Well, to fit this to end on the right day, we move to 1 song a day now!

#6: Bravely Default II - Shadows Cast by the Mighty: Swift Judgment
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_iJnGWaeJSc

A super cool piece I've sorta come to expect from JRPGs nowadays especially from this tournament, but I'd say this one totally deserved to stand with the rest of them in this packed year! Has all of the best traits, being driving, triumphant, and having a powerful melody. I will say it feels like having all of the variations in one is perhaps a bit unnecessary, though, as most of them is the same aside from the ending part, but this and a couple other BD2 tracks I've heard certainly are good and the game deserves another shot in noms.

Day 94 Results!

Move Me 27 v 32 Aquatic Ambiance

True to its name, Move Me was able to keep some momentum but it's not enough to overcome a classic like your Bracket C champion, Aquatic Ambiance!!

Adelle's Theme was my fav of this year's Bravely noms, but I find both of them playing in my head sometimes (I've never played the game or heard the rest of the OST).

So uhhhh fun fact one of the songs on here was actually in the tournament and I think I forgot because I was never around for a match it was in lol. Oooooops so I guess this was a Top 9 and move the rest up in your minds this is why you prepare for things like this beforehand

#4: The First Tree - Call of Destiny
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vNPHebPA_mw

Super pretty song that does the calm, serene thing really well, but then, even better, breaks into a powerful climax near the end that caps off a song that I'd say is perfect pacing-wise and is sorta what I look for in songs like this.

Day 95 Results!

Tachi 22 v 33 The Lost City

With three entries still in the game at Round 4's beginning, I think it was pretty safe to say the Year of Todd Baker was coming true, it just came down to which of the options made it deep. The answer to that question is now answered, as The Lost City is your Bracket D champion!!

That means our second semifinal to decide who makes the finals is Aquatic Ambiance vs The Lost City!

Speaking of semifinals....

62 Team, This Ones Stronger! 20.83%
63 Precipitous Combat 19.39%
64 Panditah of the 7th Mountain 15.02%

Thoughts:

-C2 had a lot of close matches, and Mor Ardain's respectable loss means a lot of them look pretty good. Lament nearly retiring pulls Nature into the top 10 as well.
-Dark Pit getting beaten soundly makes its whole division look worse, but Battle b2 and Kill Command manage to look okay anyway. except for the fact that Kill Command still can't retire looooooooool
-In a demonstration of how losing directly to the champion can help your stats as long as you don't die too hard, Chani's Eyes lands in the top quarter overall, and even Frantic Aspic stays above a third of the other songs (including Heart of Concrete, AA's r3 opponent. man)
-Sky of Twilight stop disappointing challenge (impossible)
-Ultimate loser: AA > MM > MA > IHWLL > TotG > AM > City Trial ~ City ...which is still 20th, lmfao. Did I mention a lot of C2 looks really good? Also the second ultimate loser that lost in round 1 to a tiebreaker. (I didn't mention bracket B's, but it was Qwark's Hideout.)

#3: Mega Man X Legacy Collection - Give It a Shot
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ypos_SdPhU8

More rockin' ~~rockman~~ amazingness, but this one in particular is really a standout to me for having such a cool vibe, and how dynamic as it is as it goes, it's always a slapper but it does a lot of different things like a rock solo, a slower part, and especially a climax. This was one that probably could've got in if it weren't for the locking fiasco, so I hope it gets another shot next year! Perhaps these top 3 would be ones I'd consider nomming myself if no one else beats me to it. Perhaps.

Well, we're finally here, at #1! I hope at least a few ppl got some enjoyment out of this, getting a couple responses is all i could have asked for really pf, it was fun

#1: Let It Die - Wandervogel
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WaUOyaPoD-E

This song just rocks. It's so stand-out, the campy rock is a perfect vibe for me, and the vocals only add to it. A song I can (and do) just keep going back to, and one that was at 0/0 at a point in nominations! (After it was first nominated okay) Me going back to this song a bunch was honestly a big inspiration for me making this list so suddenly.

I wasn't going to let it die (haha) so soon, but unsurprisingly not much changed in the nomination process. But if anyone decides they do like it, I think it's certainly deserving and it'd certainly get an instant support here! What's wild though is this might not even be a song I nominate next year lol, as NOTHING TO DECLARE on this same game really deserves a second shot as well. Let It Die really just hits.
