For this week’s music post, I thought I would change things up a bit and put two pieces of music up and let you guys vote which ones you prefer. If this sort of thing becomes popular, then maybe I will do some sort of tournament one day, but don’t get your hopes up.
Today’s selections are Bloody Tears from Castlevania II: Simon’s Quest for the NES and Cursed Places from Dragon Quest IX: Sentinels of the Starry Skies for the DS. Bloody Tears is a song that appears in most Castlevania games, but its entry in this game was highly memorable, in my opinion.
It’s no secret that I have been playing DQ IX and this song is the first one that really jumped out at me, so much so that I would go into a town just to hear the music play. When I saved the town from the plague that had been ravaging it, the music changed to a bouncier theme and I was pretty upset. Thankfully, I found it online, so let me know what you guys think and vote now! VOTE NOW! VOTE NOW!
Castlevania II: Simon’s Quest – Bloody Tears
Dragon Quest IX: Sentinels of the Starry Skies
Something about the Castlevania one just grabs me, though I totally see what you mean about the music in the town having a cool effect. Great selections.
I chose bloody tears but only because of this

Blood Tears certainly is catchy, but there’s just something about Cursed Place that I prefer, not sure what it is, but i like the DQ IX song better.
