Hello all, I apologize for not getting to this sooner, life is busy...
We've had a surprising amount of people ask about where the upload for Xenoblade Chronicles 3 is. It seems many recognize the quality we put into our uploads and want to have that for XC3 itself and for playlist consistency with the other uploads on this channel.
Our standard of quality takes a lot of time to prepare the actual audio; this is especially true of Xenoblade 3, which unexpectedly has lots of dynamic music that would need to be manually edited together and trimmed. This is not trivial work, and the numerous errors I've noticed in many other uploads are indicative of this. Jass and I have lots of audio editing experience and could certainly do it correctly, we've just never gotten around to actually doing it.
I've also considered digging through the game data to figure out how loop information is stored, and making a tool to stitch it together automatically using that data, but I've had no motivation to do that either as it would still be rather time consuming and largely uninteresting. I've technically had more than enough free time by now to do it all by now, but when I do get free time, I never feel any real desire to do it. A big factor in this is that I ended up not really enjoying XC3, and that makes it difficult to want to spend what little free time I have on it, but that's besides the point.
All that is to say the upload isn't coming, at least not any time soon. The other uploads out there are good enough for the most part, and there seems to be at least one properly edited version of the OST on a certain non-youtube website, though admittedly I haven't bothered to thoroughly check either of those things.
I think the most likely thing at this point is, if the game ever gets an official CD soundtrack release, we'll upload that if it's not officially available on prominent music streaming platforms.
I apologize for taking so long to address this, and I apologize for any disappointment
