#190: Trails in the Sky - To be Suggestive

A battle theme and not a very serious one, fitting for a comic relief midboss or something where the developers don't want to use the normal battle theme or a dramatic boss theme.

theme of flying felines that fuck your shit up. traumatizing

Dost thou desire the bongo? The original being cute is what shielded it from being overpowered by its obnoxiousness. This doesn't have that Aegis, although it's a little less annoying so it balanced a bit

#189: Trails in the Sky - Royal Capital of Grancel

A peaceful town theme that develops nicely as it goes on. The original is quite charming and I feel bad for giving it a 3, but the remake has a much more complete sound, especially those magical strings that you might hear in a Disney or Ghibli movie!

This track is creepy, but off-key notes are not exactly what I like to listen to outside-of-game context. What saves this is the higher notes coming in at the end. The Evo version kinda dampens this for me, too.

gnosis good hb and tgs bad

This sounds like it wants to be a techno song. A little repetitive at first and the more melodic part doesn't really do anything for me. Kinda like the rhythms at least.

The added part after the weedly bit is probably my favorite part here. The first half doesn't have the same interesting rhythms and that's a blow though.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Well, it's a good thing I'm not judging these by how well I think they fit in game, because both versions of this song feel like they're lost and from something else entirely. The Original, inexplicably, makes me think of "Worker & Parasite" from that one episode of The Simpsons. It's like it's from some bizarre, experimental..thing. And the Evo Version is very action packed and cybernetic. Anyone remember the PSX game Silent Bomber? No, no you do not. But the Evo Version feels like it should be in that game--I can easily picture an action hero running through a Matrix like virtual reality, blowing up helicopters to this song. ...In an attempt to be on-topic for a moment: The original is a bit too harsh for me. Evo Version is fine, but could stand to be even more futuristic.

i always forget that this song exists. it plays once for a not especially memorable scene and it's not good enough to survive under those conditions

#186: Zero no Kiseki - New Days
azuarc: 5.8/6.1
Mycro: 5.033/5.037

OG rating is purely for New Days, ending at 2:32. Original feels like a AHIT track for the time warp levels, while Evo is trying too hard to be a softcore version of an intro theme. Both have their pluses and minuses, but I feel like the sound is just a smidge better in the evo. The instruments just hold together more cohesively.
-------------------------------------------------------------
i would have said i like the original more but the out of tune violin and some other production screwiness bothers me just slightly enough to prefer evo's. evo's just focuses on more appetizing elements and has more attractive mixing to me, but i like the "90s-ness" of the original at first it sounds likecredits music

#185: Ao no Kiseki - Traces of D

ok I had to relisten to this to pin down a rating and I think it grew on me a good bit nice. Has a very thoroughly eerie vibe.

Huh, this has a much different feel. The percussion and guitar makes it seem a lot more dramatic, which has its own appeal.

This sounds like standard loyalty free piano stuff I would hear in flash games.
