Getting to Indol for the first time was one of those rare moments when I just stop, take in the atmosphere, and think "I'm so glad I'm playing this game right now."
It was pretty much the point where it made me feel like reflecting on the journey so far. I was worried that XC2 wouldn't live up to the original Xenoblade, but when I first heard this, I felt assured and was like "Nah, the rest of this game will be just fine and this music proves it!"
Same, I remember getting to Indol, running around a bit, then stopping and releasing that the background music had lyrics and I just stopped for like 5 minutes listening to it. It's too damn pretty and suits Indol so well
Poor Indoline Titan. Been flapping its wings for over a thousand years without rest, and for 500 years, it’s been prepared to become an oppressive weapon.
Took a little while for me to realize that both this and Tantals theme are sung in English! Normally RPGs stick to either gibberish/Latin for their vocal tracks.

I cannot thank everyone involved with the choral music enough. As a choral singer myself, I have never been drawn to listen to game choral music outside of context until this game came out. Pretty sure this is the first area in any game I've ever sat idle just to listen to the music.
Our eternal land is keeping us in warm embrace Some must carry on God's will And some must face the dark It's in Father's wishes we live Let us come together We must never give up Let those people see Guide the ones who cannot hear Voices guide us through Words from above, we are the chosen ones We are softly Indol's wings Safely at our hearts we Sleep in silence We're not feeling I won't feel sad, while I just mind Guardian angels they too will keep us safe. The path we chose is cold and the dark has no place to dream Must we go on? Will we ever prevail and smile in peace?
It's kind of odd that the song mentions God directly, when the game always refers to the Architect as what Indol worships. Matter of fact, with the exception of the Indols wings line, the entire song is reminiscent of a song sung by a church choir.
i wish it hadn't been spoiled for me, but just like Alcamoth, it was kind of important in order to warn players to get things done.. plus it hinted pretty hard with how little there *was* to do and with how much it resembled alcamoth in other ways. If you're part of an ancient civilization of long-lived beings in an elaborate, churchety city in a Xeno game, you've got a big red target painted on your back.

I knew there was lyrics to this I could just never hear them I only ever caught “as we sleep in silence” But thank you man now I can finally understand the meaning of this song
As Indoline guys are like... Well... Astartes from Warhammer 40k (i mean just like Astartes they're brainwashed psychos trained for mass murders)... I can't say if the theme is legit and pure... Or just 100% ironic with something that might look cool and peaceful... While in fact being just a fancy stuff to hide chaos and bloodbath. x) (Like many, many, MANY chapters from any monotheistic religion) Do u guys think composers went that far writting this? x)
I got to Indol for the first time today. I have never finished this game (despite owning it for over a year) and for some reason hearing this song, made me cry. I have no clue why. I have no connections to this song. But here I am, headphones on, crying at a song I know almost nothing about.
@@ledfloyd9035 Yeah I did. I beat it in one fell swoop. I did really enjoy it (not as much as the original Xenoblade). I did actually start a NG+ I never finished the NG+ tho as I got distracted 😅
It's so beautiful, but the actual words they're singing are both tragic and disturbing. It's like a microcosm of the game in general; everything seems all shounen action-y and fantasy, but it's hiding a whole other, more complex layer beneath it. I have my thoughts about the story and gameplay, but the music definitely acheived what it set out for.
if you listen super super closely you can sometimes a single bass that is killing those super low notes and combined with the rest of the chords is a real bone chiller. I believe around 1:43 is where he comes in. architect bless em.
This music has a special place in my heart. One time, I had an anxiety crisis, and I tried to watch a playthrough of this game (that I was keeping up with at the time) to try and calm down. That's when the guy I was watching got to the praetorium and this masterpiece started playing. I felt so much peace and I was barely paying attention to the game
Knowung eveything behind Indol and Amalthus just gives a mix of holy and scary vibes. This is just the Church with power and control over the world, every time I listed to this i feel relaxed and peaceful like I'm in front of God on a hhopeful place, then the scary kick in and I feel incredible disturbed. Mucic theory at its peak.
this song is so beautiful. it gives me nostalgic feelings because my father used to play this kind of music every Sunday when I grew up. the ending part is perfect btw, gives me chills every time and I keep replaying that part for like 6 times before going to the next song :P kinda sad (but understable) that it isn't in the game.
I grew up Catholic, so I've always felt comforted by the church aesthetic. Stained glass, high vaulted ceilings, ornate golden vessels, choral music like this. Its a shame that so often the church aesthetic is used for the bad guys.
It is a rather mature depiction however. Amalthus was a misled, broken man with very human goals, he's the Klaus of Alrest. And Indol did not only help those in need during wars, but also was the lead nation in mathematics and sciences, and further helped in the research and development of Alrest, both good and bad. And this song represents indolines do strive for that harmony within their world and religion. I think it's very well done and further feeds onto Malos' development as much more personal.
@@ShurikanBladeno,this is related about the the religon cultural history of Japan.

Hearing that this is many people's least favourite game in the series, I'm so glad I'm starting with it. This piece of music alone has been with the journey to Indol. Looking forward to playing the other games immensely.
Easy. Every Time he mentions a song people realize the song is great and come watch, then youtube thinks this song is the best in the OST and recommends it.
When I first reached Indol, it reminds me of the Columbia city from Bioshock Infinite. In fact, these 2 cities are having quite some similarities and ended up with same fate, destruction.
I like how both places feel like utopia's when you arrive but their leaders (Comstock and Amalthus) are not as benevolent as they appear to be. I'm currently on my first playthrough and when I first met Amalthus, I instinctively did not trust him.
I almost didn’t come back to this game after leaving it for awhile. I woulda never heard this absolute masterpiece!! I’m so thankful I did bc it quickly became one of my favs ever.
I love how the same song can sound harmonious and extremely wicked and dark without changing anything, just story progression. Love to hate you, Bitchmalthus.
It reallly isn't. The walks aren't even that long, some people's attention spans are just THAT bad... 💀💀💀 And if they DO feel THAT long, then you have this heavenly music to accompany you along the way, which should be more than enough to keep you focused, interested, etc.
@@lemmyxpro Yes, the walks aren't that long. It's just that you have to do it so many times. Also, the whole point of my comment was that it isn't that bad because of the music.
The moment I arrive to Indol was: wow so beautiful. Then when I saw Amalthus, and basically everyone in Indol giving in silver plating the main party objectives, it was "there's something REALLY wrong with this place", honestly any universe where exist an EXTREMELY powerful religious influenced nation that saids that only wants to help the main characters, it's never a good sign.
at the time I was like:"yeah, ok, why tf should they treat us like this" and then amalthus goes with:"ye, so I basically created malos and it's my fault if everyone died, yup, sorry, can you fix that since I can't?", so I believed that the bad stuff made by the pope in this game would stop at that, AND YET
I don't get why you felt the need to add "religious influenced". Any large society which wants to support a small group out of "goodness of their heart" is and will be fishy and there will almost always be strings attached. In XC2 alone we see it happen plenty. Every single power in that world wants to claim Aegis for their own reasons, to destroy or control it. Uraya, Mor Ardain, Tantal, Praetorium. Each wants that and at first acts hospitable or doesn't try to hide their intentions. So, yeah, your prejudices are showing.
This game frustrated me to no end, and although I did find it a fun game, I was just ready to give it up and play something else entirely. This song singlehandedly saved this game for me. To just hear this gorgeous angelic chorus singing amidst everything was just fucking beautiful. I can now say I've enjoyed this game to it's (near) completion, and I have this song to thank for that.
@@notkamui9749 a lot of the combat felt very awkward for me as I was new to the play style, and I also didn't really understand a lot of the tutorials so I didn't understand how to perform the combos and elemental orb breaks. I had to read a comment somewhere that explained it perfectly, but the game I felt overcomplicated it a bit. Plus the environment can be weird to fight in. Sometimes you'll get gravitated to little holes that kill you. It's a breathtaking game, just some things that early on frustrated me.
I do understand what you mean! I’ve had this game since it first came out in 2017 and I’m only trying to finish it now because the first one is 11 days away. I do love this game but it got a bit annoying after awhile trying to figure out the affinity charts and how to unlock stuff

@@Chlocean It was not implied it would sound good in Latin at all. It was actually outright stated. The implication was that it doesn't sound amazing yet.
I absolutely love the "awful good" trope, and JRPGs, especially Xeno JRPGs, excel at this and at the challenge the mother church vibe! The first time I got to Indol I basked in it. Spoilers... . . . . . . . . and then new game plus assured me I'd never lose it forever!
I dunno what it is, but I just freaking LOVE Choir music like this. And it just fits the aesthetic of Indol so perfectly as well. Pretty sure this was one of the pieces Matsuda composed, it definitely sounds like his work - reminds me a little of Shevat. Man F SQEX for being dicks about the Xenogears IP. Not that I haven't adored Xenoblade, but I really wish Takahashi could be allowed to finish his grand vision.
Indol gets even more sadder when you realize that the refugees are . . . (Spoilers for Xeno 2 and Torna) there for Amalthus because he likes to see humanity in that state.
"We're the chosen ones from up above the holy sky" Before I played Xenoblade (first XC2 then XC1 and then again XC2) I din't believed in something like "God", but after play this amazing masterpieces I started to believe in something like God; watching and listening to Klaus as the Architect talking about how he banished and then created live in Alrest was the catalyst to believe in that. You just realize that maybe someone just created us in base of an experiment just to deny the creation he made…
I'm pretty sure the whole message of xc2+1 is to deny the existence of a 'god' or higher power But I guess in works as a whole the intended interpretation does not matter, only that of the one interpreting.
Although walking back and forth to each objective in this area may have been tiresome, this song made me okay with it, it's just so atmospherically put together to the point where it didn't bother me.
The music is great and all, but the second I walked in there I was on edge. It’s all too white, too clean and too religious. The chanting makes it ominous. I had the same feeling when I first entered Alcamoth. I haven’t finished XC2 yet, so I’m curious to see if my hunch is proven correct (don’t spoil it pls lol) Edit: I was right.
That's because they actually took the time to hire an native-English-speaking choir. But personally I'm surprised that they didn't "keep it local" (and thus, cheaper) by composing the vocal songs in Japanese and hire native-Japanese-speaking choirs/singers instead.
@@Mazryonh One of the composers was a long-time fan of the ensemble and their style and it happened that they were travelling to Japan anyway. Apparently the lyrics were written by the game's director but they might have been tidied up by Anúna
@@jackbutler6606 That explains it. So it was convenient that Anuna was heading to Japan at the time the game was developed. It would have been more difficult had they still been in Ireland and have to work with Yasunori Mitsuda remotely.
This track alone is reason for xeno to be the face of Nintendo and not zelda, BOTW with its garbage story didn't deserve all that recognition only its world was good which was also created by the xeno team, monlithsoft are the goat.

No me cansaré de decir que la banda sonora de este juego es la mejor que he escuchado en mi vida✨✨
De hecho!
This is track is very much like Yasunori Mitsuda's work for Xenogears, or should I say its arranged albums (and most recent orchestra concert).
Idk about you guys but 0:49 just hits different
The choir did an amazing job with their pitches and unity. Even though the lyrics are happy this song can make you feel a loneliness.
You know, maybe walking back and forth across Indol isn't all that bad...
It reallly isn't. The walks aren't even that long, some people's attention spans are just THAT bad... 💀💀💀
And if they DO feel THAT long, then you have this heavenly music to accompany you along the way, which should be more than enough to keep you focused, interested, etc.
@@lemmyxpro Yes, the walks aren't that long. It's just that you have to do it so many times.
Also, the whole point of my comment was that it isn't that bad because of the music.
The moment I arrive to Indol was: wow so beautiful.
Then when I saw Amalthus, and basically everyone in Indol giving in silver plating the main party objectives, it was "there's something REALLY wrong with this place", honestly any universe where exist an EXTREMELY powerful religious influenced nation that saids that only wants to help the main characters, it's never a good sign.
The Priest usually the bad guy in video games, this game didn’t even try hiding it and I liked that
at the time I was like:"yeah, ok, why tf should they treat us like this" and then amalthus goes with:"ye, so I basically created malos and it's my fault if everyone died, yup, sorry, can you fix that since I can't?", so I believed that the bad stuff made by the pope in this game would stop at that, AND YET
I don't get why you felt the need to add "religious influenced".
Any large society which wants to support a small group out of "goodness of their heart" is and will be fishy and there will almost always be strings attached. In XC2 alone we see it happen plenty. Every single power in that world wants to claim Aegis for their own reasons, to destroy or control it. Uraya, Mor Ardain, Tantal, Praetorium. Each wants that and at first acts hospitable or doesn't try to hide their intentions.
So, yeah, your prejudices are showing.
this song is so underrated! one of my favorites
This game frustrated me to no end, and although I did find it a fun game, I was just ready to give it up and play something else entirely.
This song singlehandedly saved this game for me. To just hear this gorgeous angelic chorus singing amidst everything was just fucking beautiful. I can now say I've enjoyed this game to it's (near) completion, and I have this song to thank for that.
@@notkamui9749 a lot of the combat felt very awkward for me as I was new to the play style, and I also didn't really understand a lot of the tutorials so I didn't understand how to perform the combos and elemental orb breaks. I had to read a comment somewhere that explained it perfectly, but the game I felt overcomplicated it a bit.
Plus the environment can be weird to fight in. Sometimes you'll get gravitated to little holes that kill you. It's a breathtaking game, just some things that early on frustrated me.
I do understand what you mean! I’ve had this game since it first came out in 2017 and I’m only trying to finish it now because the first one is 11 days away. I do love this game but it got a bit annoying after awhile trying to figure out the affinity charts and how to unlock stuff
@@folktheologytransition3756 Its a great game but I kind of hope you've played the original xenoblade before beating this one...

@@folktheologytransition3756 wow lol but I played on 3DS lol. The ending of 2 is a massive spoiler for 1 though that why I asked.
imagine if this song was in latin.. holy shit it would sound amazing
implying it doesnt
@@ih1763no, no. It was implied that it isn't amazing
@@jackfitzpatrick4059 no, it was implied that it would sound amazing in latin. It can sound amazing in both languages.
@@Chlocean It was not implied it would sound good in Latin at all. It was actually outright stated. The implication was that it doesn't sound amazing yet.
*Dennis from iasip appears*
Because of the implication
Can't wait to sing this in my church
OMG I love this game
Best song in the game
I absolutely love the "awful good" trope, and JRPGs, especially Xeno JRPGs, excel at this and at the challenge the mother church vibe! The first time I got to Indol I basked in it.
Spoilers...

and then new game plus assured me I'd never lose it forever!
The only thing I hate about this song... I'll never be able to hear it for the first time again.
Mikhail: I'm about to do what's called a "pro gamer move".
I dunno what it is, but I just freaking LOVE Choir music like this. And it just fits the aesthetic of Indol so perfectly as well.
Pretty sure this was one of the pieces Matsuda composed, it definitely sounds like his work - reminds me a little of Shevat.
Man F SQEX for being dicks about the Xenogears IP. Not that I haven't adored Xenoblade, but I really wish Takahashi could be allowed to finish his grand vision.
This got me Enya vibes
what type of music even is this beauty ?
Can’t help but think it’s Mellicia and the choir singing this.😄
I finished that side quest today coincidentally.
Someone had a bro version of this song. Yet, that video has been deleted since. That was also a true work of art.
DONT READ THE REST OF THIS COMMENT IF YOU HAVENT FINISHED THE GAME
Im sad i cant go to Indol anymore and hear this masterpiece in game
Same... 😔
It's weird. This song sounds almost…mournful, somehow, at least to me. Which is actually fitting, considering that someone native to this place dies.
Indol gets even more sadder when you realize that the refugees are . . .
(Spoilers for Xeno 2 and Torna)
there for Amalthus because he likes to see humanity in that state.
going to vatican city with this BGM is so fitting...
and also palestine
"We're the chosen ones from up above the holy sky"
Before I played Xenoblade (first XC2 then XC1 and then again XC2) I din't believed in something like "God", but after play this amazing masterpieces I started to believe in something like God; watching and listening to Klaus as the Architect talking about how he banished and then created live in Alrest was the catalyst to believe in that. You just realize that maybe someone just created us in base of an experiment just to deny the creation he made…
I'm pretty sure the whole message of xc2+1 is to deny the existence of a 'god' or higher power
But I guess in works as a whole the intended interpretation does not matter, only that of the one interpreting.
美しい…
Nobody gives this game enough credit in the music

Smash fans when they don’t get what they want.
Although walking back and forth to each objective in this area may have been tiresome, this song made me okay with it, it's just so atmospherically put together to the point where it didn't bother me.
The music is great and all, but the second I walked in there I was on edge. It’s all too white, too clean and too religious. The chanting makes it ominous. I had the same feeling when I first entered Alcamoth. I haven’t finished XC2 yet, so I’m curious to see if my hunch is proven correct (don’t spoil it pls lol)
Edit: I was right.
sounds weird without the sound of ur footsteps as u walk around
I think anuna is singing this song.
Yep
I'm do glad they didn't Engrish this. It actually makes sense
That's because they actually took the time to hire an native-English-speaking choir. But personally I'm surprised that they didn't "keep it local" (and thus, cheaper) by composing the vocal songs in Japanese and hire native-Japanese-speaking choirs/singers instead.
@@Mazryonh One of the composers was a long-time fan of the ensemble and their style and it happened that they were travelling to Japan anyway. Apparently the lyrics were written by the game's director but they might have been tidied up by Anúna
@@jackbutler6606 That explains it. So it was convenient that Anuna was heading to Japan at the time the game was developed. It would have been more difficult had they still been in Ireland and have to work with Yasunori Mitsuda remotely.
una bestialidad de cancion de mis favoritas del juego
I get lost in this ost
My Eternal land: =c
OUR Eternal Land:
*communism*
This should be called “Our Holy Land”
Our eternal land is a more symbolic title than Holy Land which is just a straightforward description.
Welcome to Our Eternal Land, Population: MY FIST
such a great song until amalthus heals your aching soul lmao
"Maybe they're trying to hard."
これカラオケにあった…
This track alone is reason for xeno to be the face of Nintendo and not zelda, BOTW with its garbage story didn't deserve all that recognition only its world was good which was also created by the xeno team, monlithsoft are the goat.
