Similar to our Game EXP article for Final Fantasy VII, what the hell do you say about "One Winged Angel" that hasn't been said over the last 27 years? It's a fantastic song. It's an amazing boss song. Having vocals pop up during the boss battle theme for the first time on the entire soundtrack is pretty epic. I was honestly more familiar with the orchestral version from the "Final Fantasy VII: Reunion Tracks" album re-released than the original, which was also used in Dissidia - Final Fantasy, so it took me a little while to get used to the MIDI instrumentation (which I recognize is a bit of an odd statement coming from us).
Well, regardless of what I think of the quality of the music, "One-Winged Angel" is the best possible way to go out on a high note, even if you have to sit through two castings of Super Nova. The fact that it has been performed at every live Final Fantasy concert I have ever been to is a testament to this song's staying power beyond the original MIDI instrumentation.
