Like many of Ishimoto's compositions, "Critical Crossroad" was altered between the in-game version and the original soundtrack album. The album version changes the balance of the song, most notably bringing out the main violin and reducing the bass choir. The in-game version does not loop properly; the album mix attempted to remedy this by including the eight-measure introduction in the loop.
