Wir fliegen - Xenoblade Chronicles X OST

Music: Wir fliegen
Game: Xenoblade Chronicles X
Composer: Hiroyuki Sawano

[@dragonchiId]

Before the server shut down, I sent an invite for Squad Mission 20: Unnatural Disaster (the colubrim). One guy showed up and was NOT ready for this. Maybe a newbie who'd just reached L60. So, I was gonna do the heavy lifting, fine. Dispatched the scintimures, so far so good. Then the real fight starts, infinite overdrive time. . . but I'm not doing any damage. I had a rifle build and forgot that colubrims are immune to thermal. Figured this was our last chance so I went OK. . . let's do this. The underpowered newbie was gonna be the damage dealer, just need to keep him alive. Astrolibrium to reflect, decoy round to aggro, last stand to sustain buddy's overdrive, repeat and pray. He did it. He fucking did it. Beat it with almost no time left. Ten minutes of "Wir fliegen" and yeah. . . we flew.

[@elishamaye3376]

That is awesome dude! Thanks for sharing. I love Xenoblade.

[@elkhaqelfida5972]

"Primer" "Sliding slinger" "Side slash" "Ghostwalker"

[@datmouseb]

I finished this game this week and I'm amazed that not even the final boss music takes priority over the overdrive theme lol

[@cabbagyboi9129]

“Uncontrollable” is the standard enemy boss theme. “The Key We’ve Lost” is the Final Boss’s theme. “Wir Fliegen” is YOUR boss theme.

[@thevoidmagician6653]

I like to think of it as the theme of the most powerful Xenoblade character. *The Player*

[@SpideyfanX]

Wir Fliegen is the Trombe of Xenoblade

[@snolls105]

I like how calm this song starts out as. To me it gave the feeling of in the middle of chaos, the character in Overdrive going, "I got this".

[@sonario0074]

I mean, if you have an overdrive build made to oneshot basically everything, then this is pretty accurate.

[@timoth4529]

I think this basicly what this song wants to convey

[@salami9701]

It's been seven months since I became a Xenoblade fan, with the purchase of Xenoblade 3, currently finishing up Xenoblade 2 and just bought Xenoblade 1 DE. Was wondering if X is worth the hassle. This comment alone made me search the market and buy a Wii U and then a used copy of X. Y'all cool as hell thanks.

[@velvetbutterfly]

@@salami9701it's for sure worth the price if you enjoy open world/exploration games at all

[@cn4090]

​@@salami9701Glad you're enjoying the series so much. X is definitely a different vibe compared to the other games for me, but I still enjoyed it. Don't feel rushed on it when playing and just enjoy the ride. I'm glad to see someone discovering something special to them.

[@DarknessXER]

When it is time for the enemy to learn what being utterly godstomped feels like.

[@WimpyMcWeaksauce]

You know the fight is real if you make it to the part where the guitar comes in.

[@ObserverLies]

Sadly I think it loops before that in game. I love the OST, but goddamn do some of these songs loop horribly (Looking at you Uncontrollable).

[@Scraggy.The.Scrapper]

@@ObserverLies it does

[@DankJudgement]

Wait there's more to this track than the first 5 seconds? And it plays In the game too? Holy ****!

[@KingRaatz]

@@ObserverLies The ingame version is only from 00:15- 01:40. So yeah, no guitar.

[@ljthedrummer673]

Honesty, who thought it was a good idea to cut the song when it finally gets good. One of the examples in X where the song is great, but they did not use it well. The audio designs gotta be my biggest (and only major) gripe with the game

[@RaythMercury]

Xenoblade Chronicles X doesn't get enough love. It had just as good music as the main games, the gameplay wasn't bad, and I feel that the characters were lovable.

[@KaroxNightshade]

I want to sling Tatsu into a volcano

[@enrique9925]

Freaking Hiroyuki Sawano as composer, a very vast world and mechas. For me, it is better than mainline games in every aspect except maybe history. It is more about the journey than the destination

[@oles9196]

XCX is a very very good game but it had 2 problems. 1st it came on the wii u which it actually used very good but the console wasnt popular. 2nd it was the 2nd game in the series but allready a odd one out like mario Party 9 and Pkm SuMo

[@KaroxNightshade]

@@oles9196 Also, we all wanted to sling Tatsu into a volcano

[@darknimian]

​@@enrique9925It's actually my favourite Xenoblade. I still go back to play it from time to time. Went back to it after 2 and again after 3.

[@elisevanbeethoven]

These are the lyrics translated into english (originally in German): The skyscrapers conquer the sky glittering with stars We walk through the canyon of houses, so that we don't lose real light Our wounded hearts disappear into the darkness We are like snowy tracks in the snow We are like swirling leaves in the wind The time has come We hear tick tock The clock is ticking The journey into the future Tick ​​tock, the clock is ticking The time has come We hear tick tock The clock is ticking We fly to you in light light We smash the sky like frosted glass, because he locks you in your room We fly hand in hand in the starry sky, because we are fighters for freedom We hit the mirror in which the sky is distorted We fly hand in hand in the starry sky, because we are fighters for freedom You too

[@abeetoven]

thanks! the lyrics make even more sense when considering the Japanese version calls this mode "overclock"!

[@boredgoddesstori6635]

Die Wolkenkratzer erobern den vor Sternen glitzernden Himmel Wir laufen durch die Häuserschlucht, damit wir echtes Licht nicht verlieren Unsere verletzten Herzen verschwinden in der Finsternis Wir sind wie verschneite Spuren im Schnee Wir sind wie wirbelnde Blätter im Wind The time has come Wir hören tick tack Die Uhr tickt Die Reise in die Zukunft Tick tack, die Uhr tickt The time has come Wir hören tick tack Die Uhr tickt In leichtem Licht fliegen wir zu dir Wir schlagen den Himmel wie ein Mattglas ein, weil er dich in deinem Zimmer einsperrt Wir fliegen im Sternenhimmel Hand in Hand, weil wir Kämpfer fur die Freiheit sind Wir schlagen den Spiegel, in dem sich der Himmel verzerrt Wir fliegen im Sternenhimmel Hand in Hand, weil wir Kämpfer fur die Freiheit sind Du auch

its because if you have the sky high art with infinite overdrive you can literally levitate without touching the ground. I figured this out when I was caught by an enemy who was inside of a lava lake

[@metamayto]

I wonder if anyone has heard the full song without using a Skell.

[@patrickcoronado-taylor1802]

It's crazy, but I have seen vids of that being done!

[@anothermark2082]

Infinite overdrive.

[@Morthra]

It's actually really easy to do. All you have to do is abuse the fact that Green (buff) abilities add 0.05 seconds per count to your overdrive time, and Blue (aura) abilities add 0.1 seconds per count to your overdrive time. If you run Photon Saber/Dual Guns, for example, you can also abuse the cooldown reduction that Overdrive gives at higher counts to permanently sit in Ghostwalk, becoming untouchable, while still getting relatively high sustained damage. Photon Saber also gives access to Essence Exchange, which helps towards getting into Overdrive if your TP is low. If you open with Primer > Essence Exchange > Overdrive > Ghostwalk > Zero Zero, then alternate between uses of Zero Zero and your buffs (you should have Geolibrium equipped to counteract the HP hit you'll take from Essence Exchange uses), you'll quickly reach max Overdrive count (Zero Zero does 10 hits, and if you use it right after a Green or blue ability in Overdrive, the count increase is doubled). The whole time you should be basically using Ghostwalk on cooldown, but once you hit max overdrive count, then you can go ham on damage, at which point even the level 90+ tyrants will go down really fast.

[@lifesmanager6318]

yeah, using either the ramjet rifle or arts TP augments should make keeping overdrive forever quite easy - with my augments every time i use an art i gain 400TP and thanks to my photon saber skills i can use arts very rapidly. - the rifle on the other hand gives you 900TP per volley but it's weak and takes 10 seconds to fire again, but builds TP fast early on in game

[@indigoog42]

Yeah if you can build enough tp you can just refresh overdrive without ending it which means you wouldn't need as much overdrive augments

[@dosito86]

IM REALLY FEELING IT!

[@tinotcg5815]

I lost my shit when this song came on when I first went overdrive

Do it in a Skell. You are guaranteed at least 20 seconds and you can keep it going for even longer if you get lucky enough to trigger cockpit time when spamming arts.
