@@MrLee64 me too, there's something off about it, but i don't know much about music, so i can't say why it's off... like, instead of sounding like a Yoko Shimomura song it sounds like it's TRYING to copy her style
The Ostrich I’m referring to the pipe organ you know the type of instrument used in cathedrals. You can hear it used in this song if you listen carefully.
_Way_ more heart-pounding than the original! Although with the extra piano flourishes and that specific lead violin tone, it really sounds like a lost Kingdom Hearts track now, lol.
FreedCleric134 Oh I'm aware that Shimomura did this song and a couple others in the game. I just find it amusing that she leaned even further into the series she's most known for.
Ironically, I feel like it sounds LESS like a Shimomura piece now. I'm pretty much illiterate when it comes to music, so telling you what I dislike about it is pretty difficult. I feel like there's something missing, like the melody is ever so slightly off. The violin I find it almost overbearing, which is a shame, since it's my favorite instrument and it's one of Shimomura's hallmarks. There's also something not letting the song breath. I really wish she had gone back to rearrange her own tracks. At least it's not as distracting and mood killing as the new Engage the Enemy. Sorry for all the negativity
@@oneish7454 Oneish I get what you mean, honestly One of the great things about the old track was how it worked so great with so little, which greatly impacted the tone shifts throughout it The remastered version here decided to go with a totally different feeling, lining the chords with organs to bring out the violins even further, which also takes more focus off the rest of the instruments in the background It's not necessarily a bad thing, they basically took the heart pumping, yet haunting melodies and said, "what if we intensified EVERYTHING"
I always start battles with "STREAM EDGE!" or "SHADOW ARTS!", I play as Shulk a lot. If I’m playing as Melia, it’s always, "Summon Bolt!" then "Summon Copy!".
Yeah, too bad she didn't come back. If you look at the credits she's credited as composer, but the music was arranged by ACE, Kenji Hiramatsu and Manami Kiyota.
Memory unlocked: My now adult son was 6 years old. I was playing this game and he walks into my gameroom. I'm fighting some bunnits and this music is playing. There's a giant Tokilos in the background. He sees the screen and asks "are you getting ready to fight that bird?" I say not at all. I'm fighting these bunny rabbits with sticks on their tales. He replies "why is the music so angry if they're just rabbits?" I laughed pretty hard for a while. He got angry thinking I was laughing at him instead of what he said. But it made sense. Such an intense track for some creatures.
@@manimanistatue The original was a fine battle track, but hearing it for the majority of battles in a 100+ hour game made it lose its charm, especially after having a pumping track like Mechanical Rhythm take the role of main battle theme on Mechonis. Once I returned to Bionis, hearing the same theme from when my party was wittle wevel one felt like a loss of progression. In contrast, Xenoblade 2's main battle theme didn't overstay its welcome, and I never got tired of hearing it for that reason. If there was an entirely new battle theme made for when the party returns to Bionis, that'd solve everything. I'd feel more fond of Time to Fight, and I'd retain a sense of progression no matter where in the story I am.
Oh bother, I failed to mention why I enjoy hearing the remastered version. Simply stated, it has more intensity than the original, and the melody is more distinct. It doesn't even feel overdramatic against the first crabble because it's the player's first fight (minus Dunban in sword valley of course), and it's aged well in my playthrough so far. There's a good chance I'll get tired of it for the same reason I previously stated, but even so, the theme now perfectly captures the idea of high stakes in battle.
This version is a straight upgrade from the original, it's way more intense and the added flourishes here and there just make an otherwise static theme really gorgeous.
@@LaerHeiSeiRyuu See that would make sense if it wasn't also the battle theme for the end game. Not to mention given the intense nature of this games story and stakes having a more epic and tense battle theme makes more sense. Also being a first battle theme is not an excuse to be boring like the original. Like if it only really works for the very beginning of the game then it doesn't work.
The extra little piano bits really did a lot to revitalize this song, imo. I got so tired of the song in the original game, but I was always so happy to hear this one even after 80+ hours.
When there's an obstacle in your path, it's Time to Fight. When there's a report due tomorrow morning, it's Time to Write. When you're holding Fiora's sandwich, it's Time to Bite.
I like to imagine ACE in the studio for DE just blasting Kingdom Hearts music while they work out how to out-Shimomura Shimomura. They did a good job making it more Kingdom Hearts.
I love the buildup with the violin in the first 30 seconds. It slowly becomes more tense and builds more energy, sustaining it as long as possible before finally dropping off.
Idk why, but the piano in this reminds me of "Stage of Death" from Xenogears now, which would be a pretty awesome reference if that's what they intended.
Amazing, I think this is my favorite battle theme in the remaster, despite it being one of my least favorite in the original. Yoko Shimomura really outdid herself with this one.
Definitive Edition was the first time I've played Xenoblade Chronicles 1, so when I heard this battle theme for the first time I was like "what the fuck is this, is this the normal battle theme? That's kind of weird and over dramatic." Then Prison Island 2 started and this theme came back and I was like "oh that make sense."
"Here we gooooooooo LARIAT! Dunban!" "I'll cut you all to shreds! Sharla!" "Headshot! Don't mess this up, Reyn!" "I know I know! Sword Drive! Dunban! "Uaahh! Born in a world of strife! Against the odds! We choose to fight! Blossom Dance! Sharla!" "Give me some space! Heal Round! Niiice!"
This theme gives me vibes of despair and tragedy. Weird for a simple battle theme that you hear most of the time. My guess is that the intention was that its the everyday life for anyone living in both titans. That they always fight for their lives to keep being in this majestic world. Is the sad reality we all live
Hearing this is like hearing Yoko's work in KH2 go from the PS2 to the HD ReMix, only, this still sounded good in the original and got pushed to 11 in DE. Also, I always thought that the FFXV soundtrack had a KH feel. This track actually makes me think this whole soundtrack was the basis and inspiration for FFXV.
@@Zephhi I'm gonna have to agree with you with this a bit. I like a lot of the remastered tracks, but some of the OG KH2 tracks were good that some of the HD ReMix versions still sound off to me.
Probably one of the best remasters in the game, really. It feels way more defined, every instrument and layer got in each other's way in the original to create muddled noise, here I can actually tell the main melody apart from everything else, the violins are more defined, it fits together so much better. And it sounds even more Kingdom Hearts-y. Although we shouldn't expect any less from the god of violins.
I love how similar this is to Mario and Luigi Paper Jam’s final boss theme. Only Yoko could outdo herself. Both themes are amazing in their own right but this takes the cake
Let me say this, comparing the original Xenoblade OST to Kingdom Hearts would exactly be like having Xenoblade Definitive Edition to 1.5 + 2.5 HD Remix
This remastered version of time to fight is a big improvement with those violins. I kinda got tired of the original version after hearing it so many times in the original. But this version is one I won't get tired of.
It would have been really cool actually if they ported the Kingdom Hearts collections over to Switch and included a secret boss fight with Xemnas in there with a mixture of this theme and Darkness of The Unknown playling during it.
Imagine a new secret boss in Xenoblade 3 revealing that the reason why the two worlds are connected is due to the secret boss themselves, The Master of Masters, even connecting Aionios to Quadratum...
Nostalgia. This song was amazing in Xenoblade Chronicles Definitive Edition. Always listen to this song from time to time to really remember the hype this game really gave me when playing.
Sounds as if Sora is in the world of FFXV with Noct, Prompto, Ignis and Gladio, fighting off some tough enemies...maybe Riku and Kairi are with him too because WHY NOT...perhaps this is happening during the night or near the early hours of the morning as the sun slowly lights up the darkness that covers the land at the moment 🤔
One final game Shulk(Sora) - Luxord Yeah Yeah - Larxene I'll Scatter you to the winds - Marluxia I am me, and NOBODY ELSE! - Roxas Ready Shulk!(Sora) - Xion Dance Water Dance! - Demyx Burn Baby Burn! - Axel The Moon shines down - Saix Your hopes, were for NOTHING! - Zexion Don't mock me! - Lexaeus Come, Ice Blade - Vexen Wind, Guard me! - Xaldin Clever little sneak! - Xigbar Anger and Hate, are supreme - Xemnas Submit! - Ansem SoD Is that all, the light can muster? - Terra Xehanort Nope - Vanitas I'm Unstoppable! - Riku Replica Keyblade! - Master Xehanort Time Stop! - Young Xehanort Just a bunch of Kingdom Hearts quotes that would go really well with this song.
Wow, I understand who say that prefer Mechanical rhythm, but, I prefer Time to fight. This music is so beatiful, the violin, all the instruments together are so natural , i can't explain what I feel with this song.

And it sounds even more Kingdom Hearts-y. Although we shouldn't expect any less from the god of violins.
"Piece of cake!"
"Let's not lose our heads though!"
"But we mustn't be careless!"
this music still gives me chills. that violin and piano...
Serious kingdom hearts vibes from this song
"THE ENEMY'S WEAK, BUT DON'T DROP YOUR GUARD!"
"I DON'T HAVE TIME FOR SMALL FRY!"
"BACKSLASH"
"WE WIN!"
"RIKI CAN WIN BY HIMSELF."
I love how similar this is to Mario and Luigi Paper Jam’s final boss theme. Only Yoko could outdo herself. Both themes are amazing in their own right but this takes the cake
I'm really feeling it!
Now it's Shulk time!
“Sharp as a nail Shulk!”
everyone, feel the flow of battle
A VISION
Let me say this, comparing the original Xenoblade OST to Kingdom Hearts would exactly be like having Xenoblade Definitive Edition to 1.5 + 2.5 HD Remix
imaigne starting Sora's trailer in Smash with Shulk fighting a bunch of heartless using this song first.
Now its Reyn time
NOW TIHS IS THE BEST GAME EVER MADE IN HISTORY NOT JOKING
It's not a mechon! It's just a krabble! (Music plays)
INFORMATION: With the help of Shulk and company, defeat the Arm Bunnit. Use reaction commands!
FR reminded me how insane this song is
"lEt's noT LOse ou' 'eads thOUGH"
The amount of chain attacks that took place with this in the background
This remastered version of time to fight is a big improvement with those violins. I kinda got tired of the original version after hearing it so many times in the original. But this version is one I won't get tired of.
"Enemy's weak, but don't drop your guard"
I love how if you have a good setup everyone immediately has high tension.
THUNDER BULLET! FIRE!
HAMMER! BEAT!
Ouch! Its scorching hot!
HERE WE GOOOOOO LARIAT
Prepare yourself......MIND BLAST!
Hehehe....was that a little too much?
Dammit Donald heal me!
NoW tHiS lOoKs LiKe A gOoD pLaCe To FiNd SoMe InGrEdIaNtS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!@
"YOW THAT'S SHCORCHING HOT!"
The section at 0:50 is where this remake really shines.
This is the power of the Monado!
Monado lend us your power!!
they're not invincible, monado enchant
The original made me calm, this actually hypes me up like a battle theme should :D
This was unexpected
Better deal with these Heartless. Wait! Wrong game series.
It would have been really cool actually if they ported the Kingdom Hearts collections over to Switch and included a secret boss fight with Xemnas in there with a mixture of this theme and Darkness of The Unknown playling during it.
Imagine a new secret boss in Xenoblade 3 revealing that the reason why the two worlds are connected is due to the secret boss themselves, The Master of Masters, even connecting Aionios to Quadratum...
Damn, this track *oozes* Yoko Shimomura from every stroke on the violin's strings. It's amazing!
Ok now this went full Kingdom Hearts mode
I played that game for so long i hear that everytime an animal is comming towards me
BORN IN A WORLD OF STRIFE!!!
AGAINST THE ODDS!
@@LinkcarioX WE CHOOSE TO FIGHT!!!!
@@DarkSt0rm009 BLOSSOM DANCE!
Love the part at 1:25
It gives me goosebumps every time I hear it
Nostalgia. This song was amazing in Xenoblade Chronicles Definitive Edition. Always listen to this song from time to time to really remember the hype this game really gave me when playing.
Never liked this song much originally but this rearrangement has made it really REALLY good.
The Ostrich someone’s deaf
@The Ostrich I'd say the original has more going on, this version puts too much emphasis on the violin and doesn't let the other instruments shine.
I imagined a Xenoblade Chronicles and Kingdom Hearts crossover.
Probably my favorite music update.
Firstly i think this music a little bit heavy for just hunting lvl 5 bunnit. But now, i know this music is well maded
this ost is very kingdom hearts indeed
Same composer
Sounds as if Sora is in the world of FFXV with Noct, Prompto, Ignis and Gladio, fighting off some tough enemies...maybe Riku and Kairi are with him too because WHY NOT...perhaps this is happening during the night or near the early hours of the morning as the sun slowly lights up the darkness that covers the land at the moment 🤔
This plays when a deer is I front of your car.

Just a bunch of Kingdom Hearts quotes that would go really well with this song.
Wow, I understand who say that prefer Mechanical rhythm, but, I prefer Time to fight. This music is so beatiful, the violin, all the instruments together are so natural , i can't explain what I feel with this song.
