Personal rankings: Drew > Labyrinthia > Gatewater > Circus > Workshop > Hazakura > Embassies > Lordly > Kurain > Bien

No dedicated playlist for this category, so it's individual links! PW1 and AAI2 both apparently don't have any specific area themes, at least from perusing the titles on the OST. If I somehow missed something, let me know, and I'll include it on the next poll. Hopefully people are a bit more enthusiastic about this category...! And yes, I know some of these songs have different titles, but I figured I'd just list the area to make it easier!

Anyway, I've always had a strange love for Drew Studio. Ther

The Tres Bien theme slaps and I'm voting it out of spite

I mean, I won't deny it's extremely catchy, and I don't hate it. It's just my least favorite of this batch.

Kurain > Bien > Workshop > Labyrinthia > Gatewater > Embassies > Tailor > Studio > Hazakura > Circus

I guess. Something like that. Kurain Village and Tres Bien are good and the rest are okay, except Circus which suuuucks. I think part of my vote for Kurain is just that it's so much more memorable than the rest, but oh well.

---

If anyone votes for the circus music they should automatically be banned or whatever.

Labyrinthia I guess. Except I voted for Lordly Tailor. Oops.

---

i unironically enjoy the circus theme. not a good case, but i do like the theme!
---

I think the circus theme is nice. It's got a haunting earworm quality to it.

---

Hazakura and Drew easy. I guess Hazakura by a hair

---

PW1 uses a lot of silence in their areas. I definitely remember it being used in Global Studios and Gourdy Lake. I actually kinda like that. I'm a little surprised there's no area theme for 1-5 though!

Drew > Bien > Kurain > Labyrinthia > Circus > Tailor > Workshop > Gatewater > Hazakura > Embassies

Drew Studio is the Apollo Justice soundtrack at its best. Its more subdued and simplistic soundtrack works perfectly for making this place way more mysterious. I guess it is kinda funny that this music is used for it since it's just an art studio.

I always loved how iconic Kurain Village sounds. The instrumentation and the melody just work so well in establishing that Kurain sound.

I like Circus a lot actually! It really carries that "circus with a dark past" vibe. It just feels off, but not entirely. In my defense, I do tend to like carny music to some degree, probably more than a lot of people.

Gatewater is hilarious in that the Blue Badger theme works perfectly as a Disney-esque theme park, but I think it's pretty terrible as a song.

---

I'm okay with any winner except Big Berry Circus

---

Gotta with Kurain Village... so hauntingly mystical (or something) with the hairpinning sus2 chords... whatever that instrument is called, might be some kind of double reed?

Up

I am pleased with this result so far

Part 2 tonight

Gatewaterland>Hazakura>Drew>Berry Big>Lordly>Labyrinthia>Two Embassies>Tres Bien>Shady Workshop>Kurain

if lordly tailor was in a different series i think i'd like it a lot
speaking of hazakura almost fits in Shiren or PMD lol
drew studio is a great investigation theme for a rather unremarkable setting
gatewater land is hilarious and incredible

I would've voted for the theme for (4-4) Kristoph's Prison Cell but I guess maybe you considered that more of a character theme

This is my opinion too. Probably one of few instances where Apollo Justice is going to rank highly for me.
