For over twenty years now I've been confused by the final chord in one of the most famous video-game openings of all time.
For a piece that bounces around between A and D with a bit of E♭ and D♭ thrown in, the piece suddenly ends on an unexpected Fsus4 chord.
How does this Fsus4 relate to the rest of the piece? I'm sure part of it is to end ambiguously as a dramatic transition into the game proper, but I somehow sense something deeper.
I would especially love to hear analyses from those that have never heard the piece before. When I first heard it in the 90s, the chord was unexpected; now, having heard it hundreds of times, I can't even remember what chord I originally wanted to hear.
Here is a recording timed to begin on the final two pages of the score, shown below. The full arrangement is available here.
