Which game has the best music, in your opinion?

flame me if you want. I love the music from Maple Story. One of the best parts of the game.

I uploaded the OST.

Onto more important matters:

Tales of Symphonia. Ok, I know right away that Moogy will hate on me for this due to my seemingly-obsessive compulsive behavior toward this game, but it really is the greatest soundtrack to a video game I've ever heard. This game inspired me to seek out other games featuring Motoi Sakuraba and either buy them or get their soundtrack at least. But none of those other soundtracks could compare to this one. There's just no way.

The only interesting thing about the soundtrack is that it completely lacks both the Japanese and American introduction songs. I had to rip the American one from the AVI of the intro and I just happened to stumble across the name of the Japanese intro while watching trailers previous to my purchase of this fine game last summer.

MarioRPG (cause it's the typical Mario sounds which is fun to play along to)
FF4/5/9. FF7 was my favorite of all.
Legend of Dragoon wasn't anything special at all but had some decent ones.
Legend of Mana had some nice ones.

Goes to show I don't care too much for the music and more of the enjoyment of the game all together.

Xenogears, no question. Mitsuda at his absolute peak. How can you argue with Bonds of Sea and Fire, Flight, Leftovers From the Dreams of the Strong. and Omen? And this just scratches the surface of the amazing selection of music on the OST.

One game I have to mention, that I don't see mentioned nearly often enough when the topic of OSTs comes up, is Donkey Kong Country 2. Every track in the game is amazing, and each fits the level it plays in absolutely perfectly. This isn't an easy thing to accomplish when you have levels that take place in giant beehives, among other weird locales. The only real problem with this OST is that it originated on the SNES, and thus just can't stand up to more modern fare. If there was ever an OST that deserved being redone on modern sound equipment, it was this one.

I actually haven't been that impressed with most of the Saga Frontier II music I have heard. A lot of it is really bland and pounderous to my ear (even the oh so wondrous Feldschlat III). I do remember there being some really good tracks from back when I played a third of the way into the game years ago, but the OST as a whole was nothing too striking for me.

The best soundtrack I have heard for the current console generation is probably Phantom Brave's. Lots of really good, complex stuff is on this OST, including the most amazing snow piece I have ever heard (and I just love good snow music). Tenpei Sato is one of my favorite composers now, and I am looking forward to hearing his next full game OST.

I doubt the vast majority of you have played: SaGa Frontier II.

Hey now... I have that game. I'm going to have to agree with you too. The music from this underrated game beats ANY Final Fantasy any day of the week. Speaking of which... I need this ost. WHY DONT I HAVE IT YET?

ahhh BlueLaguna is my friend.
