| Haste_2 07/14/20 12:02:36 AM #314: | 96) Grandia II - FIGHT!! Ver. 4 ~ The Final Battle https://youtu.be/p29MCpipZTI Composer: Noriyuki Iwadare Score: 8.1/10 (Excellent) VGMC History: VGMC 3 (Lost R1), VGMC 4 (Lost R5 to Johanthan Taylor Thomas) Favorite Part: https://youtu.be/p29MCpipZTI?t=106 Sounds like the Iwadare we all know and love. Tries pretty hard to be epic and fun, but it comes off kind of cheesy. Ill be the first to admit Iwadare isnt a top tier composer. Yet I still manage to enjoy this one a lot... everything kinda clicks with this one. It's intense, but not too dark. The beginning is not particularly original, but those synths REALLY drive the energy as it moves into the main material...simply great! Piano gliss is cheesy! They keep used throughout the piece, yay. Sometimes they get used rhythmically, other times as melody. I like the fragmented use of so many different instruments, it moves from piano to timpani to bells to those synths. It keeps things fresh. I love that exchange between the synth/violins and the off-beat orchestral hits at 0:56, even if its a bit cheesy! (But in a fun way.) 1:09 provides some cool contrasting material. 1:34 is SO much like battle themes in the Lunar games (I like the way the synth line gets finished by the percussion). 1:46 wraps it up nicely the bass there is GROOVY. --- Congrats to azuarc for winning the Guru challenge! ...
