Never played the game, never heard of it really, but found this song on someone's playlist. It's got a strange effect I can feel welling up behind my eyes and rising in my chest. It's calming.. saddening even, yet still inspiring as well. Today is a beautiful Fall day and I couldn't think of a more perfect song to encapsulate such a time. I could listen to this forever.

anytime i hear this, im reminded of Chuggaaconroy's speeck on Mario 64 in his Mario 64 DS LP. i just love this song so much.

It seems so many others also feel touched by this simple yet emotional tune. Much of my own emotions stir hearing this as well. I recall when I first played this game. I came out of a relationship thinking it would last, the future seemed ominous and bleak even. I’d feel anxious even thinking about my future and not knowing what it would held given my various shitty circumstances.

This tune somehow seem to pacify said sorrows, as if to encourage one to push forward despite the seemingly arduous circumstances. I legit did not want to exist and did not think I had a place in the world but this tune and game seemed to say otherwise, in its own right.

Here I am now, 12 years later, smiling, a little sadly but happy still that things eventually did get better.

Never played this game in my life, found this song by accident while listening to zelda botw ost, might just get the game now because of this beautiful ost

I remember hearing this song for the first time when I was playing Xenoblade Chronicles on my Wii back in 2013. Man, it is such a good song, but you don't get to hear it a lot unless you go do a bunch of the side quests in that area (which there is A LOT). It's honestly my favorite theme in the game and I love listening to it during Autumn. Something about it just gives it that Autumn feel that's both relaxing and calming. Can't wait to do it again in month or so when all the leaves start falling to the floor!!

This song is my confort zone. Everytime i feel stressed or when i need to focus, i listen to it. Its been 10 years now, Xenoblade still my favorite game, it represents a big part of my life.

Ese juego fué mi parte de mi adolescencia 🫶

Most people say Mechanical Rhythm is the best song but to me, this one is my favorite. It's so relaxing to hear this song.

I remember going there and just leaving the game idle for a good while just to hear this song play on loop. Same with the Noppon tree one.

When i think of this song, it reminds me of my sadness for not being able to have TEA and Coffee. Your meant to have TEA and Coffee at 12. But i had TEA before 12 so i can't have TEA and Coffee.😢

I remember leaving the game on in this area just to listen and relax while working during those pandemic years.

Heard a lofi mix of this one on a stream. Someone said the title and I had to look up the original. I definitely need to start this game now.

[Spamus]

Why did no one tell me this soundtrack is amazing

[ciho]

sounds like it could be off the professor layton OST's!

[felix]

I remember i commented in this video or in a similar one about this song, saying this ost makes me want to play the game. Many people asked me if i had got the game, and now i can say i just got it! I'm on my way to my house, i'll try it there!
If you find my old comment, please comment something there so i can find it and update it :)

Does anyone hear "Sakamoto: Merry Christmas Mr Lawrence (Arr. Metcalfe)" in this song? I think they are identical?

[jameswoodland]

I definitely get Earthbound Onnet theme vibes at points

[jinkino]

The track sounds somber, but also kind of… hopeful? Like even though the survivors of Colony 6 faced much hardship, they’ve picked themselves up and are beginning to rebuild.

[Jackitron]

For some reason I get Spirit Crucible Elpys vibes...
