How many matches per day should there be in Round 2?
Vote
Note: I'm planning to move the round start time 5 hours later beginning with R2, to better accommodate Americans. Also running yesterday's poll again with the most popular options, I can understand the arguments for both and I don't want anyone getting burned out on the contest. Full bracket (we're currently in the 'Lower' section): https://www.bracketmaker.com/tlist.cfm?tid=475177 Results & Discussion Topic: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/8-gamefaqs-contests/79743704 Rules: -You may vote for one track in each match. -You do not have to vote in every match, and you do not have to vote all at once. -Please make your votes clear. -Please familiarise yourself with both of the tracks in a match before voting. -You can vote based on any metric you wish, as long as it is about the music. -The matches will last 24 hours from the posting of this topic. -The track with more votes in each match moves on, the other is eliminated. -If a match is tied after 24 hours, that match will remain open until one more new vote is cast. -No alts, no rallying, no trading votes, no deleting posts. -Please do not provide any updates to the scores. -Have fun!

Fight On! Break the Limit! Insanity why did this version of aeris get in i have a friend who unironically watches "unusual meme compilation" videos regularly. thanks to him i've unfortunately been exposed to the fact that stuff like zanarkand comes up in them so the song's ruined for me forever i'm down on (most) choirs currently so my views on btl are weaker than usual... buuuut i think i'm still gonna take it. close though i said (most) i don't mind this one and even if i did insanity's got plenty else to it ...

Fight On! Break the Limit! Insanity i was a little disappointed when the lyrics of plains kicked in, but i soon grew fond of them. think i am more attached to aerith's theme overall in the end. this is probably why i shouldn't go into some of these songs blind. wow break the limit is so fucking cool! i'm still unsure about insanity's use of vocals to be honest. ff14 music is either a resounding hit or something that i don't outright dislike but still aren't sure how much i like either. ...

Zanarkand Break the Limit! Battle 1 Echoing many others here, this is a very tough day. Plains of Eternity is great, maybe my fav track of XIII-2 and I would've nominated it if nobody else did. But something about this version of Aerith grabs me, I keep coming back to it. rwlh posted... Zanarkand is great, but I don't remember liking Fight On at all.Same! Though I still like Zanarkand more, it's tighter than I thought. Balamb GARDEN is a beautiful track that I'm very fond of, but Break the Limit is one of my fav discoveries of the contest and I'd probs take it really far. Bad matchup for Balamb! Last match is the easiest for me, I simply don't feel it with Insanity. --- Slowly becoming a Final Fantasy aficionado. Currently playing: Final Fantasy XV ... Copied to Clipboard!
