Okay guys, we might as well call the contest now. I just discovered this track:

Sorry, folks. It's over. I'm not even bothering with nominations.

Better than at least one VGMC champion.

(this actually isn't so bad)

Edit: Like on a 10 point scale, this is definitely north of 5. Like probably a 6, at least. Maybe even a 7.

I think I'm going to take an hour or so to figure out what songs I'd like to nominate this year. Help me pick in Discord.

(To be fair, I'm only going to nominate one song initially, and watch the field from there, but I'm going to make a youtube playlist and post that for anyone to use as suggestions, knowing I'll likely support them.)

Nope. Those are the things I know about ahead of time. I'm not actually going to nominate anything out of the gate. (Well, one track, because reasons.) After that I'm going to listen to everyone else's offerings. I'm just pointing out that these are songs I'm likely to support.

NFUN posted...

I mostly limited myself to putting one song per game on the list. I would certainly consider either version of 5-3. Not so crazy about 5-2.

Sorry, it just popped into my head the other day. Outside of SPHILIA, it's basically the only AT song I've ever paid a scrap of attention to.

I don't mean to dissaude you from nominating it! In fact, there's a good chance I end up coming along if you do nom it.

It's just the time I got it in, IIRC it got blown out in R1 by a song I didn't think highly of. I kinda doubt receptions to it have improved significantly since then... but this was VGMC7 or 8 (wanna say 7 but too lazy), IIRC so maybe I guess?

Actually, azuarc, if you're still here I want to revisit something.

Hikari -Ray of Hope Mix- from KH2.8. Before I said I thought it wouldn't be allowed but looking at the total stats spreadsheet led me to discover that actually the PLANITb remix of Simple and Clean was in VGMC1 (Simple and Clean and Hikari are the English and Japanese versions of the song, respectively, in case you didn't know). Now, because it was VGMC1 I can get if the ruling changed later... but... I dunno does that mean it is allowed?

also i feel like i'm gonna end up dumping a bunch of paranoia notes regarding eligibility on you when noms come. so sorry for that. >_>

Dude, you had like a month to do that.

I didn't really have a nom list until early this morning/late last night!

But sure:

1 song which is a case of dynamic music, with a faster pace/change for battles. Link would have the OST version which includes transitioning in and out of the battle version. As said, in-game it's dynamic and automatically shifts in or out depending on if you're in combat.

1 song is the full version of a game's opening theme. Traditionally this has been allowed but given the previous discussion?

2 similarly are full versions of ending themes. Again, traditionally allowed, but...

oh okay that wasn't as bad as i thought

oh and one will be an extended version of a link because all the non-extended versions i can find are a remix version and not the in-game one. sorry.

Edit: If it matters, finding a link for the short version of the opening theme song wouldn't be hard. The two ending ones might prove a bit more difficult but I haven't looked (yet)

Assuming an in-game version can be used without any logistical issues, I am going to request the use of the in-game version.

Common examples of logistical issues include: dynamic blending and/or lack of definitive in-game playback, unavoidable presence of sound effects in-game (e.g. plays during a cutscene), or unable to find a clean video of the in-game version.

I don't know what the deal is here, and I don't have a great desire to thoroughly research the KH series and figure it out, but personally I think you're throwing your nomination away.

Looks like officially, 16 of my 20 nominations are safely in, with one more on the bubble.

Adding on those that I supported at one point and pulled away from because they were already safe and things that I considered supporting before realizing that they didn't need my help, and it's 19 and 2 at the very least...no, sorry, 20 and 2. Probably even higher, and that's explicitly not including RftMIS because I never even have to consider using one of my own nominations on it; it just gets in.
