Final Fantasy XIV: Heavensward- Locus vs
Street Fighter II- Guile’s Theme - Locus seems... I dunno, droning to me? Guile's them of course is a legend etc etc etc.
Undertale- Hopes and Dreams vs Final Fantasy XIV- Brute Justice’s Theme - Now Brute Justice is much better. The electric vocals are kinda a miss for me, but fuck if I don't appreciate going full Mazinger cheese. Hopes and Dreams still has a slight edge I think (mostly Brute Justice doesn't use it's loop quite right is the best way I can do it) but certainly worthy.
Deemo- Parallel Universe vs Suikoden III- Mysterious People - Ohh, the Alma Kinan theme. Probably not my favorite town theme in Suikoden III, although it's a shockingly decent competition. Parallel Universe is somewhat unnervingly perky, like... I dunno, like they took a moody unsettling piece then shifted it into major keys or something. I do think the sound set Suikoden III uses hinders the track a bit, which is enough for the edge I think.
The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask- Song of Healing vs
Wild ARMs: Alter Code F- Murdering Princess - I've always found the way I remember Murdering Princess is a bit better than it really is. But that's because I remember it being like the best song in ACF and it's merely pretty good, although loops too quick. Song of Healing (much like MM in general) never tickled me like the big OoT songs. now if it were Oath to Order...
Rhythm Heaven Megamix- Flock Step vs
Atelier Shallie: Alchemists of the Dusk Seas- Flying Clouds, Drifting Haze - *shrug* I got nothin'.
Castlevania: Curse of Darkness- Toccata into Blood Soaked Darkness vs Final Fantasy XIV- Steel Reason - Steel Reason reminds me a bit of Judgement Day from FFVII, except with guitar. Nothin' wrong with that. Toccata into Blood-Soaked Darkness, as implied by the name, is the mosts Castlevania of Castlevania themes. Well, except maybe
this but that's unfair, it's a fan cover. I think Steel Reason just takes a bit too long to really get going by comparison.
Little Inferno- Reporting From the Weather Balloon vs NieR Automata- Wretched Weaponry - I think Reporting from the Weather Balloon is like the best inspirational commercial song ever? I do not know why my brain immediately goes there but it does. Wretched Weaponry does not entirely live up to the standard of its namesake, lacks a real hook.
NieR- Kainé/Salvation vs Warriors Orochi 3 Ultimate- Noble Monster - I'm finding NOble Monster hard to remember. Kainé (Salvation) sounds like tears.
