Round 2

Battle 1

Blue Skies

vs.

Ride On

FIGHT!

Ride On

Gotta go for Ride On. Don't really like it, but it beats blue skies by a mile.

Ride on

Ride on

nooooooo!!

fight back, Blue Skies

I thought both were really good, but I'm voting for Ride On, which as I've said before, I consider to be pure joy captured in a music piece.

blue skies

The Ride on file still isnt working for me and blue skies is good anyway, so ill vote for that.

Ride On

This battle:

Ride On - 6

Blue Skies - 3

So, ride on wins, with over half more votes!

Next Battle

Movin

vs.

Force Your Way

FIGHT!

Force Your Way for me

Force Your Way for me

seconded

Force Your Way

force your way

I can't believe this, Movin' is way better. That's my vote 100%

Force your way

Both are good but I prefer Moving

Movin

Movin

Wow this is hard as they are my two favorites. Umm, actually Im not gonna vote this round, i just cant choose.

I can't choose either. I'll just wait and see then.

Guys, just vote from your heart, the more votes we get the better.

Guys, just vote from your heart, the more votes we get the better.

Fine, fine. After much consideration im going to vote for Movin.

Movin

movin suks... Force your way kiks ass

Right, let this one go a bit longer, to attempt to encourage more voters, I think it worked!

Movin' - 6

Force Your Way - 4

So, a close one, but Movin' gets the victory.

Next Battle

Overture

vs.

Maybe I'm a Lion

Maybe I'm a Lion

The Overture is kinda sweet, but it definitely doesn't beat Maybe I'm a Lion for me.

Maybe I'm A Lion.

The overture version on this site sucks, but the one in the game is awesome so it gets my vote.

I dont see why so many people like maybe ima lion, its jsut the same drum beat over and over for half the song lol. (at least on this site it is)

You can't always trust the MIDIs on this site. Sometimes they're really good, but other times they really suck. Unless you're listening to either the game version or an MP3, it can be hard to make a determination.

Maybe I'm a Lion

Overture

Maybe i'm a lion

maybe im a lion

Even though I can see that Maybe I'm a Lion has clearly won, I'll vote for...
Ok quick change of mind - maybe Maybe I'm A Lion should go ahead. Although I'd hate to see it win, I suppose it's better than Overture.

OK, sorry about lateness I've been truly busy this week and last:

Overture - 2

Maybe I'm A Lion - 6

A nice victory for the latter, as it makes its way to round 3!

Next Battle

The Landing

vs.

Premonition

The Landing

The Landing

Premonition deserves not to be defeated in a sweep.

Premonition

Tough choice but i pick The Landing.

Premonition

The Landing

Premonition

Premonition.

The Landing ftw

Here's the update!

The Landing - 5

Premonition - 5

Oh dear :(

I think this time, I will have to pick Premonition, since it is definitely one of my all time favourites, sorry to you 5 people ;(

Next Battle

Balamb Garden

vs.

Starting Up

wow the landing lost. :(

Ill vote for Balamb garden.

Starting Up

balamb garden

Balamb Garden.

Balamb Garden

Balamb Garden

The Landing lost? That's a new one. Guess my vote counted after all then. Current battle --- tough decision --- I think Balamb GARDEN --- just because there are better pieces that are similar in style to Starting Up.

Balamb Garden got boring and repititive so my vote goes for Starting up.

Balamb Garden

Starting Up

Starting Up

1, Breezy ( i dont know makes me Calm )
2,The landing
3, Galbadia Garden
4,Junction ( i dont know why )
5. movin

Grayfox, wtf you're supposed to be voting for either Balamb Garden or Starting Up, not telling us your fave songs :)

The Landing is gone? Interesting way of finishing battles, you voting for the song, but i guess since you didn't get a vote, it's alright.

I vote Starting Up, cause Balamb Garden is boring.

Balamb Garden
Cause I dont know what Starting Up is

Oh sorry:-P

well i vote for.......Starting Up

I just wanna say, what's starting up

I just wanna say, what's starting up
It's a musical piece in the FFVIII game.

Well I sort of gathered, but what part of the game was it so I can remember?

Kie, yeah, I'm sorry if it didn't go your way, there is a really technical way of working it out, but I forgot it, and uh -- Well, the chances of getting a tie are pretty low anyway.

Balamb Garden - 8

Starting Up - 7

Well, that was a huge battle, and very tight, but Balamb Garden juuuuuust gets the edge there!

Rude666, as far as I remember, its the music that is played when during the whole running away from the Black Widow (robot) sequence in Dollet, but I'm not sure, unfortunately. However, on the good side, it only takes a second for you to find out for yourself http://www.ffshrine.org/ff8/ff8_midi.php

You know you can edit posts :(

Ending theme for me

Ending Theme

One for Ending Theme (which has my favorite, the Final Fantasy Prologue), but good match.

I think this battle really has gone on long enough. It's obvious which song has won and it's not like Rapture ain't active...he was on here Christmas eve. Hurry up now.

Calm Down Kie..... Ami still has a chance, they only need a hundred more

I think this battle really has gone on long enough. It's obvious which song has won and it's not like Rapture ain't active...he was on here Christmas eve. Hurry up now.

Every post you make it sounds like you haven't had any in a looong time....LIGHTEN UP!!

Why should we lighten up? Christmas has been and passed, whats there to look foward to?

Kie --- I'm a bit surprised at you --- I thought you would know better than to ask the manager of a rumble to hurry it up within the thread. If you must ask them to hurry it up, then you send them a private message.

Please, no more posts here, folks, unless you're going to vote.


Edit --- Rude666 --- I can read your mind, and that is not an invitation for you to start badgering Kie too (or me.) So don't.

Damn. I thought it was a pretty good excuse

Sorry Agent, I was just wondering why the guy doesn't check his own rumble thread anymore.

Oh and Darkwizard, that's not a nice way to make friends around here, my sexual life has nothing to do with a 4 post count newbie who thinks he knows the proper way to post. Be nicer :)

Hey, I have a Christmas Holiday to take advantage of here! I'm sorry, but I can't get on the PC all the time, which is why my updates are as long as 6 days sometimes. I do make this Rumble the first thing I sort out when I do go on a PC though, so...Sorry about the delay, but as mentioned, I spend xmas with family, and its hard to get on the PC.

Ending Theme - 14

Ami - 2

EDIT 2: Agent0042 --- I fixed the tagging --- you didn't have a slash on one of the tags that was supposed to be a closing tag.

I'm voting for Waltz for the Moon, the other doesn't really stand out for me.

waltz for the moon

Im not fond of either, but Succession of Witches

Long christmas, wb Rapture :)

Waltz for the Moon takes it here.

Walz for the Moon

Succession of Witches

Waltz for the moon, easily.

yupe Waltz for the Moon

OK. Let's see how this one went..

Waltz for the Moon - 6

Succession of Witches - 2

So a nice win for Waltz for the Moon there. We're closing in on the tighter rounds of the Rumble now, we all need to make our votes count now guys.

Last Battle in this round

Roses and Wine

vs.

Compression of Time

ALSO: Thanks for the edit Agent, I didn't notice that -- I was puzzling over it for ages!

Damn -- these forums are slow - I double posted, ignore :(

Yes they're very slow. I blame Ender :)

Easy vote here. Compression of Time

Compression also.

Damn this is hard... Compression of Time

Roses and Wine

No prob on the edit.

Tough choice --- Compression of Time, I think.

Roses and Whine. This song was played at the perfect time in the game. I love this song.

Compression of Time

Compression Of Time

Compression of Time

OK, well we're at the end of this round, and the "Music" rumble is steadily coming to an end, but it's not over yet, still some tough choices in Round 3 guys!

Roses and Wine - 2

Compression of Time - 7

Nice win there for Compression of Time -- seems one of the favourites!

Premonition because it doesnt deserve to get beaten this bad by any song.

Premonition

OK lets see!

Ride On - 7

Premonition - 3

So, we're advancing even more, and Ride On gets a nice win there!

Next Battle

Ending Theme

vs.

Maybe I'm a Lion

Ending Theme for me. If this were the Black Mages II, Maybe i'm a Lion would be a clear favourite though...they really brought the song to life.

I'm going to take the Ending Theme too. It, of course, has the Prologue, which I would vote for over just about anything. Haven't heard this Black Mages II version of the other piece, though, but sounds neat.

Ending Theme

Maybe im a lion. so much better

If you wanna listen to it Agent, it's located here (http://bluelaguna.net/music/bm2/mp3s.php).

hmmm...for me it would deffinitely be the landing theme, y'know...the one when they storm into dollet(the exam), or before the crescendo with G-Garden

Vagrant, welcome to the boards. You should go back and read the thread more carefully --- you're posting in a thread that's devoted to an ongoing game. Please look for the most recent post by Rapture and vote for one of the two musical pieces specified.

OK guys. As with the other rumbles, we need some re-instating to be done.

I havent much time so I can't do this till tomorrow, but if any regulars are on I'd appreciate it if they could round up and re-cap the Locations.

Battle 1

27. Timber (This is where you meet Rinoa, and the rest of the "Forest Owls", Timber one of my favourite 'musics' of the game, and it's a great mission).

vs.

30. White SeeD Ship (The SeeDs in white reside here, still under the "matrons" command. They're curious of you to start with, but they're soon nice and friendly. You can win some decent cards from Zone and Watts here too).

The White SeeD ship I think

Timber

White SeeD Ship

Timber
Cuse ur on the white seed ship for all of 2 seconds

Timber.

White SeeD Ship.

Timber is also my favorite theme.

Oh good, we're up and running again. Things are finally settling down. Timber because in addition to the city, I like the local geography as well. And yeah, you really don't get to be on the White SeeD ship much.

Timber.

Timber
Cuse ur on the white seed ship for all of 2 seconds

I agree plus I really liked Timber, I liked its ...randomness.

Timber

Timber

Timber

(wow I can't believe somebody hasn't said this yet)
Tiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimmmmmmmmmmmmmbbbbbbbbbbbbbb beeerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

Timber because of the magazine place, the forest owls, the old guy who has reviving water, and the train that almost hits the kid.

what happens on the white seed ship? you hear a story from some captain and win some cards?

Timber

Timber

White SeeD Ship

Timber

OK, left this one a little later to maximise votage~

Timber - 15

The White SeeD Ship - 4

So a huge amount of votes, around 70% of them went right to Timber, understandably, really.

Next Battle

16. Space Station -- Here, you're launched right into space for a very eventful mission which spreads from trying to Stop Rinoa and being thrown several metres back, to "de-propagating" the wonderful Ragnarok.

vs.

20. Cactuar Island -- The tiny island towards the south is entirely habitated by the small green Cactuars, for each you defeat, you earn 20AP. You can gain the GF Cactuar by defeating it's rather large cousin, the Jumbo Cactuar.

Cactuar Island.

Space Station

cactuar island

Hmm, tough decision. I'll put one in for Space Station. I actually spent more time at Esthar - Kashkabald Desert than at Cactuar Island proper.

Wow, this is a tough decision.

Well, I'll say Space Station because it was a great part of the story and I've always been fascinated with astronomy...

Omg omg omg I hated the space station and its stupid floatedness. Whenever I wanted to go somewhere I would go to a corner of something. T_T. Plus catching Rinoa was annoying. Cactuar Island!!

Space stationthe rinoa float scene was the most dramatic (and beautiful) scene in VIII

Cactuar Island

Space Station

Cactuar Island

space station

Cactuar Island Spent more time there n Jumbo Cacky kicks ass :) If it was Ragnarok isntead of space station then my vote would have been different.

Space station

OK, let's so how this one turned out!

We had:

Space Station - 9

Cactuar Island - 10

Wow, this was an exceedingly close battle, with supporters for both sides, however Cactuar Island gets the upper hand this time.

Next Battle

13. Tomb of the Unknown King - This is a large maze, which i generally pretty hard to navigate around unless you have both the map and the position marker from the guard in Timber. The scenery is quite beautiful, and you can obtain GF Brothers here.

vs.


15. Ultimecia's Castle - Full of boss battles, and puzzles, this is quite a tricky part of the game. Well, it is the last area. It's still lots of fun, and holds more sentiment, because you fight the last battle here, against Ultimecia.

FIGHT!

Close one for Cactuar Island eh? :p

Vote for Ultimecia's Castle here.

I knew it would win ^_^

I'll vote Ultimecia's Castle. I like this place and the puzzles were neat too.

Ultimecia's Castle, what a magnificent place.

Ultimecia's Castle hands down, the other one was just annoying

Ultimecia's Castle

Tomb of the Unknown King because Ultimecia's castle was irritating after several, several hours of gameplay there...

Ultimicias castle As it had some cool bosses and a cool theme.

Ultimecia's Castle because of the bosses there. Like Omega Weapon and Griever!

Ultimecia's Castle, what a magnificent place.

Tomb of the Unknown King.
The brothers GF was one of the best IMHP

Ultimecia's Castle

Ultimecia's Castle

Ultimicias castle As it had some cool bosses and a cool theme.

uhhh compresion of time. *can we change the subjest to something besides music?*im getting a headache trying to remember songs from 6 years ago but i just now started replaying yesterday so plz change it ty
-mark-

The music section of the Rumble ended quite some time ago, now. Now we're on to Locations. You need to decide which one you prefer out of Ultimecia's Castle and Tomb of the Unknown King, in this case.

Ultimecia's Castle

tomb of the unknown king isnt that were you fight tonberry king?

No, that's Centra Ruins. I give an overview of each of the places in battle when it starts.

Ultimecia's Castle

Ultimecia's Castle all the way. I remember once when I got back all my abilities EXCEPT for save and went ahead with the battle against Ultemcia and I lost and the last place I saved was before entering the castle...I got owned.

Ultimecia's Castle

Definately Ultimecia's Castle climax of the game created great anticipation and the music.I still wonder what that piano was for

OK Let's get this one ended!

We had:

Tomb of the Unknown King - 2

Ultimecia's Castle - 17

Loads and loads more votes for Ultimecia's Castle, naturally. Unlucky for the Tomb of the Unknown king to be up against such an opponent to be honest!

Next Battle

4. Centra Ruins - These are the small ruins within which you are able to gain the GF's Odin and Tonberry. Odin is fairy simple to attain, and is very useful indeed, if he comes at the right time! 20 Tonberries must be defeated to gain it as a GF, however, which some people might find annoying. In any case, it still looks wonderful.

vs.

12. Fire Cavern - The first main mission in Final Fantasy VIII takes you here. A small cavern filled with lava and fire. At the end you gain GF Ifrit. You also "pass" the field exam. There's lot's of fire magic to be drawn here, too which comes in useful for junctioning and obviously, it's use!

Fire Cavern. Curse those darn Tonberries!

Centra ruins Odin was soo cool I can still hear his horses hoof beats

Centra Ruins

Fire Cavern

Centra Ruins

Centra Ruins

Centra Ruins

Centra Ruins because Odin is just awesome.

Centra Ruins.

My Blue Heaven --- Centra Ruins

Centra Ruins Simply because you get Tonberrys there and they always make me laugh for whatever reason.

Fire Cavern, though I like them both equally really.

Centra Ruins - tonberry slayin time

Centra Ruins for Odin. Tonberrys can go to island closest to hell...and get wasted by Zell.

centra ruins

Fire Cavern

Fire Cavern

Centra Ruins

Centra Ruins, one of the most interesting areas in all of VIII.

i still like the Fire Cavern.

Fire Cavern

Fire Cavern, Ifrit was always one of my favorites in the FF series, so I enjoyed getting him early in the game!

OK, I'm going to finish a little earlier this time <3

Fire Cavern - 7

Centra Ruins - 14

OK, again, really impressed with the amount of votes! But Centra Ruins had twice as much support as the Fire Cavern!

Next Battle

6. Edea's House - This is where 'Matron' Edea lives. Not much to do here, however it was the old orphanage for Squall and the gang, and it also has the flower field area which was where Squall and Rinoa made their promises. (I remember this being up last time)

vs.

3. Chocobo Sanctuary - You need to have visited and conquered all of the chocobo forests throughout the world to reach this place. Confined in forest, it can be hard to find, but once you get there it is beautiful. You also witness the rare Chocobo dance, and the Chicobo card.

FIGHT!

I think im going for Edeas house Because when you see the flash backs of them as kids. Its cute. (Not in a creepy Sarah way)

Edea's house.

Edea's House.

Chocobo Sanctuary. Edea's house proved to be nothing more than an orphanage. Kind of dissapointing really.

Chocobo Sanctuary.

Edea's house brung back memories...

Chocobo Sanctuary
there shud o been sum secret twist to edeas crib, like a sacrificial room where edea slaughters children who are potentially fat

Chocobo Sanctuary, as Edea's House reminds me of one the most pathetic plot-twists I have ever seen.

Edea's House, flashbacks are sweet...

Chocobo Sanctuary

Chocobo Sanctuary

Hrm... Edea's House.

Edea's House

Edea's House. i never did the whole Chocobo thing

Edea's House.

chocobo sanctuary

Chocobo Sanctuary.

Edea's House.

Edea's House-Cause i never got to the Chocobo garden. :(










...i think..

Chocobo Santuary

Chocobo Sanctuary - 8

Edea's House - 11

A fairly close battle there folks, but Edea's House, the home to a highly disputed Plot twist gets the upper hand!

Next Battle

21. Deling City - A wonderful city with a funky musical score. Here you undergo a well planned mission in order to capture the Sorceress, and at last resort, fight her yourself. However as with most things, this doesn't quite go to plan. This place closes Disk 1, and is a super mission!

vs.

26. Balamb Town - This is the first town you will visit. It has a nice melodic theme, some gorgeous backgrounds, and is home to Zell and his "Mother". In Disk 2 you also obtain Pandemona here by drawing it in the grand battle against Fujin and Raijin.

FIGHT!

Hrm, it's actually about even for me, but I'm going to give the edge to Balamb Town because I really hated screwing around in those sewers in Deling City.
