Noah and N is Disc 8, Track 4 on the Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Original Soundtrack and Disc 19, Track 4 on the Xenoblade Chronicles Original Soundtrack Trinity Box.
It uses a variety of motifs from other tracks.
- From Moebius: The melody at 0:18 and 0:30 is based upon Moebius 2; at 1:14 it uses Moebius 3; and at 1:44 it uses Moebius 4.
- From Ouroboros Awakening: The melody at 2:24 uses Ouroboros 2, and from 3:14 it is adapted from Ouroboros 1.
- From A Life Sent On/Off-Seer - Noah and Off-Seer - Mio: 4:11 uses the melodies from the B sections of Off-Seer - Noah and Off-Seer - Mio. 4:41 and 5:02 use the A section of Off-Seer - Noah.
The track plays when fighting N in Origin and throughout Future Redeemed.
Different sections of the track play in different circumstances. In the first phase in Origin and at Raguel Lake, the loop consists of 0:30 to 2:24; in the second phase in Origin and at Prison Terrace, it consists of 0:44 to 5:10. The second phase also has a different introductory section which is based upon Off-Seer - Crys. The start of the track on the OST corresponds to an introductory section before the loop begins in the first phase; the equivalent section in the second phase is not on the OST.
Album notes[edit]
- Album notes written by Yasunori Mitsuda. No official translation exists.
エヌとの戦闘は2回おこなわれますが、 前半の闘いでは運命への憤り、 エヌの狂気などを表現し、2回目の戦闘では(2:24あたりから) エヌの悲しみからスタートし、 曲の後半になるにつれてノアがエヌを受け入れる気持ち が現れてきます。 「メビウス」のテーマと 「おくりびと」のテーマを繰り返す事により、 揺れ動くエヌの気持ちを 音楽が代弁しているように聴かせたいと思いました。もはや一般的なRPGのバトル曲ではなく、 とてもドラマチ ックな一曲に仕上がったのではないでしょうか。
Trivia[edit]
- The vocals on Noah and N are performed by sisters Aisling and Lauren McGlynn of ANÚNA, reprising their vocal roles on the two tracks Ouroboros Awakening and Moebius respectively.
