Srsly guys? You missed the most obvious choice?
Ah well. Whatcha gonna do.
Nomination: Chrono Cross (PSX)
1) Arni Village (Home World):
2) Fragment of a Dream:
3) Dream of the Shore Bordering Another World (World Map Theme #2):
4) The Dream that Time Dreams:
5) Magical Dreamers: The Wind, Stars and Waves:
6) Scars of Time:
Boss Theme: Dragon God ~ Battle Against Dragon God:
Would have done Radical Dreamers, Unstolen Jewel for Round 2 but I know people are stupidly anti-vocals here and I want to see one of the most powerful forces this contest could have get the tracks it can likely use to crush the competition. I also considered Prisoners of Fate, which I consider to be an absolutely heartbreaking theme, but I feel like it might depress voters too much to vote for it; Finally, the two remaining choices for the basic lineup were Fields of Time and Frozen Flame, but hell if I know where we could slot those two, awesome as they are. Similarly, FATE, God of Destiny (Battle with Fate) was a potential boss theme choice but the Time Devourer (Dragon) theme is probably better for the tiebreakers. Was also tempted to put Gale in for the first slot but I know people hate it (beats me why) so I decided against it. Opinions on this roster?
Also, if we go to seven rounds, stick Dragon God on Round 2. Scars of Time and Magical Dreamers should remain the final themes.
PS: Note to myself for later or anyone else interested in sparing a nom: Nominate Hard Corps, Streets of Rage Remake (if allowed), Sonic 3 & Knuckles (if allowed, otherwise just S&K), Ristar, FF8, Valkyrie Profile, Guilty Gear 1 or Accent Core Plus with the extra box. Time to give some lesser known soundtracks the exposure they deserve!
PPS: Holy crap, I just realized I won't be able to miss a single day of this to slot everything in, and I'll have to get people to do some of these for me. Now this is a contest I can sink my teeth into! :D
PPPS: Ohhhhhhhh, right. Question: If Umineko is allowed, I presume Homestuck is too? It has actual game portions, so in theory it should count, but it's worth checking.
