- No alt accounts, no rallying or begging, etc., etc.... You only get one vote! Swapping votes is alright, just make clear that you've already made a vote and are swapping.

Even if Xepher wasn't there on the poll, it would still be very painful to have to decide between IBTR and Nilin :(

I remember after the bracket came out I kept hearing 0:25 of Valestein Castle in my head but could not for the life of me figure out which song it was! The punchy snare really carries this track, but why do Falcom dungeon themes always sound like battle themes...

For Ys at least, dungeons are mostly combat with enemies.

Sorry you can't read any posts but the ones you can be a dick about, but I guess doing anything but jackassery is off-brand for you.

you not understanding context or conversation flow online would explain a lot

hint: I wasn't fucking disputing Mac

---

This is the part where I sneakily edit my post to say Ys instead

---

your point isnt even wrong! Falcom songs sound battley more often than most RPGs. Even Trails has a lot, esp in Crossbell/Cold Steel

RIP Valestein. Good tracks really got me voting against Falcom.

Tonitrus
Pioneer's Horizon
Valestein Castle

My opinion on both of the match 1 songs fluctuates greatly from day-to-day, but they both average out to good.

---

I can't even remember the last time I voted against Kill Command in a VGMC match, but it couldn't have been often. I love Pioneer's Horizon more and more with each listen.

---

Man, another day where I vote against the Senko no Ronde song, and I even bought the game during the Steam summer sale!

Valestein Castle is just too good.

---

change / Pioneer's / Tactic

weird to have such heated posts in the voting topic at this stage but maybe i just havent been paying enough attention to someone's posts
