Welcome to today's topic for Video Game Music Contest 14, a tournament of the best tracks from games, as decided upon by you, the voters.

Rules:
- Listen to both of the songs. Links have conveniently been provided for both songs. Even if Song A is your favorite of all-time and Song B is from a series you hate... Listen. To. Both. (If I have suspicions your vote is not based on a fair and impartial preference, it will be disqualified.)
- Obvious contest rules apply (no alts, one vote per person, no rallying, etc.).
- Please make your voting options clear, rather than burying them in text.
- Each set of matches lasts 24 hours, even if the new one isnt up by then. (Matches do not begin until at least 10:00 EDT.)
- Always vote on the versions of the song provided, not versions from different sources.
- If you know ahead of time that you're not going to be around and you want to vote in advance, post your choices in the discussion/bracket topic.
- Please do NOT post tallies/score updates in the middle of the match, as this has a tendency to directly influence matches.
- You don't have to vote in all the matches, but it'd be cool if you did!

abstain for now

Second match is a hard choice. I know I was originally super excited about Least 333 seconds, giving it a 10/10 and saying it was my favorite among the nominations I listened to that I wasn't already familiar with, but I have more mixed feelings about it now. This might be a record as far as how fast my feelings on a piece of vgm has changed in such a short time, sorry cako! Kishgal is more consistently interesting to me, but the highs aren't as high as with 333. I'll have to listen to both again tomorrow.

It takes about 2 1/2 minutes for 333 to get interesting; likewise the very end is disappointing. But the stuff inbetween is way too cool!

I think I've grown on The Least 333sec a little since the previous match it was in, but part of me still feels like the match is a little close.
