@@larshmallows I played 2 right before DE came out so the experience was fresh in my mind. I enjoyed XC2 very much but I believe XC1 is more consistant and cohesive with it's writing, characters, and story. It's all a matter of personal preference though, I do think XC2's battle system is more fun.
@@ill_luck Why yes, you are correct master at xenoblade. Jumping in the water would be the most logical way to get down the tree quickly. Shattering your legs on many of the numerous branches is just silly, why would *anyone* even bring it up? I can't imagine why anyone would bother trying to, you know, make a joke about this obviously bad manuver
Me: Trying to jump to that one bridge where the quest for a replica monado is. Shulk: *jumps off* "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!! Well that could've gone better."
Honestly, Frontier Village is probably the one standout city/town in the game. The fact that it's build entirely vertically without being a pain to navigate is super cool, and it's just got a very welcoming, wholesome vibe.
i would say alcamoth is also pretty standout though. But yeah frontier village is really nice. Seems like a great place to chill with some nopon friends
@@Justin-cw7zf I like Alcamoth's scale, but it feels almost too big tbh, it takes forever to get from place to place I guess I'd like it a lot more if they did more with the space
@@Justin-cw7zf SPOILERS To me alcamoth is only a standout because of what happens to it at the end of the game. It feels kind average and a lot more spacious than it needs to be (especially because there are no warp points on that long walkway on that top floor making it a hassle when you're trying to reach something in the back) but venturing in there after all the entia's have been converted to telethias is horrible and it really shows just how much Zanza's actions affected the poor people and how little he actually cares for the beings he created.
*WORD OF WARNING:* DO NOT HAVE MORE THAN 3 WALNUT GRAPES IN YOUR INVENTORY WHEN YOU COME TO THE FRONTIER VILLAGE. There is a Nopon who will ask for either Walnut Grapes or Bitter Kiwis, with the Kiwis being the better option. If you already have the grapes when you talk to the NPC (and you probably will, since you can find them in an earlier area,) it will automatically lock you out of the option of presenting the Kiwis instead.
I wish this would get fixed. I think this was the only instance for not getting a choice for what items you can give if you have both, at least thats how it worked for me
I'm not sure if they fixed it in the DE of the game. I remember this quest and I think I might have accidentally given them to him. Somehow I still got 5 star affinity for central Bionis.
@@Empolo18 Just did this quest a few days ago: it's not fixed in the DE, I spent so much time searching for Bitter Kiwis only to have the game decide that I should become a divorce attorney.
how can i describe this... its like they took the best elements of both the day and night versions of of the original song and mixed them together perfectly
This feels like what a home should be like. I can't believe this is only one out of many amazing music pieces in the entire Xenoblade series. Thank you for this amazing thing you've made, Monolithsoft.
I really like how the Soundtrack goes for a more old school RPG sound in the music from Satorl up though Frontier Village. Gives everything a nostalgic feel to it
This little town was just so beautifully detailed, I loved being able to follow the whole process of making pollen orbs if you went far enough up, I *loved* that they took the time to animate every little step in their production including the little crushing machines. It felt so lived in and so oddly realistic considering it’s just a bunch of little fuzzy bowling balls living in a giant tree
A quick listen after playing the game and then reading to notes from the composer, I did not know that the main melody was played on the recorder!! I grabbed my own recorder to play along and it turns out that you can really play along by with it. I thought that was really cool because I do not know too many songs on the recorder let alone play it. but so refreshing to hear this instrument in action. Also thought the accordion is amazing here. The whole is so beautiful.
The area I was the most hyped for from the start, when I learned that there was a nopon village I couldn't wait to see it. I find them adorable and I'm pretty biased so this area is one of my favorites, the music is so upbeat and no matter what's going on in the world this place is always so full of life.
I didn't really care for most of the other town/settlement themes in XC1 but then I heard this one god damn. That happy village vibe is so strong and it's perfect.
I rank themes by where they play: Cutscene, Field and Battle. This right here, is my favourite field track mainly cause of the effect it leaves on you. Your in a peaceful village and the instruments are catchy. Listening to this a whole year later I am already nostalgic as hell. Thank you Monolith Soft for making such a memorable game
Wow I never realized, just gave it a listen and colony 6 really does sound like a slowed down version of frontier village but I kinda of feel like it's different enough. Anyway, you blew my mind
Ben Slater you’re right, Ive since realized that I was just completely confusing the two songs. Melody isn’t the same but chords and structure are very similar, so I see how I got confused
It's ridiculous how this song can instantly make me feel better emotionally. I'm not gonna lie, 50% of why I love XC is because of the nopons and this specific village. And this amazing BGM is the cherry on top!
Ziazia like to play xeno game with blushy crushy waifu and melty hotty husbando I fucking love the goofy shit nopon say lmfao “My wife divorced me” -rufflescruffles or some shit
Ziazia want to find internship for to build super cool robot, meh, no one appreciates ziazia talent I fucking love the goofy shit nopon say lmfao “My wife divorced me” -rufflescruffles or some shit
Whenever this track comes up I always think of when I tried to jump off of the highest floor and see how long I could descend for without dying. Why I did this? I don't know
Am I the only person who tried to jump from the very top and try to land at the very bottom in the water also in the centre of the circle shaped object above the water were you met riki
I did it before meeting Riki on my first playthrough, I actually did it because I thought it was an intended way to make it to the quest objective faster (which is probably what it was).
Tohlemiach what I mean by this is a lot of the new tracks don’t sound good. A lot of the new tracks also sound great. Most of the battle themes have really bad mixing which makes them sound hollow and light. There’s an overall problem with dynamics (Satorl night got murdered by this) and a trend of some weird staccato deliveries at weird times. But a lot of things sound much better also. Cause live instruments sound nice. It’s inconsistent
pointing this shit out literally always makes someone dislike just to be a contrarian -- not that that'll be an issue once they brick the plugin to see dislikes

Listen to the Original version of this track here: ruclips.net/video/_GKitjsAiuk/видео.html
Theirs a slight roughness from the OG that just feels nice NGL as a fan since 2014
Theme of rapidly scrolling through the area levels to see if there are any new quests and changing time to repeat the process.
this, is true
but worth it for that monado armor :^)
cake
Eater
APrettyFunnyPerson wait the one on the fallen arm was armor? or eater
cake
Fallen Arm was Armor
Makna was Eater
I am so, so glad that Nintendo and Monolith decided that remastering this game would be a good idea.
It's my first time playing XC1 and good god it's so amazing. I thought 2 was great but Definitive Edition just blows it out of the freaking water.
Generic Username Think both are great. Many areas in XC2 are better then XC1 and vice versa. I think both stories are great, tho I did like XC1 a bit more.

@@larshmallows Most of my praise might be due to DE being my first experience with XC1, but eh.
Theme of doing everyone's chores to get Monado Eater.
One of Shulk's best ether Arts with best Bleed damage of all characters.
Rama Hermawan Armor has to be the best tho. It’s insane how good it is.
i actually found that out by accident, after doing the chores to try and get some extra skill trees
Lourenço Popp don't forget about the love beetle!
@@Softlol yeah, it's the best defensive Arts of all characters. Spam it and everyone will be a tank.
Theme song of jumping down the tree and dying over and over
If you’re not always landing in the water you’re obviously doing something wrong
@@ill_luck Why yes, you are correct master at xenoblade. Jumping in the water would be the most logical way to get down the tree quickly.

"Hom hom everywhere. "
"Me want touch hom hom."
"Me want nibble hom hom."
"Hom hom taste blegh."
"Hom hom scary."
OWAH XD
MEH MEH MEH
Riki love playing with littlepon of Riki, but hassle for Riki to help littlepon stuck in trees.
Me heropon riki, but definitive
Poor Nene
hello again wunwun
Hot take: this is the best area in the game. I love the tree city vibe it gives and the happy atmosphere always puts a smile on my face.
No one is arguing this point dont worry homie
I wholeheartedly agree, this towering tree-filled Nopon are so happy and it’s cute just to look at them.
This new version is even better than I hoped it would be
"And then he says...'Ouchie ouch!'"
*claps*
CLAP CLAP CLAP
I remember Riki said that when arriving at Sword Valley...
This is Melia. She has four guards-
Kill them

Is this anyone else’s favorite track in the game?
Just keep listening this track over and over again.
Probably my favorite song in this game so far. I just love it!
Frontier Village: Good future
Haha, it does feel like that !

Theme of: Riki, Nopon and being happy :)
That’s why my avatar is Riki after all!
Heropon Riki bestest!
...my personal favorite area theme in the entire game. It just... tried to touch my inner child and it succeeded
I like how the Nopon village is so soothing and warm, and the music just broadens this.
Honestly I'd love to work at the Pollen Works myself.
Never cared about this theme in the original, love it now. Was never crazy about how it had to share this melody with Colony 6 though.
Did they really have the same melody? I always thought they sounded similar, but i never knew they were the same.
squidward tentacles Same melody. Different instrumentation and harmonization but the melody is 1 to 1.
Wow I never realized, just gave it a listen and colony 6 really does sound like a slowed down version of frontier village but I kinda of feel like it's different enough. Anyway, you blew my mind
@@MrStarman926 I don't think this is right. The harmonization is the same in both but the melodies (although similar) are different
Ben Slater you’re right, Ive since realized that I was just completely confusing the two songs. Melody isn’t the same but chords and structure are very similar, so I see how I got confused
After finishing XC3.. I am happy Monolith Soft decided to remaster this game. I got to enjoy XC3 to its maximum potential
Elma has always been my most wanted second Xenoblade rep in Smash, but Riki would be very cool, too.
For some reason, this reminds me of my early childhood. So peaceful, nothing to worry about except watch cartoons and eat cereal every morning.
2:39 The beautiful and lively percussion and acoustic in the BG. Sheesh. My ears!
this track just makes me smile
Anyone else cry the fuck out listening to this song or is it just me?
No don't worry
Just you you man-baby.
Games usually have one town or area I always warp to whenever I want to do extended menu management. It's this one for XC1.
BESTEST
BEEEEESSSSSSSSTTTTTTEEEEESSSSSTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!
Why do have the Nopons the darkest sidequests of the game?
To make up for their outwardly "mostly" cute appearance?
*_NOPON DRUG CARTELS_*
I found the high Entia quest (where you pick the pure blooded mate for the relationship upgrade) pretty tragic, given what happens later.
@@asteroidvgm545 And mafia gangs and criminal masterminds in XC2
Let’s not forget the Nopon cultists that *successfully summoned a demon*
Ah yes... the method behind the madness. Brilliant.
It's ridiculous how this song can instantly make me feel better emotionally.
I'm not gonna lie, 50% of why I love XC is because of the nopons and this specific village.
And this amazing BGM is the cherry on top!

They knew what they were doing when they put water down there.
Nopons ❤️
Perfect.
Why dose this make me happy?
Yep still dose.
Why though?
The guitar?
Flute?
The drums?

Your profile pic is even Tora, a Nopon.
@@ramahermawan4598 ironically, not the bestest nopon
Not bad of a remake. Not bad at all.
ok dunban
When the accordion kicks in 🙀
Riki the best Nopon 😍😗😘
Possibly the most wholesome song in the series. Granted, it hides the dark secrets of the Noponis, but still.
And of the Jujuonis as well!! 💀
walter white nopon
Only the cool kids know how to get on top of the big tree in front of the entrance without moon jump.
Hmm hmm yes Le Nopon
straight up really good remaster idk how some of these are so perfect and some just miss the point

While I *do* really love this theme, and love the addition of an accordion and mandolin, I do somewhat miss the bagpipes in the original...

I’m back again
Back once again lol
back again.
I fucking love Atelier

This is great. I think I prefer the original though.
