     @Curvin Come one. It sounds like a high school band is playing that garbage.

     @Curvin My whole Fedi account is themed around Mor Ardain because of that track. Xenoblade 2 has the best video game OST ever and I'm pretty sure I've mentioned that on here a few times.

     @ignika98 @Curvin Every single Xenoblade OST is elite. It's tough to put Future Redeemed ahead given its shorter length. I'm comparing 3 + FR to 2 + Torna and I give the edge to 2. 3's area themes were comparatively lacking, and even though Future Redeemed fixed that 2 nailed pretty much everything musically.

     @ChristiJunior @Curvin @ignika98 Torna's themes are solid if a bit subdued. And the Gormott remix is really good but it's not the same without the chorus. The main thing is that XB2 really hit all kinds of tracks well, while Xenoblade 3 leaned hard into sad/emotional music and didn't have much in the way of upbeat stuff. Obviously that was justified given the nature of the game, but I still prefer 2 because it hit the sad songs well in combination with the upbeat stuff.

     @ArdainianRight @ignika98 @Curvin Even Torna was lacking in terms of brand *new* area themes (I still maintain that its Gormott remix is superior to the original, but Torna's own Titan theme is mid at best by Xenoblade standards). Both of the major new area themes in Future Redeemed are by contrast absolutely fantastic, and would have been standouts in any Xeno game. Also, hearing so many of Xenoblade 3's best songs during the course of a comparatively short adventure brings home how stacked that game's soundtrack actually was, even if Xenoblade 2 still has the edge overall.

     @ChristiJunior @Curvin @ignika98 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gv5CifO4KtA The OST is so amazing and deep that they can put out a music video for this ish and it still gets overshadowed.

     @ChristiJunior @Curvin @ignika98 Mor Ardain pumps itself up as a mighty military empire in spite of its weaknesses, so the theme still fits.

     @ArdainianRight @Curvin @ignika98 Xenoblade 3 certainly succeeds in having the most melancholy atmosphere of any fantasy JRPG I've played since Final Fantasy VII (not counting post-apocalyptic stuff like SMTV, obviously). And while FF VII's atmosphere is more overtly Oppressive (fitting, given Shinra's blatant iron grip on the world), XB3's is more subdued and sad, like something is fundamentally wrong with the world, you just don't know why.
     
     Still, thematic consistency can only take you so far. Arguably, Mor Ardain's upbeat, energized theme is less the fitting for a dying, polluted wasteland - but the song is so damn good that it doesn't even matter.

     @ArdainianRight @Curvin @ignika98 Kinda seems to apply to just Alba Cavanich, not the actual Titan's wasteland (Roaming the Wastes is literally the song's title), but again, it doesn't really matter. If you're a teacher giving your student an assignment to write about his vacation, and he instead writes the next Great American Novel, would you really complain about that outcome?

     @ChristiJunior @Curvin @ignika98 We have too many desolate desert themes. A different spin on it is welcome.
