Yeah, Mt. Gagazet.

Mt. Gagazet

Mt. Gagazet

Both are great...but Mt. Gagazet

Machine Faction's great and all, but I'm going to have to go with Mt Gagazet.

Right, clear washout.

Mt. Gagazet 6-0 Machine Faction

I must say, even though Mt. Gagazet was my vote and all, I'm surprised MF didn't get one.


Round 1 - Battle 13

Chocobo - Listen Here (http://delta.bluelaguna.net/ffx2music/2/07%20-%20Chocobo.mp3)

Not your average Chocobo theme... instead of recycling the old Chocobo theme like FFXII did despite having a new composer, here we have a fresh new Chocobo theme. Played when riding Chocobos, in the Chocobo ranch, and in oother Chocobo-related events. Really awesome catchy theme, though underappreciated due to the attachment to the old one.

VS.

Friendly Neighborhood Gullwings - Listen Here (http://delta.bluelaguna.net/ffx2music/2/12%20-%20Help%20Store%20-Seagull%20Group-.mp3)

One of the three Gullwings themes. Becomes the Celsius theme in Chapter 3 and later in Chapter 5 for part of the time where it randomly picks a theme when you board.

I'm going with Friendly Neighborhood Gullwings.

Ughhh both make me cringe. I'll go with Chocobo for the weird factor.

Well, Chocobo was weird, and Friendly Neighbourhood Gullwings was annoying... I'll go with Chocobo.

Friendly Neighborhood Gullwings, though, yeah, I'm not sure I see either getting any further after this.

Chocobo

I liked Chocobo.

Chocobo 4-2 Friendly Neighborhood Gullwings

ANOTHER Gullwings theme goes down, and the X-2 exclusive Chocobo theme triumphs.

Psst... we need more voters people.

Round 1 - Battle 14

New Yevon Party

The theme of New Yevon! Played in Bevelle and during the battle with Trema. "Show me the strength... that you HAVE GAINED!"
The Youth League theme triumphed... is the Yevon theme also worthy?

VS.

Anything Goes For Leblanc! - Listen Here (http://delta.bluelaguna.net/ffx2music/1/12%20-%20Sir%20Rupuran%20Has%20Everything!.mp3)

The syndicate's outside-of-battle theme! Played during various encounters with the Syndicate, and in the Mansion (only from chapter 3 on, before then you're not an ally yet, so you're performing an "Infiltration!").


I used to like the Leblanc theme, but it got annoying fast. I have to choose New Yevon Party. Okay, Yevonites are dipshits and the battle with Trema is hateable, but I love the scene with Trema before the battle, and this music fits well and makes me think of that quote I mentioned above. I'd sit through it every time I challenged him because I was doing the 100% in one shot thing.

Anything Goes for Leblanc! those guys were so funny.

Anything Goes For LeBlanc! It's so wrong, it's right.

New Yevon Party

Anything Goes For Leblanc!

Anything Goes For Leblanc!

Anything Goes For Leblanc!

New Yevon Party

Anything Goes For Leblanc! 5-3 New Yevon Party

Unlike the Youth League, New Yevon isn't so lucky. Another one for Leblanc... let's see if her factor will do as well here as it did in the last rumble.

Round 1 - Battle 15

YuRiPa Battle 1 - Listen Here (http://delta.bluelaguna.net/ffx2music/1/03%20-%20YuRiPa%20Battle%201.mp3)

Battle 2 wasn't so lucky. This is actually the chase battle music, played in situations where you're supposed to hurry. Like at the beginning in Luca, and the Cactuar Cave, etc.

VS.

Guadosalam - Listen Here (http://delta.bluelaguna.net/ffx2music/1/22%20-%20Guadosalam.mp3)

Guadosalam's theme... very Arabic-style piece. At least it's something, compared to FFX's Guadosalam.


I pick Guadosalam.

YuRiPa Battle 1

omg Guadosalam for the win

Guadosalam.

Guadosalam for me. I wasn't a big fan of X-2's battle music.

I actually like this particular "chase" battle theme. YuRiPa Battle 1 for me.

YuRiPa Battle 1

Guadosalam 4-3 YuRiPa Battle 1

ANOTHER Battle theme down! Now all that's left is the normal battle theme... that's coming soon. But, a well deserved win for Guadosalam.

Also, I posted this important message at the X rumble:


I'm leaving for uni in about a week and I'm just starting there and it may take a while, like up to a week to settle in before I have internet and am able to update again, if at all. 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.

Right... so I think I'm gonna finish this round, then let someone take over. I don't want the whole layout of it changed like the FFVII rumble was when the person in charge was replaced, I'd want it to me as close to my way as possible. Like, no letting anyone vote twist for a tiebreak, etc.

I MIGHT have to let someone take over the rest of this round, though I'd have to PM that person a list of my remaining planned matchups, and then in the next round they can do what they want with the 24 that won.

Anyway...

Round 1 - Battle 16

1000 Words - Orchestra - Listen Here (http://delta.bluelaguna.net/ffx2music/2/29%20-%201000%20Words%20(Orchestra%20Version).mp3)

This version of 1000 words is played during the credits. The piano version didn't make it so this is all that's left.

VS.

Tension - Listen Here (http://delta.bluelaguna.net/ffx2music/1/31%20-%20Tension.mp3)

Tension... this theme is played a lot, usually when you're infiltrating something in a place where there's a lot of commotion. Also first heard in the Isaaru quiz.


I actually really like Tension.

1000 Words - Orchestra since the version chosen doesn't have Jade yowling like a cat being trodden on.

1000 Words - Orchestra since the version chosen doesn't have Jade yowling like a cat being trodden on.

1000 Words - Orchestra

1000 Words - Orchestra

Tension

1000 Words - Orchestra 4-2 Tension

You lose some, you win some! Unlike the other one, this version of 1000 words got lucky.


Speaking of getting lucky, or the lack thereof, along with the fact that I'm leaving in less than a week (well, I still have the laptop), right now the computer with the pairings list for this rumble is broken, I'll try and get it fixed tomorrow to access it. If I don't by tomorrow, I'll go with what I have left and rearrange and update.

Im guessing the same is going on here as with the ff9 rumble?

Directing everyone's attention to my post in the FFIX rumble.

I'd be happy to start again with the X-2 one. Keep all the same tracks and do it as you were planning to. But start fresh because it wasn't that far into it. As I have not done it before, I imagine following another persons plans may make it easier to get into.

So I'm officially putting my name into the hat for the X-2 rumble. As I'm a virgin at this, I'd only want to do one. So someone else will have to take care of the IX one.

As there are references to both the IX and X-2 rumbles in this post. I'm going to replicate it in both threads.

1000 Words - Orchestra

Flux:

If no one else replies, I'll give it to you. Make sure you wait for a PM from me going over a few things first, and Agent might want to say something as well.

What this all about? *looks confuse*

We're trying to get things sorted out so that somebody is managing this and updating battles. That's all.

Is anyone apart from Flux interested in taking over this rumble?

If Flux would prefer to do the IX one, I would be willing to do this one. I am a much bigger fan of X-2 than IX.

Does anyone have any objections to this at all?

Okay, I'm continuing this.
Let me just post a recap of what happened so far, since it's been a while and we're only on round 1. I kind of need it to help myself anyway. I'll post this then continue in a seperate post.

Alright... I remember I was using 48 songs, so that gives us 8 more rounds of 16 songs. Just gotta find those 16 now and rearrange them... yeah.

Alright let's get the ball rollin' shall we. I told you I promised I'd do something!

Round 1 - Battle 17

YuRiPa Battle 3 - Listen Here (http://lamda.bluelaguna.net/ffx2music/1/10%20-%20YuRiPa%20Battle%203.mp3)

Even though it's number 3, it's the normal battle music. Well, so far both YuRiPa battles 1 and 2 (chase and boss) have been wiped out... so will this one get lucky? Hmm... FFX's Normal Battle theme made the final so you never know.

VS.

Summoned Beast - Listen Here (http://lamda.bluelaguna.net/ffx2music/2/16%20-%20Summoned%20Beast.mp3)

The battle theme for the Aeons. Played during every dark aeon fight except Bahamut, but also used in the battles with Anything Eater, Humbaba, and Angra Mainyu the champion of the previous rumble. A truly excellent theme.


I know both other YuRiPa's got the shaft but I want Summoned Beast to win. It's one of my favorite tracks on the OST, and I think my second favorite battle theme. I even like it FAR better than X's Summoned Beast.

Will update in 2 days, but I might wait 3 if we don't get enough votes, people need to notice this is back.

Summoned Beast

Summoned Beast

Summoned Beast

I'll go with Summoned Beast also. Ya'ay for the return of the X-2 Rumble!

Summoned Beast.

Summoned Beast

YuRiPa BAttle 3 Seems a shame for it to lose by a blow out.

Summoned Beast.

YuRiPa Battle 3,
i wonder if people are even listening to these tracks.... Theres so many more elements to music.

Summoned Beast 8-2 YuRiPa Battle 3

Well, that's it for the YuRiPa battles... shame they all had to be eliminated the first round. But don't worry, there is plenty more battle music coming up. Summoned Beast was kind of expected to move on.

Round 1 - Battle 18

Epilogue - Reunion - Listen Here (http://cobalt.bluelaguna.net/ffx2music/2/30%20-%20Epilogue%20-Reunion-.mp3)

The ending theme played during the "Good" ending (not the PERFECT ending), just the part when Tidus comes swimming out of the water. Yeah... another ending theme.

VS.

Rikku's Theme - Listen Here (http://lamda.bluelaguna.net/ffx2music/2/06%20-%20Rikku%27s%20Theme.mp3)

Yeah... interesting matchup. Not to be confused with Rikku's Theme from X, this is in fact almost the antithesis and more upbeat. But it's good, in fact I like it better. This, like the other two "THEMES" is played during minigames. Rikku's include the Leblanc Massage, the Dancing, the Cactuar Catching, and Lupine Dash. It's also used in the Shelinda report scene, as well as the famous somewhat secret Hot Spring scene. Well, Paine's Theme just won a few battles ago, will Rikku join?


Rikku's Theme gets my vote. I'm not all about slow ending themes.

Same, I'm going for Rikku's Theme

I say Reunion sorry...

Reunion

Rikku's Theme

I do like Reunion, but Rikku's Theme gets my vote.

Rikku's Theme - Reunion is the worst of the two ending themes, in my opinion.

Reunion

Epilogue - Reunion

I actually like both, but I will go with Rikku's Theme.

And, ~Neko~, yes, we do listen, but we all have different tastes. And personally, I prefer one of the YuRiPa battle themes in particular, but, in any case, none of them have made it through.

Epilogue - Reunion

Reunion is a very nice evolution of the Besaid theme. Rikku's Theme is cute enough, but once you've played blitzball a few times, soon makes you pretty fed up with it.

Rikku's Theme is cute enough, but once you've played blitzball a few times, soon makes you pretty fed up with it.

Only Paine's Theme plays during Blitzball.

Rikku's Theme.

Thanks Flux... for breaking the tie.

Rikku's Theme 7-6 Epilogue Reunion

Another character "theme" victory... Ending Themes getting the shaft this time compared to in the X rumble.

Round 1 - Battle 19

Confusion - Listen Here (http://lamda.bluelaguna.net/ffx2music/2/15%20-%20Confusion.mp3)

This is mostly the "intense situation" theme. Played in Kilika and Djose temple cloisters during the fiend infestations, and in the Crimson Sphere where Nooj backstabs everyone, as well as when the culprit is found for the Mi'hen mystery, and probably one other time.

VS.

Under Bevelle - Listen Here (http://lamda.bluelaguna.net/ffx2music/2/10%20-%20Under%20Bevelle.mp3)

By "listen here" I MEAN it. This is NOT the theme played UNDER BEVELLE in the cloister as the title suggests, that's "Bevelle's Secret". This is more of a fast intense chase theme that just so happens to first be played under Bevelle, when the alarm goes off in the hexagon room. It's also played at other moments under Bevelle like when Bahamut arrives, when "we are in super doo-doo!", and during that forced battle with that Malboro when you spy on the meeting. It's also played during the battle with Paragon, and finally not even in Bevelle it's in the scene when Angra Mainyuu awakens and also in the Cactuar Nation throughout Chapter 5 while you're doing the second part of that sidequest.


I vote for Under Bevelle. One of my favorite themes on the OST it could pass for an Uematsu track.

Hmm. Under Bevelle.

Confusion

Under Bevelle

Yeah, I'm also going with Under Bevelle-- it's quite good.

I say "Under Bevelle" Its the best!!!!O:] :p :puppydog: :laugh: :love: :angel:

Confusion

Under Bevelle

Only Paine's Theme plays during Blitzball.

Paine's Theme plays when your team's match is in session, but you also have to watch the other games, there's no way of getting around it (as far as I know) and Rikku's Theme most definitely plays during those.

I guess I'll go for Under Bevelle. Incidentally, I think Confusion is also played in the Farplane Abyss in the area where you can fight Azi Dahaka. Someone else might be able to confirm that, then again, it's not that important I suppose.

Under Bevelle

[QUOTE=Zak;1183532]
By "listen here" I MEAN it. QUOTE]

Lol,
I'm gonna have to go for Under Bevelle

Under Bevelle 9-2 Confusion

Under Bevelle looks like it's gonna be shinin' for a bit here... good, for a track that deserves more attention than it gets. Too bad for Confusion... oh well.

BTW:
Neko - bold your votes, please.
Ceidwad - That's actually Great Existance that's played there, but Confusion IS indeed played in the dark Farplane Abyss where the aeons are, but only the first time you go there. From then on it's "Abyss of the Farplane".

Round 1 - Battle 20

Clash - Listen Here (http://lamda.bluelaguna.net/ffx2music/2/23%20-%20Clash.mp3)

This is the theme played as you're climbing Vegnagun and killing it's appendages, both in and out of battle... that is, until you get to the head.

VS.

Ending - Until the Day We Meet Again - Listen Here (http://lamda.bluelaguna.net/ffx2music/2/28%20-%20Ending%20-Until%20the%20Day%20we%20Meet%20Again-.mp3)

The other ending theme that's played during the scene in all the endings. Reunion got the shaft... how will this do?


I know Clash is kinda short looped and we've had a lot of intense-situation tracks lately, but I like it and hate all Ending Themes, so that gets my vote.

Ending - Until The Day We Meet Again for me.

I agree. Ending - Until the Day We Meet Again for me also.

Ending - Until the Day We Meet Again

Ending - Until the Day We Meet Again

Sorry, Zak, but I just don't feel your universal hatred of all the Final Fantasy ending themes. Ending - Until the Day We Meet Again (or Ending - "See You Next Time, Kiddies!" as I like to think of it.)

Ending - See You Next Time, Kiddies! by miles

Clash

Ending - Until the Day We Meet Again

Finally got the motherfucker to load...

Ending Until the Day We Meet Again 7-2 Clash

Expected, but unlike Reuinion, this Ending theme looks like it's gonna shine a bit. Shame for Clash, though there are plenty of battle themes in the sea.

Including one coming up right now!


Round 1 - Battle 21

Bevelle's Secret - Listen Here (http://lamda.bluelaguna.net/ffx2music/2/09%20-%20Bevelle%27s%20Secret.mp3)

This is the theme many think is "Under Bevelle" because it's actually played under Bevelle... well, in the revisited cloister. It's also played in the Via Infinito "Great Cloisters", in the back of the Den of Woe, and in Baralai's Sphere. Very creepy and mysterious...

VS.

Demise - Listen Here (http://lamda.bluelaguna.net/ffx2music/2/26%20-%20Demise.mp3)

This is the Shuyin battle theme. Now, Shuyin may be a joke of a boss, but let's not rip on his battle theme now. Like I said about X's Decisive Battle, shame such a great theme was used in such a mediocre short battle. Clash lost, let's see how this will do!


I like Bevelle's Secret but I gotta say Demise, hands down, for me. I don't think there actually is anything I'd vote over that. Definitely my favorite battle theme in this game.

This is a tough call, but I go for Demise

1000 years of agony! -- Demise

This was inclination from the start, though I gave them both a fair hearing. Bevelle's Secret is definitely good, but Demise is better.

And I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one having problems getting pages to load here.

Demise

I say "Demise" .

Demise

Okay, it's been way over two days, I know the forums have been playing yo-yo, and we've only had six votes, and... I'd wait longer if it was more even, but by fair judgment it seems to be one-sided and I just wanna finish this round. Sorry if you're one of what you believe to be seven people who would have voted Bevelle's Secret. :P

Demise 6-0 Bevelle's Secret

So it's a wipeout. Bevelle's Secret gets the shaft unfortunately, but there are still a few themes like it. Demise moves up with flying colors...

Next up... location battle!

Round 1 - Battle 22

Luca - Listen Here (http://lamda.bluelaguna.net/ffx2music/1/17%20-%20Luca.mp3)

The theme of Luca for this game. It's nice, quite different from FFX's Luca theme, but anyone else see a resemblence to "Blitzball Gamblers"?

VS.

Mi'hen Highway - Listen Here (http://lamda.bluelaguna.net/ffx2music/1/18%20-%20Mi%27ihen%20Highway.mp3)

Okay this theme is DRASTICALLY different from FFX's Mi'hen. This catchy theme in addition to Mi'hen is also played in the Moonflow area. It's also used during the 16 scenes in the Gagazet Hot Springs CommSphere for some reason, well, can't deny that it fits it well. Oh, and also in the scene where Lian and Ayde return.


It may have gotten annoying after a while but I still vote for Mi'hen Highway. I like it and I like the little thing at the beginning.

Yeah not a fan of either, but Mi'hen Highway for lolz.

LucaO:]

Mi'ihen Highway for me.

Luca

Mi'hen Highway. As far as I'm concerned, FFX-2's Luca theme is a big drop-off from FFX's. FFX's Luca theme was definitely one of my top tunes in that game and I didn't think FFX-2's was anywhere near as good. On the other hand, I like X-2's Mi'hen Highway theme reasonably well.

Luca. Mi'hen just irritated me.

Mi'ihen Highway by a whisker. I don't agree that FFX-2's Luca theme is bad per se, I actually preferred it to X's theme, which for me wasn't really in keeping with the atmosphere of the city, it was too low-key for a vibrant, blitzball-loving city. Speaking of Blitzball Gamblers, I think that would have made a good them for Luca in FFX, although perhaps if that had been the case it would have gotten a little boring after a while. I still love it though.

There may have been an hour of downtime... but I feel there have been sufficient opportunities to vote in this round.

Mi'hen Highway 5-3 Luca

Close match... but Mi'hen winds up on top. X-2's Luca most likely feels like a disappointment after X.

2 more rounds...

Round 1 - Battle 23

Mission Complete - Listen Here (http://bluelaguna.net/downloads/mp3s/ffx2music/1%2F06+-+Mission+Complete.mp3)

This game wanted to be as different as possible with the soundtrack, without a single recycling, no Chocobo or Prelude or anything like that... but you can't get any more different than by changing the victory fanfare. This is the new fanfare. Also played when completing missions, hence the title. It's also used as the victory music for mini-games like Sphere Break and played when you get the Mascot DressSphere. Like it?

VS.

Yuna's Ballad - Listen Here (http://lamda.bluelaguna.net/ffx2music/2/11%20-%20Yuna%27s%20Ballad.mp3)

This piano music is one of the game's main themes. It's serves as the "Wandering Flame" of this game, played in some of Yuna's narration breaks. Not gonna list everywhere, it's played in most of the "Episode Complete" scenes, as well as random funny scenes. It's also the battle music against Dark Bahamut, as well as Rikku and Paine in the Den of Woe.


I vote for Yuna's Ballad. It's not exactly my favorite piano theme, but I like it better than Mission Complete, that one's cool for about 5 seconds and then it kinda dwindles.

Yuna's Ballad

Yuna's Ballad

Yuna's Ballad by a mile.

Yuna's Ballad

Yuna's Ballad-- I see this one potentially doing well down the stretch.


Not gonna list everywhere, it's played in most of the "Episode Complete" scenes, as well as random funny scenes. It's also the battle music against Dark Bahamut, as well as Rikku and Paine in the Den of Woe.
I'll add one-- during the Perfect Ending sequence.

EDIT: accidentally hit enter, reposting:

I've decided that wipeouts will now be 6-0, considering the activity of the X-2 forum. I actually think I already did decide that earlier, but forgot.

Yuna'd Ballad 6-0 Mission Complete

Looks like the "new victory fanfare" doesn't seem to be much... Yuna's Ballad easily moves on. And by the way, since I didn't post it before and I always do, here's the obligatory list of where it's played: The end of the Luca flashback at the beginning, the Luca Moogle chase EC, the EC where Cid joins on board, after Chateau LeBlanc infiltration, Bahamut Battle, Rikku/Paine Den of Woe battle, Maechen EC in Zanarkand, After beating Dark Valefor, the War Buddy Sphere, Yuna is "all alone", after the concert, flashback at Macalania Forest Lake, the scene with "Darling" (the pet shop opening), and finally the Perfect Ending.

Last battle of this round!

Round 1 - Battle 24

Bikanel Desert - Listen Here (http://bluelaguna.net/downloads/mp3s/ffx2music/1%2F25+-+Bikanel+Desert.mp3)

The theme played in... you know where. Kinda sounds like a remix of the Machine Faction theme, which didn't do so well... same beat, at least. How will this do?

VS.

Yuna's Theme - Listen Here (http://lamda.bluelaguna.net/ffx2music/1/04%20-%20Yuna%27s%20Theme.mp3)

What a song to end the long first round of this rumble with! I wonder how many of you were waiting for this to show up... well, here it is. This theme's heard a lot in the game, as well as some scenes where Yuna or one of the girls is actually humming it! It's first heard when Yuna comes onto the scene with guns to fight Ormi and Logos in Luca. It's also played throughout the Luca flashback when you first choose to go there, as well as when she dances, when she talks about her last plan, when she's in the sphere break tourney, and right before the concert. Also during some Episode Completes, like the calm lands PR, the Moogle chasing. Finally, it's used in minigames like Blitzball setup (sorry Ceidwad you were right), Reptile Run, and the good old Gunner's Gauntlet!

I pick Yuna's Theme

Yuna's Theme

Yuna's Theme

Yuna's Theme

Yuna's Theme!

Yuna's Theme

Yuna's Theme - after running round digging for several hours, Bikanel Desert starts to get really tiresome.

Yuna's Theme 7-0 Bikanel Desert

Yuna's Theme triumphs in a slaughter, though it was kinda expected. But, lets see how it will do compared to FFX's Yuna's Theme... I personally like this one better!
And, another shaft for the Machine Faction... oh well.


That concludes Round 1, Round 2 will begin shortly. Gotta set it up...

Okay, how many of you thought this was gonna be me becoming absent for months? :P

Time for round 2! 24 songs, 12 battles...

Round 2 - Battle 1

Infiltration! - Listen Here (http://lamda.bluelaguna.net/ffx2music/2/05%20-%20Infiltration!.mp3)

Slow track that arises a lot of suspense with random jumps, it's understandable that it beat the YuRiPa boss theme. It sounds just like Labyrinth (which I chose not to use), except it's got the Leblanc refrain that Labyrinth doesn't have, which makes it all the more badass.

VS.

Real Emotion - Listen Here (http://lamda.bluelaguna.net/ffx2music/1/02%20-%20Real%20Emotion%20-FFX-2%20Mix-.mp3)

"What can I do for you?" The game's intro song played in the concert. The YuRiPa Battle Theme 1 (the chase theme) is kind of based off of it, which makes sense. Unexpected, but this song beat Zanarkand Ruins in the last round! Let's see how it will do against this interesting matchup.


I have to choose Infiltration! It's one of my favorites on here, deserves more attention than it gets. And another point is that it's not Real Emotion which I absolutely hate.

I'm not sure if I can vote for it past this round, but I'm gonna go with Infiltration! on this one also.

Infiltration! as every time "Yuna" asked "what can I do for you?" my response was "shut the hell up." :)

Infiltration! as every time "Yuna" asked "what can I do for you?" my response was "shut the hell up." :)


Gotta agree with Erebus here :'D Infiltration!

Infiltration! as every time "Yuna" asked "what can I do for you?" my response was "shut the hell up." :)

I agree with this to the end of time.

Infiltration! for me, as well.

This is wipeout city here...

Infiltration! 6-0 Real Emotion

It seems Real Emotion is only good enough to make it up to this round... Infiltration proves to get the attention it deserves, let's see how much longer it will climb.

Round 2 - Battle 2

1000 Words - Orchestra - Listen Here (http://lamda.bluelaguna.net/ffx2music/2/29%20-%201000%20Words%20(Orchestra%20Version).mp3) (Lyrics in Japanese)

The piano version didn't make it, but this was lucky enough to make it to the second round against Tension. Will it uphold it?

VS.

Paine's Theme - Listen Here (http://lamda.bluelaguna.net/ffx2music/2/08%20-%20Paine%27s%20Theme.mp3)

All three character themes for the girls seem to have been successful in advancing to Round 2... and Paine's will be the first up! How does it compare to this after a slaughter to Vegnagun's Theme, Great Existance?


I'm going with Paine's Theme, as I don't like the over-commercialized ones. Though I did vote for this 1000 Words in the last round. Plus I like Paine.

Paine's Theme is nice, but as character themes go, I prefer Yuna and Rikku's. And I really do like 1000 Words - Orchestra. No blowout here.

Yeah 1000 Words - Orchestra for me aswell.

Paine's Theme

While I did enjoy 1000 Words, the jazzy feel of Paine's Theme just tickles all the right bones in me.

1000 Words - Orchestra

Paine's Theme

Oh close battles, how I've missed you.


Paine's Theme 4-3 1000 Words Orchestra

Paine's Theme manages to barely make it it past, winning by hair's breadth, at the last minute nonetheless, before I counted I thought I had to call a tiebreak. I must say I am surprised, even though I voted for it. No more 1000 Words. Well, that's one theme on to round 3.

Round 2 - Battle 3

Yuna's Ballad - Listen Here (http://lamda.bluelaguna.net/ffx2music/2/11%20-%20Yuna%27s%20Ballad.mp3)

Yeah, piano themes are popular... this won in a wipeout in the last round. Then again it was against the "fanfare". Well, time for it to match wits maybe?

VS.

Mi'hen Highway - Listen Here (http://lamda.bluelaguna.net/ffx2music/1/18%20-%20Mi%27ihen%20Highway.mp3)

Okay, so this one's one of the ones that had more competition last round, winning a close battle against Luca. How threatening is this Ballad to it?


I'm going with Mi'hen Highway. SOMEHOW I have just a gut feeling no blowout here... well, I like it better. I like a lot of piano themes, but Ballad kinda bores me. Yuna's Theme gone minor doesn't work for me. Plus, the Mi'hen theme makes me smile.

Yuna's Ballad

Yuna's Ballad

Yuna's Ballad

Yuna's Ballad

Yuna's Ballad

Only six votes again in two days... what happened here?

Yuna's Ballad 5-1 Mi'hen Highway

Yuna's Ballad remains triumphant, as I accurately predicted.

Round 2 - Battle 4

Eternity - Memory of Lightwaves - Listen Here (http://lamda.bluelaguna.net/ffx2music/1/01%20-%20Eternity%20-%20Memory%20of%20Lightwaves.mp3)

Another piano theme that made it. It beat Shuyin's "cave" theme in the last round, but perhaps now it'll have a tougher opponent? It's also got an interesting build of sixes.

VS.

Yuna's Theme - Listen Here (http://lamda.bluelaguna.net/ffx2music/1/04%20-%20Yuna%27s%20Theme.mp3)

So Paine's Theme made it, now it's Yuna's turn! Here's a more upbeat theme. But it seems to have a pretty threatening opponent... not that Paine's Theme didn't. In the last round it has Bikanel which was like a bug, but look what we're up against now.

I don't know who to vote for, I hate for either of them to be gone this early. Will think and vote later.

Eternity - Memory of Lightwaves <3

KUON: Memories of Waves and Light

Okay, I'll add one for Yuna's Theme. Not cause its the underdog, but by sheer process of elimination. If Eternity leaves, we still have the Troupe version. All the variations of Yuna's Theme that I included (and that is all of them, I believe), suck IMO because Yuna's Theme is too awesome to be changed.

Yuna's Theme for me.

Eternity - Memory Of Lightwaves

Yuna's Theme

Eternity - Memory Of Lightwaves

Eternity - Memory of Lightwaves

Eternity - Memory of Lightwaves

Eternity Memory of Lightwaves 6-3 Yuna's Theme

I am surprised... I was worried I would have to have a tie break.
Yuna's Theme appears to ironically be the first character theme to go... who saw that coming? It's easier to see it coming when up against a powerhouse like Eternity, which will be moving forth.

Round 2 - Battle 5

Summoned Beast - Listen Here (http://lamda.bluelaguna.net/ffx2music/2/16%20-%20Summoned%20Beast.mp3)

The aeon battle theme again, great opening and loop end. Comes off strong, as it beat the main YuRiPa battle theme in a wipeout. How far will it go...

VS.

Eternity - The Troupe Performs - Listen Here (http://lamda.bluelaguna.net/ffx2music/2/18%20-%20Eternity%20-Memory%20of%20Lightwave-.mp3)

So we just had a win from the regular "Eternity". This one gonna join it? It had a pretty easy win against the Crimson Squad theme in the last round.


Summoned Beast is gonna get my vote on this win, mainly because of what I said in the last round and that I wanted Yuna's Theme to win, well, I'm satisfied with one Eternity and I like SB.

Note: I'm flying to Israel on Tuesday, so I'll probably be there next time I update. Might be a day later, but oh well!

Summoned Beast

Summoned Beast

Eternity - The Troupe Performs, my favorite track from the ost :)

Eternity - The Troupe Performs

KUON: The Troupe Performs, easily. Absolutely love it.

Eternity - The Troupe Performs

Whee, it's beautiful here, well, I warned about the delay.

Eternity - The Troupe Performs 4-3 Summoned Beast

Eternity's really shining by having it's two representors win twice in a row. Too bad for Summoned Beast...

Round 2 - Battle 6


Shuyin's Theme - Listen Here (http://lamda.bluelaguna.net/ffx2music/1/14%20-%20Shuin%27s%20Theme.mp3)

Shuyin's mysterious creepy theme... well, we just lost a character theme, and this one seems to have it's appeal as it beat Anxiety in the last round...

VS.

Chocobo - Listen Here (http://lamda.bluelaguna.net/ffx2music/2/07%20-%20Chocobo.mp3)

Here we once again see this game's completely original Chocobo theme. Beat the Friendly Neighborhood Gullwings, whatever that says...


I'm going with Shuyin's Theme.

I'll go for Shuyin's Theme, since I always thought Chocobo was really odd, and never really liked it.

Shuyin's Theme

Shuyin's Theme

Shuyin's Theme

Shuyin's Theme

Shuyin's Theme 6-0 Chocobo

Yeah I didn't see Chocobo making it far either. Wipeout victory for Shuyin...

Seriously though, need more activity there, over two days we've only gotten six votes. That's why I had to change the wipeout from 8-0 to 6-0, though the two-day deadline passed anyway.

In the next round, I expect to see a lot of voters, mainly because I have a gut feeling it'll be competitive.

Round 2 - Battle 7

Under Bevelle - Listen Here (http://lamda.bluelaguna.net/ffx2music/2/10%20-%20Under%20Bevelle.mp3)

Once again, this is the Bevelle chase theme, not the music played under Bevelle. It's also used in some places outside Bevelle for intense situations, but mostly in Bevelle like for the alarms. All around a great theme. It's also the battle music for Paragon. It slaughtered Confusion in the last round, let's see if it'll last more...

VS.

Demise - Listen Here (http://lamda.bluelaguna.net/ffx2music/2/26%20-%20Demise.mp3)

If there's any competition for Under Bevelle, here it is. I give you, the Shuyin battle theme, which is one of the best battle themes in the game. Shame the battle where it's used was so short, much like Decisive Battle. I guess they had to have something good for the very last battle in the game, no matter how weak it is. In the last round it wiped out the other Bevelle track, Bevelle's Secret. How would it stand this time?


These are actually my two favorite tracks on this and I hate to see either go early, but thankfully it's not a hard choice for me between them. Demise hands down. As much as I'd hate to see Under Bevelle go I'd hate to see Demise go even more.

Under Bevelle

Demise

Under Bevelle

Demise, I guess.

Under Bevelle

That chase music really is good... yeah, I'll put one in for Under Bevelle.

demise.

I kinda had a feeling this would happen... 4-4, tie break time. Not a fun tie to break.

It's a hard decision IMO between these two, but I'm gonna leave it this time in the hands of Zak Vaan TaKko.

EDIT: Actually I just checked and Zak seems to have PM's disabled so he's unreachable and he hasn't been active since the 24th. So I'm giving it to Olde instead.

Olde's time is up... but... ugh, I'm running out of people to PMthat are usual frequenters, everyone hasn't been active or is on vacation or is busy. I'll just say, anyone may vote now to break this tie. Anyone that isn't Erebus, Erebus Wraith, myself, Agent, terabyte, Ruttokoira, Ngrplz, or Slavka. ANYONE.

One vote, I beg you... hell, maybe I'll call for attention in GD. I wanna continue and don't believe in coinflips or stuff like that.

I understand both of these songs are great and it's hard to pick, but it must be done.

Under Bevelle I loved going to Bevelle just because of that track.

OMG, THANK YOU JEFF!!


But... dammit, I wanted Demise to win. Oh well.

After a really close struggle in the way overtime, Under Bevelle manages to pull this one off. Surprisingly, Demise is out this early, who would have thought! Well, Under Bevelle is certainly a deserving winner if anyone should beat Demise! Probably would have said the same about Under Bevelle if it were to go this early.

Anyway, feels great to move on.

Round 2 - Battle 8

Mt. Gagazet - Listen Here (http://lamda.bluelaguna.net/ffx2music/1/09%20-%20Gagazet%20Mountain.mp3)

The lovely X-2 Gagazet theme. Very different from the X one that's it's almost hard to say which is better. This one won in a wipeout last round I believe, against the machine faction theme.

VS.

I'll Give You Something Hot! - Listen Here (http://lamda.bluelaguna.net/ffx2music/1/13%20-%20I%27ll%20Give%20You%20Something%20Hot!.mp3)

The Syndicate battle theme, which somehow managed to beat the 1000 words Piano theme last round. If that's not impressive I don't know what is.

Hard choice, but a bit more of a relaxing battle for me. Mt. Gagazet seems to grab me better though it'll probably lose.

I'll Give You Something Hot! I like the sound better than gagazet.

Gagazet, by far.

Gagazet

Mt. Gagazet

I'll Give You Something Hot! ("Let Me Blow You a Kiss!")

Mt. Gagazet

Gagazet Mountain 5-2 I'll Give You Something Hot!

Oh wow, looks like I was wrong, Gagazet is more appreciated than I thought! That's the end of the Syndicate Battles...

Round 2 - Battle 9

Abyss of the Farplane - Listen Here (http://lamda.bluelaguna.net/ffx2music/2/17%20-%20Abyss%20of%20the%20Farplane.mp3)

The weird theme for the Farplane Abyss (dark area), but only once you revisit it. Also the first scene where Yuna meets Shuyin face to face down there. Also the first victor in the last round against Macalania Forest.

VS.

Anything Goes for Leblanc! - Listen Here (http://lamda.bluelaguna.net/ffx2music/1/12%20-%20Sir%20Rupuran%20Has%20Everything!.mp3)

So the Syndicate battle theme just lost, how will it's main theme do? Make it further? It beat the New Yevon Party theme in the last round.

This time I'll be in favor of the Syndicate and choose Anything Goes For Leblanc!

Not a fan of the actual Syndicate, but Anything Goes For Leblanc!.

Looks like I may be in the minority again, but this time by voting against the Leblanc tune. I actually rather like the Abyss of the Farplane music. It may be unusual, but it's actually reasonably good.

Abyss of the Farplane

Anything Goes for Leblanc!

Five votes? Come on people...
And Agent voting against something to do with Leblanc? Has hell frozen over? :-P

But anyway...

Anything Goes For Leblanc! 3-2 Abyss of the Farplane

This time it's a victory for the syndicate, unlike in the last round... and that's it for the abyss!

Round 2 - Battle 10

Ending - Until the Day We Meet Again - Listen Here (http://lamda.bluelaguna.net/ffx2music/2/28%20-%20Ending%20-Until%20the%20Day%20we%20Meet%20Again-.mp3)

The main ending theme for all the endings except the bad one. Beat Clash in the last round.

VS.

Guadosalam - Listen Here (http://lamda.bluelaguna.net/ffx2music/1/22%20-%20Guadosalam.mp3)

X-2's Guadosalam theme. Unique and Arab-sounding, and beat the YuRiPa chase theme (1) in the last round.


If you know me you know my vote is for Guadosalam. But it's not because I hate ending themes, this one is not that bad, I just love Guadosalam's theme in this.

Guadosalam


Sounds a lot more cultural and well, just plain awesome.

Ending - Until the Day We Meet Again

While I love Guadosalam, I'll have to go with Ending - Until We Meet Again.

Ending - Until the Day We Meet Again

Ending - Until the Day We Meet Again

Ending - Until the Day We Meet Again 4-2 Guadosalam

This Ending theme once again triumphs, bye-bye Guadosalam.

Round 2 - Battle 11

Young Alliance - Listen Here (http://lamda.bluelaguna.net/ffx2music/1/20%20-%20Young%20Alliance.mp3)

The Youth League's theme. A whole lot more interesting than New Yevon's theme, hence why it managed to advance. It was also good enough to beat the Sphere Hunter theme. How about now...

VS.

Rikku's Theme - Listen Here (http://lamda.bluelaguna.net/ffx2music/2/06%20-%20Rikku%27s%20Theme.mp3)

Another character theme is putting itself on the line... so far it only beat the other ending theme (Epilogue Reunion). Yuna's is out, but Paine is still in... who will Rikku join now?

I pick Rikku's Theme, as much as I like Young Alliance, Rikku's Theme is better.

Gotta agree with Zak here; Youth League theme is good, but Rikku's Theme is better.

Rikku's Theme

Rikku's Theme

Rikku's Theme

Blowout condition is 6-0, right? :) Well, the Youth League theme definitely is good, but I'll also vote against it in favor of Rikku's Theme.

Yes it is 6-0. I actually surprisingly noticed before you posted five people had voted and not you, so I was anticipating yours to help me get things going.

Rikku's Theme 6-0 Young Alliance

There goes the Youth League theme... well, what do you expect, a character theme was in it's way. Anyway, yay for Rikku.

Time to conclude Round 2:

Round 2 - Battle 12

Vegnagun Starting - Listen Here (http://lamda.bluelaguna.net/ffx2music/2/22%20-%20Vegnagun%20Starting.mp3)

The theme for the FMV when you enter Vegnagun's lair, and it's awakening. Starts the same as "Nightmare of a Cave" with the piano roll, so don't be confused. Anyway, yay for pipe organ music, that must be what helped it beat the Gullwings March in the last round.

VS.

Kilika - Listen Here (http://lamda.bluelaguna.net/ffx2music/1/16%20-%20Kilika.mp3)

Kilika's fun theme of pianos and pipes. It barely managed to beat Calm Lands in the last round, probably because it was a very similar and close match since they have a similar theme. Vegnagun on the other hand... a whole different type of appeal. Let's see what the shrine prefers!


I can't decide right now.

Vegnagun Starting

Gotta go with Kilika, I like most town themes.

Alright, Vegnagun Starting is what I'd rather see in future rounds. Pipe organ ++

Vegnagun Starting, also

I like most town themes.
I, on the other hand, was generally not a huge fan of this game's town themes. Nevertheless, this battle turned out to be a much closer choice than I expected, but in the end, I still decided to go for Vegnagun Starting.

Kilika

Vegnagun Starting 4-2 Kilika

Another town down... and Vegnagun makes the top 12!

...aaaand that concludes Round 2.

Round 3 will commence shortly.

Here we go, round 3, top 12, 6 battles.

Round 3 - Battle 1

Infiltration! - Listen Here (http://lamda.bluelaguna.net/ffx2music/2/05%20-%20Infiltration!.mp3)

I figured this Leblanc/Labyrinth theme would make it this far. A variation of the Syndicate's theme that keeps you on the edge of your seat. Make it top 6?

VS.

Mt. Gagazet - Listen Here (http://lamda.bluelaguna.net/ffx2music/1/09%20-%20Gagazet%20Mountain.mp3)

Gagazet's mountain theme just beat a Syndicate theme... will it do so again? It's possible, it's an outstanding upbeat theme.

But my vote stays for Infiltration!
It's just too good. Myself, there's only one other track left in this rumble I'd vote over it. Gagazet is good, but Infiltration! is better.

Gagazet

I'm going with Infiltration!

BTW, Zak, maybe you can answer me something-- something I've wondered about for a while, but kept forgetting to ask-- what does the "MA" in the parenthesis in the thread title stand for? Never been able to figure out what that's about.

Oh, it stands for "Mod Approved" just something done at another forum I go to, for things that need approval... since this was my first "rumble" thread I ever started, I was tempted to put it there. But these things do, after all, need approval, so it makes sense.

Mt. Gagazet

Infiltration!

Okay, it's been over three days... but FIVE votes?

What happened to everyone... this isn't good. I waited half because I was busy and had no internet. but I'm surprised there is still only five votes.

Well, I can't force votes, but whatever.

Infiltration! 3-2 Mt. Gagazet

Gagazet's theme nearly holds out, but this looks like the end for it. The top six welcomes it's first member, Infiltration! It's cool that it made it this far, either it's getting the appreciation it deserves, or is just getting unworthy opponents. But Gagazet seems like it was a worthy opponent, but let's see how it will progress.


Next up, the eternal battle!

Round 3 - Battle 2

Eternity - Memory of Lightwaves - Listen Here (http://lamda.bluelaguna.net/ffx2music/1/01%20-%20Eternity%20-%20Memory%20of%20Lightwaves.mp3)

Yeah... this track infamously beat Yuna's Theme in the last round. But it's worthy, so it's all good. Even though it's from X-2, it's one of the best piano tracks in FF history IMO. The main menu theme, as well as a Yuna's Ballad/Wandering Flame alternative for some scenes in the game.

VS.

Eternity - The Troupe Performs - Listen Here (http://lamda.bluelaguna.net/ffx2music/2/18%20-%20Eternity%20-Memory%20of%20Lightwave-.mp3)

This is a sample from the very band you are tracking throughout the game, playing their version of the above song. Can be heard if you get the Guadosalam EC. How does it fair to the original?

Who will be the "eternal victor" and make it to the top 6?

I give it some thought and my vote goes to Eternity - Memory of Lightwaves. The Troupe's rendition is cool and more unique I know but to me this song still sounds far better on piano.

Also better get more than five votes, wouldn't wanna see a battle like this one go to waste!

Eternity - Memory of Lightwaves

Eternity - Memory of Lightwaves

Zak-- regarding the MA, okay, thanks, that makes sense. I was just wondering.

Anyway, I'm going to go against the crowd and vote for Eternity - The Troupe Performs. I guess it's really already pretty much a lost cause, but I really just love this version of the tune and would even stop by Guadosalam sometimes just to listen to it. Tough choice, though, both are very good. (BTW, I don't think it's actually the same band as the one with Tobli, if that's what you meant. There's actually more than one set of the musicians, and this particular band leaves the Macalania Woods to come to Guadosalam [but only if you get Episode Complete.])

Eternity - Memory of Lightwaves

Agent: I know that, there are two different bands, that look alike and have similar sounding (but different) names. I said the band you chase from the beginning, meaning, the one from the forest. Not Tobli.

Eternity - The Troupe Performs <3

I love both versions, and I really hate to see one go :(

Eternity - The Troupe Performs

Eternity - Memory of Lightwaves

A little late sorry had flight.

Eternity Memory of Lightwaves 5-3 Eternity The Troupe Performs

In the battle of the Eternities, the original stands victorious and joins the top 6.

Round 3 - Battle 3

Under Bevelle - Listen Here (http://lamda.bluelaguna.net/ffx2music/2/10%20-%20Under%20Bevelle.mp3)

The Bevelle chase theme which seems to be getting quite popular. It almost lost, had a pretty close tie break. It's also used in some places outside Bevelle, but mostly there during the intense situations and the Paragon battle.

VS.

Anything Goes For Leblanc! - Listen Here (http://lamda.bluelaguna.net/ffx2music/1/12%20-%20Sir%20Rupuran%20Has%20Everything!.mp3)

The main theme of the Syndicate which also seems to be pretty popular along with it's cousin "Infiltration!", which already made the top six! Will it join it?

Sorry Leblanc fans, my vote is for Under Bevelle. It's too awesome.

Under Bevelle, easy choice.

Under Bevelle

Under Bevelle not even a contest

Under Bevelle

Under Bevelle

Under Bevelle

Under Bevelle 7-0 Anything Goes For Leblanc!

Once again, Under Bevelle sweeps through, making it to the top six... I, for one, am glad to see this track more appreciated, it appears I underestimated Leblanc fans.

So next we've got...

Round 3 - Battle 4

Ending - Until the Day We Meet Again - Listen Here (http://lamda.bluelaguna.net/ffx2music/2/28%20-%20Ending%20-Until%20the%20Day%20we%20Meet%20Again-.mp3)

The more popular ending theme, unlike Reunion which didn't make it past the first round...

VS.

Vegnagun Starting - Listen Here (http://lamda.bluelaguna.net/ffx2music/2/22%20-%20Vegnagun%20Starting.mp3)

Another track I am surprised and glad made it this far. But seriously, pipe organ music... so it's not really surprising. Vegnagun's FMV theme.


You probably all already know this, but I vote for Vegnagun Starting by default.

Ending - Until the Day We Meet Again

Gonna go for Vegnagun Starting.
It fits it's theme terribly well.

I like both pretty much equally, but... Ending - Until The Day We Meet Again

I'm also going with Ending - Until the Day We Meet Again.

Vegnagun Starting.

Ending - Until the Day We Meet Again.

What a close alternating variety...

Ending - Until the Day We Meet Again 4-3 Vegnagun Starting

Unbelievable! The Ending theme made it to the top six, I wouldn't be surprised now if it goes further! But that's it for Vegnagun.

Round 3 - Battle 5

Rikku's Theme - Listen Here (http://lamda.bluelaguna.net/ffx2music/2/06%20-%20Rikku%27s%20Theme.mp3)

First (well, together with it's opponent) character theme to show up in this round. Yuna suffered a tough break, but Rikku's been pretty lucky. Will she make the top 6?

VS.

Shuyin's Theme - Listen Here (http://lamda.bluelaguna.net/ffx2music/1/14%20-%20Shuin%27s%20Theme.mp3)

...Or will Shuyin. His theme is a little different, dark and mysterious. Still a character theme though. And, whether a hero(ine) or villain, a character theme is as a character theme does.


Gotta go with Rikku's Theme, though. Any of the three girls have better themes than Shuyin, IMO.

Rikku's Theme

Shuyin's Theme

100% Rikku's Theme

Rikku's Theme

Rikku's Theme

Rikku's Theme

Rikku's Theme 6-1 Shuyin's Theme

This looks merely one-sided... Gullwing themes would naturally take the lead. But anyway, yay for Rikku having the first character theme to make it to the top 6!

Last battle of this round... I look forward to it being very interesting.


Round 3 - Battle 6

Yuna's Ballad - Listen Here (http://lamda.bluelaguna.net/ffx2music/2/11%20-%20Yuna%27s%20Ballad.mp3)

The piano version of Yuna's Theme gone minor, yadda yadda yadda, Wandering Flame of X-2. Top 6? It seems to have won in a lot of wipeouts already.

VS.

Paine's Theme - Listen Here (http://lamda.bluelaguna.net/ffx2music/2/08%20-%20Paine%27s%20Theme.mp3)

Here's the other character theme left... Paine's. Although starting with just a bunch of random noises for a while, it gets really good towards the end of the loop. Join Rikku's in top 6?


I choose Paine's Theme. I'm a fan of piano themes, but Yuna's Ballad isn't one of my favorites. Probably because I think Yuna's Theme sounds horrible in minor.

Yuna's Ballad, as far as the character themes go, Paine's isn't bad, but it excites me the least.

Yuna's Ballad

Yuna's Ballad

Yuna's Ballad

Yuna's Ballad. No competition - Final Fantasy piano themes are cool.

Aw, shucks, saw it coming anyway.

Yuna's Ballad 5-1 Paine's Theme

Yuna's Ballad clearly appears to be the more powerful entity in this deciding battle, as it will join the top 6. Paine's Theme couldn't quite make it, it appears Rikku is the only character to make it to the top six. Let's see how far she will go.

Tri-finals (whatever the word is between semi and quarter finals) will be started shortly.

Okay... tri-finals (if there is a better word for it, please inform yours truly)!

The first deciding battle for the top three will consist of:

Rikku's Theme - Listen Here (http://lamda.bluelaguna.net/ffx2music/2/06%20-%20Rikku%27s%20Theme.mp3)

Rikku's Theme... the only character theme left! That's about all I can say that you haven't heard regarding the description.

VS.

Ending - Until the Day We Meet Again - Listen Here (http://lamda.bluelaguna.net/ffx2music/2/28%20-%20Ending%20-Until%20the%20Day%20we%20Meet%20Again-.mp3)

The ending theme... sorry, can't offer you anything you haven't heard already regarding the description. Except, cool that it made it this far.

This should be a quite interesting battle... Except I personally vote for Rikku's Theme. Anything to get the Ending Theme out... haha

Ending - Until the Day We Meet Again

Ending - Until the Day We Meet Again

Rikku's Theme

JUST BCOZ RIKKU IS SO TOTALLY KIKAZZZZZZ~~

Ending - Until The Day We Meet Again
