Etrian Mystery Dungeon 2 - Frozen Grounds
beatmania IIDX 20 tricoro / jubeat saucer - Rainbow after snow
Old World - Festival of Dionysus (Greece)

-- Match 1: Frozen Grounds vs. Alabaster Icelands 1 --
This feels like a really strong and suitable end to the Ice Bracket in spite of this tournament not having VIM(P), with two really moving RPG themes against one another here. Really hard to choose, Alabaster Icelands has higher highs (namely when the bass picks up) and also some more lows than Frozen Grounds, I think the more consistent emotion in Frozen Grounds barely takes it for me, though. Good showing from PL:A this time though, I knew it'd have songs that'd hit hard with me. Maybe one day I'll finish it.

-- Match 2: Rainbow after snow vs. Portugal --
Nice chill but vibrant (ha) Nekomata Master song, the vocals really add to it. Feels like an anime ED or something, almost kinda touching. Portugal kinda feels like if a Layton town theme was a bit more laid back and...tango-ey? Anyways it's nice, but a tad too subdued for my tastes. Doesn't quite hit what Southern Twilight hit for me, that was a special song.

-- Match 3: Back in Time vs. Festival of Dionysus (Greece) --
Hard to say a ton about Back in Time that I didn't say about Can You Feel the Sunshine?, really. But I do think I prefer the latter, it's got a more iconic chorus. Not to say this one is bad though, it's anything but and I like the almost more wistful vibe. Festival of Dionysus is super pretty (well there has to be at least one adjective I end up using too much), you can feel a sense of history in it and the flute hard carries. I don't like it quite as much when that isn't there but it's enough to make it memorable for me. Another tough match. Think Festival hits harder for me today, honestly. Maybe my opinions on Sonic R music is more diverse than I thought.
