I've done a lot of behind-the-scenes preparation. This will get going faster, I assure you.

Believing oneself to be perfect is often the sign of a delusional mind... (sorry, I just HAD to say it out loud) It starts off with a choir-like synth with a marcato feelvery foreboding. Then you got this moment of silence (echo), and then some more weird vioces and the organ comes in and you KNOW its serious! Love the chords and I love the way its in minor except at the ends of the phrases where it puts a TON of emphasis on the major. (E-F#-F#-G# outlined in the phrase) At 1:23 you got cool percussion, including an active xylophone that keeps the suspense going. Then at 1:44 - everything drops out and you got an a capella quasi-chant singing, singing a classical-ish style, continuing the same idea as the organ before cool! Then you got a harpsichord doing a fast Bach Toccata & Fugue idea going and going and going (its cool the way it gradually moves around), perfectly placed. Overall, its nice, but not among my favorite Umineko tracks. I used to like it a lot more, though.

With system0 down, we are now 1/3 of the way through the project! The only "series" completely eliminated so far is Undertale. Any game or series with two or more contestants are counted as a "series". Let's look at which ones remain undefeated!

Ar Tonelico/nosurge
bemani
Bravely Default
Chrono
Final Fantasy
Kirby
Metal Gear Solid
Okami
Super Smash Bros.
Terraria Calamity
VVVVVV

Eleven series. Wow.
