People of the North Pole 10-4 The Deceased Laugh

Twice in a row Seymour is beaten, and the Ronso theme lives on... But Seymour is not totally deceased yet, still got some tracks standing!

BTW,
I passed on The Deceased Laugh in the last round and am hoping it gets its just due here. Not that I'm really all that fond of People of the North Pole, but I'll gladly vote for it here.

You nominated it... :P

Round 2 - Battle 4

Start - Listen Here (http://delta.bluelaguna.net/ffxmusic/61%20-%20Start.mp3)

The airship theme, that won by a nose somehow in the last round against Darkness. It's gonna need a lot of luck because...

VS.

Path of Repentance - Listen Here (http://delta.bluelaguna.net/ffxmusic/66%20-%20Path%20of%20Repentance.mp3)

The notorious theme worth prolonging your time in Via Purifico for since you'll never see it again. Makes me wanna get convicted by Yevonites and thrown into the Via Purifico. It beat this game's sole Chocobo theme in the last round...

Path of Repentance is the obvious choice even though I like Start...

Sorry Start-voters, but it was at 8-0 before anyone nominated Start... just came here a little late, but it should be almost time anyway. The shrine has been playing yo-yo so I've sorta lost track of time. Should be all set now...

Path of Repentance 9-3 Start

Ah well, as cool as the airship theme was, it's no match for the standout Path of Repentance.

Round 2 - Battle 5

Attack - Listen Here (http://delta.bluelaguna.net/ffxmusic/63%20-%20Attack.mp3)

I used to get this one and Start mixed up a lot, probably because of the beginning, though this one's a little faster. This is the Sin battle music as well as the invading Bevelle FMV track. And, it took a week for it to win the last round against the Thunder Plateau, due to the forums being down.

VS.

Seymour's Ambition - Listen Here (http://delta.bluelaguna.net/ffxmusic/55%20-%20Seymour's%20Ambition.mp3)

Seymour again... his themes have been on a losing streak in this round so far. But this one happened to be the first to pull off a victory in the last round. Will it move on? Attack is a formidable opponent to end the losing streak on...

Okay, I REALLY like Attack as well (better than Start that's for sure), but I'd rather see Seymour's Ambition move on. It's my favorite Seymour mix (Seymour Battle doesn't count since it doesn't reflect on his theme). It's also one of... what, two left standing, and the one of the two I'd wanna to go on.
To add to that, I would have preferred Thunder Plateau in the last round. :-P

Sorry, Attack.

Next battle also features Seymour...

Round 2 - Battle 6


Decisive Battle - Listen Here (http://delta.bluelaguna.net/ffxmusic/88%20-%20Decisive%20Battle.mp3)

One of the best battle themes in the game used for Yu Yevon, bested Suteki Da Ne in the last round. I see it going far...

VS.

My Father's Murderer - Listen Here (http://delta.bluelaguna.net/ffxmusic/69%20-%20My%20Father's%20Murderer.mp3)

AKA "Patricide". I believe the last we'll see of Seymour in this round. Ambition moved up after a narrow victory, and a losing streak of the rest of his track, but will this join it?

Solaris
07-13-2008, 07:56 PM

Decisive Battle 10-2 My Father's Murderer

Decisive Battle, being a really unique final boss theme, seems to be destined to make it far. And this leaves only one more Seymour standing...


Round 2 - Battle 7

Challenge - Listen Here (http://delta.bluelaguna.net/ffxmusic/80%20-%20Challenge.mp3)

Epic boss theme used for five battles in the game that the creators probably assumed were the hardest or most epic fights or moments. If that's the case, then they did well, considering Seymour Flux is the only Seymour fight with that theme, and the only distinction it has is that it's actually tough. The rest are superbosses (and Dark Bahamut is the only Dark Aeon and a lot say he was the hardest). This theme won in a straight-up washout in the last round against Mi'hen Highway. This track alone is proof that a theme doesn't have to be all that melodic to be epic.

VS.

To Zanarkand - Listen Here (http://delta.bluelaguna.net/ffxmusic/02%20-%20To%20Zanarkand.mp3)

An interesting matchup, you might say. These two are great themes, but they're like polar opposites. One's a boss theme, the other is the antithesis. One's melodic, another is epic in a different way, one is barely known, another is commercialized a lot. And finally, Challenge won a washout, while To Zanarkand had a tough win with one vote difference against it's cousin "Revealed Truth".


I pick Challenge just because.

The theme whenever the sits down to relax and talk about something, and during Tidus's narrations, and also in the Farplane. It NARROWLY won last time after a 9-9 tie break with Jecht's Theme. Will it be so lucky this time?

Auron's Theme - Listen Here (http://delta.bluelaguna.net/ffxmusic/38%20-%20Auron's%20Theme.mp3)

One of the best "themes" lately. I know whoever loses this battle I'm gonna hate it. Love Auron as well as the Normal Battle theme. This is played in scenes when you first reunite with him, and in his sphere, and when he gets sent. I like this especially at the end of the loop, so I recommend a full listen since the scenes where it's played don't usually last that long.

Rikku's Theme - Listen Here (http://delta.bluelaguna.net/ffxmusic/48%20-%20Rikku's%20Theme.mp3)

Blitz Off! - Listen Here (http://delta.bluelaguna.net/ffxmusic/37%20-%20Blitz%20Off.mp3)

I'm not too fond of either, I don't like longass shifting themes designed for opening/ending FMVs, and Hurry... well, not so much that my disc tends to freeze in the Zanarkand scene at the beginning when this is playing, but I also can't stand the fact that it beat Hopeless Desire in the last round.

Splendid theme for a splendid performance. Shame it's only ever used once in the game, when Wakka beats the Psyches. Beat Lulu's Theme in the last round, in a fair match. How fair will this match be? We shall see...

VS.

Macalania Forest - Listen Here (http://delta.bluelaguna.net/ffxmusic/52%20-%20Makalanya%20Forest.mp3)

Hello Macalania theme that's only played in two screens OUTSIDE the forest. Not that it isn't a great track, though.

But I still pick The Splendid Performance, no competition.

Macalania Forest 8-4 The Splendid Performance

I don't understand it either, but somehow, Splendid Performance has been wasted... by Macalania's non-Macalania theme. Didn't go down without a fight, though, but Macalania seems to be a good theme, regardless of what it's called and when it's used.

Last battle in this round... here we go!

Round 2 - Battle 16

Silence Before the Storm - Listen Here (http://delta.bluelaguna.net/ffxmusic/30%20-%20Silence%20Before%20the%20Storm.mp3)

THIS is the theme that's actually played in Macalania Forest, and also the main forest/cave theme of the game. Aside from that, it beat "To the End of the Abyss" last time, the other cave theme.

VS.

Al Bhed Tribe's Chi - Listen Here (http://delta.bluelaguna.net/ffxmusic/15%20-%20Al%20Bhed%20Tribe's%20Chi.mp3)

Theme only used once in the game, when first meeting Rikku on the boat. Hence why it sounds like a slowed down Rikku's Theme. It beat the Hymn of the Fayth in the last round, so...


Silence Before the Storm is my choice though I like the other one.

[Insert statement here about how it's not played in most Maclania Forest] but it beat the Splendid Performance and Summoned...

VS.

Wandering Flame - Listen Here (http://delta.bluelaguna.net/ffxmusic/77%20-%20Wandering%20Flame.mp3)

Another soothing track... which seems to be popular, as it beat Luca and Jecht's Theme.

Round 3 - Battle 2

Challenge - Listen Here (http://delta.bluelaguna.net/ffxmusic/80%20-%20Challenge.mp3)

The ultimate battle theme of this game, practically beat the last two rounds in a washout, Mi'hen Highway AND To Zanarkand. Wonder how much that says... seriously though, this battle theme owns.

VS.

Someday the Dream Will End - Listen Here (http://delta.bluelaguna.net/ffxmusic/78%20-%20Someday%20the%20Dream%20Will%20End.mp3)

The ultimate scene-theme of this game. Hah, no joke. Let's not forget that it's Zanarkand's theme as well, but most importantly it also won in two washouts, against Shoopuf Riding and Summoned Beast Battle!

After a long hard close battle, "Someday the Dream Will End" wins by a narrow margin. It's a shame to see Challenge go (and also a shame for me now that I know my vote mattered being one of the ones that voted StDWE).
Oh well, goodbye Challenge!

Round 3 - Battle 3

Decisive Battle - Listen Here (http://delta.bluelaguna.net/ffxmusic/88%20-%20Decisive%20Battle.mp3)

Great theme that won in near washouts in the last two rounds, against "My Father's Murderer" and "Suteki Da Ne"! Played for the Yu Yevon battle.

VS.

Silence Before the Storm - Listen Here (http://delta.bluelaguna.net/ffxmusic/30%20-%20Silence%20Before%20the%20Storm.mp3)

The beautiful cave and forest theme of FFX. So far it's beaten "To the End of the Abyss" and "Al Bhed Tribe's Chi", two very treasured tracks... can it hack it against the killer Decisive Battle?

Round 3 - Battle 4

Blitz Off - Listen Here (http://delta.bluelaguna.net/ffxmusic/37%20-%20Blitz%20Off.mp3)

Another great track that's been doing well. Sounds like it paved the way for X-2. So far it's outdone Sprouting and Rikku's Theme.

VS.

Sight of Spira - Listen Here (http://delta.bluelaguna.net/ffxmusic/19%20-%20The%20Sight%20of%20Spira.mp3)

The village theme, which seems to be doing well also. Has beaten "Warping to a Different Dimension" and "Those Who Come Closer".

Round 3 - Battle 5

Seymour's Ambition - Listen Here (http://delta.bluelaguna.net/ffxmusic/55%20-%20Seymour's%20Ambition.mp3)

This is the last of Seymour's lives in this round... if this loses, he's completely out. It's an amazing Seymour mix, though, rightfully the last standing. So far it beat the theme of fellow Maester Mika, and "Attack". How threatening is it's opponent?

VS.

Besaid Island - Listen Here (http://delta.bluelaguna.net/ffxmusic/18%20-%20Bisaido%20Island.mp3)

Besaid Island... it's a great track, and it beat Tidus' Theme alright, but I never expected it to be such a threat as to beat the Seymour Battle theme like it did in the last round. That really is something, never was aware how popular this track really is. Will it wipe out the last Seymour mix left?

Good old Yuna... well, Yuna's Determination lost to her own theme, as did I Can Fly. Poor Yuna and her own theme having to beat tracks that have to do with her. Anyway... description. People keep saying that this was on the FFVIII soundtrack. "Fragments of Memories" is probably what they have in mind. Right.

I never really caught on to Yuna's Theme much, too indistinct for me. Score one for Normal Battle.

Also... whisper whisper... Please vote in the X-2 rumble. I'd be updating now, but we only have FOUR votes, what's going on? Six is the minimum I need, if the time comes and I have less than that, then I must wait. So, I beg of you who watch this one to go, just for now, and cast some votes in X-2

Since this one and the IX one are almost over I definitely want to finish them, but as for the X-2 one I might want to hand it to someone else. HOWEVER, I insist on finishing the first round myself, and then someone else may continue it. By the time I'm settled in I'll decide.
