I blame Wolf since I copy/paste all category titles from the results he gave me.
True beauty exists in things that last only for a moment.
Current Mood: And it's been a long December and there's reason to believe. Maybe this year will be better than the last. I can't remember all the times I tried to tell myself. To hold on to these moments as they pass...
American spellings FTW... whatever that stands for!
I think FFVI and VII should be switched for the last two polls. Commentary been some decent comedy, Lord knows we could all use some when we come to visit this site...
I must say, I'm impressed with the results as well. It's like we all decided to just smurf with his head a little bit.
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
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?

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.Originally Posted by Remon

Dissidia Duodecim
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?
What's wrong with Eyes on me?
It's associated with VIII and Vivi22 hates VIII.

Oh come now, I don't hate everything related to VIII, even if much of the game is kind of troutty. Man with the Machine Gun is obviously a great tune, and there are others on the soundtrack. But honestly, I don't think I like a single thing about that song. I was even listening to it while typing that post to make sure I wasn't just remembering things wrong or confusing it for something else, and I really find no redeeming value in that song. I don't like the melody, the vocals swing wildly between grating my ears and boring me to tears, and from what I was paying attention to as far as lyrics it was some pretty sappy crap. I just don't see how that song gets any love, let alone as much as it does get. There are better songs on the VIII soundtrack alone.
Hell, I'd rather listen to every version of Hymn of the Fayth back to back than listen to Eyes on Me again at the moment, and that trout gets old fast. I apologize for any childhoods I just spat on.
This is all worth it to see Vivi22 get endlessly enraged about anything FFVIII-related.
And Eyes on Me is great.
"Excuse me Miss, do you like pineapple?"
I have a topic in planning that will explain why I like Eyes on Me so much. The topic it's self isn't completly about Eyes on Me, just one part is.
