Nothing beats Sunleth Waterscape theme, when I first heard it on chapter 6, I was like :OOOOOOO

Also, the boss battle theme is pretty awesome too.

Sunleth Waterscape had a wow factor cus Team Kitase really nailed the atmosphere & music in that forest bit....the song completely matched the surrounding and gave me a feeling of "freshness" & excitement.

But dust to dust (played outside and in oerba) also had an amazing wow factor as you felt bad for vanille & fang while looking at the village in ruins & there was a sense of foreboding and grief in the music....and all the whole cocoon's shadown was just over you. I literally spent tens of minutes just looking at the surrounding & cocoon with that music....it was an amazing atmosphere.

What I liked most about Dust to Dust was the fact that it still played even on battles, like all the sentiment didn't wash away even in the heat of the struggle. They returned to their home after 500 years only to see it devastated, them the only Pulsians remaining alive. That's what lead them to their ultimate sacrifice. Cocoon's people were the heirs of Pulse now, not the two of them. That despair, that pain, was very palpable.
