Now that VGMC 17 is over, I have finalized my rankings of the 16 retirees.
Countdown of the Rankings + Pokemon Types (because why not?) Part 1!:

16. beatmania IIDX 20 tricoro/jubeat saucer | Rainbow after snow -- I like the beat but I feel like overall this just isn't really my thing. Didn't care for it originally, don't care for it now. More power to you if you like it though!
(ice/fire)

15. Deemo II -- Un Deux Trois -- I do apologize for being too hard on this song and ranting about it winning. That being said, I just can't quite get used to the vocals. I *want* to really enjoy this song but it's hard to. I'm glad it's a major key song that actually made it super far though! (psychic/water)

14. Final Fantasy XIII - Music: The Sunleth Waterscape + Lyrics - Not a fan of the singing or the melody, but I really like the instrumentation here. (fire/water)

13. The Liar Princess and the Blind Prince | Moonlight Concert -- I did not like this song much originally but it has grown on me quite a bit. Still not a big fan of the vocals, but I love the waltz-y feel to it and the instrumentation. And omg that flute :heart: (I'm a flutist so I approve) (dark/fairy)

12. (Piano Version) -- I really like the clapping in the background. Usually I like bagpipes, but this doesn't quite cut it for me. The melody itself is great though. (flying)

11. Destiny Child | Ragna Breakers -- Marioooo Kart 8!!! This is pretty cool. It kept beating songs I liked better than it (Lost Forest, Crystal Caves) but it still is on my favorite discovery list so I can't complain that much. (normal/fighting)

10. Cleopatra Fortune | SHININ' QUEEN -- The voice at the beginning is a bit off-putting but basically everything else about this song slaps pretty hard. (fairy/ground)

9. Sonic R | Back in Time -- While I am satisfied with this as the winner, I do feel the other Sonic R retiree was better; its melody was more catchy. This is still pretty cool. Head cannon is that this song would be a time traveler if it were a person! (psychic)
