It's nice once it gets going, but I thought the intro was a bit long; it's more than a quarter of the song.

Holy shit! This is fucking cool!

Asian instrumentation sounds awesome. Flawlessly executed, sounds very authentic. All of it sounds real. I would have loved to hear more development of the asian vibe but what's there is absolutely brilliant.

Aah, yes, and then the guitars, just as well done. Great playing, great choice of tones, awesome arrangement. The wah solo is positively orgasmic.

This will definitely go among my all-time favorites.

I have but one complaint: the ending sucks. Horribly. Sounds like the mixer just lost interest and said "I'm bored, so I'll end it here"

I know it's Final Fantasy and beautifully done, but it reminds me of something I'd hear in the background of Serenity or Firefly x3 That's suppose to be a compliment by the way

Starts out easy and then turns into epic rock. Awesome track, nice work. Tho I agree with Geof that the end is too abrupt.

I read the review and I wanted to say that I think the judges were luke warm to this because in the begining and through the rock sequence the beat seemed to be a little off in areas and nothing really "came together" enough. That is pure speculation of course but thats my take on it. Good effort though.

I first heard this waaaay back on VGMix, and thought I'd lost it when the site went down. I loved it then, and I love it now. Very happy to see this piece finally up on OCR where it (in my opinion, anyway) belongs. Helps, I suppose, that Cyan's theme is one of my favorites, and not one I see mixed very often.

Good job, but as many has mentioned -- sometimes it's not all that tight and the drums get's a little too much 'out'.
Loved the guitarsoloing though.

All I can say is, it's about time this one got here. This is probably one of my favorite tracks from XMark, and it's still awesome after 2 years.

Pretty sweet track. Not my favorite genre, but something I can listen to and enjoy.

Needs more ending, though.
