I already saw a lot of things I want to support, but I'll try listening to all day 1 nominations before posting them

PSA that if you posted a long upload (over 5:30) and know the loop point, please add it (or write N/A) to the left side of the Reactions sheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1FSbGDe4eo2bTfFrOqOIFc6gqh-XmVtz2fCROOYGrJTI/edit#gid=0

A few of us mark the loops each year to save precious listening time, but it sure is a lot easier when you're familiar with the song!

+ Turgor/The Void | Grains of Mood | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xKR-LFV71H0

+ Epic Loon | Even in the Carpathians, taking a train is still faster than riding a ghoul | https://youtu.be/k9hF0okYl3o?si=fS8nU3iX4eo8uNi4

Spur of the moment supports. Also that is quite the mouthful of a title. I don't think Wildfire or Castle of Sand need my help, but I'll be keeping an eye out anyway.

As I think I said in the other topic I am traveling the entirety of the nom period and can't really participate in any typical sense. I'll try to at least nominate some new songs today and tomorrow but and support some stuff I already know at the end, but I doubt I'll have time to listen to much new. Anyways:

++ Honkai Impact 3rd | Rubia | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cIv5lFkBey0
+ Honkai Star Rail | Pedujara (All Phase Mix) | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zma7bOGA1oM
+ Honkai Star Rail | Death Approaches | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AgfW1E_YtrE
+ Old World | War Elephant | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XQ5KlAki41k
+ Xenoblade Chronicles 2 | Kingdom of Uraya (Night) | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xzcG4ADSY-Y

In anticipation over objection to Pedujara's eligibility I will note that this version plays in the Echo of War (boss rush) mode with no delay between phases (Yes, including the transition part at 4:01 that does not appear on any OST track). If it's a huge deal to someone I will probably switch to just the phase 2 version from the OST but I think this should be eligible.

@loweffortmemes Your link for Before I Rise is, for whatever reason, missing a verse. (Which does play in game.) Would you be opposed to swapping to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0O3mo_tF9Hk ?

Case in point...if you get tired of Old OSF Hospital from Scarlet Nexus, it's because you've heard everything by 3:45 - there it jumps back to 1:20 for a bit, before finally repeating from 0:00.

I figured I could support this now, since I planned to nom it anyway :

Just want to check, you've linked Phantylia the Undying Boss Theme but labelled it Pedujara. Are these the same song?

yeah, it's correct

Yeah, the video is the one I meant to link. Phantylia is the name of the boss fight the song plays in, and I think what I grabbed was an unofficial upload before the OST with official titles was released. The songs that appear on the official OST ( https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_kQ7WKSGU9ftg8vHOtSVmatWy23a9Xb9ts ) are just the tracks for the 3 individual phases (roughly 0:00-2:00, 2:00-4:00, and 4:00-6:15 in what I linked), which are titled:

Pedujara: Ephemeral Cycle
Pedujara: Even Immortality Ends
Pedujara: Demiseless Existence

I'm realizing I did misread the rule in the Google doc for multi-phase boss music, but I think there's precedent where we have been allowed to nominate combined versions of multi-phase boss themes even if the combined version does not appear as a single track on the OST--which is the scenario here. @banshiryuu if this is wrong tell me and I'll change the nomination.

Edit: Fun fact did you know GameFAQ's doesn't let you put words (or links...) with longer than 80 characters in a message? What a good and helpful feature.

Yeah as long as it's not like (song playing)-(big pause for story stuff or smthn)-(next phase plays) then I might be tempted to say that's leaning more into separate songs. But if the phase change happens dynamically or instantaneously then I think it should be totally fine.

+ Gran Turismo 3: A-Spec | Light Velocity | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KEVLCNwwFec

i'll think about mesmerium i just didn't want to disappoint

It is basically instantaneous in the previously-referred-to boss rush mode, and even when you do the fight in the actual story it only pauses for like maybe 5 seconds for 1-2 lines of dialogue.

Going to assume okay then.
