It's crazy that basically any time I really love a song, I can come check out your channel and discover that you've covered it at some point. Xenoblade 2 is one of my favorite games ever (a game where the main plotline is basically helping a girl overcome her depression hits close to home), and this cover legit gave me chills when you hit 00:54.
I ABSOLUTELY love this track. I just redownloaded the first game to play all three back to back but XC2 soundtrack will hold a special place in my heart for getting me back into writing my stories. Fantastic cover!
fun game with nice cut scenes but the story telling was so messy at times and the break between story and gameplay was mediocre most of the time, this shouldn't be a good example to anyone :s
@@mielthesquid6536 media is subjective yunno, but I'd actually really disagree with you. You gotta be more specific than just the breaks weren't good? You can explore/do sides/ affinity/ level up or u can just push main story. Most JRPGS leave those breaks to the player. Maybe you were just confused to what to do or never played a JRPG before this?
@@mielthesquid6536The story has some flaws but overall it is better than almost any other RPG I have played... As much as I love Xenoblade 1, I think overall Xenoblade 2 go out winning at the writing, but Xenoblade 1 makes the main plot more strong, a better apresentation, Bionis and Mechonis (yes, they are worth mentioning by themselves, they are some of the coolest things in vídeogame) no pervert jokes, those great characters and etc It is just that I felt so.. In love with a story, I felt the same with Xenoblade 1 at my second playthrough (Yeah, the first one I just hadn't fully understand the greateness in front of me) and the same with Tales of The Abyss. But in Xenoblade 2 it was even more, it is no wonder I literally spent hours crying after the end, if it has flaws but managed to make me feel so many feelings, through the whole game, Happiness, laughs, reflecting on the characters, wondering what was going to happen, my head completely blowing at certain moments and more, so I don't matter. But if you didn't feel those feelings, it is ok and I understand why you say that
Xenoblade 2 and its OST deserve all the love, fantastic work Jules! So glad that the fans recognize Counterattack as one of their favorite VGM of all time. Keep on shredding.
Yesss, I'm not even a massive fan of the game, only got like halfway through but it undeniably has one of the best videogame OSTs out there! Every song is a banger. Great cover, got me pumped!
I've never clicked on and liked a video than I did for this one as soon as I saw it pop up on my feed. Xenoblade Chronicles 2 is my favorite in the trilogy (Future Redeemed DLC being the close second). Once you get over the fan service-y stuff and lack of tutorials, it turns into one helluva emotional ride. I cried so many times and this song exemplifies those moments.
I still stand by the opinion that the emotional payoff in 2 (starting with the Crucible all the way to the end of the game) is the absolute pinnacle of writing in rpgs on the same level as FF7 and the like
@@Jotunn96 Really? I liked most of the ending before the final boss, but everything after that feels very forced. Pneuma sacrifices herself to stop a space elevator that started collapsing for no reason, then she comes back with both of the waifus in separate bodies purely for fan service. It feels very emotionally empty
@@manman2416They come back not because they don't want to die, but because they no longer fear living. And I'm pretty sure there is a lore explanation for elysium (I have no idea how it's spelled) falling. I think it's a scene you have to understand to enjoy. If you don't like it, it's fine. I just think it has a lot more going on than it might seem at first.
@@Kookos21 Where did the game say why they came back? Or even if they stopped being afraid of living? It sounds like you’re giving the game more depth than it has.

Today i listened a lot to the Xenoblade OST and shade some or better a lot of Tears. Now I saw that you Covered this masterpiece! My Eyes can't keep up Dude.
MAS-TER-PIECE !!! I love Xenoblade games so much and your previous covers of other songs were already really great (Mechanical Rhythm in my veins) but this one is just perfect !! Thank you so much for all your amazing work !! Next one : Hometown from XC1 on doorbell ? (just imagine)
Best cover of this piece I've heard, by far! One of the best themes in the Xenoblade trilogy, part of a trio of related themes in XC1 and 3 (Engage the Enemy and The Weight of Life, respectively), all three are amazing...
I've said it before and I'll say it again, whenever Jules does a metal cover of video game music he truly encapsulates the artistic feel and emotions that the piece evokes. Not to say that other metal artists on the platform aren't good, but the quality the Jules puts forth goes beyond matching the song note for note. Another well-done piece, my guy!
This is one of my favorites from the Xenoblade series and you more than did it justice. In particular, the original "feels" like it switches back and forth between ~80 bpm and ~160 bpm, whereas yours manages to keep the "slow" feel during the intense sections. That's hard to pull off!
Sick cover! Though you did this one justice for sure, I hope you get to hear it in action in-game soon enough. When this track starts playing, you know epic shit is about to go down!

Gosh this song is such a banger oh my gosh
The Legend
Xenoblade Chronicles is really good with game music it always slaps.
YOO THIS ONE IS A WELCOME SURPRISE
Yes, I totally welcome all Xenoblade content, especially 2! Such an awesome cover!
LET'S SHOW THEM A THING OR THREE!
COME ON MYTHRA! LET’S GO PYRA!
the reason i subscribed
hot damn I love this song and I haven't even played the game, very happy people voted for this one
That was incredible. Do more, We need all the Xenoblade covers !!!!!!!!!!!!
Every time I hear this song I’m reminded of why XC2 is my fave xeno game and you 200% did it justice
One of the best Xenoblade themes, thanks for this cover!! 🙏
This top 20 list is all bangers. Lots of people do metal covers… but yours at the “Definitive Edition” in my book.
Realistically speaking, I shouldn't really get nostalgia from this, but I do. Awesome cover.
The game is 6 years old now LOL
Just felt my bones turn to dust inside me Jesus it's been over half a decade @@hadokenexe
what no way, @@hadokenexe
@@hadokenexebro out here making me wish for the endless now
@@hadokenexe I mean, yeah, but i played it like 2 years ago, and im a grown adult, so i get what hes saying
This is an absolute beauty of a cover Jules! Amazing job!
man, that part around 1:00 still sends shivers down my back
even in this cover
Bro, I needed this. Currently struggling through a math test (online) and this gave me the strength I need to charge at these problems head on!
Everyone has been doing a cover of this song lately and i love it. Keep up the good work!
You’ve been absolutely killing it lately dude!

This brings me back. Xenoblade 2 changed my life and what i thought gaming/storytelling was. Thanks for this wonderful cover.

Thanks for the 21st present Jules! Love how the cover manages to capture the same energy as the original while still being distinct
Great cover! Thanks for this!
Man you are in for it with Xenoblade 2, my favorite game of all time and also my favorite video game OST of all time.
This was rad! Great job! I'd love to hear a metal cover of the Chain Attack theme from Xenoblade 3
Xenoblade 2 and its OST deserve all the love, fantastic work Jules! So glad that the fans recognize Counterattack as one of their favorite VGM of all time. Keep on shredding.

@@hexwavemusicThink You Can Take Me?!
@@hexwavemusic truly one of the worst patches to ever been green lit 😔
Ah bro the 2nd half is peak fiction, the highs of the second half of the game has yet to be matched by the other Xenoblade games
Impressive work as usual, man. Absolutely love it!
LET'S GOOOOO!!!!! This is AWESOME!
Gives me the same chills as the original. Well done Jules!!
The bass, oh my GOSH

FINALLY! I’ve been waiting so long for your rendition, and it’s just as amazing as I imagined it would be.
I’m glad to see a Xenoblade song, any Xenoblade song, got votes in the community poll. Awesome cover
Waited for this for a long time thank you Jules and your team!
Two covers of Counterattack from Jack and Jules? Blessed timeline!
That modulation never gets old
There are so many tracks from XBC2 that deserve a cover...
Had me at Xenoblade 2! This rocks!
I’m confused what does this mean
@@Magic_Ice means I basically only read the title and bolted to listening to it.
@@CindyHelms ohhhh i get it.
And same
was not expecting this this is a very pleasant surprise
Blessed with another banger!
AYOOOOO this is awesome.
Please give us more Xenoblade 2 music! This game‘s soundtrack is meant to be turned into marvelous metal covers!!

It’s ok Jules if you don’t have the emotional attachment to the original, WE DOO!

I just finished the whole Xenoblade trilogy not too long ago so it’s awesome to see a cover so soon after, hope we can get more in the future!
Absolute Banger
Man right when I started replaying the game too. Perfect timing for me!
I'm in love with this Jules. This is awesome.
another fine cover from our boy!

I was just thinking about this song! Nice.
I have waited 6 years for this. Finally, the wait is paying off
