Best Gaming-OST quality-wise. You can't change my mind. OST that might come close: The Legend of Zelda - Final Fantasy - Persona - Fire Emblem - Donkey Kong Franchise - Kingdom Hearts. And some of these just come that close because of the sheer amount of games. If I had to specify the soundtracks ranked by Xenoblade games I had to say... Probably XC1 > XC3 > XC2 > XCX - and even XCX has an amazing soundtrack.
This medley was part of the reason I bought, played AND finished FFXV and I actually had a lot of fun (it's objectively not an amazing game but I still loved it) Thanks!
As someone who listens to these looped while writing case analysis papers, it is absolutely criminal that these don't have more views. Please for the love of god make more because I desperately need them to complete my homework.
I get goosebumps everytime I hear the certain Xenoblade OSTs. I can't even connect all of them to specific cutscenes or moments, but my brain recognizes „Didn't I feel really strong emotions last time I heard this?“ and just reacts xD
1:45 honestly, I think desolation is worse. All the instruments in walking with you obviously make it beautiful, but they also make it more solemn, meanwhile desolation is just a piano most of the time, the lack of instruments and choires make it feel more intimate, like the loss you just witnessed hit yourself personally. But of course, they are both some of the saddest themes ever
