Note: (I am ignoring Xenoblade X due to not being the biggest fan of that game and don’t quite remember the music as much. No disrespect to the game itself, lots of highs, but wasn’t for me and a soundtrack I wasn’t fond of either. I haven’t played it in years and forgot a lot of it. Will definitely like to play a remaster if that happens)
If you’re a Xenoblade fan, then know to expect a killer soundtrack.
And in that killer soundtrack is that one song that usually plays in a pivotal moment in a cutscene.
And each Xeno game has “that” song.
Xenoblade 1: Engage the Enemy
Interesting enough, we have 2 tracks here. The original from the Wii version and switch remastered version. Fans had a little debate which is better when it released. Vocals were praised higher in the original. I think the remastered ends better.
Xenoblade 2: Counterattack.
Now here’s a track that plays frequently in Xenoblade 2. That game does have a lot of moments to use it was well. Arguably maybe too much usage. There’s also an another song in Xeno 2 that uses the counterattack like structure but different name. Also has, in my opinion, a underwhelming remix in Smash ultimate.
Xenoblade 3: Carrying the Weight of Life
Unlike pervious Xeno games. This track actually plays very very little in the main game lol. And one we didn’t actually get the full name until a few weeks ago. Personally my favorite of the 3 tracks, I think it has the strongest ending. And a shame it isn’t in the story more often, tho the scenes they appeared in are cool. And I saw it in Future Redeemed just recently. Pretty cool.
So, what’s your favorite? I like all 3 regardless of picking one. But for my taste. It’s Xeno’s 3 song.
