Sorry I missed a few days!
10)This is a tricky one.. I'm gonna have to go with a tie between Native Faith and Emotional Skyscraper ~ Cosmic Mind. Here are some reasons.
Native Faith doesn't fit Suwako's inner character much. The song is also too catchy and happy to fit a theme for her.
I dont really like Cosmic Mind because of its catchy fit. I don't think that this one's good for Byakuren much. For a final stage boss theme, I'd prefer a much powerful-like theme such as Kanako's.
11)Now lets see... Mamizou, Sakuya (EOSD) and Kanako.

Lunatic Princess out of my top 3, but they all rank really high. We need Kaguya in a fighting game bc of her epic theme.

Best Theme out of your 3 favourite characters?
While U.N Owen and Lunate Elf have much better arranges by far... In terms of original, I'll have to stick with...

11) Of your favourite three characters, which theme is best?So, Marisa, Alice and Reimu. I love Magus Night but... I absolutely love this song, especially the intro. To be fair, I always have a hard time deciding which of Alice's theme songs are my favorite (Grimoire of Alice, Doll Judgement), they're all pretty strong in my book. (Maybe except for Alice in Wonderland). I went for this one because it was a coin flip between this and Grimoire of Alice. 11)Now lets see... Mamizou, Sakuya (EOSD) and Kanako. Yay, someone who also likes Luna Dial! Was starting to believe I was the only one around who genuinely loved this theme.

I like the song, I was just humming it a minute ago, but the instrument choices hurt my ears... Maybe I don't want to reignite this discussion...

If the song had no melody, then it wouldn't be a song would it? Not all songs are gonna be very melodic, and in the case of Oriental Dark Flight, it's a song that focuses more on atmosphere than the actual melody. I would almost say Oriental Dark Flight would fit better as a stage theme, but it sounds too much like a character theme to me. Marisa has so many themes anyway, so I would assume that her themes all reveal are certain bit of personality or tell a story. You heard the arrange I gave right? Wouldn't you say the atmosphere of the song is... well done? The original and that arrange I showed, I always think of this song playing when Marisa is out committing theft. She is essentially being a 'cute bad guy' when she does that anyway, right? And in the game that introduces the Yama, I believe it fits perfectly. And I agree, PoFV does have some bad instruments. But hey, you have arranges to deal with that! You're right, it's not a song (^: I actually listen to ambient music all the time, but that's not what ODF is either, it's too strong. The thing is, you say you here this 'cute bad guy' thing when you listen to it. I can't hear that. I can't hear anything in this, because it's just dull and meaningless. And also if you think that's what ZUN was going for then the phrase 'you tried but failed miserably' is what comes to mind. Arranges are great for making the PoFV songs sound better, but PoFV's original songs have those instruments so I have to judge them for what they are, rather than what they are like in arranges. Gonna be plain honest here and say that you're wrong. This is a song, and it's a fitting song for Marisa. You're coming off pretty harshly on this song and even seems kind of rude, I dunno what the problem is here. To each their own, but you don't have to come off that way man. Maybe it's just the internet, and me interpreting it wrong. This song is not a failure, not even close to it honestly. That's how I feel, be aware of that. If you're saying it's too strong, then maybe the problem is the instruments. (see the arrange I posted before). As I said before, I firmly believe that Sara has the worst character theme in the entire series, with Magic Stones coming up not to far behind. And yeah, there's no 'it's his beginner days' excuse because look at all of the other great gems that come from PC-98. That's how I feel about it. Anyway for 11... Between Kaguya, Meiling, and Eirin, I'd saying Flight of the Bamboo Cutter and Gensokyo Millennium are tied for best. @dr. Marivig Maxisame I love Luna Dial. It's one of my favorite stage 5 themes after all. Like it more than Flowering Night too.

I meant, it's too strong to be ambience like you were suggesting. On the other hand, it's not strong enough to be a boss theme. That's how I feel about it. I think anyone putting anything below Bet on Death just has an irrational hate for whatever they put below it Seriously, nothing is worse than that pile of shit ZUN probably wrote in 30 seconds. I like Sara's theme though, I can't see what there is in it to particularly dislike other than it being short, but then again I can't see why you like Oriental Dark Flight. Just a matter of taste, I guess.

11) Corpse Voyage, ofc, but Yuuka's unused theme from LLS is also pretty damn good. 12) Arranges almost all the time, but there are a few ZUN songs I prefer the original of.

12) It varies from song to song, there are some that are way better in their original form but most of times I find that arranges outmatch them. That's probably because arranges aren't as limited as originals in terms of instruments and use of vocals. (Plus, arranges range from death metal to jazz and it's easy to find one that appeals to you, even if the original doesn't.)
