- The title should be changed to just "Lloyd" as per multiple soundtrack releases (2003 (https://vgmdb.net/album/35) | 2023 (https://open.spotify.com/album/3Ww0UclZziAyyPLE5SBrcB)). Based off of the notes in the 2003 version, Motoi Sakuraba did the character themes
- m. 15 I opted to just use octaves because I thought it would be a bit awkward to hear the A a bit earlier on beat 4. I feel like the original doesn't translate as well to piano
-m1: I don't think it's impossible to add the C# on beat 1.5, but maybe if you kept out the A instead of the C# it'd be a bit easier to play
-m23: Maybe you could add a note on beat 4.5 (probably the D)? I see you left out the low strings rhythm for the horns here, but it might work as a little transition point back to m1.
I don't really have anything else to mention here, nice job! I changed the title for you too!
Yeah I guess I was being a bit conservative with the exclusion of the C#. It also wasn't very consistent with the last measure, so I just added the C# in measures 1/9 without removing the A. Adding a D on beat 4.5 of the last measure was a good suggestion too, thanks! The files should be updated, and thanks for fixing the name as well :3
Awesome, I'll approve!

Looking good, just a few small things to comment on!
- The high A in the bass on beat 1 of m. 7 and 15 feels a bit out of place. Thoughts about lowering it an octave (and adjusting the offbeat chords accordingly, similar to m. 1)?
- Have you considered writing in the lower layer E (perhaps as an overlapping hollow notehead) in m. 10 beat 3? It's odd to visually see the lower layer drop out here but nowhere else.
- m. 15 last two beats should be flipped downwards since there's nothing under it
- I'm hearing this at the end:

I'm not sure if anything is playing distinctly on beat 2.25 at all, but beat 2 definitely sounds like a C to me.
Also, I actually think it's nicer without the final D in the left hand at the end, but no issues if you'd prefer to keep it.

Thanks for the suggestion! I changed those portions to be just like the first chord group of measure 1

Sure

Good catch, I flipped the upper tie as well

I changed beat 2 to an eighth note C since I don't really hear anything from the flute voice on beat 2.25 anymore. I also put a staccato on the notehead side rather than stem side

I think I'll just leave it in at this point
Thanks for the feedback! Hopefully that's everything
All looks good to me, let's get this replacement in! Thanks for doing it :D
