The battle theme in previous videos didn't have those lyrics so maybe it's a version of the track that isn't going to actually be used in the game.
Just out of curiosity, what do you think J-Pop is? Because of every vocal track I've heard so far, this is what I'd consider the closest to modern J-Pop. Which is to say that it's still a ways off, but getting warmer.

I think the music is suppose to be heavy on the electronics, it is a scifi game with mechas everywhere.

No. It's Sawano.
"I must go, my people need me"
I hope so.
Any reason for the change?

Basically Takahashi is Sawano's fan and he wanted Sawano to do music for his game.
Argh. That gameplay battle music. I am praying that the music has been specifically tailored to appeal to the hardcore Japanese anime audience in these videos and the J-Pop Engrish lyrics will be removed because they are just so blatantly out of place, especially in the Localized version

I can see why people have a problem with Sawano's work; they pretty much all have the same blueprint, especially the vocal ones. But I happen to think those vocal tracks, while pretty much all sounding the same, do a great job at getting me pumped for some action. I haven't gotten bored of them yet even though I've seen much of the anime with his works.
How about NO? This isn't the fucking 80's/early 90's anymore.
Also NEWSFLASH: English isn't the only language people use in the west.
The soundtrack is definitely very different from Xenoblade's, but I think it fits this one just as well as the original soundtrack fit the first game. It's very sci-fi based so everything here works I feel. The soundtrack has a very classic 90's mech anime feel to me which is just awesome.

How can people not recognize Serika in that TLG-looking artwork?
I hope we can recruit her very soon and keep her around <3

You think that's strange wait until you hear what Kojima did.

It isn't tailored to a specific target group or anything like that. That is the composer's style for years.
still working fine for meLooks like we crashed the site, guys

I blame the people downloading the new song.

I think an additional reason, aside from Takahashi being a fan of Sawano's work, is that he wanted a different music style to go with X's change in setting.
The original Xenoblade had a heavy fantasy setting and the soundtrack definitely reflected that. X, on the other hand, is pure sci-fi so Takahashi might have wanted a different type of music than Xenoblade's to further the genre distinction, which in this case would be more synth and lots of vocals.
I completely get why a lot of people who loved Xenoblade's soundtrack aren't caring much for X's music since it's a drastically different style. At the same time, though, X has a drastically different setting so the change in music could simply be another reflection of that. Personally speaking, I've enjoyed most of the tracks I've heard so far, and I think a decent number of them might fit better when heard ingame, as well.

New things, you can emergency escape during battle, wait 15 secs and retreat to the nearest landmark.

That battle theme would be pretty awesome if you just took out the vocals.

So it seems that 1st image is in game shot and the rest are promo shots or something considering the resolution.
Just right when you mentioned that, I saw Gessenkou updated his translations for the website, saying also the same thing. Wonder what kind of mechanic is that? I'm imagining an escape shuttle going down to take the party out of the area lol.

At this rate it seems like a good 50% or so of the tracks are going to have vocals in some fashion, so they aren't going anywhere. =p

Just realized they have Photon Saber as one of the melee weapon. Nice.
Hmm... are they removing "respawn at landmark when die" since they're implementing this?

I want to say in one of the Treehouse videos they died at some point and just respawned at the last landmark.
kuroneko0509

Yeah. The end result seems similar, unless the difference between those two are last landmark visited vs nearest landmark .
LOL the rap is fucking terrible, but I think it's somewhat addicting hehe.
bah
I liked it :3
I remember that! They challenged one of the giant dinosaurs lol.
I think they respawned at the beginning of the area but I can't recall if they discovered any landmarks between there and the lake.

I tend to hate lyrics in games but I loved Madworld partly for the fantastic OST so I'll just wait before judging. Sure, I hate J-pop.

Nah... pretty sure it will be the character faces that bring down the score
So we're already at 8 then D:

Check the new battle video. There's a bird with huge balls on its neck.
I bet that's his weak point.

Im listening to the battle theme on youtube
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Apdfz4HNrY
and im liking it better on a relisten, this is probably on purpose as you might be listening to this more than a few times but there have been several songs ive heard from the OST that I was ok to ehhh on to liking a bit more when listening again.

I believe that black 'space ship' to the top of that image is the one at the end of the E³ 2013 trailer. The satellites things at the side seem to confirm that, along with the color & pattern. However, it appeared to be walking in said trailer, not to mention it had that giant boss sticking out the top of it! Interesting...
This is gonna be one heck of a game. The actual content - though they've only revealed a tiny portion - already seems to be aiming to complement/match the massive scale of the game world.
