I arrived in the kingdom at night, so making my way up i had the chill night music, then once i got out and this kicked in i thought it was perfectly suited.
It feels so badass... I mean, youre inside a giant cold blooded turtle It has a eternal winter and an avanced and stoic civilization in its guts... Its just the perfect theme
I hate that I didn't appreciate this song the first time around. The entirety of the Xenoblade Chronicles 2 soundtrack is stellar and it took me TH-cam listening to really understand that.
I feel the same way about a lot of video game music honestly. I tend to get too invested in what's happening on screen to fully appreciate the soundtrack behind it, so I often go to TH-cam to listen to songs I didn't fully pay attention to. XC2's soundtrack has so many great songs that it's easy to miss one in game and come back to it here and realize how amazing it sounds.
I have a friend who told me getting down would be like a hell, but I actually really enjoyed getting there, maybe because the music and that I love snow levels XD
Ohh no... I am now imagining a giant Zeke singing this in the horizon, and then various zekes comes and make every instrument been a different zeke with music edition
Now that I've seen the entire Xenoblade saga for myself I can confidently proclaim Xenoblade 2 to be the greatest soundtrack in the series, but ESPECIALLY the overworld themes my GOD Xenoblade 3 had some nice ones, and XC1 still some all-time classics, but they can't hold a candle to the sheer weight XC2's themes give to their respective locations
@@jalalal8056 3 has an insane ost like with all the xenoblade games but the area themes in 2 do be bobbing a bit harder and fit the athosmphere so well at the same time it is something magical ( 2 has my personal faforite ost as well it gives me feels every time)
You can really hear the struggle of the people in this harsh land through the chants and tone of the instruments. The most unique snow theme I've ever heard.
This track is unbelievable. The more I play of this game years later, hearing these songs again, I realize how incredible this game is. It looks, plays, and sounds better than switch games coming out now and due out next year.
This theme manages to hit in multiple ways. It evokes wonder when you first arrive then at the halfway point it evokes the tension of the situation you are in then after the boss fight it feels completely hopeless and melancholic despite the track being exactly the same at all 3 stages, I do not for the life of me understand how they composed something so goddamn cool.
Pure adrenaline while you run through a gauntlet of pillars filled to the brim with more and more powerful enemies as you progress towards the Omega Fetter. Really fits the mood of a race against time to stop a sinking continent.
@@maryo8039 I was just curious. Usually from what I can tell Xenoblade 2 is the least popular one, also I’d think it be funny if you thought “Shit game actually, but the OST is peak.”
I was on a trip in the Philippines when I got to Tantal. I remember my nephews and cousins were watching me trying to find my way below those ruins. One cousin even gave me a good laugh with her reaction to Pyra's outfit, she was like "wtf is she wearing, isn't she cold???"
Man this song has been stuck in my head all day, i knew it was from xc2 but forgot the name of the area since i haven’t played it in a couple years. Then i thought, snowy area… Tantal! that’s it! Such a good track, one of my favorites from the game for sure. Underrated af.
I played FE3H first and loved the music, then played XC2 and certain songs kinda tripped me up. If you ever played Persona 5, you probably know the song Willpower. Song of Giga Rosa has a part that sounds way too similar to be a coincidence. It threw me for a loop
I love the night version of this song, it's so cozy it makes me forget that I'm wandering aimlessly for hours trying to look for that Omega Fettuccini thingie!
The promo shots of Tantal were what got me hyped for XC2, because a) the ruins' architecture was incredible and vast and b) I was fresh off the heels getting gobsmacked by Valak Mountain at night. Needless to say, this track cemented my expectations.
I don’t think this qualifies as spoilers for XC3 since the trailer shows the stuff I’m gonna talk about. Tantal has the same chorus as Everblight plain in XC3? Coincidence? Maybe. But Uraya had the same chorus motif, so MAYBE Tantal is in XC3, just never explicitly mentioned. The area does have some stupid bridge placements… something Tantal did a lot of. Food for thought.
@@zaos7321 I honestly don't know why I said it anyway, because it isn't fully true. It's not my favourite RPG ever (Live A Live and Mother 3 come out higher), but it's my third favourite game of all time. The only other games that rank higher are the two I just mentioned, both JRPGs haha.
Other snow themes: Yay! Happy! Christmas! Snow Day! Let’s have fun and make snow angels! Tantal theme: We’re thankful for today and pray for tomorrow. We don’t know how much longer we can last in this deadly blizzard, but we do know one thing: We. Will. Not. Surrender.

I love Tantal day and night so much and can't tell which one I love more. The two songs as well as Counterattack are just my favourite songs from the basegame and just embody the experience for me. It makes you feel like you're in a barren winter wonderland, with day making you feel like you're drowning in a cascade of snow trying to make it through without freezing to death, while the night theme makes you feel like a tranquil, chilly night with a slight looming uneasiness in the background to remind you this winter wonderland isn't all beauty and elegance. As you can probably see, I like the music in this game way too much.
in any game this might be a boss dungeon theme, but this isnt just any game, zeke is just visiting his dad
tantal and mor ardain have a couple things in common:
1. they're both wastelands
2. their day themes are god damn vibin'
And the party member from there are Royalty who are initially your enemies.

But who wouldn't want to study such Sword as Monado??

Aww, me too!
Lmao 10 seconds of it, which I'm still bummed out about because this is my favorite theme in the whole game.
literally the best snow area theme to exist and nobody can convince me otherwise.
I actually hated it. This theme deserved its own spot on the music list

Same here... But with Mor Ardrain instead, so imagine😂😂
Same, I spent hours just grinding then the day came and this song hit. Epic is an understatement
And then when it's about to turn night I immediately change it to the start of the day
I arrived to Tantal during a blizzard and this song fit my traversal to Theosoir perfectly.
Same. This and the night theme are tied in my mind. The night theme is so chill, yet still so tense.
The part starting at 1:30 is just pure bliss, my favorite part of the song. Really gives you that feeling of adventure.
I like 0:00 - 5:33

ITS SO GOOD
Dat bass drop
It feels so badass... I mean, youre inside a giant cold blooded turtle It has a eternal winter and an avanced and stoic civilization in its guts... Its just the perfect theme
Holy crap... They actually made an overworld theme better than Valak Mountain...
IMO Valak Mountain's day theme was meh.
It's night theme on the other hand.
To me, the day theme is one of the most beautiful songs in the game, while the night theme isn't anywhere near the day theme.
I know... I'm weird.
I feel like everyone forgets that XCX has the Sylvalum night theme...
In my defense, I haven't played X yet, nor do I want to spoil the soundtrack for myself.
That's fair
Pretty awesome seeing a lot of locations from here return in the Cent-Omnia Region
OH REALLY !!??
this is the snow area theme of all time
standing still in Tantal is about half of my play time
1:29 bass drop is my favorite part of this song. So good!
It sends chills down my spine. Just like in winter :)

I remember when I got to the area I kept humming the song and didn't notice I kept humming the song until after I finished playing that day.
60 hours into this game, on chapter 7, and I thoroughly enjoy it more than its predecessor.
1:30 This part sounds like an insane battle theme, but it's just casually exploring a snowy land xD
And the normal battle theme sounds like a boss theme.
and if fits too despite that all due to the whole mood going on when you first hear it play
Xenoblade 2 overworld themes are just a completely different vibe
On a whole other level
One of the best ice area music ever. Especially love when the bass drops at 3:36.
