As a kid playing this game, I did not appreciate just how epic this theme was. It was not until many years later when I heard Daniel Tidwell's cover, specifically at the 0:53 mark of the following video: The way the notes ascended blew my mind. The sense of urgency and desperation made me instantly fall in love with the composition. Nobuo Uematsu is a genius.
If this does not make you feel like you're in a life or death situation with the only way out being literally fighting for your life, I don't know what will. That is the feeling I aimed to recreate with my tribute here. You have been warned.

I do not own the music, I just own my parody of a cover of it.
