Kingdom Hearts Rumble

Can I nominate "Riku?"

YouTube - Kingdom Hearts Final Mix + - Riku

Only if you're going to cast a vote for the current battle. That is, unless you really feel you have no dog in that particular fight.

The 13th Struggle - 2
Savannah Pride - 0


Only two votes here. Ah well, I'm sure it'll pick up. The 13th Struggle coasts to the second round. Next up:

Having a Wild Time (Kingdom Hearts) (This exhilirating battle theme plays in the Deep Jungle. A "previous version" of it also available on the Kingdom Hearts soundtrack.)

vs.

Sanctuary ~after the battle~ (Kingdom Hearts II) (The English version of the game's title song. I recommend this page for lyrics reference.)

Sanctuary ~after the battle~

Sanctuary after the battle

Sanctuary ~after the battle~

Let's just end this one...

Having a Wild Time - 0
Sanctuary ~after the battle~ - 3


Kinda surprising, since battle tunes seemed to be popular. Next up:

Hikari, Kingdom Orchestra Instrumental Version (Kingdom Hearts I and II) (This thrilling, soaring version of the game's main title theme may never have been heard by some players in the original game. Reason? It wasn't featured within the gameplay itself, only in the game's opening demo sequence at the load screen, if you take too long to load or start a new game. This music was so popular that it was included in some online trailers for Kingdom Hearts II. Wisely, this music was included in KHII when Sora receives the letter from Kairi, though it's not included on that game's soundtrack, perhaps because I don't think it sounds any different.)

vs.

Organization XIII / The XIII Order (Kingdom Hearts II) (The dark, boding theme of Organization XIII. This contemplative tune plays when you first meet the gang, as well as at various key points in KHII.)


Oh, BTW, this is the last call for nominations.

Hikari, Kingdom Orchestra Instrumental Version

Organization XIII

(sound of crickets chirping)

Only two votes? Come on. These are both great pieces. Well, I want another vote to break the tie, but it we can't get one by tomorrow, I go to coin-toss.

organization xiii

Very well, Organization XIII it is then, on to the second round. :) Thanks for the vote, cid highwind!

Okay, next up...

Kairi I (Kingdom Hearts I and II) (One of the various Kairi themes. "I can't wait. Once we set sail, it'll be great." Kairi's theme is also included in KHII, though only one version, so I lump it in here.)

vs.

Darkness of the Unknown ("You shall go together." This is the big boss battle them for the final confrontation with Xemnas.)

Darkness of the Unknown

Darkness of the Unknown; just curious were any of the nominations accepted?

Nominations aren't readied yet, I'll be getting on that later today.
