More Wild Arms, yay! This one is the opening theme from Wild Arms 2.

The arrangement, I think, is fine apart from being a bit complex, in terms of the note in the beginning, and also some difficult candenzas (small notes) and the rhythm of the guitar transcribed to the piano sheet.

-But there's one big issue! I arranged the American opening theme (on the NTSC version of the game), which differs a bit from the Japanese (NTSC-J). The biggest difference is that the melody is sung in the Japanese version, and in the American version, it is played by a trumpet (in the choruses) and by a guitar (in the verse). And there are other differences as well, but smaller ones, in the accompaniment. And technically, I guess the Japanese is more the "standard version" or whatever to call it as it appears on the CD, but I don't think the American does (haven't listened to all the tracks, but there isn't a title which I could guess should be that song). But I obviously don't feel like rearranging the song or changing it drastically in order for it to sound like the Japanese version. And I also think the American is better, which is why I arranged it and not the Japanese one. So maybe change the title like "You'll Never... Where You Go (NTSC)" or "(Instrumental)" or "(US Version)". Some alternatives.

Beats 3-4 in measure 2-3 (RH) sound like quarter triplets, as does the melody in 6-7.

Changed the rhythm a bit, as you suggested. I think it's more accurate now.
