Team Ico’s games have done very well in these tournaments so far, but “Revived Power” might be a new record. I think the change in tone helps give it that extra bit of juice; rather than melancholy, it’s a sweeping epic.

Even the niche Falcom games are getting in on the action now! Zwei: The Ilvard Insurrection shares first in the group. It splits with Halo 3’s “Finish the Fight”; Halo hasn’t gotten a lot of love in these tournaments, but this is a strong showing; perhaps this is the song that changes it all?

It’s time for group play! We have 1,358 songs this time; we’re trying out 24-song groups this time, so we have 56 groups of 24, plus a 57th of 14. For the group stage, vote for as many songs as you like! Songs will be ranked based on how many upvotes they got compared to how many people voted in that round. 2For instance, if a group had 25 unique voters, and a song from that group got 15 upvotes, it would have a ranking of 60% After all groups are done, the top 384 songs from across all groups will advance to the playoffs.
…unless! After group play, but before the playoffs proper, there will be a wild card runoff! If an individual game places more than 10 songs into the top 384, songs 11+ per game will face off against songs 385+3Skipping any songs that would themselves be song 11+ for a given game in a play-in round.
We’ll be “feathering” groups; voting on group 36 will be active until Tuesday March 2nd at 10:00PM Pacific. Group 37 will start Tuesday and be active until Wednesday, and so on. Please listen to every song! Don’t just vote name recognition.
