This track that plays in the game is so emotionally beautiful. There's this sort of somber introspection that I find so heartbreaking 💔. I find the mixture between the strings and piano so well-written. It feels as if it's a combination of Noah and Mio's themes, kind of like their fates are being intertwined. I also really love the nod to XC2 at the end of the piece. I have such an emotional attachment to XC2 that I couldn't help but get chills. When I first listened to this track in the game I thought it was unbelievably beautiful. However, the more I listened to it while progressing the story, the more I started to appreciate it more. And now that it's been a little while since I beat the base game and Future Redeemed, I appreciate it EVEN more now.

Oooh this is my first Xenoblade 3 cover. XC3 had a lot to live up to for me. Although I've never played X, all the past XC games have affected me in so many ways. I got such a special experience from it. I really loved this idea of learning what it truly means to live and the idea of connecting with others. Although I wouldn't personally rank it higher than XC1 or 2, I think that it truly was a phenomenal experience.

Today is the 1st anniversary of when I started uploading to my channel again! I feel like I celebrate way too many anniversaries on this channel and I like to get really sappy/overly sentimental pretty often. I mean it's not like that cover was the first video I ever uploaded, but I still wanted to upload something today haha. When I started uploading, I really didn't know anyone. However, I am super grateful to say that I met so many wonderful and supportive people here! Including ​⁠​⁠​⁠@kmadsmusic, who is playing piano on this cover!!! Here is her recording which you all should totally check out! https://youtu.be/0p5KgDDrXMg?si=Ic9oCBwLyoxAKuBC

Thanks again for letting me use your recording to play along with! And thanks for sending me those pictures of the moon to use during your piano solo in the beginning. I wasn’t sure for the longest time what to do for the video there, but this is what I ended up deciding! I included one of my favorite quotes from Noah in that section too haha.

I experimented a lot more with the video editing in this one, and it was really fun to do!!! And I still don’t really know how to use this ring light that I got for Christmas but I tried to use it in this video xD.

I was originally going to do a community post talking about my time at MAGFest, but I think it may be a little too late for that? I wanted to write something immediately after but I had my first day of school the next day. It was so much fun! I got to meet people that I've been big fans of!! Some of them I've been following for quite a while haha. That was pretty surreal! I also chickened out and didn't say hi to a lot of people I've been a fan of. But there's always next time! Really happy I got to make some new friends and hang out with some old ones :) I was so exhausted after commuting every day. Next time I go I will definitely consider getting a room!

I've been avoiding many of my responsibilities and part of me doesn't even want to audition anymore, but it is what it is. I'm going to put my best foot forward and we shall see if I get in anywhere :) And if I end up not getting in anywhere, although that's sad, it's fine too. What matters is I'm going to be trying my very best! I don't want to have any regrets in that regard for my auditions.

Thanks for watching! This is Will signing off :)

Love,
Will
