This song has grown on me so much that I swear that it's like some form of foot fungus.

Ys.

While the La-Mulana song is nice and engaging, it falls short of the sheer beauty of the Ys one. With the flowing and majestic, yet still deep and somewhat foreboding melody set in quite natural-sounding or at least very high-quality instruments, it has won me over.

Also, I propose that the voting for the (semi)finals is held for a longer timespan than a single day.

Good one, NightKev.

And I'll have to think about the new one too.

This is a rather interesting standoff. Both songs are last boss themes (although they slightly differ as being the "first" (Xenogears) vs. the "second" themes of their respective games, with Xenogears' "second" last boss battle song being a rather curious/unusual one but all the more glorious in being that and SD3's "first" being more of an amelodic high-tension tune), both are melodic and paced similarly, and both are (if you ask me) great. Of course, there are differences - and the differences, I dare say, are indicative of the differences between the two games the respective songs are from themselves. In line with Xenogears' existentialist science-fiction setting, Awakening has a metallic, grim, somewhat cynical dark sound; Sacrifice(III), meanwhile, is, much like the general world the Mana games are set in, flashy and somewhat eccentric - although it quite easily sails around sounding inappropriately happy, it still has a certain widgetty (in the TVTropes "widget series" sense) flavour to it, perhaps something that immediately screams "JRPG" - and "Mana series" specifically - , that is absent from Xenogears. It is this flashy eccentricity, leaving me in somewhat of a want for comparisons with which to describe it (even the traditionally weird and distinctive Japanese musicians like Susumu Hirasawa or YMO don't quite hit the nail on the head) that gives Sacrifice (III) a certain edge in terms of uniqueness and recognizability that, although I might like the sound of Awakening more, ultimately, in a heart-rending decision, leads me cast my vote for Seiken Densetsu 3.

This one has better sound quality.

I think I'll have to go with Xenogears this time.

Ah, thank you. I didn't exactly take the time to find a good quality one, I just put up the first I found, and it sounded alright. That one is indeed better.

I think I'll give my vote to Seiken Denstetsu 3
