Weight of the World / Kowareta Sekai no Uta (110th) vs Sudden Visitor (29th)
Classroom (45th) vs Love Scope (97th)
Laguerra del Mundo [46th] vs Someday the Dream Will End [51st]

This is not the kind of Nier song that I'm used to hearing!! I'm not familiar with all of the variations of Weight of the World like... at ALL, so I can't really compare this version to the others but I like this one quite a bit!! The Drakengard/Nier infatuation with whispering underneath vocals is something that you don't really find anywhere else, or at least I seem to only associate it with vocal songs from this series lol. Just another really solid song in a very unfortunate matchup cause Sudden Visitor and Chroma know exactly what I want to hear! Heavy, heavy pounding sidechainy bass psykicks with Chroma signature smoothly sharp melody synths but played in a way thats rather atypical for Chroma is soooo gooooood the little break 1:09 to 1:19 like is this actually sound voltex??? songs in this game are allowed to be chill for just a sec???? and then the end brings back in the windows popup synths i love so much god this song is just so cool chroma please do more straight up psytrance stuff thank uoub kuro ma

Classroom is so cool!!! One of the things I'm happiest taking away from BOST5 is the Aurora Memoria soundtrack in general, and Classroom is one of my favorite songs that I was introduced to! Any time I can describe a song as "a simulation of a namiki and yack collab song" means that it is doing something totally, totally right. and then it decides to get all sonic cd for a bit at 1:16 like whoooOOOOOAA very very cool song!!! Love Scope is ALSO cool but not as cool :( I like the vocals way more than the instrumentals, which is where this song gets separated from other Caligula affair where I love love love both elements (like Cradle and [a song]_ but yeah still pretty good!! Good matches today I love all four songs here!!

Did I say four I meant I love all six songs today!! Just the ToC ones I somehow love a lot less than the main matches. I actually saw a lot more in Laguerra back in VGMC12 than I do now; it still sounds really, really cool but what used to stand out to me is just "oh really cool guitar and strings interactions nice!!" and then 2:56 happens and i :o . Looking back at the VGMC12 bracket I realize I... would not have voted for it in any of the matches it played nowadays lol (pretty sure I voted for it against neo kobe and maybe true hero?? and also maybe besaid FINAL FANTASY X a fleeting dream will someday end is pretty cool! Far from my favorite the game has to offer.... like, super SUPER far from it but I love the background whoosh-like sounds that start at 0:25 and persist but the songs just a little too slow for me to just listen to and like most of the time. suteki da ne motif usage very good. idk man somehow i'm feeling laguerra a little bit more today, normally i think i would actually vote against my rankings here? huh. well, guess this is where we're at
