Further details regarding the booklet are that it contains lyrics, liner notes, interviews with the main composers, Yasunori Mitsuda, ACE (TOMOri Kudo, CHiCO), Kenji Hiramatsu, and Manami Kiyota, as well as a message from the game’s executive director Tetsuya Takahashi.
And if that weren’t enough, comments from those with a close connection with the composers are shared, and a discussion is featured between “Yasunori Mitsuda and the shinobue artisan, Hidekatsu, about the creation of “Seishin no Fue” (Noah’s flute) and “Kishin no Fue” (Mio’s flute).”
Lastly, it’s worth emphasizing that the included songs are the same across the standard and limited editions, comprising nine CDs of over 140 tracks collectively lasting around nine hours. Moreover, music from the added story scenario in the fourth volume of the Expansion Pass DLC is included.

Xenoblade Chronicles 3 is now available for Nintendo Switch.
Xenoblade Chronicles 3 tells the story of protagonists Noah and Mio contending with a conflict between the nations of Keves and Agnus. 6 characters will be the crux of the experience, and the broad concept of “life” will be the title’s central theme.
The narrative ties in elements and plotlines from the future of the prior two mainline games, Xenoblade Chronicles and Xenoblade Chronicles 2. Flutes seem to play an integral role in this title’s premise.
The summoning of this powerful new form depends on a new Interlink system. If specific conditions are met, duos of characters can combine into a mech, and choosing when to transform is key to the more difficult battles. Another system is a class change option, allowing players to customize their parties’ builds further than in previous games.
