SPOILERS Part of the tragedy of the Mechonis’ destruction is simply losing access to some of the best music in the game

[@ontos3444]

Wish they retconned it in NG+ like how they retconned Torna being bad guys in XC2 NG+

[@lordofhostsappreciator3075]

So true

[@Skye_Spiral]

And also losing access to some of the best views, as well.

[@NuiYabuko]

It would've been great if the Nopon Sage granted you access to now inaccessible areas. Even if you'd have to win or buy the ability to access them. XC2 definitely did it better. There's only one area that becomes completely inaccessible and the game warns you when it happens, so you can decide to not save and go back to check if you haven't missed something.

[@KairuHakubi]

just part of what makes it so great.. the whole early part of the game you're like YEAH GO KILL THOSE METAL BASTARDS and.. you got your damn wish.

[@maxg2335]

Taking down Magestic Mordred in an epic chain attack combo while being a level lower was so satisfying. This games combat is exhilarating, especially when the plan of attack comes together perfectly.

[@kingarth0r]

that guy is a pushover if you use the cheese strats tho lol. But I do agree with you

[@ramahermawan4598]

That damn gigantic Mechon? It's too powerful for me. I even had a hard time fighting Beautiful Vagul.

[@maxg2335]

@@ramahermawan4598 Do some quests to level up, equip Dunban with a bunch of agility boosting gems, equip all of Sharla's healing arts. I remember he was immune to break and topple, however if you keep using moves of the same colour in a chain attack you'll get damage multipliers. E.g. Sharla's headshot --> Dunban's Gale slash --> Shulks backslash. Using a talent art also counts as any colour and it can be followed with a different colour too. Meaning you can have a combo of red followed by a talent art and the combo can continue with pink arts despite starting with red. Equipping tension up gems to the other characters should help with getting a long chain attack going.

[@joecool4872]

@@maxg2335 I see you use Sharla too. I agree with people that she's the worst character, but she can be very useful in tough battles against higher level enemies when you need healing desperately. If she had a half decent talent art I'd probably use her a lot more tbh lol, but she has her uses

[@maxg2335]

Joe Cool Honestly I always found the game didn’t have a worst party member, I used her a bunch on this playthrough (4th time playing the game) and there’s multiple powerful monsters I wouldn’t have defeated if I didn’t have her keeping everyone alive. I beat a level 86 monster at level 78 with Dunban as the main attacker and Sharla keeping him alive. I dunno, I find her underrated. Also her insta kill headshot attack has saved me from really long fights on multiple occasions AND she can inflict both Break and Daze, get some one who can inflict topple and assuming the RNG works for you (which it did often enough for me) enemies can easily be vulnerable to a headshot.

[@wesleydamaschino8047]

Music tracks with a heavy emphasis on strings or brass suffer the most when synthesized. This is one of those tracks, and it was always destined to be orchestrated one day.

[@jogymogy3691]

Very true. I feel the same way. Xenoblade ever suffered from fake orchestra, despite it's great soundtrack. It's also the reason Xenoblade 2 Soundtrack is my favorit *because it was recorded with a huge symphony orchestra). I am still really glad they remade most of Xenoblade 1's score.

[@WH40KHero]

@@jogymogy3691 I disagree. I think the synthesized orchestra gave the game a very unique and very clean feel to it. It has a certain feel to it that you can't reproduce with a real orchestra.

[@JM-hz1wl]

I think some songs benefited from it and others didn't. Galahad Fortress sounds a million times better in DE, but Agniratha day IMO sounds better in the original

[@JM-hz1wl]

@Jonah Laining good question

[@JM-hz1wl]

@Jonah Laining I went back and listened to both and I like them the same now. I think the new one grew on me

[@eggy7346]

MY GOD THAT PEAK SOUNDS INCREDIBLE

[@xenorayy]

Our journey on the Mechonis may have been short but I loved every moment of it

[@KairuHakubi]

my first time it felt like ages. of course part of that is because I was using a spoiler-free guide that told me you'd better keep grabbing blue glowies til you get X number of grape springs or whatever, so I was sitting around Agniratha for ages. It's funny how different it looked in the original game, I flat-out never noticed there were windows showing the sky. I instead felt like it was this.. giant parking garage, lit only by dim orange lights, and feeling gloomy and foreboding due to its odd mixture of being dead and suuuper alive and ready to kill you every time you go around that damn spiral staircase one more damn time.

[@MrStarman926]

this is so fucking good. Always felt like this was a * slightly * underrated track. Also, this area visually looks AMAZING in DE.

[@jayhawk9461]

Right? Honestly all of mechonis blew me away in DE, but the central factory definitely had the biggest impact imo.

[@skunkooo]

fr all the metallic and factory imagery looks amazing when the colors aren't blurry and the textures aren't in 144p

[@SBaby]

Anybody who's never played this game, first of all get it since you have another chance and it looks really freaking good in DE. Second, this area looks as good as the music sounds in DE (Xenoblade has this talent for making it easy to visualize the place any track plays in).

[@ramahermawan4598]

Gotta love that glowing orange sky, as expected from a deep Mechonis area.

[@salmorejo_]

Just looking away for a sec and you focus on the background. Absolutely MASSIVE metal gears and pieces moving over what I believe is molten metal, so damn impacting

[@BlueToadGames]

this music is amazing. xenoblade chronicles is one of the best games I've ever seen

[@leandrogonzalez3552]

Best game of all time

[@Krirak]

Just seen? Play it!

[@ninjamagic004]

Nah, 8/10. The Naypon are highly irritating and Melia is the weakest party member in the group with Rain and Duncan.

[@BlueToadGames]

@@ninjamagic004 how much of the game did you play? The Nopon are funny. Melia is fine but probably doesn't fit your playstyle. Same goes for Dunban and Reyn. And why are you judging a game based on those things? Judge games on story, graphics, gameplay(you can choose who your party is btw), and music. All of which are really good in xenoblade chronicles. Side note: I would highly recommend chuggaaconroy's playthrough of the wii version.

[@ninjamagic004]

@@BlueToadGames I've played the whole game I was making fun of IGN. Everything I said was in their review

[@marioxenobladedokifan614]

I feel the Central Factory theme doesn't really get the attention it deserves. Although I still prefer Mechonis Field, this track is very enjoyable to listen to. I really like the moving mechanical parts in the background of the Central Factory, it really adds to the atmosphere of the Mechonis.

[@TheZero1312]

Yeah, finally the area looks like we're inside of a GARGANTUAN robot being. I literally spent half an hour looking at the fine details in the background.

[@Tonjit41]

This area really made me fEEl like I was almost done the journey.

[@ShadowSkyX]

The sheer scope and _delivering_ on that sense of scale is what really makes the world of xenoblade chronicles so good. If it looks big, it _is_ big.

[@matthewgarza6816]

What’s genius about this track is that they decide to foreshadow the Agniratha theme by having piano play fragments of the motive starting at 3:09. Very subtle detail, but makes a huge difference in context

[@TheAbsol7448]

Oh my god, that's so cool.

[@ljthedrummer673]

Dang, I never caught that, that’s actually pretty cool

[@cloudbird761]

3:25 that build-up with the piano gives me chills every time

[@fiona17.72]

Spoiler warning... I love how this track sounds like something that would play as you approach the final boss, and that’s exactly how it should sound, since at this point in the game, that’s what you think you’re doing. Once you get to Mechonis Core, a huge plot twist occurs and all of a sudden Egil is no longer an antagonist. Eventually, the time comes when you truly are approaching the final battle once you return to Prison Island, where The End Lies Ahead plays. Both of these tracks perfectly capture the feeling of approaching the climax of an epic journey, and I think it’s really cool that they even incorporated that feeling into the track that plays when you think that that’s what’s happening.

[@KairuHakubi]

well put.

[@SeriousStriker]

And the song that plays (A Tragic Decision) in the battle against Yaldabaoth at Agniratha also feels like a final boss theme too, and that's the first time you hear the song.

[@maxrichards3881]

@@SeriousStriker Actually, we hear it first in Galahad Fortress.

[@They_are_Arthur]

Really feels like going to war, and that's precisely why this is so good.

[@ramahermawan4598]

Like the factory before you're fighting Smithy in Super Mario RPG.

[@They_are_Arthur]

@@ramahermawan4598 Yeah, like that!

[@ramahermawan4598]

I will miss this place so much. This new version makes me even more.

[@radioactivecheesenowinnucl4746]

Going into Definitive Edition, I already knew the main game’s story from watching Chuggaaconroy’s Let’s Play years ago, but I avoided watching the story cutscenes in the remake’s engine, because I knew that they'd look amazing and I just wanted to be blown away by them when I got to them on my first run. So when I got to this area, knowing full well what was coming, this music certainly ramped up the tension and excitement for me. And it was absolutely worth it. One of the best moments of the entire run.

[@fathm4623]

This one's probably the area theme with the most changed tonally, but it sounds fantastic and better than ever before imo

[@MrStarman926]

Really? I don’t think its tone is too different. What do you feel has changed?

[@heathersmith4042]

@@MrStarman926 The original was more foreboding, with a heavier emphasis on the bass line and percussion - it felt like you were sneaking through the enemy base in enemy territory, trying to slip through to make it to the end. This version oomphed the higher brass lines for a much more triumphant battle sort of theme. This version doesn't sound like you're sneaking through enemy territory, it sounds like you're kicking the door down and telling Egil to get ready, because you're on your way up.

[@sunnycideup4725]

@@heathersmith4042 OooOoh.. i LIKE that last line, well said

[@Skye_Spiral]

I thought I was ready for how this place would look like in HD and how this track would sound like remastered. *_Holy fuck, was I not ready._*

The timpani in this is soooo good it really adds the tension to the piece. It's pretty different track to what we're used to hearing in the game

[@simplytresca]

i love the orchestra in this. the clattering notes at the beginning of the song being a higher pitch in the original is definitely tripping me up, but this song as a whole definitely came out with a leg up with the remaster.

[@user-on3yo2oq1f]

It doesn’t have as much of the same tension as the original theme, it has more of a hopeful tone to it especially towards the climax of the song, but I almost like it that way since it encapsulates the current situation of the game. The orchestra is definitely a lot cleaner and more defined, and I think that’s what I really love about all of these remastered games coming out lately, you can just feel the music. Looking forward to Mechonis Field when I get there!

[@ramahermawan4598]

This place has that titan-sized Mechon, though.

[@TheAbsol7448]

This part of the game was very tedious, but I think tedium actually really helped the experience in this part. This was supposed to be a very long and grueling part of the story. I felt exhausted by this part of the story, but I desperately needed to know what happens next, so I kept pushing on.

[@the_red_truth5963]

Oh wow the piano at 3:10 resembles the melody of Agniratha As much as I already love the soundtrack, this just makes it so much better

[@justaguy12345]

Man, you can barely hear the piano descending arpeggios at 3:49. That was one of my favorite parts and the bombastic violins/horns drown it out now. I do really like SOME of these remastered songs, but it's interesting how differently emphasized instruments/portions can change the whole mood slightly.

[@MrStarman926]

I totally feel you in general, but not exactly for this particular theme. I’m a much bigger fan of this one than the original. Edit: definitely hear what you’re talking about. That is kind of lame.
