      Yeah, it was crazy. I played both games to near 100% completion. Ragnarok was a masterpiece, but never once did it have anything to do with the soundtrack. The one amazing, memorable track in Ragnarok was Blood Upon the Snow, and that literally doesn't play until the postgame credits. It was a slap to the face of the time and effort that went into this track. Though there's always going to be a massive western bias in that award show.

      I mean the first use is the first moment of using Lucky Seven on Flame Clocks and definitely think that's very important. Like that entire scene is intense as Noah and Co. actively try to handle the Flame Clock. Both scenes are definitely also a matter of well. The weight of life in some fashion.
      Meanwhile I don't think Counterattack is used for much better past its first use. Many of those "strategy" scenes don't feel like there's any real trial and error. And while it is used for things like Mythra/Penuma awakening, I don't think it lands there either.
      At the very least, they're cool which is what it's all about baybeew

      @@Tsukiru I mean....the song is called "Counterattack" for a reason it literally played during Rex & company's Counterattack sequences
      If it didn't land I assume you missed the point of the awakenings since they are "a Counterattack" after being presumably down. Imo they landed you just gotta realize they scenario
