Very nice arrangement and playing. Thank you purpleschala for leading and sharing this project, and thank you to the players for the awesome performance :)
There are no words that can express how much I love your rendition of this piece. You all nailed it SO WELL. The musicality you all have captures not only the original feel of the piece but adds your own depth and color to it, really making it shine. It truly is one of the best title screen tracks and is now only made better by this arrangement. Please please please please make an audio download of it so we can listen to it outside of RUclips's compression (FLAC please?). Though, I suppose that's a request for all of your music! Lol. Also, if you ever need a mandolin in any of your music, I'll be happy to lend it. I'm not the best mandolin player around but I love doing video game music on it. Just one more voice to your arsenal of arranging. :)
MASAEL THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I will absolutely keep that in mind!!! you are always so kind and encouraging and I appreciate it so much!! This was all the strings making this what it was, i cannot emphasize that enough! I was literally just sitting there lol!!! And it will be available for download on iTunes etc! Working on it!! =D
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR LISTENING!!!! one of my favorite intro themes ever and it just encapsulates the essence of Shulk and co's journey so well, just the sheer depth of emotion. Also helped that it adapted quite easily for my favorite instrumentation ever, piano and strings hahaha
When I saw this was finally unveiled I knew I would be heartbroken over how amazing it would sound. This gave me flashbacks to my original playthrough back on the Wii where I fell in love with the game and this song in particular and it always make me cry hearing it. Bravo this was amazing!
awww thank you so, so much for all the kind words!!!!!! That truly means a lot, I know exactly what you mean when it comes to this theme just pulling at the heartstrings, I fell in love with it the first time I played XB on the Wii as well and the menu came on omg
Ahhhhh this arrangement is legendary 😍. I've listened to this 4 times already. It's so good 😭. I love that there's 5 people on strings, it almost sounds like it's played by an orchestra.
AHHH thank you so much!! I could not agree more!!!! once I heard it with bass I was like OK IT'S NEVER NOT GOING TO HAVE BASS LOL i love the depth he adds!!!
Oh wow!!!!! Purpleschala new video in the time line = INSTAT CLICK!!!!! hahahaha.. Everyone did amazing but the girl with the purple curtains was absolutely flawless! Thank you for sharing as always. I adore your playing as always. So subtle and smooth yet powerful. You never outshine your companion's playing and your technique is epic!
HAHAHAHAHA thank you so much for the kind words!! There really is no outshining string playing of this caliber, honestly, I was only too happy to sit back and enjoy it!!! Girl with purple curtains = Patti Rudisill, and we are all highly amused her curtains are gaining renown hahahahaha
You really just fixed my #1 problem with the original piece: it's impossible to listen to it from start to finish on the same volume without either not being able to hear any of the intro or going deaf when they hit that big crescendo. Your cover is great-you don't have to suddenly turn it from 100% volume to 20% halfway through the piece. Very pog
@@monadoboy9639 oh that's absolutely happening, I've actually been retooling my strings/piano arrangement of Agniratha Day while on vacation and waiting on parts to come back for Mor Ardain and Beyond the Sky, so Xenoblade will ALWAYS be happening in the background here hahaha!!
Tears, and Im only 5 seconds in. The opening to this theme hits so hard after playing this game for years. Wonderful cover, thank you so much for this.
Literally crying :’) that was SO BEAUTIFUL This is definitely one of my fave video game music, and you guys elevated the original even further with your playing. Fantastic arrangement!!
Every time I hear the Main Theme, it sends me shivers on how good it is. Now double it with this arrangement. I still look forward for other arrangements/covers, especially from Castlevania SotN, Xenoblade (again lol)
I'M SO HAPPY TO FINALLY BE ABLE TO LISTEN TO THIS AAAAAAA! I was really excited when I found out you and PitTan were working together, especially because it's Xenoblade and I love that OST and I admire you both so much ❤ And the arrangement itself made me very emotional, the performance from all of you is so good! You all inspire me a lot, thank you :)
You have absolutely outdone yourself! The arranging and execution were so beautiful. Everyone was so expressive and really channeled emotion into the tune! Everyone did such a wonderful job!
THANK YOU!!! AND YES. OH YES THERE WILL BE MORE!! some on my channel, and a few on the channels of some of my colleagues playing here, I will keep you all informed! =)
You all did such an incredible job on this! From those first soft notes on piano to the flowing strings in the middle and the calm yet powerful final notes, everything was so perfect! I cannot describe how excited I was to hear this arrangement and it definitely lived up to the hype I had for it!
Here I was feeling sorry for myself that I had to take a late lunch and whatever, but look what I got to watch! Wouldn't have been able to catch this at release otherwise! This is such a gorgeous arrangement and I'm glad that XCDE inspired you to pull these back out, definitely looking forward to anything else that you decide to rework!
Can I buy this piece?! Xenoblade Chronicles is my favorite rpg series, and my second favorite series after Smash Bros, and I want to own a number of pieces from this game! You all performed perfectly! I love the theme for Xenoblade Chronicles! It's been one of my favorites, if not my favorite since playing it the first time on the Wii!
But is Xenoblade Chronicles that good? How do you compare it to Kingdom Hearts? I take it you have played both - not me, just KH. Given your opinion I might give it a go, as I have a Wii.
oh geez they're both so different it's so hard to say. I prefer Xenoblade, but if you have a Switch I HIGHLY recommend playing the Definitive Edition just for the QoL improvements and easy mode since the Wii version can get kinda grindy esp near the end and most people end up rage quitting when the difficulty ramps up. Story and music are top notch! As for KH, I mean...I'm not really a fan of the series, but my kids are. We played the mainline games 1-3, BBS, DDD, and fragmentary passage. My favorite is Birth by Sleep, so i highly recommend giving that one a try. It's hard to jump into the mainline games without having played them all in order and the first one hasn't aged that well in terms of gameplay imo, but you can still enjoy BBS without all of the context of the main story.
@@purpleschala Ah, don't worry. I am a fan of the series and I know all about the lore of it. But I might give Xenoblade a try, I dunno. I'm kinda picky for trying new games, but there's Yoko Shimomura, so that's that. Hahahaha
hi, i love your music! im creating an educational science experiment video, and would like to use your music as bgm. are there copyright restrictions to that?
It’s so relaxing. I can see myself being stuck on the title screen for a long time LOL.
hahahahaha that has been me, many times lol
Nearly every time I boot up the game I watch the title screen all the way through
I did after I beat the game on the Wii! It's such a great game with such a beautiful theme! One of my favorites if not my favorite!
@@benbodnar976 I'm so glad to see someone else that does the same thing! I do that all the time with amazing music like this.
Every single time
Very nice arrangement and playing. Thank you purpleschala for leading and sharing this project, and thank you to the players for the awesome performance :)
thank you Davi!!! they absolutely smashed this. It was so good omg. I am so lucky to know such amazingly talented individuals!!!

One of my favorite xenoblade OST’s made even better 🤩🤩🤩
thank you!!!
This is the best and most faithful cover to the main theme. I can’t even put how beautiful this is into words. Thank you.

Thank you for making my violin scratches less shit everyone
EXCUSE ME SHIT AND YOUR VIOLIN PLAYING DO NOT BELONG IN THE SAME SENTENCE YOU ARE AMAZING!!!! AND I AM SO EXCITED TO DO MORE!!!!
Words cannot express how much gratitude I have for you

@@purpleschala Haha! Can't believe the curtains got the popularity, hehehe!
Super high and tight of a collaboration!
Waaoooooooooaaaaaahahhhh! I’ve never played xenoblade or listened to the OST, but damn, this is beautiful!
it is one of my favorite title themes ever!!! Yoko Shimomura's music absolutely stands on its own!
Definitely one of the best title themes ever made.
Beautifully emotional
Music to make a grown man cry.
This is the collab of the century
You really just fixed my #1 problem with the original piece: it's impossible to listen to it from start to finish on the same volume without either not being able to hear any of the intro or going deaf when they hit that big crescendo.

This was incredible, it had the hair standing up on the back of my arms.
Wonderful
Thank you so much!
A beautiful rendition of a great theme it really takes me to that world
thank you so much!!!!
@@purpleschala yeah seriously this is amazing I hope you can do more songs from the xenoblade franchise
@@monadoboy9639 oh that's absolutely happening, I've actually been retooling my strings/piano arrangement of Agniratha Day while on vacation and waiting on parts to come back for Mor Ardain and Beyond the Sky, so Xenoblade will ALWAYS be happening in the background here hahaha!!
Tears, and Im only 5 seconds in. The opening to this theme hits so hard after playing this game for years. Wonderful cover, thank you so much for this.
omg thank you so much!!! same though, this theme never fails to bring tears to my eyes ugh
This was astounding
thank you so much!!! i am so lucky to know these talented people omg
Omagosh, all those feels. It's amazing just how many feelings those first couple of notes can invoke.
This is so good! I love this so much. They didn't redo the main theme in DE, but if they did, this is what I'd want it replaced with.
they didn't redo most of the cutscene songs
AHH THANK YOU!!!!!
This is excellent. I can't wait for the redo of Agniratha day (which was already really good, just like the original take of this).
thank you so much!!! I am really excited for agniratha as well!! that's one of my oldest arrangements and so I am looking forward to revisiting it!!!
Literally crying :’) that was SO BEAUTIFUL
This is definitely one of my fave video game music, and you guys elevated the original even further with your playing. Fantastic arrangement!!
Sab Irene showed this on her stream a while ago. You all did a great job bringing this song to life!
omg she did!!?!? ahh that was so kind of her!!! Thank you so much!!!
Oh this is so extremely beautiful. Thank you for all this work.
Thank you so much!!!
Every time I hear the Main Theme, it sends me shivers on how good it is. Now double it with this arrangement. I still look forward for other arrangements/covers, especially from Castlevania SotN, Xenoblade (again lol)
AHH THANK YOU!!!
I love this! I hope there can be more collabs for Xenoblade music like this.
Wow speechless. ♥️
A super beautiful emotional take, great team work =3
This is even better than the original! 8O
I'M SO HAPPY TO FINALLY BE ABLE TO LISTEN TO THIS AAAAAAA!
I was really excited when I found out you and PitTan were working together, especially because it's Xenoblade and I love that OST and I admire you both so much ❤

Actually this was composed by Yoko Shimomura! But Mitsuda is absolutely incredible and I love them both! Thank you so much
