Tiger! Tiger! A – Xenoblade Chronicles 2 OST [104]

This track, which plays during an in-game minigame, is characterized by its light, rhythmic tempo.

Its sound design perfectly suits a retro 8-bit arcade game style, energizing the player’s actions.

Composed by Aimi Kiyota, it is included on the soundtrack for Xenoblade Chronicles 2, released in 2017.

The piece charms with a nostalgic atmosphere that matches the game’s content, evoking a sense of old-school familiarity while carrying an energetic tone that fits fast-paced action.

It’s a recommended listen for fans of retro games and action alike.

Xenoblade Chronicles 2 – OST “Elpis Ruins”

I imagine most players were most impressed by how it was used in the Elpis Ruins.

It’s also used in Episode 1’s Uzushio and inside the Arkadia Colossus in Episode 5.

The mysterious chorus and the simple, beautiful piano—perhaps a touch unique to a female composer? It’s lovely.

Xenoblade OST – Saihate Village

Village and town themes in games are often so comforting, aren’t they? This track is no exception—it’s very soothing.

It has that calm, coming-home-to-your-parents’ house kind of feeling.

There’s a strong sense of security, and I can picture you as the player really relaxing and taking a deep breath.

It has a slightly folk-like vibe and feels very reassuring.

Doesn’t it make you feel as if you’re being gently rocked in a cradle?

Xenoblade OST – Xanthe

It’s a mystical intro with a futuristic-sounding texture and something like a chorus, right? And then midway through, the mood suddenly shifts—doesn’t it make your heart race? Games are supposed to get your heart pumping, and this track takes that feeling to the next level.

The striking, super-cool chorus really stands out.

It gives you chills, doesn’t it?

Xenoblade OST – Maracuna Woods

As the title suggests, it’s a track brimming with wildness.

This game has a lot of grim scenes, but I remember this one piece being strangely soothing.

It’s such a calming song.

The percussion nicely evokes a primitive atmosphere, while the piano, in contrast, gives it a touch of civilization.

ancient ship

This is the BGM that plays on one of the maps in Xenoblade Chronicles 2, the Ancient Ship.

Since the Ancient Ship is an area you explore early in the game, players who have played it may find the track quite memorable.

It’s an arrangement that conveys a mystical atmosphere.

The composer is Aimi Kiyota, a composer who is also active as a radio personality.
