I can't even remember how many times I played that opening segment in Alexandria. The play, the running over rooftops, the Steiner chase... And I also remember fighting that monster in the subway-like system with the Gargant.... Ahh, nostalgia hit's hard here.

I'm one birthday away from 30. Can't call myself old, can't call myself young. But I belong to the times of this music, and not the times we are seeing now. I'm sure many feel the same way.

Great interpretation Sam Griffin. :) Respect and thank for the homage to this great piece where our party has just escaped the Ice Cavern and Garnet has decided she is now Dagger.

This song is my absolute favourite so far so it’s a joy to hear it being played on an instrument :)

Finally! One of my all time favorite FF tracks. This part of FFIX is one of the best. Such a great moment, and this track is so fitting for it. It's like the whole game up until this part has been a mad-dash forward. "Kidnapping" the Princess, crashing your airship, getting through the woods, running across the country side, making your way through the Ice Cavern, and then finally after all of that, you reach Dali. You're first "breather" moment. Or is it?
