It has a cheerful tone! This is also a kayōkyoku-style BGM that strongly emphasizes the character, using Japanese-style scales and instruments.

It’s used in Episode 4’s Sakura battle, Episode 6’s G-Sakura battle, and the showdown with the Great Leader, Dawn.

The uplifting percussion is a distinctive feature.

After Despair and Hope (Final Boss Theme) – Xenoblade Chronicles 2 OST [089]

This is the battle BGM used for the final boss fight in the last episode.

It begins with a divine, operatic chorus and shifts into orchestral and hard rock—a ballad that evolves over time.

It perfectly sets the mood for the ultimate showdown.

The piano solo in the latter half is beautiful as well.

It’s a beloved BGM that’s essential to the RPG atmosphere!
