- No alt accounts, no rallying or begging, etc., etc.... You only get one vote! Swapping votes is alright, just make clear that you've already made a vote and are swapping.

Immanence has been growing on me (and I thought it was amazing to begin with); but i am definitely one of Id's biggest fans on here and there's only like 1 song i'd take over it left. still either winner in match one will wind up being among my favorite retirees for sure

point of no return has ALSO been growing on me, but in this case i'll actually be giving it my vote!

La Mer

My imagined, ideal piece of VGM always tells some kind of musical story - a theme is established early on, developed throughout the song, and brought back at the end in its original form, maybe with some subtle changes added. It basically needs to follow the hero's journey in storytelling! La Mer executes this format really well, introducing the instruments and tonality first before establishing a proper theme 50 seconds in, and bringing it back for an amazing climactic ending! I love Time's Scar for a lot of the same reasons, though the instruments there are very much a step above. Huh, apparently both songs happen to play over an outdated-looking JRPG opening movie...

I think this is the first time I've voted for Id in a retirement match. Maybe this really is the year.
