Breath of Forest SaGa Frontier 2 Medley A -LoV Edit- Para Bellum For some reason, not super keen on Xenoblade today. For some other reason, not super keen on the chill tune in round 3.

Breath of Forest SaGa Frontier 2 Medley A -LoV Edit- Para Bellum I'm officially back after forgetting that VGMC was a thing LOL. Anyway I'm super busy today so no writeup but, match 2 hurts. I really want to support what is possibly my favourite game soundtrack of the past decade, but on the other hand you can't really beat the power of Hamauzu. Nishiki's arrangement chops surprised me on this one too, I mean I like Nishiki most days but this was even more interesting than the Nishiki I'm used to. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Breath of Forest SaGa Frontier 2 Medley A -LoV Edit- Para Bellum Forest is good, CHAMP takes too long to get going and I'm still not really feeling it when it does. I like the first 20 seconds though. Recall is a rare Xenomiss for me, I like bits and pieces of it but as a whole it feels less than the sum of its parts. Bit bland. SaGa isn't all hits either but it has segments I like. Think is chill, I like it quite a lot, but unfortunately it's up against my fav song today in Para Bellum. Bellum is doing a lot of stuff and I'm amazed how well I like all of it considering the actual soundfont (if that what it's called) doesn't sound super pleasant to me. It's a great achievement, my fav bit is probs from 4:37. Forest: 3.5/5 CHAMP: 1.5/5 Recall: 2.5/5 SaGa: 2.5/5 Para: 4.5/5 think?: 3.5/5 --- Very slowly becoming a Final Fantasy aficionado. ...

I like Breath of Forest significantly better than I liked Emmental Catalepsy. Nice piano, and I like the whistle as the primary instrument here. Nice erhu section as well. Melody is solid, but definitely not something super memorable. Fun song overall. The panning in the bass of Champion Ritual is a bit much lol. Switching channels every beat isn't exactly pleasant to listen to. I gets better about 2 minutes in. But it never gets particularly interesting compositionally for me. So this is a fairly easy vote here for Breath of Forest. You Will Recall Our Names is definitely the weakest Xenoblade entry in the contest. But it's still pretty good. Some nice melodies, e-guitars, and horns used in this. Some nice basswork in the background as well. Probably gonna get my vote for this match. There are some nice motifs used the SaGa Frontier 2 Medley. Though I'm not a huge fan of medleys in general, unless they're well-executed. This one's just the typical "lets put a bunch of songs one right after the other regardless of whether they go well together or not" type of medley. Though this one's better than a lot of other medleys I've heard as far as cohesion goes. This one does drag quite a bit as well, so another fairly easy match for me. Para Bellum is pretty interesting. I like some of the motifs, although I'm not a huge fan of the instruments all sounding super fake. But yeah, not a huge fan of this overall. how do you think? is pretty interesting with the synths it uses. Interesting DnB instrumental as well. Vocals are solid, but nothing special. Just an ok song all in all, but it's definitely better than Para Bellum, so it'll still get my vote. Eh, kind of a weak day today tbh.

Breath of Forest You Will Recall Our Names Para Bellum Breath of Forest still maybe my favorite MRD song. Champion Ritual has a great start, and some fun little bits. Recall is a fine sequel to Know. Medley goes a lot of different places, as I could've expected from a medley I guess. I like the part before the 6 minute mark a lot. Interesting match. Para Bellum's pretty solid and has moments of greatness. Think is pretty forgettable.

Breath of Forest SaGa Frontier 2 Medley A -LoV Edit- Para Bellum Breath of Forest :) CHAMPION RITUAL is fine once it picks up but it's outclassed here. YWRON is a style I generally like a good bit but not a great example of it - feels kind of muddy and occasionally too busy at times. And even if I was just in a JRPG mood (I often am) the SaGa Frontier 2 Medley delivers that in a much neater package. Para Bellum is really cool! Surprisingly "epic" rock song given the soundfont. I do not think much of its opponent in any way. --- A hero cannot be defeated simply by making him die. ... Copied to Clipboard!
