Personal rankings: AAI1-1 > JFA > GAA > AAI1-2 > T&T > AAI2-2 > DD > AAI2-1

Some of these aren't called "Middle," but they're after Opening but before Core, so they technically apply! Well, maybe not the GAA one, but it's so good and doesn't really fit anywhere else, so I'm including it. Anyway, as much as I hate not voting for Engarde's theme, the two AAI1 songs remind me of why it just might be the best OST in the series. They're so good. This is actually a pretty solid batch overall.

i thought the 02 one was called "search - in the midst" or something like that?

I guess it's one of those things where it's hard to deduce what the actual correct translation is when there hasn't been an officially localized OST.

it never occurred to me that that was just a different translation. i feel silly now!

I like Middle 2011 and Beyond the Logic the most, gave the latter my vote.

---

Super close between AAI2 Middle and T&T Middle for me. The former sets a mood better, the latter is just a really fun melody.

I really like a lot of these. Truth at the Crime Scene from AAI2 is my favorite, but AA2 and AA3 have great themes as well.

I'm pretty sure every AA theme has like three different translations. "Happy People" or "Congratulations Everybody"?

stacked set here. depending on the criteria i'd judge on i could fully flip on almost all of this. examination's the only one i'm confident isn't my favourite, and it isn't necessarily my least favourite either

I would say "Truth is revealed" or "Reveal/revealing the truth". "Truth" is topic of the sentence, that's why I would may choose to put it in front even though the verb is active, not passive. "Announce" also works, but "reveal" is better in context.

Pretty easy JFA for me today. I've always loved that song.

2 > 3 > I-2 Truth > I Contradiction > I-2 Middle > I Middle > G > 5

Really solid batch all around. Top 3 are all really good. I kinda feel like 3 is the perfect mix of inquisitive, intensifying, and catchy. But I just love 2 way too much, even if it feels more like a character theme than an investigative theme.

5 Middle is oof. Whats happening there? I think I dont like DDs OST as much as I thought. Maybe the court music is where DD will excel.

---

they spent too much time composing athena's theme they didn't have time to do anything else good in DD

(some of the court themes are good, though!)

---

i mean athena's theme is a court theme

the most important tracks are always court themes anyway!
---

Yeah, DD has some really good dramatic songs. It's the more downplayed songs where it struggles a bit.

---

We'll let this go for another day since it's still close.

---

Up

---

I think for me its gotta be JFA middle because it's straight up Engarde but its probably not the best standalone musical piece here, but it sets the mood so well, I feel the need to vote for it anyway

Probably would vote for DD otherwise but I barely remember placing when that song appears in the game.
