With a team helmed by legendary JRPG composer Yasunori Mitsuda (of Chrono Trigger, Xenogears, and Chrono Cross fame), and made up of Xenoblade series veterans ACE, Kenji Hiramatsu, and Manami Kiyota, there's no doubt the music will be quality. And basically, every single trailer has confirmed that.\u003Cbr \u002F>\r\n\u003Cbr \u002F>\r\n\u003Cbr \u002F>\r\nOne of the most arresting tunes we've heard is the game's main theme — A Life Sent On. Lead by a beautiful Celtic-sounding flute, and evoking powerful emotions, this stunned us from the very first trailer it was used in. It's haunting, and despite sounding a little Celtic (a bit of a signature sound for Mitsuda), there's something very unique about it. And it turns out that it's all down to some custom-made flutes.\u003Cbr \u002F>\r\n\u003Cbr \u002F>\r\n\u003Cbr \u002F>\r\nIn an 'Ask The Developer' interview published on Nintendo's website, director and producer at Monolith Soft — Koh Kojima — revealed that it was Mitsuda's idea to create a unique flute so that the game's signature sound would be distinctive.\u003Cbr \u002F>\r\n\u003Cbr \u002F>\r\n\u003Cbr \u002F>\r\n\u003Cstrong>\u003Cem>\"Before Mitsuda-san started writing the music, he said, \"Let's make flutes.\" I wondered why we should be making them, but Mitsuda-san said, \"By making the flutes from scratch, you can create a sound that hasn't been heard before.\" Since we had told Mitsuda-san in advance that Takahashi-san wanted to interweave the two melodies of Noah and Mio into a single piece of music, Mitsuda-san seemed to have thought that creating the flutes from scratch would enable him to choose a scale freely and express himself more easily. Above all, he said to me that the fact that the same flutes used in the game exist in real life would be compelling and unique. It sounded interesting, so I decided to give it a try.\"\u003C\u002Fem>\u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003Cbr \u002F>\r\n\u003Cbr \u002F>\r\n\u003Cbr \u002F>\r\nSo, of course, Monolith Soft created two unique flutes just for this piece of music. And they might look a little bit familiar if you've been keeping an eye on your Xenoblade Chronicles 3 trailers, tweets, and promotional material:\u003Cbr \u002F>\r\n\u003Cbr \u002F>\r\n\u003Cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\u002F\u002Fimages.nintendolife.com\u002Fd4c923759f26b\u002Ffyrmzv0xoaaqazh.900x.jpg\" style=\"height:422px; width:750px\" \u002F>\u003Cbr \u002F>\r\n \u003C\u002Fp>\r\n\r\n\u003Cp>These two flutes are based on the flutes that Noah and Mio play in-game. Not only is the flute a key instrument for the game's music, but it's also an important narrative device. Played by an Off-Seer, this person uses the flute to send off the dead with a beautiful, ethereal song. So there was no other way about it — that main theme, the one that plays when Noah is first seen playing the flute in the trailer, had to be played with the same instrument by the musicians. Bravo, Monolith Soft.\u003Cbr \u002F>\r\n\u003Cbr \u002F>\r\n\u003Cbr \u002F>\r\nThe two flutes also have totally different sounds to each other, too. Genki Yokota, from Nintendo Entertainment's Planning and Production Department, shared that the two flutes were specifically made to be different from one another:\u003Cbr \u002F>\r\n\u003Cbr \u002F>\r\n\u003Cbr \u002F>\r\n\u003Cstrong>\u003Cem>\"...the music is comprised of two distinct melodies, one of Noah and one of Mio. Noah’s melody is played by a larger flute with a slightly lower pitch, whereas Mio’s melody is played by a smaller flute with a slightly higher pitch.\"\u003C\u002Fem>\u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003Cbr \u002F>\r\n\u003Cbr \u002F>\r\n\u003Cbr \u002F>\r\nBut this is all just about one theme at the moment, isn't it? Yokota revealed that there are 140 tracks in the game — one hundred and forty. And creative director Tetsuya Takahashi felt like that wasn't quite enough! Phew.\u003Cbr \u002F>\r\n\u003Cbr \u002F>\r\n\u003Cbr \u002F>\r\nAre you looking forward to the music of Xenoblade Chronicles 3?\u003Cbr \u002F>\r\n\u003Cbr

Chronicles 3 is almost out and - according to a whole bunch of media outlets - is a pretty good game. We're often guilty of not sufficiently appreciating the work that goes into creating such a massive title, so it's always fun to get insight from game developers on how they approach aspects like game design and art direction.\u003Cbr \u002F>\r\n\u003Cbr \u002F>\r\n\u003Cbr \u002F>\r\nIn Nintendo's latest 'Ask the Developer' post, Monolith Soft developers - including Senior Director Tetsuya Takahashi, Producer\u002FDirector Koh Kojima, and Director and Planner Genki Yokota - got together to talk through the visual and sound direction for the upcoming JRPG.\u003Cbr \u002F>\r\n\u003Cbr \u002F>\r\n\u003Cbr \u002F>\r\nPerhaps most surprisingly, when asked about whether deciding on the final visual design for the main characters was a smooth process, Koh Kojima replied with a resounding \"no\", elaborating that it was a \"hellish process of trial and error\":\u003Cbr \u002F>\r\n\u003Cbr \u002F>\r\n\u003Cbr \u002F>\r\n\u003Cem>\u003Cstrong>Do you feel that you were able to decide on the visual design of the main characters quite smoothly?\u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003C\u002Fem>\u003Cbr \u002F>\r\n\u003Cbr \u002F>\r\n\u003Cstrong>\u003Cem>Kojima: \u003C\u002Fem>\u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003Cem>No, it was a hellish process of trial and error... (Laughs) We especially struggled to decide on the design concept for Noah. During development, Saito-san [Freelance Character Artist on Xenoblade 2 and 3] came to the MONOLITHSOFT office and worked with us. His seat was in front of Takahashi-san's workspace. We used Takahashi-san’s words to conjure up an image of the characters and convey the intended feeling to Saito-san, who drew various illustrations based on that. However, Takahashi-san looked at the illustrations at the end of the day and said, \"No. This isn't it.\" (Laughs) We had to repeat this process again and again.\u003C\u002Fem>\u003Cbr \u002F>\r\n\u003Cbr \u002F>\r\n\u003Cstrong>\u003Cem>Takahashi: \u003C\u002Fem>\u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003Cem>We particularly struggled with Noah's design. Saito-san came up with all kinds of illustrations, but somehow none of them quite looked like Noah... I think I mentioned earlier that I wanted Noah, the main protagonist, to be positioned as a philosopher or poet, but I didn't want him to be seen as a weak-willed character. However, I also didn't want him to look too pompous.\u003C\u002Fem>\u003Cbr \u002F>\r\n\u003Cbr \u002F>\r\n\u003Cstrong>\u003Cem>Kojima: \u003C\u002Fem>\u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003Cem>The drafts he drew seemed to be at the two extremes. Some made him look fierce, while others looked somewhat gentle.\u003Cbr \u002F>\r\nTakahashi: I was also worried that his speech might sound pompous if the character design was too noble. We struggled to come up with a design concept that made us think, \"Yes, this is Noah!\"\u003C\u002Fem>\u003Cbr \u002F>\r\n\u003Cbr \u002F>\r\n\u003Cbr \u002F>\r\n\u003Cimg alt=\"\"

\u002F>\r\nOn the flip side, Kojima confirmed that the same process for other characters in the game was comparatively easier, because their core appearance was already defined in their character profiles.\u003Cbr \u002F>\r\n\u003Cbr \u002F>\r\n\u003Cbr \u002F>\r\nWill you be picking up Xenoblade Chronicles 3 on Friday?\u003Cbr \u002F>\r\n \u003C\u002Fp>\r\n\r\n\u003Cp>Read the \u003Ca
