I could have written a nice long intro for today, but then I saw the results I have to present...
Long story short, we'll be finishing up the music section today, and three of you need to be shot.
Favourite (with a "u". Suck it WK) Overall Track
We're going to go a little backwards here and start with second place. I would normally start with third place, but that's a 20 way tie for last so smurf that noise.
In second place it was a tie between To Zanarkand and Dancing Mad with 2 votes each. In fact, my vote for Dancing Mad is the only thing that prevented a 21 way tie for last, which is reason enough to be a little upset with all of you. A song from FFX, no matter how good it may be is not better than Dancing Mad. Period. End of story. So you can see why I was a bit miffed, but whatever. There were a lot of songs to choose from, and to be fair, those 20 of you who voted for the last place finishers all picked good songs, so I guess I can't be too miffed with you.
But then I saw this: Eyes on Me (3 Votes)
o.O

Three of you voted for this piece of tripe? Three of you made this assault on my ears and on the last vestiges of good taste that remain on this forum the top pick for best overall track? This sappy, mundane piece of tripe? I would have expected something like that from Shlup, before I found out she can't read that is, but from the rest of you? Really?
And what do you three have to say for yourselves?
Not much apparently.Originally Posted by MJN SEIFER
Not you too AngelWings! And here I thought you were cool.
Favourite OST
Ok, Vivi, get a hold of yourself. Big boys don't cry, we've got to keep this show rolling.
*sniff*
Ahem. For those the trained Panda/Tiger hybrid assassin's haven't already killed we'll move on to favourite OST. This one is much better overall with FFVII coming in first with 7 votes, FFIX in second with 6 votes, and FFVI rounding out the top three with 5 votes. I'm going to have to chalk FFVI taking third up to some of you being too young/uneducated to have truly experienced the grandeur of it's soundtrack and choosing more recent entries.
But when we move passed the top three we see some issues crop up.

Why did we let Jessweeee♪ vote twice?
Among the last place finishers we had FFVIII and FFX-2 getting one vote each. I don't try to question one vote for FFVIII anymore. As long as I know MJN SEIFER sent in a response that kind of explains everything. Well, maybe not why he likes FFVIII, but it does explain where the vote came from. But FFX-2? Did they mute it and play a different soundtrack than the one I heard over top of it? Maybe they stuck the first Spice Girls album on repeat until they were done and didn't realize that's not what the game sounds like (though it is marginally better). Who the hell votes for that?
You know, I should probably look at who voted before going off on a tangent, otherwise Remon might be the only one consistently getting quoted here.

PS: Is the soundtrack for Dissidia Duodecim any good? I know less about that soundtrack than Shlup knows about typing so I wasn't sure if I was supposed to make fun of the one person who voted for it?
