16 Songs Flipped:

I demoted 16 Final Fantasy instrumental songs to 4-star and replaced them with 15 vocals and 1 instrumental from the 4-star list who were promoted.

The demoted songs don't matter much anymore, though I can say they ranged throughout all the entries.  But the promoted songs are pretty cool and deserve their new moment in the sun:

Managarmr Sequestration Primal is the one instrumental that got a promotion.  I've wanted to promote this song for a long time.

Tsumugi's Summer Vacation became the new theme song for Tsumugi from Summer Pockets, because it's her theme song, which in hindsight was pretty obvious.

Kryptonite became the new theme song of Gohan, because I like Kryptonite based on the music video that featured cool scenes throughout Gohan's life set to this song.

Open Your Heart, Kryptonite, Ironforge, Natsu no Hi to Kimi no Koe, Hikari no Suashi, Will to Fight, Chase the World, Spirit Crucible Elpys, Particle Effect, Burn my Universe, shiniyuku kisetsu de boku wa, Distorted Flash of Light (Battle), Death of the Divine Dragon, Reunion and Sign (Spice and Wolf) were the vocal songs that got promoted.

8 of the promoted songs already featured as theme songs for my fictional character hall of fame.  8 are new entries and thus some names were shuffled around to them.  The demoted songs no longer had a guaranteed hold on their names so that's where the names came from.

All in all my Wonderful Playlist, featuring a song for every wonderful fictional character in existence, features all 1100 of my newly minted 5-star songs, 123 3-star songs and 200 4-star songs.  The 123 3-star songs are all there due to thematic reasons.  Of the 200 4-star songs, only 6 aren't there for thematic reasons, but just because they seemed like good and fitting songs for their characters:  Luca, Theme 12, Singing Mountain (unreleased), Dragonship Destiny, Shadows Dance in the Darkness and Ride On.

I now have 549 vocal themes and 551 instrumental themes in my 5-star playlist.  My plan had been to get vocals on top, but Managarmr ruined everything so instrumentals still have a 1 song lead.  Well, close enough. >.<.

For anyone interested in all the details, the Good Music and Wonderful Fictional Characters permaposts are the places to go.
