SWR had notably underwhelming music now that I think about it.

Casket of Star is probably the winner here, with Border of Life the runner-up. Jazzy Yuyuko is amusing.

Ah ha ha ha ha.

Anyway, Bhava-agra as seen through a child's eyes takes this easily. Honorable mentions go to...a lot. Wonderful Heaven (screw you all, it's better than Missing Power), Broken Moon, Darkening Dusk, The Ground's Color is Yellow, Dancing Water Spray, Mystic Oriental Love Consultation, Invisible Full Moon (better than the original IMO)...the list goes on.

What in blue blazes is wrong with you

This goes to my former favourite song in all of Touhou, Oriental Evening Sky. It lost out to Eternal Steam Engine overnight when UNL was released, but it is still by far one of my favourites. Props to Border of Life, as jazzy Yuyuko is indeed amusing.

Agreed. Not all of it of course, but a good deal of it didn't really seem like anything that special.

Kilgamayan · « **Reply #784 on:** December 23, 2009, 07:05:36 AM »

No, seriously, what am I missing here.

- Reimu's Theme I can't name (without looking it up) or play back in my head. That's not a lot of points in its favor.
- The Grimoire of Alice is admittedly good but dBu did a much better version.
- Flowering Night is uninspired. It sounds like the zillion other Flowering Nights used in various fan-made Touhou videos. Why can no one get this song right? Battle Gaiden should be the standard, not the crazy outlier.
- Septette is a step down from IaMP.
- Till When is still Till When.
- Locked Girl has never been anything special.
- Night Falls is a total travesty that pisses on the ashes of Evening Star. Whoever arranged this should be strung up by their testicles.
- Broken Moon is decent I guess. As are WGG, Lunatic Eyes, Higan Retour, Legendary Fish and both of Tenshi's Themes. None of them stood out to me, though, and the three non-Suika remixes were notably not as good as their original versions.
Should-be-obvious disclaimer: post is 100% opinion, like all music posts from everyone on this site
So yeah I don't get it. Compare this bag of decent-but-not-great to what UNL brought to the table and it's absolutely nothing noteworthy.

Border of Life, Flawless Clothing of the Celestials, Bhava-agra As Seen Through a Child's Mind, MOTHERFUCKING GRIMOIRE OF ALICE, and whatever that song which plays just before GIANT CATFISH is called.

Dishonorable mentions to the Evening Star butchering, and for UNL making sure I don't get to listen to Mystic Oriental Love Consultation again.

Flawless clothing of the celestials

Alfred F. Jones · « **Reply #787 on:** December 23, 2009, 08:03:02 AM »

I will admit that I am a bit biased when it comes to SWR's music for one reason: I don't play on the stages that have music I don't like much, and as such I kind of forget they exist. >_> Despite the blinding snow background, I play on Yuyuko's stage for that very reason; same with Aya's, Komachi's, etc. I don't like Tenshi's themes much, though. Can't explain why.

But Oriental Evening Sky owns so hard that I can't help but think of that as SWR's claim to fame. :x

Grand Octopus · « **Reply #788 on:** December 23, 2009, 11:37:57 AM »

Broken Moon by some margin. HMs to Bhava-agra As Seen Through a Child's Mind & Locked Girl.

Formless God · « **Reply #789 on:** December 23, 2009, 12:49:13 PM »

Evening Star (ARRANGE) dammit ! ~~And why the hell hasn't anyone uploaded it to 'Tube yet fdfjsldfdlksl~~

HM to Wonderful Heaven, Legendary Fish, Septette, Invisible Full Moon (both are better than the originals), and Fragrant Plants.

Even though Broken Moon is good, not as good as the official and unofficial arranged versions. And if I have to go with only SWR, Non-UNL themes, then I don't like most of 'em, though the Main Theme is good, and it's the basis of UNL's Main theme, what is awesome.

N-Forza · « **Reply #791 on:** December 23, 2009, 12:52:53 PM »

Going with the ending theme, Eastern Evening Sky/Star/whatever goofy translation was assigned to it.

HMs to Alice's, Aya's, Yuyuko's, and Sakuya's themes and Dancing Water Spray.

RainfallYoshi · « **Reply #792 on:** December 23, 2009, 02:17:35 PM »

Original SWR Theme: Crimson in the Black ~ Legendary Fish
HM to Bhava-agra As Seen Through A Child's Eyes

Remixed Character Theme: Lunatic Eyes ~ Invisible Full Moon
HM to Higan Retour ~ Riverside View

Lopsidation · « **Reply #793 on:** December 23, 2009, 06:08:35 PM »

I like Iku's pre-battle theme. Skies Above the Clouds, I think?
EDIT: Nope, it's Skies Beyond the Clouds. Well.

Fixed.

For original SWR themes, definitely giving this to Dancing Water Spray. HM to The Ground's Color is Yellow.

For SWR remixes, probably Evening Star. It just screams "I spend my days fucking with people's lives because I can" which fits Yukari perfectly :V
(HM to Broken Moon and Flowering Night. SWR Flowering Night is just beautiful)

Jaimers · « **Reply #797 on:** December 23, 2009, 10:58:22 PM »

Skies Beyond the Clouds and Flawless Clothing of the Celestials.
HM to Casket of Star and Tenshi's last spell theme.

From what I heard. I haven't even unlocked most music in the music room. :V

Bananamatic · « **Reply #798 on:** December 23, 2009, 11:00:22 PM »

Wonderful Heaven easily.
The rest sucks.

PoFV is a stupid, stupid game.

Who is your favorite final boss?

This therefore includes Mima, Yumemi and Shikieiki, as well as Suika and Tenshi.

I think I'm going to go with Suika, for being hilarious, endearing, drunk, and awesome. And for Miko Miko Suika. HM goes to Yuka, for psychotic rampaging and pajamas.

Kilgamayan · « **Reply #804 on:** December 24, 2009, 05:32:27 AM »

Sikieiki > Eirin > Yuuka > Utsuho > Yumemi > Suika > Tenshi >>> Kaguya > Byakuren > Shinki > Yuyuko >>> Kanako > Remilia > [Asteroid Belt] > Mima

??? Sariel, Konngara ???

GMOFucker: Makin' GMOs To Fuck 'Em · « **Reply #805 on:** December 24, 2009, 05:48:15 AM »

Uhh, probably Byakuren. She has nice hair and theme music. Plus her attacks and spellcards are pretty.

I like most of the final bosses in general, though.

nintendonut888 · « **Reply #806 on:** December 24, 2009, 05:57:26 AM »

Ruro's gonna love this question. :V Also, hear hear for right opinion on PoFV.

WHAT ABOUT KONNGARA, SARIEL, AND GIANT CATFISH?! D=

Yuka. Youkai moe is moemoe. Honorable mention goes to Tenshi.

~~Honorable mention to Reimu from CtC~~
~~Honorable mention to Giant Catfish because I totally forgot about it~~

Serela · « **Reply #808 on:** December 24, 2009, 06:02:57 AM »

Yuka. Although most of her fight is fairly easy even on Lunatic, I just love her backround and fight music, and the fight in general is pretty and fun.

Nine West · « **Reply #809 on:** December 24, 2009, 06:05:55 AM »

Yumemi, and I guess HM goes to Shinki and Remilia.
