Unused Music#

"Hope"#

e33.adx This song, which goes by the name "Hope" on the official OST and the Jukebox in Xenoblade Chronicles 3D, is completely unused in the game itself. It has the prefix "e", meaning that it was intended as an event track. It was eventually used in Future Connected for a cutscene.

Unused, but Heard#

The "action" cutscenes in Xenoblade (where the on-screen text can't be advanced manually) have their audio all baked into one file. Voices, sound effects, and music are all in that file. If the song continues into gameplay, the music is separate, however, to maintain the loop.

All of the below songs are in the game's files as streams, with no sound effects or voices attached, making these "pure" song copies unused.

Unused Cutscene Jingle#

The is the sole unused "cinematic/action-y cutscene" audio file. This is stored after the audio for the game's final cutscene, and it uses the same jingle that all of the cutscenes which play upon first reaching a new major location in the game. However, it's not a duplicate audio file of any of the other jingles, and aside from the existence of a cut location in the game, there aren't any clues as to what it could have been meant for.

Unused NPC Dialogue#

To do: Upload all of it.

Every NPC that is not vital to the plot has a third voice clip of them addressing the speaker in a concerned manner. This is never used. Several of these were not redubbed for the international release.

Nopon NPCs#

Unused Enemy Dialogue#

"Hah... All that work for nothing!"

"This... This can't be happening! I DON'T LOSE!!!"

Two pieces of dialogue intended for Mecha-Mumkhar. The first line plays when he's defeated, but the only encounter with him in-game ends after his health is reduced to 20% rendering it impossible to hear during normal gameplay. It can, however, be heard in Definitive Edition, as Mumkhar can be fully defeated in the game's new Time Attack mode.

The first voice clip was re-recorded and used for Metal Face's appearance as a boss character in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U.

Unused Beep#

An unused 10-second-long beeping noise can be found alongside the audio for most of the enemies in the game. Likely used for testing purposes.

Leftover Japanese Audio#

Several lines are left untranslated and unused in the international releases. It is currently unknown if these lines are used in the Japanese version, though several refer to party members providing cover for each other, which isn't really a thing in the final game.
