@@Cyndillquil This is either Kenji Hiramatsu, ACE or Manami Kiyota. Yasunori Mitsuda doesn't usually compose Field Tracks, unless they are the final zone of the game (Like in 2 and 3), the style of composition sounds more like ACE.
(Idk if this is a hot take or what) but imo most of XC3’s Area themes just felt lacking to me, but as soon as I heard this I was just like “Oh yeah, NOW I’m exploring a Xenoblade game”
A lot of XC3 area music may be less catchy than some area tracks from the previous games, but they do an amazing job of creating the right atmosphere. For example the very first area of the game, hearing the music after the fight scene immediately made me think "We're fighting... but for what?". Another great example is Maktha
It’s not a hot take. Xb3 had great battle and scenario themes but had maybe 1 or two good area themes. The chain attack theme also was not intelligently used causing people to grow resentment towards what is otherwise a complete banger.
For a while, I thought the area themes would be milick meadows 2.0, same not super memorable track. This right here. This is an instant classic. ACE+ never forgot how to do location themes.
I've been playing games all my life, only 2 games OST's have captured me, Halo and Xeno series. Halo gets me pumped and ready to do stuff and will listen to it often. Xeno series have evoked a myriad of emotions. No video game has ever made me tear up, but when the homecoming scene happened in part 3, it hit like a truck. I really do love this series OST and hope the Saga is continued.
It’s already confirmed that XC3 and so by extension Future Redeemed are the end of the current Xenoblade saga. But Monolith also said that this by no means equals the end of the series. So one incredible story ends with this DLC expansion but another one will begin soon enough.
This is not mitsuda. I guess it's kenji hiramatsu. Mitsuda handles story themes, ACE and hiramatsu handled battle themes and area themes. Correct me if I'm wrong tho
I love how hot take you tube drop outs like player essence keep saying xc 3 is better in every aspect. Which in the music category it totally was not. But THIS. SHEER PERFECTION a worthy successor to gormott plains and guar plains
Composer really went in saying ‘lets make the best field theme’
If the composer is still Yasonori Mitsuda, then by Zanza, he peaked here.

2:18 goes pretty hard not gonna lie. Truly the love child of Gaur Plains and Gormott.
Holy shit you're right. I'm literally about to start crying
One of the best map themes in the series! they went so hard.
Yeeees !
As soon as i heard that drop i put down my controller
We are so back
This really sounds like a send off to the Xenoblade trilogy. If the rest of the ost sounds like this, I WILL cry ;-;
Xenoblade's Route 10/23
This might just be the best field area track in the series! WE'RE SO FUCKING BAAAAAAAAAACK!!!
This song is 🔥, but Roaming the Wastes is still the best
Gaur plain?
Not only the past characters had children but so did the past music
0:15 im convinced ACE+ just really really loves Abba
Everyone talking about Gaur plains in the comments but the melody and piano are very reminiscent of Gran Dell. Also fits a certain landmark...
0:48 sounds like Grenade by Bruno Mars, “You tossed me in the trash.” You’re welcome you can no longer unhear this
I was about to post this too in the middle of my first listen. Glad I saw this comment.
Dude I KNEW that melody sounded familiar!!
I'm so glad I'm not the only one that noticed
I just had to sit there at that elevator for a few minutes. The music, the scenery, it all just hit me like a ton of bricks. God I love Xenoblade.
0:15: When you know its a Xenoblade masterpiece
(Idk if this is a hot take or what) but imo most of XC3’s Area themes just felt lacking to me, but as soon as I heard this I was just like “Oh yeah, NOW I’m exploring a Xenoblade game”
Same here!!
Same

there are a few i remember well, like the city and erythia sea
1:29 that piano build up 😩
Gave you all I had and you tossed it in the trash (ooh-ooh)
You tossed it in the trash, you did (ooh-ooh)
10 years of xenoblade in a single song. Makes me tear up every time 😢
It did not need to go this hard for a plains theme
This is Xenoblade. It HAS to
For a while, I thought the area themes would be milick meadows 2.0, same not super memorable track. This right here. This is an instant classic. ACE+ never forgot how to do location themes.
Typical xenoblade banger
2:18 Good god this track is amazing
0:15 is better

Saga will end but the series will live on!! I think

holy shit
After the slightly underwhelming (but still good) millick meadows, ACE really went out and made the best field/plains theme.
Same/similar level of excitement as when I heard Gaur plain for the first time.
0:48 this sounds too similar to the first part of Tokyo Ghoul's opening Unravel, and I can't unhear it
damn , why is these themes being better each and better everytime ❤ , are they even humans ?
I don't know how they can get amazing songs another after another.
Specially this is so Xenoblade that make chills.
Yasunori never misses. Both of them, Nishiki and Mitsuda. Absolute VGM legends.
This is not mitsuda. I guess it's kenji hiramatsu. Mitsuda handles story themes, ACE and hiramatsu handled battle themes and area themes. Correct me if I'm wrong tho
Everyone talks about 2:18, but how about 3:00 onwards? That last section is my favourite part of the entire track.
IS the best part
I love how hot take you tube drop outs like player essence keep saying xc 3 is better in every aspect. Which in the music category it totally was not. But THIS. SHEER PERFECTION a worthy successor to gormott plains and guar plains
Any chance we would get an extended version of just the day theme? 🙏
Looking at the map in this pic i thought it was the remains of tantal merged.... Like the ruins of the urayan town and hanging castle
It sounds like grenade by Bruno mars,
가울평원보다는 굴라에 더 가까운 느낌. 본편 필드브금보다 좋은듯
Best part 1:31-2:00
Best part 0:00-7:20
