Tactical Action (Dynamic) is Disc 1, Track 3 in on the Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Original Soundtrack and Disc 12, Track 3 on the Xenoblade Chronicles Original Soundtrack Trinity Box.
In-game, it is split into three pieces:
- 0:00 to 0:29 is Tactical Action (Dynamic B).
- 0:29 to 1:10 is Tactical Action (Dynamic C).
- 1:10 to 1:50 is Tactical Action (Dynamic A).[1]
All three sections are cutscene and area themes in specific story instances. When one of them is the area theme, the track transitions into Tactical Action when battle starts, and is smoothly transitioned back into once battle concludes.

Album notes[edit]

作戦行動中 敵の間をかい潜って目的地に向かっている時の曲です。 今回、状況によって曲と曲とがシームレス に切り替わるインタラクティブ要素にチャレンジしたのですが、 次の 「Tactical Action」 とは同じテンポと楽曲 構成ですが楽器編成が異なります。 両者のメリハリを出すためこちらはメロディは主張せずリズムラインを主体 に編成しました。 戦いと戦いの間、緊張感を保ちつつ目的地に向かうシーンをイメージしました。
