Its hard to play difficult music on the violin while looking like you're having fun. The instrument is HARD to play. I bet he was even sight reading the piece instead of playing by memory, which is also hard. Not to take anything away from the guitarists.

I think 9 cutscenes in total.

[@theravingtimes9582]

Best song in Xenoblade period. This song showcases the sense of desperation and sacrifice Shulk and his companions face during every battle. As the battles rage on, there's a sense of desperation that feels almost impossible to overcome as the battle progresses.

This game has the best cutscene direction in any RPG ive ever played - this song plays perfectly along with the intense moments in every scene it plays through. I literally still get choked up even LISTENING to this song because of how it plays during that first attack by Metal Face.

[@TheSilverazo]

yeah is almost like they made the cutscenes after the music just to make it match xD

[@jimberthimbert7292]

They actually do. In several cutscenes, the song will start in the middle just so that it can get to the climax of the song at the same time as the dramatic moment. Ladies and gentlemen, that is true attention to detail.

[@WednesdayMan]

The cutscenes and the music were so perfectly put together that it makes every time it plays so amazing.

[@moonmedic2862]

This song is one of the most emotional and moving pieces in gaming as a whole. The moments in Xenoblade where this song plays are some of the most emotional and beautiful parts of any game ever. And yet....it's been topped by this remix/remastering. Nintendo you never disappoint me.

[@ciscokidd7164]

You can't really blame them, though. They want to defend their content, and I respect that. Probably the reason why they took down AM2R was because they were already making a Metroid 2 remake.
