Laguerra del Mundo
Preserved Valkyria Man, there are a lot of songs I love that made those semis. Over half of those songs were ones I was really on board with at the time, and distinctly still am now. In the case of two of them, I like 3/4. Anyway, matches. Both of the semifinalists in the main bracket here have an interesting common thread to me. I both had them lose in my favourites bracket to songs I only took to round 3. In the case of the former, it was due to it immediately facing one of my top favourites, Besaid Island, which I narrowly picked Deadman Falling over, which I also picked Mystic Pendulum over, which I took Sayonara over. On the other hand, I took Sunshine Coastline to R2, where it faced Life Will Change. It's a kind of funny situation there, in that I took LWC over it since I felt it exposed weaknesses in SC, being a little bit repetitive among other things. I then took Drifting Souls over it by principle of it being the kind of vocal song I liked more than a Persona song, and I took Fight Between the Wind and the Blinking Sky comfortably over it for its superior orchestration, also taking that to the semis. Despite that, I otherwise considered SC a song on par with that Zestiria song and also Flash Frost. Long story short, while I only took it that far, I largely did it because I felt the match it had did not suit it well more than anything. So you'd expect me to probably take Sunshine Coastline here. But nope. Laguerra pretty easily, yet again. The first quarter of the bracket was stacked with songs in my overall favourites in the contest, as I've thoroughly covered already. Besaid Island was very likely in my top 10. Neo Kobe City was around my top 20 songs, and I also wanted to support it in the stead of the aforementioned Daddy Mulk. Deadman Falling was also skirting around the top 10 (maybe a little outside it now), and I was keen to see Nekomata Master songs continue to perform well. Mystic Pendulum was easily within my top 5 (maybe top 3 or 2), and there were a handful of others up near it in that corner too. Sunshine Coastline is certainly up there as far as personally unfavourable draws go, but Laguerra del Mundo was in my personal hell division. Granted, even I thought I'd be taking SC here, but I'm not surprised that it turned out like this. As for the side bracket, it was nearly a similar situation. Xeus I only took to R2, where I had it almost arbitrarily job to She Wants Me Dead, before having that in turn almost arbitrarily job to Melodies of Life. Preserved Valkyria meanwhile got a mighty 8pack, and while I did take it out of there, it was a very tough call between it and Innocence and Emptiness. Definitely my second favourite song that lost in R1 in that side bracket right there after ... Copied to Clipboard!

Side note, Despair of ELFERIA vs Ricordando il Passato is what I did go with for the poll. It didn't even go according to my favourites bracket (I wanted The Final Song), but those are nonetheless two of my all-time favourite retirees without a shadow of a doubt, Ricordando

Laguerra del Mundo
Xeus -I've been pretty lukewarm on Laguerra and Sunshine Coastline throughout the contest so this is basically a toss-up-- both tracks have aspects I like (Laguerra's electronic drums and some cool rhythmic stuff that pops up here and there, and the bass that shows up after the piano; Sunshine Coastline's overall high-spirited tone, including a cheerful piano line which I can't help but like) and aspects I don't (a lot of the guitar parts in Laguerra don't feel interesting, and the solo piano melody doesn't grab me either; there are large swaths of Sunshine Coastline where the arrangement of the melody is really dull-- this is something I feel about a lot of Falcom tracks; neither uses its string patches to good effect). Ended up leaning just a bit towards Laguerra this time. -I like Xeus a little more than I remember, and Valkyria a little less. I feel like a week ago I would have voted the other way on this. ...
