the gods of vgmc have determined there must always be an id purpose and as such it will be back next year

good results

Also, wow @ Sunleth's victory! It's looks strong enough to retire. It would be the first fully Hamauzu retiree, I believe. (Someday the Dream Will End was arranged by Hamauzu, but it borrows Uematsu material)

Do not count your chocobos before they hatch!

I never said it would retire. I just said it looks strong enough to do so.

I won't know how to feel if this represents Etrian's first retiree

It's my favorite contest entry from the series by a mile!

on the one hand i have very mixed feelings about specifically this version retiring given its unoriginality but on the other i think it's a great song for opening the floodgates to a wider array of etrian dungeon noms

also it's encouraging seeing a non-pmd mystery dungeon song do well (whether it's shiren, chocobo, or even druaga, torneko or touhou, it'd be nice to see some more mystery dungeon reps in the future too)

I think it would be extremely funny if both Pokmon and Etrian can only get retirees through mystery dungeon

Oh, noooo! The winner of that match was almost certainly retiring. At least Un Deux Trois pulled through.

iirc k'sante was the poll winner the other day (rampage i think didn't get a proper option so shrug) so i'm not sure about that honestly

Day 79: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/8-gamefaqs-contests/80523038

Great retirees even if I wish it had been Purple Town instead. Don't think it'll keep up through the rest of the matches unless I get very lucky but oh well.

The wolf might be really happy to learn her music made it to the hall of fame of VGM. After all, she happened to stumble with the prince thanks to her singing, and who knows if she keeps singing to this day. This is truly a fantastic moment, and I'm so happy my favorite song ever has made the cut. Thanks to everyone for your choice, I love you all.

Now to win the contest! Or so I hope, god is NFS a terrifying rival. It's another breed of tough. But if we made it this far, I can dream.

Yeah dowolf, sorry about that, haha. I like Ammy a lot though, trust me.

i mean, i mostly thought it was funny >_>

I like both the winners but that's a rough 0-2 losing two of my retiree choices there.

Day 81: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/8-gamefaqs-contests/80524792

Okay Sunleth you proved your point, no need for any more scary wins haha...

if you're gonna get matches wrong could you at least not make them close so it doesn't feel so bad

Yes, how terrible it was that Epicentre grew on me. If only the match took place last round!

Hell yeah, warp-wet-woods is the second strongest in that division!

hmmm I think Sunleth should have another big win next round too

this does not help!

Sunleth retiring this year is not something I expected. It made the years of trying to get it in worth it

touhoubros... we were so close...

literally forgot to hit "post" on my vote.

god fucking dammit.

I almost voted differently on the second match >_>

REACH OUT FOR THE SUNSHINE
FORGET ABOUT THE RAIN

In the closing two hours, Specter went from 23-29 to 30-28 o.O

I'm not terribly happy about Specter's comeback, but... Can You Feel the Sunshine held on! My 12th favorite vgm in this contest has retired... given how anti-Haste many are, I wasn't sure if anything in my top 20 would reach round 5 at all. Year of Sonic R? (we'll have to see what Back in Time does...)

It's gonna be a brighter day
