In celebration of the release of Xenoblade Chronicles X, here is a Final Fantasy piece that is arranged in the style of the Xenoblade soundtrack, specifically Theme X. Hiroyuki Sawano is my new favorite composer, and I've been listening to Theme X pretty much everyday. His style simply transcends genres, as he is able to combine orchestra, rock, and EDM together in manic fashion, and the way the track keeps on building in grandeur is impressive.

My reasoning for doing this arrangement is that it magnifies the drama and epic scope of the game. Since the original and its remake use a more chibi art style, it may appear more lighthearted than the more modern Final Fantasies. While playing through the overworld song in my head, I realized that the melody fit pretty well with the instrumentation and rhythms that Sawano used in Theme X. What followed was months of figuring out how to recreate the instrument palette for my arrangement. Unfortunately I don't have any EDM knowledge, so I don't have that, and my experience with drums is still limited. However, I peppered in a some medieval instruments to preserve just a little of the original's celtic sound.

The overworld theme consists of only two sections, in contrast to the Verse/Chorus/Bridge format of Theme X. I kept the original melody intact in the beginning, but when expanding on it, in order to fit Theme X's musical progression, I took the memorable parts of the melody (like the 4-note arpeggio, opener) and used them in many unique ways. I also added a bit of my own original melody based on the same rhythm.

Whether I was able to recreate the same level of excitement I feel every time I listen to Theme X is up to you. This was very educational for me. I've been doing too many epic tracks, so expect to hear some more light-hearted pieces in the future.
