I absolutely adore this remix and how it encapsulates the outer wall as an event in the game’s narrative. The Outer Wall is the first time the player will see sky, and the only time they’ll see the moon. It’s a special kind of whiplash that hits us straight in the face. This whiplash is also reflected in Quote the character, who has up till now never seen the sky at all. This remix, like the original, starts off contemplative, almost sorrowful. Makes sense, considering all the shit you’ve been through. And chances are you’ll only hear the first few seconds of it if you choose to escape the island with Kazuma. But if you choose to stay and fight? You’ll be rewarded with the full song. This rendition of Moonsong swells and snowballs in a way I’ve never seen any other remix of it do. Both Quote’s and the player’s quite contemplativeness, concerning both the never before seen sky and the dire circumstances of their quest, grows into this mighty determination to climb the wall and press forward. The dual accompaniment of Guitar and Sax drive home this fact spectacularly. No matter how alone you are, and no matter how dire things are, you have yourself, your will, and all the power that entails. And until you once again find yourself in the presence of Allies, those things will be more than enough.

One of the best mixes of this tune, period. Phenomenal work.
Absolutely blown away when I heard this in the demo. A joy to listen to and that final part (like last 2 mins or so) is especially outstanding!
I literally love the music box, that's amazing
Such a calm and relaxing song 😌
One of my all time favorites. Amazing work.
beautiful
