As far as I know, Xenoblade (the numbered series, as X is exclusively/massively Hiroyuki Sawano) is an additive series. Besides the dropping off Yoko Shimomura as composer, they added Kenji Hiramatsu to ACE and Mayaki Kiyota on Xenoblade 2, and now Yasunori Mitsuda to the three others.

@@cyberrb25 everyone you listed has been there since Xenoblade 1 (except sawano who only did X). In Xenoblade 1, Mitsuda did the ending song, Manami Kiyota was the lead composer, and Kenji Hiramatsu was working together with ACE, so they called themselves ACE+. Shimomura did a few early tracks. For Xenoblade 2, Yoko Shimomura wasn't involved, Kenji Hiramatsu worked individually this time, and Mitsuda composed a lot more songs. But they did add 1 composer, Mariam Abounnasr, who primarily seems to be an assistant to Mitsuda. For Xenoblade 3, things mostly stayed the same except Mitsuda composed almost all of the cutscene music this time, and one of MonolithSoft's internal sound engineers, Yutaka Kunigo, got to compose 2 tracks ("Ultimate Enemy" and "Exhausted Victorious, Speechless Defeated"). I'm really looking forward to his future work in particular

one of the coolest things about this song imo is that the symbol of Moebius is the infinity symbol, and the way the laughter pans in this track it sounds like its looping around your ears in the way of an infinity symbol, its such a cool touch

I love the contrast between this theme and the “interlink” version. In this version, as you mentioned, there are sections that sound like the choir is laughing at you, straight up mocking you. They don’t take you seriously at all. And that sense of derision infects even the song itself. However in the “interlink” version there are no sections like that. They aren’t laughing anymore. You have turned from a mild annoyance into a massive threat. They are taking you 100% seriously now and they are trying to crush you. Just another example of the spectacular music direction these games have.

Then there is the version that plays during your battle against M. I never noticed this until my 2nd time playing, but it was absolutely brilliant. My first impression was that the flutes are overpowering and in general poorly integrated into the song. Eventually I put the pieces together that the song that plays is not just a matter of "let's add flutes because M is an off seer and off seers play flutes." The flutes in that version being overpowering and out of place are symbolizing M crying out for help screaming at the top of her lungs to get your attention. They feel out of place because M doesn't really belong with Mobius.

One of my absolute favorite songs of all time. It's such a good example of musical storytelling. Moebius in Xenoblade 3 represent the ruling elite, like a greedy billionaire or evil politician who doesn't care if those less fortunate suffer. And some even enjoy it. That's why I find it genius how they incorporated that sort of sadistic condescension into the song. It sounds like Moebius are laughing at you because they are. The elite loves our suffering. But in the interlink version of the song, there is no more laughing. Moebius is taking you seriously. Towards the end of the interlink version, it sounds like the voices of the chorus are fading, or like they are screaming out in pain. All that proletarian rage being unleashed on the worst people in existence is reflected in the music. Xenoblade is art in every sense of the word.

@eclipticonantiqua1157

Жыл бұрын

Additional nuance to the Moebius, they are also a reflection of the people of their world, brought into existence by their fears and representing everyones own capacity for evil. The elites only become elite if they are supported by the society around them.

The amazing thing about this theme is it has a number of different "ending" tracks that it blends with after phase 2. This track is designed to loop infinitely like Moebius itself, and the ending to the track will be either Climax (Action) or Climax (Sad), and then that links into two possible closures to the song End (Action), End (Sad). These correspond to the story context of the fights. Secondly, the flute motif in the game is very significant, and there is a version of this theme with a flute overlaying alongside the opera... If you're playing the game and following the story, there's a spoiler attached to it, so I'll let you find it yourself...!

When this theme dropped I knew this game will be awesome. Was not disappointed. The intensity just kept on going and this theme is just wild as hell and really suits the insanity of Moebius

I love this theme ever since I first met the huge Moebius. Ever since, I go and fight the other Moebius specifically to get this track playing even when Lucky Seven was straight up shredding through their health. It's something you really never get tired of.

They're saying "chop chop chop chop chop chop AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH"!

The fact that this plays in the first few HOURS of the game is what let me know I was in for a wild ride.

I remember reading a comment from another video that perfectly summed up the feelings this track invokes: Awe. Fear. And Resolve. You can feel the shock of being confronted by Mobius. Something so imposing and strong. Only to be followed by the sheer terror of seeing it start ripping people apart while looking over at you. And finally, you get the last part of the track. The will of the protagonists to overcome the fearful adversary they face and survive. Tbh, it sounds like a final boss track. But it's basically just team rocket's theme song.

The M version of this track is soo good, i feel it adds an extra layer of emotion to it

8:51 if you listen to where the "hahaha" is coming from, you can imagine a moebius strip, which makes sense since the song is the moebius battle music. (Moebius = Xenoblade 3's main villain group)

ゼノブレイド3のメビウス戦のBGMはイントロから大好きです！ 取り上げて頂いてありがとうございます！嬉しいです！！ メビウスの戦では多くのパターンのコーラスが使用されており、この点に関しても「メビウスとは画面の前にいる我々である」という事を示すメッセージのように感じました。

I think one of the best parts of the Moebius theme that you can't really appreciate outside of the context of Xenoblade 3 is how this theme gets built upon by Phase 2. With the vocals changing to reflect Moebius going from being the ones in control to panicking a little while the instrumentation sounds a lot less dark as the end of the fight draws near. Really hope to see you cover more Xenoblade 3 tracks! Especially Weight of Life, definitely a fan and personal favourite

@SlushieDee

The Weight of Life is amazing because it’s such a banger and they only use it like twice in the entire game, but it’s specifically BUILT for the tiny number of cutscenes it plays in, crafted so that it perfectly matches the emotional flow of those scenes. It’s that restraint with such a fantastic song that really elevates it for me, they had something so good and still had the wisdom to use it better instead of using it more.

This theme conveys distress. But who's distress? That of the player facing the hulking authoritatian Moebius? Or that of Moebius, terrified of losing the Endless Now they hold on to desperately? Someone is afraid. But ouroboros isn't afraid to fight.

@AzureRoxe

Жыл бұрын

It's 100% designed to be US since the first time we fight them is the first time we hear the theme. The game wants you to remember how threatening Moebius is. Most of them don't care about the Endless Now.

I love the chaos between the opera voices and the music essentially fighting each other at times. representing not just the conflict between you and mobius, but the fact that it sounds off at times and makes it seem like there is more going on that isn't good behind the scenes. fits the game super well.

I've listened to this track a fair number of times and I'm not sure I've ever noticed just how crazy the bass guitar is going. They bass is always moving around.

I never knew the ways the body needed to be involved in the vocals of this! It fits so well with Moebius, especially after you've finished the game.

If you look up "Moebius Medley," you get the best possible combination of all the Moebius theme variations.

So what I love about the spectacular music of Xenoblade 3 is that when you hit around 50% of the bosses health they get stronger and tougher to the point the music has its own phase 2 which sadly most uploads of the song don't have included with phase 1. With my own general idea on how the song could be taken is that the music is basically the enemy realizing you're winning and they're getting desperate which throughout the theme, the chorus is getting drowned out by the instruments. Ultimately that this theme has a victory theme of like 15 seconds that occurs after you beat the boss where it is purely instruments. Sadly most people miss these phase 2 themes since its best to Chain Attack before the boss awakens so they don't nuke the party and the Chain Attack theme (while good) overtakes the battle theme which hurts some fights in vibe cause its a very joyous theme compared to the intensity. Then there is the spoiler versons of this theme against a certain boss which has an amazing story tie in, but obviously, spoilers for maybe one of my favorite stories of any game.

First because this is unlisted :D

I LOVE THIS OST SO MUCH ! You analysing it is always a joy

This Moebius battle music really is very intense! Especially in the moments in the story where it is used! And even in the Archsage gauntlet, when Moebius bosses arrive, this music certainly make things intense! I always remember FF7's One Winged Angel here but better.

I loved your commentary for this, thank you! This track hit me like a truck the first time I heard it, and every time after similarly continued the dire understanding of the predicament XC3’s characters are trapped under and hooked me every time! I just wanted to add onto this a bit with some interpretations of my own that I have not seen others say here. The vocals for me elicit at multiple times in the track the rhythm of a beating heart: specifically, during a period of fight or flight, panic, and dread. After the initial buildup, what you described as “breathless” also makes me think of a panicked heartbeat. As the tension (and panic) builds, and the characters fight on for survival, there comes that moment in the track that ALWAYS tears me out of the game when the music (and vocals) outright stop for 1-2 seconds. Then it descends into the chaotic cycle of dread and mockery you mentioned. For me, this exactly encompasses one of Eunie’s pivotal character arc moments where she comes face to face with D and stops dead, steeped in dread and panic, just to have him mock her and strike. So in a way, the vocals in that part of the track for her are like her panicking heartbeat suddenly stoppping due to overwhelming dread, just to be mocked and treated like cattle. The entire track perfectly encompasses everything about the lore and personality of Moebius, but I always pause at this part of the track to remember that I am fighting a sadistic sociopath who intends to harvest us for their sustenance, and even amusement. Then no matter how grueling the fight had been, I like the characters get that adrenaline boost to persevere over them. I love Xenoblade’s music to no end!

Finally! It’s so great to finally see you react and breakdown this track! I’m still so amazed at the composition of this piece.

I finished Xenoblade 3 yesterday so it is a pleasant surprise to see an analysis of this banger. I love your videos btw, it is amazing to see how passionate you are for music and how you share your feelings.

The best part about the Moebius Battle track is that there are so many layers to it, streatching far & beyond your typical cutscene, low health, & victory fanfare music. For instance, in Chapters 5 & over, you'll fight Moebius critical to the story & world structure of the game, you'll hear flutes & somber low-health music & a Moebius battle that melds all the motifs of Ouroboros, Moebius, & Offseers, all of which depict that in the game through sheer musical justice. Monolithsoft never slacks when it comes to music, Xenoblade 3 has around 13 hours of music to back this up 👆

The rest of Xenoblade Chronicles 3's soundtrack is awesome. The Consol M version of moebius theme, Keves battle, Kaleidoscopic Core, and You Will Know Our Names are my favorites.

The first time this track played in game I fell in love with it and have yet to grow sick of it. I feel like it perfectly encapsulates how the suffering the Kevsei and Agnian people is nothing more than a sadist show to Moebuis (Late chapters spoilers beyond the read more) And then you have the fight against consul M that incorporates the flutes that only till that point were associated with off-seeing to make something sound so beautiful yet heartbreaking as the entire fight has the party fighting each other unwillingly after spending the whole game going from blind hatred to being a found-family. I swear the entire end of the prison segment is a masterclass in making the player feel all the suffering that the people of Aionios go through with how all the scenes after purposely drag on.... which worked because it wound up being the first game to make me actually cry because of it.

Holy cow, was just thinking on the way home from work how much I wanted to hear your thoughts on this track, and here I find it. Time to hit play!

Wait till you hear moebious interlink and moebious M also when those boss are at 15 to 10% of hp the song get a variation

I know I am late to the party here but what impressed me massively back with this track when you hear it are three little facts: The first one: The composers, developers and producers here worked in perfect harmony since at an iconic key moment in the game when you fight against a very certain Moebius Boss whose name I will not say due to spoilers, the music build up from 0:00 to 0:49 is all cutscene and the battle, when the player starts taking over control again is timed at the EXACT MOMENT at 0:49 when the beat drops, making it SO MUCH MORE freaking intense and awesome! The second fact: It is varied all throughout the game with different parts and at two very specific bosses has different ending parts called "Climax Action" and "Climax Sad" AND there is a special version at another certain Moebius Boss which includes a seemingly totally off-beat flute which in the end though was relevant to what was going on behind the scenes. It's musical storytelling on a matser craftsmen level that I have not seen anywhere else yet. The third fact: In the music there is this passage that sounds as if the sentence "Please Don't Kill Me" is repeated constantly which could be interpreted reflecting how every Moebius is afraid of dying. In the case of that one special Moebius with the flute there is a passage that is even emphasizing on it in a very strong manner, whilst all other Moebius themes are still accompanied by the beat and / or instruments during that section, the theme of that certain Moebius has this passage almost void of any instruments with just the Chorus chanting it, which in the end is another keypoint that you will only understand after a good while, but when these realizations hit, they hit like a damn truck! Xenoblade Chronicles 3 for sure is a shining example of how awesome something can be when everything comes together in perfect unision. A masterclass shining example of a more than stellar JRPG.

Freeing colonies was great because I got to fight Moebius and hear this song again

Oroborous Awakens is a lot like this, and is so epic! One thing I heard is the key vocalists of the two songs are SIBLINGS!

5:00 I just got this way of seeing it: It's the equivalent of one long inspiration and a bunch of quick ones. They take the same air, but one imprints more agitation than the other.

I saw some people wondering if a choir actually sang this song or if the voices are synthesised. Well, the OST just arrived and confirms the vocals were performed by a choir named Barzz. Here's the message they included with the soundtrack. Barzz: "I still remember the recordings by ACE and Hiramatsu. Among those cool songs, "Moebius Battle" is especially memorable. (Laughs.) We were pretty busy before recording. When I received the score, the lyrics were all vowels, but I was asked to write the lyrics on short notice, and I wrote the lyrics by hand in roman characters (I remember it was midnight the day before recording...). On the day of the recording, I wrote the words "ah" in Roman alphabet. On the day of the recording, I changed the "ah" in this part to "ah!! I managed to sing the whole song. Another song, "Nia~ Toward the Heavens," is a personal favourite of mine. I asked all the Chorus members to sing it gently, tenderly, lovingly, and in a roundabout way. I can't write about all the songs, but the most important thing for us is to see how close we can get to the composer's image and exceed it." And here's the composer Tomori Kudo's liner notes for the track: "Since this was a battle song against an unprecedented enemy called Moebius, I started with the idea of creating a challenging song that had never been done before. In the chorus, I tried to create the atmosphere of a madman's banquet, and in the synthesiser, I tried to express the lustre and might of Moebius. We want people to think that we are invincible!" We can only imagine the exhilaration of performing a song like this...

And that's just the _base_ version. There are _several_ more variants, including the interlink version, multiple climax versions, and then an entire set that adds a whole additional instrument to the mix that takes center stage, and it's not one that I think would normally be associated with _rock opera._

And just for that theme alone the game deserves an award!

This song is amazing

LET'S FREAKING GOOOOO!!!

You should definitely listen to the ost in the Xenosaga trilogy some day, especially Xenosaga 1 if you're really into Yasunori Mitsuda's stuff. Xenosaga 3 had some other really great music but that was done by Yuki Kajiura so it's a little different. Xenosaga 2 tho, we don't really talk about that ost much...

6:18 : Really looks like maleficent laughs. Like Evil himself laughing at you.

this is giving me damned flashbacks to a boss fight that used this piece that I was NOT prepared for. went on for a good 20 minutes sicne I could barely keep my party alive manually controlling a healer. all the while this piece of bombastic stress is wailing in the background. its interesting too, i havent beaten the game either but the three mobeus fights that I had were all in-universe very high stakes for the characters. do or die situations.

I Still want to recommend you Shadows of the lowlands from Xenoblade 2. It's very beautiful with the Choir video Nintendo made to accompany it.

When I was first getting into this game, I didn’t really enjoy the Moebius themes as much as others. However, I do appreciate how dire it sounds, which mirrors the gameplay well (playing on hard mode, pray for me 😂)

@@MarcoMeatball Hahaha) Yes, you watched the trailer. I remembered after writing, sorry🥲 BTW I really adore your videos. Your explanations of every melody, every tune, every mood change in the music are cool. It's so exciting to watch

I think everyday on how the heck this game lost best soundtrack at the game awards...

It sounds like the beginning is saying "Suck it, Suuuck it! Suck it suck cool sock COOOOOOOOOCK"

It sure is intense

Marco. You'll have a fun time as you spend more time playing Xenoblade Chronicles 3.

FINALLY!!!

Shoutout to badass flesh mecha

This ost should have won best ost at the game awards and idc what anyone else says xD

This vid made me morb

Hey Marco! Great reaction and analysis as always :) Just wanted to share this with you. A lot of the KZread uploads of the Xenoblade 3 soundtrack are rough when it comes to looping or audio quality (basically every upload of the Moebius theme has those weird cuts or audio pops) but there's a gamerip soundtrack released recently that is very well organized and AMAZING quality. Might be useful for future Xenoblade 3 reactions! There's even download links and an info sheet too in the comment section by the uploader. kzread.info/dash/bejne/aq6bm5ijqMm7f7w.html

Ooh interesting

Did you analyze phase 2 of the song? This is when the mocking superiority of phase 1 is drop and gets serious.

Plot twist: Marco was one of the people in the song.

I know youve learned this multiple times by now but for the future i really recommend you pay attention to this: Yasunori Mitsuda does not compose anything that sounds like a battle theme in Xenoblade. If it's a battle theme and sounds very actiony and intense, you should think ACE looooooooooooooong before you even consider Mitsuda. When you think of Mitsuda, you should think Corridors or Time from Chrono Trigger. That's not his only style but in Xenoblade his songe are MUCH less intense, MUCH more cinematic. Hope you can remember this for the future.

I want you to react to River in the Desert from Persona 5 Royal or the Persona series or franchise.

can you please check out Tiny Masterpiece of Evil? its a league of legends soundtrack that is by far my favourite orchestral track ever. it sound great and i love to see your opinion on it

Will you please play Xenoblade? These games honestly changed me, and I want you to understand the meaning behind these songs!

@@MarcoMeatball I feel it's pretty important that you play 1 and 2 before 3. The characters, story, and exploration are directly from Xenoblade 1 and 2
