Even in the Carpathians, taking a train is still faster than riding a ghoul
Mechonis Field
Kitsch

Here's my rule for music - if you can't impress me, then you should at least try to surprise me. Sometimes I think I mistake being surprised by a song for being impressed by it, at first, and then the magic kinda wears off but at least it's still an entertaining list. EIICTATISFTRAG is one of those little mystery box tracks that kinda keeps doing surprising little things that makes me go "ah! oh, that was fun!" but then at the end I'm not really sure if I liked it or if I was just being distracted from evaluating it as a whole. Eh, I guess I like it. 7/10

Devil Forest is assuredly the most neutral track in the entire contest for me. I can't imagine feeling strongly about it one way or the other. It's plain white bread. Doesn't do a single thing wrong, but makes me feel absolutely nothing at all. It just exists. 5.5/10

Flamerock Refuge is a bit of a cliche but it's pleasant. I would probably enjoy listening to this in the area that it plays in. 6.5/10

Mechonis Field is a track I immediately fell in love with despite not having particularly strong emotional ties to Xenoblade - I did play the game for like 200 hours on the 3DS and still felt a little bit underwhelmed by it but I LOVED exploring this area. Big old school PSO vibes here that immediately put me in a nostalgic mood. I love this post-millennial Japanese retro-future shit, it's great, one of those cliche things that I always like. 9.5/10

Spiral of Erebos is more epic music but at least it's decent enough. I very, very mildly like it and probably would like it more if I played the game, maybe? 6/10

Kitsch is cute. It's got a fun little beat and those ooooooh bah bah's are fun. It's got that one hook that keeps reminding me of the first two seconds of the Mega Man and Bass title theme for some reason and I find that distracting through no fault of its own. Doesn't really stand out enough to be anything more than merely decent. 6.5/10
