for context on this song... SPOILER WARNING (if you plan on playing FFXIII-2) Noel is your partner for most of the game and he comes from the future, but he comes from literally the end of time. The world is a wasteland and everyone he ever knew is gone and pretty much nothing exists. The level where this song plays is barren, very small, and is littered with abandoned villages along with enemies called c'eith (I think I spelled that right) that used to be people, but couldn't complete a task they were given called a focus, so they were turned into monsters. This game is pretty much Chrono Trigger, but it enjoys punching you in the gut and making you sad, among other things
