Top 100 JRPG Battle Themes
This list was initially compiled many years ago, around the end of the 2000s
I think I still agree with the list at large, and it holds up. Listening all the tracks to look for the links has been a trip down memory lane
It is a neat relic of 2000s JRPG fandom
EDIT (3/07/2023): So I saw some streamers doing a game about picking your favorite song among two options from a bracket, like a tournament, so I went to the website that hosted such games and made my own playlist with the top 100 from backloggd! I made it for me and my siblings to play as a family activity, but I can share it with you guys. I added many more songs there to reflect on what BGMs would probably go in an updated list. Feel free to play it: https://new.uwufufu.com/quiz/worldCup/649e4e0f1b2be9ff9f794dea/rank
