    Trying to find the tune that plays when you talk with your companions and it gives a feeling of deepening bonds between your friends and comrades.

      You might be looking for the first song in this video, which is titled "NEMOUSU秘OUS (Section 2)"? It plays for a lot of quests during conversations with other characters

    This video is version 2.0 of my very first playlist - full details on that are in the description! :)
    Xenoblade Chronicles X’s soundtrack is notoriously strange. It’s a game full of wonder, with magical area themes and epic battle themes, yet also contains some unusual creative decisions regarding its sound, like the infamous vocals in New LA or the bitcrunch of Cauldros.
    Rather than dismissing those peculiarities, I think if you give them a chance, they will really grow on you over time. For me, these songs play a huge role in making X’s soundtrack truly one of a kind.
    In this video I wanted to highlight some of X’s songs that I think are weird yet amazing, and also pick out a selection that is overall under-appreciated. Hope you enjoy! :)

      Wait, people dislike cauldros' bitcrunch? I've always loved it

      @@ben5424 It's possible the dislike for it isn't as widespread as I thought, but I've definitely heard people voice that opinion. Personally, I think it works pretty well in-game, but outside the game not so much. I think I'm just used to it at this point, but it can be a bit jarring. It makes me wonder whether the Cauldros music is not more popular because people can't get past the bitcrunch. Cauldros' music is so good otherwise that I can't think of any other reason

    The Telethia battle theme is so slept on, I think it's just so incredibly unique especially with the buildup and it is, in my opinion, one of Sawano's best "grand battle"-style tracks. But I never really see anyone mention it, so thank you for including it in this video!

      I absolutely agree! Everything about that battle was incredible, from the boss design to the setting to the level of challenge. And the music is just perfect. As you said, nailing that “grand battle” style, it’s one of the most epic songs in the series imo. After what we see of the Telethia in the main story, and the magical ascent to find the Telethia in its home, they set that battle up really well, and the Endbringer really lived up to the hype!

    OMG YES!!! I love the ocean themes! Such a shame you rarely go to the ocean... Really wish there was more to do than get some treasure and collectables.

    I was not expecting another XCX video so soon, I'm really happy to have another assorted selection.
    In all honesty, this Soundtrack just has too many different tracks that burnt themselves into my memory, It must be incredibly hard to pick some of them over another.

    Hiroyuki Sawano is simply a genius, so hearing lesser known bangers by him is always welcome!

    Sick compilation, I love your videos! XCX is a hidden gem that I can’t stop playing and seeing people talk about it always makes my day! Love the art for this video too, where did you get it from?

      I bought this to build my Wii U library the other Christmas and 106 hours in. Not a moment of regret. Seems I also made the right decision to start the Xenoblade saga with X, since there seemed to be backlash about this game after 1.
