      Well, overal I think the first game's OST is still the best one. The 2nd one has some really nice bangers and the best ones may even edge out the best of XC1 for me, but there's also a lot of stuff in it I don't care much for. As for XC3... kinda hard to say. I haven't really taken the time to listen to its songs all that much outside of the game, but in the game itself they don't feel quite as memorable as the ones from the first 2 games.

    To explain the '21 foot cow' thing, You Will Know Our Names plays when fighting against unique enemies. Unique enemies are really powerful monsters that are kinda like optional bosses.
    They usually look the same as normal monsters but are really big and strong and have unique names such as 'Territorial Rotbart', 'Immovable Gonzalez', or 'Elegant Marin'.
    Immovable Gonzalez sounds silly but it's actually a giant monkey that can one-shot you for looking at him funny.

    Hi, I don't know who you are but Xenoblade is a 10/10 franchise. The music works perfectly with the scenes its used it for even further emotional hits. Also, Glad to see someone be hit by the title theme same way I was when I first turned the game on. The music hit hard and the game itself didn't let go. The stories in the games are unironically amazing, peak fiction. The characters are deep and even the side content is better than many other games.

    the only reason the definitive edition has mixed reviews is because people are nostalgic for the original. DE uses all live recordings of instrumentalists and vocalists and as someone who loves both soundtracks, DE's is better as a musician because the performance quality adds even more to the amazing music. Nothing wrong with the original, but while I think it's one of the best uses of MIDI I've heard, it just doesn't match the juice of the studio recordings, the studio recordings are perfect quality with concert level energy, it's amazing. and I know you said the vocals in Engage the Enemy were high, but what if I told you the live performance strings and voices swap octaves so the vocals have the top notes. it is insane and never fails to make me cry

    The songs here are by Yoko Shimomura ,Tsutomu Narita, and Kenji Hiramatsu or Hiramatsu with ACE (Hiroyo 'CHiCO' Yamanaka and Tomori 'TOMOri' Kudo) known simply as ACE+

    Definitely need to check out the rest of the series soundtracks! Mor Ardain, Tantal, Gormott and Leftherian Archipelego are definitely must hear field themes!

    Actually 4:11, I think most people regard the Definitive Edition ost to be on par with the original. For some important tracks like Engage the Enemy, Mechanical Rhythm & Zanza the Divine, some would even say it's an improvement. Definitive Edition also feature some tracks that are not changed, which is fine because the original are more than servicable.
    It'd be cool if you can check those out too.

    The effort some game studios put into the OST is insane. They could compete with national assembles or win the ESC depending on the style of music.

    I'm very happy to see you've reacted to xenoblade's ost!! xenoblade is a very special series to me and its always nice to see people appreciating its soundtrack :] it'll be cool to see you react to xenoblade 2's and xenoblade 3's ost in the future, every game in this trilogy has a god tier ost ^^

  • @fabiof.8152
    @fabiof.8152 Před rokem +15

    You've made this incredible soundtrack justice with your reactions! Though I'd say that the remaster's versions of it do sound a bit better (even better than these masterpieces, can you imagine?) in terms of mixing and stuff, and the reason why they got a mixed reception is mainly nostalgia biases, so I'd suggest you give them a go too if you're at all curious! :D Especially 'Mechanical Rythm", the remaster's version is even more phenomenal and I think you'd love it!
    I hope you'll end up doing Xenoblade 2 and 3 as well, these soundtracks are just banger after banger, after banger!

  • @zephros5557
    @zephros5557 Před rokem +4

    You should absolutely listen to more of this soundtrack and from the other 2 games as well. Zanza the Divine has to be one of the best final boss themes of all time

  • @lockekappa500
    @lockekappa500 Před 9 měsíci +1

    Yes, a lot of Xenoblade game time is spent just standing. And listening. Sometimes in the middle of the overworld. Sometimes in the middle of a cutscene. Sometimes you can't make it past the main menu.

  • @pacooreta270
    @pacooreta270 Před rokem +7

    Oh man Xenoblade music is always a treat! Wasn’t expecting this to be the next video but I’m more than happy! Hope you get to check out the other games in the series as well (including their vocal tracks)!

  • @Noah27612

  • @mossex4447
    @mossex4447 Před rokem +6

    Xenoblade's soundtracks are the greatest of all time in my opinion. Soon to all be released on physical media! I'd definitely recommend checking out some of the Definitive Edition remakes for the first game's tracks. They're redone with live instruments and sound heavenly. Both 2 and 3's soundtracks were recorded with full orchestras as well :)

  • @alonesometravler9343
    @alonesometravler9343 Před 11 měsíci +1

    There’s a whole catalog of vocal tracks with lyrics from this series and all of them are amazing. The newest one “Future awaits” actually had me in tears.

    Xenoblade chronicles is such a banger. I think you might like the OST for Octopath Traveler as well, or if you feel like dipping your toes into anime OSTs then Made in Abyss' soundtrack is an emotional trip.

    I would reccomend listening to the definitive edition's soundtrack for engage the enemy, time to fight, gaur plain, you will know our names, and mechanical rythym as well, they remade (i believe) every soundtrack besides the main title. They all are quite different, and just as good as the original mix

    • @saltyralts

    I've heard "You Will Know Our Names" so many times over the years. Finally played Xenoblade this month and my SHOCK when it started playing on some random field encounter with a level 6 slug. I thought for sure it was a late-game boss theme until playing the game. Then Mechanical Rhythm not even being a boss battle song broke me.

  • @EvilMike349
    @EvilMike349 Před rokem +7

    Every Xenoblade soundtrack is phenomenal, but Future Redeemed might have the best music in the series in my opinion. It made me cry even more than the rest of the Xenoblade soundtracks, which was already a hell of a lot 😂

  • @crabbostabbo6898
    @crabbostabbo6898 Před rokem +4

    Literally the entire Xenoblade soundtrack is killer, and the remake soundtrack is almost entirely improvements to the original. I highly encourage checking it out along with the other 3 Xenoblade games. This franchise means more to me than any other from any media outlet, and the music only matches the quality of everything else. If not for a video, listen to it in your own time because it's a treat. Have a good day and enjoy!

  • @OmegaMetroid93

    Super glad I found your channel a week ago when you posted this. Xenoblade 1 is my favorite game ever and watching someone like you react so heavily to its music was wonderful. I’m definitely sticking around for whatever soundtracks you listen to in the future.

  • @theblindjedi41
    @theblindjedi41 Před 12 dny

    Reminds me of my reaction when I first heard the music. Bought it in a whim before I played the game and knew I had to experience the game itself. Both are amazing experiences.

  • @Lana_305
    @Lana_305 Před rokem +1

    I had just finished Xenoblade Chronicles 3 three days ago, so this is perfect timing. Xenoblade's OST is one of my favorites next to Persona 5 for the usage of music in events and moments that live in my head. But if I could say ONLY ONE song to recommend in the Xenoblade series, it's "The Weight of Life"

    Lots of fun hearing a first-time reaction to this game's music! It's one of the many, many reasons I love the game and being able to share that is a lot of fun.
    I kinda wish the Definitive Version's remake of Engage The Enemy got played with/instead of the base game's version; it got a MASSIVE glow-up that it sounds like you would've really liked.
    Wonderful video, ready to see more!

  • @QuarkStorm
    @QuarkStorm Před rokem

    Time to fight is my favorite underrated piece of music in this game. The violonist: Yoko Shimomura, also did the OST for Radiant Historia and (as well as I like RH) this song always remind me of that game. It's practically her work in the DS/3DS game for a game on a big screen. Absolutely fantastic stuff.
    Loved your video!

  • @uppernimbus
    @uppernimbus Před rokem

    Oh my god, I love your reaction to this OST. You definitely need to listen to the soundtracks from the other Xenoblade games! I love that you emotionally resonated with these songs, that main theme hits REALLY HARD after you beat the game, you won't regret the story and experience!!

    Everyone else is already recommending the other Xenoblade games, so I'm going to recommend hearing the Definitive Edition versions of these tracks (probably on your own time). I am in the camp of believing that they are all improvements of already incredible themes! Like, I don't know, these sound kinda empty compared to the DE versions now. At least to me.

  • @FloPe97
    @FloPe97 Před 4 měsíci

    The main theme is so good - when an ultra hyped FloPe bought this in a gamestop on release, getting home asap to play this, popping the game in and instead of ACTUALLY playing the game, got stuck for like 10 minutes on the title screen because I was just in so much awe at the theme being THIS.
    Still one of my favourite themes of all time for sure.

  • @SillySelah
