Mideel - 12
S7 Slums - 11
Ancient forest - 7

So Corel Prison, Highwind, Shinra Mansion, Mideel, Gold Saucer + Gelnika are no longer in the running.

Thanks to all the votes received muchly appreciated.

First two to battle it out are.

S7 Slums

vs

Temple of The Ancients

Im guessin you dont need descriptions to them by now.

Lets start this battle off.

Im gonna go for what I think could be a dark horse and say S7 Slums

I can't support the "Dark Horse" here. Temple of the Ancients for me.

Temple of the Ancients.

S7 Slums

Temple of The Ancients

Temple of the Ancients

S7 Slums.

Sector 7 Slums

Sector 7 Slums

actually voting for it this time..

Temple of the Ancients is like a worse rendition of Turoks environment

Temple of the Ancients no question. Awesome music, and also the fact that I wanna kill either Midgar or S7 Slums so they don't end up against each other again...

Temple of the Ancients, I guess.

Temple of the Ancients

Temple Of The Ancients

S7 Slums because it's famous for the Cloti scenes.

Tough one. I'm going for the Temple of the Ancients, because of the boss fights there, which were pretty cool.

S7 slums (S7S)
aint seen it in time, i miss it

Temple of the Ancients.

S7 Slums

S7 Slums

Temple of the Ancients.

S7 Slums

whats this thread about, i tried reading through the first pages and the last ones and still couldnt figure it out.

You know, given that there's no rules explanation in the first post, and it was a while before things got started in the thread, I'm actually inclined to answer this question seriously.

brayd, just look for the most recent post by Baby Boink (it's on the previous page) and cast a vote for one of the two choice he lists.

ok thx, umm ill have to go with s7 slums.

Temple of the Ancients - Cuz Demons Gate Rocks.

Sector 7 Slums

Temple Of The Ancients was great for picking up items like Ribbon, Princess Guard and Bahamut, but other than that, i found it quite annoying. especially the Escher painting look-a-like maze in the beginning.

Once again apologies and all that crap.

Lets see how the votes count up.

S7 Slum - 12

Temple Of The Ancients - 12

My word we have a Tie. So I will settle this by Pm'in one of the people who vote in the rumble. This time round the deciding vote goes to.... Arcanine


So I will send off the Pm to Him/Her(Not sure which Sorry) now and then post the result once I have it.

Can't you just flip a coin, or a more effective way of solving this since there is no way of knowing when they'll be back on this forum, unless you talk to them on MSN or something like that...

Yeah, either that or pick a new person to decide...

Temple of the Ancients

happy ending. :)

Sorry I have been away was my birthday friday and have only just recovered.

Hawkeye I am trying to make things a bit different so im using my own way of tie breaking.

But we have a winner anyways.

Temple of the Ancients win it with a late vote from Pizzalix.

Next up we have

Ancient Forest

vs

Wutai

My vote this time is Wutai gotta stay loyal to Yuffie.

:* Happy birthday!

Wutai.

Wutai.

i never knew xander =/ happy belated in any event.

Ancient Forest, as Wutai is pretty boring.

Wutai, which isn't boring. The Ancient Forest is boring.

Wutai cause it's cool and to clear up the Ancient Forest/Sleeping forest crap.

EDIT: Is this still the sleeping forest? or is it the ACTUAL ancient forest now?

Ancient Forest

Wutai, only just though. Two generally dull locations.

Incidentally hb to you Xander. You should consider using sudden death to end ties, btw.

Ancient Forest

Wutai

Wutai, gotta love yuffie and her awesome ninjitsu skills, also the scenery sorta calms you down a lil.

Ancient Forest

Wutai

It's cool Baby Boink. Happy 21st B-day btw.

Anyway here's my vote.


Ancient Forest

I like Wutai, but I'm going with Ancient Forest.

Wutai, which isn't boring. The Ancient Forest is boring.

Ancient Forest

Wutai

Wutai

Wutai.

Wutai

Right lets see what we have here.

Ancient Forest - 6

Wutai - 14

So an easy win for Wutai there.

Next up we have...

Cosmo Canyon

vs

Midgar

Right now we have two completely different towns.

Which will prevail.

Midgar which I surprise even myself with but I have been finding Cosmo Canyon tedious of late.

Cosmo Canyon

Cosmo Canyon!

Cosmo Canyon

Midgar, cosmo canyon is a little too boring, the only cool part there are the boss battles in the cave.

Midgar

I just love the atmosphere of the place.

Midgar, though it's more a vote against Cosmo Canyon, which really isn't all that great.

Now that S7 slums has been killed off I can freely say Midgar.

Midgar

Midgar

Midgar.

Cosmo Canyon, as sells HP Plus Materia.

Midgar

I just love the atmosphere of the place.

Cosmo Canyon

Midgar, for the same reasons as before.

Right lets end this. Sorry was on before but it escaped me to update for some reason.

Midgar - 11

Cosmo Canyon - 5

So the Karmic central of FFVII Land is no longer in the running while pollution central lives on to destroy the planet that little bit longer.

So Temple of the Ancients, Wutal and Midgar go through to the Semi Final.

Now in this round your voting for who you DONT want to see in the final. One vote each.

Temple Of The Ancients

vs

Wutai

vs

Midgar

Right I dont wish to see Midgar in the final as im bored of it always being there.

Midgar won the last location rumble so kill it. And I didn't like the idea of having it here in the first place along with S7 Slums as a separate option.

ill have to go with midgar too, even though i dont like temple of the ancients any more, but midgar is a little dark and too many bad memories.

Temple of the Ancients.

Temple of the Ancients.

Midgar


Wish or not, if Midgar is better, Midgar is better.

Midgar for me, too.

Temple Of The Ancients

I'm gonna vote to kill off Midgar -- this is a strategy vote.

Midgar.

Midgar

I'm gonna vote to kill off Midgar -- this is a strategy vote.

YES! =D

Temple Of The Ancients

Temple of the Ancients

Midgar

Temple of The Ancients

Right Ill end this now so we can have the final battle underway over the weekend.

Midgar is out.

So the final is

Wutai

Vs

Temple Of The Ancients

Da Chao Statue, Leviathan materia, Turks, Yuffies father, and Don Corneo oh my. Gotta be Wutai for me.

Also any ideas/suggestions for the next category to go through a rumble, Post em with your vote.

Wutai.

Wutai

Temple Of The Ancients

Da-chao Statue and Leviathan will be ashamed if you don't vote for Wutai. :)


(Have we done quotes yet?)

Wutai for the surprising win. :D

Wutai

Temple of the Ancients.

Wutai for the surprising win. :D

Wutai for the surprising win. :D

Wutai.

wutai, the obvious winner this time.

Wutai

Def Wutai

Wutai
How the hell did midgar lose to temple of the ancients btw?

Temple of the Ancients.

Wutai

Wutai
How the hell did midgar lose to temple of the ancients btw?

So Wutai could win! =D

Edit: For next topic, I would (again) go for Notable NPCs

Wutai. Close one though

17 votes makes Wutai the clear winner here this time.

So for the first category rumble our winner is.

WUTAI

Thanks for voting everyone.

Now I want everyone just to post what they would like as the next rumble.

Skunk Agent did one of them in the General Rumble not long ago and we had a FFVII winner there. Jessie IIRC

Also as im doing it in the FFVIII rumble I would like a bit of variation.

I really do think this game has a lot of great dialogue, and so I repeat my nomination of Notable Quotes.


Oh, and I think Jessie may have been the Most Underrated Character, but, yeah, it still applies.

Yeah, I'll go with Notable Quotes aswell. There is some good stuff throughout the game.

Some great dialogue in places so I too will be going with notable quotes

I really do think this game has a lot of great dialogue, and so I repeat my nomination of Notable Quotes.

I go with what agent said since I don't know what's been done.

Naturally I say Music.

Music would be good.

How the crap did the complete non-location that is Wutai win?

I vote Music for next rumble, by the way.

How the crap did the complete non-location that is Wutai win?

I vote Music for next rumble, by the way.

Hmm. Music

Music would be a great next rumble.

I guess I'll throw my lot in with Music instead, also, since at this point it seems highly unlikely that any other choice could pull ahead.

Music as well

Ill stick with the quotes
even though Music would be good.

(didn't see that I already posted my choice for the new rumble. Please delete this post)

Music or Notable Quotes

I really do think this game has a lot of great dialogue, and so I repeat my nomination of Notable Quotes.

Oh well, I didn't really browse the history of the rumbles, so Quotes would be nice...

I already threw my vote behind Music instead, which seems to be the clear winner. I think at this point we're just waiting for the new edition to start.

Right I will do music, But before it starts I will tell everyone I am eliminating One Winged Angel from the competition cause its bound to win as always.

Right here is the list of songs we have

J-E-N-O-V-A
Descendants of the Shinobi
Crazy MotorCycle
Aeris's Theme
Electic De Chocobo
Still More Fighting
Weapon Raid
Hurry Faster
Turks Theme
The Flow Of Life
Valley Of The Fallen Star
Sending A Dream Into The Universe
Birth Of A God
The Nightmare Begins
Interrupted By Fireworks
Stolen Materia
Reunion
Jenova Absolute
The Edge Of Despair
The Mark Of a Traitor
Cids Theme
Highwind Takes To The Skies
Trail Of Blood
Its Difficult To Stand On Both Feet, Isnt It?

Right chosen through Random determination there is quite a mix in there.

First two chosen to compete are

Electric De ChocoboListen Here (http://gh.ffshrine.org/files/ps1/Final%20Fantasy%207/electric_de_chocobo.mid) This is the theme played when you have to capture a chocobo from battle.

vs

Descendent of the Shinobi Listen Here (http://bluelaguna.net/downloads/mp3s/ff7music/48+-+Descendent+of+the+Shinobi.mp3) This is Yuffies theme, Played when you meet her for the first time and also After she has completed the Pagoda Challenge.

With the second link if it asks you to download hit cancel and refresh the link, Right I declare the next edition of the FFVII Rumble open so start voting.

Electric De Chocobo for me as I love that theme and have prolonged Chocobo battles in the past to Listen to it.

I'd have voted against One Winged Angel regardless and I bet a lot of people here are sick of it as well. But alright, awesome selection.

Electric De Chocobo. Same reason, I've also done that.

I was hoping to nominate as well but I'm pretty happy with the results except for the lack of "The Forested Temple" and "Opening-Bombing Mission"

Electric de Chocobo. Surprisingly, this theme doesn't cave my head in over and over unlike some of them.

Descendent of the Shinobi.

I was hoping we'd be allowed to make nominations... (No, I would not have nominated "One Winged Angel," of course not, but I would have nominated "On the Other Side of the Mountain.")


They're both reasonably decent, but I love me some Descendant of the Shinobi (Yuffie's Theme.)

Descendent of the Shinobi for me.

Descendent of the Shinobi

Descendent of the Shinobi

Descendent of the Shinobi

I personally would have nominated Mako Reactor, Anxiouis Heart, Flowers Blooming in the Church(because it's better than Aeris' Theme), and Holding My Thoughts in my Heart/ Head.

But I go with Electric de Chocobo to spite Agent and his love for Yuffie...Hate her so much...

Electric de Chocobo, heard it so often it used to feature in my dreams..

I like Yuffie but ill have to go with Electric de Chocobo.

Descendent of the Shinobi

Descendent of the Shinobi

Because I'm sick of hearing the Chocobo theme in every game repeat itself again and again and again...

Because I'm sick of hearing the Chocobo theme in every game repeat itself again and again and again...

*claps exhuberantly*

Thank You.

Descendent of the Shinobi

good good song

Descendant Of The Shinobi

Because there are too many chocobo themes in this game.

Descendant of the Shinobi

Because it's great for listening to repeatedly, whereas Electric de Chocobo gets boring after a few plays.

I also wish we could have nominated tunes, or at least had an elimination round. Quite a few of my favourites missing from that list.

Descendant of the Shinobi

Because I generally like Yuffie

Descendent of the Shinobi

good good song

Descendant of the Shinobi, It's hard to not like this piece of music.

Right lets see how the first battle ended shall we?

Electric De Chocobo - 7

Descendant of the Shinobi - 14

Well the first Battle is a big win for Yuffies theme (Descendant of the Shinobi)

Next up we see

Interupted By FireworksListen Here (http://lamda.bluelaguna.net/ff7music/60%20-%20Interrupted%20by%20Fireworks.mp3) - This theme is played in other places im sure but the example im going to use is, When Aeris's (Or Tifa, Or Barret) Go on a date and go for the Gondola ride, She starts talking about intimate memories then plays it off as a joke, Romantic Scene.

Against

Hurry Faster Listen Here (http://lamda.bluelaguna.net/ff7music/75%20-%20Hurry%20Faster.mp3) - This theme is played in a lot of places it creates a sense of impending doom really, One example I can think of is when you take on the Battle challenge in Golden Saucer, It is played there.

This time I may go for Hurry Faster I just prefered it to Hurry faster.

This is a very tough call, as both themes have their merits and flaws... Interrupted by Fireworks is a beautiful theme, but I generally love battle-like themes and danger themes (except they sound awful like most of the Megaman Battle Network ones), so I have to go with...

Hurry Faster

Gotta call Hurry Faster on this one. For some reason it always gets me to finish whatever I was doing quickly...

Interrupted by Fireworks though both are great.

Hurry Faster

Since Interrupted by Fireworks is also played before the first Cait Sith "Dies" in an attempt to make you feel sorry for that little backstabber.

And who gets tired of battle music?

Interrupted by Fireworks

Tough choice.... but I generally am pulled more toward battle music so Hurry Faster is my pick

This is a very tough call, as both themes have their merits and flaws... Interrupted by Fireworks is a beautiful theme, but I generally love battle-like themes and danger themes (except they sound awful like most of the Megaman Battle Network ones), so I have to go with...

Hurry Faster

This time I may go for Hurry Faster I just prefered it to Hurry faster.

Um.... rephrase? lol

Sorry about the confusion with the bold in the quote but I'm going with Interrupted by Fireworks.

Interrupted by Fireworks really fitted the scenes in which it was used well -- I like music that listening to can trigger memories of scenes from the game (or other media with which it's associated.)

Interrupted by Fireworks

Hurry Faster because I don't remember Fireworks, tbh...

Hurry Faster

Battle music, ftw :p

Interrupted by Fireworks really fitted the scenes in which it was used well -- I like music that listening to can trigger memories of scenes from the game (or other media with which it's associated.)

Interupted By Fireworks

Interupted By Fireworks

Interupted By Fireworks Best Song Ever Almost

Interrupted by Fireworks

Interrupted by Fireworks

Interrupted by Fireworks.

Right lets see how they faired up.

Hurry Faster - 8

Interrupted by Fireworks - 12

Right Interrupted by Fireworks goes through, Next up we have

Next up is

Birth Of A God - This is the theme played when you square up against Bizarro Sephiroth

vs

Crazy Motercycle - This is the theme played when you engage in the motercycle game, Kinda self explanitory really.

Sorry for not putting in links im busy today.

Birth of a god for me as I actually consider it a good fitting piece of music and quite enjoy it, Regardless of the fact its got to do with Sephiroth.

Birth of a God.

I liked all the music pieces used for those final battles. ; ;

Crazy Motorcycle

Crazy Motorcycle

Birth of a God because THAT should be the hyped song, not One Winged Angel.

Almost any other piece I would have chosen the motorcycle though.

Crazy Motorcycle

Ditto

That entire scene at the Shinra building was fantastic. Genuinely exciting.

I think Birth of a God is good enough for me to vote for it and keep this one interesting. I liked it better than One Winged Angel.

You know it... Birth of a God

This could be pretty tight...Crazy Motorcycle

Crazy Motorcycle

Birth of a God

Bizarro Sephiroth music was pretty good i thought.

Crazy Motorcycle

That entire scene at the Shinra building was fantastic. Genuinely exciting.

Birth Of A God

Birth Of A God

Birth of A God

It saddens me how overlooked this neat number is in comparion to the hugely over-rated One Wing Angel.

Crazy Motorcycle

Unlike others here, I'm not a huge fan of either, but I'll go for Birth of a God.

Crazy Motorcycle. :D Birth of a God is a splendid theme too, though.

Birth Of A God

Right lets see how they rack up.

Birth of a god - 11

Crazy Motorcycle - 8

So high number of votes for crazy Moter cycle but it just wasn enough.

Next battle is between

Its hard to stand on both feet isn't it? - Listen Here (http://lamda.bluelaguna.net/ff7music/35%20-%20Its%20Difficult%20to%20Stand%20on%20Both%20Feet %20Isnt%20It.mp3) - This Is a theme that doesnt really stand out much from the game but its still a pretty good theme.

vs

The Mark of a Traitor - Listen Here (http://delta.bluelaguna.net/ff7music/40%20-%20Mark%20of%20a%20Traitor.mp3) I made a mistake this is the theme that plays in Corel town.

My vote is going to be for Its hard to stand on both feet, Isn't it? as I dont think it actually gains enough recognition as a song itself. It just seems to be there in the background.

The Mark of a Traitor

'Sandy Badlands' is the name of the Desert prison theme, iirc, while Mark of a Traitor is the theme of North Corel's slum-town. Anyway, Its hard to stand on both feet isn't it? gets my vote.

It's Difficult Standing on Both Feet, Isn't It?. I remember way back when I first picked up FF, hearing that track in the game and spending months trying to figure out what it was called because I really liked it and it was among my favorites for a while.

It's Difficult Standing on Both Feet, Isn't It? It was played on the cargo ship right? I really enjoyed, either way. Also, I didn't like Corel all too much.

Mark of the Traitor.

The Mark of a Traitor

Its hard to stand on both feet isn't it? you gatta love that beat

The Mark of a Traitor is good but...

Its hard to stand on both feet isn't it? is way more interesting then the droll Mark of a Traitor.

The Mark of a Traitor

I adore It's Hard to Stand on Both Feet, Isn't It? Very cute, very fun.

Its hard to stand on both feet isn't it?

That's a tough one

BUT

Its hard to stand on both feet isn't it?

The Mark of a Traitor

Definitely It's Difficult to stand on Both Feet, Isn't it?

Mark of a Traitor is just too stagnant for me.

It's Difficult To Stand On Both Feet, Isn't It?

Wins by a mile.

The Mark of a Traitor

It's Difficult Standing on Both Feet, Isn't It?

Right sorry I have been absent, Dentistry problems.

Lets see the results.

Its hard to stand on two feet isnt it - 12

The Mark of a Traitor - 5

Next up we see

Aeris's Theme - Now we all know this, Aeris Dies Boo Hoo

vs

J-E-N-O-V-A - Again if you dont know this your a bit stupid.

Aeris's Theme for me has to be done.

J-E-N-O-V-A. Absolutely loved it.

Both are good themes. Gonna go with J-E-N-O-V-A though.

Really tough. Aeris's Theme to even it up. Both are deserving.

Slightly liking Aeris' Theme more.

J-E-N-O-V-A becasuse I hate Aeris and Aeris' Theme.

Aeris' Theme

More.......meaningful?

Yeahhh, i guess.

Aeris's Theme

Both are good themes. Gonna go with J-E-N-O-V-A though.

J-E-N-O-V-A

Because the Jenova battle with Aeris' Theme just didn't seem right.

J-E-N-O-V-A kinda sick of Aeris' Theme, it's almost as overhyped as One Winged Angel.

J-E-N-O-V-A

Very difficult choice, so much so I had to listen to both to make up my mind even though I've heard both umpteen times before.

Aeris's Theme gets it by a whisker.

Aeris's Theme, barely

Both fit so well in the game..gonna go with Aeris's Theme

J-E-N-O-V-A cause it's more upbeat.

Aeris's Theme

J-E-N-O-V-A, because it's the only FF7 tune I really liked... Aerith's Theme got too annoying for me.

Aeris's theme

Right this should be an interesting result

Aeris's Theme - 10

J-E-N-O-V-A - 10

Right we have a tie.

What im gonna do is if we have the exact number of votes again I will flip a coin but if one has more then the other this time round thats the winner.

Ironically im going to change my vote to J-E-N-O-V-A as I gave them both a listen and this one I actually found I prefered.

The only reason im re-calling the votes is because these are both major songs with a lot of support.

So that means, we have to vote again? Right, then I'll stay with JENOVA

JENOVA!

Im sticking to J-E-N-O-V-A

Aeris's Theme

JENOVA again.

Aeris' Theme again, although really, this could have been settled by sudden death or some other means.

Aww geez...
J-E-N-O-V-A

I agree with Ceidwad, sudden death would be easier...

Anyway, sticking with J-E-N-O-V-A

Aeris's Theme

JENOVA

Aeris' Theme

Aeris's Theme

J-E-N-O-V-A

J-E-N-O-V-A

Aeris' Theme again, although really, this could have been settled by sudden death or some other means.

No offense but I didn ask for your opinion, Its noted but I choose to run my rumble the way I like.

Oh, we're voting again? I didn't even realize. Still with Aeris's Theme, I guess.

Jenova

Once again, Aeris's Theme because it's my favorite theme in the game.

Jenova, easily

Again? It's still J-E-N-O-V-A since it's more upbeat.

J-E-N-O-V-A for me.

Didn't see that this battle had been re-done. Aeris's Theme

J-E-N-O-V-A, i suppose.

Aeris's Theme

All right, does anyone know what happened to Baby Boink? It's been nearly three weeks since this battle first started and two since he called for a revote. According to his profile, he hasn't been on the Shrine since a couple weeks ago. I'm not sure if his user title is indicative of his having decided to leave the Shrine or what, but I'm starting to think that we may be in the market for somebody else to take over this.

I'm down for doing it, and I have no idea where he is.

Yeah. I also volunteer to carry it on if needs be.

I wonder where he is, it would be weird if his user title is actually serious. But i dunno.
