Looks like I can give up on listening to all of everyone else's noms lol

This is one of the big things I was worried about seeing from a lot of people ^^;; Is it the increase in amount in general or if there was a longer time period submissions were open would you be more likely to listen to more noms?

I assume that stuff like GTA's radio still isn't eligible?

Yeah, our stance on licensed stuff is more than likely not going to change much, if at all, from previous years.

For example, I am, and have been for years, convinced that the in-game CLASS::XIO_PROCEED is subtly different from the OST version and that it's most obvious at the very start. I actually like the in-game one a fair deal more, but finding that actual version with a link I think is VGMC-friendly (no spoilers, not a let's play, etc.)? i've failed each time i made an attempt.

i... actually almost did this in BOST to try and convince the ar nosurge submitter to use the in-game version cause i love the intro of the main part too LOL (but i also love the ost intro/separate game intro part too so hnnnng) but yeah I do have it and if you were in need of a yt link I can definitely provide ^^

Funny you mentioned EXA_PICO Hymmnos Concert CDs cause songs like Sen or Homura or like... the extra songs for Ciel nosurge's soundtrack were other examples we were explicitly thinking about being open and how we would differentiate them from other EXA_PICO side material stuff. In the case of those, or Ar nosurge's Tentoki/Tokikagura, etc., they're very clearly named and marked as being for games. While in the case of like... METHOD_HYMME_GRANZERO=SPEAR/., the album that's on doesn't have any specific branding that connects it to a game. Golden Sneer ~A Lovely Dinner~ or the other arranges on the Umineko no Naku Koro ni single are kinda funky cause... the album is the games name, but it's obviously meant to be named after the song, and nothing really links it to the game besides being remixes that don't appear in game. There may be some gray areas that come up, but to me most cases I can think of are pretty black and white scenarios. If I'm putting too much faith into my own beliefs on this.... then so be it.

On the topic of KH 358/2 actually, that's pretty much the same situation as Mega Man Zero that I mentioned to FL81 earlier. I think the difference we have here is that you see it as a redone soundtrack as you said, while I see it as the original tracks, that were then put into a lower quality due to system constraints. So if the original soundtrack uses those pre-compression versions, then that's what is intended to be listened to without actually deviating from what the game's version sounds like too much. I'm not actually familiar with 358/2 that much though so I might be misinterpreting what you're saying (and massive apologies if I am OTL) but that's a good way to highlight what I meant with the earlier post kinda.

I hope this doesn't come across as condescending I'm trying to be reassuring that we've thought of the leftover gray areas but I don't know if it worked at all LOL
