It’s time to Double Megamerge!

You know I’m always up for showing some underappreciated spinoff love here and there. I’ve done a couple of ZX/ZXA songs in the past (Misty Rain and Trap Phantasm), but those are both pretty old at this point, so I’m bringing us back to the ZX series with this arrangement of Determined Eyes from ZX Advent.

This may just be a cutscene song, but it’s a badass one. I had planned to use a little bit of gameplay footage in case I ran out of cutscene footage (shoutout to SolarZero for getting both), but lucky for us, Aile’s cutscene lasts a whole 2 hours longer than Vent’s 5 second transformation scene.

Only kidding of course. Aile’s cutscene is supposed to pay homage to the ‘magical girl transformation’ style, while Vent’s is Kamen Rider style.

This arrangement is mostly based on the ZXA Tunes arrangement, which adds some new guitar solo work. This version fades during the last new lead guitar bit though, so to make things a bit different, I extended the song beyond that section.
