Do I get an award for most links that died over the course of the topic?
Predictions for my survivors:
Excalibur should be in the next set for CG7. Shouldn't be that much higher. It's good, but it's not THAT good.
Flame of Life is probably top 15 on Kenri's. The initial estimate was top 10, but everything Kenri's rated has been slightly lower than what I expected, so top 15.
Oh, since you guys might be interested, what my initial estimates were going in blind and my rationale behind my noms:
Flame of Life: Top 10. But in the 60s or 70s for CG7 because my last "obviously exceedingly high quality" song (Legend of Mana Opening) was down there too. I picked this song by going to vndb and looking at what was the highest rated VN and picking a song from that.
Excalibur: 20-40. The other strong representative. It's a solid song, with a lot of variety, good transitions. It's hard to say a lot bad about the piece. Picked this by going to VNDB and picking the most popular VN (FSN), picking a song (Sword of Promised Victory), then picking a better arrange of it <_<. Other possibility was Mighty Wind, but I feel it's a lot weaker than this arrange of Sword of Promised Victory. I actually prefer the anime and the Return to Zero versions, but I can't use those for obvious reasons.
The Bravery: 40-60. The middle of the line representative. Not good, not bad and short. Functional, but not an exceptional stand alone piece. It's the battle theme, by the way -- no, it doesn't get old, you're hitting the accelerate gameplay button throughout battles because calling ALL your attacks makes for really long battles. Picked this because I needed a gameplay song.
Parity: Either 30-40 or 60-80. The controversial pick. Depends on whether or not you like pieces that do the unexpected (I do!). Otherwise Parity has little remarkable features to mention. Picked this because I've been prodding a lot of people to play KS.
Sokyuu no Hikari: Bottom 25. Hopefully bottom 10. The bad pick. It's just bad. Pretty much universally considered so. (as I mentioned before, the live version spawned a meme based around how bad it was) Picked this because I noted in CG7's last topic if I wanted to pick an opening completely devoid of value, I'd pick this.
