Ar tonelico Qoga: Knell of Ar Ciel- EXEC_METEMPSYCHOSIS/. vs Drakengard 3- This Silence is Mine Ended up reading comments sections to get some context, that decided things for me. Fictional language > Asain languages when it come to vocals for me.
Super Metroid- Theme of Samus Aran, Galactic Warrior vs
Dissidia 012 Final Fantasy- God In Fire Kind of eh on both but for very different reasons. Samus' theme I feel really needs context to pop. It does work really well with that context; eat Hyper beam brain. Otherwise, it doesn't seem all that impressive on its own. Don't know what to make of God in Fire. The vocals don't irritate me so there's that. I have no context for this, maybe it would sway my choice if I did. Feel this is the stronger standalone one but could theoretically be swayed.
Kirby’s Dream Land- Bubbly Clouds vs
Hellcore 2.0 (Custom Doom 2 WAD)- Industry Gameboy synth vs essentially a MIDI file: Flashback to the 90s. Both work well within their limitations. Going with the one I have past familiarity with (even first heard it in Hellcore 2.0).
No More Heroes 2- Shoegazer Watched the Stars vs
Wild ARMs 5- At the Frozen Depths of the Heart First sounds like some kind of dissonance that would be right at home in a rave. Felt I'd get a headache if I kept listening to it, maybe I need to be in a drugged state to like it. Frozen Depths has this chill feel that I like and the transition into a different style is OK too.
Bloodborne- Lady Maria of the Astral Clocktower vs
Soushu Senshinkan Gakuen Hachimyoujin- YEHOSHUA Epic chanting turned me off this time. Both have it, went with the one that's over faster.
Final Fantasy VI- What? vs
Xenoblade Chronicles- Snowy Valak Mountain Richer composition Other track had me going "what?"(ever)
Dark Souls- Ornstein and Smough vs Super Mario RPG- The Road is Full of Dangers Both feel rather generic in their own way. Could have coinflipped but didn't.
Final Fantasy VII- Don of the Slums vs
Star Control 2: Yehat Theme Don of the Slums really fits where it's used but I have a "don't care" feeling without context. Other is one of the tracks I liked better from Star Control 2's soundtrack so easy choice.
Favorite "new" piece: Snowy Valak Mountain
