Haste_2 08/29/20 7:24:10 PM #363:	94) Wild ARMs 5 - At the Frozen Depths of the Heart Series rank: 2 of 3 https://youtu.be/ipCa-V-eVhU Composer: Noriyasu Agematsu Score: 8.4/10 (Excellent) VGMC History: VGMC 2 (Lost R5 to Beware the Forest's Mushrooms) Favorite Part: 0:00 - 2:34 Nice combination of various bell-like instruments. Nice semi-tonal cluster chords. Even the piano has some of the bell-like quality, the way it reverberates like water crystals, plus it provides some GREAT 4/4 ideas on top of the meter. Also, the piano descent at 0:57!! Sounds a bit like Ravel. Moving on, this track is so mystical and magical. The added primitive solo voice only makes it feel even more that way. There are some interesting tonal choices at 2:24 before the forte section begins. It turns into more of an epic theme carried by the piano and violins! Some of the mystique is still there, though, so thats good! Sounds a little bit Scherzo-like at 4:38? As a whole I guess theres not much else amazing that I must specifically mention, but overall its very good. Well, the piano reverb stuff is still going on consistently, so thats a big positive!! I really like when it gets soft again at 3:36...nice choirs there, and likewise, when the solo girl voice comes back near the loops end, in kind of a dissonant way. 93) Final Fantasy X - Seymour Battle Series rank: 5 of 7 ELIMINATED: VGMC 6 https://youtu.be/dWE0nlhpdq8 Composer: Nobuo Uematsu Score: 8.4/10 (Excellent) VGMC History: VGMC 2 (Lost R1), VGMC 3 (Lost R2), VGMC 4 (Lost R1), VGMC 6 (Lost R5 to Dorchadas) Favorite Part: https://youtu.be/dWE0nlhpdq8?t=142 Aw yeah, cool electro synth flourishes at the start, and throughout! Its got some fun interactions between like three synths. Then when you hear the choir come in to introduce the theme, you know that things are getting serious, and the cluster chords are great! Love that wild man organ playing! Then finally, the epicness is dialed up some more at 1:15! Its truly among the Uematsu classic melodies. Wish this part had more support in the background, but at least you got the cool electro rhythmic octave patterns in there. The synth duet continues the theme at 1:43, but what I really like about it is the cool harmonic switch-up at about 2:01 ! Good way to move things forward! Shortly after at 2:22, we got some SWEET organ rhythmic stuff 2/4+(3/8+3/8+2/4+2/4), with the parenthesis part repeating. And then it gets put under a melody in 4/4! YEESSSS!!! Overall, I think its one of the better boss themes in the Final Fantasy series. --- "Ah, a party! We haven't had one of those. It could be fun! So... what is a party?"
