I like the ending song better.
There's something about a piano, and the background sounds make it feel surreal, almost like Metroid Prime's soundtrack.

Isn't that like half the games? XD
(I highly doubt that it's half the games. You showed me that there's like 20 of them.:p)
Anyways, I also like how the song is relaxing. I never played the game, but I can imagine that it gives that "winding down" feeling once you beat the game, that feeling of relief and triumph.

Yea it kind of does. In the good ending or so Zero is truly dead, but X continues to fight on and he never forgets his dear friend Zero. X was also given Zero's Z-Saber or he found it in the area after the final battle. Also everyone began to go back into repairing all the damage done from the Eurasia Colony crashing into the Earth (well in the good ending it's blown up, but the debris from the colony still causes massive global damage causing humans and Reploids to seek shelter underground.)
X5 WAS supposed to be the last game in the entire X series, but due to it's positive feedback CAPCOM made another game in the X series. As a result X6 came around and takes place within mere weeks after the events of X5 or so. After X5 the games started to go downhill (even though I still enjoy X6, and X8.)
X5 had that finality to it that the other games didn't. Yes X8 also had a strong sense of finality after it, but I believe X5 did a slightly better job and could have been a good ending point of the series allowing the Zero series to begin. In X5 there were so many callbacks to previous games in both the classic and X series. In the intro animation it shows small pictures of past battles X and Zero had gone through, while the opening theme is a remix of Mega Man 3's weapon get theme. In some of the final stages of the game you see Wily's symbol in the background, and in the boss fight against Zero (if you are playing as X), or X (if Zero didn't go into his Awakened State you can keep him through the rest of the game) Wily's symbol can be seen in the background. One of the bosses in the game Squid Adler was a good friend of the boss Launch Octopus from X1. Squid Adler also wasn't going to fight X or Zero in fact he was kind of willing to help them, but if you read the dialogue before the battle begins Squid Adler goes Maverick RIGHT before the battle and attacks X or Zero. Sigma's final form is claimed to be designed by " an old man who knows a lot about you...He told me an interesting story. He told me that you are something far greater than what you appear to be... " hinting that the person who made Sigma's body in X5 was Wily. In fact Sigma's final form is occasionally called Gamma Sigma due to the resemblance to the fight against Gamma in Mega Man 3.
Due to Mega Man X6 coming out without Inafune's approval Inafune had to rewrite a lot of his plans for the Zero series.

So somebody had to go and screw up the continuity for Inafune.:p
I have a question. Are all the games tied into one giant story, or do certain parts belong in their own storyline?

Mind you X8 is still a very fun game, and is one of my favorite games in the X series.
Well the timeline of the games go as this in terms of series...
The Classic Series -> X series -> Zero series -> ZX series -> The Legends Series
Almost all the games in each of those series do take part in the main storyline. Except for a few of course. Though I won't be able to name them.
By the time of Zero 4 all connections to the Classic Series is cut off. Zero is finally dead for real, X died in Zero 3 meaning the connection to Dr. Light and Dr. Wily is cut off. The ZX series has no reference to the Classic and X series due to it taking place far into the future while the Legends series is not connected directly into the previous series as it takes place incredibly far into the future where most of the world is flooded save for islands and ancient ruins from the past.
The only game I can really think of that has it's own separate storyline is Mega Man X: Command Mission a turn based RPG that is really fun, and has a unique plot for the Mega Man series. However it is still connected into the main games as such it does not have it's own separate storyline. Though it is described as a a side story set outside of the main storyline which takes place after X7 or so.
Then in a separate universe:
The Battle Network series -> Starforce series.
Though people do try and connect the Battle Network Series and Starforce series
There are a LOT of games in the entire Mega Man franchise. The main games it's really hard to explain the timelines and storylines of each game without looking up info.
