1) Radiant Historia - An Earnest Desire for Grey
2) Persona 3 - The Battle for Everyone's Souls
3) Metal Gear Solid Rising: Revengance - It Has to Be This Way
4) Sonic the Hedgehog 2006 - Solaris (Phase 2)
1) Radiant Historia - An Earnest Desire for Grey — As much as I love Final Destination, nothing can beat Yōko Shimomura at her best.
2)Cave Story - Last Battle — It just sounds more final bossy. And Persona sounds like an edgy Shimomura rip-off
3) Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance - It Has to Be This Way — As much as I love both songs, I just love the style and subtlety of the lyrics in this song. It's what those sonic songs tried to do and failed.
4) Sonic the Hedgehog 2006 - Solaris (Phase 2) — Better buildup and phrasing
And, @Geoninjaha , did you notice revengeance is spelled wrong, and the song is not called "It has to be this ways"
1) Radiant Historia - An Earnest Desire for Grey

@Maelstrom - Corrected. I just copy and paste the names from previous rounds most of the time to prevent having to write them all out, so I suppose some mistakes are inevitable.
1) Radiant Historia - An Earnest Desire for Grey ~ Not much contest here.
2) Persona 3 - The Battle for Everyone's Souls ~ Last Battle is still good, but Cave Story has better in its soundtrack. Also, not the Cave Story+ Remastered soundtrack .
3) Fire Emblem: Awakening - Id (Purpose) ~ I really enjoy It Has To Be This Way, but too often it just sounds like noise. There is too much going on most of the time, and it ends up ruining it a little. If the song was clearer I'd probably be voting for it.
4) Sonic the Hedgehog 2006 - Solaris (Phase 2) ~ Because comparatively, the other is a tad boring and generic.
Back from a holiday! Glad to see you guys haven't done anything crazy while I was gone.
1) Radiant Historia - An Earnest Desire for Grey
2) Persona 3 - The Battle for Everyone's Souls
3) Fire Emblem: Id (purpose) – Anything can change! Time to tip the scales!
4) Sonic the Hedgehog 2006 - Solaris (Phase 2) – Now this is some all-around great music. It's what they can do when they don't force cheesy lyrics in there.
Currently on the plate:
Mount and Blade: Warband – Napoleonic Wars
Chivalry
Super Mario 3D World – Finishing the last few levels.
Mario Kart 8
3) Metal Gear Rising Revengence - It Has To Be This Way — Of very little am I as sure as this. This song is worthy to win this tournament. Id just doesn't even come close. For much of the same reason I didn't vote Okami, I won't vote Fire Emblem, but it goes double here because this song I full well expect to see in the finals.
1) Radiant Historia - An Earnest Desire for Grey wins 5-0
2) Persona 3 - The Battle for Everyone's Souls wins 4-1
3) Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance - It Has to Be This Way wins 4-2
4) Sonic the Hedgehog 2006 - Solaris (Phase 2) wins 5-0
Round 4 - Quarterfinals
Music Playlist - For all of the 8 tracks in one location.
I CAAAN'T VOOOOOTE D: The first one contains two themes I'm not fully worried about, the second contains a theme I refuse to listen to, the third is too close for me to decide, and the fourth is, too! @___@ I'll come up with votes, though. :3 I'm not really that distressed. This is a pretty amazing top 8. I'm gonna be honest.
1) Sonic Unleashed - Perfect Dark Gaia
2) Bravely Default - Serpent Eating the Ground
3) Persona 3 - The Battle for Everyone's Souls
4) Sonic the Hedgehog 2006 - Solaris (Phase 2)
1) Sonic Unleashed - Perfect Dark Gaia
2) Bravely Default - Serpent Eating the Ground – This better win the whole tournament; it's a rollercoaster of a song.
3) Persona 3 - The Battle for Everyone's Souls
4) Sonic the Hedgehog 2006 - Solaris (Phase 2) – Great build-up – great pay-off. The other one isn't bad, but it has come far enough and beyond in my books for such a mediocre performance.
Currently on the plate:
Mount and Blade: Warband – Napoleonic Wars
Chivalry
Super Mario 3D World – Finishing the last few levels.
Mario Kart 8
1) Sonic Unleashed - Perfect Dark Gaia — Just better. Don't ask me why.
2) Bravely Default - Serpent Eating the Ground — While Dust has a good one, this is just so incredible. I don't have words to express how awesome it is
3) Radiant Historia: An Earnest Desire for Grey — Once again, Persona sounds like an edgy Shimomura rip-off. It just can't be as great as the real thing.
4) Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance - It Has to Be This Way — I just love the subtlety of the lyrics (as opposed to some certain other boss themes). It just works so well.
And, in the name of shameless advertising, I just revised my Serpent Devouring the Horizon arrangement, and will finalize it in the next few days.

1) Bayonetta - The Greatest Jubilee — I really don't care either way. As far as I'm concerned, this will be the last successful bracket for either song, as Serpent Eating the Ground is considered by many to be THE best final boss theme ever, and from what I accidentally heard thanks to someone's playlist. >.> I can definitely see why.
2) STILL NOT VOTING — Even though I heard about half of this in the background, I was only slightly paying attention and have actually managed to forget, by this point. I should really get around to finishing this game but UUUGGH! That back half is so bad. >.< I lost my steam sometime just before the Fire Temple and the momentum carried me until the door of the Earth Temple and I've only just now picked but up. Such great music, but I'm really starting to drag my feet on finishing this game.
3) Persona 3 - The Battle For Everyone's Souls — Dunno who this Shimomura person is. Dun really care. This song has such an amazing build-up and reward. It honestly could win on that, alone, but the rock feel and instrumentation is backed by some really amazing composition. This is another extremely strong contender for the finals.
4) Metal Gear Rising Revengeance - It Has to Be This Way — I don't feel like I need to explain it, at this point, but can I just say, I LOVE this song so much. It's just so perfect for a final boss theme. It's pumping and crazy and the lyrics are just subtle enough to not be embarrassing and the arrangement and the instrumentation and... and... and.. and...!!!!!! If this song loses here, I may cry, but at least it will lose to a worthy opponent.
