432: FIRE EMBLEM PREMIUM ARRANGE II - TRUTH, DESPAIR, AND HOPE:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pWyVEOtY5H8

Nominator: Hbthebattle (7/11)

Initial Score: 59.46 [#266]
Revised Score: 54.67 [#370]
Final Score: 51.42 [#432]

(First Thoughts: This is technically something Ive asked for, yes.)

Plip.

I did want more jazz songs, more VGM remixes, more songs with sax solos, and more of a focus on brass instruments.

Youd think giving me the literal definition of what I wanted would have gotten you a higher score than this, but apparently, youd be wrong.

[Final Thoughts: A vast improvement over the original and I do love that sax solo, but its still not quite there for some reason.

(Sax Counter: 3 ; forgot to include a point when I started talking about Laughter in the Rain for no reasonor more accurately hadnt started the Sax Counter until after that writeup and didnt think to go back through past writeups to see if Id already praised saxophones prior to the counter officially starting.)]

431: THE EIGHTFOLD ROAD - OLBERIC, THE WARRIOR:

https://familyjules7x.bandcamp.com/track/olberic-the-warrior

Nominator: The_Mighty_KELP (19/32)

Initial Score: 56.19 [#294]
Revised Score: 54.60 [#371]
Final Score: 51.46 [#431]

(First Thoughts: *the original First Thoughts were accidentally deleted at some point. Judging by another writeup, it seems it was something to the effect of: a good song that I dont have any connection to. Going to have this tie with The Trees Have Eyes, most likely*)

Ive decided I have the very slightly preference for Olberics theme, but its not much of one. Like the last song, it is fine and has nothing that I want to criticize, but it doesnt leave a lasting impression or anything either.

[Uhh... arbitrary pick... uhh...]

...I have absolutely nothing to say about that, but its an arbitrary pick, you have to give me that much.

[Final Thoughts: Well, obviously its no longer tied or particularly close to The Trees... Either way, this is quite a good song for the album. Its suitably heroic and epic, feeling like it belongs in a Dynasty Warriors type gamethis is very charge forward and slaughter thousands of soldiers with your GIANT SWORD type music. But once again, I find that I prefer all the other remaining songs... I wouldnt say its too epic or too battle related, but its not the type of song that lends itself to whimsical flights of fancy or anything.]
