Xenoblade Chronicles is a Japanese science fiction role playing game developed by Monolithsoft (the makers of Xenogears and the Xenoblade series) for the Nintendo Wii.
The game was originally released in Japan in 2010 and then was later released in Europe in 2011 with no plans to bring it to North America. Because of massive pressure from fans in an event called Operation Rainfall Xenoblade Chronicles along with 2 other Wii RPGs was brought to North America in 2012. Xenoblade Chronicles was later released world wide for the Nintendo 3DS.
The world in Xenoblade is built on the bodies of two ancient warring gods who are frozen in place. The humans who live on the Bionis god are at war with the robots who live on the Mechonis god. The main character Shulk receives a sword that lets him see the future and sets out on an epic adventure.
The soundtrack for Xenoblade Chronicles involved 6 people: Manami Kiyot, ACE+ (Tomori Kudo, Hiroyo ?CHiCO? Yamanaka and Kenji Hiramatsu), Yasunori Mitsuda and the team was led by Yoko Shimomura. The games main theme was sung by a Japanese artist named Sarah ?lainn or Sarah Lin. The official soundtrack was released on June 23, 2010 and received a huge amount of praise from critics.
