317.Gerudo Valley (Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time)
Appeared in: VGMC1, 3, ToC(Lost To Zanarkand)
Quite a fan favorite, and one I’ve always liked but never loved.
I think the percussion really makes the song though the catchy melody is cool as well.
316.Mechanical Maze (Ar Tonelico II)
Appeared in: VGMC3
From I’ve herad I really like the style of Ar Tonelico II songs. Upbeat catchy and nice instrumentation.
While Mechanical Maze is my least favorite AT2 song that’s been in a contest, it’s still one I still find fun to listen to.
315.Calling to the Night (Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops)
Appeared in: VGMC2, 3
One of the few MGS vocal songs I actually like.
This song is simpler than the similar Heaven’s Divide but I feel like it as a better melody and is just paced really well and has better instrumentation.
And of course the singer is good.
314.The Capital City of Flowers in the Sky (Touhou: Perfect Cherry Blossom)
Appeared in: VGMC3
One of the first songs on this list that’s quite long but I still like it all the way through.
This Touhou song has good stuff: a somewhat wistful melody, decent percussion, and a cool melody.
313.Life is Beautiful (Deadly Premonition)
Appeared in: VGMC5
Whistling done right in a song can make it quite cool, and this is a pretty decent example of one.
312.Wind Scene (Chrono Trigger)
Appeared in: VGMC5
A song from Chrono Trigger I’ve always liked.
It really captures the feeling of being in a mystical mysterious OTHER WORLD.
311.Great Fairy Wars ~ Fairy Wars (Touhou 12.8 Great Fairy Wars)
Appeared in: VGMC5
A pretty upbeat Touhou song with nice piano and whatever that other instrument is used for most of the song is.
