Radiant Dragon Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 It gets dull pretty quickly, and Lyn Mode being just dull in general doesn't help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Byte2222 Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 Being the worst doesn't imply that we think it's awful, just not as good as the others on offer. Personally all of those mentioned on my worst list were ones that annoyed me a bit, I don't actively dislike any of them. Oh, and I actively admitted to jumping on the bandwagon and wouldn't be surprised if a load of its votes were "yeah, now you mention it I don't really like that one, let's vote for it."

Just call me AL Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 (edited) Being the worst doesn't imply that we think it's awful, just not as good as the others on offer. Personally all of those mentioned on my worst list were ones that annoyed me a bit, I don't actively dislike any of them.It's still better than the unmoving snoozefest that is "Change of Scenery." I actually agree with Red Fox when she says it's a perfect match for Lyn's chapters, and it's a bit catchy, and it gives off a nice "beginning of a journey" feeling to boot. Sure it's not the best map song, but the people that are voting it for worst are giving it far less credit than it deserves.

Shadow Mir Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 (edited) My problem with Winds Across the Plains was that it got old rather quickly, and not helping was that Lyn mode in general was boring.

Florete Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 It's still better than the unmoving snoozefest that is "Change of Scenery" though. I actually agree with Red Fox when she says it's a perfect match for Lyn's chapters, and it's a bit catchy, and it gives off a nice "beginning of a journey" feeling to boot. Sure it's not the best map song, but the people that are voting it for worst are giving it far less credit than it deserves. Exactly. I also look at context. Change of Scenery is in some serious maps, most notably Chapter 17. I haven't read the story for that game in a long time, but I can't imagine the events going on at that time are worthy of such a boring tune when it's the only 4 part chapter and precedes Ike's promotion. On the other hand, Winds Across the Plains is in the very beginning of the game, in the tutorial no less, where it fits rather perfectly. I'll admit, though, that part of the reason I like it may be nostalgia seeing as it was the first map theme I ever heard in FE. In any case, many people voting for it are probably just like Byte2222 said and are really only bandwagoning because they didn't know what else to vote for. Can't say my vote for Worst was much different... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junkhead Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 I like Wind Across the Plains :( It's redundant. You get really tired of it. One of the reasons why LHM is such a headache at times... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swordsalmon Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 You guys really do hate that song, don't you... It's bland, used for almost one-third of the entire game, and in the most boring chapters. It gets extremely grating. At least Change of Scenery is done after Chapter 17. Friendship and Adventure was also pretty bad, too. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caliban of Sycorax Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 Well, as 'early chapter' themes go, FE8's Distant Roads isn't much better. Ditto to FE7's "Companions". Or maybe that's just because Pussywood Plailywood Eliwood irritates me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought Companions was pretty good... It's not the song's fault Eliwood's subpar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RNG Princess Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 (edited) Best: This one! its sooo pretty <3 Worst: I can't recall anything worst but I wasn't fond much of Ike's map themes in RD. Edited March 18, 2011 by Queen_Elincia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackavar Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 Best: FE4 Ch10: Light and Dark Worst: FE8 Tower and Ruins maps: Confront the Past I generally leave the music off in FE8, sadly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grithalmur Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 Whoa, almost missed this one! Best: Truth, Despair, and Hope (Sacred Stones Ch. 16-20). Honorable Mentions to Eternal Bond (RD), Inescapable Fate (Blazing Sword), and Footsteps of Fate (Shadow Dragon) Worst: The Time to Act (Shadow Dragon Ch. 1-12).

Can't say my vote for Worst was much different... On that note, I personally think some of the later Lyn mode maps were pretty serious. I'd have problems seeing Winds across the Plains fitting on, say, the map where you're about to confront Lundgren. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, I would have liked it if they had used Companions for that battle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
