hombad46 04/25/21 4:47:14 PM #3:	Engage the Enemy almost feels like cheating 'cause I remember it more for the cutscenes it plays in than the boss battles.

CaptainOfCrush 04/25/21 5:13:52 PM #5:	Unfinished Business (I thought it was called Unfinished Battle?) is so damn good that I find it both appropriate and shameful that it's used ONCE during the entire game - and it doesn't even loop! Engage the Enemy is probably the game's most iconic track (either that or YWKON), but I gotta rep Dunban's unofficial banger. --- Yoblazer https://imgur.com/gByqgPg <cite>CaptainOfCrush posted [p:953220296] in Xenoblade ...

KamikazePotato 04/25/21 5:16:36 PM #6:	The original version of An Obstacle In Our Path is maybe my favorite Xenoblade song. It encapsulates high-adrenaline tension.

andylt 04/25/21 6:23:40 PM #8:	Not sure what I'll vote yet but I've found that Tragic Decision is the one that gets in my head the most often. I'm surprised at Unfinished doing so well with how rarely it plays but it is a good track! hombad46 posted... Engage the Enemy almost feels like cheating 'cause I remember it more for the cutscenes it plays in than the boss battles. Oh well, voting it anyway Yeah I debated whether to include Engage the Enemy but it does play in boss fights so there's no real reason not to. CaptainOfCrush posted... Unfinished Business (I thought it was called Unfinished Battle?) is so damn good that I find it both appropriate and shameful that it's used ONCE during the entire game - and it doesn't even loop! Apparently Unfinished Battle is the original Japanese title, but its official name in English is Unfinished Business. I've looked this kind of thing up previously as I'd noted some name discrepancies, it looks like there were fan translated names of the Japanese track titles before we got official English names in the 3DS release (like One Who Gets in Our Way instead of An Obstacle in Our Path). And it does play once more in Future Connected! Though weirdly they still don't loop it. --- Slowly becoming a Final Fantasy aficionado.

There are 44 area themes for the next poll so it'll have to be nominations, what would be a fair number limit on noms per person? --- Slowly becoming a Final Fantasy aficionado.
