Xenoblade OST – Into Deadlands… – Night
In the Fallen Land… / NightKiyota Manami

This song really evokes a hopeless, utterly irredeemable situation.

It makes me feel kind of sad… That kind of tragedy, where even a helping hand can no longer reach, is almost a staple in games.

And maybe it’s precisely those sad moments that make a work truly memorable.

This track could be called the essential BGM for scenes like that.

The majestic sound arrangement is simply overwhelming.

The existence of the Bionis is crucial to Xenoblade’s story.

It has the weight perfectly suited to that scene where the very world—the sort of field map the protagonists have been journeying across—gains a will of its own and begins to move.

You can feel the tension and power from the music itself.

A common thread throughout the Xenoblade series is that everything operates on a grand scale, and this piece is exactly that.

This song feels like the clouds are clearing to reveal a bright sky.

You can almost imagine light streaming through the breaks in the clouds, right? As it goes on, the way it becomes more rhythmic is wonderfully pleasant to listen to.

Intense game music is cool too, but hearing a gentle track like this is comforting, isn’t it? It feels like coming home.

Satorl Marsh at nightKiyota Manami

This is the enchanting BGM that plays at night in the area called “Satorl Marsh.” Countless fans have been surprised by the stark contrast between the gentle mood of the track and the strength of the enemies.

The sparkling piano tones and choral work are truly soothing.

The composition is by Ami Kiyota, a musician from Yamanashi Prefecture.

As the title suggests, it’s a masterpiece you’ll want to listen to at night.

Xenoblade OST – Escape Boat Camping
Escape Pod CampKiyota Manami

This is the BGM used in the “Escape Pod Camp” area on the Bionis’ Leg.

The sound balances warmth and poignancy, and the moderate tempo makes it something you can listen to endlessly without getting bored.

Since the Escape Pod Camp is often a place where you end up spending a lot of time, the track was likely made to be enjoyable on repeat.

It’s also perfect as background music for studying or other tasks.
