The Music of Xenoblade Chronicles 3D - Mechanical Rhythm Trailer

[@135roze]

It would be funny if they somehow made the monado into a guitar

[@ExtremeDude2]

That would be amazing.

[@TheSchoolyD]

Not hard too since electric guitars can be any form you like as long as the strings fit. Look up weird guitars (ak-47 guitar f.e.), some amazing models there.

[@IPromiseTomorrow]

It's very possible. Like not even 99% 100% possible

[@tsyumamatsuthehavenofguard32]

That would definitely be the guitar of the solo :0

[@Pants.69]

Not a bad idea actually....

[@protoman9198]

I love the differing styles in music meshed into one beautiful song. You can see the more classy dressed orchestral people on the left and the rockstars on the right. They both look total different in style yet harmonize together into this awesome song.

[@Beno]

Proto Man Like the people of the Bionis and Mechonis

[@JustADankRaven]

Beno *Mindblown*

[@protoman9198]

Beno Woah I didn't even think about that.

[@top__Ramen__]

You could say that they got a good rhythm going! No?

[@JustADankRaven]

TNT pancake Well... you could say we are really feeling it?

[@LilyBlue53]

Hearing this for the first time after playing the game for like 50 hours was so amazing.

[@jasonthompson318]

Right? It was a beautiful surprise when getting on to mechonis. What a beautiful game.

[@pedrobeckup456]

The game keeps rewarding you even after 50 hours

[@MonadoBoyFlameRock]

i can feel the Rhythm THE MECHANICAL RHYTHM! Dunban! Riki! Time for a Chain attack! 

[@harrisonlichtenberg3162]

I want that monado replica.

[@Alain7896]

Just like everyone else.... I'll fight u for it...

[@Kuebel350]

Alain7896 fite me irl

[@RealAnswerTalker]

Kuebel350 irl? i've never heard of that server.

[@wyrmjaw]

Harrison Lichtenberg *monando

[@digitalatom6433]

Harrison Lichtenberg Which one? The Monado Rudra is the best in the game IMO. Haha, just kidding, but the game itself really has 5 different monado replica's and are gotten from quests that are called Monado Replica.

[@GohanPlays]

THIS IS THE M O N A N D O POWER !!!

[@FancifulProdigy]

M O N A D O's*

[@TheGhostgodzilla]

I see what you did there

[@corrinflakes9659]

Dawson Mahon If you're wondering, it started off in somebody's reaction video to Shulk's smash trailer, where they mispronounced 'Monado' into 'Monando'.

[@chardyP]

shout out to etika they should just change the official name of monado to monando

[@wyrmjaw]

***** M O N A N D O B O Y Z

[@eggy7346]

Dunban: _Born in a world of strife,_ _Against the odds,_ _We choose to fight!_ *_Blossom Dance!_*

[@TheSilverazo]

Dunban: "Mighty Heropon, I can see that you're in pain." Riki: "Hm, nothing can beat Riki." Shulk: "Stop it, Dunban, you're embarrassing Riki

[@laggalot1012]

TheSilverazo Riki:'Herohom and Heropon INVINCIBLE!!!'

[@TheSilverazo]

Laggalot101 the herohom heropon combo baby!

[@laggalot1012]

Dunban:'Feel the flow of battle!' Riki:'Riki feel only Dundun's scary voice...' ...I can't help but smile whenever I hear that.

[@ShermTank7272]

He's so cuddly I could cuddle him to death!

[@Nyarlathotep727]

TheSilverazo Reyn: Can't have a rainbow without Reyn baby. Melia: Dunban I think you need to have a talk with Reyn Dunban: No. Let's pretend it didn't happen.

[@jayvir6]

This has to be the most epic standard battle music ever created. Absolutely phenomenal

[@takehirotei]

Still can't stop listening to this after 5 years

[@LASTDINOSAUR]

Can't stop listening to it after 7 years

[@starchild4627]

me after 10+ years

[@xxdantheman1681]

@@TheRebornExpert Your well wishes are surely appreciated. Thank you. :)

[@Aaronrod518]

That monado I swear I seen sakurai post it on his Twitter before

[@jayvir6]

He did. Is was his initial tease to Shulk being in Smash.

[@FloydMcRyan7]

Probably my favourite piece in the entire game. :)

[@corrinflakes9659]

FloydMcRyan7 Of which kind, battle themes. Themes that are intense, I certainly have it high up for that spot, but I don't know if 1 yet, I have You Will Know Our Names *Spoiler* Zanza, Unfinished Battle, Night Before the Decisive Battle all competing for that spot, and also Engage the Enemy. (I'll also say Obstacle In Our Path) But that's just intense pieces, my favourite, well that's just too hard.

[@AirshBornely]

Ah yes. Orchestra and rock, my two favorite music genres. Xenoblade Chronicles is easily up there in my top favorite VGMs.

[@artemis2227]

This was an awesome surprise to find in my sub box. Thank you Nintendo, I still love you.

[@fitzpowell530]

dat monado

[@russellmendoza8202]

***** I really wanna feel that ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

[@jaredm8900]

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

[@phillach5181]

+Fitz powell monando - m2k

[@skyraptor5527]

its so beautiful

[@CloisteredExplorer]

i think we all want to feel it

[@TM1337FalconPunch]

Shulk-"Dunban, you're awesome!" Dunban-"I AM WITHOUT MATCH" Yes Dunban. Yes you are.

[@Serrot304]

Watching this is like seeing two video, a symphony and a rock concert, being spliced together, and it's awesome.

[@MonadoBoyFlameRock]

IGN 4 out of 10 not enough Rhythm

[@cowsgomoo001]

I lol'd

[@BassDamage18]

Hey Shulk, you are all the time feeling it arent you?? You feel it more with Sharla, Melia or with Fiora??

[@Wizzkidwas]

Bastián Salazar Fiora, duh

[@Sriks49]

Monado Boy Nah they'd sayToo much rhythm

[@FluffiBois]

But That Drum Beat Tho BTW, there is an attack on colony 9 right now. Are you MECHON IT!

[@RedLinkaFlame]

I'm really digging "The Music of" series Nintendo's doing. It's so goooood *O*

[@queenlatifa5105]

Didn't know Dunban could play the guitar.

[@GanonAkumaFan]

That's obviously not Dunban. The guy can use both arms to play.

[@carbunky6098]

GanonAkumaFan It's dunban before the battle at Sword Valley, of course!

[@CaptainFracture]

My heart cant take all these awesome uploads

[@beebs4283]

This is an EXCELLENT way to advertise the game!! A+

[@kyromthedankduck4116]

I'm so glad my favourite game of all time is finally being noticed for the amazing game it is, I'm not sure how it will be compared to the wii version. But I'm just glad more people will be able to play Xenoblade.

[@TonyKanameKuran]

I'm looking forward to the remake version of "Mechanical Rhythm" by the time Xenoblade Chronicles Definitive Edition is launched for the Switch on May 29th.

[@top__Ramen__]

You could say they got a good rhythm going!

[@HibHab69]

This is good. But having more Shulk amiibo would make this experience even better!

[@kain1799]

I'm actually surprised at how long it took to find an amiibo jab.

[@HibHab69]

Kain Liason I will not lie, I am going to press this as best I can. Really good music though in true honesty!

[@kain1799]

no the amiibo bit is a perfectly valid complaint it's just that they are everywhere on everything nintendo but this music is soooo good

[@HibHab69]

Kain Liason Aye. It's good to see they are finally giving this game some good attention. In the words of Vince McMahon, "WE GOTTA PUSH THE GAME FOR SUMMERSLAM!"

[@ZanzaOriath]

I love this song and this game and I am so excited to play the game again when 3d comes out in a couple days :D

[@acro9779]

Dat guy spinning da drumstick in the beginning doh.

[@jacobpearl4003]

Those drums are amazing!

[@ikemarthlinkrich]

Violin guy: "When can I dance? I can't sit anymore!!"

[@finalxiiisora7270]

Violin guy: Imma sit here looking goddamn intense so that the audience thinks it's intense too.

[@Zaine171]

Best battle theme in-game and really good live cover of it! And anyone else think that the guitarist in the center almost looks like Dunban? :)

[@13n1304]

Came back for definitive edition. So glad I have this in CD quality & vinyl. I wish the video had better audio

[@WhipplyWorld]

The violin in the background is my favorite thing about Mechanical Rhythm, so I loved the emphasis that this version has.

[@marche800]

A live version of the best theme in the game? Sweet

[@StiffAftermath]

Love. Monolith. Love. Nintendo. Love. Love.

[@IschmarVI]

I like how this version emphasizes the symphonic part of the song.

[@heavyarms55]

I love the blend of rock and classical style instruments in music like this. :3

[@Saka1234100]

Is that the Nintendo Rockband?

[@uVCrossZ]

Yes, and nintendo rock band? Make it happen nintendo

[@meowmeow-di2qo]

It's ACE+ and their ensemble.

[@Millahtime]

I wish Takahashi would have chosen the same composers for Xenoblade Chronicles X. The variety and different styles of Shimomura combined with Ace+ made for a very unique and excellent soundtrack. By far the best of the last gen. I would have loved to have seen them all working together again.

[@moonmedic2862]

This song feels like FZERO meets Xenoblade and it's amazign!

[@TheLastLineLive]

If only Nintendo put even remotely the kind of effort in promoting this game on Wii they have with the 3DS version, it might have sold good and not have been such a rare game. But yea, this music is freaking epic!

[@jasonthompson318]

One of my most favourite games of all time. It’s a shame I never liked jrpgs until the last year and a half. I missed out on this, ffx, ff6, ff7 and many others over my almost 3 decades of existence.

[@pedrobeckup456]

Me too, i started to play very much Jrpgs this year, because i played Xenoblade (original for wii) in the end of last year and then i loved the game and genre..

[@ProfessorXenoblade]

"Let the roar of the Mechonis be the wrath of my people!"

[@michielwesselingh661]

*may

[@gamerterasu1020]

String instruments on the left and electric guitars on the right? That's Xenoblade music if I've ever seen it.

[@totalwar1793]

I am still mad they didn't make a remix for Unfinished Battle.

[@martinvarona4419]

This is amazing. I love these making of video game music videos

[@smashbrother8696]

I like how in all the gameplay clips only one of them actually shows a point in the game where this plays.

[@sirbumblebee6245]

Probably my favorite song from the game

[@lilRico]

If I can have the full official soundtrack on a disc for this beautiful game. That will make my Christmas, Birthday and my year of 2015

[@dainobu10]

This song really pump me at the gym!

[@whatareyoudoinghere1431]

I can imagine!

[@STHUltra]

I think a xenoblade chronicles anime would be cool to let people find out more about xenoblade

[@orionrain]

Love the music of the game just wish i could play it -.-

[@stealthpiglet1007]

My favourite song on the soundtrack

[@forestwanderer]

Holy crap that was badass.

[@greysoulll]

That was wicked I mean like that was pure good

[@ChinaTownTBB]

*Spoilers* I caught a glimpse of the Monado 2 in the gameplay sequences! 0:56 *edit* Also saw some very-near endgame scenes at 2:23.

[@harlockgft8884]

Ready for a chain attack! All systems go!

[@KidIcarusX]

best rpg of all times

[@GUYI621]

I'm really FEEEEEELING it!

[@minerbroscreeper]

I love how the music is a cross between orcistra and rock.

[@johnnyneutron1530]

It helps represent a clash of organic life and synthetic creations even more.

[@Segway999]

Really can't wait for this game to come out...

[@smelliotflowersthe9893]

Chuggaaconroy?! See what you have done?! You have done one of the best playthrough to an amazing RPG!!!! And now this?! Thank You!!!

[@Dippyboi98]

Why are you thanking chuggaconroy all he did do a lets play of the game. Xenoblade Chronicles 3D was planned ever since the New 3DS was in development, and 80% of the hype for this game came from Smash Bros, 17% came from people who actually played the game, and the last 3% came from Chuggaa's let's play

[@flameheadshero]

Bryan Gutierrez Next thing you know, people will think he made the game himself. Sheesh...

[@minerbroscreeper]

Reyn: every rainbow has a reyn Sharla: dunban you need to have a talk with reyn Dunban: no, just pretend it didnt happen Actual battle quote BTW

[@PKMetalGames]

I'm really wanting it!

[@stationshelter]

I want to bea japanese guitarist when I grow up

[@rexolve1032]

Man I wish it was louder I like hearing this blast my headphones

[@gaiusbalthasar3846]

ayyyyyy lets go!!!! Favorite song

[@ggw1776]

I'm feeling it! Reyn! That was really good! Aw yeah, I'm turning up the heat! We've got a good rhythm going!

[@Unawareofsurroundings]

2020 Remake?

[@tmdanny93]

I wish we could buy that real life monado they have on display there :(

[@biggiehalps]

This made me realize. We need a Rock Band game full of video game music.

[@GUYI621]

Can't wait for the remake

[@TonyKanameKuran]

Same here bro!

[@GuitarsRgood7]

I'm just gonna prolong this battle so I can listen to this song forever

[@srslyimnotaspy101]

Bass guy is jammin' hard.

[@Lazer_Specter]

I want that Monado.

[@cherubiccherry1619]

I'm really feeling it!

[@twiilit_]

Who's here after Xenobla:DE?

[@leinf4464]

Zanza theme would be great too as live version

[@danboom101]

Unfortunately this would have been a hundred times better if the guitar was more prominent. If you check out Green Screen Guitar's guitar cover of this, you will see how a good guitar standing out is what this needs. They muted the guitars and made the violins much too overbearing.

[@sonicfan2day1]

Well....Since it seems like no one else has said it...screw it... I'M REALLY FEELING IT!

[@Xeno-The-Wanderer]

Someone must either make an ost cd/DVD with or without seeing the people play it or make an ost special edition with a monado

[@BthIX]

They need to do some of these "Music of"s for Smash Bros.

[@Killermy3]

Some bits sounds like Killer Instinct.

[@unjobe]

normalize a new main battle theme halfway through a game

[@Hallowedbethybrain]

Amazing

[@MegaXRetro]

I need the monado replica D:

[@twiphe4375]

We've got a mechanical rhythm going!

[@itsbrunor4893]

it´s so crazy the music

[@padraig1]

Amazing, a work of art

[@7hammerkirby]

A trailer for Xenoblade and they show the Mechonis moving. Nice.

[@LilyBlue53]

7hammerkirby It moves in the prologue you know.

[@KoujiTamino]

7hammerkirby Pointing out potential spoilers that barely do any harm out of context. Nice.

[@7hammerkirby]

KoujiTamino The scene really stood out from the rest of the clips which were just fighting enemies, it was hard to miss. There were other late game spoilers, but I chose not to point those out.

[@KoujiTamino]

7hammerkirby Hard to miss for you, maybe. You do realize that most people who haven't played the game would just gloss over that clip and not even think about until it comes up again later, right? But you waved a big red flag over it and made that impossible.

[@manglethefemale-fox3487]

Hello, Nintendo, whoever composed the music in this game, gets a cookie, whoever made the lands, gets 2 cookies, whoever was the leader of this game, gets 3 cakes shaped like the three monados, I mean the 1 monado, cuz there aren't 3, Alvis, help me.

[@heinzdoofenshmirtz8643]

Monado III! Whoops, spoilers.

[@Aka326]

Love this game

[@horchatavato9440]

Awesome

[@Pelthail]

So when is the US getting a tour!?! Or at least, when is the live album being released? I gotta get my hands on this.

[@samuraivader3814]

Violin people need to smile

[@kevinxd4459]

It hurts smiling on the violin lol. It's actually fairly difficult and violin players tend to be a bit serious looking

[@brandyn7396]

The straight and serious look is like the "guitar face" of the violin while the guitarists are.. You know

[@Portalgun6686]

Hey wait a second.... How come in X.C. 3D the music sounds the same as the Wii Version? Where did this go?

[@Mario497]

Anyone recognize the drummer at the beginning?

[@KidAL0]

Dude nice fedora and below-the-knee shorts! Welcome to 2011 my guys!

[@RoyalHustler09]

Nice.
