Album notes[edit]

Album notes written by Yasunori Mitsuda. No official translation exists.

ゲーム中で最も耳にしている楽曲だと思いますし、印象にも 残っている楽曲だと思いますので原曲重視でアレンジしても らいました。 オーケストラで演奏するには非常に難しい楽曲 ですし、 変拍子も出てくるので録音自体はかなり時間が掛 かりましたが、疾走感とパワフルさが十二分に表現された楽 曲になったのではないかと思います。 また、 1曲の中に闘い の優勢と劣勢が表現されていますので、 意識しつつ聞いて みてください。
