I quite literally started playing Xenoblade Chronicles because of the music. I like listening to OST playlists while working, and one day RUclips started automatically playing some Xenoblade mixes. I fell in love with the music and knew that I HAD to play these games to see where those gorgeous and epic tunes came from! So glad I got those random autoplays, because the Xenoblade games are some of the best games I've ever played! Definitely give them a go asap!
Each of the three main games has one song like this, it's consiered the big moment song, the one in 3 (The Weight of Life) actually references both this one and the one from 1 (Engage the Enemy).
While hearing this song without context it's very good but it's incredibly integral to a few pivotal cutscenes/events in the game that is so well done, it will blow you away. Monolith has this crazy ability to make the music mesh so perfectly with the scene, it's hard to describe properly. You should play the game. its outstanding
There's always a track like this in every Xenoblade game. The first game has 'Engage the Enemy'. This one has 'Counterattack'. And the Xenoblade Chronicles 3 has 'The Weight of Life'. Any time you hear these songs in their respective game, it's always during a big pivotal moment. If you get a chance, I highly recommend playing all three games (they are very long and I would recommend taking it slow, but it's worth it). They are fantastic, and the way they utilize the music in the cutscenes is so well done that if you were just told how they use the music without playing the games, you would probably think we were insane.
You said you were looking up amazing Xenoblade music, and so I feel the need to toss out my favorite song in the entire series, which is Drifting Soul from Xenoblade 2. There isn’t a bad song on a single soundtrack in the series though, they’re all incredible.
Literally most of the Xenoblade ost is the best of it haha. There are so many good ones it’s really hard to single out an ultimate best. Xenoblade X, a “spin-off” for the Wii U has a more unique soundtrack to the rest of the main series since it was composed by Hiroyuki Sawano, the composer for AOT. Not everyone’s type of music but you should deff give them a shot. As for the main series, in Xc1-Obstacle in our path, Engage the Enemy, You will Know our names and Mechanical Rhythm are all great energetic non spoilery themes that you should listen to. Xc2-Battle in the Skies above, Incoming, Crossing Swords and You will Recall our Names are the only non spoiler themes I can think of. Xc3 has a lot -Carrying the Weight of Life, Keves Battle, A Formidable Foe, Tactical Action and You will Know our names-finale. There are also more peaceful, emotional themes in Xenoblade, so if you like that kind of music you should also give those a listen
oh now id love to hear you react to new battle!!! from xenoblade chronicles 3 future redeemed or shambala (thunder) from fire emblem 3 houses both go so hard

"Is this supposed to be some sort of boss fight or an emotional cutscene?" Yes...
it's always both

I'll take your word for it!
You're right, it's mainly played during very important action focused cutscenes and contributes to the atmosphere a lot!

Once you start playing the series you can't stop.
Counterattack is great, but Mechanical Rhythm is insane.
Unfinished business is better than mechanical rhythm.

Will take a look!
You were missing out on a lot.
