Lufia 2: Rise of the Sinistrals Symphonic Rock Remix: "The Very End"

Out of everything I've done so far, this would have to earn the top spot for me. It's not balls out metal like all of my previous remixes; this is a much more mellow interpretation of various themes from Lufia & The Fortress of Doom as well as Lufia 2: Rise of the Sinistrals.

I originally planned to have lyrics in this piece (as performed by my good friend starla (known as injury on OverClocked Remix)), and one day I may move forward with this when I can write some that don't sound absurdly cheesy. There is one line of spoken dialogue near the end, from a pal of mine named DrumUltima (who also happens to be doing vocals on my upcoming solo album. Oops, I wasn't supposed to mention that).

The purpose of the piece is to evoke a melancholy and remorseful feeling as it visits the various themes throughout; the first being the theme of the floating island as Maxim, Selan, Guy, and Artea fight their way through the Sinistral's hordes.

Following that is a take on Iris' theme, as her true identity is revealed and her course in the story finally explained.

After that, a very few brief pieces of battle music, until the line of dialogue is spoken.

"Just rest; I'll hold you until the very end. I promise." While not taken directly from the game, I imagined it to be something Maxim would say to a dying Selan, their fates both firmly sealed as the floating island came crashing down to the earth below.

For those following my stuff, thanks for the support and the comments, I'm going to be posting more stuff in the near future!

brings tears to my eyes, I keep playing the events of lufia II over and over in my head It truely is a sad tale about those who sacrifice their lives to save those that they hold dear to them, a much more powerful tale then most rpgs out there.

I'm just throwing this out there, but Lufia: Curse of the Sinistrals is an absolutely amazing game. I've played the shit out of Lufia 2 and know absolutely every plot twist and story point, and the DS game follows it pretty well. Being an action RPG the story goes by a little faster as well. It even threw in a few twists of it's own that threw me off a little, like how they got Tia to stick around.

Just... check it out before you dismiss, like I did. You won't regret it.

Love this-the guitar has meaning here, not just drowned out over-distorted metal. 1:28 was great as the lead stops yet the other still plays. What a powerful ending this game had, & you ended this just as well. That is a moving part, at 2:20, w/ the xylophone sound; reminds me of Selan & Maxim, that they will both die, yet their child is safe. You can feel the struggle @ 3:55, really is great how it all ends @ 4:30. It's not repetitive,but reminiscent&poignant, knowing what happens to them both.
