Welcome to another round of the Best OST Contest, where we decide the best game soundtrack by voting on the songs in it.
Match Rules: * You must listen to both songs in the match. Use the provided links. * You must vote on the songs in the match. Not the game's overall music. Not how much you like the game itself. ***VOTE ON THE SONGS*** * To help enforce rule 2, All votes must be given for the song title, not the game or the seed number. No exceptions.
Other details: * The match will last 24 hours from the time this thread is posted. Regardless of when the next day's topic goes up, or when the current topic actually gets counted and closed, votes count up to 24.0 hours after the match's beginning. * Normal contest rules apply regarding alts, rallying, multi-voting, etc. * No mid-thread tallies, or comments related to a vote count. It can influence the voters. Regardless of how excited you may be, please let things evolve naturally. * If there are two matches, you do not have to vote for both. If you want to change your vote, please identify that it is a change to your vote. Do not erase the old vote. * Advanced voting is allowed. Contact me with your vote by PM. Check the spreadsheet for the appropriate songs to listen to: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AoS8GGHS9FDGdFprRGpQa3ZtRGcwTTM5VTQ2SWViUGc&hl=en_US * Re-read the third rule. Votes naming only the game will not be counted.
The spirit of this contest is a bit different from what you might be used to in a contest. Upsets are expected. The tournament will be double elimination, so if your favorite game loses here, it isn't done. You can see the rest of the rules on the contest or figure out how the heck we got to where we are here: http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/8-gamefaqs-contests/60522913
Previous results: a. Sadly, neither of yesterday's matches were especially close. Battle 2 jumped out in front and never looked back. Dance of Abundance never had a prayer. Lufia 2 advances, 29-11. b. Nearly as impressively was Golden Nocturne's performance over Bubble Man. Perhaps moreso since it was up against Mega Man 2, which barely avoided a doubling. Nonetheless, Umineko Chiru advances, 27-14.
I'm hoping today's matches are a bit more exciting.

Magical Dreamers appealed to me more, but I like Main Theme (US) a lot too. That was another pretty close one, Magical Dreamers only barely edged out. Flight and Neverending Journey was also close, but I am unsure of what to think about that guitar coming out of nowhere. It's a cool section, just not what I really expected or perhaps even wanted after what came before it. I still like it, but Flight wins out.

You laugh at my Celtic Guardian, until I use my Scapegoat, and then United We Stand, Mage Power, and 3 Axe Of Despairs, with Gaia Power out. 11900/7800
Main Theme is the worst song of the day. It's not that it's *bad*, but it cuts off rather abruptly. Really feels like it could have used an extra minute or so to build up to a real conclusion.

The first match was really close, but as much as I hate Chrono Cross OST's overratedness, Magical Dreamers was a quite decent contender for DFO. It was still very hard to vote for Dreamers, though.
On the other hand, I think Flight is literally miles ahead of Neverending Journey. I don't know what's with you people.
