Xenogears Original Soundtrack

The Xenogears Original Soundtrack is the official soundtrack to Xenogears. It was originally released on 2 CDs in Mar 01, 1998, exclusively published in Japan. It consists of 44 pieces of music. 41 of these are instrumental; it also includes a choral song in the Bulgarian folk style with lyrics written by Tetsuya Takahashi, and two other lyrical pieces performed by Joanne Hogg with lyrics written by Masato Kato. All tracks were composed by Yasunori Mitsuda. According to Mitsuda, the music was composed with strong influences from traditional music, especially Celtic music.
The soundtrack was rereleased on Apr 04, 2018 as Xenogears Original Soundtrack Revival Disc -the first and the last-, with music videos and differently localised track titles. In addition, the track Premonition was included (which was not on the Xenogears Original Soundtrack — however, confusingly, a different track was named Premonition on that release), and four vocal remixes of existing tracks sung by the Irish choir ANÚNA were also arranged for this disc.
The original version of the soundtrack was also added to Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, YouTube, Deezer, Line Music, Awa, the Itunes Store, Mora, Recochoku, Dwango, and Animelo for the 26th anniversary of Xenogears in 2024, with the Revival track localisations. Many of the music videos from the Revival Disc were also uploaded to the Square Enix YouTube channel.
A keychain of the Original Soundtrack was made and sold by Square Enix at the Tokyo Game Show 2024.
