=== REJECTS ===
Each of the following games already have 3 songs in the nominees list. You can still suggest that I replace one of the nominees with another song from this list if you think I fucked up, though.
I would like to see more little changes, but here are some songs that should not be left out, as I think many would count these amongst their favourites.
--Castlevania Symphony of the Night - The Tragic Prince--
There's no way this should be left off the list. Castlevania SOTN has a good overall soundtrack, but this one definitely stands out. Might leave 'Wandering Ghosts' out instead, but I have no strong feelings to which one should go out.
---Chrono Cross - Dream of the Shore Bordering Another World--
It seems quite a few people here have mentioned this track before in previous 'best music' threads, so I am guessing they will be unhappy with this not being on the list. Replace 'Frozen flame' with this song, as it is one of those songs start promisingly but don't quite deliver in the end.
As for Dragon God, I like it, but I would personally not put it there; rather some like 'People imprisoned by time' or 'the girl who stole stars'. But the choice for Dragon God is defensible.
--Chrono Trigger - Corridors of Time--
AKA 'The Kingdom of Zeal', or 'Time Circuits'. Can't leave this off the list, just can't! It fit the game's world so well, and if you were to name one game track with a 'magical feel' to it, this would be it. In my opinion this 'Wind scene' needs to be replaced by this.
Also, why was 'World Revolution' (which I nominated amongst others) not on the backup list? World Revolution has my preference above Magus' theme, although I can see why people prefer the latter.
--Final Fantasy 6 - Ending theme--
The ending theme music all character themes into one great coherent megatrack, and finishes off with a rousing rendition of Setzer's theme. One of the best ending themes of all time. 'Aria' was nice, but it's more a 'nice when you were there' type of song, and it doesn't really hold up that well, thanks to its fake 'voices'. Replace 'Aria' by this song.
Kinda odd that nobody voted for 'The Decisive Battle' in the end...
--Final Fantasy 8 - Ending, Force your Way (Boss), Premonition, The Extreme--
Replace Eyes on Me by one of these four, as it is a little bit too cheesy for its own good.
Thanks for the hard work, Sixfortyfive. Three nominees per game does make a better list.
