Well azuarc's Best Chrono Trigger Song contest is almost over (you can still vote!! over there: http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/8-gamefaqs-contests/62873493) And since Chrono Trigger got a sequel, the contest deserves a sequel too. And what do you know, Chrono Cross has an amazing soundtrack too!
After removing bad fodder, I was left with 60 songs, which means the four #1 seeds get to Round 2 automatically.
Rules and stuff - Voting will last for approx. 24 hours - Don't vote more than once, rally, stuff like that - Try to listen to more than the first 30 seconds of a song before making your choice... some of them only get great after a minute or so!
Today's Matches:
(1)Scars of Time -> Goes straight ro Round 2
(8)Hydra's Swamp
vs. (9)Island of the Earth Dragon
(5)Fortress of Ancient Dragons
vs. (12)Magical Dreamers ~ The Wind, Stars, and Waves ~
(4)Dragon God
vs. (13)Death Volcano

(1)Scars of Time ;p (9)Island of the Earth Dragon (12)Magical Dreamers ~ The Wind, Stars, and Waves ~.... why is MD a 12-seed? GREAT match here. I hate to see either of them lose, meanwihle one of the two pieces above goes on. (4)Dragon God

Magical Dreamers a 12 seed. ha. Somebody's going to get upset over that.
This will be interesting to me since I don't really know the CC soundtrack all that well. I know the ones that have been retired, plus Life which I loved from Best OST and I hope does well in VGMC6. However, it also means that I'm going to have to listen to every single song.
9 12 4
Not sold on either song in the third match at all. Magical Dreamers should roll either one, and obviously Scars will roll the winner of the first match.
(9)Island of the Earth Dragon (5)Fortress of Ancient Dragons (13)Death Volcano
Waaah these choices are agonizing already! Earth Dragon Isle barely over Hydra. Ancient Dragon just a bit over Magical Dreamers. Death Volcano is actually an easy choice - very underrated track with just superb construction. 1:54 - 2:40, astounding.

eeh... I thought that some people might be upset at Magical Dreamers being a #12 seed... well, maybe everybody will be upset.. except me, because I hate that song. The electric guitar ruins it for me. But oh well, if it deserves to move on it'll move on
(8)Hydra's Swamp (5)Fortress of Ancient Dragons (4)Dragon God

(9)Island of the Earth Dragon - both are decent but not all that great. (12)Magical Dreamers ~ The Wind, Stars, and Waves ~ - most underseeded song ever? (13)Death Volcano - Not a big fan of Dragon God actually.

Chrono Cross has an even better sound track than CT imo. Not even remotely close and possibly my favorite video game sound track period.
If People Imprisoned by Destiny isn't a 1 seed though, imma be disappoint.
Annnyways, the votes...
Island of the Earth Dragon - The other song, swamp, makes me feel more nostalgic, but that's almost all it has going for it. This song takes me back into that part of the game better.
Fortress of Ancient Dragons - Augh tough match. To be honest there is a part in the middle of Fortress where it gets a bit muddled. Right around when the organ kicks in I think. But the introductory sequence of this song is just amazing and fits Fort Dragonia perfectly. Meanwhile Magical Dreamers is a really exciting song pretty much the whole way through, though it becomes a bit of a cacophony at moments.
Dragon God - Didn't even need to pull these two up. Volcano is an "adequate" song, but Dragon God is an amazing song for a great fight.
Scars of Time (too awesome to not vote for, eve when it isn't in a match :P) Hydra's Swamp (both are pretty meh) Magical Dreamers (easy match) Death Volcano (Not really feeling it with Dragon God)
