Yet, if we but summon the Maker, we will be granted the chance to begin again. All our sins, absolved - and the world, born anew!
Orphan
(Born Anew, 降誕?, lit. Kōtan) is the first part of the final boss theme in Final Fantasy XIII. The song plays as Orphan rises from its slumber, assimilated with Barthandelus to form a sword-like fal'Cie. It is notably a remix of Galenth Dysley's theme.
The most important part of the song is the tenor solo part at the end. I forget what kind of inspiration helped me to make this music, but I remember making this part and thinking, 'I haven't heard anything similar!'
