Weight of the World
Love Scope
Laguerra del Mundo

NieR: Automata - Weight of the World (Japanese) at RANKING SPOILERS is my ???th favorite song in the contest!! emotionalvocal.mp3

SOUND VOLTEX VIVID WAVE - Sudden Visitor at is my ???th favorite song in the contest!! SDVX songs tend to be more obnoxious than I'd prefer. This one isn't so bad though the first half still touches on that. The retraux section in the middle doesn't really do it for me. This whole song doesn't really do it for me. The last third just makes me want to listen to Pac Twin Attack

Aurora Memoria - Classroom at 8.8 is my ???th favorite song in the contest!! telephone noises. While I was listening to this they were having a discussion in #board-8 about the Pledge of Allegiance. Wish this played in the morning instead of that.

The Caligula Effect: Overdose - Love Scope at 9.6 is my ???th favorite song in the contest!! While I was listening to this they were having a discussion in #board-8 about the US National Anthm. I mentioned that people singing it well is largely the basis of my most-destested genre of music: songs with no (or a very mellow, usually piano) backing that clearly exist so that the singer can show just how TALENTED they are. Songs sung emotionally so that you know that the singer is skilled enough to sing emotionally. It's nauseating and aggravating. The singer of this song is extremely emotional and is clearly trying very hard.

This song is very much not the genre I described. She genuinely sounds like she's pouring her entire heart and soul into the song. Holy shit it's phenomenal. THE VOICE CRACKS! The instrumental is pretty good but nothing to write home about; is entirely selling it. I definately prefer this to Onboro, and the vocals are a big part. It's kind of weird seeing how a vocaloid artist composed it, because this song would not work with vocaloids in the absolute slightest (weirdly, I think in some ways I dislike vocaloid for almost similar reasons to that genre above, but that's not a topic for this).

Fuck I didn't expect to rate this this high but I keep thinking it's better than almost every song I compare it to. Sorry Aurora Memoria.

Granado Espada - Laguerra del Mundo at RANKING SPOILERS is my ???th favorite retiree in the contest!! aw damn you trdl23

Final Fantasy X - Someday the Dream Will End at 9.8 is my ???th favorite retiree in the contest!! An incredible, if basic, rendition of the overarching motif of my favorite game. I was pretty disappointed when I saw it retired the year before I started doing VGMC since this was the first song I thought of nominating. Nothing really needs to be said about this. I don't think I've subjecting people to my harmonic rendition; if I have, I apologize.

Another extraordinarily powerful ToC match. Why did you group all of my favorite songs together like this?

Arios is also no Cassisus! You need to have an impenetrable ego to be Cassius, a complete belief that you're the baddest motherfucker around... because you are

I've been thinking. Estelle and Joshua had to kill four rats and a couple of swarms of moths in the sewers under their tiny hometown in order to get their junior bracer certification (along with the baby easy test that every eight year old who's done a year of Sunday School could pass). The Ravens had to clear a secluded mountain cave that used to be inhabited by a dragon, fighting ice elementals, dinosaurs and SPACE CUTTLEFISH and eventually AGATE... only to becomes juniors conditionally! Rocco almost died!

Another thought occurs: there's probably a nonzero amount of people who hated the Bright kids and rolled their eyes in disgust when Estelle and Joshua popped up here.
Wait, can they even be considered people?

I guess they really want to make Guy the Cassius of this game. Nobody can replace Papa in my heart, especially if they're not talented enough to achieve immortality like him

Two new bracers? KIDDOS? Could it be...!

YES

I knew that they were showing up eventually but I didn't expect it to be this early! Half the motivation I had for replaying the series came from me missing Estelle

Yeah, in Snrkiko's[sp] Vita topic he said he was gonna try to get the Sky Evo songs on it and I asked why; as far as every song I heard, no Evo Sky song was better than the original. I've heard a lot of great Crossbell Evo songs to the point where I'd begun to think it was the "standard".

i've heard azure arbitrator evo, though. dont want that in my game over the original

man the receptionist gives off strong Persona vibes. I think I prefer the Sora artstyle in general, though I appreciate how the eyes in this are less grotesquely anime and seem actually attached to every character's face

Can't believe we had to meet a cult so early in the game. Yes I am talking about the FISHERMAN'S GUILD what did you thing i was referring to? speaking of which one of the people here knows that lloyd used to fish. now it is my headcanon that lloyd is the same lloyd in sora (remember he told you about the ID meeting with the capuas at valleria? he gave estelle her fishing notebook and rod? you duel him in the first fishing game in 3rd? HE'S VERY IMPORTANT TO THE LORE)

Oh hey Formidable Enemy*!... and this guy is a formidable enemy sheesh. maybe i should give lloyd literally any quartz. Now I have food and actual magic! GO SPEED DOWN GO STR UP!... wow buffs in this game last no time at all do they? At least in CS I think they often stuck around for five turns? Honestly the fights I hated most in 3rd were in the doors where you had very little flexibility in setups or tactics, and often ended up needing to do a cycle of "attack attack heal attack attack heal" to win the fight. oh thank god i don't need to actually kill him that would've been problematic

this reporter is just nial and dorothy rolled into one

*this sounds a little different than I'm used to I think? oh apparently the one i know is Evo but i mislabeled it oops. almost want to use the evo soundtrack now

EXEC PAJA
Two Dragons
YOaTI

Ar Tonelico: Melody of Elemia - EXEC_PAJA/.#Orica extracting. at 9.2 is my 1st favorite Exa Pico discovery of the contest! The atmosphere in this is SO GOOD. It's all just SO GOOD. The part where the instrumentation drops out at 3:40 is kind of whatever, but the whispery thing at 4:08 makes up for it. It kind of think it should've ended there tbh. Great song.

Billy Hatcher and the Giant Egg - Chant This Charm at 9 is my ???th favorite song in the contest!! How do you even rate this? The name is accurate; this is one of the most charming songs I've ever heard. The recorders, the cheesy lyrics and silly engrish, the almost cliched happy riffs... I also have a huge smile when I listen to this song. I really expected to rate this lower but when I'm listening to it I just CAN'T. I CANNOT.

Yakuza 0 - Two Dragons at 9.3 is my ???th favorite song in the contest!! This song makes me want to GO ON A BOAT and TAKE OFF MY SHIRT and PUNCH A DRAGON DOWN A FLIGHT OF STAIRS. All of the Y0 boss fights themes are excellent. Honestly a perfect blend of EPIC METAL and MELODRAMA and DESTINY that is AMAZING despite being CHEESY AS FUCK. Sorry Kirby, but THERE CAN ONLY BE ONE DRAGON (mysterious trap shouldve been switched with chronicleseven so that would make sense)

Kirby Triple Deluxe - Mysterious Trap at 8.6 is my ???th favorite song in the contest!! This has pretty similar appeal to Waterworks in my eyes, I dunno. The dissonance 50 seconds in is pretty cool. I like really overt dissonance like that (speaking of DRAGONS battle against a dragon from legend of legacy shouldve been here :()

Popn Music 18 - Kurokami Midareshi Shura to Narite at 8.5 is my ???th favorite retiree in the contest!! The blend of traditional Japanese instrumentation and the very heavy guitars and nice singer is definitely something. Some days I'd probably think it's lame. Today I think it's cool. I don't think the mixing is great or the guitars are low quality; if that were fixed I'd like it even more.

Atelier Ayesha - Yesterdays Opponents are Todays Ingredients at 9.85 is my ???th favorite retiree in the contest!! This perhaps holds the record for how much I like a song vs how much I was cheering for it to lose in any match. You are my favorite Ayesha battle theme (which is saying a lot), but you're not IF Autumn.

probably not gonna be an actual playthrough topic and more of a place to share my general shitposts and frustrations so that I don't clog the falcom channel. topic will have sporadic spoilers for trails in the sky, CS1 and 2 (haven't done the bonus mission at the end of cold steel 2 yet) and progressive on zero.

I've done the first Geofront expedition. The boss fight was pretty annoying since sometimes those slimes just really wanted to kill the kid, but after having beaten 3rd on Nightmare on a clean save I've become extremely patient with bullshit. Nothing here is gonna be worse than Cassius or the Enforcers or delay cannon spam black Dragion THAT YOU CAN'T ADJUST QUARTZ FOR

Lloyd seems pretty similar to Rean so far. Other characters are just alright and have potential

I like how you can really see how the series progressed between Sky and Cold Steel. The magic setup is like Sky's but the spells themselves are like Cold Steel (Breath instead of La Tear, for example). The game is isometric with overworld chibis like Sky but you attack enemies to stun them for battle advantages. etc

I saw this dancer girl leaving the circus who said she was going to the city hall to get housing information. I went to city hall and she was leaving after having a Downtown apartment recommended to her by the receptionist who became concerned that she suggested a place so seedy. I feel like this is already a hidden quest where I'd have to rescue her, but I explored Downtown again and nothing was up. Maybe my instincts are overtuned after getting all Sky BP

My favorite exams were take home open book, but unlimited time. I think I spent 20 hours on one over a single weekend.

The one of those I had during normal times was my least favorite. Nothing hammers how dumb you are like being unable to do well on a test that gives you every opportunity to pass. I was upset when he gave us an extra half-hour for the open-note final because that just meant another thirty minutes of me sitting there stressed that I didn't know how to do anything.

Rustling Throb ~ Cloche
Time for a Great Turnabout!
OPEN THE EYES

Ar tonelico II: Melody of Metafalica - Rustling Throb ~ Cloche at 8.9 is my 2nd favorite Gust discovery in the contest!! I still need to figure out this contest's hymmnos ranking. This is third, I guess. All of the good things about other hymmnos apply to this one. Simple but powerful.

Cave Story+ - Running Hell at 8.1 is my ???th favorite song in the contest!! I like the calmer, more introspective Cave Story songs over things like this. It's decent, just unremarkable, aside from the "chorus" which can't carry it.

YAS - Battle YAS 2 at 7.3 is my ???th favorite song in the contest!! I strongly dislike the intro. It feels cliched, somehow. I don't know. It bothers me a little less when it's properly integrated into the song. I don't know. I really don't like that melody. At like 1:40 when the song starts to do other things it becomes better, although what it does isn't really to my taste, so it ascends above "dislike" to "indifference". I don't know. I'm being really harsh on this and I DON'T KNOW WHY. Orochi Battle kind of bugs me in the same way too, to a less great extent.

Dai Gyakuten Saiban - Time for a Great Turnabout at 7.7 is my ???th favorite song in the contest!! I don't care about this song at all. I have it saved because I cared just enough to grab it in a batch of other things, and I enjoy it, I guess. It's almost elevator noise to me somehow. Not really in love with the melody in this one, or the instruments. Give me like 80% of other AA songs over this.

There is a big gap between these two songs. Imagine using reasonable scoring systems

Steins;Gate - Skyclad Observer at is my ???th favorite retiree in the contest!! Welcome to the VGM Bathroom's second guessing game!

The Filthy Mind
Jazzy NNYC
Douwa Kairou

Terraria Calamity - The Filthy Mind (Theme of the Hive Mind) at is my ???th favorite song in the contest!! I love DM DOKURO!! I love this song so much that I fought this boss for over an hour and a half with friends totally just so we could listen to it and not because our arena was shit and it was invincible 80% of the time. This is the kind of odd-time stuff I especially love (compare it to Strange Fruits metal cover). I don't know what it is most of the time, ask Mycro for that; I just know it's good. Good guitars good flute good song. I should really make a TCal song ranking but it's too difficult to choose. Regardless, I know this would be near the top.

Kirby's Dream Land 3 - Sand Canyon 3 at 8.7 is my ???th favorite song in the contest!! good korb

Skeleton Boomerang - Disco Necropolis at 8.4 is my ???th favorite song in the contest!! What a start! The rest doesn't live up to the hype. It's good, just not really in the mood for this right now. A year or too ago when I was in my big YASUI YASUI YASUI phase I'd be more for it (Yo-Kai Disco Necropolis)

Devil Engine - Jazzy NNYC at 9.1 is my ???th favorite song in the contest!! What a start! The rest lives up to the hype. This is what I wanted the song to do. Big sax boy HONK. Reminds me of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=khMw5hu06lU for some reason not sure if that's justifiable or not. Think it's the bwoo bwoos at :20 and how it does something different ten seconds later.

Shadowbringers
Bitbop
Rapal

Nostalgia Op.2 - Bad End Syndrome at 8.4 is my ???th favorite song in the contest!! pop'n vibes. Doesn't do as much as I might hope it would but that chorus in the middle is pretty good and I like the aesthetic.

Final Fantasy XIV: Shadowbringers - Shadowbringers at 8.5 is my ???th favorite song in the contest!! FINISH THE CYCLE OF ETERNAL RETURN! Wowee now i know how to count in English! I like the guitar. The guy in the video looks goofy. Like Giliath Osborne going through an emo phase in his midlife crisis.

Resident Evil 2 - Saudade at 8.3 is my ???th favorite song in the contest!! Opening always makes me think it's gong to be a song that's in Rebel Galaxy. You don't get many songs like this in VGMC. I'm glad it's here. It's pretty good, just not the most unique song.

Blade Ballet - Bitbop at 8.6 is my ???th favorite song in the contest!! This is definitely a bit bop.

The Ninja Warriors (Sega CD) - Daddy Mulk at 8.4 is my ???th favorite retiree in the contest!! I'm gonna be honest, I never really got the appeal of this song. It's good, just not seeing the reason people are so in love with it. I guess the breakdown 3 minutes in is pretty cool.

Granado Espada - Rapal at is my ???th favorite song in the contest!! Granado Espada, my child. I love you. You are definitely not my favorite one that's gotten into a contest however, probably only above Ni Miedo. Still puts it above most other retirees. VGMC 9 did something right for once.
This thumbnail is excellent. It's almost as good as Windows Production. The guy looks like he's trying so hard not to look at the girl's boobs.

Mirror Temple

Celeste - Mirror Temple (Mirror Magic Mix) at 8.7 is my ???th favorite song in the contest!! Probably my favorite B-side theme, though I don't know all of them very well. I definitely dig the vibe that this is going for. It doesn't do anything super new or unique. It's just nice.

Fire Emblem: Three Houses - Chasing Daybreak (Rain) at 5.0 is my ???th favorite song in the contest!! I'm with Mycro... in that I can't remember what this sounds like unless I'm listening. Unlike with Cold Science, I actively hold that against this. It's so fucking generic. Like Id Purpose does some cool things, ok, whatever. This is the FE song that should not be in. It's the epitome of everything lefty dislikes about FE music. Just... shoo. Go away. Come back if you decide to be worth anything. Christ I've listened to it twice and it doesn't feel like I've heard anything. You get a five because you are white noise to me. That isn't how this scale works BUT IT IS NOW

Beatmania IIDX 25 Cannon Ballers - Midnight Lady at 8.4 is my ???th favorite song in the contest!! nice

Einhander - Thermosphere at 8.9 is my ???th favorite song in the contest!! I don't hear this song very often so I usually forget what it sounds like. My reaction every time I hear it again is "oh yeah, so that's why mycro likes it". The intro doesn't do a lot for me but the pianos at :40 are great. Pretty good at what it's trying to do.
