New World Order
Servants of the Scourge (Theme of the Sentinels of the Devourer)


Top-notch day. Now we're entering elite territory, and it's a little sad that two songs have to go.

Match 1:

First match of the Round where I really hope things turn out okay. NWO's opportunity to retire is now. It is an excellent piece, and while I don't demerit Raging Waves's quality it is actually a great rock song that sounds great throughout its entire duration, unlike many others that fail to deliver, as well as being reminiscent of Falcom's awesome style (Etrian Odyssey isn't from Falcom, right?), NWO is on another level of hype. Plus, I'm learning it on flute, so having it retired would be a pretty cool incentive to learn it.

From the beginning of the match, I knew I'd favour NWO, but man... I'm still listening to Raging Waves and it's truly great. It's such a shame that it got paired up with such an awesome opponent.

Match 2:

This match is so similar to the first one in various ways. For example, I knew I'd favour Servants while coming in, but Level 1 is one of those songs I'd totally vote for in a different match-up so it could retire as well (maybe not so much for it being crazy good, but for it being great while also being iconic; you know, having a great, iconic song not in retirement just doesn't feel right). I still listened to both songs (like in the first match) to make sure, but yeah, without thinking about it too much, I'd go Servants > Crab, and I think that's how things will turn out as well.

Rankings:

Oof, the rankings. This is the first day where I would've actually wanted to be surprised next round to see which one I liked more: NWO or Servants, but having already listened to them separately, I think my preference is still clear. But I just realized... If both of them win today, next round they'll have to face off and argh, I'd like to root for NWO to win it all at this point but I know it's not gonna happen, as well as knowing that the long-awaited Servants/Crabulon match wouldn't take place if that was the case. So...

Here we go. The moment of truth. *listens, then compares*...

Oh... how far away, the retiree title! > What Is a Scourge? > World's Most Fragile Villain > The Beginning of the Calm Sea
