Back in the day when BOST was a thing, it made me realize just how good this game's soundtrack is

Yeah, even if I wasn't just playing around I could name several really good songs/snubs from this bracket... of 32 songs lol. The Ayesha OST really is fantastic. It's up there with AT2 and Blue Reflection for Best Gust OST IMO.
---

Yup.

Those three, Ar Nosurge, and Atelier Shallie are 100% my top 5, though ordering them is a task bordering on impossible.
---

That's probably my top 5 too.
---

BR is my 3rd and Atelier Shallie is my 4th favorite OST ever, and Ar nosurge, AT2, Eschatology, and probably Lydie/Suelle and Mana Khemia (maybe not for both) would beat out Ayesha but like.... yeah, it's an amazing OST for sure.

where the JUNK is Caw Caw Heaven and Guidance?!?! time for a side bracket to add in glass cotton flower smh

IF ~ Autumn > Stargazer
Swinging Hair Ornaments > Getting Closer
Sunshine Rondo > Altair
Undine > The Sign is Fleeting from the Mist

that doesn't cover the whole time i'm gone but i don't have enough time to rank all these to account for hypothetical matches and i'm pretty sure that would be frowned upon anyway

MARIA > Invitation Flower ~ Winter ~~ 5-1
A Far, Far, Distant Place > Baby Bird ~~ 5-0

people are probably unhappy that these matches are lopsided and today's matches are broken
