I want to say needs no fixing, but getting rid of blue coins seems like it can only be a good thing.

Oh, this. Yes. You could keep kind of the Red coin-type shines for levels, but just respawning blue coins was terrible. Keep to levels for getting Shines.

#53. Yuna's Theme
Game: Final Fantasy X
Character: Yuna



Song Rating: 7
Character Rating: 4

Entertainingly, Snake had me rate this in my previous VGM topic. It dropped in rating by 1 or 2 points. The reason it did so... is because since then I've played FFX. While you can get into detail of how well it represents Yuna, there's also a few things. First off... there are two scenes I remember this song being played during... First is when you depart from Besaid... I thought it was just an area theme at the time. The second... was the one that dropped this rating for real... "AHAHAHAHAHAHA" ... Nothing ruins a song like being unable to unhear rediculously bad acting during it. Now, I especially kept quiet during my FFX playthrough topic about character rankings... so this is the first time you'll hear of it... Yuna's my least favorite party member. There's a couple reasons why. 1) I dislike her in battle. She's either a White Mage... or a ruin everyone's experience because a summon takes up all slots. In any battle she's either the most necessary to keep on the field for Esuna/Nul magics... etc... Or the worst because no one needs healing. 2) Honestly is something I might keep quiet about just so Snake doesn't have to read it. I dislike her personality pretty heavily and there's a reason why that I can't quote Auron perfectly on. Otherwise I'd have left a quote here instead.

... That moment when I just realized I spelt her name wrong because I spelt it like the FE character. Lol whoops. Might be where I didn't understand FL81's thing.

But yeah, the main tune is actually fantastic, even when it pulls away from the main melody it's pretty good. It's just the "lows" I speak of is the fact that it feels like I'm listening to the song on repeat for almost 4 minutes. It's like a 45 second full sequence that never deviates from its original purpose. I never like songs like this. It's a repeated chorus basically... songs aren't fun for me unless they really put the effort into it. One prime example of like me reversing this sort of statement is The River Flows in You. The song has basically two melodies... but. They steadily throw more loops into the main melody. Things like Triplets suddenly appear to give it a change in how the melody once worked.

I don't know how much more I can break it down. Although I can say... The song doesn't really scream "Erika" to me. It fits in with the general theme of Umineko and doesn't feel like it represents just her character. That's another thing that doesn't help the song appeal to me. Maybe you can prove me wrong.

#54. King of the Sky
Game: Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn
Character: Tibarn

Nominator: NBIceman

Song Rating: 6
Character Rating: 9

Special battle theme for Tibarn... and it's honestly pretty weak. Doesn't really feature anything that fantastically great for the character... who I should state, is one of the best PoR/RD characters. Not just an opinion but straight up fact. Do note that I said one of. Whoops, for all that I could comment on and I just don't know if it even matters. Guess I'll cut this write-up short.

#55. Satori Maiden ~ 3rd Eye
Game: Touhou 11: Subterrranean Animism
Character: Satori Komeiji

Nominator: Shonen_Bat

Song Rating: 6
Character Rating: 8

To me, the song has a main melody, and then there's mostly nothing outside of it. It's a song with some good parts, but is kind of just 'eh' when not playing those. I feel bad that I can't explain this as well as some other ones, but it's just what I have. Here we have our second Touhou character falling, and you can see by rating, it's not really the fault of the character, just how I did these rankings. There were three nominated from this game, and the other two are this character's "pets." Satori is a type of youkai that can read the heart and mind of any living creature (except other satoris, the type of youkai), which is why she's "all-powerful." She's beloved since it allows her to talk to animals. Through reading minds, she actually has the ability to tap into spell cards from previous games. It's a cool concept, I've nothing to dislike about her character. Just these sorts of things.

#56. Betrayal
Game: Silent Hill 2
Character: Pyramid Head

Nominator: Snake

Song Rating: 6
Character Rating: 8

This song... is pretty damn creepy. You essentially have metal work, something that sounds like a factory pounding... with just this eerie screeching laying there. Eventually an angelic tune kicks in and makes it continue to just be eerie. You understand perfectly what kind of genre the game is and just what manner of scenario it's playing during. Get. The. Fuck. Out. Sadly, it doesn't make for even good random bgm. I actually posted that straight from my spreadsheet, rather than writing a new write-up because I thought it worked. It didn't have the character write-up which I shall add now, however. Pyramid Head dropped quite quickly when I did my antagonist write-ups despite James ranking within my top 5 for the meaning of Silent Hill 2. And it truly was because there was no world where I could play the game because of how Pyramid Head works. I couldn't rank him highly then mostly to spite him. Here, however... he gets a bit less 3spooky5me treatment, and the reasons are all SH2 spoilers. Those of you who have played it understand, those of you who haven't... Well, either do your research... or play/watch it yourself. It's pretty cool. One thing I will add... One of the biggest factors of this switch in opinion for me, is that he supposedly basically never actually attacks you. He's just there to scare the shit out of you. Oh, and can't seem to get a good image size just by searching... too lazy to fix one. I've been trying to not have massive pictures lately.

#57. Deep Blue Jeer
Game: Umineko no Naku Koro Ni Chiru
Character: Eirika Furudo

Nominator: Raka_Putra

Song Rating: 6
Character Rating: 7

I started on character when I primarily did this write-up, but I should do song first... nearly always. The song hits this low because it's a good song... if it ends before it repeats. Because it starts to repeat and just turns to garbage. Ends up an average song because it hits highs of like 8 or 9, but lows of like 4. Sounds a bit weird averaging out, but that's how it randomly works. Now Eirika... Is the first character I hated so heavily that my opinion flipped. During episode 6, when she was killing all of Battler's first night victims I blew a goddamn gasket and got so pissed I had to turn off the game. And it was from that moment that she probably went up to one of my favorite Umineko characters. Then episode 8 happened and it was such a stupid role she dropped back to this rating.

Hinoka: 16 Mt. +4 Atk/Spd (for self) if an Infantry Unit or Flier Unit is within 2 spaces
Felicia: 14 Mt. Now applies debuff (-7 Def/Res) as a smoke as well and attacks the weaker of Def/Res like Dragons
Raven: Literally the same as Hauteclere
Caeda: 16 Mt. Wing Sword is effective against Cavalry and Armored

#58. Diabolosis

Song Rating: 6

It starts off really iffy, and then gets a really cool beginning, from there it has some cool parts, but it's also kind of boring. Like has a bit of potential, and a tune that reminds me of a song I can't seem to realize what it is at the moment. It's just... okay. Not bad, but wasted potential to me. Well, I remember Ash Crimson being nominated for one of my things, I did the little bit for there, and I... well, forget everything. I gave him a 6 because it seemingly fits.

#59. Zelos
Game: Tales of Symphonia

Nominator: WhiteLens

It doesn't do enough, to be honest. It loops around and could easily use like an extra instrument. It's not like Zelos is THIS simplistic. Also... I still don't even recognize the song from in-game, just one of those things. As for Zelos himself, I'm not going to say I don't dislike him... but I sure as hell am not a fan of his. He fits in Average because I've never wanted to give him the chance towards the end of the game (though I've never actually gotten to that set of scenes anyway). He's just lucky he's not my least favorite ToS party member.

this is just the tip of the absolute wanton destruction, violence, pestilence, rioting, etc Philadelphia is going through tonight.

In MASSIVE numbers, and to a really staggering degree. Like I know y'all are gonna say a lot of cities do this, but I don't think they're THIS bad. And THIS many people. All of whom are encouraging and proud of it. But all of this, combined with all of the old usual Philly shit makes them completely indefensible from now until the end of time. No longer do 'oh the media overblows it' or 'well every fanbase has some bad eggs, its just some bad people' or 'most philly fans are good people, really!'

Like this is truly disgraceful. Other fanbases are not THIS bad. I'm sorry that people like lefty and such have to get rolled up into this by virtue of supporting, but there's truly such a giganticly higher proportion of destruction lunatic assholes in the Philadelphia fanbase than any other one. Period. Forever. Indefensibly. These people don't deserve a championship if this is how they react to it.

yeah I'm biased but I think this is fair here. Let me know if you think I'm wrong- other fanbases that riot, literally loot, start fires, roll cars, etc... do other ones do it THIS much? like something outside of a single act or two. This is rampant.

Heres two other big, long suffering cities in recent years:

http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/breaking/ct-a-whole-lot-of-partying-but-few-problems-after-cubs-victory-20161103-story.html

So Id say Philly is winning the wanton destruction race so far!

I can join this with another recent one.

#60. Seto Kaiba's Theme
Game: Yu-Gi-Oh!: Forbidden Memories
Character: Seto Kaiba


Nominator: FL81

Song Rating: 6
Character Rating: 6

I never expected much out of this song, YGO as a whole never really has had great music regardless of video games or the animes. Even here, I heard this song and felt more like I was hearing the theme for like an Ancient Gear deck, some machine based deck since it's all factory sounds and the like. Not literally Blue Eyes. As easy to know, I know Kaiba from the anime. The games always take those characters and kind of one-dimensionalize them, since they don't usually have the story development and they don't want to deviate and create different development than the show might build. So, even though I don't think Kaiba's a bad character, he's not too much of an interesting one as he only really plays the role of Yugi's major rival.

Now I can say why I wanted to finish this off. This is the last *unknown* character of my 6 ratings. There's a few more 6s, but it comes with a character write-up too. This starts off as a wonderful song and then it continues as this beautiful melody... and then ends. And I sat there like... why. It's basically a chorus. Not even a full song and thus, lands in the Average ratings.

Cuphead seems interesting, checked out two people playing and instantly got hooked despite how bad I am at platformers. Just, as we just had a jazz song place... it's just... It's another song I have to be in a mood for, and the song will typically ruin that mood. It starts off great lyrically and then just turns into a repeating mess for the last minute. Would have been nice if they added another creative verse, rather than "don't mess with King Dice." Poor trdl, both times he's had songs drop, it's been two in a row. Will this be three in a row and eliminate him, or will he be safe for another day... or week... or so?
