Time for Round 2! My writeups from now on will focus more on the matchups rather than the individual songs, meaning they'll be shorter, but I'll still try to keep them up.

Dreams in a pie is still great. Maaya Sakamoto vocals, Chris Mosdell lyrics, and great string-writing are hard to beat, and Labyrinth V - Forgotten Capital definitely doesn't come close to it. The buildup in the last portion of Dreams in a pie is really good, especially when the drums are introduced at 3:20. Labyrinth V is still pretty good, particularly in the bassline. Pretty easy vote for Dreams though.

I still think Chrono Trigger is one of Mitsuda's weaker soundtracks (hopefully this opinion doesn't get me killed), but Secret of the Forest is definitely one of the best from it. Such a great atmosphere and melody to it. Imaginary Shopping District has some good parts to it, particularly in the synths and the drop at 0:33, but it's a bit too chaotic overall for my taste. Another easy vote for Forest here.

Mechonis Field is still absolutely elite. Perfect blend of synths for me. I do wish the original version were nommed instead, but alas. This one is still great though. Kaze no Ne is really good too, but it certainly doesn't come close in this matchup. I appreciate the uilleann pipe solo in the middle quite a bit.

I like all 6 songs today, which is good. Labyrinth V and Imaginary Shopping District are a step below the rest though.
