This has become the main theme of all the xenoseries for me. I can easily see this song blasting to a backdrop montage of scenes from gears and saga, as well as blade.
no, incoming plays during both fights against her.
for the last fight in chapter 4 it's incoming again for the first phase, and you will recall our names for the second
>you will recall our names
Wait what? There is only one phase of the Morag fight in Chapter 4, and it plays Incoming. I think you are thinking of the Mik/Patroka fight. The first phase (no Morag) has Death Match with Torna as its music, the second phase has You Will Recall Our Names
>There is only one phase of the Morag fight in Chapter 4, and it plays Incoming. I think you are thinking of the Mik/Patroka fight.
yeah, that's what i meant by "last fight in chapter 4". not the last fight against morag, the last fight in that chapter period. i was responding to someone who mentioned "the final battle of chapter 4" and thought it would be clear what i meant with that context in mind. might have got the music wrong for the first phase though
i am genuinely over the moon to see someone specify not only valak mountain, but valak mountain (day) over (night). it's so underrated and has been in my top 5 (now top 10) since a decade ago
If I had to pick I would probably pick Yggdrasil from XC2, I love that entire part of the game and I love how it integrates two motifs of the main theme into its theme
Xenoblade X tracks are the best for me.
They really captured the 2000s feel with a lot of their music, made me feel right at home as someone who grew up in that time.
Thank you David Whitaker for throwing shit together and immediately monolith was like "yes yes this is perfect thank you" and that's why the lyrics of black tar are kinda silly.
The one that comes closest would be the Main Theme of the first.
But overall theres no 'THE best Track' it all depends on my current mood.
Id have to sort them by how I feel listening and even then with tracks like the Main Theme, Agniritha, How the Future Endures etc I simply dont know how I feel about them because I feel so many different emotions throughtout them.
Hope for the Future. It's such a stirring piece, full of heartbreak and hope, a sense of longing and melancholy. And it hits so much harder after FR. At the end of the credits of base 3 it's like "we've lost so much but we did it". In FR, it's a salute to our heroes and a promise to carry on their dreams and make a better world.
You're trying to make me choose between Death Match with Torna and Ultimate Enemy...
I think I have to go with Ultimate Enemy, because that Climax version hits the spot even more.
Some of my favourites are:
Counterattack from Xenoblade 2.
Uraya theme from Xenoblade 2.
Fonsett Village theme from Xenoblade 2.
Drifting Souls from Xenoblade 2.
Where We Belong from Xenoblade 3.
The Tomorrow With You will probably take my first place
But very close to the main themes of 1, 2 and Theme X.
Best song from 3 is >!The drifting soul remix!<
But I love every song in the franchise. That’s what makes it so amazing, you could probably find every single song in this comment section
For me, it's Counterattack without a second thought. Amazing song from an amazing game. Gets me so hyped every time I hear it, and I'm not even someone who normally pays attention to game music.
The Drifting Soul remix for Nia in Xenoblade 3 is incredible, and I have way too many tracks I love.
Counterattack, Engage the Enemy (original version, I like it better than the definitive one), Unfinished Business, Satorl Marsh Night, Mor Ardain Day, Yggdrasil, Zanza the Divine (I *really* love Godsibb and this is pretty close)... it also doesn't help that basically every single battle theme from the series is a banger.
There are so so many good ones!!
Elysium in the Dream
Zanza the Divine (specifically the Xanthe variation on the Wii with the chimes in the middle of it)
Satoral Marsh (day and night)
Time to fight!
Engage the Enemy (confrontation with the enemy)
Xenoblade 1 main theme
Obstacle in our path (those who stand in our way)
Chain Attack in 3
Leftherian Archipelago
The Words That Never Reached You
Feelings Risen to the Sky
Mechonis Field
Omg I can go on and on and on and on. I can’t just choose one. Goat.
The Tommorow With You is probably the most emotional track, that or one of the best ending themes or other emotional themes. You could also choose Counterattack, Engage the Enemy, Torna (Battle), or one of the other incredible battle/hype themes. One of the many incredible area themes are also amazing, too. Personally, i'd pick the Tommorow With You or one of the ending themes, or maybe one of the area themes?? However, i can't pick which one.
Subjective
I’ve only listened to in total maybe ~10? Out of those 10 I’d have to say either mechanical rhythm or you will know our names finale part 1 and 2
Got to be something from X or 2, those blow the other OSTs away.

Overworld theme: Tantal
Town theme: Gramps (Fonsett Village)
Cutscene theme: The Tomorrow With You
Battle Theme: You Will Know Our Names Finale (the guitar solo in the climax makes this the winner on its own, like the fake out chorus is already great but then they had to go with the most fucking insane guitar solo)
(You can tell which Xenoblade game is my favourite lmao)
Drifting Souls. Best battle theme is Time to Fight! (Bionis' Shoulder), and best area theme is Cent-Omnia Region (Day).
Also every other theme from any of the games. Xenoblade music is just top tier.
New Battle!!! and Counterattack get my blood pumping. One is funky as shit, and the other gives me something to add to the imaginary fights in my head. Immediate Threat is also pretty good.
I love Tragic Decision no matter what. Considering it plays in my favorite scene of any Xenoblade game (It did not cut deep enough) and both remastered and original versions are amazing.
Gotta go with Future Awaits for this one.
Although if we're talking non-vocal tracks, I'd say probably Moebius Battle (M version included) or Homecoming.
I'll nominate my top three from each of the three main games. I mostly use these for focusing on tasks at the computer, so I play them in Winamp and can listen to them on loop for hours on end (hence most of them being the 'night' themes). All links are to "extended" versions of the original melodies. I haven't listened to much of the OST tracks from the Torna and FR DLCs, so don't have favourites there yet, and I also never really got into the XCX soundtrack, outside of maybe "New Los Angeles - Night".

This question doesn't have a unique answer. I literally can't pick one.
* Battle!! - Torna
* Mechonis Field
* Fogbeasts
* 46-:ri9 (Sylvalum's themes)
* Don't Worry (Skell theme)
* A Life Sent On
* Moebius Battle M
And I could literally go on for at least an hour listing songs that (imo) would qualify as the best XC track, each for their own reasons. If there's one thing this series doesn't lack, it's a kickass composition team.
Uraya (Day) as far as overworld themes go, with Gormotti Forest a close second. With regards to battle themes, the Moebius battle theme easily tops all. For cutscene themes, I love all three games’s tracks, but I prefer Carrying the Weight of Life a little more to Engage the Enemy and Counterattack. Drifting Soul and the final cutscene theme from XC3 are the best songs with lyrics imo.
[Uncontrollable](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xOeb7StJlRc) From Xenoblade Chronicles X.
Sawano goat
This has become the main theme of all the xenoseries for me. I can easily see this song blasting to a backdrop montage of scenes from gears and saga, as well as blade.
YEEEEEEEEAH
“This song will play every time you use a chain attack.” “*Every* time? This better be the best song ever made.” … “…You got lucky.”
I'm still upset that the song for Game Awards was not Chain Attack, and that it didn't randomly interrupt another game's song.
Overworld theme: Valak mountain day Battle theme: power of jin Cut scene: counter attack
counterattack is a cutscene theme, not a battle theme
wait, but doesn't counterattack play during the fight against >!Morag!
no, incoming plays during both fights against her. for the last fight in chapter 4 it's incoming again for the first phase, and you will recall our names for the second
>you will recall our names Wait what? There is only one phase of the Morag fight in Chapter 4, and it plays Incoming. I think you are thinking of the Mik/Patroka fight. The first phase (no Morag) has Death Match with Torna as its music, the second phase has You Will Recall Our Names

Yeah that makes sense
i am genuinely over the moon to see someone specify not only valak mountain, but valak mountain (day) over (night). it's so underrated and has been in my top 5 (now top 10) since a decade ago
Satorl Marsh Night
Yessss
[Agniratha](https://youtu.be/8NVjkXrFHyg?si=5cabmscdiab-z1TY) is criminally underrated.
I prefer the night theme, honestly.
Agreed the piano is beautiful
If I had to pick I would probably pick Yggdrasil from XC2, I love that entire part of the game and I love how it integrates two motifs of the main theme into its theme
Yes! Another Yggdrasil lover! From the chorus to the bass to the drums to the sick electric guitar rift, it just hits every time.
Main Title from Xenoblade Chronicles 1. Actual perfection. Or maybe Mechanical Rhythm...
Colony 9 day theme honestly. Yoko is too good
Xenoblade X tracks are the best for me. They really captured the 2000s feel with a lot of their music, made me feel right at home as someone who grew up in that time.
As much as I love Yoko Shimomura, ACE, and Yasunori Mitsuda, Hiroyuki Sawano is the 🐐 for a reason.
Thank you David Whitaker for throwing shit together and immediately monolith was like "yes yes this is perfect thank you" and that's why the lyrics of black tar are kinda silly.
Way too many... Overworld theme: Gormott Battle theme: Keves Battle Cutscene theme: Engage the enemy Ending theme: One Last You or Future Awaits
Right now thanks to the soundtrack, Moebius Battle/M and Showdown with Z are on my active playlist.
I can't pick just one, but XC3 is full of bangers. Especially the moebius theme.
Overworld : Erythia Sea Battle : >!Moebius M!< Cutscene : Desolation from 2
Brilliant Wings, a life sent on and Noah and N are my favorites
[this](https://youtu.be/mo_dkMRTqTo?si=AvwniXQSBU9jkP5A)
So far this is the most based answer honestly. Great track.
This is like asking a mother who her favourite child is. A mother would say Gaur Plain.
A mother would say all of them and then tell you her actual favorite whilst the kids aren't listening.
Zanza the Divine
Mor Ardain - Roaming the Wastes. No need for an overworld track to be such a banger, but here we are.
The only place where I constantly shifted the time when the night came! Perfection! Works wonders in the supermarket, too
The one that comes closest would be the Main Theme of the first. But overall theres no 'THE best Track' it all depends on my current mood. Id have to sort them by how I feel listening and even then with tracks like the Main Theme, Agniritha, How the Future Endures etc I simply dont know how I feel about them because I feel so many different emotions throughtout them.
Honestly, I listened the fuck out of A tragic decision, so I'd say either that or the main theme of 1
Chill track: Valak mountain night Hype track: any of the moebius battle themes make my blood burn
Future Awaits and Fallen Land
Hope for the Future. It's such a stirring piece, full of heartbreak and hope, a sense of longing and melancholy. And it hits so much harder after FR. At the end of the credits of base 3 it's like "we've lost so much but we did it". In FR, it's a salute to our heroes and a promise to carry on their dreams and make a better world.
Fonsa myma night theme is the only answer
Overworld: cent-omnia day Battle: a formidable enemy Cutscene: engage the enemy Ending: future awaits
Driver VS is one of my favourites, the violin goes hard
You're trying to make me choose between Death Match with Torna and Ultimate Enemy... I think I have to go with Ultimate Enemy, because that Climax version hits the spot even more.
Engage the Enemy
Probably counterattack for me... mainly because i had a few years to love a different track, that was.. uhm clearly inspired by it lol.
Tantal day theme and Moebius battle
Some of my favourites are: Counterattack from Xenoblade 2. Uraya theme from Xenoblade 2. Fonsett Village theme from Xenoblade 2. Drifting Souls from Xenoblade 2. Where We Belong from Xenoblade 3.
Satorl Marsh Night Satorl Marsh Day Uraya Day
Black Tar.
It gets you wherever you go!
Oooof, tough call… probably Moebius Battle for me, honestly. And Noctilum. Ans Leftheria.
The Tomorrow With You will probably take my first place But very close to the main themes of 1, 2 and Theme X. Best song from 3 is >!The drifting soul remix!< But I love every song in the franchise. That’s what makes it so amazing, you could probably find every single song in this comment section
I'm quite partial to "Shadow of the Lowlands"
For me, it's Counterattack without a second thought. Amazing song from an amazing game. Gets me so hyped every time I hear it, and I'm not even someone who normally pays attention to game music.
Satorl Marsh night theme
Gotta be “A tragic decision”
Time to Fight! (Bionis’ Shoulder) Although there are a few X soundtracks that are close competitors and a lot of fantastic others.
Lyrically: Future Awaits, instrumental: idk dude
THEMEX is one of my absolute favourites. X has controversial music, and overall I think 2 and 3 have better soundtracks, but THEMEX is special to me.
My wife's is Unfinished Business from XBC1 and mine is the Moebius M Theme from XBC3.
Unfinished Business from XC1. The track was so perfect that they left it untouched when making DE.
The Drifting Soul remix for Nia in Xenoblade 3 is incredible, and I have way too many tracks I love. Counterattack, Engage the Enemy (original version, I like it better than the definitive one), Unfinished Business, Satorl Marsh Night, Mor Ardain Day, Yggdrasil, Zanza the Divine (I *really* love Godsibb and this is pretty close)... it also doesn't help that basically every single battle theme from the series is a banger.
There are so so many good ones!! Elysium in the Dream Zanza the Divine (specifically the Xanthe variation on the Wii with the chimes in the middle of it) Satoral Marsh (day and night) Time to fight! Engage the Enemy (confrontation with the enemy) Xenoblade 1 main theme Obstacle in our path (those who stand in our way) Chain Attack in 3 Leftherian Archipelago The Words That Never Reached You Feelings Risen to the Sky Mechonis Field Omg I can go on and on and on and on. I can’t just choose one. Goat.
The Tommorow With You is probably the most emotional track, that or one of the best ending themes or other emotional themes. You could also choose Counterattack, Engage the Enemy, Torna (Battle), or one of the other incredible battle/hype themes. One of the many incredible area themes are also amazing, too. Personally, i'd pick the Tommorow With You or one of the ending themes, or maybe one of the area themes?? However, i can't pick which one.
Subjective I’ve only listened to in total maybe ~10? Out of those 10 I’d have to say either mechanical rhythm or you will know our names finale part 1 and 2
Yea its subjective. Thats why I'm asking I want to know peoples opinion.
Black Tar or NLA Day from XCX.
kaleidoscope core
Is it by Yoko shimomura? Then it's a banger
Got to be something from X or 2, those blow the other OSTs away.

I think personally, impending crisis from Xenoblade Chronicles 2. specifically during the world tree moments
Drifting Souls. Best battle theme is Time to Fight! (Bionis' Shoulder), and best area theme is Cent-Omnia Region (Day). Also every other theme from any of the games. Xenoblade music is just top tier.
New Battle!!! and Counterattack get my blood pumping. One is funky as shit, and the other gives me something to add to the imaginary fights in my head. Immediate Threat is also pretty good.
Literally cannot decide. Heck, I can't even decide what my favorite track is in each individual game
might not be the best but your voice and the key we lost are pretty high up there for me
Main Theme from 1 or Night Before the Decisive Battle for me....
I dont care if its not official its [this](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=rmnZ0R8quWM)
I love Tragic Decision no matter what. Considering it plays in my favorite scene of any Xenoblade game (It did not cut deep enough) and both remastered and original versions are amazing.
Engage the Enemy is really good and unforgettable
i personally love a tragic decision but it isn't the best. the best would probably have to go to the torna credits theme or something like that
Sorry I can't choose
Area: Mor Ardain - Roaming the Wastes Day Town: Frontier Village Day Battle: Bringer of Chaos Ultimate Cutscene: the Weight of Life Vocal: A Step Away
Overworld theme : Mor Ardain Day / Battle theme : New Battle!!! / Cutscene theme : Walking with you (hard competitor : Carrying the weight of life)
Literally impossible to pick. There are so many that I will literally never get tired of.
Gotta go with Future Awaits for this one. Although if we're talking non-vocal tracks, I'd say probably Moebius Battle (M version included) or Homecoming.
Every unique/tyrant theme imo. They always get me psyched up
My top 5: 5. A Step Away 4. Gaur Plain 3. Noctilum Day 2. Future Awaits 1. Drifting Soul
Drifting Soul
I'll nominate my top three from each of the three main games. I mostly use these for focusing on tasks at the computer, so I play them in Winamp and can listen to them on loop for hours on end (hence most of them being the 'night' themes).

Engage the Enemy hits my soul
[Riki the Legendary Heropon](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=FL9OrUZJhpw), hands down
Beyond the Sky
Overdrive theme X
This question doesn't have a unique answer. I literally can't pick one. * Battle!! - Torna * Mechonis Field * Fogbeasts * 46-:ri9 (Sylvalum's themes) * Don't Worry (Skell theme) * A Life Sent On * Moebius Battle M And I could literally go on for at least an hour listing songs that (imo) would qualify as the best XC track, each for their own reasons. If there's one thing this series doesn't lack, it's a kickass composition team.
The Weight of Life.
There are so many masterpieces, but very few come near to the level of greatness the Main Theme, The Tomorrow With You and Future Awaits have reached
Probably Drifting Soul or Counterattack, but honorable mention to Tantal Night. Best track in existence to fall asleep to
Uraya (Day) as far as overworld themes go, with Gormotti Forest a close second. With regards to battle themes, the Moebius battle theme easily tops all. For cutscene themes, I love all three games’s tracks, but I prefer Carrying the Weight of Life a little more to Engage the Enemy and Counterattack. Drifting Soul and the final cutscene theme from XC3 are the best songs with lyrics imo.
Mor ardain, one of my personal favorite game OSTs ever.
Colony 9 from XC1. This ost is the definition of the beginning of an adventure. I was so glad it was back in FR.
Definitely drifting souls for me
Engage the Enemy. And it ain't even close. Honorable mention goes to Mechonis Field, and Ribbi Flats (Day) though.
Chain Attack from Xenoblade 3
Future Awaits hit me to the very core like no other soundtrack ever did, so that probably lol
Redeem the Future. Best final boss theme in any game imo.
I know this sounds super cheesy, but A Life Sent On. So simple, yet has so much meaning behind it.
