You may notice that some of the video titles and composer info are different from before. Copyright data containing official tracks titles have been uploaded by the composers for XC3 and so I am updating the videos to match the official soundtrack. You can find the old title in the description under the track info section just in case you want to know what the track title used to be named and avoid any confusion. You can also read more about copyright data here: www.reddit.com/r/Xenoblade_Chronicles/comments/xukhmo/weve_probably_got_every_official_xc3_music_track/

Never played Xenoblade in my life. Not even a single game. But when I heard the Game Awards Orchestra play Xenoblade 3, I was thinking how tf it didn't win best score & music awards. It was easily the best

[@CloisteredExplorer]

Legit though. I'm personally a huge fan of the series. Hearing it in contrast to all the other songs really does highlight just how distinct the musical style is for the series and only made me appreciate it more. This isn't to downplay any of the other soundtracks in any way either. But there aren't too many games that distinguish themselves quite as much as this series does musically. The composers do a great job at crafting an identity for these games.

[@eeeeggnog._.]

[@nowun6043]

YES, I’m glad I’m not the only one that noticed it. This combined with the developer’s recent comments have me wondering if they’re finally going to continue the X storyline and tie it all together

[@skyeguy7914]

Wait until you reach the endgame, and find out the true nature of everything that’s going on.

[@apachers2807]

Oh my god I fucking love Xenoblade Chronicles 3

[@Bylethisop]

The real winner was the flute guy

[@rikuriku1645]

The real winner was The Weight of Life.

[@SpicyInk]

Almost been a year since the game awards and still think that it's a crime this didn't win

[@hairora]

We were robbed in the OST department. It's alright though, I know in my heart XC3 had the best OST no matter what some "judges" say.

[@LiteralCringe]

Honestly, this song deserves it's own segment in the Game Awards like they do with a few games sometimes, hearing only a part of this does not do the song justice...

[@migu6528]

I just hope they start at 2:45 and go til the end it would be a great finisher for the medley.

[@ktli5648]

Guess what :)

[@zaxtonhong3958]

3:35-3:59

[@mattiatonel7547]

Aaaand they nailed it

[@senko69]

Congrats

[@J2ojuiced95]

It’s a shame this OST was snubbed at The Game Awards. Hopefully the amazing rendition of this track and that great flute player Pedro Eustache, will inspire more people to check out this amazing OST and hopefully play the game.

[@matthewlasalvia7026]

How the hell did this lose “Best Score” to God of War: Ragnarok?!

[@littledonut99]

Only thing I know is lot of the music is ambience for the game.

[@torav8343]

While robbed of a well desvered soundtrack win it got the greatest win ever with the absolute legend flute guy

It wasn't robbed at all LMAO.

This better play at the Game awards orchestra!

[@aresmikhail7126]

They made it to game awards and I'm happy to hear this with Pedro goated the flute part. 69420/10

[@DistantKingdom]

You could tell this won just by comparing the game awards medley lol. criminal robbery!

[@christinedelire3974]

People say that Xenoblade got robbed by God Of War Ragnarok and Lord of the Rings but Pedro Eustache (flute guy) has made it wall worth it in 20 seconds (the guitar was nice too though)!

[@loganthevillager9176]

3:36 This is where Pedro/Flute Guy at the Game Awards went HARD!

[@fz4178]

Happy Anniversary, XC3!! 🎉 A big thank you to Monolith Soft for making this game an amazing end to the trilogy/Klaus saga... and for the game's banging OST!

[@SPE1S]

This is definitely not the end, at least 1 more part of the series will be released

[@fz4178]

@SPE1S Oh, for sure!! Having read quite a few fellow Xenoblade fans' comments over the past many months online about it, there is no doubt in my mind that we get another Xeno(blade) game in some form or fashion from Monolith! I eagerly await the day where they release even the slightest teaser or hint of info about the new Xeno game (as I am sure all of us do)!! In my earlier comment, I meant that XC3 was a wonderful conclusion to the Klaus saga storyline in particular (dealing with the consequences of Professor Klaus' experiment with the Conduit), covered in the trilogy starting from XC1. I believe Takahashi himself said that according to a quote I recall. Sorry if my previous comment did not seem clear about that! I still appreciate your reply! :)

[@theswagatron]

the best in my heart

[@arctohru]

Your heart is correct

[@hammerbro2833]

WE WERE ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOBBED

[@SvanEsch123]

No but you don’t understand. Tears were falling freely while I watched the first cutscene this played in. They weren’t sad or happy tears per se, there were just so many different emotions inside me when I watched this cutscene that I just had no choice but to cry.

[@game-enjoyer13]

I love the motifs of Engage the Enemy and Counterattack in this song.

[@rolo2568]

Like the very start

[@LiamGers-cx1kn]

Western media REALLY hates video game music if this got snubbed at the Game Awards. 😡

[@SpaceEarthEX1724]

Its so beautiful that this track contains 2 small motifs: Engage the Enemy (XCDE) and Counterattack (XC2)

[@3abdooogamer734]

Also a life sent on

[@kylecook9864]

They couldn’t have chosen a more perfect scene to introduce this song in the game then what we got. It just went hand in hand.

[@Diamond_V_Blitz]

Wait when DOES it play??

I have never played a Xenoblade chronicles game but this might be my first thanks to epic flute guy!

[@Jacob_G9]

The Fact that after the show everyone was like "Why Didn't Xenoblade 3 win" AND "holy shit Flute Guy Peak" Just show's that even though we lost, They know us.

[@Dragon-cp7gt]

Played by The Game Awards Orchestra

[@lr4164]

3:11 onward would be a perfect way to end the Game Awards Orchestra.

[@masu5781]

Or 2:55. Could you imagine if the stage went black and then the light opened up on two flute players? I would actually die of hype

[@martin4629]

This soundtrack losing to GOW: Ragnarok (even Elden Ring or Metal: Hellsinger would have been more acceptable) is proof enough that the Game Awards are just a popularity contest and aren't worth jack shit.

[@realkingofantarctica]

Who cares if the game didn't win anything at the VGA's. There are plenty of other game awards happening, and more importantly, _we_ know how good it is.

[@21minute]

Fingers crossed it will be nominated and win something at DICE and GDC.

[@Justforvisit]

Oh there IS but one important thing to care about from the 2022 Game Awards: We know can be fully assured that it's an even that belongs in the dustbin.

[@styraxx]

Played this when 12:00am hit. 1:19 Happy new year! Love XC

I know some people gonna search xenoblade 3 flute guy song

The TCNick3 Swap Stars play... One of the most tense moments in the history of the Party Crashers.

[@Carito-000]

The 3 times this song is used are some of the absolute best cutscenes in the whole franchise, that scene where this played in the dlc was AMAZING

[@antariksh8690]

Flute guy carried the Xenoblade Chronicles 3 in GOTY Awards.

[@SM-bo9zl]

I don’t even play Xenoblade but the music goes so hard at the game awardw

WHY DIDNT THEY USE THIS MORE??? ITS MY FAVOURITE TRACK IN THE GAME DESPITE HOW UNDERUSED IT IS

[@Siriusangelhowler]

Because it makes it even more special when it shows up

[@ItsKy99]

When Noah smashes the first flame clock while this plays in the background...so fuckin RAW

[@aylinilya.]

@@Siriusangelhowler I wish they used it at the end of the game, and I wish there was a full cgi cutscene of them fighting Z with the weight of life in the background.

[@niblet8308]

@@Siriusangelhowler did it even show up a single time after the O&P fight though

[@meafius]

It is a little disappointing, but it makes sense it only gets used twice. Each scene it shows up in is one of the biggest (if not the biggest) scene for one of the protagonists.
