mini-writeups followed by rankings:
Xenosaga III - Hepatica
Not the best XS3 choice. Give me Godsibb any day. I will say that Hepatica is really cool as a boss theme, but outside the game it suffers from long stretches of time where basically nothing happens. ...Not that those aren't there in-game too, but they're much less noticeable. All that being said, when Hepatica is actually doing something, it's really good! I just wish it was about half as long so it could always be doing something.
Wizball - High Score
So this starts off with weird sound effects that sort of sound like the noise of rubbing two balloons together, it's kind of annoying and didn't put me in a good mood. Thankfully at 1:00 in the song suddenly becomes reasonably competent and I'm left wondering wtf the first minute was about.
Final Fantasy VII - Hurry!
Like most of FFVII's OST, Hurry! is... at least competent. I don't think of it as being much more than that, though, especially in comparison to a lot of FFVII's music which is far beyond competent. I also feel like it's way too ambient for a song called "Hurry!" but it does work pretty well in-game so eh.
Final Fantasy Tactics - Intro Music
Sakimoto's music usually just comes off as bland to me, and this is no expection. The first few seconds are a pretty big nostalgia bomb though, so at least there's that? ...Not that I can really even factor that into a ranking.
Guitar Hero 2 - Jordan
HEY GUITARS. GUITARS YOU GUYS. At least this doesn't annoy me as much as like... Guilty Gear music generally does? Maybe because it's at least somewhat interesting most of the time even if I'm not personally a fan of it.
Rankings:
+5 Hepatica
+4 High Score
+3 Hurry!
+2 Jordan
+1 Intro Music
I will take 5 more if I have not horribly offended you already. <_<
