Terra

Terra

Crystal World-3
Terra-15


A good number of votes, and a total demolition, as expected. Terra romps onto the next round.

Next battle:

You're Not Alone: Only played once in the entire game(after Zidane meets Garland on the Pandemonium), it is a truly stunning tune.

vs

Steiner's Theme: A rather comical theme, but an enjoyable one nonetheless, it is to be heard a number of times through the game.

Fight!

I vote for You're Not Alone, as for me Mystery Sword is the only theme better then it in the entire game.

I like both but I'll go with You're Not Alone.

You're Not Alone

Steiner's Theme

its rounds like these i really feel like not voting as both songs fit perfectly in the scenes they get used

i'l go with Steiner's Theme tho as its used more often and never managed to bore me and simply because it has that quirky err.. i dont know whats the instrument is called(banjo?) but it plays at 01:14

Tough choice, but I'm gonna go for the bombastic Steiner's Theme.

You're Not Alone

Steiner's Theme-Great quirky theme in line with "Jesters of the moon"

You're Not Alone - one of the greatest tunes in the series

Steiner's Theme-Great quirky theme in line with "Jesters of the moon"

Steiner's Theme

You know, surprisingly, this is actually a rather tough decision. If You're Not Alone were up against a lot of other pieces, I would probably go for it, no question. But Steiner's Theme is just so amusing and fits him so well (at least until he develops and changes) that I just have to vote for it.

Steiner's Theme

You're Not Alone

You're Not Alone-6
Steiners Theme-8

I must admit, i'm amazed by that, I really didnt expect Steiner's theme to be so popular.

Next battle:

Pandemonium: Played in the Pandemonium(obviously), this theme gets rather repetitive after a while.

vs

Zidanes Theme: Quite a rare theme, only heard on the Cargo ship I believe, when Zidane grabs Daggers ass I believe.

Fight!

Pandemonium. Even though it's very repetitive, I love the hellish organ.

Zidane's Theme

Zidane's Theme-Reminds me of Lockes theme in FFVI :)

I adore Zidane's Theme.

I adore Zidane's Theme.

Pandemonium. Even though it's very repetitive, I love the hellish organ.

Zidané team. Cheerful.

Zidane's Theme First time played when you leave from Dali with the cargoship (at "oh soft" part ;))

Pandemonium

Zidane's Theme

Zidanes theme

Zidane's theme

Is this going to be ubdated any time soon?

Would be nice....

Pandemonium

Zidane's Theme for me. I wasn't too particular on the Pandemonium theme, i usually think of it as the annoying theme right before You're Not Alone :P

When is each poll over

Pandemonium

I'll dash off a message to the rumble manager and see what's going on. Bryan had been managing, but OSFM is back now, so I'll see if we can get things straightened out.

Xander should be sorting it out soon, I would have thought.

Xander has a lot on his plate at this precise moment in time so you are gonna have to give him till tomorrow to sort it.

Okay, we'll be glad to stand by. Thanks.

Here we go

First up in round 2

Eternal Harvest- This is Where Freya takes her shot at becoming the next Michael Flatley. A very upbeat number. It does kinda sound like an irish Jig. But a song that is hard to hate none the less. Although just after they finish Dancing to this. Clerya does like dissapear

vs

Kingdom of Burmecia-As expected for a land of eternal rain which has been destroyed. The music for it is pretty mellow and somewhat chilling but it is very appropriate for the town its played in.

My vote will stay with Eternal Harvest as its one of my favorites from the game

Kingdom of Burmecia. It's dark and atmospheric.

Kingdom of Burmecia-My favorite FF track

I dont know why but i will pick Eternal Harvest i cant remember the other one

Kingdom of Burmecia. It's dark and atmospheric.

kingdom of burmecia

Kingdom of Burmecia. It's dark and atmospheric.

Kingdom of Burmecia

Kingdom of Burmecia. It's dark and atmospheric.

Kingdom of Burmecia

I'm not really fond of both themes, but I found Eternal Harvest less irritating.

Eternal Harvest

Eternal Harvest

Eternal Harvest

Kingdom Of Burmecia

Eternal Harvest

Kingdom of Burmecia

for ppl that cant remember the music go:

http://www.ffshrine.org/ff9/ff9_midi.php

Midis ;)

Kingdom of Burmecia. It's dark and atmospheric.

Ok results are in

Eternal Harvest- 7


Kingdom of Burmecia- 12

So the end of Freyas tap dancing days are here as she gets blown out of the water by her comeptition.

Next up

Mystery sword- This theme needs no more said about it then. Its Beatrixs theme.

vs

Slew of Love letters-As the name suggests this is the theme which plays during which you see Eiko waiting for Zidane to come along because of her love letter. But Blank and Marcus turn up. Then the three of them go in to hiding as both Stenier and Beatrix appear and Almost proclaim thier love for each other but are stopped by Baku.

This is a tough choice to make, but the love letter scene was so amusing, and the music matches the sequence perfectly.

Slew of Love letters.

As much as I love the love letter scene, there isn't an FF9 tune in existance that outranks Mystery sword.

Mystery sword. Its in my top list but i think Loss of me is better

Mystery sword-The opening "Bam bam bam baammm bam bam!!" is great. Plus it`s just a fantastic track overall ;(

Mystery sword-The opening "Bam bam bam baammm bam bam!!" is great. Plus it`s just a fantastic track overall ;(

Seeing as I found the letter scene one of the funniest scenes in the game I pick Slew of Love Letters

This is a tough choice to make, but the love letter scene was so amusing, and the music matches the sequence perfectly.

Slew of Love letters.

Mystery Sword, but SOLL is wonderful too.

Both are brilliant, but I'm also going with Mystery Sword.

Mystery sword I thought Rose of May was Beatrix's theme.

Something I got confused about too --- apparently the tune goes by more than one name.

A tough one, but I will have to go with Mystery Sword.

Mystery sword

Ok results are in and they are as follows.

Mystery Sword-10

Slew of love letters-5

So Mystery sword wins over the smooshy love tune.

Next up

Ambush Attack- This powerful piece is played when you see the Alexandrians attack Clerya and you are trying to save the people. Its also played when you are trying to escape Alexandria and have control of Beatrix.

vs

Terra-The tune played when you arrive on Terra, this is also an excellent choice. It really enhances the feeling that you are on another world.

My vote is for Ambush Attack

Both are great but I'll go with Terra 'cos it's a beautiful piece of music.

Terra

Ambush Attack

Both are great but I'll go with Terra 'cos it's a beautiful piece of music.

Ambush Attack

Terra. The most beautiful and athmospheric fitting theme.

Terra

ok Im gonna leave this for another day. as 7 is a pretty low number for this rumble.

Both are great but I'll go with Terra 'cos it's a beautiful piece of music.

Terra

Ambush Attack

Ok the results are here.

Ambush attack-4
Terra-7

With 7-4 Terra wins this one

Ok next up

Song of Memory- This is probably Garnets theme. It is heard in Lindblum When Zidane can not find Garnet. She is up on the roof singing it. The only words in it are "la la la la la" but it is a very moving piece all the same.

vs

Vamo Allo Flamenco- This is the theme played during Blank and Zidanes "sword fight" which is done merely to impress Brahne and gain you some gill or an item. As the name suggests it has quite a spanish feel to it. But a catchy number none the less.

Vamo Allo Flamenco

Vamo Allo Flamenco

Vamo Allo Flamenco

Vamo Allo Flamenco

Song Of Memories (first time I heard it, it was just so enjoyable, can even consider it better than Melodies Of Life, even though this version has no lyrics).

Vamo Allo Flamenco

Vamo Allo Flamenco also plays when your'e doing the Chocobo Hot and Cold game. And it's for that reason I'm voting against it --- eventually it started to get old. Song of Memories --- I thought it was really nice, especially when it played in the ending.

Vamo Allo Flamenco

Vamo Allo Flamenco
i hate Song of Memories

Vamo Allo Flamenco

Song Of Memories (first time I heard it, it was just so enjoyable, can even consider it better than Melodies Of Life, even though this version has no lyrics).

It is peaceful and relaxing.

Vamo Allo Flamenco also plays when your'e doing the Chocobo Hot and Cold game. And it's for that reason I'm voting against it --- eventually it started to get old. Song of Memories --- I thought it was really nice, especially when it played in the ending.

Ok this is a short battle.

Songs of Memory- 4 + my vote makes 5

Vamo Alla Flamenco- 8

so The spanish song beats Garnets lil ballard.

Next up

Battle Theme-The most important theme of any Final Fantasy game really. The theme played everytime you enter a normal battle. It is quite an upbeat one as always and probably my favorite battle theme.

vs

Kujas theme-The Big bad guys theme. PLayed when ever Kuja has something to do with wherever you are in the game. Not the most Sinister of themes. But then Again Kuja wears a thong so its understandable.

I'm going for Kuja's Theme --- it may not have been the most sinister of themes, but it was still reasonably decent.

Battle Theme, I quite like it.

Kuja's Theme. The piano was repetitive but nice.

Kujas theme

Battle theme

Battle Theme

Kuja's Theme drove me nuts, especially the Desert Palace remix.

Best FF battle theme~

ok lets rack em up

Battle Theme- 5 + 1 (my own)

Kujas theme- 6

As we have a tie. Im gonna go for the one that was voted last this time. Meaning Battle theme advances on.

Next up

Crossing those hills- This is the world map theme. This gets played everytime you go on to the world map. Its is a light hearted melody and is quite relaxing.

vs

Tantalus theme- This is a rather catchy and somewhat cheesy tune. I like it though, it has an air of warmth to it

Tantalus theme

Tantalus theme

Crossing Those Hills. A huge improvement over the Blue Fields world map theme from the previous game. Tantalus Theme was pretty cool, but I like Crossing Those Hills better.

Crossing those hills

Crossing Those Hills. One of the best songs from FF, imo.

Crossing Those Hills

Crossing Those Hills

Tantalus Theme

Tantalus theme

Tantalus theme

ok here we go. Results are in

Crossing those hills- 5

Tantalus theme- 5

So we have a draw. I havent voted yet so im gonna say Crossing those hills making that the winner.

Next up

Steiners Theme- A rather comical theme, but an enjoyable one nonetheless, it is to be heard a number of times through the game

vs

Zidanes ThemeQuite a rare theme, only heard on the Cargo ship I believe, when Zidane grabs Daggers ass I believe

So its rusty versus Monkey boy. Who will win? only you decide. MWAH HA HA

What a tough battle. The comic Steiner's Theme makes for some good entertainment. Still, I really like the joyful quality of Zidane's Theme and it's special since you only get to hear it once in the game. Zidane's Theme

Zidanes theme-4

Steiners theme-5

Ok so Steiners theme Nudges the win there,

the last round before the semi finals

Extraction-Another Theme which involves Zorn and Thorn. This is the theme played when they extract the Eidilons from Garnet and attempt to extract them from Eiko as well.

vs

Quinas theme-Not really an explaination needed here. Its pretty self explainitory.

Extraction only just.

Quina's theme only just.

Extraction please.

I'll go for Extraction.

I'm gonna go with Extraction.

Extraction please.

QUINA'S THEME FOR THE WIN!!!!!!! :O

QUINA'S THEME FOR THE WIN!!!!!!! :O

QUINA'S THEME FOR THE WIN!!!!!!! :O

Extraction

Extraction- 7

Quinas Theme-5 + 1 makes 6

So extraction sneaks through and advances to the next round.

Which we are on now. This is the quarter finals.

A few themes which I thought would have gone are still in it and others I thought would have stayed are gone. But oh well.

First up

Battle theme

Crossing those hills

Im voting for battle theme as I dont wanna see it knocked out just yet.

Battle theme

Battle Theme, oh yes...

I'm having difficulty choosing but I'll go with Battle Theme based on what mood I am in.

Crossing Those Hills, definitely.

Mystery Sword

vs

Terra

I have been sticking with Mystery Theme the whole way through that aint changing now.

Terra is beautiful but Mystery Sword gets my vote

terra gets meh vote

Mystery Sword I guess...

Terra

Mystery Sword

I finally figured out what Mystery Sword is --- it's not what I had been thinking of. It's the theme that plays when you battle her, not the one that plays when you see her on the Red Rose and later with the scenes with Baku.

This is the tough choice, both are strong themes. I think I'll go with Terra.

Mystery Sword

This is the tough choice, both are strong themes. I think I'll go with Terra.

Mystery Sword

This is the tough choice, both are strong themes. I think I'll go with Mystery Sword.

Terra is beautiful but Mystery Sword gets my vote

Alright lets keep this rolling.

So Mystery sword slices its way past Terra in to the Semi final.

Next up

Vamo alla flamenco

vs

Extraction

Im gonna go for Vamo Alla Flamenco

Vamo Alla Flamenco

Vamo alla flamenco

Vamo Alla Flamenco. A very very catchy tune.

Vamo Alla Flamenco

Vamo alla flamenco, only because Extraction was rather lamish.

Vamo alla flamenco

Vama alla flamenco

Extraction just cannot be compared to Vamo Alla Flamenco

Extraction

OK votes are in.

Vamo Alla Flamenco- 9

Extraction- 1

So extraction has just been extracted out the comeptition.

Last up in this quarter final

Kingdom of Burmecia

vs

Steiners theme

Im gonna back Burmecia As I like the theme a lot.

Steiner's Theme --- let's see if this one can hang in there.

Kingdom of Burmecia

Both good themes. I like Steiner's Theme more than Burmecia.

Both good themes. I like Steiner's Theme more than Burmecia.

oops

Both good themes. I like Steiner's Theme more than Burmecia.

Steiner's Theme --- let's see if this one can hang in there.

Vamo Alla Flamenco

Mystery Sword

Heres the first of the two semis. While you are casting your votes in this battle. Suggest ideas for the next rumble to. Im open to anything. Try think outside the box a bit.

Notching up one vote for Mystery sword here

Mystery Sword-BA DA DA DAAA DA DAAAAAAA!

Vamo Alla Flamenco

Mystery Sword, easily. Not even a contest for me, really.

Mystery Sword-BA DA DA DAAA DA DAAAAAAA!

Mystery Sword

Mystery Sword- 6

Vama Alla Flamenco- 1

So Beatrix once again slashes her way and takes the first of the final slots.

Now the final Semi

Battle Theme

Vs

Steiners Theme

Ok guys as this battle is nearing an end. Im gonna ahve to get a new one sorted. I was thinking of maybe doing accesories to try and do something different. But if you have any other suggestions let me know. Im thinking. Either accesories or weapons. As they havent been done before.

My vote is for Battle theme

Steiner's Theme

Also I think an Accesories/Weapons Rumble would be great, especially for IX.

Steiners Theme

We can do a lot of battles together, like in the general final fantasy rumble.

Battle Theme

Battle Theme

Battle Theme.

Steiners Theme

Battle theme

Steiner's Theme --- I have no particular attachment to this game's battle theme.

Sorry Steiner :(

Battle theme-It just never gets repetitive unlike most other battle themes.

Steiners Theme

Steiner's Theme.

Steiner's Theme.

Ok results are in.

Battle Theme- 6

Steiners Theme- 7

So Steiners theme pulls through for the second place in the final.

Here comes the long awaited Final.

Mystery Sword

vs

Steiners Theme

Mystery Sword is my choice for the final winner.

If anyone has no other suggestions im gonna do a combined Weapons/Accesories rumble.

Lets get it on

Mystery Sword gets the vote here, but only barely.


Combined Weapons/Accessories is fine with me.

Mystery Sword gets the vote here, but only barely.


Combined Weapons/Accessories is fine with me.

Steiner's Theme

Both are fantastic but i`ll go for Mystery Sword

I'll stay strong with Steiner's Theme.

Mystery Sword, because steiner's theme turned boring after so many times hearing it throughout the game. (its still a great theme for me)

Loss of Me was ot in this themes rumble? :(

No when I drew the contestants randomly, Loss of me was not chosen sorry.

Mystery Sword

Steiner's Theme. Still so lovely bombastic, and yet slow but comical, it's here for the win.

Ok im still at my mates house so i cant start the new rumble off yet.So im gonna leave it running till tomorrow night, Then I will end this one and have the new one up.

Sry for double post.

Guys for the next couple of hours. Suggest any weapons or accessories you want to see in the rumble. This one has a bit of an interesting change to it. Only one of ya knows what it is. The rest will just have to wait and see. So lets get those suggestions rolling.

Weapons:

The Ogre
Ultima Weapon
Excalibur
Excalibur II
Tiger Racket
High Mage Staff
Mace of Zeus
Blood Sword
Holy Lance
Dragons Hair
Angel Flute
Kaiser Claws

Accessories:

Pumice Piece
Robe of Lords
White Robe
Black Robe
Rebirth Ring
Rosetta Ring
Angel Earrings
Ribbon

to name a few~

OK lets End this

Mystery Sword-6

Steiners Theme-3

So Mystery Sword Takes the rumble. Smashing its way through all of its opponants to take the title. Thanks for all the votes. But it doesnt stop there. As the next one is getting started right now.

Weapons/Accessories Rumble Is getting under way.

The way this one is going to run is. I have 32 weapons and 16 Accessories I will run them both at the same time. So its obvious the Accessories will be finished before. But once they are both finished and we have our winners. There will be a little face off. The top 4 weapons vs the top 4 Accessories Should make it more interesting to see who is crowned Champion then.

So the first two Battles are about to start now.

In the Weapons Category first up we have

Cats Claws(Amarant) These are his intial Equip so as you can imagine are pretty weak. They allow him to learn the abilities Chakra and Counter.

vs

Hamelin(Eiko) This flute for Eiko allows her to learn the Abilities Curaga, Might and Jewel. It is by no means one of her best flutes. But the abilities Curaga and Might can come in very handy

And in the Accessories category we have

Pearl Rouge As far as I can remember you can only make one of these in the entire game as it requires a moonstone. It can learn you some powerful Abilities though. They are Level Up, Reflect Null and Loudmouth.

vs

Black Robe This Robe is probably the most Beneficial to Vivi but can be equiped to a few people. It comes with the Abilities Flare, MP+20% and Reflectx2

Lets see how this works then.

Remember you are voting for 2 sets now not just one.

Weapon Hamelin Accessory Black Robe are my choices for this round.

Shrine went blah and posted the same thing twice.

Hamelin and Black Robe, cos useful.

Hamelin and Black Robe also.

Hamelin and Black Robe mainly because I used both.

Just adding to the resounding chorus so far for Hamelin and Black Robe.

Hamelin and Black Robe, cos useful.

Hamelin and Black Robe also.

Hamelin and Black Robe also.

Hamelin and Black Robe of course

Weapon -Cats claws
Accessory-Black Robe

ok results are in.

Weapons

Cats Claws- 1

Hamelin- 9

OK so almost a complete landslide for Eikos Flute Hamelin but Denny saves the Cat Claws from a total washout. But Hamelin still wins.

Accessories

Pearl Rouge- 0

Black Robe- 10

Obviously the Pearl rouge REALLY wasn liked. As it just got its glass bottle ass completly smashed by the black robe.

Next up.

Weapons

Coral Sword- So now we have an entry from Steiners weaponry. This one is embued with the element of thunder and allows him to learn the Ability "Charge"

vs

Holy Lance- Freya also enters the rumble for the first time with her Holy Lance. As you'd expect it is embued with the power of Holy and Allows Freya to learn the abilities. Reis Wind and Dragon Crest. Which is probably her most powerful attack in the game.

And in the Armour Category we have.

Rebirth Ring- A kinda of an obvious acessory really. It doesnt take a genious to figure out what it can do. But what the hell here we go. You can learn from this beauty. Auto-Life and Revive. So a useful thing for even the more expert of players.

vs

Rosetta Ring- I personally found this an item that was not really of much use to me personally. It allows you to learn. Level up, Reflect x2 and Concentrate.

Ok I think this time im going for Holy Lance and Rebirth Ring. Also This rumble may take me a day or so longer to update then normal. As im finding out what every item does on the game itself instead of just reading it up on an FAQ. So just bear with me guys and gals.

Now lets get it on.

Holy Lance and Rebirth Ring.

Dragon Crest owns and Auto-Life and Revive are really useful.

BTW, you voted for the Ice Lance, but it's not one of the choices?

Holy Lance and Rosetta Ring, cos more useful.

hehe whoops sorry. I havent slept properly for days:P

holy lance and rosetta

Holy Lance and Rebirth Ring

Holy Lance and Rebirth Ring

Holy Lance and Rebirth Ring

Rebirth Ring

and

Holy Lance

Also, Agent i thought Cherry Blossom was way more powerful than Dragon Crest?_?
