Given the troubling removal of the Xenoblade Chronicles 3 soundtrack from the NintendoMelody YouTube channel, I am going to temporarily pause the queue while I look into new sources for the tracks that can be re-sourced (which sadly, not all can, NintendoMelody was a bit more exhaustive than a lot of other channels hosting the soundtracks have been).

I hope to have this cleared up in time to reopen the queue before tomorrow so that this doesn't actually delay the bracket, but I cannot make any promises.

My Xenoblade OST Trinity Box Set arrived! It contains 5 OST discs for Xenoblade 1, 6 for Xenoblade 2, and 9 for Xenoblade 3, as well as a booklet containing tracklists, lyrics, credits, and messages from the composers (as well as Tetsuya Takahashi), I am uploading these messages and transcriptions of them for any Xeno fans on here that may be interested in seeing the contents. Let's begin!

Message 01 - ACE (Tomori Kudo)

I first participated in the production of the series with Xenoblade Chronicles, in March of 2009, which is exactly 14 years ago from the time of writing this comment. Thanks to being given the chance to join the project, I was regarded as a "Xenoblade Chronicles Composer" and gradually started gaining recognition. It became a precious project for me as a composer. The first time I really felt this is when I performed music from Xenoblade Chronicles at the video game music orchestral concert "PRESS START." The fans cheered a lot for us.

My creative spirit was kindled every time I read the series' scripts, and I found myself thinking, "wow, this is interesting!" I was always inspired to create new video game music that hadn't been made before (well, "new" within my own range of experience.) As the series piled up with new entries, the music also powered up. We even recorded with an orchestra. Although there was hardship each time, I think I was able to grow alongside the Xenoblade Chronicles series.

I would like to express my gratitude again for being given the opportunity to take part in such a wonderful series. I would be thrilled if everyone enjoyed these musical pieces, while remembering the various scenes in which they were used, for many years to come.

(More messages below the cut)

Message 02 - ACE (CHiCO)

I was deeply moved by the first game's script and vision which went far beyond my imagination, and with the words of the person in charge of the music at the time, "This project will go down in gaming history," I wanted to create music that would overturn the existing "video game sound." It seems like yesterday that I started composing with enthusiasm, and I have constantly taken on many different challenges through my music. I worked so hard that the phrase, "as if my life depended on it," most likely isn't an exaggeration. Before realizing it, it had become a life's work.

In my personal life, I became a mother between Xenoblade Chronicles and Xenoblade Chronicles 2. One month after giving birth, I had the chance to perform the Xenoblade Chronicles portion at the concert called "PRESS START." There are so many things I'd like to say about that busy time; it truly left a deep impression on me.

I would be more than happy if the music I made became someone's enjoyment, thanks to the wonderful Xenoblade Chronicles series.

My childhood dream was to be like Mother Teresa. Though, even if I lived for a thousand years, I'd still be nowhere near her.

I am full of gratitude for the director, the staff at MONOLITHSOFT, Nintendo, Dog Ear Records who reached out to me, everyone at PROCYON STUDIO who produced this CD album and everyone else involved for allowing me to take part until the end of these three entries to the Xenoblade Chronicles series.

Message 03 - Kenji Hiramatsu

Each time I worked on the music of the Xenoblade Chronicles series, I steadily looked for and drew out new sources of creativity within me. To ensure that my music did not get overshadowed by the world of the game, I wanted it to have unprecedented brilliance. Although there were many struggles, I took on the challenge with all my might and somehow reached the end. Like an RPG, the Xenoblade Chronicles series helped me grow immensely.

Looking back at the past three games, I feel that time has really flown by. However, taking part in a series loved even now by many throughout the world and overcoming many hurdles have become a precious treasure to me as a composer! I also treasure the many thoughts and feelings I receive from the fans about my music. These treasures are an important driving force in helping me take on the next challenge.

To be honest, after completely using up all my energy working on Xenoblade Chronicles 3, I feel a little weak. But I think sharing this soundtrack with everyone will become another source of strength for me!

Now that this series has reached one point of closure, it's time for a fresh start! I wonder what kind of sources of creativity I'll find in the future. I hope everyone's looking forward to it!

Message 04 - Manami Kiyota

Ever since I was a child, I wanted to become a composer. Although I somehow found myself debuting as a singer, I was given the opportunity to write music for the Xenoblade Chronicles series.

At first, I think I caused everyone a lot of trouble with all the retakes. When I managed to successfully submit my work and played the game for the first time, I remember how excited I was to hear my music in the game. That said, whenever I play the game, I get so immersed that I forget I created music for it... (laughs)

By the time I started working on the third entry, I feel I had come to understand what my role is in the Xenoblade Chronicles series. I always aim to create music that exists as a sort of atmosphere within the world created by the director and among the visuals, the voice acting, and the sound effects. After playing Xenoblade Chronicles 3, I've been playing Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition, Future Connected, Xenoblade Chronicles 2 and Torna ~ The Golden Country. There are new discoveries and excitements when playing through the series.

I am truly happy to have been able to work on a world I love, the world of the Xenoblade Chronicles series. I'd like to give my heartfelt gratitude to the director, Mr. Takahashi, everyone at MONOLITHSOFT, all the composers, all the staff, and the players who enjoyed the games. Thank you very much.

Message 05 - Yasunori Mitsuda

Having worked with Mr. Takahashi, the director of the series, on numerous projects over the years, starting with Xenogears released in 1998, then Xenosaga Episode I, and then the Xenoblade Chronicles series, he is what I would call a brother in arms and a good friend who fully understands my music. That said, when he contacted me saying, "I want you to work with us on Xenoblade Chronicles," I declined. I felt that the project didn't need me because its fascinating atmosphere and world were already complete. As my own rule, I never decide whether to participate based solely on how much honor or profit I can get. Instead, I always try to consider what kind of "music" and "sound" the game wants and whether it really needs my "color." After he contacted me, I concluded that the game's already-established world didn't need anything new. For that reason, I declined his offer many times.

However, after Mr. Takahashi spoke to me in person and said, "Mitchan (note while writing - this is Mitsuda's nickname,) the series only makes sense if we close Xenoblade Chronicles with your music." I decided to accept his offer, though only the ending theme (I'm weak to heartfelt requests.) After that, I participated in Xenoblade Chronicles 2 and Xenoblade Chronicles 3, and found myself working with him for a very long time. Although the Xenoblade Chronicles series has successfully reached one point of closure this year in 2023, to be honest, I'm still asking myself if there was a meaning in my participation. The answer shouldn't come from me; if fans have been happy throughout the series, I think participating was the right decision. I'd like to express my gratitude to all those who have enjoyed the Xenoblade Chronicles series up until now. Thank you.

Message 06 - Tetsuya Takahashi

I have had few experiences where the word "harmony" has fit so well. I've known Mr. Mitsuda for around 30 years and it has almost been 15 years since I first met each of the other Xenoblade Chronicles composers. I suspect it's due to the accumulation of a decade and a half, but it was easy to imagine the kind of music I would receive in return to any request I made. And the music that I received far exceeded my expectations.

Looking back, when working on Xenoblade Chronicles it's true that I was fumbling to find each composer's expertise as I sent out orders for the music. However, that was only until halfway through. In the latter half of development, I personally remember there being considerably less trial and error. Most importantly, the composers were so passionate that I thought preserving that passion, without tampering with this or that, would be the best way to reach the players.

After going through that process, I felt I had a lot of leeway when working on Xenoblade Chronicles 2. This was largely thanks to Mr. Mitsuda, who doubled as music producer. From small matters to more important ones, he listened to my various thoughts and also gave me a lot of advice. I was able to use that leeway to spend more time thinking about the overall direction and mechanism of the music.

Speaking of mechanisms, the incorporation of a jazz-style atmosphere in Torna ~ The Golden Country is fresh in my mind. While the main reason for it was simply because I liked an American film I watched in 2015 titled Whiplash, there wasn't enough time to implement it in the main game, and considering the flow from the music in Xenoblade Chronicles, I decided it would be too abrupt so I incorporated it in the additional story rather than the main game. Considering each composer's style, I was confident that it would go well and was very happy with the result.

And then, Xenoblade Chronicles 3. There waiting, cultivated over time, was peace of mind and a sense of trust. This is what I mean by "harmony."

While also feeling apologetic, I'd like to express my gratitude to the composers for sticking with me without getting discouraged by my selfishness over the past a5 years (twice as long for Mr. Mitsuda.)

To all the composers, thank you!

And that's it, these are the six messages included in the booklet contained with the Trinity Box Set, hopefully this has been insightful and entertaining for anyone reading, and I hope you enjoyed reading it, I'm glad to have been able to post these online for all to see. Thanks!

Xenosaga Fan Translates Full Playthrough of Canonical Phone Game, Pied Piper

Noisy Pixel Source. Possible Spoilers for Xenoblade Chronicles 3 below.

To celebrate the 19th anniversary of the largely unknown Xenosaga: Pied Piper, fan @ValakTurtle has announced that they have translated an entire playthrough of the game on YouTube by @Keju_frangelico. Additionally, “the translation was built on top of Chaoslace’s original translation that was hosted on Zarathustra.”

The script was previously translated, but an in-game translation was absent.

For those unaware, Xenosaga: Pied Piper is a canonical entry in the series that is essentially required reading to fully understand and appreciate the events of Xenosaga Episode III. Given the title’s exclusive presence on mobile phones plus its lack of official localization, it’s not really known by those who haven’t played the Xenosaga games.

In fact, while it has been over a decade since I last played Xenosaga, I (think?) I remember Episode III trying to recap the events of Piped Piper because it is actually significant. As a result, it’s recommended to check out Pied Piper after playing Xenosaga Episode II, despite it taking place roughly a century before the events of the first game.

Piped Piper is arguably more vital to experience than Xenosaga: A Missing Year, which connects Xenosaga Episode II and Episode III.

If you’re a Xenosaga fan and have never delved into Pied Piper, this is a pretty fantastic way to do so. Honestly, huge thanks to @ValakTurtle for deciding to translate this playthrough with English captions. It even appears they’ve translated the menus during battles, which is a pretty intense and intricate step.

You can check out the full Xenosaga: Pied Piper playthrough playlist here or start watching the first episode below:

Earlier this year, fans united for G-MODE Archives to officially re-release Piped Piper.

Speaking of Xenosaga, the conclusion of the Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Future Redeemed storyline has seemingly opened up the possibility of a Xenosaga revival or continuation.

[asherisawkward]

What would Belos think of Amalthus? Btw, Amalthus is a character from Xenoblade Chronicles 2 :3

I think that Philip would be somewhat prejudiced towards him due to his non-human origins and general concern about his intentions. After all, Amalthus has periods where he resents the world and the cruelty in it, and Philip would fear that he will use his power to get rid of humanity. Considering that is what his goals eventually become, Philip would feel no choice but to attempt to bring about Amalthus’ demise, though he would need to be incredibly clever and precise to do so. He may attempt to utilize a sigil the way he did to the witches and demons of the Boiling Isles in hopes of draining the source of his strength and leaving him easy (or easier) to defeat.

Addressing Nintendo's disastrous E3 2015 Digital Event fiasco - A decade later...

It was 2015, and handheld gaming was my only go-to source of spending time playing anywhere to my heart's desire. While it was the exact year Back to the Future's prediction about flying cars, self lacing shoes and hoverboards never happened (No hard feelings to Robert Zemeckis) and Slayer released its final album Repentless before their reunion came to light, there was one disaster that made Nintendo fans extraordinarily mad: the E3 2015 Digital Event.

This may trigger those reading this post, so I plan to lay off the pros and the cons revolving the presentation that took place when E3 was slain by direct-to-video features and stay at home orders. Unless you're ready, hit the jump!

Pros - Shigeru Miyamoto's puppetry is noted as a nice touch to his likeliness and appearance, standing out against the other two. Yo-Kai Watch was introduced to western players, despite the fact some diehard Pokémon fans stated it as a rip-off. Luckily, I still own a copy of Yo-Kai Watch 3 under the Sukiyaki moniker. This means I never got around to play the game, so I'd rather wait till I get a break from animating in my office next year. Xenoblade Chronicles X (or Xenoblade X elsewhere...) was shown before the Nintendo Switch arrived to save it from being botched up as a Wii branded disaster. Happy Home Designer, a spin-off of the original Animal Crossing series, paved the ways of allowing players to customize and figure out where to place furniture upon requests of many villagers and other special characters using amiibo figures and cards. Oh, and that Donkey Kong amiibo based on his guest appearance in Skylanders? Incredibly wacky. Same for Diddy, except he's only attached to him.

Cons - Star Fox Zero caused so much backlash for the use of forced motion controls without any actual buttons and sticks involved; Federation Force led so much dedicated Metroid fans to have a meltdown over the involvement of Next Level Games before deciding to make Samus the villain; amiibo Festival made it even worse; Mario Tennis Ultra Smash destroyed the importance of playing tennis; the ending of Super Mario Maker with Let's Super Mario made no sense until the Nintendo 3DS saved the game just like the Switch did with Xenoblade Chronicles X; prioritizing Fire Emblem as a means of retconning Hiroshi Yamauchi's golden legacy and made Lans G. the face of Nintendo. I won't say his name here, so I'll keep it to myself.

The main reason why I made this post is to address something what had happened. Looking back at the disaster that's Nintendo's E3 2015 Digital Event, perhaps we owe mariotehplumber a great, big apology. Why? He was right about all the things he straight up exposed until hardcore gamers found out over the sick truth. You may call mariotehplumber a troll, but after hearing what Nintendo has already become, we all gotta suck it up and make do. The company can be greedy at times, but as a freelancer myself, I'd never become friends with big ones.

You can try to deny, spin, damage control or even consider calling me out for the post I made with vulgar and obscene responses. The facts are facts; there's no point of getting around it. The E3 2015 Digital Event was a major flop, and it always will be. Maybe as a Nintendo fan when you decide to wake up in the morning and realize you made a mistake of supporting Lans G. for his BS excuses and terrible business decisions before picking up the pieces and do something incredibly new for once, it might be resurrected. But history shows it'll never happen again.

[pindagreat]

Hi, I'm Very Normal about xenoblade lore. Allow me to add some clarification.

The birth parent clause is EXTREMELY wacky for blades.

They have a life cycle where they are awoken by a driver from their core crystal. The blade and driver fight alongside one another, until the driver dies, and the blade returns to its core crystal. After they return to their core crystal, all of their memories are wiped, and after a time they can be awoken by a new driver.

Because of this, blades often think of themselves as different people with every new awakening. Them losing their memories is tantamount to death, and is a source of angst for many characters.

Since a blade reawakening is seen by the characters within the story as a form of birth, then depending on their driver's gender, they would apply for the birth parent clause, and it is possible for different awakenings of the same blade to apply or not apply for that clause.

I may also add that blades reproduce through a very weird form of asexual reproduction, where after many reawakenings, they become a titan, and titans make new core crystals, which could make the birth parent for a blade unclear. I would personally elect to consider blades as having two birth parents: Their driver, and the titans they were born from.

Titans are sexless, and most don't seem to have an internal concept of gender at all, which could apply almost every blade for the birth parent clause if you consider the titan who made their core crystal as a birth parent. However, it's impossible to know which titan a blade was born from because the blade-titan life cycle happens really, really slowly. We've seen multiple blades go through 500 years worth of awakenings and not become titans yet.

There is also the matter of Malos, the blade who the ask was about in the first place. Malos, Pyra, and Mythra are a unique exception. They are part of the trinity processor, a supercomputer made of 3 artificial intelligences made by a bunch of unnamed scientists in Xenoblade 2's distant past.

The trinity processors were not core crystals, but Amalthus awakening the purple one as if it were a core crystal made Malos, a blade that is also a walking exception every rule about blades, known as an Aegis. Mythra was then awoken in a similar manner by Addam, and became the second Aegis, and she's a further exception because of Pyra.

Because of this, Malos has both Amalthus and the unnamed scientists as birth parents, Mythra has Addam and the unnamed scientists as birth parents, and Pyra has Mythra as a birth parent.

TL:DR

Malos from Xenoblade Chronicles 2 applies for the Birth Parent Clause, and Unconventional Birth Clause

And any other blade form xenoblade Chronicles 2 applies for the Unconventional Birth Clause regardless of any circumstance, as well as Gender Clause depending on their own gender, and Birth Parent Clause, depending on the gender of their driver and the titan that made their core crystal.

could Malos from Xenoblade Chronicles 2 kill Macbeth? what about other male Blades? (such as Aegaeon or Jin)

(not worrying about female Blades or Roc since the gender clause would apply)

Yes, Malos (and all other Blades) from Xenoblade Chronicles 2 could kill Macbeth!

All Blades come from a Driver resonating with a Core Crystal (quote form the wiki: "Drivers can resonate with Core Crystals by touching them to create and awaken Blades"), which applies them for the Unconventional Birth Clause, and possibly Birth Parent Clause depending on the identity of the Driver. Also, Roc and any female Blades (i.e. Pyra and Mythra) apply for the Gender Clause.

Now, I could have... COMPLETELY misinterpreted this, and please let me know if I did. I found the wiki pretty difficult to understand and navigate, and I think this is what it's trying to say, but I've never played or seen the game and so my insight here is very limited. So, again, please let me know if this judgement is inaccurate or requires more nuance.

Thank you for your submission!
