| LeonhartFour 02/06/21 9:39:03 PM #34 | I wanted the Saints to win because that's my wife's team, but I'm also never rooting for Brady to win, although it's not really because of him. I've always low-key liked him. It's more because the media slurps him every time he wins, even when he nearly loses them the game instead of winning it. --- |

| LeonhartFour 02/06/21 9:14:59 PM #28 | nah it's fine, I don't really care about your "picking" accuracy, you're just doing the same thing everyone who's trying to talk themselves into the Bucs winning is doing "KC's O-Line is too beat up, the Bucs are secretly just as talented as the Chiefs!" this is what I've been hearing on my sports podcasts all week the Chiefs have the top three most talented players in this game and Mahomes is a cheat code that negates all your advantages anyway, it's like playing the Durant era Warriors the Bucs can win but they basically have to play an A game to do so, while the Chiefs can do what they did in the Super Bowl last year and still win by 10 --- |

| LeonhartFour 02/06/21 4:24:14 PM #436 | I feel like if it's in the final boss rush, even if there's a short cutscene break in between, you can count it. You could count something like Dark Messenger, Maybe I'm a Lion, Jenova Absolute, and I think it's close enough! --- |

Just that slow opening gradually escalating into the full blown song is so good. It keeps you on your toes for the entire track. --- |

If I had to give a serious answer, I'd probably pick VII because it's the version I always think of since it was my first FF game. FFX's is pretty good, too. --- |

| LeonhartFour 02/04/21 5:05:54 PM #414 | Tomorrow is victory theme and then final boss is the day after that. I would count Dark Messenger since it's not strictly the final boss just like I'd count Maybe I'm a Lion. I forgot about Fight with Seymour, too. That's another top tier one. --- |

| LeonhartFour 02/04/21 4:19:28 PM #409 | Oh, and I have to give recognition to the Airbuster boss theme from FFVIIR because it's so good. Tactics has a bunch of good battle themes, too. I keep forgetting about Remake and Tactics in these things! --- |
| Topic | SaveEstelle & LeonhartFour in New Houses: Playoff Edition [SELF] |
| LeonhartFour 02/04/21 4:17:55 PM #408 | I would count Premonition as a special battle theme since it only plays during sorceress battles. --- |
| Topic | SaveEstelle & LeonhartFour in New Houses: Playoff Edition [SELF] |
| LeonhartFour 02/04/21 4:01:19 PM #405 | Once again, I'm going to do regular and special themes because this is such a loaded category. Last boss music is a different day, so I won't include that here, obviously. Day 10: Best Boss Battle Theme Regular Boss Theme: Final Fantasy VIII - Force Your Way https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CZMWszd5SRk Special Boss Theme: Final Fantasy V - Clash on the Big Bridge https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dghlAQDQneU I almost decided to give boss theme to FFXIII for a clean sweep, but pretty much every boss theme from IV to XIII is in contention here (except for IX and X, which are fine but not top tier). There are a lot of good choices for special boss theme because those tend to be some of the best songs on any FF soundtrack, but I had to give it to FFV here. Special recognition for Decisive Battle from FFVI, J-E-N-O-V-A from FFVII, Premonition, Legendary Beast, and Maybe I'm a Lion from FFVIII, The Dark Messenger from FFIX (probably my runner-up all things considered), Challenge from FFX, and Apocalypsis Aquarius from FFXV. --- |

Great season. Naomi was the star of this season, and it's no coincidence that this was the first time since season 1 they kept her story arc in the show the same as in the book! also holy crap --- |

| LeonhartFour 02/03/21 12:33:04 PM #86 | They're valid options. I don't think they're good choices, and you get punished for making them in the long run, as you rightfully should. And yeah, Synthesis is probably the closest thing you get to a happy ending in ME3. I just personally find it weird and unsatisfying. --- |
| Topic | Mass Effect Legendary Edition release date May 14 |
| LeonhartFour 02/03/21 12:26:54 PM #82 | Also I'm not saying Destroy is my ending of choice. I just think it was clearly intended to be the canon ending because it's the only one where Shepard can survive as himself. I personally prefer Control even though it means TIM was right to an extent. I'm just more okay with Shepard being the one in control because it's the outcome least likely to screw over the entire galaxy. --- |

| LeonhartFour 02/03/21 12:21:31 PM #80 | HeroDelTiempo17 posted... I dont care about there not being a happy ending, I care that the endings aren't consistent from a thematic and narrative standpoint, and Destroy happens to be the least consistent of all! hey man if your Shepard was Renegade the whole way, he hated the geth so it works for him! --- |
| Topic | Mass Effect Legendary Edition release date May 14 |
| LeonhartFour 02/03/21 12:18:40 PM #77 | HeroDelTiempo17 posted... I basically refuse to accept Destroy as the canon ending when it involves Shepard committing genocide after the games have pretty firmly taken the bold stance that genocide is actually bad. every ending has its problems but I think that's also part of the point there wasn't going to be a "let's put a nice little bow on it and give everyone a happy ending" choice so everyone has to pick the one that's the least problematic for them (not meant to be an absolute defense of the endings because it's still not great but I do think not giving you an absolutely happy ending was a design choice) --- |
| Topic | Mass Effect Legendary Edition release date May 14 |
| LeonhartFour 02/03/21 12:14:34 PM #76 | okay except the thing didn't lie so you're throwing away billions of lives because you thought it might be lying and it wasn't it wasn't the logical decision, but hey if your Shepard doesn't make logical decisions then that's fine! --- |

Lose the battle, won the war. except I don't remember Shepard actually losing too many battles! also he lost the war and someone else had to win the next one I mean you can like it as a rejection of the original endings if you hated them but within the context of the plot it's an awful decision --- |

| LeonhartFour 02/03/21 10:37:24 AM #389 | Day 9: Best Battle Theme Final Fantasy XIII - Blinded by Light https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xfu0XBf8kmk Since tomorrow is boss theme, I assume this is meant to just be normal battle themes. This is a tough call because I really like IV, VII, IX, and X's as well, but I feel like XIII's hits the highest highs. The main part of the song is just too good. --- |

| LeonhartFour 02/02/21 5:09:37 PM #371 | Oh yeah, Within the Giant is a great single-time dungeon theme. I guess I should've picked something that's only used once outside of the final dungeon, too. Devil's Lab is a strong choice there, too. eh I'll just let Sunleth Waterscape count for that --- |
