Ver. 1 https://youtu.be/FQvWkL4n6ag Nominated by: hbthebattle Scores: 4 + 4 + 5 + 5 + 4 + 5 + 4 + 4 + 5 = 40 Comments: Isquen: This is one that I've heard before, but for some reason Grandia 2's soundtrack never stays in the leaky sieve that is my memory. It's... certainly a 90s JRPG battle theme. pyresword: Like this more than most RPG battle themes. Definitely feels like a song that's trying to get me hyped up and I really like the guitar. Very nice use of articulation also. haste: Iwadare! One of his better battle themes, for sure. Has those classic Iwadare "punches". bebr117: whoa, this is great! maybe the best "formulaic standard battle theme" I've heard. Fluttershy: First Listen: Why did Grandia II have such triumphant sounding battle themes anyway? And why do I want to describe this song as, quote, "a certified banger"? I think I may love this song and it's rocking out against the darkness flavor. Somehow reminds me of Transformers, I can oddly picture a montage of Autobots absolutely trashing the Decepticons to this music. [Second Listen: Awesome. Proof that truly radical battle themes do exist. Unfortunate that it wound up in a Block featuring a song I love even more, as there are very few songs I enjoy more than this one in the entire contest.] (92/100) uf8: So before anyone reads much into my 5 rating here, I do want to say that to be honest, as far as prospective grandia ii noms go, I think I might still slightly prefer Fight ver 4 (which was in the last reverse ranking) to this... (i think i definitely rated that one lower than i should've) But, I do also really like this one. It's honestly kind of stellar. 7.85/10 rwlh: [8.5] Iwadare isn't my favorite vgm composer but I've always loved this one; hell of a pull! dowolf: This is a 90's fight theme all right! Thankfully, I like 90's fight themes. Nothing extraordinary, but it features a lot of instruments used in fun and epic ways. ArkOfTurus: It's been ages since I've played Grandia 2, and I didn't remember the battle theme very well aside from vague memories of liking it, but this is doing a good job of making me want to replay it. I also don't think I've ever heard the whole song, which is a shame, because I like it more the more it goes on. 8.5/10 --- Only the exceptions can be exceptional. <cite>azuarc posted [p:984702228] in VGMC Rever...
