A note before I give my review. I haven't played Xenogears, or have heard much of the original track. Heh I need to play that one of these days.
This is by far one of my favorites on OC. The intro was a bit random, but it was a nice touch to the overall effect of the piece. Once the piece truely got started it took off, and it didnt stop at all. I get goosebumps when I hear it . I actually like the entire piece, and I don't see many flaws. The ending is great I think. The tempo just instantly drops, and then the music softly plays, which in my opinion is a nice touch .
I give this one a 10 out of 10
