Everytime I hear just a few seconds of one of these songs, immediately the emotions are coming up - sadness, hapiness, depression, calmness... It's just amazing what this game has to offer

I love seeing someone vibe to Giga Rosa without any context that you are fighting a 40 foot tall robot maid. Lol

You absolutely need to hear “The Tomorrow With You” preferably with “Parting” ahead of it. It brought the guy on Music Theory for Gamers to tears and pleading about the beauty of music. “Drifting Soul” and “One Last You” are also both vocal themes that are excellent. This is seriously probably my favorite OST of all time.

Because it came out in December. Smash Ultimate is an amazing game yet it was never nominated for ANYTHING, not even for best fighting game, which seems weird when Smash Wii U got nominated for best fighting game back when it came out. But that's all because Smash Ultimate came out in December. Games that come out in December never make it to The Game Awards because The Game Awards always take place during early december, while nominees are chosen as early as mid-November. So games that come out in late November - late December can't make it because they are technically still counted as releases of that year(so Xenoblade Chronicles 2 being released in December 2017 means it is still counted as a 2017 game, so it can't make it to 2018 Game Awards, but it also came out in December after the Nominees were already chosen, so it also can't make it to the 2017 Game Awards). This has been an issue with The Game Awards for a while now, and it's why game devs have a very difficult choice to make with end of year release dates: A. should they release it in December just before holidays to increase sales? or B. should they release it in October - November 1 - 2 months before holidays to have a chance of making it to The Game Awards while still having good sales advantages?

Xenoblade never winning an award for best ost is why I don't take and never will take TGW seriously.

The rollercoaster of emotions during the last 3 themes is amazing - jumping from "this is my favourite theme so far" to "oh i'm going to cry" and back to "OH SHIT THIS IS INSANE!!!!"

Xenoblade games always have such incredible music. I'm so glad you've been able to listen to it.

It's crazy how incredible all of these tracks are, yet they barely scratch the surface of XC2 OST quality! Elysium in the Dream, You Will Recall Our Names, After Despair and Hope, Contrition, We Are the Chosen Ones, Leftherian Archipelago, Drifting Soul, Parting, Tomorrow with You, and One Last You all deserve praise for being some of the best pieces of music ever made.

"This feels like it should be in a film" is such an interesting statement. As someone who has played video games their entire life, it feels weird that most people still have the perception that movies are important, while video games are not. But when was the last time any movie actually had a standout soundtrack? They might be great in the moment, and do perfectly accompany the movie, but they all kind of blend together and you forget them as soon as the movie's over. Video game composers have been putting out one amazing soundtrack after another for so many years that it always makes me sad that not more people take the time to listen to them and appreciate how masterful these songs are. So it's always great to see when someone discovers these OSTs and gets blown away by them.

What also blows me away is the sheer size of the OSTs. XC1 and XCX are each 4 CDs, XC2 / Torna are 6 CDs and XC3/FR are 9 CDs. And I personally think that there is not a single bad song in them.

to answer your question about standout movie OSTs: literally any ghibli film, they have the personality of a jrpg (which many movie soundtracks lack) while also being able to convey emotion in the movie context themselves

I rarely comment on reactions such as these, but I’m absolutely begging for you to discover more of this game’s OST, there’s just sooooo many amazing themes in this game you could cover. There NEEDS to be a part 2, maybe even a part 3, to fully appreciate how good the soundtrack is for Xenoblade 2.

The Xenoblade 2 soundtrack overall is the best of the numbered trilogy in my opinion, glad to see people enjoying such a masterful soundtrack! Here's to the Xenoblade 3 soundtrack next sometime!

I'm sad you didn't hear "Drifting Soul." It's an amazing theme that even has bits of it in songs in Xenoblade 3 due to how iconic it is.

Honestly you could easily do a part 2 of just Xenoblade 2 alone. Even so, still absolutely KEEN to see you checking out Xenoblade 3. The best in the series without question

XC3 goes unbelievably hard

This game's OST is super powerful. Music in Xenoblade 2 is so perfect. And don't even start me on the piano. There's still so much more of the OST that could be explored in the future... or even the 3rd Xenoblade game... 😏😏😏

Over recent years the piano has became my favourite instrument, and i think that comes down to how versatile it can be with how its played, being able to produce so many different sounds and vibes and melodies. But by far my favourite part is the sense of nostalgia it can bring out with the opening theme being a great example

Counterattack will always be my favorite from this OST... It plays during some of the hypest moments of the game, and it's just perfect the first time you hear it!

a shame you didn't listen to the beautiful vocal themes, since drifting soul and one last you are wonderful (also you should listen to the xenoblade 2 dlc music, if only to listen to torna battle theme and a moment of eternity)

This is a top 3 game of all time imo. For sure best soundtrack of all time though. I am telling you that you NEED to listen to more. This game has a huge soundtrack and literally all of them are just as good as the stuff you listened to here. Not even scratching the surface with these songs.

You said you liked the flutes in the Uraya section? Well if you like flutes, then you are going to _love_ Xenoblade 3's soundtrack.

Xenoblade has my favourite soundtrack of all time. They just don't miss

The Power of Jin. A mix of power and sorrow.

I was looking forward to this video. I'm so glad you appreciate Xenoblade's music, and 2 has my favourite OST out of the main trilogy. The piano for the main theme is a tradition for the trilogy and the DLC's by now. I could go on for hours about the flutes in other pieces too.

You’re gonna enjoy Xenoblade as a game too, the music evolves so much after each game only getting better

the main theme is also called "where we used to be" Uraya is the giant whale thing you see in the background of the cover and most video's of Xenoblade 2 songs the song of giga Rosa, AKA the theme of fighting a giant chibi maid mech piloted by a capitalist furball and his lackey Walking with you: a song for a Splendid Soul

Giga Rosa is not what I expected to be included, but I'm glad it was.

From this game’s OST: I NEED to see your reaction to Drifting Souls, Tantal’s theme (day), Shadow of the LowLands, Our Eternal Land, and We Are The Chosen Ones

Great reaction!! Continue reacting to Xenoblade's music, it's amazing! You could listen to some of the Xenoblade 3 soundtrack

Seeing people react to the OST and love it makes me so happy dude

Many music rippers tend to do two loops of the music. You can see that with the Xenoblade DE music, which for the Collector's Edition they distributed a selection and those did have only one loop and also a closing.

I know saying this is "THE" best ost wouldn't be serious , so, although that is what I do believe, I'll settle with "one of the best" OSTs ever made. I absolutely fell in love with it, and believe me, I listen to THE WHOLE thing, not skipping songs, quite often, because it's just that good. It is in fact the first OST that I decided to actually buy (phisical), and tagged along Nier ones. Hopefully you get the chance to listen to more of the tracks eventually, because there are some real masterpieces. "The tomorrow with you" is a must , best track in the ost imo (different but somewhat similar to "Walking with you"). Better if listened to right after "Parting". "Battle!!" from the Torna expancion DLC , anyone and their uncles will tell you it's an incredible piece...no use describing this one with mere words. Also for some choir ones, "Past from a distance" and "shadow of the lowlands" ...but if I were to keep on going I would never stop with so many bangers, emotionals, solemn, relaxing, incredible and beautiful pieces...so I'll stop xD.

@ag9953

Жыл бұрын

I think it's the most playful one, but each game is going for something different. The soundtrack for the first game is more heroic, with more choirs and grandiose motifs, the soundtrack for the third game is more melancholic, meant to reflect the twisted state of the world, but with notes of beauty here and there, especially in the themes that call back to the original worlds, like Great Sword Base. The soundtrack to X is 100% sci-fi action anime.

That Main Theme before I played the game gave me such a different slew of emotions then what I feel listening to it after I’ve beaten it. I love this game with all my heart.

I love love love Counterattack. The way its starts to build up, only to slow back down with that ticking noise of a clock ONLY to hit you RIGHT BACK with a massive Counter Strike.

The Giga Rosa theme is such a tokusatsu song! Tokusatsu being a genre of action shows that got popular in Japan during the 60's and 70's (tokusatsu means special effects). Look up old Kamen Rider or Ultraman themes or even the theme song from the Japanese Spider-Man show from the 70's and you'll see what I mean!

Xenoblade 2 ost is a masterpiece, there are lots of songs i love, please continue reacting to it =D Some recommendations: -Those who stand against our path >Battle -Bringer of chaos ultimate (Zeke battle theme) >Battle -Drifting Soul [the one with vocals] >Cutscene -Tantal >Exploration -Gormot >Exploration -Gramps (Fonsett village) >Location Great reaction as always 👍

You need to hear the 3 battle themes and the "kingom of tantal" too, day and night

If you liked the flutes in the Uraya theme just wait until you hear Xeonblade 3's soundtrack. The flute is really emphasized in it, and it's probably my favorite soundtrack in the series. I highly recommend the main theme of the game "A Life Sent On", which while not the title screen theme, is the song where the game gets a lot of motifs from, and it's absolutely breathtaking.

After watching now 3 videos of you reacting to my favorite game OSTs, you are one of my new favorite reaction channels!

PLEASE do a second one of these for XC2 since there are many tracks that I would say are more significant to listen to than Giga Rosa or The Power of Jin. The music of 2 is the best in the entire series. I’d recommend the day theme of Tantal, the Battle-Torna theme, Cliffs of Morytha theme, THE DECISION (You HAVE to listen to The Decision, it’s literally Godly music in the most literal sense), Incoming! (Optional, this one you can skip) & Tomorrow With You.

xc2 my fav videogame music ost ever made, from my 30 years in this industry I never experienced something so amazing as this francise and specifically this game music. Not to mention the story so beautiful and such a rollercoster

The soundtrack for this game is nothing short of incredible. If you ever listen to more some i always enjoy listening to are: Incoming Parting The Tomorrow with You Bringer of Chaos Ultimate A nopon's life A faint hope One last You Torna Battle A moment of eternity.

Xenoblade 3 suggestions ❤ -Off Seer -A life sent on (flute) -Carrying the Weight of Life -The Bereavded and Those Left behind -Battle Mobius -Noah and N -You Will know our names (finale) -Origin Depths: Section A -Showdown with Z

I'd definitely recommend Bringer of Chaos and Still Move Forward if you plan on doing a part 2 to this

And now Xenoblade X and 3

Just wait till you listen to Xenoblade Chronicles 3

Now we need xenoblade 3 lmao (pls listen to The weight of life 😭)

If you like Walking With You, there is another song in the OST called Desolation. This is a piano arrangement of Walking With You.

I played the games starting back in 2020 and I still think about them all the time. The stories, the characters, the music, the worlds. You owe it to yourself to try xenoblade 1. That games ending is mind blowing

Will there be a follow up with more of the soundtrack? You HAVE to hear Battle!!/Torna

Xenoblade 2 is my favorite game of all time and im so glad you are covering it! So many good songs and you’re barely scratching the surface with a few of them.

A bit late, but if you have the time, I'd heavily suggest the song Desolation, its a much more somber piano rendition of Walking With You that never fails to get me (and many others) emotional. Its simply gorgeous.

You have to see Uraya scene with the theme. It's truly mesmerizing.

If the vocals from Engage the Enemy sent you youd literally explode hearing Drifting Soul its such a beautiful song

One of the most chilling yet beautiful tracks is "past from far distance"

I also recommend tomorrow with you, drifting souls, and gormott day! Edit. The decision and counterattack as well!

Okay I’m electing that we’re gonna need a part 2 to this one as well if we’re getting one for Xenoblade 3. So many bangers weren’t heard on this one

What can we say, if there's one thing Monolith Soft never gets wrong, that's music. Definitely.

You should definitely listen to more Xenoblade music (including Future Connected, Torna and Future Redeemed), all games had amazing soundtracks. "Counterattack" is the younger sibling of "Confrontation with the Enemy" from the first game, something I picked up straight away. I did not appreciate the similarities - people actually had to explain to me that this song was supposed to get me all pumped and happy because all I could feel was terror. I can only imagine the big, silly grins on the musicians' faces when they recorded the "Song of Giga Rrrrrrosa". Based on the music, can you guess what Jin's power is?

Great video! This songs are beautiful. I recommend that you listen to the song, Gormott and Letherian archipelago, also from this game, I’m sure they will blow up your mind 😉. You can listen to the night versions of all this songs as well!, those are lovely too

Hearing the Xenoblade 2 title theme brings me back to 2019, when I picked up the game for the first time, and all the memories from the game. Monolith might be the best storytellers ever

My favorite game ever.

I just love more people reacting to the XC2 OST, it's amazing, you're sweet and fun! You should listen night version of world musics they're so pretty, like Mor Ardain and Uraya example, also one of my favorites, Alba Cavanich night theme (which is capital of Mor Ardain ;)

Counterattack is one of the greatest Video Game songs of all time and probably best song in the entire series, X and 3 included, I was so mad when Xenoblade 2 got completely snubbed at the game awards for any recognition whatsoever that year and wasn't even included in the next year either.

25:30 I love the little ''No please c'mon dude I'm not read- okay fine I'll ride it out'' X'D

I'm playing Xenoblade 1 on switch the "Walking with you" song makes me scared like WTF y’all bout to do😭

Oh hell yeah, this game’s ost is fantastic

Counterattack back then, as another XC installment, significantly changed my perspective on video games. I love the Xenoblade trilogy

Here's an "Oh that makes sense": Counterattack is Xenoblade 2's equivalent to Engage the Enemy.

Counterattack is a theme that carries the game on its shoulders. I know people who bought the game after hearing that theme alone. I might have many issues with this entry in the series but I cant deny how much of a hype song that is.

Song of Giga Rosa beginning reminds me of Sogeking intro

Walking with you moment: “Words can be a curse” 🥺😭

This need part 2!!! To many great songs await truste me cof cof Tomorrow With You, Drifting souls cof cof ;)

Kingdom of Uraya is my favorite track

Counteratack is REX theme, that theme contains REX personality and his Hero journey.

Before going to xenoblade 3, you should do a sequel to this and do the songs from future connected, torna the golden country, and a bunch more from 2

The frustrating part is that there are so, so many more absolute bangers in this ost. This is only scratching the surface.

The main theme has always given me Laputa vibes.

This game has the best sountrack ever, no one can contest this. Just play this game; i'm 35 year's old, more than 20 years of gaming, this game is by far my best remember of all time.

The upcoming Main Themes from 2 and 3 are actually not from Yoko Shimomura anymore and thus a more focused on Piano than the whole orchestra thing. But they are obviously still AMAZINGLY BEAUTIFUL!

I thing thats missed just by listening to the main theme of 2 is that it is missing how its woven into many of the other songs in the soundtrack

I will quote our boy Rex here with his magnificent voice : "This is to ridiculous for words ! Come on !"

Fun Fact: "Counterattack" is meant to parallel and be 2's version of "Engage the Enemy" from 1 with musical references to it. 3 Also has its own version too which musically references both "Engage the Enemy" and "Counterattack" called "The Weight of Life." I just love how these tracks with identical purposes in these stories are made to sound alike.

Really hoping for a part two on Xenoblade Chronicles 2 ost

Whoever recommended those XC2 track’s definitely knew what they were doing. They definitely chose some highlights in that game. XC2 has a lot of great tracks

23:40 "I thought it was about to be wild" YOU FOOL

I really want you to hear Drifting Soul, its a great song from this game

Can't believe you didn't hear The Tomorrow With You. I highly recommend it, it's probably the best song in the game. I also highly recommend One Last You.

Will you cover also xenoblade 3 and Future redeemed?

my top 3 for this game - Mor Ardain - Incoming - Battle/Torna [i know i know, is from DLC but anyway...] Waiting for Xenoblade 3, literally the best of both worlds in music and other aspects. My suggestions: Chain Attack, A Formidable Enemy, The Weight of Life, Moebius theme, and of course New Battle [because peak DLC battle theme CHANGE MY MIND]

The Abandoned city it's a beautiful song of this game

My 2nd favorite video game OST of all time, behind Old-School Runescape. It just goes so above and beyond, and vastly outdoes 3's OST in my opinion.

You gotta get to the third game at some point. That one has a lot of beautiful and emotional songs.

I hope you'll do Xenoblade 3 next. I want to see your reaction to Moebius Battle and Carrying the Weight of Life. It's the game the that was nominated for Best Music in The Game Awards.
