Wild Arms 5 - Persephone IPCC_3927 (: Battle) v Romancing SaGa: Decisive Battle! -Final Battle with Saruin-
Romancing SaGa: Calling an Awakening Memory -The Battle with Schirach- v Digital Devil Saga 2 - Epic Battle
How odd, I still don't like Epic Battle
Guilty Gear XX: The Midnight Carnival v Persona 2: Eternal Punishment - Aoba Park
It's close, but even run of the mill GG is good stuff.
Mana Khemia - STIGMATA v Tales of the Abyss: Karma
Stigmata feels a bit overwrought, just a bit too over produced, whereas Karma is just a fun bouncy tune with some great sections in it.
Persona 3 - Battle for Everyone's Souls v Wild ARMs 3 - Black as Sin, Red as Blood
I knew there was a reason I voted for neither of there. Well, since I have to vote for one, I'll vote for the one that has a section that isn't grating to listen to.
Phantom Brave - Strange Wind v Star Ocean 3 - Influence of Truth's Appearance
The fact that I keep on thinking this is Midboss' music when I'm not looking is enough for the pass.
Atelier Iris 2 - Red Lucifer Rising v Chrono Cross - Chrono Cross ~Time's Scar~
Eh, general support for a good CC piece.
Final Fantasy VII: Main Theme of Final Fantasy VII v Wild Arms 3: Losing the Inescapable Nightmare, an Unending Reality
WA3 brings a good piece, but the overworld theme of FFVII is everything an overworld theme should be and best of its kind.
