[Xenoblade BGM] Masterpieces and Popular Tracks from the Xenoblade Series

Nintendo’s popular title Xenoblade is not only an outstanding game in its own right, but the music that plays in-game is truly cool as well.

The Xenoblade series is widely acclaimed for its music, and official soundtracks have been released.

In this article, I’ll introduce the BGM from the very first Xenoblade, which was released for the Wii in 2010!

From hard rock-style tracks to grand and beautiful orchestral arrangements, we’ll look at memorable songs that brought the story to life.

I think both those who have played the game and those who haven’t will enjoy this!

[Xenoblade BGM] Masterpieces and Popular Tracks from the Xenoblade Series (21–30)

Valak Snowy Mountains / NightACE+

Xenoblade OST – Snowy Mt. Valac – Night
Valak Snowy Mountains / NightACE+

Even if you’ve never played Xenoblade, listening to this track will probably conjure up a bleak, snowy mountain landscape.

Snowy mountains at night are pretty dangerous, not just in games but in real life too.

Maybe that’s why the whole piece feels so tense.

I get the sense the music contains elements of nature’s power—the danger, the fragility, all of that.

Makna ForestKiyota Manami

Xenoblade OST – Maracuna Woods
Makna ForestKiyota Manami

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.

Escape Pod CampKiyota Manami

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.

Prologue AShimomura Yoko / Narita Tsutomu

This is the BGM used in the first half of Xenoblade’s opening cinematic.

It’s crafted with a grand tone that matches the game’s world, so I imagine many listeners felt excited about what kind of journey was about to begin.

The orchestral sound has a powerful, almost Hollywood-like quality.

It’s a track that even people who haven’t played Xenoblade can enjoy.

Xenoblade 3: A New Tale — [new battle!!]
New Battle!!!Hiramatsu Kenji

An orchestral piece where fiery fighting spirit blazes! Composed by Kenji Hiramatsu, this is the battle-scene BGM from Xenoblade Chronicles 3: Future Redeemed.

Its youthful sound arrangement shines as drums and guitar inject dynamism into the majestic resonance of strings and brass.

Carrying on the lineage of the series’ standard battle themes, its passionate sonic character ramps up the tension! Highly recommended when you want to boost your motivation!
