I can't pick one over the other😭I like the intro from the original better but I liked the added instruments in the new ver. I need to make a mashup or smthn🤔
I actually managed to pick a fight with the local wildlife before the song had a chance to start playing, and was like, wait a minute - is this - ? I'd already noticed the fences just outside of Yesterdale, and noted that they reminded me of Colony 9.
This track is awesome! Never played the original before, but compared it to the original track, and I LOVE the piano in the background which I think was not present in the original one. Also the guitar strumming is awesome
BREW Yeah, nobody considers it bad, but it’s overlooked because of Gaur Plains, Mechanical Rhythm, Unfinished Battle, etc. It’s rare to see someone mention this track when it’s the one track that starts off the game and gives momentum
Really? After spending much time on gaur plains I can for sure say that I think the colony 9 track does not need to hide from gaur plains. Okay gaur plains looks more epic, but that does not make the track betfer
I was already in love with the original version, but wow am I in love with the style the remastered version has! While the acoustic guitar takes a bit of a back seat, the violin, flute, extra piano keys and the additional bass give it a bit more of a unique style while still staying true to the original's melody. It's beautiful.
Don't get me wrong, I love all the tracks in this game so far (I'm around chapter 11 rn). But this one definitely piqued my interest when I first started the game and really got me diving into it. Helped me get pumped for the adventure.
Absolutely. I grabbed the game after all the hype and they made the reprints. The moment this music came on I was like “oh that’s how this is gonna be?”
I hope you have a pleasant journey through this masterpiece of a game. Though, to be honest, my jaw dropped a couple of times while playing the remake.
@@MrStarman926 Well, excuse me for making the occasional mistake in a language that's not my own. What I meant to say was that, even as someone who's played this game countless times, I was still amazed by it time and again.
I dunno where you live or even in America for that matter, but if you do some Walmarts sell $60 for 50 Unrelated story I went to 4 stores and non of them had copies of the game, then when I went to Walmart they had it cheaper and a butt load of copies
@@mr.wasteland4579 Yes. this is definitely a thing in the US and I have no clue why, Walmart always sells $60 switch games (even new ones) for $50. If you want a game for cheaper that's the place to do it
Yeah, they should have switched the two themes. This much more invokes the feeling of running under an infinite sky and exploring the world outside your small colony for the first time. Full of wonder and possibilities.
This game is chock full of amazing area themes, like Gaur Plain, Satorl Marsh night, Makna Forest, Valak Mountain night, but this one has always been my favourite. It perfectly captures that feeling of starting an adventure. It's a song I like to put at the start of road trip playlists.
I can imagine a lot of new players also doing that lol. I'm new to Xenoblade as well but I adapted and noticed things a lot faster than I originally though I would. This game in phenomenal for sure
this is my favorite Xenoblade chronicles song but listening the remastered version wow!! not gonna lie IM CRYING!!! It’s so beautiful!!! I played the 3DS version but definitely will buy this version! One of my favorite RPG games! ❤️ thanks Nintendo
Was this song anyone else's initial motivator to keep playing the game before the story really started? I still vividly remember that whenever I loaded up the game in the first couple of hours I looked forward to hearing this song again, so much so that every time I'd just wander around for a while just to get to listen to the song more. Before the story even really began, this song was the very first thing to let me know I had just begun playing one of the greatest video game series of all time.
Damn… just beat the game for the first time, I was so swept up by the experience it didn’t really click for me how special it was until the end. Hearing this makes me wanna go play it all over again.
I became completely incoherent upon hearing this in FR. This is one of my favorite environment tracks in Xenoblade Chronicles and this just brought back all the emotions from starting up the first game.
I won't lie I miss the raw sounding acoustic guitar from the original version; that being said the percussion in this version sounds much more full, it is not just a bass rather leaving a almost high level sounds as well. My favourite is that almost hollow sounding flute that carries part of the melody. It is pretty spectacular all things considered
This song reminds of Chrono Cross hardcore. First world map theme. I know this was done by Shimomura, but this feels like Mitsuda handing over the keys to the car. Such a lovely bridge between the 2 big Xeno composers :D
I crosses the threshold for this map as a fight started and was very caught off guard by hearing different music from "New Battle!!!" But as I was listening, I thought "hold up, I know this song...?" I left battle to be greeted with this field theme again. To say I broke into tears would be an understatement.
First Name Last Name I don’t really know what you’re trying to say, but for the original version of this song they most definitely used MIDI instruments and samples for the majority of the instruments. You can tell by the flute and violin patch there - Yoko Shimomura (the song’s composer) is a big fan of those specific synthesized patches. She’s used them quite a bit throughout her discography (she was a huge fan of Roland MIDI sound modules during the 2000s). They sound great and I personally love the specific atmosphere they add but if you listen carefully you can tell they’re not live instruments. This remaster mainly uses live instruments I think. It sounds like it at least. Except the drums and percussion, those are definitely still programmed/samples like the original, which is fine by me since it’s a fire groove.
I remember the first time I heard the original version of the song on the 3DS release, I remember thinking to myself. “Damn, this is gonna be a long but fun journey.” And I was right, and I loved every bit of it, and I did replay the game via the Switch release, and when I heard this Arranged version, it gave me goosebumps. The whole arranged version of the soundtrack gives beautiful fresh air to an already wonderful soundtrack to an already amazing game.

This is what the start of an adventure sounds like
Recently started again and I forgot how hard it goes
Yes it does. This song reminds me of being on an adventure outside in the country.
And truly at the end of a long journey, it sounds like coming back home... Thank you Xenoblade
100% yes
stepping over tephra hill as shulk and hearing this as you see the colony 9 tower come into view had me bawling...future redeemed is something else
People hardly appreciate this track. The remastered track definitely does the original justice.
How is that? Everyone loves this track. I think that at 0:35 they nailed it's soo much better than the original
This track is awesome! Never played the original before, but compared it to the original track, and I LOVE the piano in the background which I think was not present in the original one. Also the guitar strumming is awesome

Also, XC2 also has a lot
But I don't know about X though

The violin excels in almost the entire soundtrack. From Main Theme, to Colony 9, to Gaur Plains, Once We Part Ways, and even in Epilogue a little bit.
This songs give me nostalgia, and it's funny because I haven't played the original
Then i hope U Play the rework ^^
I just heard this in game about an hour ago, and I want more
@@GenmuLVLX well its one of the best Songs in Game. Only 4 Songs are better in my opinion. U will have a lot of fun
@@bastianschleiing5646 Of course, I bought it yesterday
Somehow reminds me of Chrono Cross intro theme (Time's Scar).

WHO LET FUTURE REDEEMED BORROW THE BAKED AND BASED COLONY 9 THEME. GIVE THEM A RAISE.
ITS BACK! Damn near cried man tears when I heard it again with "Time to Fight!". This is certainly a Xenoblade moment of all time.
Future redeemed was the biggest XC1 fan service, and I'm so happy it was.
when this song first played i thought it was cause shulk was in the party i had no idea where we were until the tephra hill landmark popped
This song came back in Xenoblade 3... I'm not crying... You are.
I finished XC3 and I never hear this... wth you talking about!? Is it on the DLC?

Has that "home-y" feeling.

Yep
Yeah
The guitar at the beginning tho. It's one of the many reasons where i need to say that this song takes the first place for the best remastered song
ok but what about the night track
Bruuuuuh got goosebumps when I heard this theme in FR today 😳
"One-hit kill. Or something. Ehehe!~"
"Man what a bunch of jokers..."
"PIECE OF CAKE!!"
"We make a great team!"
"But we musn't be careless!"
"ViCtOrY tO rIKi!"
"Let's stick together, and we'll be right as Reyn! Get it?"
"Haha, you crack me up, Shulk!"
I’m on fire! Sharla, did ya see me? Did ya see what I did?
Oh! I, uh, wasn’t really looking.
Oh, c’mon, that’s not fair!
Hahaha!
"Victory is sweetest when you can share it!"
"Let's keep on going like this guys!"
"Let's press on and on and on and on!"
I can Redeem the Future!
I don't have DE, but I will work half time and buy this masterpiece, I promise
I dunno where you live or even in America for that matter, but if you do some Walmarts sell $60 for 50

Anyone here again after Future Redeemed? ✋
I started screaming with excitement when it started to play, omg
@@joxblood I legit teared up. 🥲
My favorite area theme in the series, not only does it sound good but it's the moment you realize that this game is going to be something special
i like colony 9 much more than gaur plains.
I agree. It has stronger vibes.
I agree! This is more exotic, and with less abrupt transitions.
Yeah, they should have switched the two themes. This much more invokes the feeling of running under an infinite sky and exploring the world outside your small colony for the first time. Full of wonder and possibilities.
I can't tell you how happy I was when I heard the colony 9 theme at the liberations base of operations
I initially struggled to get past this into the game properly because i didnt want this music to end.
Jrpgs in the 2000s had absolutely sublime osts. I can't help but feel pumped by the violins and backtrack
If you don’t know it, The Last Remnant has one of the best ost ever.
A perfect song in 2010
And just as perfect remastered 10 years later
Loved hearing this in the new DLC
I jumped for joy when I heard this song in Future Redeemed.
As soon as I heard this in Future Redeemed, the nostalgia hit me like a tank.
Had to just stop and listen. God. Still a banger
Just started playing this last night for the first time EVER. this song is GORGEOUS. Literally obsessed with it already.
GUYS! THIS TRACK IS IN XC3 FUTURE REDEEMED!
This song hits so HARD in Future Redeemed, it's enough to make a grown man cry.
Having played the original, hearing this again as I started DE was a perfect combination of nostalgia and "I am so happy to be here again"
Oh my god it's back
This game is chock full of amazing area themes, like Gaur Plain, Satorl Marsh night, Makna Forest, Valak Mountain night, but this one has always been my favourite. It perfectly captures that feeling of starting an adventure. It's a song I like to put at the start of road trip playlists.
honestly, I think this is my favourite song in the game. Just so peaceful.
does anybody just... wait around (and grind) until it's daytime for this to play?
just me? ok
You could also adjust the in-game clock so it's daytime whenever you want.
There's a clock in the menu you can use to change the time at any moment, it's very useful for sidequests

Besides the refreshed instrumental violin performace, I really love the enhanced bass, especially 2:12 and 2:28. Amazing!

@@cozyjosey1709 The game originally came out on June 10th, 2010. So you were almost correct.
Wow. The instant they put this on iTunes like with Xenoblade 2, I am there.
I started out on DE, but I still got hyped over hearing this (and "Time to Fight!" ost) in FR.
I played the first Xenoblade this year on Switch and was instantly sold when I heard this track.
Damn… just beat the game for the first time, I was so swept up by the experience it didn’t really click for me how special it was until the end. Hearing this makes me wanna go play it all over again.
Such a beautiful way to start the adventure. I remember just sitting in awe as this theme kicked in after meeting Shulk and Reyn.
Such a beautiful track. Definitely in my top 10 Xenoblade 1 songs.
This is genuinely of the most beautiful pieces of music ive ever heard
the nostalgia is strong enough to bring me to tears
I want to pump this into my bloodstreams
My God, what a masterpiece of a game.
I became completely incoherent upon hearing this in FR. This is one of my favorite environment tracks in Xenoblade Chronicles and this just brought back all the emotions from starting up the first game.
the violinist had 3 years of debt to pay
I remember the first time I heard this and thought: wait this is our first area theme???
Imagine seeing this LIVE IN CONCERT
Theme of swimming to Agora Shore
Played this in my car driving down CA-1: absolutely stunning
I need to go to Highway 1 soon. Especially with a good soundtrack like Xenoblade.
The traffic isn’t stunning though
Juat started on 3ds and fell in love with this song. Only 3 hours in but i have a feeling thia is going to be a good game
this song carries so much emotions
Shulk isn't really feeling it anymore. 😔
At this point already, 10 years ago, I knew this game is a masterpiece. I was still right 100 hours later.
man even when I`m having THEE most stressed out day this song makes me happy and relaxed
Even with a lot of the other amazing and triumphant songs in Xenoblade 1, Colony 9 will always be my favorite.
It's cool how instead of having the bass change chords, it just stays on the Low E note instead.
I won't lie I miss the raw sounding acoustic guitar from the original version;
