Piano arrangement of "Primordia" (N周L辺A), the theme for the continent of the same name in Xenoblade Chronicles X on the Wii U (and soon the Definitive Edition on Nintendo Switch!). This arrangement is specifically the day version of the theme. Original theme by Hiroyuki Sawano. Piano arrangement and performance by KMADS Music.

Primordia is one of the continents of Mira, and it is the first continent players are introduced to since it's right outside the starting and hub area of New Los Angeles (NLA). It consists of grassy plains, lakes, and tons of huge rock structures. It's pretty reminiscent of Gaur Plain from the first game. This area is full of really awesome prehistoric looking monsters like the millesaurs (the brontosaurus-like creatures featured in this video). The Japanese name of this continent is "原初の荒野" (Gensho no Kōya, literally "Primordial Wilderness").

The actual track title is “N周L辺A“, and I read that the kanji can translate to "periphery" or "outskirts", making the title mean something like "the area surrounding NLA". I also read that in a North American special edition, this was titled “aNrLeAa”. Some sources also call this "Mira Field". Whew, Sawano's titling habits always cause some interesting interpretations.

This is one of the most rhythmically fun pieces I've ever played. I love how much is going on throughout the piece, especially as it builds up in intensity. This piece has a classic Sawano beat drop that I am obsessed with. I've been in love with the section from 1:34 - 2:09 since I first heard it. The harmonic minor is so good.
