**Unlike ''Fire Emblem'' and similarly to ''Final Fantasy'', the 3 songs from ''Xenoblade Chronicles 2'' included in the base game are not listed before all of the DLC songs; rather, they were repositioned in the relative order that the songs would be heard in said game.
*For unknown reasons, all ''Xenoblade Chronicles 2'' soundtracks available before DLC play at a lower volume than all other tracks.
