So I've been staring at this list for quite a while now, and even with the limited options, this decision is incredibly difficult.
Can't I just choose all of them? Please?...No?
...Okay, I've decided. First of all, Other. Romance in Andante is probably the closest thing I have to a favorite song in the game. Sometimes I feel like the only person who prefers this version to II. Even though it's only played during the credits, the feels I get whenever I hear it after finishing a route are immense, especially with the segue to Wiosna. That Am7b5 chord gets me every time. I almost wish it didn't resolve back to G just so I could have that chord ring in my ears all day. No matter when I listen to this song now, chills always run down my spine.
And then, for something off the list, after a very close decision between Breathlessly, Innocence, and Parity, I went with Parity, although I wish I could have gone with all 3 (or really all of the songs). The first two are incredibly beautiful, feels-inducing songs. Seriously, when Innocence started playing at the end of Hanako's route, I came closer to crying while reading/watching/listening to something than I have ever come to in my life. Then of course there's that beautiful chord progression when the strings come in and in the following section. But Parity is just...Parity. It easily provides the least feels out of the songs I've named here, but that's okay cause it's just an amazing jazzy piece. And of course, it's Rin's theme to boot. My favorite song on the list by a small margin. /overly long rant
