Music Tournament of DOOM 2017- Buy-in List Part 4
« on: August 13, 2017, 12:11:48 AM »
Our final few slots in the Music Tournament of DOOM will be decided from among the remaining nominations after the majority of the tourney has been filled.  This will be done in the list format: each slot has seven (or six) contenders, simply rank them from best to worst.  They'll be divided up across four topics just for readability, and will be open until they're needed (so, until Topic 16 needs to go up, four and change weeks from now).

Slot 7

Persona 4  Arena- Heartful Cry (Arena Ver)
  Trails of Cold Steel- To Grasp Tomorrow
  Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep- Aqua
  Project Diva Future Tone- Arifureta Sekai Seifuku
Super Mario World 2: Yoshi’s Island- Yoshi’s Island (World 6)
Drakengard 3- The Final Song

Slot 8


Xenogears- Small Two of Pieces
La-Mulana- Interstice of Dimension
  DDR X- Switch
Fire Emblem Awakening- Id (Purpose)
NieR Automata - End of the Unknown
Undertale - Bergentrückung/ASGORE

Slot 8

1. Xenogears- Small Two of Pieces  "squee!"
2. Undertale - Bergentrückung/ASGORE   Something familiar I can't quite place pushes it above a close field.
3. Fire Emblem Awakening- Id (Purpose)  Kneejerk from 3-5, I'm not going to think too hard about these.
4: NieR Automata - End of the Unknown
5. La-Mulana- Interstice of Dimension
6.  DDR X- Switch  OK, just made the weakest impression.

Slot 7

Drakengard 3- The Final Song: Holy shit. One of the better songs in the entire tournament so far, imo.
Trails of Cold Steel- To Grasp Tomorrow: Just sorta nice in general.
Project Diva Future Tone- Arifureta Sekai Seifuku: Better than I was expecting.
Super Mario World 2: Yoshi’s Island- Yoshi’s Island (World 6): Adorable and yet not something I'd actively go out of my way to listen to.
Persona 4  Arena- Heartful Cry (Arena Ver): Not bad, but the instrumentation rubs me the wrong way.
Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep- Aqua: :sleppy:
 

Slot 8

Xenogears- Small Two of Pieces: Genuinely beautiful.
Undertale - Bergentrückung/ASGORE: Was expecting this to win, but it's still definitely good enough to take second. Small Two of Pieces was just really good.
Fire Emblem Awakening- Id (Purpose): Good, but I'm not really a fan of the choir.
La-Mulana- Interstice of Dimension: Solid, but not exceptional.
DDR X- Switch: Definitely not my thing.
NieR Automata - End of the Unknown: Seemed like it was going somewhere interesting, and then let me down a bit. And then it let me down a lot.

Slot 7

1. Drakengard 3- The Final Song - One actually excellent song in a pool full of "hey that's not bad". Also, an 8 minute long song that manages to never overstay its welcome.
2. Trails of Cold Steel- To Grasp Tomorrow
3. Persona 4  Arena- Heartful Cry (Arena Ver)
4. Project Diva Future Tone- Arifureta Sekai Seifuku
5. Super Mario World 2: Yoshi’s Island- Yoshi’s Island (World 6)
6. Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep- Aqua - Easily the weakest song in the pool and it's not even BAD as far as slow songs go. Oddly tight group of song quality here with a single standout.

Slot 8

1. Undertale - Bergentrückung/ASGORE
2. Fire Emblem Awakening- Id (Purpose)
3. Xenogears- Small Two of Pieces
4. NieR Automata - End of the Unknown
5. La-Mulana- Interstice of Dimension
6. DDR X- Switch

Fan of the Trails soundtrack, and the final dungeon themes are as usual awesome.  Who knows why there's a giant pocket dimension filled with monsters and giant turning gears here, let's go beat it up.  Works great in context.
Final Song is weird and strange and ambitious.  Good times.
Heartful Cry is one of the best songs in the P3 soundtrack!  ...but the Arena version is actually kinda a step backward IMO?  Still good of course.
The Yoshi's Island song is pretty catchy, I like it; same with Aqua.  They're both solid but the competition is rough.
Vocaloid culture... well, I like the freaky colored skulls at the start at least.


1. Xenogears- Small Two of Pieces
2. Undertale - Bergentrückung/ASGORE
3. Fire Emblem Awakening- Id (Purpose)
(big gap)
4. DDR X- Switch
5. La-Mulana- Interstice of Dimension
6. NieR Automata - End of the Unknown

Final(ish) battle themes with the feels!  ASGORE & Id (Purpose) both play on earlier musical themes established to do neat epicy stuff.   Shame they go up against a classic in Small Two of Pieces.  Weird pool, the top 3 all might beat out the top 2 above in slot 7, while the bottom 3 all lose to Aqua.
