Boss Battle 9-1 Esper

Boss Battle goes through by a landslide. Will it do as well in Round 2? Time will tell.

Just two battles to go in this round then:

418 - Ending Movie

Listen here (http://delta.bluelaguna.net/final-fantasy-xii-12-ost-soundtrack/418%20Ending%20Movie.mp3) Pretty self-explanatory. Similar to the Opening Movie in that is a medley of a variation of tracks used throughout the game, with some original stuff mixed in.

vs.

318 - The Salikawood

Listen here (http://delta.bluelaguna.net/final-fantasy-xii-12-ost-soundtrack/318%20The%20Salikawood.mp3) It plays in the Salikawood, as you might have guessed.

Onto the last battle of the round:

305 - Desperate Fight

Listen here (http://delta.bluelaguna.net/final-fantasy-xii-12-ost-soundtrack/305%20Desperate%20Fight.mp3) Another of the game's boss themes. Plays for the first time when you fight Ghis, if I recall.

vs.

307 - Ozmone Plains

Listen here (http://delta.bluelaguna.net/final-fantasy-xii-12-ost-soundtrack/307%20Ozmone%20Plains.mp3) Self-explanatory.

OK, Round Two is about to start.

First up:

211 - Theme Of The Empire

Listen here (http://delta.bluelaguna.net/final-fantasy-xii-12-ost-soundtrack/211%20Theme%20of%20the%20Empire.mp3) The game's main theme, with several variations of it being played in different scenes. Scored the most votes in the elimnation round and a firm favourite amongst fans. First Round: 10-0 vs. Little Rascal. Tcs: 10

vs.

123 - Clan Headquarters

Listen here (http://delta.bluelaguna.net/final-fantasy-xii-12-ost-soundtrack/123%20Clan%20Headquarters.mp3) Plays in the clan headquarters, and also in the Royal Palace of Rabanastre. A very lively tune. First Round: 8-7 vs. Esper Battle. Tcs: 1

Well, it didn't win by knockout, but went through fairly comfortably nonetheless. Clan Headquarters deserves some credit for putting up a good fight though.

Next up:

107 - Secret Practice

Listen here (http://delta.bluelaguna.net/final-fantasy-xii-12-ost-soundtrack/107%20Secret%20Practice.mp3) A lively tune that plays during your very first battle with Vaan, against three Dire Rats. Starts off similar to the Balfonheim Port music, but goes in a different direction after the first few bars. First Round: 8-5 vs. A Speechless Battle. Tcs: 3.

vs.

317 - White Room

Listen here (http://delta.bluelaguna.net/final-fantasy-xii-12-ost-soundtrack/317%20White%20Room.mp3) May be called 'Reks's Theme' as it plays in most scenes involving him, or specifically Vaan's memories of him. Very wistful. First Round: 10-3 vs. A Land of Memories. Tcs: 7

Shrine's been being a temperamental bitch again lately, hence the late update.

Secret Practice 9-5 White Room

Not as close as I expected. Disappointed to see White Room go, but Secret Practice is a good track too.

Next battle:

319 - The Phon Coast

Listen here (http://delta.bluelaguna.net/final-fantasy-xii-12-ost-soundtrack/319%20The%20Phon%20Coast.mp3) Plays in the Phon Coast. Also plays during an FMV early on, when Vaan and Basch are introduced to the Strahl. First Round: 8-7 vs. The Beginning of the End. Tcs: 1

vs.

217 - The Skycity Of Bhujerba

Listen here (http://delta.bluelaguna.net/final-fantasy-xii-12-ost-soundtrack/217%20The%20Skycity%20of%20Bhujerba.mp3) The theme of Bhujerba. Also plays in the Nomad Village on Giza Plains, if I remember correctly. First Round: 12-2 vs. Chocobo FFXII Arrange Ver. 1. Tcs: 10

vs.

202 - Clash Of Swords

Listen here (http://delta.bluelaguna.net/final-fantasy-xii-12-ost-soundtrack/202%20Clash%20of%20Swords.mp3) Another of the game's many boss themes. First Round: 9-4 vs. Seeking Power. Tcs: 5

323 - Near The Water

Listen here (http://delta.bluelaguna.net/final-fantasy-xii-12-ost-soundtrack/323%20Near%20the%20Water.mp3) Plays in several locations, most of which are close to the sea, a river, etc. First Round: 13-1 vs. Giza Plains. Tcs: 12

418 - Ending Movie

Listen here (http://delta.bluelaguna.net/final-fantasy-xii-12-ost-soundtrack/418%20Ending%20Movie.mp3) Pretty self-explanatory. Similar to the Opening Movie in that is a medley of a variation of tracks used throughout the game, with some original stuff mixed in. First Round: 8-0 vs. The Salikawood. Tcs: 8

Symphonic Poem "Hope" -- of course, has been mentioned, the version that was included on XII's soundtrack is only a limited, compacted version of what plays during the closing credits of the game-- you have to buy an entirely separate album in order to get that version.

Oh BTW, Ceidwad, if you have trouble getting in, try http://67.19.221.50/~forums/ -- that's the direct IP address to get you into the boards if the DNS is acting up.

115 - Naivety

Listen here (http://bluelaguna.net/downloads/mp3s/final-fantasy-xii-12-ost-soundtrack/115+Naivety.mp3) The theme that plays on the Skyferries (public airships). First Round: 13-6 vs. Dalmasca Westersand; Second Round: 13-3 vs. Boss Battle. Tcs: 19.

The Phon Coast is a bit over-rated but the better of the two in my opinion.

Flux: Some people don't like Theme of the Empire much but I think it is probably the best track in the game. It certainly can't be described as 'mediocre' in my view as that implies something bland and dismal, which I don't think you could say ToTE was. Anyway, all subjective at the end of the day, so we'll agree to differ.

The Phon Coast 9-3 Symphonic Poem "Hope"

Two more votes for the Phon Coast would have gotten "Hope" a negative tcs for the 3rd/4th place playoff, which would have been funny. As it is, it gets off with the relatively minor indignity of a 9-3 semi-final defeat.

Second semi-final:
