Wild Arms 5 - Persephone IPCC_3927 (: Battle) v Digital Devil Saga 2 - Hunting - Betrayal
Persephone is a fun bouncy little tune, while Hunting feels too much like it's trying to be grungy, with most of it being pretty blah, and the one bit where it has flow not being good enough to compete with Persephone's high points.
Romancing SaGa: Decisive Battle! -Final Battle with Saruin- v Grandia II- Fight!! Ver 4 (Last Battle)
They're both good, and this is a close match. But, Saruin just has a more nuanced tune which means that I'm getting more out of each relisten, whereas Fight.v4 is fairly skin deep.
Romancing SaGa: Calling an Awakening Memory -The Battle with Schirach- v Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne - Battle
When I can have a song play in the background, and it then distracts me from what I'm doing, it's deserving of its vote.
Valkyrie Profile - Fighting the Shadowy Gods v Digital Devil Saga 2 - Epic Battle
No real commentary, just don't like Epic Battle much.
Megaman X Command Mission - Standby, Zero v Guilty Gear XX: The Midnight Carnival
It's not an RPG, but it does bring the rock.
Persona 2: Eternal Punishment - Aoba Park v Breath of Fire 4 - Men at War
The style of music in BoF4 is good for its light breezy stuff, but doesn't work at all for drama.
Wild Arms 4 - Nightless City Guara Bobelo v Mana Khemia - STIGMATA
Not feeling the love for Stigmata today, and Nightless City does have that jazzy beat.
Tales of the Abyss: Karma v Final Fantasy IX - Song of Memory
A fun bouncy guitar tune vs. a weaker version of the main FF IX theme? Easy pick.
