Xenoblade Original Soundtrack

The Xenoblade Original Soundtrack is the official soundtrack to Xenoblade Chronicles and the most complete release of the music of this game. It was released on 4 CDs only in Japan in 2010. It was composed by ACE+, Manami Kiyota, Yoko Shimomura and Yasunori Mitsuda. The ending theme, Beyond the Sky, features vocals from Sarah Àlainn.
Discs 1 and 2 feature mostly tracks used in cutscenes while Discs 3 and 4 contain area background music and battle themes. The front of each CD features official artwork of one of the playable characters: Shulk for disc 1, Fiora for disc 2, Reyn for disc 3, and Sharla for disc 4.
The soundtrack comes with a booklet featuring a track listing (including the composer(s) for each track), album notes from each of the composers as well as Tetsuya Takahashi, lyrics to Beyond the Sky, and credits. The soundtrack's outer case and the front of the booklet both feature the design on the front of the game's boxart: the Monado embedded in a field (possibly Gaur Plain) with the Mechonis looming in the background.
