Board 8 > [VGMC] Video Game Music Contest 15: Nominations thread (for real this time)

(+) Yeah! (+)

on this topic:

(unless i missed something) so far the noms of mine to receive 0 acknowledgement of interest or intent to support in any form are:
*Pikmin 3 - Plasm Wraith
*The Labyrinth of Time - Telecom
*Neotokyo - Nimbus

not saying this to bring attention to them, but to warn i intend to drop them likely because i want to make room in my currently filled up noms for stuff to support from others.

so if you have any slight interest in supporting these, be clear to me soon; because i'm intending to drop them and replace them with supports at some point today or tomorrow if there continues to be no movement on them
---

might as well roll in with mine too

likely to be denominated soon from lack of interest, personal or otherwise:
Last Bible 3 - Underworld Forest
Devil Summoner: Soul Hackers - Futagamikado Basement
Daytona USA 2 - Slingshot
Evergrace - Buying Goods at Palmira

still really want these songs in, so clinging on - but will have to let go at some point if they don't receive support:
Mega Man Slide - GHOST MAN
Great Sluggers - Full Base

Is there a meaningful reason to push this over Mana Khemia? I thought there was a Meruru version with lyrics, but this isn't it. Sounds like this just messes with the guitar work starting at the 2-minute mark. And besides the bit at 3:30, which is neat, I think the original is better.

Not saying I would or wouldn't support the MK version, so don't change just to try to pick up my support, but I'm not into this.

Honestly I just like the full version a lot more, and the vocal version feels like a bit of a step down. In short, the version I nominated is my favorite!

and I figured I already have "vocal MK" covered with Stigmata >_>

Aw crap I killed the link for Heritors of Arcadia by accident. I don't suppose editing my post fixes it?

firefalls (from the singa RPG discord) is planning to nom Fires of Resistance from FF7R once his account has enough karma. apparently there are issues with most youtube uploads of the track, since squenix takes down any uploads that start from the beginning, so he's gonna upload his own version. posting here so people have more time to listen and support.
here's a spotify link which starts properly: https://open.spotify.com/track/1RJeFwkzDGvVMbhtGSNykI?si=a71fbb81738d4399
here's a youtube link which firefalls recommended. it starts in the middle but at a pretty good part and loops: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Obr-9ZPSWys

+ Risk of Rain 2 | The Rain Formerly Known As Purple | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EGXPAoyP_cg

---

I am way behind but here's some supports. Can't absolutely guarantee I hold onto these once I get further into the playlist but I wanted to get some out there and these seem like reasonably safe bets

+ Zelle | Zelle | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6SMe0qIEfJQ
+ Xenosaga II | The Image Theme of Xenosaga II | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hdotfD8ifBI
+ Little Busters! | Ring Ring Ring! | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3R_sAFn0qKQ
+ Ico | You Were There | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XWVij6r4QBw
---

+ Last Bible 3 | Underworld Forest | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BktcIbbHUn0

Of all the "soon-to-be-unnominated" songs, I think I like this the most.
---

+ One Step From Eden | Fairfrozen: Selicy's Theme | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hfLubk6Hqnc
+ Aurora Memoria: Philosophical Data Session 2093 | OPTICAL MODE | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gpssBAh8A38
+ Pokemon X/Y | Anistar City | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6k091sH8m0Y

At least I wanted Anistar City supported before pyre loses hope in it and removes it. Looks like skipping over exploring XY's soundtrack was a mistake.

---

You say that like I won't stubbornly cling to it until it breathes its dying breath

Ok I'm not going to do that with all my noms admittedly but I probably will hold onto that one for a while.
---

Missed a title switch apparently

- Xenosaga II | The Image Theme of Xenosaga II | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hdotfD8ifBI
+ Xenosaga Episode II: Jenseits von Gut und Bose | the image theme of Xenosaga II | https://youtu.be/hdotfD8ifBI

Gonna double

+ OMORI | BREADY STEADY GO | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QL_MA9kQ-0o

And remove

- Monster Train | Seraph, the Traitor | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tdJ_iwFL6R8


---

I was seriously considering supporting Seraph the Traitor, and I've seen it on multiple other consideration lists too.

Haha-- I was just thinking "man, I know Seraph, the Traitor has some support buzz but it's still at 1/1 huh" like an hour ago

I'll keep the seat warm-- Ark can reconsider at their leisure

+ Monster Train | Seraph, the Traitor | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tdJ_iwFL6R8

ok sorry i can not allow this sorry if i am too abrupt at finally dropping my own things but:

- Neotokyo | Nimbus | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WepkqvbcwCQ

++ Monster Train | Seraph, the Traitor | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tdJ_iwFL6R8
---

also while i'm feeling impulsive i might as well do this already

- Pikmin 3 | Plasm Wraith | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EopLxENS6Ig
+ TASOMACHI: Behind the Twilight | Sanctuary-SHU | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LcINY2eFnSc
---

I don't know how likely I am to support Seraph, but I'd be sad to see it go.

---

Okay, sure!

+ Monster Train | Seraph, the Traitor | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tdJ_iwFL6R8

---

You guys are making me worried! I mean, sure, I'm concerned and sad over my noms which have gotten no support, or even talk, so far... but I figured that until we've passed at least a full week it'd be premature to start pulling the plug! Heck, I was thinking more like 10 days from the open being a good amount of time to help make sure everyone has a good chance.

...should... should I be giving up hope already?

It was a strategy. He turned something with no support into a leading contender by pretending to drop it.
---

Let's see if this works. Golly gee, I guess nobody's ever going to support this one, eh. I guess I'll just drop it.

- Chrono Trigger | Huh?! | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eHKC54lcMdw

---

+ Chrono Trigger | Huh?! | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eHKC54lcMdw
---

to be clear i'm somewhat impatient by necessity right now because due to irl distractions i'm going to be far less capable of paying attention to the contest starting late tomorrow; so made a clear public statement that i was intending to drop the ones that weren't shown any consideration in playlists or through supports or anything so i could do what i can while i still can before then. and actually support my favorites out of the endless hours of new music i've been listening to

seraph the traitor, just happened to be, literally my favorite of the new music to me from all this
---

Almost done fully catching up, but for now I wanted to throw in my support for something i thought about nominating earlier.

+ Library of Ruina | Children of the City | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aHUVqV5CO6w

---

- Chrono Trigger | Huh?! | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eHKC54lcMdw

I guess it really won't get any support.
---

Something new

+ Golden Sun: The Lost Age | Air's Rock | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TUixU-Vav8k

---

OMG way too much amazing music not getting supports >.< Also CRAP, Mycro already sounding the first bell on his nominations. Guess I'll just have to go through them all now (after I'm finished posting a few more supports)

+ The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky SC | Aiming for the Future | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=360l1Jg5Kko
+ Fire Emblem If | Hitori Omou | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eU9y5b_Hh-8
+ CrossCode EX | One Last Trial | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LX-Sfhbgoi8

I prefer the English Lost in Thoughts compared to Hitori Omou, but this one's acceptable, I suppose...! ...but even this version so EMOTIONAL with such gorgeous chords, ahhhhh, it's grown on me so much, cream of the crop emotional music!!!


---

if someone really likes any of the ones i dropped i can always reinstate them too of course; though everyone only has so much room of course

also like 3 separate people messaged me to say they didn't want me to drop labyrinth of time telecom; so, i didn't. which is why i made a statement like i did! to make sure i could know that stuff.

not intending to drop anything more for now though and i can always bring whatever back eventually

You can say this again! I know we're still early in the process, but it's disheartening to see songs that have made it in previously not get any attention

I think the Japanese singer has a much more beautiful voice. I believe the judges actually cried when she auditioned for the song. That said, her voice is too soft in the Japanese End of All, so I prefer English End of All

Made a slight mistake with the thief last time. Machine in the Walls is for user GameBop, but would be nice to actually get it in, maybe i'm underrating it.
