A life sent on is quite literally the essence of xenoblade 3. Flutes made specifically for recording music in the game, used by the characters in the game.

The closest we had so far was Symphonic Game Music concert feat. Kenji Hiramatsu about a week ago in Osaka. It was officially approved by monolith and nintendo too. Sadly I only learned about it after they already performed it, judging by the twitter it was really good. The xenoblade track list from that concert is as follows: XC1: Mechanical Rhythm XC3: Words That Never Reached You XC3: Chain attack XC2: Counterattack XC2: Kingdom of Uraya XC3: Still, Move Forward! XC1: Mechonis field XC2: Mor Ardain - Roaming the Wastes - XC 1/2/3: You Will Know Our Names, You Will Recall Our Names, You Will Know Our Names ~ Finale

A Life Sent On is the core of Xenoblade 3. No other piece of music is as important to the game than that one short piece. It's also an example of Diegetic music whenever that song plays, its being played by one of the characters. I'm sure people have told you, but the flutes used to record these songs were handcrafted replicas the flutes used by the characters in game, making the sound wholely unique to this game.

Another interesting thing also to mention is if you look at the characters playing the flutes in the cutscenes they match how you play the notes of the song. They went so much effort into the flutes that they made two exact replicas of the flutes in game but also make them play the flutes exactly the same in game as you would in real life

This isn't story related, but the composers actually got the flutes from 3 made in real life. I think it was for the purpose of having the soundtrack "sound more authentic" by having the in game flutes match the real ones for the recording or something, but I think most fans and merch collectors just went "Where buy?" or "Gimme" when they first saw them.

The recorded performance to celebrate XB1 on the 3DS is the closest we’ve gotten to a concert sadly, but never say never as a lot of Nintendo IP’s have had their own live concerts. I had pretty much the same experience as Jesse when I first heard New Battle, it definitely gave me the same feeling as when I first played Torna and experienced its amazing battle theme. Kenji Hiramatsu is a master when it comes to composing these fun Jazz fusion-esque battle themes. What’s really cool about it, is that according to the OST, it incorporates elements of Mechanical Rhythm and Still Move Forward (Mechanical Rhythm being very clear in the guitar riffs and solos).

Yeah "New Battle!!!" Is from the futures connected DLC for 3. The way we got the full track was hilarious. When the dlc was being slowly revealed the website had a "taste" of the battle theme with a small snippet of the track. Except monolith uploaded the full thing to the site so it was just digged up from the data lol. Honestly one of my favorite battle tracks 8n the franchise for just how bubbly and fun it feels...which is funny when you consider the dlc story.

A Life Sent On is the leitmotif of the main characters. It's so much the case that Monolith made the protagonists carry a couple shinobues (Japanese flutes), and then they commisioned an artisan to make them real and functional, and used them on the OST. And, if you purchased the Xenoblade Chronicles 3 OST Limited Edition, the package carries the two flutes at 1:3 scale (obviously, at such a small size, they are not functional).

A life sent on is the most important song in 3, it later goes on to become used in leitmotifs of other songs. The way it’s used makes you feel many emotions but in game it’s mostly used for a sad song the characters play with their flute to send off the dead. Every time it plays it’s an emotional moment

New Battle!!! Might seriously be my favourite track from Xeno as a whole, or maybe a tie with 96-:rip. hands clapping is just cheating. Also, a bit of trivia about the song's name: Xenoblade 1's main wbattle them had 1 exclamation mark, Xenoblade 2's had 2 (only in the JP version), and 3's... didn't. but hey, its DLC fixed that, with an absolute banger as a bonus, so that's cool! Also, yes: Some people DO watch every bit of your Xenoblade 1 playthrough 😊

Life Sent On is the best track in XB3 for me. For lots of people it's The Weight of Life, but I think that one is only as good as it is because it uses the motif from Life Sent On. Also when this track plays in full, it's at some of the most touching moments. It's a very important track, and the most memorable from my play through.

There are no Xenoblade concert. the closest we got was a youtube video of an orchestral Xenoblade 1 set of tracks for the release of the 3DS port in 2015 (iirc that's when). HOWEVER there will be a XenoSAGA concert in France. Yes. XenoSaga, which didn't receive any game since 2006. And it'll even be a piano arrangement concert on Xenosaga Episode I in particular. The reason is that Wayô Records, a French Company that produces officially licenced piano arrangement albums of video game music started a kickstarter in march, and they reached the last stretch goal, where they would, among other things, do a concert (probably first half of 2025)

it might be an idea for you NOT to listen to any more tracks from Future Redeemed. Its OST has VERY explicit connections to the first two games (in track names and immediately upon pressing play) and with where you are in XC1 it would completely spoil some amazing reveals should you ever play it.

A life sent on is typically a song meant to be discovered in context, I guess. It's very beautiful on its own ofc, but as it's a semi diegetic song, it's surrounded by everything that is happening and happenned some minutes before. It's the moment when you realize what kind of game you are playing. Then when you hear it, you are overtaken not only by the song itself, but also by all the emotions you felt during the whole game. A lot of VG songs are like that, but this one particullarly
