Zeila gave me some tips, and I made some changes. Hopefully it's still playable. :)
I think you updated it with the wrong files.

Oops, let me fix that...
Ok, there we go.
Yikes, those chords from 17-23 (exclud. 20) look nasty to play. You should raise the lower notes an octave (it should make thirds, which still sound good).

There, that's much better. Doesn't sound the same, but is playable.

(I'm hoping to get everything back on track here)
I can't see anything else that needs sorting out. Seems ready to go for me :)

Thanks, Andy! :D
Bump, bumpity-boop.
You really... don't need to bump every few days. As I said last time, we see the submission is here and we will get to it when we get to it.
Why are all the notes so high.
All the pitches are correct, good job. Some feedback about the sheet:
- Use a dotted quarter in m. 10 for consistency (like m. 2).
- Instead of having 8va then 15ma, how about just making the whole thing (up to m. 16) 15ma? (And, if so, 24 as well for continuity's sake.)
- In m. 20, I don't actually hear the lower voice playing that F half note. I'd just make it a half rest.
- For the measure layout, I'd suggest (as measures per system): 2-3-3-3-3-3-3-4. The first system needs extra space more than the last.
Nice work.

Not sure if this a serious question because the serious answer is whoever composed for this game did a god-awful job and ended up destroying everyone's ears. Do not look up the boss battle theme; you will regret it.
That was a probably more than half-serious question lol. Okay, good to know Mael's not the only one with broken ears as he dumped this one on me suggested I review this one...
In all honesty, if I was arranging anything from this game, I would actually drop everything down an octave for the sake of the audience, if not the performer. It is a little obnoxious that every track in this game is an octave (or two) too high.
Yeah, I'd second that, Levi.
I hope you liked the expression I had written in.
By the way, I found a remix that agrees with my m20 half note F decision; that is, unless you want it changed for playability.
Of course, these remixes aren't official.
Oh, and I'd like to share this with Dudeman. The boss theme is MUCH improved.

Remixes should be used for inspiration, not evidence. That being said, I agree with the layer 2 F being a half note upon personal inspection.

Don't worry, though; I won't rely on them.
Interesting thing to note about the MM7 arrange you posted: Judging by a few descriptions here and there, the arranger doesn't actually transcribe the music themselves. They find midis from other places. They're just able to put them into the MM7 soundfont really well.
Also there's most certainly an F half note in M.20.
Hm, I hear it now I guess...
Okay, good to go.
Why does the original hurt my ears so much.
Not the sheet, however. Good job.
