**Dickson getting more and more exasperated as Shulk and Co. keep getting sidetracked with filling the Collectopedia, farming gems, grinding for rare drops and just flat up leaving to finish yet another sidequest.**
@@nsbathome It always bothered me that there are regular enemies that are higher levels than the final boss. I'd like to imagine that in actuality Zanza is stronger than every enemy, the only reason he's level 81 is just for story purposes. Plus, he also has a lot more HP than the Telethia in Alcamoth.
@@They_are_Arthur TBF, the game only tells you that Zanza is level ??? - you're not supposed to know he's weaker than a big cow hanging around outside Frontier Village or the owls in Satorl Marsh
When Dickson thinks the fight is gonna be a piece of cake, but your party has been spending weeks levelling up by killing Kromars on the Kromar Coast and Telethia in Alcamoth.
I get the feeling prison island wasn’t always a prison. Banquet halls, kitchens, arenas, and what looks like a head table in the banquet area. I feel like this was either the capital for the Giants (like Alcamoth for the High Entia, since they’re both above Eryth Sea) or maybe the early days of the High Entia? I swear I’m hearing bits of Eryth Sea in this track so maybe I’m crazy
My personal opinion is that it was once a high Entia capital, before they eventually sealed Zanza there. If it belonged to the Giants, there would be no reason for the ancient high entia statues out in front.
I remember my first playthrough and upon the door opening this song just blasted. I was in awe at how amazing and extreme it sounded. The end truly did lie ahead.
Is it just me, or is this song mixed weirdly quiet in DE? I remember having the same experience in the original, but I just got to this part last night and could barely hear the music. Too bad because this is a great update!
@@coyotelongshot During cutscenes, they muffle the bg music a little so you can hear the voices better. I really wish they didn't do that but it makes sense
I ADORE the brief moments of gentle, bitter-sweet piano, strings and woodwind in amidst the overwhelming melody of the drums and other instruments. It's almost as if it represents Shulk and the others reflecting on everything and _everyone_ they've lost on this journey, and are using it to keep powering on. THIS is how you do an (almost) final area theme
I absolutely loved this song when I heard it the first time in the original because of how dramatic it sounds and it makes your heart race!! I am so glad this Xenoblade Chronicles made it on switch!!!!
@Hkg 1 you know it would've been a pretty great combat system, but that f-ing level penalty is so bad. And they should've done an xc2 style challenge area for an actual challenge
While the string samples in the original were always pretty good, having real woodwinds and brass has elevated this piece so much! I think I even hear woodwind parts that weren't in the original orchestration?
@@kami-chan3200 Honestly, I think the issue most people take with the remastered tracks lies in how the string section is mixed with everything else. As I said in my original comment, the synthesized string samples in the original tracks are quite good. I think the sound team realized that and mixed string parts to the front as often as possible. The remaster has a full orchestra so there's no need to worry to about one sample sounding better than another, so the sound mixers could focus more on bringing out the varying parts in the orchestration. None of the tracks have really been changed in terms of arrangement, but I think for a lot of people that string forward sound is THE Xenoblade sound so I understand why the remastered tracks can be jarring. Nevertheless, live musicians bring nuances in phrasing and articulation that MIDI just cannot match at this time.
This was one hell of a final dungeon! And I mean that in the best of ways. The dramatic opening of the door and this song brought life to this area I thought I wouldn't see again, suddenly forcing me to scale 6 floors of tought enemies with little check points. Going thru this area gave me the grinding I needed because I was super underleveled at that point. Scaling the dungeon, finding incredible gear all in one great accent to the top, where dickson, and eventually the zanza fight, lie, all while listening to this fucking BANGER of a track. Those last few hours of just scaling the dungeon are some I will never forget.
It's just so epic hearing this theme play when the doors open. This final area theme is just perfect. Prison island is definitely a really good final dungeon.

I do kinda miss the constant hats that were played in the original, but oh FUCK. THE BRASS THE OBOE THE MOTHERFUCKING PICCOLO JUST GOIN HAM and of course, THE STRINGS. OOOOOOH THE STRINGS These rearrangements definitely don't all hit the mark, but goddamn do they bring so much with the full orchestrations. I just love hearing all of these beautiful sounding instruments in these songs.
Man, I know Prison Island is cool but this place just can't get a rest, can it? First it wasn’t even originally made as a prison, then it was used to keep a god sealed for a very long time (from which it gained its name), then said god's disciple used this place as last stop between the god and the party who wanted to kill him, and now it is where the story of Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Future Redeemed reaches its end
@@amburprice8479 BotW itself exists because the Zelda team was so inspired by Xenoblade to begin with, and realized that Monolith was doing what they (the Zelda team) should have been doing all along. That's why we had such an amazing turn-around from the obnoxiously linear and handholdy Skyward Sword to BotW.
God this music is nice! I just beat DE yesterday for the first time ever. This game was an experience. A story with this place. I’m on Travalga Bridge, on my way to summon the Dragon. I’m decently leveled (about level 78) so I go on to take on the gargoyle enemies that’ll aggro me cuz their portrait is still blue. The fights are easy so in order to get rare drops and make things more interesting, I go on to aggro more of them. So I’m there fighting about 4 of those guys at the same time. Notice one of the Laia flying around aggro me, no problem. One more enemy. Then, You Will Know Our Names starts playing. It’s Masterful Gigapur whose the same level as me (white portrait). I’m freaking out and somehow all the Laia in the area except one aggro me so there’s a horde if enemies against my party. Somehow, I pulled through and beat them all. Had my best team combo (Shulk/Dunban/Riki) so that definitely helped me but there were SO MANY close calls in that fight. Honestly my favorite battle experience so far, enjoyed it more than the final boss in the sense where I felt I was reacting and playing very safe. Now I’m off to do the high level sidequest stuff. Can’t wait to battle the Superbosses!
Just beat this game for the first time about 6 hours ago with my cousin who I also played through all of XC2 with, and when we wake up we’re planning on finishing Future Connected which we started a bit more recently. This song absolutely floored me when it started playing and is easily one of my favorite tracks in the game. I’m looking forward to what tracks FC holds as well.
It wasn't until I actually played the game myself that I realised that when Melia says "so it has sunk into the Bionis' head”, she meant that the whole of Prison Island had just been caved into the Bionis' skull. I always thought for some reason that the island was just submerged into Eryth Sea, but then I skip-travelled there and quickly realised how wrong I was. That also makes the background of this place even more awesome too.
Surprisingly this play-through I found myself having Fiora tank. And this part gave me little issue. My party was Melia (Me), Fiora, Sharla. Decent team. I do love Melia.
I will tell my experience with a short story with this game. I was doing a challenge with a friend and I have to finish the game in one month. And if I lose I would have make a tshirt with me praising him with the superiority meme, but If i would manage to win, then my friend have to do it. I was in my last day of the challenge, I cant continue the sidequest and completionist, so I proceed with the few chapter with Seven, rushing the story. It was great, this music feel in my heart when I was in my finals hours of the challenge before I lose, and I feel like the urgency to save the world before it was to late. I run to Dickson, and it was all a rollercoaster of emotion... But at the end I win the challenge right one hour before the end. U should try thing like this, it put a lot of challenge :) Oh, and my friend at the end didnt make the tshirt because he is a coward 😂(😥)
@@ftufaif still pisses me off that North America got the short end of the stick when it came to the collector's edition. I was at least lucky enough to have a friend in the UK whom I could give money to so they could buy it for me.
I feel like maybe due to the increased sound space the drums at the beginning don't crash as much as they should. Still think the song's great but it lacks the oomph that the first one had. Lemme put it this way. I'm still feeling it, but I really feel it with the original.
Babychris66 Well yeah but I’ve heard synthesized tracks that feel open and dynamic. I think part of it might be the older sound technology of the Wii. Or maybe the newer tracks mixing has a more dynamic EQ. Unless you meant that the old song was made to be more flat and I just misunderstood you.
I think I prefer the old one just because this one seems less pronounced with it's sound, it's harder to hear the *punch* and the background drowns out the unique parts here. still good
I liken it to the negative space version of music. You know what the melody is, but the composer opts to instead play around the spaces surrounding it. The melody blasts in your head, despite it not being there, and a bunch of other interesting sounds occupy that space. I absolutely love it.
the one part about this that I don't like is that sometimes the flute or recorder or whatever that is gets drowned out by everything else and it makes the song sound like somebody is just dooting randomly
Jonah Laining I respect your opinion, and this soundtrack is good too, but in my opinion, the original soundtrack is worlds better. In the Fallen Arm is one of my favorite songs in that game and it cannot be topped. It is so beautiful. This whole game is beautiful and it’s soundtrack is it’s keystone. What a masterpiece.
The original sounds more intense and dramatic and this one sounds more musical and emotional. Honestly I prefer the original but this one it still amazing.
Top 3 song that definitive edition butchered 3: you will know our names 2: gaur plain 1: this (I’m sorry the first version was just mixed so perfectly)
To be honest, I don't like this version of the song as much as the original, because there was one part of the song that killed it for me the second I started listening: the first note sounds extremely strained IMO.
This is a rare thing in this remastered ost, but. I don't think this does the original justice. The percussion is too quiet, and it doesn't have that kick right at the start. It feels...lackluster, compared to the original. It's the only area in the game this happens (outside of fights at least)

Monolithsoft worked on BoTW, so it's not very surprising

@Jacob Grigley He might be saying the remixed version is more like BOTW's Hyrule Castle. Which I agree with.
which ganon tower?
I just got here, I was playing in handheld mode with maximum audio on headphones since the area was so quiet. That was a mistake.
Prison Island should have gotten its own battle theme since it's such a unique location. It doesn't feel like you're on either the Bionis or Mechonis.
Xenoblade Chronicles 2 and 3 learned from this mistake.
@@aashniw7125 I would've hoped that Definitive Edition would have fixed it at least. Given it the space battle theme.

It was perhaps a temple where Zanza's followers worshipped him and held feasts in his honor before awareness of him faded

It's kinda the other way around, though. BotW took a lot of inspiration from this game.

I feel like maybe due to the increased sound space the drums at the beginning don't crash as much as they should. Still think the song's great but it lacks the oomph that the first one had. Lemme put it this way. I'm still feeling it, but I really feel it with the original.
Babychris66 Well yeah but I’ve heard synthesized tracks that feel open and dynamic. I think part of it might be the older sound technology of the Wii. Or maybe the newer tracks mixing has a more dynamic EQ. Unless you meant that the old song was made to be more flat and I just misunderstood you.
@@IshPPG the person you are replying to literally has zero clue about any of this shit there's no point
The titan theme from Final Fantasy VII Rebirth sounds very similar
Wait you are supposed to open the doors? I just went around them every time I got to this part and it worked
Downside of this track is that I don't think it loops very well
this gives me botw hyrule castle vibes
I think I prefer the old one just because this one seems less pronounced with it's sound, it's harder to hear the *punch* and the background drowns out the unique parts here. still good
I liken it to the negative space version of music. You know what the melody is, but the composer opts to instead play around the spaces surrounding it. The melody blasts in your head, despite it not being there, and a bunch of other interesting sounds occupy that space. I absolutely love it.
They changed the title 🌝 why ?
Some have it as to the last battle and some have it as the end lies ahead
@@pesky2119 The End Lies Ahead is its official localized title. To the Last Battle is the direct translation of the Japanese title.
In the original soundtrack that I have the Refugee Camp is called "Escape Boat Campaign".
Gah, missing one part from the original.
Where?
@@adre2194 Compare 2:41 of both versions. Maybe cuz I'm not using headphones right now, but I can't hear the bells.
the one part about this that I don't like is that sometimes the flute or recorder or whatever that is gets drowned out by everything else and it makes the song sound like somebody is just dooting randomly
This is the only song in the soundtrack that I think is better in the definitive edition. I never noticed it in the original but it is great here.
Jonah Laining I respect your opinion, and this soundtrack is good too, but in my opinion, the original soundtrack is worlds better. In the Fallen Arm is one of my favorite songs in that game and it cannot be topped. It is so beautiful. This whole game is beautiful and it’s soundtrack is it’s keystone. What a masterpiece.
The original sounds more intense and dramatic and this one sounds more musical and emotional. Honestly I prefer the original but this one it still amazing.
The only original one I myself prefer is Engage the Enemy
Exactly the original is better :/, but is good the remake
I don't get it, to me this is one of the ones that sound like a direct upgrade
@Jonah Laining this one is way more intense imho
This one is waaaay better for me.
Top 3 song that definitive edition butchered
3: you will know our names
2: gaur plain
1: this (I’m sorry the first version was just mixed so perfectly)
I swear, 1:14 sounds like the Final Fantasy theme.
To be honest, I don't like this version of the song as much as the original, because there was one part of the song that killed it for me the second I started listening: the first note sounds extremely strained IMO.
This is a rare thing in this remastered ost, but. I don't think this does the original justice. The percussion is too quiet, and it doesn't have that kick right at the start. It feels...lackluster, compared to the original.
It's the only area in the game this happens (outside of fights at least)
I'm having a hard time liking any of the new arrangements more than the previous ones
