If you love the Xenoblade Chronicles series, regardless of what your favourite game in the franchise is, there's something everyone can agree on — the music is phenomenal.
Earlier this year, not only did we get a long-awaited release date for the Xenoblade Chronicles 3 soundtrack, but we also got the reveal stunning new 'Trinity Box' soundtrack that would contain music from every single Xenoblade game — from Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition all the way through to Future Redeemed, the final part of Xenoblade Chronicles 3's DLC.
The Trinity Box is an absolute beast of a soundtrack collection — 20 CDs worth of music, over 350 songs, and over 20 hours of music from six interlinking stories. The cover reveal didn't come until after the aforementioned DLC was released, and there was a reason for that — spoilers. Designed after the Trinity Processor, if you don't know what that is, well... now is not the time to explain it, but it's a crucial part of the Xenoblade franchise.
The Trinity Box was only available for pre-order at Procyon Studio — which is Yasunori Mitsuda's (one of the many composers who has worked on the series) production studio — during April. This writer was lucky enough to snag one, and it came at a hefty USD $155 including shipping. And all six soundtracks are here — Definitive Edition, Future Connected, Xenoblade Chronicles 2, Torna - The Golden Country, Xenoblade Chronicles 3, and Future Redeemed.
Also with the soundtrack is a booklet, which contains comments from many of the series' composers such as ACE, Manami Kiyota, and Mitsuda. There's also a note from series creator Tetsuya Takahashi, who gives a rather amusing anecdote on why he thought of using jazz music in Torna — thanks to Damien Chazelle's incredible movie Whiplash for inspiring.
But that's enough talk about the soundtrack itself — why not bask in this chunky box of music in our gallery?


While you can't buy the Trinity Box anymore, you can purchase all of the numbered game soundtracks separately now on Procyon Studio's website and other retailers. And some soundtracks are even available digitally on Apple Music or Amazon Music to purchase.

That would be an amazing collectible to have! As for the question at the bottom, my favorite OST is between 2 and 3. I really can’t pick between them as they both do different styles extremely well. XC2 is a straight up banger of a soundtrack through and through, but XC3’s is a lot more emotional and feels more cinematic in ways. But you can’t go wrong either way
Cool collectible. Definitely not worth the secondhand price it will inevitably end up at though.
I like that the poll specifies Definitive Edition. Like, if you preferred the Wii / 3DS version of Xeno 1's ost, then too bad! No poll option for you!
(tbh, I do in fact prefer the Wii version of "You Will Know Our Names" at the very least)
I may have to pick up the individual OSTs. Would love to rip them to FLAC.
I listen to all of these soundtracks outside of the game on pretty much a regular basis. I really can't pick a favorite lol. Even the expansions for each of these have incredible music.
Square Enix, please convince Nintendo to do a Theathrythm-style Xenoblade game with you!
Man, I can't wait for mine to come in with the xenoblade 3 limited edition CD set with the replica flutes. Just waiting on that shipping notification.
Xenoblade 2 is my least favourite entry overall, but it definitely has the best music.
Sad that XCX isn’t included- now how am I going to listen to my favourite songs no3=NO.EX01, N木ig木ht木L and raTEoREkiSImeAra?
I got mine too! A complete collection of my absolute favorite soundtracks from one of my favorite series was just too tempting. I won't even touch it without washing my hands first, so seeing it sitting in the grass is a bit jarring. Though my answer to the poll is actually the original, non-remastered Xenoblade Chronicles soundtrack, which luckily I also grabbed a few years back.
Damn… if there’s any soundtrack that deserves the love it’s Xenoblade… the three games have probably my top 5 gaming soundtracks of all time and X isn’t even that far behind.
I didn’t buy any of the boxes since I don’t have a CD player + too expensive but these look absolutely gorgeous. So glad to see the series get the love it deserves
Voted for XC1 but it's pretty close. Probably would have just gone with the last option if X wasn't included in the poll.
Xenoblade 2, Our Eternal Land and/or We Are The Chosen Ones.
Xenoblade X, 'In the forest', Sylvalum and Melonica are my favourite tunes .
Was this released already. I don't remember if I pre-order one
UPDATE: Oh man, I only bought the Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Limited Edition and not the Trinity. I probably forgot about it.
Original Gaur Plain > Definitive Edition Gaur Plain, change my mind.
Torigoth (Day) is possibly the greatest video game song ever made. It’s certainly up there for me.
As for XC3, I don’t get what all the accolades are for. There are a handful of great tunes, but almost every area track in XC1 and 2 was fire. XC3 has Colony 4, and I enjoy the panpipes in Eagus Wilderness, but that’s all I can name offhand.
Why didn't you tell us before they were sold out Nintendo life?
The soundtracks are phenomenal (except that tyrant theme in 2 screw that migraine inducing alarm clock), but man I hope Yoko Shimomura comes back someday. Definitive Edition was my dream team of composers with the iconic title theme to the melancholic build up of the Agniratha theme. Satorl Marsh's bass line just ascends. Hell they used Unfinished Business for a single scene.... and I didn't complain.
X really is the red head step child of the series that everyone else tries to ignore lol
Xenoblade has incredible music for sure but Xenogears trumps them all.
In fact, Xenogears might be the best soundtrack ever made.
Aww. They really did go and forget XenoX again.
Unless they secretly have more planned for that, for /after/ XC3.
I think I can justify the price😂
This collection really looks beautiful. It makes me rethink about every one of them and which reminds me how desperately I want to be able to play Xenoblade Chronicles X on my Switch. I truly miss that game.
And to my recollection one of the last few Wii U titles which isn't playable on the Switch.
Side note: I don't think it's a question if for example The Wind Waker comes to the Switch. But I fear they might forget to bring Xenoblade Chronicles X over.
A rather lovely edition! Got mine about a week ago and it's great.
Decided to go for this one, as it pissed me off how the individual releases all came into different types of boxes and would look terrible on a shelf.
Too bad they didn't include X as well, but at least the individual release of that is still available at decent prices.
In a day and age where I rarely have time to play games anymore, let alone revisit 100+ hour ones, I spend a lot of time listening to game soundtracks, especially on the days I work from home. Looking forward to going through all 20 discs.
To the author of the pictures - I see your box got dented in shipping as well - Procyon are aware of a packaging issue with some of the batches that shipped first and are sending out replacement boxes. Contact them if you want one.
