[Xenoblade BGM] Iconic and Popular Tracks from the Xenoblade Series (1–10)
Confrontation with the enemyACE+
This is the BGM used in an event movie.
As the title suggests, it plays during a scene where the characters confront an enemy.
The piano and strings express the protagonists’ emotions, while the electric guitar conveys the enemy’s feelings.
Its dramatic structure fits the event scene perfectly, making it one of the most popular pieces among Xenoblade tracks.
Main themeShimomura Yoko / Narita Tsutomu
This is the piece that plays on Xenoblade’s title screen.
It was composed by Yoko Shimomura, a musician from Hyogo Prefecture.
It begins with a beautiful piano tone and builds more and more toward the latter half, conveying the grand scale of Xenoblade’s world.
Although it only plays once in the game, it serves as the BGM for an important event, so many of you may find it has left a lasting impression.
Those who bear the nameACE+
This is the BGM that plays when you fight unique monsters or bosses in the game.
Its foundation is guitar rock, but combined with the strings, it has a dramatic finish.
It’s insanely cool! Since it plays during battles with powerful monsters, I’m sure many people have strong memories of it.
The video is a studio live version.
Definitely give it a watch—you’ll end up loving this track even more.
Rhythm of the LoomACE+
This is the battle BGM for an area called the Mechonis, which you visit from the mid-game onward.
The hard rock sound is stylish and cool.
The relentless double kick on the bass drum is irresistible.
It’s one of the most popular tracks among Xenoblade fans.
The video is a studio live version—if you play guitar, it might make you want to try it yourself.
Those who block the wayACE+
This is the boss battle BGM.
The heavy rhythm and tense mood really get you fired up.
It stirs up your fighting spirit.
It’s also used in Super Smash Bros.
for Wii U, so many of you have probably heard it before.
The track was produced by ACE+, the music team responsible for many pieces in Xenoblade.
Feelings kept within…ACE+
This track is the BGM used in Xenoblade during scenes like the conversation between Melia and Kallian inside the Bionis.
I bet a lot of people get teary-eyed when they hear it, as it brings back memories of the game’s story.
It’s not only highly regarded within Xenoblade, but also widely praised as a tear-jerker across video game BGM as a genre.
Just listening to it makes you feel a pang of sadness, doesn’t it?
Machine God Realm FieldACE+
The BGM that plays in the in-game area “Mechonis Field.” Mechonis Field is a map made entirely of machinery, and this track likewise uses plenty of synth sounds that evoke machines.
It begins with a fantastical, inorganic intro, but as more rhythmic instruments come in, it shifts into a funky beat that feels like the pulsing of ether.
