The Key We’ve Lost (Xenoblade Chronicles X) 10. One Who Bares Fangs At God (Xenogears) 9. The God Slaying Sword (Xenoblade Chronicles) 8. Final Battle (Xenosaga 2) 7. Showdown with Z (Xenoblade Chronicles 3) 6. Over Despair and Animus (Xenoblade Chronicles 2 Torna - The Golden Country) 5. Zanza The Divine (Xenoblade Chronicles) 4. Our Paths May Never Cross (Xenoblade Chronicles 2 Torna - The Golden Country) 3. Promised Pain (Xenosaga 3) 2. Redeem the Future (Xenoblade Chronicles Future Redeemed) 1. After Despair and Hope (Xenoblade Chronicles 2)

As someone who's played every xeno title, i can agree with this ranking :)

all bangers baby

Xenosaga 2's finale has some dope moments at 10:30 and especially the way it starts at 08:17, but it kind of feels like the rest of the track doesn't fit the tone of those good bits.

Zanza is my favourite, by far.

Artifice Aion at Number 1 where it should be.

@14:30, the different music had a bigger impact on players in Xenosaga I simply because it was _finally_ a new battle tune. Up to that point, EVERY fight, both regular and boss battles, had been using the same music. The song was still great, though.

@cyconical

Жыл бұрын

Yeah, on my first playthrough, I was convinced it was just gonna be the regular battle tune again lol

Ftr now, XC3FR’s final boss theme is “Redeem the Future”. According to Apple Music.

#1 the key we’ve lost #2 redeem the future #3 after despair and hope #4 Z theme #5 Zanza the divine #6 god slaying sword #7 promised pain I love all of the above and the other ones from Xeno are pretty good’ but I just can’t get myself to like the Torna themes.

POR SIEMPRE XENOGEARS !!!!

Currently my favorites are "After Despair And Hope" as well as "Showdown With Z" I haven't finished Future Redeemed yet so I skipped that part of the vid i want to be surprised especially with how much the community seems to love that final boss theme

My personal top 5 5 - Our paths may never cross 4 - Zanza the Divine 3 - The Keys we've lost 2 - Redeem the Future 1 - Final Battle (Xenosaga 2) Apologies for not putting After Despair and Hope on it, I personally don't see why people like it.

Also, real quick, to those subbing to me from this video, just know that I am in no way a Xeno content creator. I'm a massive fan of the series, but for the kinds of videos I usually make, I have no idea what kind of content to make for this series. I will likely make more, but just know that this series isn't the only series I will be making videos on going forward. Also, also. Thank you all for the comments on this video.

Well I have learned one thing from this list. The companies behind these games don't know how to do final boss music (well at least until XC3). The music is either trash, too upbeat and energetic or just too joyful sounding. You want good final boss music you should go to Transformers Devastation, Transformers War For Cybertron, Transformers Fall of Cybertron, the Doom games, Star Wars games (even if sometimes the final boss music is nothing but Vader's theme), and others.
