Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition is almost here, so what better time to dive into this musically fascinating “side” tale from 2015? Many fans were surprised that the first Xenoblade Chronicles was not followed by a “2” (though that happened later), but by Xenoblade Chronicles X. The name and looks alone made it clear this was a different beast: XCX features some now-familiar Xenoblade components and scale, but the more “worldly” nature of its story outside of the “main” plot thread was almost as divisive as its soundtrack to some players.
When your first game features music by Yoko Shimomura, ACE+, Manami Kiyota, and Yasunori Mitsuda, pivoting soundtrack duties to “Attack on Titan guy,” Hiroyuki Sawano, makes people take notice. The whole Xenoblade series is packed with unforgettable music, but there’s no denying that none of them sound quite like the sometimes weird, often catchy, and above all, wholly unexpected, Xenoblade Chronicles X.
