elpis Soul Cave sounds very similar to Makna Forest Night from Xeno 1.

 

[DNAbro]

Damn this is good shit

 

[Xbro]

skypunch picked a really good time to get banned.

Xenoblade Chronicles 2 |OT| Beyond the Sky

Spoiler

punch

 

[MagnaderAlpha]

All great songs. The last one (Elpis Soul Cave) has a really classic JRPG feel, giving me hints of Uematsu's "Elia, Maiden of Water" from FFIII.

 

[ika]

It's pretty evident that they want to bring the XBC feel back. That's a good thing but I also expect to hear compositions that don't remember me to some old scenes/areas. That ACE battle theme is amazing tho.

The four tracks are now on my iPhone playlist lol!

 

[G.ZZZ]

Some nice music but the rest of the game looks so bad NotLikeThis

They've gone full anime, you never go full anime jesus.

 

[ReyVGM]

Not feeling the music so far. A melody is that usually moves me and I didn't hear any melodies on these tracks other than hints of the Xenoblade 1 theme.
