Videos are jacked, man.

Edit:

Isn't it "Battle for Freedom" and "The Forgotten Capital" from FFXII?
(not Struggle for Freedom and The Forgotten City)

Make sure you're only putting the video code (everything after the = sign) in the youtube tags. For example:

watch?v=ZACoIPmAVWg = NO
v=ZACoIPmAVWg = NO
ZACoIPmAVWg = YES

I feel these opening rounds are gonna be quite chaotic. I mean... there's not much on that list I don't like...

There's literally a dozen names for each track! I just went with what's on Wikia since that seems like it'd be the most pedantic source.

Let's hope enough people don't tick all the boxes that it gives me something to work with. :I

I wasn't complaining or anything. I just hadn't heard those names and didn't want there to be confusion. If those links could work themselves out, you wouldn't have to worry about it. =P

Yeah, yeah, done already, its 8.30 on a sunday morning mang

Who are the two morons who didn't vote for Aerith's Theme, and how can we appropriately shame them?

I'm actually kinda bored of Aerith's Theme at this point. Credit to it, it took the best part of 20 years to reach this stage, but it doesn't very often move me to tears any more. Not unless I'm actually playing the game, fighting JENOVA while it plays. Then it's still pretty magical.

Snow's Theme is heavily underrated and sadly, the poll backs this up. One of the best songs out there.

I like more than I voted for, but sometimes you gotta skim it out to make these contests work.

I was listening to Snow's theme and trying to decide if I liked it... I eventually decided I did but I'm still sure it needed a bit more? Hard feeling to describe.

It's definitely different to your normal orchestral melodies we generally associate with Final Fantasy character themes, but I feel it really does suit Snow, is a rockin' little beat and I can't think of how they could have improved it. In the game itself, it was one of the extremely few tunes that I actually noticed. The game was overpowered by constant voice acting and sound effects when compared with earlier games and the music holds less nostalgia as a result.

Less than 24 hours remaining on this poll until it closes! Finalize your votes, lazy people who didn't vote yet!

I approve of To Zanarkand having the top spot :up:
