The themes from the same game! This could be interesting. Vote here (http://www.squareenixmusic.com/uematsu.php).

"Force Your Way". I enjoy "The Oath", but it's one of those tracks that requires a human performance, and there's not so much of that from FFVIII's synth. "Force Your Way" on the other hand shines perfectly well on the PS synth, and is one of a handful of great battle tracks from that game.

I'm definitely voting for Force Your Way. It's one of my favorite battle themes, especially for FF8. The Oath is dull and overrated in my opinion...

I agree completely, "The Oath" just sounds so awkward in it's original form..

Sounds like a good time for me to jump in. Both tracks from this amazing soundtrack are very well done. The Oath is a great track, but both the FLWV and the PC versions greatly improve upon the original. Force Your Way is a wonderful battle theme, has great synths, and is best left in it's original form. Therefore it gets my vote.

I'm also going to go with Force Your Way, even though I'm a big fan of The Oath as well.

FYW FTW! If you don't understand this, please let me know. It's a great song and one of the better boss battles out there. And as stated above, it's much better in its original form than that of The Oath.

My vote goes to Force Your Way. The Oath is quite nice for the scenes it accompanies in the game, but it doesn't offer much when listened to alone. Force Your Way, on the other hand, is a wonderful battle theme with a nice melody.

The Oath is a great track, but both the FLWV and the PC versions greatly improve upon the original.

FLWV=?

I don't understand this!:D

Force Your Way for the win. If you did get it and were being sarcastic, I definitely didn't notice. I've been tired as of late.

No, I wasn't sarcastic, I really didn't get it. (Dumb me:D ) Thanks for the clarification though!:thumbs:
