Any way you could get those last three measures that are all by themselves off of the last page?

Actual OST link, i think?

As opposed to an orchestral reduction, you have close to no liberty when it comes to a transcription of a solo piano piece, at least in regards to the notes themselves. This is precisely the place where pitch-perfect notation is requisite, which, for all my talk on other subs about NOT doing this, is quite ironic, haha! Even so, one can still make beautiful engravings, even within this paradigm.

M. 1, beat 1 -- No D in R.H.
M. 2, beat 1 -- No G, B, or D in R.H; harmony is A.
M. 2, beats 1-4 -- Bb is actually A in L.H.
M. 3, beat 1 -- No F or C in R.H.
M. 4, beat 1 -- No C or Ab in R.H.
M. 4, beat 3 -- Missing harmony in R.H; B natural
M. 4, beat 4 -- No G in L.H.
M. 6, beats 1-4 -- Spurious harmonies; should be octaves only.
M. 7, beat 2.75 -- No Ab in L.H.
M. 7, beat 3 -- No Ab in R.H.
M. 7, beat 3 -- Missing harmony in L.H.; Ab as root
M. 7, beat 4 -- No upper C in L.H.
M. 8, beat 3 -- No upper F in L.H.

Disclaimer: I'm still not really sure about what the actual true source is, so if I'm mistaken, disregard the above where applicable. The BELOW, however, still applies as it demonstrates good notation practices.

Yes, this is the Piano version that Ben provided.
I distinctly remember typing up and posting something with the link, but Idk what happened to it.
@Dudeman:
I can't, in a good conscience, squish it any further.

@Bespinben
All notes fixed except for the following:
#4: While the F does not exist, the Ab does, although it's faint and may require close listening
#5: Ab still distinctly heard.
#6: There are definitely RH harmonies in m6. I just double checked.
#7: It is undoubtedly there
#8: That's the Ab from beat 2.75

All following instances fixed.

-About that suggestion:
I actually considered that early on, but  I like this way better. You may not like my reasons, but it makes more sense to keep it in that hand. It will probably sound a little smoother that way, and just makes sense. I get that the other hand can play it, but I like it this way better.

Files updated.

I'm still not convinced we're listening to the same thing. You say there are definitely RH harmonies in m. 6, and I say there are definitely none. Download the mp3 I linked and cross-check it against the version you arranged with. It's just a feeling, but I really do think there's some discrepancy here. Are there multiple versions of this game? Did I accidentally critique based on a sequel's OST, or perhaps a re-mastered album?

[Maelstrom]

Yep.
Listened closely and this is different.
