This song: *plays* Me: 😍 IGN’s review: “the swamp area in this game is creepy” Me: 😐

It's good to see that after all these years, he's still a tuna.

This was my first time playing and it blew me away when night arrived. The way the trees start to glow blue just before daylight fades out, and the grey foggy marshlands totally transform as the aura and colours of the night fade in alongside this gorgeous music.... man. I stopped playing for a minute just to look around and soak in the atmosphere.

Got this game because I heard it was good, but I never knew I would be experiencing such a masterpiece. The battle system is fun, the characters are memorable, the backgrounds are beautifully crafted, and the music fills me with so much emotion, especially this one. Sometimes I walk through Satorl Marsh JUST for this music.

The best thing about DE is comment sections like this, where we can read all the stories of new faces being mesmerised by these locations and these songs. It's so lovely to see the popularity growing.

They’ve absolutely nailed this. I didn’t think they could improve on perfection.

"See Shulk? This is why I'm telling you to get out of the lab now and then!"

Ive been playing the Definitive Edition, never played Xenoblade 1 on wii, and I really feel like im gonna enjoy the experience. This song in particular caught me off guard and hit me in the feels. Reminds me of the Melancholia you get when playing NIER. Truly wonderful.

Iste natura... Iste terra... Iste mare... Essa... (This nature... this land... this sea... eaten/consumed...)

I cried to this all night when my dog Midnight died. I tried playing the game to keep my mind off of her, but the music got to me and I just kept Shulk in one place as I sobbed... RIP Midnight.

Ever since someone said "he's still a tuna" I couldn't unhear it.

I’ve never been so mystified by a jrpg before like this. i’m having so much fun and already have shed a few tears so far; the ost and the voice acting are absolutely top notch. It’s my first time playing and i already feel bummed for not getting the game back when it was on the Wii

Swamps in real life: Sorta Gross Swamps in Xenoblade: Places of beauty, tranquility, and majesty with perfectly matching soundtracks

I have played only Xenoblade 2, was so touched by the soundtrack, and thought "how could its predecessor be better than the sequel." When this track kicked in, a couple minutes later I was in tears...

If you played Xenoblade Chronicles up to this point and it didn't manage to impress you yet, when THIS theme kicks in + the visuals right before your eyes...... .....you WILL be impressed, you're not having any other choice anymore!

So, I was walking through Satorl Marsh just yesterday. Somehow I managed to be in daytime everytime I went through that place. I even thpught I alredy had been there on nightime. And just at the same time I'm going to another place in the Marsh, nightime comes. First thing I thought "Oh, ok. This is a beautiful place on maybe the ugliest place". And then I turn myself, on top of a cliff, just to see *all the marsh* covered in those magical lights. Climax of the song comes in (1:25) I just stood there all night, mouth open. I never thought this game could impress me that much.

As I look upon the stars tonight, I feel so happy that this game is here, and I feel hope among the current strife in the world. Thank you Monolith for this game. I love it. And I hope all of you have a good one.

when I first heard this song I thought the vocals kind of sounded like Fiora. Made me think she was watching over us on our journey. It was beautiful

Ironically I’d heard this many times before out of context. There’s a Nintendo song compilation that I’d use to study in college. Shoutouts to Luigi because I probably wouldn’t have graduated. Now a 2019 graduate, I’m playing Xenoblade for the first time ever & I just found the marsh about 2 days ago. Like those who have been there before me, I was completely stunned. The visuals, the trees, the terrifyingly strong monsters that appeared out of nowhere. And then the nostalgia that kicked in from me actually realizing that this is THAT song. It all hit me at once, and I just had to put the controller down for a second.

'Where are we now? The ass?' "Well, actually...yes?'

Life goal: watch the northern lights while listening to this track

I stopped myself from listening to the remastered version of this song until I could actually play the game for myself, and today I made it to Satorl Marsh for the first time in the definitive edition. I am so glad I did that because I walked into the marsh and I literally felt my breath being taken away in awe and a few tears pricking at my eyes. This is probably my favourite video game area and song ever

Honestly, satorl marsh at night was perhaps my most favorite moment from the game honestly. Getting Dunban a few moments ago, the sights and most importantly, the music

Satorl Marsh at night looks even more beautiful in HD. This remaster of Satorl Marsh night is really good. I can't decide whether I like this version of the track more or the original track. Both are equally majestic and really enjoyable to listen to.

ほんとにこのゲーム買ってよかったわ

i like how it changes from a junky day theme to this fucking winter wonterland shit at night holy fk

Had never played this game before. This music, and the beautiful visuals of the trees absolutely blew my mind. I can’t believe I overlooked this masterpiece

"He's in a tuna..." Satorl Marsh is Uraya confirmed lol.

This song is absolutely beautiful. It hits me even harder than Dire Dire Docks. I’ve been wondering what about this song makes me so emotional, and I think I have some idea. The leitmotif of this song (for music nerds, the Bb-F-Eb-F-x, where x is Ab initially) appears all throughout the song, but with many different variations. It starts with small variations, then repeats them. As the first verse is repeated, there is a small change in instrumentation towards the end as the strings enter in, as if something is about to change. As you enter the bridge, you can feel the tone of the leitmotif completely change (as the Bb minor becomes a Db major, and the oboe even arpeggiates Db maj7, a hint of what’s to come), creating a sense of suspense and wonder. The song continues to build up more suspense, repeats the new variation one more time (with a twist at the end: an accidental F major chord, with the melody running down from C to A) before entering the chorus. We expect the song at this point to return to Bb minor (as this would be a standard V-i resolution in Bb minor), but the song instead moves to Gb major as the melody reaches its peak register and volume. The major 7th chords come out in full force. After some beautiful ascending lines in the melody, we’re back to Bb minor. Alright, we’re gonna finally hear the original leitmotif in Bb minor again! Except no, because the leitmotif goes into an all-out Db maj9. I always get chills at this part, as it sounds so magnificent and is the fullest harmony in the entire piece (that Db in the strings is *scrumptious* right after the leitmotif at 1:39-1:42). Then, the harmony slowly settles back down into Bb minor, and we enter the “he’s still a tuna” part, which is mostly an echo of the first verse with vocals rather than the oboe. Why does this work so well? I think the instrumentation is part of it. The piano ostinato against the oboe and vocals at the beginning is simply beautiful. They join together later on during the bridge, with the oboe giving some additional counter-melody, which provides more harmony and melodic complexity as the song builds. Additionally, the dynamics in this song are simply incredible. From the light and delicate beginning, slowly escalating to the brilliant and marvelous chorus, then slowing back to the light and delicate beginning… It tells a story of growing up, going on a life-changing journey, and then finally coming home to rest after a life well lived. Another reason this song always tugs my heartstrings is the chord progression. The song subverts your expectations in the best possible way. The leitmotif makes perfect use of this as well, as the Bb-F-Eb-F-x line makes you wonder what the x will be as more variations are introduced. There’s enough similarity to keep it familiar and comfortable, but enough variation to keep you curious and awestruck. The song evokes a sense of being awed by the world around you, as if it’s telling you to appreciate this moment in time in all its beauty. “Whatever you’re going through right now, take a moment to really look around you and see just how beautiful it is to be alive. There’s wonder all around you, if you aren’t afraid to go out of your comfort zone to find it. And when you do find it, you can always come back here to rest.” That’s what this song makes me feel. And it makes me cry. Not because it’s sad, but because it’s just so beautiful. Even years later, after hearing this song countless times, it still makes me cry. Taking this song in the context of the part of Xenoblade where it first happens makes it hit even harder, as it marks a checkpoint in the party’s life-changing journey, and the sense of wonder in the song parallels the sense of wonder as you look upon the flying lights in the marsh at night. It’s the perfect visual and thematic backdrop for such an incredible song.

10/10 masterpiece! When the trees start to glow, you are transported to another realm. Long live Xenoblade, the GOAT

First kingdom of uraya, then kingdom of torna, after that the world tree...and now satorl marsh in both the Wii version and definitive edition...the most beautiful soundtracks that I’ve heard in my entire life...truly a masterpieces...I want to cry...😭😭

The Bionis literally has swampass.

who would have thought the poison swamp area would be the most relaxing and the most beautiful in the game

Everybody out here talking about him being a tuna, meanwhile I'm sitting here vibing to _" 🎶~Tasty Orluga~🎶"_

I entered Satorl for the first time of me playing blind at night... *oh my god.*

I played this in the summer of 2020 and this is bringing back all the feels for me. Running around with Shulk and the gang, exploring Bionis and experiencing the gripping narrative. Truly a beautiful game in every way. It has a captivating quality that no other piece of media has had for me. I feel so immersed in the world thanks mostly to the beautiful compositions such as this one. The exploration and epic moments got me interested in the Xeno series, but the goregous and engrossing music which enhanced the slow and somber moments in the journey made me a lifelong fan.

A tear came to my eye while exploring this area and listening to this

I could listen to this piece of music for hours. Laying on my back, looking at the night sky.

2:02 “He is still a tuna” greatest Xenoblade lyrics ever, I almost cried

First time playing xenoblade never imagined a soundtrack like this one. 10/10

How can one area have 2 amazing tracks in such different ways holy fuck

Xenoblade Chronicles is unparallel when it comes to their worldbuilding. The soundtrack just amplifies it even more.

This is one of that rare time in which music and place are joint perfectly and create an incomparable atmosphere

When I first got into Satorl Marsh, the place looked uninteresting. And then the night arrived...

Coming from someone who played Xenoblade Chronicles 2 a few years ago and only just recently played this game for the first time, this place at night reminds me so much of Uraya, the music and the sights is so damn beautiful, I love just walking around and just taking it all in

Everything about this version is perfection

I never played the game but I come here repeatedly to appreciate the song.

currently playing this game the first time (chapter 13 atm) and I love this song so much, coming back to it almost every day

Nostalgia, such a weird bittersweet feeling

2:02: "He's still a Tuna...." "He's still Tuna..." "He's still a Ray..." "LETS GOOOOOOO..."

This is one of the few pieces of music that hits me right in my soul and immediately puts me on the verge of tears. the gradual buildup to 3:17 never ever gets old.

I love this unconditionally

OH WOW THIS MUSIC SO FUCKING BRILLIANT

It may not be as iconic as gaur plains but satoral marsh at night is one of the prettiest things in video games I’ve ever seen

Just finished the whole game, gonna do that future connected chapter now, I cannot actually describe how good it was to spend every minutes playing this masterpiece, and I’m pretty looking forward to more xenoblade in the future really.. that was just fantastic

I love this game I love this game I love this game Have i said that i love this game?

still probably one of the most breath taking night zones in the game

This is way too satisfying and relaxing to listen to. Holy cow.

I’m now playing this game for the first time. I’ve been loving it and now I’m currently up to the Satorl Marsh section and the moment it hit night time with how the trees looked with all the bright blues and the music 😐 I put my controller down to just take in the music and a few minutes later here I am

This song makes me want to turn into a tuna...

Even in HD, he is still a tuna.

This music is so beautiful, I was so hyped to reach satorl march to hear the remastered version and oh boy I was not disappointed

one of my fondest gaming memories ever, was finding what seemed to be a boring foggy marsh ... then my mind being blown once it turned to night. no other game with a day/night cycle had ever done this before, and it filled me with awe.

everybode on this comment section is the fuckin' coolest dude ever. love you all

A lot of people in the comments are talking about how much they love this song and how magical this place and the game was, but I’m here thinking about how similar the opening beat is to the blue obstacle course theme in a hat in time lmao

Man i was dreading this area when i got here during the day. Just a lame swamp i thought. Then night came and this became one of my favorite areas in the game probably only second to makna forest.

Les marais de Satorl est un endroit magique. La premiere fois qu'on y entre se passe bien souvent de jour avec une musique déja agréable masi un environnement plutot triste et dans lequel bouger est une purge. Des ennemis convenables malgré quelques named plutot enquiquinants (surtout ceux qui volent) et une zone facile à visiter qui n'a pas trop d'embranchements differents. Et quand la nuit tombe ... c'est la magie qui opere : le marais se pare de couleurs magnifiques grace à l'ether qui s'en dégage, l'ost donne des frissons avec ses vocalises somptueuses et une partie des monstres prennent un lvl bien superieur à ce que l'on y rencontre habituellement sans pour autant être forcément agressifs. Un moment incroyable à vivre (et à y farmer) qui est et restera le plus enchanteur du jeu à mes yeux.

Shoutout to great cotte falls ost for using this in there

First time I played Xenoblade Chronicles; I was in love with the gameplay and music. First time in Satorl Marsh, I've yet to finish the game because I've never left this area. It's just so beautiful; I don't want to leave behind the serenity that is this piece! Yes, there is a slight undertone of sadness considering the in-game lore behind the Satorl Marsh, but that makes it all the more beautiful and ethereal. Even if you took this song without that context, this piece continues to be chillingly beautiful.

Perfection

Just got to Satorl Marsh like half an hour ago and inmediately looked this up. It's so beautiful my jaw literally dropped

Good to see he’s still feeling it after all these years 😢😢😢😢

The feels... Played this back in 2011 when my mother was still alive. A lot of bad shit happens since but i really enjoy replaying this wonderful game and this classic tune.

One of my favorite game soundtracks of all time.

Seeing the trees light up for the first time at night, wow. One of the most gorgeous areas I've ever seen in a game. And this music fits it perfectly!

Omg! Playing this masterpiece for the first time on the switch. Love this piece of perfect music right here. The soundtrack for this game is amazing. Japanese RPG’s and their music, man. This game is a vibe. Glad this game got remastered for the switch. Thanks to everyone that worked on this game. Truly amazing.

This and night time valak mountain were just completely game changing experiences. Both just feel so different from their daytime counterparts and are just so mystical.

I'm just about to leave this area and I have to say I loved my time in it.

Gives me the same vibes as the Uraya theme

This area of the game is absolute perfection. Walking into Satorl Marsh during the night for the first time made my jaw drop strait through the floor. It's so beautiful and I got lost exploring it for hours

This is so similar to clock towers beneath the sea (a hat in time).

probably my fav videogame song of all time

Don’t let this amazing music distract you. I just spent 3 hours collecting 3 forget-you-nots. As much as they fixed everything, they still didn’t fix the collectipedia

satorl marsh is the one area to get my true respect in xenoblade. I'm yet to play de due to situation, but holy shit satorl. I remember every moment of it, every quest every enemy every death, evey discovery. every moment spent in satorl was a moment for my eyes to be truly calm, my ears to be light, and my everything to just be right. satorl marsh at night is the most beautiful place in any game, without a shadow of a doubt in my mind. bloody hell I need to get to DE soon

The best soundtrack ever made.

it took me until now to realize I've been mistaking the name the whole time, I've always been calling it Satori Marsh w/ an i

Man 10 years later still makes me want to cry

Really reminds me of Clocktowers Beneath The Sea from A Hat in Time

Beautiful.

Top 3 best game soudtrack ever. Top 5 best RPG game. Masterpiece

This song and area is extremely comforting, I should get back to xenoblade after the long break I had from it

the first time the marsh turned to night i let out an audible gasp. what a beautiful area. what a beautiful track.

this is actually perfect

Never played xenoblade but this makes me rlly want to

I prefer the choir in the original version but the instrumentation on the DE The ost didn't needed a remaster. But the remaster is excellent !!

My favorite area in the game, and for a damn good reason.

There’s something about listening to this track as you walk through Satorl Marsh at night. *possible spoilers below* Especially after viewing the heart to heart between Shulk and Dunban, there’s something about this track that makes it seem like Satorl Marsh’s beauty isn’t eternal. That someday the trees with lose their glow and that the landscape will go to ruin...

It had turned night for the first time This masterpiece of a song played and I was mesmerized by this place at night Fuck, this game is beautiful, downright GORGEOUS

I'm happy that it's remastered
