Album notes[edit]

Album notes written by Yasunori Mitsuda. No official translation exists.

この曲も「楽園」がテーマですが、オープニングの曲とは少々視点が異なります。オープニング曲での「楽園」はゲーム全体の大きなシンボルとしての位置づけで、こちらの曲はアルストに住む人々の「楽園」への憧れや、憧憬、歴史などがテーマとなっています。「楽園」を基軸として進んでいく壮大なストーリーを一貫したテーマで表現していくには多面的なアプローチが必要だと感じ、テーマ曲は二つ作ることにしました。

Notes[edit]

  1. The version on the Xenoblade Chronicles 2 Sound Selection is several seconds shorter than the version on the Xenoblade2 Original Soundtrack as a result of Xenoblade II - Where It All Began - smoothly transitioning into this track.
