Votes for Dearly Beloved (Kingdom Hearts II)

 * 1) I adore both versions, they're both beautiful. But KHII was the first game I got for the series, and this tune gets me every time.21:15, 30 April 2011 (EDT)
 * 2) Only because there was already too much violin in BBS. 00:46, 1 May 2011 (EDT)

 * 2) BBS is my so favorite in the series and this theme is my 3rd favorite of the many version of the song (Re:coded DB is the 2nd and KH1 is my first). 21:32, 30 April 2011 (EDT)

Votes for End of the World

 * 1) Biology <3 -- 18:23, 25 April 2011 (EDT)
 * 2) It's just so amazing, though the Heartless were quite annoying, the layout of this world is amazing. Not to mention the hidden part of Hollow Bastion. ALSO, not to mention that the picture itself plus the name creep you out beyond compare. 18:33, 25 April 2011 (EDT)
 * 3) Way darker. 10:18, 26 April 2011 (EDT)
 * 4) Successfully gives you the creeps even with the lights on at night; whilst TWTNW doesn't. Tambours Néant  Ensemble !  21:58, 29 April 2011 (EDT)
 * 5) Sucks that there wasn't as much story, but the music was better, there was Chernabog, heaps darker, more depressing. Wouldn't mind living there (yeah, I have issues.) TWTNW is just annoying boss fight after annoying boss fight after long cutscene after long cutscene.--Bananaphone1996 02:29, 30 April 2011 (EDT)
 * 6) Every area in TWTNW was collectively linear and similar to the last. Much better world here. -- 02:49, 30 April 2011 (EDT)

Votes for The World That Never Was

 * 1) Something about seeing Memory's Tower with Kingdom Hearts floating above it is just... chilling. --Xigbar_-_Replica_Data.pngAS IF! Xigbar_-_Replica_Data.png 17:44, 25 April 2011 (EDT)
 * 2) Couldn't see jack$#!7 in the big canyon in The End of the World, and no map made it even harder to navigate. 17:55, 25 April 2011 (EDT)
 * 3) Cool area names. [[File:EtherRCO.PNG]]==Pea 14733== [[File:AeroRCO.PNG]] 19:23, 25 April 2011 (EDT)
 * 4) I just love the layout abnd general design of this world... and the names throughout have so much symbolism...  20:47, 25 April 2011 (EDT)
 * 5) Because this world just look bad ass.
 * 6) If the final battle between Riku and Sora really did happen in TEotW then I would reconsider my vote. 10:47, 26 April 2011 (EDT)
 * 7) You gotta love this world. The music, climax of KHII, the battles...all awesome.
 * 8) I agree 100% with As If! (PS it's Memory's Skyscraper) 22:11, 28 April 2011 (EDT)

Hm. Now that I think about it, it's kinda hard to decide which world gets my vote.
