Love the build up to Gaur Plain. You come out of the shelter of colony 9 and through Tephra Cave and then see the mechonis looming in the distance and the rest of the bionis towering over you, then you walk in silence from the kneecap through a narrow pass and then this hits you as you see how big and open and spectacular Gaur Plain is. An amazing moment.
Imo it should have turned to day right after getting out of Tephra Cave and throughout the buildup to the cutscene, because the day music goes so wonderfully with the cutscenes. Yes this would be a very small, almost meaningless change, but it’s hard to find a meaningful change in a game like this
"What a nice music! Perfect for exploring this beautiful pla-" *music changes* "Wait, who changed the music?" *Territorial Rotbart comes towards you while You Will Know Our Names plays* "Holy s***!"

I like how this version of gaur plain puts more emphasis on the melody, it definitely gives of that richness. Still sad at the drastic softening of the kick drums though
I'm actually glad, I could never listen to the original because the kick legit gave me headache. This is not an exaggeration, I can't stress this enough.
One of the most memorable moments of this game, for me, was stepping out into Gaur Plain for the first time. It felt like the game was taking off the training wheels for the player and said "Roam free".
3:18 is definitely the most improved part of this arrangement in its transition to live instruments. These strings mean serious business and they're nice as hell!
I remember being so excited for this game to come out once it was announced in September 2019, and knowing that the bionis leg was pretty important because of smash. Exploring this area on the day the game came out, after everything that happens in colony 9 just felt so surreal. I was finally playing xenoblade Chronicles, a game I had heard nothing but amazing things of, and this music just makes it so perfect
Shulk: Glass Canon, traits, Speed-Has the Monado. Playtime- 75% of the game Ryan: Tank, traits- beefy, high single target damage, “ALIOOP”. Playtime 7% of the game. Sharla: Healer, traits- Heals the party, cures the party of debuffs, has a gun. Playtime >2% What’s that 2%? When I had to fight a [REDACTED] in the [redacted] because I was doing an all girls bit and had to take control of the healing.
Me with a 75% melia playtime, cause holy fuck, optimized melia damage is a hard drug. Who needs heals when melia melts everything she comes in contact with. Also all girls party is surprisingly viable. Fiora is busted as shit, and can take some aggro, Melia kills every single thing in existance, and Sharla exists for moral support and to ship Melia and shulk.
For the next Smash Bros. game, they should replace all the Xenoblade 1 songs with their Definitive Edition arrangements, and also play the full four minutes of Gaur Plain instead of prematurely looping it after only two minutes
Yes please. They also did that looping thing to id purpose from fire emblem... I kinda get it, they're both relatively calm songs that go on for a while (aka not that fitting of a fight), but still, they're good so keep all of it
Having the music turn off on the walk up to the area just gets you so pumped for what's next, and then it's this massive, grand field with kickass music. This is where the journey begins, and you will know it.
Anyone playing this for the first time: Ah out in the open world. Look at all the beauty and this nice music. Sure it has a sad beginning to the journey but I'm sure it'll all be wel-... Wtf is that thing!? Oh crap it's level 80! It's coming towards me! Bionis why have you betrayed me!?
This song was the most eye opening for me. Running out of the crevice and then getting hit with this masterpiece really got me excited for all the game had in store
rip to those who did not enter bionis leg during the day, the night theme is good, but the cutscene of showing the leg off with this version just hits so much.
Gormott is like rearranged gaur plain, not calling it lazy or cheap but there’s definitely similar progression and chords in it to make that connection, both are great in their own
Its more or less the same idea. A very free sounding song, alongside the largest plains area in the game, where you're left to explore for the first time.
First! I just got to Bionis Leg, and I wasn't able to hear the music because I am going back to my old villa for graduation. The newer version is a really nice mix up.
Probably the only one who didn't have trouble with Territorial Rotbart I mean, he was always very, very far away from me... Also, a fact, in the spanish version of the game (I'm spanish for that I know), Territorial Rotbart is called "Barbarossa the Hostile"
Between this soundtrack, Final Fantasy XV, and the original non=Disney songs from Kingdom Hearts, I think I consider Yoko Shimomura just as amazing as even Nobuo Uematsu. It's just a different kind of awesome
I prefer the original to this remaster but that's just my take. Explanation: if you listen to both, you find that the bass is more prominent and punchier in the old one which I personally like better. This is still a great track remastered but it more heavily features the main violin and pushes the bass further back
I was really thinking that it would be more there too. The quiet part sounds a lot better though. Thank goodness for the option to go back to the original.
@@noel-vrchattutorials5162 I actually didn't know they had the option for the original. Must admit I far prefer the re-recording, but then I have more of a classical background. It's awesome that they've made it for everyone.
Hot take here: While 3:18 onwards and the famous intro are absolutely spectacular, this remains unironically one of my least favourite area themes. Oh, don't get me wrong - it's not bad in the slightest, it's just that the other areas are better imo
I completely agree, I've always found it overrated. But whenever I say that people get mad haha. I think its good but most every other major area theme in all 3 xenoblade games are better in my opinion

Its like in ocarina of time when you got to hyrule field

This is how you do an overworld theme correctly.

What about getting brutally murdered by a 20 foot tool ape within 1 minute of entering Bionis leg
True

3:18 is definitely the most improved part of this arrangement in its transition to live instruments. These strings mean serious business and they're nice as hell!
Perfectly captures that feeling of exploring a vast, open world. Simply incredible.

Starting at 20 seconds, you can literally sing along to the chorus of ABBA's 'Dancing Queen' until about 50 seconds.
the only song you'll hear for hours opon hours if you want to play every quest :)
you'll hear colony 9 a lot more
Nothing is more entertaining to me than spamming the monado activation button constantly in a chain attack. Shulk really doesnt shut up...
or spamming Monado activation during his normal battle...
"This is the Monado's power!" x99
^This^
Sadly no, seems he just runs around shouting about the Monado's power normally now :\
Love how this song is right next to 'you will know our names' in my mix
As it should be... 😂😂
