VOTING RULES

- Each match will be between the songs representing each game, not the game as a whole. Please remember to listen and vote with this in mind! Any votes referring to a game name rather than a song name will not be counted.
- Listen to both songs!! If one is your literal favorite song in the world and the other is something you hate with a passion, listen to them both!!
- No alts, no rallying, no begging for something to get more votes, etc., etc., you know the drill.
- If you change your mind and would like to swap your vote, you may do so. As soon as it is 24 hours since the match topic was started, you may not change your vote and new votes will not be counted.

oh no it's terra diver vs pso2!!! how will i choose!?? (funnily i just binge-listened to every hideaki kobayashi composed/arranged sonic series song that i could access earlier today...)

i wish i could earnestly vote for lemmings 3d in match 3 because i really do like that soundtrack's style; a number of other pairs would've had me going for it for sure

Terra Diver gets #6 chosen, and then it draws...#5. Damn. I feel like the top four are considerably stronger than the bottom two. Oh, and Vs. Nega-Wisp Armor (Phase 2) is from the wrong game. =p But it is a fairly close match...

Dinners
Deadlock

Unrest is pretty fun, even if I'm not a fan of the FM sound. Nice melody and organ impersonation in the synths. Dinners is a nice happy song. Love the sax here. Not my favorite from the Chicory set, but still really nice.

Deadlock Space Area is pretty interesting. Sounds more like a mood-setter than anything, but it does a pretty good job at it. Lots of really interesting chords and synths here. I'm not gonna say anything about Nega-Wisp other than I would've voted for the vocal version in a heartbeat.

Mango Tango is super good. One of Kaufman's better compositions. Great synths, vocals, and melody. Lego 1 is pretty cute. Nice melody and the little synths are pleasant. Unfortunately, it's up against the best song of the day today.

Mixed day today, but mostly good.

I like Dinners much more than I remember, but EO3 seems to be full of bangers.

Nega-Wisp always made me wish I were listening to Perfect Dark Gaia instead. Probably helps that I prefer Endless Possibilities over Reach for the Stars?

Lego 1 sounds really cute and has some real nice guitar in it as well! I wish it didn't have to go up against another Kaufman banger, but I'm very happy to have heard it here!

I love City Streets 2! Synth pop stuff like this is really cool, and the great vocals on top of that is the icing on the cake. The last part of the chorus starting at couldnt be any clearer is so good.

dinners, the big city
vs. nega wisp armor
mango tango neon jungle

i love koshiro's work, but his stuff with etrian doesn't always sit well with me, though i can't say i have ever outright hated a song from this franchise. this one has some really neat parts and others that i am a bit lukewarm on. on the other hand, dinners is one of my favourite songs in recent gaming. one of my favourite lena raine songs. it is so warm and inviting, big city feel, but not overpowering. i ADORE when the melody winds down, especially the second time.

sakimoto is so good with soundscapes. this is so crunchy and textured! the ambience is really nice too!! i don't really have much to say just a very good atmospheric mesmerising track. epic sonic music is such a weakness to me. it is so cheesy and sincere and kinda dumb. i definitely prefer the solaris and gaia counterparts but this isn't bad to me. i think i have a slight preference to the latter, but i would be more than happy to see terra diver move on.

mango tango is a blast! really delightful stuff. kinda corny, but like in a good way. the vocals are also fun and catchy too. the lemmings song is also a bit of a feel good track, come to think of it ... really happy mood to end on :)
