I Made Surveys Comparing the Corresponding/Similar Songs in Xenoblade and Xenoblade X, Vote for your Favorites!

[TK14]

Thanks for doing this! Was way more difficult than I expected it to be. Nostalgia goggles had me thinking the original's soundtrack would destroy X's, but I found that my votes were actually split fairly evenly. I still maintain that the original has a more complete soundtrack and maybe a little more variety in terms of genre/instrumentation potentially (some of Sawano's style trademarks get a little repetitive, and sometimes his best melodies are 20-second treasures surrounded by 2 minutes of fluff on both ends--I'm looking at you, Primordia and Oblivia themes), but X's soundtrack really does hold up well. I love both. :p But the original's Main Theme, Beyond the Sky, and Unfinished Battle put it a step above still, for me. While X has Sylvalum...damn was that difficult to choose over Satorl Marsh's night them...that was the tightest contest for me. Here's hoping the next Monolith Soft game continues this trend of fantastic music to go along with huge, beautiful, creative areas to explore!
