Forums - Nintendo - XC Music VS XCX Music - The results!

From the survey I started about half a month ago. Winners are bolded. Songs that are covered up are reverse(the none bolded ones are the winner). I was hoping for a larger sample, but I tried to spread the story out.

===Story===
Main Theme VS MonoX
67(72.8%) - 25(27.2%)
It’s Yoko Shimomura.

Riki the Legendary Heropon VS z39b20co13mi01cal09 (first part)
77(77.2%) - 21(22.8%)
[obligatory HEROPON RIKI BESTEST comment here]

Crisis VS CR17S19S8 (first part)
49(53.3%) - 43(46.7%)

A Tragic Decision/Tragic Decision VS G-LOW-S→F.S.K.O(second part)
68(73.9%) - 24(26.1%)
“Your blade… It did not cut deep enough.” Nothing to say here.

Ancient Mysteries/Mystery VS NEMOUSU秘OUS
54(58.7.%) - 38(41.3%)

Ending Theme - Beyond the Sky/Beyond the Sky VS Your Voice
51(57.3%) - 38(42.7%)
Again, like the title theme, it lost to another great composer’s piece. Nothing to be ashamed of.



Around the Network

===Battle===
Spotted by Enemy: Irregular Bound VS z37b20a13t01t08le (the first 30 seconds)
51(58%) - 37(42%)

Wild Beings Battle theme: Time to Fight! VS Black Tar (first part)
37(42%) - 51(58%)
Remember how people jumps on XCX’s battle theme when it is first heard in the direct? How far we’ve come…

Enemy Battle theme: Mechanical Rhythm VS The Key We've Lost (second part)/Ganglion Battle
66(75%) - 22(25%)
There isn’t any contest in the first place, isn’t it?

In-Battle Event: Visions of the Future/Vision Reacts VS Wir Fliegen
21(23.9%) - 67(76.1%)
Looks like vision doesn’t really stand a chance against humans that can overclocked themselves.

Elite Monsters: You Will Know Our Names/Those Who Bear Their Name VS Uncontrollable
50(56.8) - 38(43.2%)
Uncontrollable gives it a good run, too bad it’s not just any battle music it's going up against...

Boss: An Obstacle in Our Path/One Who Gets in Our Way VS z37b20a13t01t08le/z37 battle (after the first 30 seconds)
63(71.6%) - 25(28.4%)
Again, it’s not that z37 battle is bad.

Double Duty Themes (Boss Theme/Thematic Music): Engage the Enemy/Confrontation with the Enemy VS NO.EX01 56(66.7%) - 28(33.3%)
“This isn’t even remotely fair!” -Lin
One of the most iconic tracks in an amazing score against a good track in a relatively great score. It’s the like the previous situations all over again.

Final Boss 1: Zanza the Divine/Zanza VS raTEoREkiSImeAra (first part)
54(63.5%) - 31(36.5%)
The most straightforward track name against the most misleading track name. It is much closer than I thought.

Final Boss 2: The God-Slaying Sword VS The Key We’ve Lost (first part)/E3 2013 Trailer theme
36(41.9%) - 50(58.1%)
That E3 trailer still gives me chills…

Bonus – Awesome battle theme that should be played more: Unfinished Battle VS In the Forest
60(70.6%) - 25(29.4%)
It’s a given. The only reason I have this category is because I want Unfinish Battle to appear somewhere, but can’t find a matching theme.



===Field===
Gaur Plain VS N周L辺A (first half, Primordia Day Theme)
69(78.4%) - 19(21.6%)
The case of good theme being pitched against a track that’s out of its league continues…

Gaur Plain (Night) VS N周L辺A (second half, Primordia Night Theme)
52(59.1%) - 36(40.9%)
Much closer this time, but still…

Tephra Cave VS z?2f0i1e2l0d914 (Cave theme)
35(39.8%) - 53(60.2%)

Eryth Sea VS fiKAIeldJOU (first half, Ocean Day Theme) 51(58%) - 37(42%)
The ocean theme in XCX really is underrated… :’(

Eryth Sea (Night) VS fiKAIeldJOU (second half, Ocean Night Theme)
52(59.1%) - 36(40.9%)

Forest of the Nopon /Makna Forest VS N木ig木ht木L (first half, Noctilum Day Theme)
20(22.7%) - 68(77.3%)

Forest of the Nopon (Night)/Makna Forest(Night) VS N木ig木ht木L (second half, Noctilum Night Theme)
39(44.3%) - 49(55.7%)

Valak Mountain /Snowy Mount Valac VS 46-:ri9 (first half, Sylvalum Day theme)
36(40.9%) - 52(59.1%)
I thought Valak Mountain had a chance. Appearantly not.

Mechonis Field/Field of the Machinae VS 亡KEI却KOKU心 (Oblivia Day+Night Theme)
47(56%) - 37(44%)

Satorl Marsh (Night) VS 46-:ri9 (second half, Sylvalum Night theme)
39(44.3%) - 49(55.7%)
I thought it would be closer… Although Sylvalum definitely deserves it.

Central Factory VS 96-:rip (Cauldros Theme)
43(48.9%) - 45(51.1%)
THAT was closeeee - RIP Central Factory. In the beginning, Central Factory surpassed Cauldros theme by a decent margin, but then Central Factory and Cauldros theme shifted to a 50-50 split. And now this. Personally, I am on the Central Factory side.

Hometown VS N市L街A (NLA Day theme)
50(59.5%) - 17(20.2%)+17(20.2%)
Nothing surprising. Bye-bye NLA rap.

Frontier Village (Day+Night) VS MNN+@0・
28(34.1%) - 40(48.8%)
On a side note, 10 people chose pizza, while 4 chose pollen(heresy!).

In conclusion, XC "slaughtered" XCX in story tracks, while breaking even in the rest.



Riki the Legendary Heropon and MNN+@0 won as they should have.

Too bad my favorite songs THEMEX and Escape Boat Camping are absent.




Tephra Cave VS z?2f0i1e2l0d914 (Cave theme)
35(39.8%) - 53(60,2%)

 

Also, is this a mistake?

Tephra Cave is bolded even though it has less votes. (I also refuse to believe z?2f0i1e2l0d914 lost)



Around the Network

I still haven't listened to most of the XCX soundtrack, but XC's OST is one of my all time favorites. Best JRPG score of its generation, imo... unless Bravely Default counts as 7th gen.

It was a mistake, fixed. XCX's cave theme won. Thanks for pointing it out!



I've only listened to a few Xenoblade songs, but of the ones I've heard, they are really good

Nice to see Noctilum win against it's equivalent though.. really like that song :p

Have links to the original thread?

didn't voted before. would love to see the comparison with youtube maybe. if there is as it is hard to create videos comparing the ones above.

Only 40+ hours in XCX while I have 200+ in XC. Once I have more hours into XCX then I'll compare it, so far it is still XC who gets my vote.
