APOCALYPSIS NOCTIS Unseen Abyss Kuon Zanarkand Ruins and Kuon are two I liked enough to keep listening to every so often since the nominations, so easy matches for them. Noctis just barely edges out Extreme in round two. Round three I thought I didn't like either at first, but Unseen Abyss really won me over about three minutes in. --- **R.O.B.A.Z.O.I.D** ...

Really not feeling the RK version of Force Your Way, and Extreme XIV is such a downgrade from the original imo. rwlh posted... there is a LOT of really intense music today lolThis division is full of intense battle music but the top 4 seeds are all chill!

Side note despite voting for both the FFVIII remixes I kinda prefer the original FFVIII tracks in both cases. Quality close since they don't change a ton but they seem a little too busy now I guess? Do I need choral singing in everything not really

The Extreme XIV Unseen Abyss Kuon two great ff8 arrangements today but neither quite manages to top the originals (given the lofty standards they have to compare to, that's hardly a slight against them). brutal ffxiv raidboss extreme gets the benefit of being an arrangement of a slightly better base song and being an arrangement i have very little to criticise and it also just gets an easier matchup (no offense to apocanoctis lypsis but it's just a little outclassed) i tend to forget that gb sagas have some legit chiptune stuff in them (that should otherwise be/is memorable enough to deserve to be considered iconic). it's too bad it's facing up against one of what i've only now really been coming to terms with as unfortunately many examples of ff13-2's kind of revolutionary soundtrack (look i listened to it in full when it came out but most of the time now i just get reminded of it through talk on crazy chocobo or that big bridge arrangement). unseen abyss is a song made possible through some guy otherwise mainly known as a parasite eve composer (ok he was on ff11 too) and another guy they'd dragged away from (early) bemani and shmup stuff who also happened to be suitable for parasite eve. like shit man that's a dangerous team to have for non-mmo mainline final fantasy. 13-2 may have taken a """"safe"""" approach in many ways by tackling issues people had with the original head on but that philosophy clearly wasn't applied to the music... and yet, damn did it work. speaking of ambitious songs, aeons. aeons is... yes. aeons has had a lot of goodass arrangements that are excellent in their own right but nothing has really managed to fully beat the original at its game. this is an evil match though where it's up against something that almost inexplicably cannot stop pulling at my heartstrings. i want aeons to win but i also want eternity to advance more. it's a feeling alright. i blame feelings ...

APOCALYPSIS NOCTIS Unseen Abyss Kuon Apocalypsis Noctis was my fav XV song for a while, not sure if it still is... I remember being excited to hear the live rendition at a Distant Worlds concert and well, they botched it so bad I think about that every time I hear the actual song now, lol "Memories of Lightwaves" as I knew it back then, man... some of these songs really do take me back in time. Right when it starts playing I'm transported right back to what, November/December 2003? The crisp feel of fall in the air... 18 years ago now, damn. Anyways, it's probably my fav of this 8-pack, also a tough break for Contest of Aeons which would've voted for had it been in the non-Noctis matches ... Copied to Clipboard!
