Personal rankings: AAI2 > AAI1 > DD > PW1 > SoJ > Layton 2 > JFA > AJ > GAA2 > Layton 1 > T&T > GAA1

An absolutely loaded category with a clear favorite. I'm generally not a fan of the sounds AAI2 uses, but its Pursuit theme is a huge exception. It's just so darn good. It was tough deciding between that and AAI1's. I had to leave off one of the GAA themes, so I decided to put the main one in the poll even though I do like the GAA2 one better.

AA4 > LvW > AA3 > AA1 > AAI2 > AAI1 > AA2 > AA5 > AA6

Is this a hot take? I dunno. This is probably the only case where AA4's theme is my fave! LvW's is really cool too so I wish I could give both of them pity votes.

I feel like AA5 and AA6 are really lacking here.

It might be a hot take, but I think you could make an argument for most of these songs as the best one. It's the climactic court theme for a reason! It's why I saved this category for last.

I really love JFA's but I voted DD. Could go the other way depending on the day.

But they basically never dropped the ball on any of these. Both Investigations are really good.

AA1 even without nostalgia goggles, is perfect and won't ever be topped. JFA is my second pick.

AAI2 > PW1 > JFA > AAI1 > AJ > DD > SoJ > Layton > T&T > GAA2 > GAA1

I started filling out my list and had "PW1 > JFA > T&T >" sitting there, absolutely sure that something would come along that was worse than T&T's, but I was getting real worried there toward the end. Thankfully the GAA tracks came along to fill that spot.

I really thought PW1 had this in the bag for me, but I forgot about that stretch in AAI2's from 19:00 to 19:11. That's gotta be the most exhilarating portion of any AA track. So fucking good.

That stretch is what puts AAI2 over AAI1 for me.

AAI2 Pursuit is the best song in the series.

Voted Layton's here. I really like how intense it is, it feels like it matches the stakes of the trials there potentially ending in immediate execution.

Layton straight-up sounds like JRPG boss music, in a good way.

Almost all the pursuit themes are highly overrated! >_>

Pursuit ~ Wanting to the Find the Truth is still my #1 I think, as it has been ever since playing AAI2. The intro and guitar intermediate section really bang, even though the other parts I don't find nearly as good.

Lying Coldly I think gets second place. The orchestration is nice, especially at the climax. Keep Pressing On, The Great Turnabout, and Cornering Together benefit from the 3DS sound quality a lot, so they also get HM's.

JFA and AAI1 are my favorites, though there aren't many bad choices here. Think I'll go with Lying Coldly

I'm just glad I finished this by today since I will be out of town from Monday until Friday, so the winners polls will have to wait until I get back.

AAI1 is a weird case where the intro isn't that exciting at all, but it goes somewhere so cool it more than makes up for it by the end

AA1 is the series' signature theme; i have no qualms about it winning

I was honestly shocked PW1 wasn't running away with this from the start. 9-5 is still closer than I thought it would be.

Cornered is powerful (especially the version with the abbreviated introduction that I believe plays at the end of T&T), but it's not competitive against many of the later themes. I chose Spirit of Justice's.

If Pursuit - Cornered weren't the PW1 track, I don't believe it would be winning. I don't dislike it, but so many of these other tracks are just amazingly composed.

But I'm naturally a rebel and try to overcorrect for nostalgia.

If anything, I almost have more of an emotional connection to SoJ's because of how thrilling it was to get such a strong game again in the series and how powerful moments of cases 3 and 5 were.

I assume we're not doing the variation theme poll given that PW1 is just going to very easily win that one too, right?

Yeah, I would assume so. The differences between the original and the variations probably aren't big enough to alter the result.

I'm planning to put up a Best OST poll later tonight as a placeholder until I get back.
