Starting Xenoblade 2: "wait, how does this game tie onto Xenoblade 1?"
Finishing Xenoblade 2: "*Oh*."
The ending theme of xbc1: "Beyond the Sky"
The title theme for xbc2: "Where We Used to Be"
The final boss theme from 1: loud, overwhelming, basking it's own hype
The ancient ship's in 2: melancholic, reflective, broken
Lol imagine if Ophion didn’t knock the gang into Uraya’s mouth and they entered the world tree at like level 15
big oof lmao
Kid Amalthus made his way through it! ...Somehow.
@@RawkHawk2010 Ophion didnt guard the world tree before Amalthus climbed it. This happened after the cores were taken to earth I mean Alrest.
@@wolfx.2546 By "through it" I meant through the interior of the World Tree, where Amalthus had to make it to and from the Architect's Room without attraction too much attention from dudes like Haywire Radclyffe.
@@RawkHawk2010 o like that. Eh whatever, that lanky bastard slid through everything like the snake he was.
"Wait, it's all sci-fi?"
"Always has been"
Late Xenoblade areas like:
@@Fermin-hw5pd It's funny how in the first game it's the other way around. Sort of.
@@ltb1345 No, Mechonis had some of the last areas, but they went back to Bionis
ever since a sad captain gave the order to self-destruct
Xenoblade in a nutshell
Yggdrasil. Actual elevator music.
Space elevator music
I hate you but take my like
Jakob Orbital from Mega Man x8
Elevator music doesn't have guitar riffs backed by chanting.
@@freshlymemed5680 Sadly. It would be a good deal better of it did
"Man all these forests and caves are so cool!"
*"What do you mean the TREE is a SPACE STATION!?!?"*
Same reaction
Yeah exactly like that
Correction:
WHAT DO YOU MEAN THE TREE IS A SPACE ELEVATOR THAT LEADS TO A FRIGGIN SPACE STATION.
i was getting the foreshadow from the cut scenes, of that place isn't what it really looks like.
But then see that thing been a frigging space elevator all this time was truly a surprise where the game drop the fantasy pretense and goes into sci-fi territory befitting the Xenosaga.
I didn't have that big of a reaction to this. After all the other things that had just happened, the tree being a space station felt completely normal.
Morytha and the World Tree is where the fantasy starts bleeding away and the awesome weirdness that is Xeno comes out in full force.
Even phantasy star and star ocean did this too. I love the mix of fantasy and sci-fi!
It kinda ripped me out of the world and story though and it just made me feel weird and out of place. In the end in hindsight it worked well, but while playing, at the time I didn't really like it.
Tom Hew i liked it. It almost felt like this entire journey was just an experiment, in a controlled area or something. Obviously it wasnt, but it has the same feel, the fantasy elements outside of the world tree, and the more sci fi elements inside of it that arnt an impossibility in our own world.
@@Big-Chungus21 yeah I know what you mean, thats exactly what made it feel so eerie and weird. the anime experience was being turned a bit too sci-fi/real
@@Tom-101 Did you play Xenoblade 1 (then it would make more sense to you probably). Every Xenoblade has that change that destroys expectations, it's kinda a brand image by now. i love the connection between real world/sci fi and fantasy.
everybody gangsta until the main theme starts playing as a dungeon ost
It's fitting. It's the first song you hear when booting up the game, and now it's remix is in the last major area. After that Elysium in the dream is shattered, and the main theme comes back in a slow ambient albeit creepy track.
God when unfathomed force hits in Trails to Azure's final dungeon
Time gear in temporal tower
Sora no Kiseki in Axis pillar
God it's so good every time
The theme of being under leveled and having to find ladders to escape from enemys
I always was prepared for the world tree
I killed everything on my way up, all the uniques included
Jin and Amalthus were the underleveled ones
lel
Amalthus melt in less than 5min minutes for me, 2 rotations of 3blades, 3 blade combo third stage, true form, chain attack 3orbs, byebye
Not if you adopt the classic JRPG tactic before arriving
*G R I N D*
I was the exact opposite. I was overleveled until the very end and I think I only used an inn for bonus experience maybe once or twice near the beginning of the game XD
Fans: Wow, Xenoblade 2 is really cool for a fantasy RPG
Monolith Soft: SUCKERS! now it's a sci-fi game!
Fantasy crossed with the mech genre. The near break out of war between mor ardain and Uraya starts to bleed that more science-y sci-fi that comes back much later on, with Roderic questioning Judiciam's true intentions on coming up with and creating the flesh eaters. I do like that his thoughts on it ended up being part of the greater truth and was unknowingly right.
XC1 too
welcome to Xenoblade
Xeno games are always sci fi.
@@alvinchimp1392 True, but XC2 started out with a more steampunk-fantasy feel.
Makes you feel "Man, I've come so far."
Gives ya quite the goosebumps, doesn't it?😝
Really makes you feel like you're Xenoblade Chronicles 2.
"Last dungeon" theme.
@@the1zeldafan609 won't you really agree these have been the Xenoblade chronicles?
@@the1zeldafan609 ...Get out.
When you find a Space Elevator in a fantasy world.
you can see the elevator going to the bean stock from Temperanchia. If you go back to it and walk away from the titan you fight Jin on, and head to where the world tree is you can see it.
@@funnynameforme4091 Really? I have to check that now.
@@dianavi1893 so I remembered this tweet and decided to go check
Turns out you can see the Elevator from pretty much anywhere that fits 2 properties
1. It's outside
2. It's far enough away to see the top
It literally takes a Chapter and a half just to climb this damn tree.
Good thing that the music’s great
I don't even remember Prison Island being that long.
Serious Striker it isn't.
You try climbing from ground level to the exosphere in under 2 days (it’s a joke 😂)
As soon as I saw the elevator at the tree’s base, I was thinking “This is gonna take a while, ain’t it?” Little did I know that an entire chapter goes by before reaching the top.
I immediately felt the Mechonis Field throwback when I looked up.
So much verticality...
They didn't have to do it... They didn't have to make the World Tree theme a super smooth atmospheric rock and roll jam... BUT THEY FREAKING TOTALLY DID IT
That guitar solo be taking me out i swear
Heh, ATMOSPHERIC? And it's a space station?
@@lunalgaleo1991 AYYYY Clever! XD Yess
@@jellycore1316 XD
It sounds kinda like Risk of Rain 2, which itself has the designation of Prog metal.
When I hear this theme, all I can think of is just how surreal it was entering the World Tree for the first time. You've been staring at it in the distance all game, thinking it's an actual tree. Then you get inside and turns out it's a mechanized tower. It feels like a whole other world in there and that is exactly what this theme captures.
Just finished this game for the first time a few days ago. As a person who hasn’t played the first Xenoblade I was caught completely off guard. And then once you start putting two and two together that there’s a modern looking city under the cloud sea and that the world tree is man made it becomes pretty obvious that the architect is just a regular dude.
@@PriestessOfSlaanesh Jesus Hilda I didn't know you hated the church so much.
@@uncomfortablyclose8481 you HAVE to play xc1 when it comes to switch
i kinda saw it coming, but that's because i played the other xeno games and at that point you figure out it's gonna be something unexpected.
@@PriestessOfSlaanesh what the fuck Hilda
The final hours of this game were so shockingly surreal, I don’t think I’m going to ever forget what it was like to enter the World Tree for the first time. I was in utter disbelief to see what it REALLY was, and this theme really helped push that otherworldly feeling. Not to mention the even greater shock of finding Elysium in ruin at the top… I love this game so much.
Same! Instead of going to where I was supposed to go to shoot the glowing pillars on Indol, I just watched Mikhail and Amalthus fight for like a straight hour or so lol
This game's endgame is godlike
@@MrLee64 Mikhail is the only Torna member I like i hate Ahkos cause of chapter 3 and Patroka was just a typical Tsun
@@elvinthegengar6083 yeah I agree
@@MrLee64 oh cool its nice meeting someone with the same opinion
I can't get over how good this song is.
No one can. I come here almost everyday and goosebumps hit me every single time
This song is nut-worthy in every timeline.
truth
I played it while doing homework
I can’t get over how good the whole OST is
guitar solo is everything.
Followed by those wails!
It’s all about that bass tho
Fuckin facts
The part that always gets me is When the drums tell the guitar to go all out.
I pissed me off whenever a mob would interrupt these sweet, sweet riffs
Interupting With another banger
become level 99 lol
If you listen closely, you can here bells in some parts of this OST, the bells of elysium are calling for you to get up there!
... Too bad it wasn't exactly the Elysium that you remember.
Kinda cool if the bells were meant to refer the Elysium.
You're right, if you listen closely you can hear the bells being hit slowly over and over agin during this theme. That's so cool!!! Thanks so much fro pointing it out!
*THE FUCKING GUITAR RIFF/SOLO IS GOD HIMSELF*
FAX
I'm now imagining Klaus shredding on a guitar as he's waiting for everyone to show up
@@UltimaPhoenix-dx3kt And he'll be doing it all soulfully.
That moment when you realize that the world "tree" is very much not a tree, and the entire goal of the game suddenly just became clear...
If you think about it, this is peak elevator music.
I love how the space station was actually teased at in the promotional art from the beginning. If you look at the wallpaper version of the image that this video uses, you can actually see the tower continues past the canopy of the World Tree. I noticed this before the game came out and I was like :0
Yeah ever since the first trailer of the game actually you could see the tower extending far out if you observed close enough, that blew my mind after I finished the game and rewatched the trailer
@@bazingaxeno6120 I think you can even see it in game if you pay attention.
Wow, how did I never notice that before!
Ah yes. Climbing the tree as i nostalgically watch titans fighting in the background
Reminds me a lot of the Mechonis Field theme from XBC1. Slow buildup, but once it get's going, wew lad.
It does feel like the natural successor to it. Even the area in general shares a few similarities.
And in the end, Black Omen vibes.
Just like Mechanical Rhythm sucessor Still Move Forward plays here, it's amazing.
More like Mitsuda’s “Omen” from Xenogears and “Inner Space” from Xenosaga.
@@tdark987 it's the same part of the story thematically. Elysium is agneratha. Mechonis is the world tree of xbc1. Bionis is the peak of Elysium in its prime, up until the disaster happens.
It'd be an interesting idea that the reason there are so many machines and mechs is because some people became them.
In the first chapter, in the cutscene with Rex and Nia at the ship, Nia ponders if the World Tree is just an overgrown shrub.
I love the fact she's partially right. The thing we see for most of the game IS just an overgrown shrub XD
The theme of fighting tables, motorbikes, gonk droids and Bakugan.
Motorbikes 😭
This music and the backdrop of Mikhail's mecha fight is the most memorable for me in the whole game.
Just walking on that runway outside the tree looking at all the titans in one place and the fight between torna and indol with this music was just amazing.
In Xenoblade 1, I fell in love with the game all over again when I got to Mechonis Field. The sci-fi dystopia of Morytha's urban areas and the World Tree had the exact same effect on me for this game.
Yes and no. In Xeno 1 i was expecting to see a mechanicam sci fi world inside Mechonis and It was awesome... In xeno 2 i already watched my brother reached the world tree and i see It like for 5 mins AND still i was impressed by my own playtrough
Ah mechonis, you've redecorated!
I can’t believe they did a heart to heart with all the protagonists, it was super cool
With the "final battle coming soon" music behind it as well! Argh, it sent chills down my spine!!
@@saranavarro1859 i think you're thinking of the "before the storm" H2H
Cause the op was probably talking about how theres a H2H with kos mos, rex, shulk, elma and maybe pyra/mythra (i forgot)
@@areallymeanperson what does "H2H" stand for?
@@saranavarro1859 heart to heart
oh ok. Anyways, yeah I agree with you. Btw KOS-MOS is op and T-elos plz never nerf lol.
I'll never forget the impact this section of the game had on me, I had no clue of Xenoblade 1's story so Malo's Monado and Morytha was such a shock to me. And then finally making it to the world tree, only to find a series of sci-fi systems in this fun JRPG was so surreal.
The Land of Morytha is where you get suspicious but when you enter the World Tree it feels like a whole different game. Definitely one of my favourite areas from videogames in general.
Although Norse Mythology is extremely overplayed in JRPG's and games in general as of late, there is no denying that this is a freakin fantastic theme! I love this song!
I agree Norse mythology is way too prevent everywhere. Which just makes the twist that it's an elevator and it's real name being beanstalk better.
@@alexanderackerman3807
“You FOOL! You thought it was Norse Mythology, *but it was me, XENOSAGA!!!“*
funnily enough the Norse mythology is only really present in the Localization of the game! The Aegis is called the Heavenly Holy Grail and pushes a more christian theming but that's a bout it. The world tree has more Norse symbolism especially with the area names and the other beanstalks referenced in outside material. Personally i like it a bit more since it connects everything a bit more and would make sense that these scientists would reference Norse mythology because humanities hubris and whatever
@@alexanderackerman3807 technically its name is Radamanthus, Beanstalk is just a code name for convenience
I love how this is named Yggdrasil after the tree in Norse myhology.
William yggdrasil is also known as ‘the world tree’ i believe. Im pretty sure its inspired by it.
@@Big-Chungus21 Yggdrasil isn't "known" for, it *is* the World Tree. In Norse Mythology its used to travel between the 9 (or 7? Idk) worlds
Same goes for Yggdrasil in Dragon Quest XI, which’s also called The World Tree. I guess JRPG devs love their Norse mythology lol.
Etrian Odyssey uses it too, heck, the idea of a mostly fantasy game secretly taking place after our era is basically what the first game is about.
Yeah play valkyrie profile. Yggdrasil is a level on there too
This was the peak of Xenoblade Chronicles 2 for me. The reveal, the buildup, the amazing, ominous theme with the guitar and the Elysium church bell sound in the background as the cherry on top. Definitely vibin' hard right about now
Can't get enough of this field theme
*Indol has become a hostile power.*
While playing this game I was really looking for that Agniratha moment ya know? That moment when you enter the place and are just completely shocked with what’s actually there and ends up bringing more questions than answers.
This is that place and I loved it.
Yall ever think about the people who dropped this game for its fanservice and never knew whats Xenoblade 2's true colours were.
Cause this whole area was surreal in the best way possible.
You're minding your own business and listening to this hauntingly beautiful music...
until you get ganged up by motorcycles and failed Stormtrooper exprriments
I'm still in awe at the final hours of this game. I just love twist that redefine your whole understanding of it's world and Xenoblade is one of my favorite example of that.
Have you played the first game? They are both excellent at these kinds of twists
@@chuckbatmangaming Have you played the first ever Xeno game? The twists are on another level of mind-blowing/redefining literally everything
@@chuckbatmangaming bruh the whole body of Mechonis is plot twist after plot twist after plot twist
@@dugtrioramen I wish I could play xenogears but Idk how
@@lama99654 emulators. theres psx lol
I absolutely LOVE this song! It's so awesome how it starts off with the choir like you'd expect for the World Tree, but then kicks in an amazing electric guitar version of the main theme, and you realize this is completely different from what you expected it to be like the entire game, just like the World Tree itself.
Not to mention that hella groovy bass line at 1:48
going to the land of morytha and the world tree for the first time was really what solidified my love for this game
You played 50 hours without loving it? Damn
@@ChrisStoneinator he said it's what solidified his love for it, not that it made him love it
This theme gives me so much dread, everything you think you know about the world peels away the higher you climb. The further I traveled, the more hopeless I felt.
I'll never forget seeing all those titans in the same place, leading up to the top of the world tree. Might be passing Xenoblade 1 as my favorite game ever
When the guitar hits...
*beautiful*
I'm a music student and big lover of videogame music, and it's themes like these that makes the genre so fascinating and unique.
This just perfectly captures the feeling of being close to your destination, of being in the last steps of your grand adventure, but at the same time, everything is not what you were expecting and mystery surrounds, like how the party never though the World Tree would look very artificial and human-made inside. All of this, combined with the motive of the main theme, truly makes its job, and it's why this kind of music is very magical and unique in its own way.
Music and feelings like these can only be found in videogames; they opened up a new perspective for music and art in general.
I get chills at 1:19 idk why it’s just so good and so underrated
I knew it
Yes!!!!!!!!
Bro that drop is the best part! Gives me an eargasm gah!☺️
that would be the change to a major key!
@@franzstolpen894 no, it's a keychange from C minor to D minor
God when I finally made it to the world tree it no longer felt like I was playing the fantasy RPG I'd been playing for the past 70 hours, but instead, it felt more like I was playing something like Halo thanks in part to this amazing music.
the bass is so amazing
That’s how you know it’s Mitsuda.
literally one of the best ost's ever. Like damn.
This is the Mechonis Field of XC2
Man, Mitsuda never skimps out on composing awesome basslines. I could listen to 1:49 - 2:15 all day.
Giving me Mechonis field vibes.
one of the best final level themes of all time
I had no idea what to expect of / on top of the World Tree. When I started the game, I didn't know that technology would play an important role and didn’t question the existence of blades. I was absolutely blown away by how it all unfolded and sat with my mouth open when chapter 10 began. I don't think any game has ever surprised me that much.
ah yes, the "surprise! it was a sci-fi setting all along!" song. I love it. Also, I can't believe it took me four years to notice that the beginning of it is the same as the Elysium theme.
Best final stage level in Xenoblade.
Has every single element of what makes a god-tier OST. Choir + Gorgeous melodic electric guitar + The somber and atmospheric strings.
It's like a reminiscence of the 20th anniversary version of "Bares Fangs at God".
If they ever build a space elevator this should be required to play the entire way up.
The World Tree reminds me, in appearence, a lot of Mechonis Field, both feel out of place in this fantasy setting we got up to this point, and i love it
I suspect Shulk and his group were traversing through the Mechonis at exactly the same time.
At the very least probably approaching Mechonis Core.
1:22 That bassline made it a 10
We makin it outa Yggdrasil with this one 🔥🔥❗❗
I am getting heavy Tower of Salvation vibes from this. Both in theme and design. The cross of fantasy into Sci-fi, the ethereal sense of a man made majestic presence combined with those sweet guitar rifts and techno sounds makes for such a moving theme.
Minor spoilers
It's a cool idea that you fall down to the lands below the cloud sea, and you spend the final few chapters climbing all the way up to space.
Then you realize that all of the climbing was done by riding elevators...
The composer: You know the main theme? Here's some of that. You remember the guitars from the battle themes? Take some of those.
* One thorough wang jangling later *
Here's your final area song!
And I love it.
Tfw you get to Morytha and the World Tree and the game suddenly remembers that it's a sequel to Xenoblade Chronicles 1.
No but seriously, this part of the game really felt like I was making my way through the ruined world of Mechonis again. The different direction this game took is great and all, but having that XC1-esque vibe wash over me again was absolutely wonderful.
Not to mention when the plot also remembers in the chapter 10 opening
@Xenomaniac I've never played Xenosaga. In my mind Xenoblade Chronicles is not the same series as Xenosaga. Xenoblade Chronicles 1 was the standard that was set for the series and 2 strayed from it.
@nitram86062 play gears and realize that the references run deeper in xc1 than you know
World Tree More like World Beats
Dinkleburg
I always dig music like this for final areas in an RPG, it's so solemn, especially with the guitar. Makes you think about all you've been through, all you've come to learn, and the melancholy of realizing the journey is coming to an end.
Xenoblade Dragon Quest 11
🤝
Having a tree named Yggdrasil
CalligatorHD yeah Norse mythology dude
Both JRPGs released in 2017 as well.
What does Yggdrasil mean in mythology anyway? I'm curious.
And then there’s the Qliphoth
@@saranavarro1859 it's the world tree in Norse mythology, a huge tree at the center of the worlds wich also was like a link between them
It's an opera soft metal sexy jazz elevator song? Why is this awesome?
This and the Cliffs of Morytha are my favourite dungeon themes in this game..
Somehow they remind me A LOT of Mechonis Field theme from XC1 and seeing thats my favourite dungeon theme from that game thats not a bad thing..
But lets be honest:
The complete soundtrack for both games are simply legendary.
The weeping guitar is great gets me in the feels every time
I don't know how to put into words what I felt traveling in the world tree for my first time. It is such an awesome feeling in so many ways, your beliefs of what it is were completely shifted upon entering the place, the song is amazing and probably my personal favorite of the whole OST, everything you see makes sense in the world that you are in and my GOD the titan battle looks great. There's so much to say about just this one area alone, it has become one of the best moments when it comes to gaming in general for me and I don't know if I would have wanted it any other way.
This theme seriously captures the feeling of exploring the unknown. The promised land said to end the strive for land and resources. Pneuma's and Malos' birthplace. Elysium. Everything is mysterious and dangerous. The deeper you go, the more questions you have.
1:18 And then the drums kick in. And you know that the only way to find the answer is to keep going.
Upon hearing the theme you knew this was the end game. But when that guitar rift came in, you knew this was going to end in a bombastic fashion
I am *a s c e n d i n g* to this damn choir
Definitely in my top 5 (maybe top 3) final area themes ever
Bro! I freaking love this song!!! Ahhhhhhhh! They were at the studio killing it! They set the studio on fire with this song!
might be my favorite overworld theme in the game
One of the best chapters in any jrpg EVER!!
Spoiler for XC1
Getting to visit this tower station we saw at the end of xenoblade 1 but never knew anything about was kinda cool ngl.
I find it weird when listening to the early game songs and then listening to this song.
If its goal was to feel otherworldly, then it succeeded by a long shot.
It’s so nice to hear this amazing song without the tinnitus tone in the background.
This song is simultaneously one of the most funky and most beautiful songs in the game
1:20 when that soft guitar, choir, and stings hits just right
When you're just trying to explore the area then 3 gundams and 1 unique enemy gundam starts running after you. (For those curious were to find 4 of these in one place, go to the landmark Lv. 3 Alioth on Mid Level. Enjoy running away if you’re underleveled)
HOW HAVE I NEVER NOTICED THIS WAS A XENOGEARS REFERENCE
it was at this point the game truly became a xeno game
i love the blend of synths and instruments in this track
leaving the surreal feeling that the world tree indeed is just a mechanical tower i was so immersed when i got to this part
i was in awe and couldnt believe what reality was
the land we been roaming above the sea if clouds... while elysium was just a mechanical oasis of the land of morytha what earth used to be
This song has officially become my designated Xenoblade Chronicles hype song!😊
The whole game, i was just eager to get to the world tree and see elysium for myself, hoping that it would be lush paradise.
When i got there, to the world tree, i thought, no this can't be it.
And then i finally got to elysium...
I think that scene with Rex's doubts resonate with me more than it normally would.
I spent dozens upon dozens of hours on this quest and for what? For nothing?
The ties to XC1 made it all worth it! The OST in this act of the game is wonderful too.
This is literaly the song that got me into this game more than i already had
That guitar lick is probably considered a war crime under the Geneva convention
Gosh the way this makes me feel so vulnerable in my heart and soul and just cleanses my soul. XC2 OST my favorite of all time for this exact reason
The guitar solo is cool and all but godamn i cannot get enough of these vocals
Im really glad they took The World Tree idea and just flipped it on its head. Very glad this is where they went with it.
This is my favorite theme in this game.
Fuck man, every time I hear this song I cry, because it's so beautiful and emotional.
I love The Ghibli vibes this OST has.
It feels so rooted in the 90's much like the Xeno series in general while also taking bold steps forward
