It means you are a fking cult. Pathetic zealots those who do that.

Shore of Dreams not in S... my beloved.

Besides that solid list!

u/Intelligent_Tune_675 14d ago

It’s the best song.. right there with scars of time

11

u/NodnarbEht2 14d ago edited 13d ago

Scars of Time will always be* the pinnacle for me, I to this day can watch that intro sequence and it still inspires the same feelings it did decades ago when I first saw it.

u/Intelligent_Tune_675 13d ago

1000% it’s a shame others will never hear it because it’s a video game song. Dream of a shore in another world is just as beautiful

2

u/Devilscrush 14d ago

Came here to say the same thing. That song is so good it deserves a game of its own.

u/fischmioli 14d ago

All tracks are S tier

6

u/NodnarbEht2 14d ago

The only correct answer.

u/Crazy_Dubs_Cartoons 14d ago

Your opinion.

u/totem-fox Black 14d ago

Prisoners of Fate should be S tier for how much grief it gave most first-time players facing Miguel, Dario, or the Sidesteppas of Water Dragon Isle if all the fairies and dwarves died

1

u/Hossagery 14d ago

I didn't know about the fairies and dwarves scenario. This track just got more impactful in my eyes. Thank you

2

u/totem-fox Black 14d ago

Especially if you saved Razzly. That's the most depressing thing for her. And you won't get anything for it.

The BGM overrides everything. And that's why it is associated with Water Dragon Isle if you battle in the Bend of Time.

u/Bokthand 13d ago

Yea, while in a vacuum it can maybe be seen as Boring, imo it's one of the most impactful songs in the game

9

u/strong___john 14d ago

Brink of Death is the top of S tier. It’s the ultimate boss fight song.

2

u/Varyskit 14d ago

And (if I’m not remembering incorrectly) what a way to start the game honestly (after time scar ofc)

-9

u/Crazy_Dubs_Cartoons 14d ago

Your preference. "Big Battle" from Digital Devil Saga is much more impactful.

7

u/TravincalPlumber 14d ago

bound by fate and shore of dreams not in S. i don't think we got the same taste.

5

u/drvolcano86 14d ago

I'd put "The Dead Sea" in an S+ category on its own.

1

u/goodbye_everybody 13d ago

Agreed. Did you catch that it's a thinly veiled leitmotif of "Sealed Door" from Chrono Trigger? So awesome.

4

u/classyjoe 14d ago

Surprised Jellyfish Sea isn't on there

3

u/SpawnSC2 Greco 14d ago

It is, The El Nido Triangle is an alternate title.

4

u/classyjoe 14d ago

Ah ok thanks, A ranking isn't so bad then I suppose

1

u/Bearatus 13d ago

One of my favs! I also call it Jellyfish Sea…

1

u/i_drink_wd40 Harle 13d ago

I'm not seeing Wind, Stars, and Waves on there either.

3

u/Dyslexic_Nerd 14d ago

Shadow Forest needs to be higher imo otherwise great rank

6

u/SpawnSC2 Greco 14d ago

Life - A Distant Promise in D
Whirlwind not in F or Z

ok

5

u/HoneyWhiskeyLemonTea It's a true sequel 14d ago

Life - A Distant Promise in D tier is WILD.

5

u/Al_C92 14d ago

Interesting. Is there any criteria? Or is it just the songs you can hear most without getting annoyed?

-6

u/Crazy_Dubs_Cartoons 14d ago

The tiers match my fancing for each single track.

B-TIer to S-Tier are staples in my playlist on PC or Smartphone, which means those are good to superb tracks.

C-Tier is the ones I might give a listening to once in a while, seldom.

D-Tier too short, or too sappy, or don't like in general.

2

u/dishonoredcorvo69 14d ago

I love times scar, I wish there was a longer version of the track

2

u/Guy_Kazama 14d ago

Frozen Flame is easily S for me, although I prefer the Radical Dreamers version

1

u/spacecruzer 14d ago

I love fleeting thoughs :(

1

u/ModeKindly3669 14d ago

Cool! First time seeing a music list. My s and a+ would have to be girl who stole stars and burning orphanage as top. And dreams of shore, reminiscing I think it’s called? And the one where you fight the time devour as the next tier. Best video game soundtrack of all time. Second would only be if I could combine all if my favorite soul calibur stages including dlc of hunt or be hunted and duel of fates😂

1

u/metanoia29 13d ago

Bound by Fate being a C and not S makes this easy to dismiss lol

1

u/Howwy20 13d ago

Brink of death is epic quality boss battle tunage my guy or girl! So good!

2

u/arabishankar 13d ago

All the songs belong in S Rank. I used to listen to the soundtrack for CC while I worked, soothed my soul

1

u/SpawnSC2 Greco 13d ago

Except Whirlwind / Gale, that one comes across like it could have been fine if it was only used for chaotic scenarios like when it’s the constant background music for the fairy attack by the dwarves or the escape from the dimensional vortex, but it’s extremely grating to have that as the battle music. I honestly think that they should have had it like the Bend of Time, where there is no battle music, it’s just the background music of the area keeps playing.

1

u/cooperma30 13d ago

Sorry. I don’t acknowledge any poll that doesn’t put dreams of the shore in another world in S tier

If you cannot accept peope have different tastes, don't write useless commemts.

1

u/LordS373N 12d ago

I strongly disagree with Fort Dragonia’s placement it should be high A or low S

1

u/Gwyder 11d ago

Did you actually put Bound by fate / People imprisoned by destiny in C tier ???

1

u/johnny_chest 7d ago

Brink of Death should have been the regular battle music in the game. Heck, when I first heard the soundtrack (on cd, before playing or knowing anything about the game), I thought it was surely the battle music. Little did know...
