31. Swimming in an Empty Sky
Game: Murasaki Tsurugi
Score: 52/100
Nominator: UF8
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qJ4M0OHrcqY" data-time="

Things I Liked: That it was once uploaded to YouTube
Things I Disliked: That it is no longer uploaded to YouTube

This will be a special ranking. The video has been made unavailable since I listened to it while making the original list, and I cant find it even with the name and game, so I cant listen to it for second impressions as I write this. So uh, heres my first impressions notes:
The song only even really becomes a song at 0:48. I like the violin or whatever the stringed instrument is, but the weird drums in the background, I don't know. I like the Italian-esque strings and horns in the background. Overall, this is a little too laidback for my tastes, it feels like something you'd hear in a restaurant.

Truly, I think we can all agree with this.

30. Cyrus, the Scholar
Game: Octopath Traveler
Score: 54/100
Nominator: Zigzagoon
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_eJ7AmK46Oc" data-time="

Things I Liked: Piano and violin
Things I Disliked: Nothing, really

Please tell me that Im not the only person reminded of Pirates of the Caribbean by this. Right? I know that cant be their goal because this is the song of a scholar (I assume, at least by the title), but come on. Especially the opening, it sounds right out of PotC.

I like the downturn at 0:56, I like the piano that briefly starts just after that, I like the winding of the music, and I like the violin at 1:35. Overall, a solid JRPG song, though I would never, ever guess its for a scholar.

Remarkably, this song sounds like a credits theme or something to that effect, but it is actually the theme of the game's unlockable endless mode. (again, by the way, it's a shmup)

29. That Persons Name Is
Game: Bravely Default
Score: 55/100
Nominator: Raka_Putra
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sk-9ihcy2R8" data-time="

Things I Liked: The overall melody and energy
Things I Disliked: The guitar riffs

I never understood the love for this song. Its good, its really solid, but its not crazy good. Part of my objection to it is that the violins really work, but I dont like the guitar riffs. I realize that guitars and violins were invented at about the same time, but guitars just seem so much more modern. The semi-medieval world of BD needs music that just feels like it predates guitars, is all. Not to imply that the guitar playing is bad or anything, but it feels out of place. A different instrument would have worked better for me.

The song itself does hit all of the right JRPG beats, though, especially the main recurring violin string. I dont know the word for it, but an example is at 0:12.

Oh yeah another thing about it that I somehow didn't even realise myself. It's an extremely loose improv medley of the boss themes in it. Or at least it is according to the composer.

Upon checking, I was able to identify one of them at least, and I could barely parse out elements of a second. Probably not really worth taking to heart too much as they're really only oddly specific singular elements of each barely incorporated into it, but it's still neat.

31. Swimming in an Empty Sky Real Ranking
Game: Murasaki Tsurugi
Score: 52/100
Nominator: UF8
https://picosong.com/whtaW
Things I Liked: That it was once uploaded to YouTube
Things I Disliked: That it is no longer uploaded to YouTube

I get a real Italian-esque vibe from this, Im not sure why. I cant even define what Italian-inspired music should sound like. The song really kicks into gear at 0:46, before then is just a very long buildup. The stringed instruments are solid, as are the chimes that occasionally kick in, but Im not a huge saxophone buff. Were also almost three minutes in before the song reveals that it has a piano involved!

Overall, the song is okay, but its too laidback for my tastes. I like a little more energy and activity.

Yeah i wasn't trying to, it was just something I just found out about. I'm pleasantly surprised it did this well to begin with, its slow pace made it a hard sell next to my other two and the main reason I gave it a shot was because nfun semi-vouched for it in vgmc noms.

28. UNIVERSAL COLLAPSE
Game: Terraria Calamity
Score: 55/100
Nominator: NFUN
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=opvuEVpl_PM" data-time="

Things I Liked: The energy of the song
Things I Disliked: Nothing, really

This is the lowest ranking of the Terraria songs for me. I have basically the same thing to say about all of them, so wait for the higher ones for me to go into detail about what I think of them. But just so I wont keep you completely in suspense, I finished The Messenger like two weeks ago, and this really reminds me of the music for the first half of the game.

27. Make Desperate Efforts
Game: Tokyo Xanadu
Score: 56/100
Nominator: Janus5k
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EO3_-f7RQ3Q" data-time="

Things I Liked: The first 13 seconds of buildup
Things I Disliked: Slowing down at 2:35

At 0:27, Im briefly reminded of MGS1s main theme, the one they had to stop using because they got sued. Anyway, Im not a big anime-style music buff, so Im probably not the correct guy to analyze what makes this work. At 1:17, it gets more heroic, I like that tune. I mean, yeah, this gets me in the mood for a sci-fi adventure, so good work there.

Actually, the weirdest thing I have to say about this is my original notes from listening to it the first time:
This would be a great anime opening theme if you got a 17 year-old girl to sing lyrics about destiny and friendship over.

Man, I dont know what I was thinking, this wouldnt work with a screechy idol girl at all.

Fair point, it would be interesting to listen to a version of this song with another instrument in place of the guitar.

26. The Other Promise/Vector to the Heavens
Game: Kingdom Hearts 3
Score: 56/100
Nominator: tazzyboyishere
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k6TD59vb01E" data-time="

Things I Liked: Guys in the background chanting OOOHHHH
Things I Disliked: Nothing

Ive only played KH1 and 2, assuming that CoM would be a gaiden spinoff with no real importance. Boy oh boy. Incidentally, this video was also deleted by YouTube, but it was much easier to track down another link for it.

Anyway, I like the piano, the horns, and the barely audible guys in the background going OOOOHHHHH, thats my kind of jam. But at 1:38, it takes a more serious turn. It reminds me actually of a dark 80s kid movie, the type they dont make anymore. What was that movie about the kid who falls into a sewer and explores a fantasy world of kangaroo ninjas? That was like the last one of that type of movie.

Anyway, solid song.

Theres basically nothing I can say about this song. Its just a guy with a deep voice saying the same two things over and over again. I would say that this is as good as you can possibly take that concept.

Nominator: cakophon

Things I Liked: The classical string instruments
Things I Disliked: Repetitiveness

The most JRPG music of all time. Theres something about this that screams I have a turn-based combat system. Having just finished playing Persona 4 yesterday, Im a little burned out on JRPGs for the moment. As for the actual song, it provides a sense of excitement, energy, and hostility, so its everything you need in a battle song for this genre. I like it pretty well.

23. Servants of the Scourge
Game: Terraria Calamity

Nominator: NFUN
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dt30jWRMjLk" data-time="

Things I Liked: Part that slows down at around 1:00
Things I Disliked: The synthesized horns

This is the second of three Terraria songs in this list, but really, all of them are solid. I really like the gongs and the WOWEWEWEWEWEWP video game noises at the beginning. I become less into this when it turns into a synthesized horn for a while, but it returns to the gongs eventually anyway, so I can forgive that. I feel the epic flightiness of this song. It gets me pumped to battle a world-devouring monster or something, *possibly* with the power of friendship behind me. This was also the song that made me realize that you can basically just throw drums into the background of anything and theyll fit perfectly.

Things I Liked: The ending
Things I Disliked: The first 20 seconds

The main portion of this song is at an unpleasant pitch, but the sound itself is otherwise fine. I like the strings that kick in at 0:20 and the keyboard sound at 0:39, and the instrument at 0:58. As you go along, the song increases in complexity, and each change makes the song itself better. Too bad it didnt start at the end, where its best, but even as it is, its still solid.

21. Scala Ad Caelum
Game: Kingdom Hearts 3
Score: 58/100
Nominator: Pirateking2000
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=70zsjk99LGw" data-time="

Things I Liked: Solid orchestra music
Things I Disliked: Reminds me of Kingdom Hearts

This is fairly unremarkable epic orchestra music, so I hope no one minds if I take this opportunity to complain about Kingdom Hearts. Every Disney and Final Fantasy world is its own planet, a kid goes adventuring between planets is the simplest premise in the world to make a good series out of it. Just have the main character be some wannabe engineer kid who discovers or makes a spaceship and blasts off and gets wrapped up fighting an evil wizard who wants to blow up the galaxy. Right? Wrong. Instead it involves time travel, clones, digital clones, wizards who track you because you have an X on your clothes, undeniable proof that we totally owned you lamers, and clones of discarded vessels of parts of hearts in a digital world. Its mind-boggling how convoluted and silly this series lore became. The only thing that even approaches it is MGS, but I feel with MGS that Hideo Kojima knows what hes doing and has a point to make by making everything so ridiculous, whereas with KH it feels more like they had to keep making spinoffs but wanted every single one to be important to the storyline, but couldnt advance things significantly until it was time for KH3.

But even then, I do respect that KH sort of has a vision and sticks to it. Its incredible that someone said Lets make a big budget open world photorealistic video game version of Pirates of the Caribbean 3 that explains nothing and makes no sense unless youve already watched the movie, and then got it approved. KHs vision is terrible, but never compromises with it, and in that way I sort of like it.

Score: 58/100
Nominator: GavsEvans123
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BiFKR0kY-hU" data-time="

Things I Liked: Japanese-y wooden pipe thing
Things I Disliked: Nothing

Its strange how I can tell this is Pokemon music even without looking at the title. Pokemon music has this really distinct feeling to it that I guess Im just instinctively used to after having played a million hours of it. I like how this combines a whistling flute melody with very video game-y DO DO DO WO WO DO sounds. The beating of the wooden pipe thing in the background is also very Japanese. The only problem is that this sounds like exploration or travel music to me, not battle music.

Things I Disliked: Nothing, really

Theres this vaguely western genre sensation throughout the song that I find interesting. I cant pinpoint what gives me the impression, though, because its clearly got nothing to do with westerns. Its mixed in with synthy traditional video game music, too. Overall, I like this song, but I dont have a lot to say about it.

And with this, Raka is out. Sorry!

This sounds like normal domestic life music, something youd hear in the opening bit of a JRPG before your village is destroyed. I was kind of surprised to look over and see it was from The Sims.

Theres not a lot of material here for me to work with. This sound has some generally nice piano usage, but beyond that it is unremarkable.

Game: Touhou 05
Score: 59/100
Nominator: Shonen_Bat
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vCyyRzdDmLU" data-time="

Things I Liked: The jingling sound in the background starting at 0:07, the sound that starts at 1:19
Things I Disliked: Failure to feel very Alice in Wonderland-y

Touhou is a shmup, right? Ive never touched the series, I just know it as the series with girls who wear large hats who ruin Most Powerful Fictional Character contests.

Anyway, I like this song. Its adventurous and magical and all of that, everything it needs to be. I have one niggle with it, though: its not very fantastical and nonsensical, which is what an Alice in Wonderland song needs to be. I have no idea what the context of the song is, but assuming it involves Alice in Wonderland, being silly and insane is a necessity, and this song doesnt achieve that. That said, however, its still a solid song on its own.

16. Beach
Game: Plok
Score: 60/100
Nominator: GameBopAdv

Things I Liked: Piano bashing throughout
Things I Disliked: Nothing

Ah, the SNES. There were so many weird platformer mascot characters on you, and Plok was one of them.

This song has a tangible Earthbound feeling to it, but its slightly too active. I could see a slowed-down version playing as you explore some wacky city and get attacked by a crazy human the game spent one second explaining was possessed by Giygas or something.

Luckily for Plok, I like Earthbounds music.

GameBopAdv killed.

Things I Liked: Slow opening, energy
Things I Disliked: Kind of tonally inconsistent

Call me a poor fan, but the only Pokemon spinoffs Ive played are Pokemon Snap and the first Coliseum. Based on this song, I am forced to assume that Pokemon Mystery Dungeon takes place entirely in Australia. I sure as hell didnt expect thirty-two solid seconds of didgeridoos. It then goes for a western vibe for a while? I like the energy this song has, I can easily imagine it playing as I explore an area.

Things I Liked:
Things I Disliked:

And so ends Murphiroth. I ranked this at 39/100, listened to it a second time while writing the write-up, realized Id massively underrated it, and bumped it up.

I really like the opening of a few guys saying whatever in wispy voices in the background, but I really like the very slow buildup. The guys return and start chanting in increasingly epic ways as new instruments join the song. In fact, when it becomes more of a traditional song at like 2:00 and the buildup stops, I actually like it less, but they return at 2:30, so its okay. That said, it has an extremely weak ending, among the weakest of any song so far. It spends like 25 seconds just trailing off into nothing. Even with that, I still find this to be a great sort of background song, not necessarily something Id want to hear in combat, but rather something I imagine as being used in a montage as a bunch of pilots suit up for battle, kiss their wives goodbye, etc.

13. Baseball + Barbershop + my Birthday
Game: Bottom of the 9th
Score: 61/100
Nominator: LOLIAmAnAlt

Things I Liked: The concept
Things I Disliked: The awkwardness of the second line Its amazing that they even made it this far at all

I dont really like baseball-related music. I cant quite define how baseball music sounds, but we all just know it, right? So I was shocked when this was actually fun and I enjoyed it. I kind of feel bad for liking it more than the real music I ranked below it, but if Im being honest, this ridiculous, stupid song is just really fun and silly.

12. Alpine Skyline at Night
Game: A Hat in Time
Score: 61/100
Nominator: Shonen_Bat
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KCGaMIa7LYQ" data-time="

Things I Liked: Deep, bellowing horns
Things I Disliked: Nothing

Of note: I changed the YouTube link because the original was taken down.

I hate collect-a-thon games, so I never played AHiT. I did watch a YouTube compilation of the purple ghost guys interactions, though. As for this song, its solid background noise, and it does give me the impression of a city at night, which is what its trying to do, so I have no complaints. This is a solid slightly-above-mid-tier song.

And NBIceman is out

11. In the Halls of the Usurper
Game: Shovel Knight
Score: 62/100
Nominator: NBIceman
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Ao3clVneKk" data-time="

Things I Liked: Opening, generally good music
Things I Disliked: Nothing

This song has an incredibly strong first 13 seconds. Its energetic but extremely foppish, telling you exactly what youre in for. The general adventure music it turns into is a little weaker, but it still gets the job done. This is such an excellent song that does its job so well that I almost cant even say anything more about it, so let me change the subject a little: why do almost all retro indie games riff off of the NES? I can recall seeing maybe ten SNES-inspired ones, and zero N64/PS1-inspired ones. I realize that NES-style sprites are easier to make, but is that the only reason? Because I think everyone is exhausted of NES-style sprites by now.
