Music Tournament of DOOM Vol. 2 ~Nominations~

[Yakumo]

Alright, it's time for yet another Video Game Music Tournament.  This run will be focusing on music as heard in-game, with a couple little sub-tournaments for Anime and Worst of the Worst if interest permits.  The rules for noms are pretty much the same(and shamelessly ripped off and slightly adjusted from our esteemed Vice President's last topic):


1. You can have a minimum of 1 and a maximum of 20 nominations. Order your lists in numeric order (1 is highest priority, 20 the lowest). If there's no numeric order I'll just give the tracks at the top of the list priority.

2. You may edit your list at any time to add/remove/change tracks.

3. Any piece of music that is a game theme is eligible. If the music track is not played in a game, it is not eligible. Please include the game of origin in parentheses with your nomination.

4. The contest is not restricted to, nor does it favor RPGs over any other genre.

5. I will provide listening links in the tournament topics, just like last time. If I'm completely unable to find the track, the nomination will be omitted. To avoid this possibility since I'm not quite as good at finding these things as Tonfa, feel free to put in a link to the track, send it to me over IRC, or just upload it yourself and post that link.  I'll try and get ahold of you if I can't find something myself.

6. In addition to the main tournament, you may nominate up to five songs each for both the Anime and Failure brackets.  The same rules apply for Failure songs as normal noms, and Anime music can be any song actually used in an Anime series or movie, preferably actually written for the series in question and not borrowed from another source.

7. The four songs that made it to the Semifinals of CK's original tournament are NOT eligible for nomination for this tournament, I have plans for them after this tournament is complete.  Those four songs are:

Digital Devil Saga 2: Divine Identity
Ys Origin - -Bonus track- GENESIS BEYOND THE BEGINNING
Romancing SaGa: Calling an Awakening Memory -The Battle with Schirach-
Final Fantasy X: Someday the Dream Will End



Assuming we have enough nominations, the noms phase will end Friday, March 20, and brackets will be up that weekend.  Good luck to all who participate and enjoy the music!

For your convenience, Yakumo, I've uploaded all my entries onto a zip file, which you can download here: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=19PYZBNL

[Dark Holy Elf]

May change this, but want to get a list out here in case I don't have time to nom further. Off the top of my head...

Order isn't too important, here. Not sure why it would be, with hundreds of songs I like, it doesn't make much sense to pretend there's a huge gap between 1 and 20 compared to what exists between 20 and 200. So I gave almost no thought to order at all and won't be held to it. ... not that I'm going with my 20 favourite tracks ever here, anyway. I'm being pretty random and trying to spread things out, genre-, series-, and composer-wise (though unsurprisingly there's going to be a lot of WA anyway <.<).

Wild Arms 3 - There's Only One Family Named Schroedinger (because it deserves to not face Genesis round 1, damnit)
Wild Arms XF - Twilight of the Anti-Hero
Star Ocean 3 - Influence of Truth's Appearance
Legend of Mana - The Excitement of Both of Us
Wild Arms 4 - Nightless City Guara Bobelo
Wild Arms ACF - Murdering Princess
Wild Arms XF - Intrude Upon Happiness, Plunder the Future
Grandia 3 - A Hot Crash
Valkyrie Profile - The First Unison
Breath of Fire 4 - Men of War
Disgaea - Galaxy Wars (underappreciated)
Final Fantasy 9 - Clowns on a Dark Night
Super Mario RPG - Beware the Forest's Mushrooms
Suikoden 4 - Fated Confrontation
Digital Devil Saga - Hunting - Compulsion
Mega Man 2 - Wily Stage 1-2
Mega Man 5 - Dark Man Stage
Mega Man X - Storm Eagle Stage
F-Zero X - Climb Up and Get the Last Chance
Pokemon RSE - Battle! Gym Leader

Hmm, first off the things that didn't get in last time:
1. Blue Dragon - Eternity (A gross injustice to put this in the failure bracket when its fail wraps it all the way back to awesome.)
2. Lost Odyssey - Roar of Departed Souls (Weird enough to deserve to be in.)

The rest of these aren't really ordered by preference.  And they aren't quite a list of favorites, though I do think these are all interesting at least.  (The non-RPGs just ended up first because that's what I tried to think of first.) (Edit: See below, randomized.)
3. Apollo Justice - A New Trial is in Session!
4. Heroes of Might & Magic 2 - Sorceress Castle music (original, not Price of Loyalty expansion)
5. Final Fantasy XII - Cerobi Steppe
6. Xenosaga II - Xenosaga II opening theme
7. Valkyrie Profile 2 - No Knowledge of Wisdom
8. Final Fantasy VIII - Liberi Fatali
9. Luminous Arc - Theme of Luminous Arc
10. Growlanser Generations - Requiem
11. Xenosaga 3 - Promised Pain
12. Tales of Legendia - Sea of rage
13. Shadow Hearts - Much Hatred Still Rankles
14. Final Fantasy Tactics - Under the Stars
15. Shadow Hearts - Alice
16. Heroes of Might & Magic 2 - Snow terrain music
17. Xenosaga 3 - Hepatica (KOS-MOS)
18. Tales of Legendia - Advancing towards 12 O'Clock
19. Final Fantasy IX - Assault of the Silver Dragons
20. Front Mission 3 - Swift Attack

(Left off once I realized I'd forgotten to count the two at the top: Seiken Densetsu 3 - Sacrifice Part III, and another nod for the Overworld from Terranigma.)

I've got the Heroes2 music if anyone wants it.  (Tempted to nom Heroes3 music as well, but there are still 2-3 Heroes2 tracks that should be in before it, and 2 tracks from Heroes2 seems like the max.)

Anime:
1. Rurouni Kenshin OAV - Kotowari: In Memories
2. Noir - salva nos
3. Mai Hime - Mezame
4. Witch Hunter Robin - Flame
5. Escaflowne - Dance of Curse

Hmm...  it was easier than I expected to dig up some pieces for this.  4 battle themes and a sad ending theme.  (EDIT: Though I had C&Ped canta per me from El Cideon before, when I was thinking of salva nos.  Though they're both awesome.)

Failure:
1. Grandia III - Amazing (or whatever the opening is called)
2. Star Ocean 3 - Bitter Dance
3. Xenosaga 2 - Second Miltia
4. Chrono Cross - Gale
5. Phoenix Wright 3 - Larry Butz: When Something Smells, it's Always me

Trying to avoid any carnival music / annoying tension music with a short loop because they lose by default, not of their own failure.

Also not sure if I should take this to the brainstorming topic, but I'd totally be in favor of working both ways in the failure contest - that is, find both the best failure (??) and the worst failure.  Win out or lose out to keep going.

EDIT: Yakumo says he'll be going off order of noms....  hmm, mine are a bit too clumped. 
>>> l = range(4, 21)
>>> import random
>>> random.shuffle(l)

Dammit.  Now I have to edit my list to include No More Heroes music.  I hope you're happy.  I am!

This REALLY doesn't work.  Because I could randomly nom something awesome for Failure bracket and it would win "best failure" because it doesn't suck.  It just doesn't work that way (the same reason we don't vote for "worst" in the normal tourney).

[SnowFire]

Yes, well, obviously those noms would get tossed by the moderator before the tourney started.  The last tournament didn't use every submission either.

'tis not a big deal - I agree that the worst is more interesting - but the best of the worst noms might be amusing too.
