Off-Seer - Mio (originally unofficially referred to as Agnian Off-Seeing Tune) is Disc 4, Track 9 on the Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Original Soundtrack and Disc 15, Track 9 on the Xenoblade Chronicles Original Soundtrack Trinity Box. Its melody is used as a motif in many tracks; in particular, it forms the higher flute line for A Life Sent On.

Mio (and, after the two exchange flutes, Noah) play this piece when Off-seeing. Mio and Miyabi play it together in the last part of Mio's flashback at the start of Side Story: Mio.

Album notes

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

ミオの「おくりびと」のメロディは、ノアの「おくりびと」 のメロディと対になっており、一緒に演奏すると美しいみこと ハーモニーを奏でます。 先にも述べたように「命 (みこと)」の部分はそれぞれのおくりびとが自由にメロディを考える事 ができる為、一致する事はないはずですが、 ミオとノアは特別な想いで繋がっているという解釈で同時に演奏し ても1曲として成立するようになっています。 ミヤビやクリスの「おくりびと」のメロディでは綺麗なハーモニー を奏でる事ができないのは 「思想が違う」という解釈になります。
