This might also have to do with the orchestral direction in the rearranged soundtrack, too.

Not that I really hated it, I just prefer the original. Maybe if I had a nice pair of headphones it would sound better.

Now, Noah's Lute, on the other hand. It doesn't even sound haunting or mystic any more. It just sounds like the beat to an Irish folk song. I guess if that's really how they wanted it to sound, but I don't really like it whatsoever.
Well, overall everybody agrees that with headphones music sounds better. Headphones + Final battle + VERY LOUD = Well, pretty good, it does, at least for me, indeed sound like that 'OMG FINAL BATTLE!'. What really didn't make me feel 'OMG FINAL BATTLE!' was the victory fanfare and the normal death of the boss.

*Listens to original Lute of noah and DS one*
You know, you're right. The original sounds more mysterious. The DS sounds just... normal?

Anyway, thanks for clearing this up.
