Your favorite songs in video games

[Im Vince]

Thinking about what was my favorite song made me wanna start a new game of FFV

[Arch0wl]

I'm perplexed as to why this hasn't been made into a remix yet.

[Sakish]

Basically FFX has the best vgm IMO, feels so nostalgic whenever i hear anything from it.
Megaman 1-X
Most zelda games up till majoras mask
Doom 1
Hexen 1

[Reincarnate]

Arch:

This is my favorite from that game

Sounds a lot like something Enigma would make. I actually got permission from the author of all the music in that game to make stepcharts for FFR using his music but never got around to it (nor did anyone else haha).

[Reach]

Lots of good stuff here, but to mention a few:


This is IMO the best boss battle music in the series and probably in any RPG I've played to date. It's so fitting, especially when fighting some of the more epic and colossal bosses in the game.

It's epic enough to be the last boss theme, though it needed to be darker given the fight itself, which brings me to the next song.

(Audio quality in HD is better)

This is hands down one of the greatest pieces in the final fantasy series. It's so beautiful yet dark at the same time and a monumental finish to the game, incorporating all of the main theme songs of the game into one masterpiece. It's also particularly interesting because the first 3:12 is an intro which incorporates a cinematic sequence that beautifully preludes the main battle.


Though, one song in particular could top it I think. Sadly the audio quality was never good enough on the original SNES for this song to live up to Battle for Freedom, but this remake does it a lot of justice:

The way this song is broken into distinct movements, moving into a prelude and fugue and then ending in a monumental finish again incorporating many of the games main theme songs has never really been topped in the video game world.

definitely gonna have to spend some time checking out what's been posted here. y'all have good taste. gerudo valley from wind waker and stickerbush symphony from dkc2 are my favorites out of what I've skimmed so far. always loved both rusty ruins acts from sonic 3d blast, although I first played the genesis version of the game and really liked its music for the same zone as well.

it's really tough to pit my favorite 8-bit tunes against the huge orchestral arrangements I'm fond of, so I think I'll pick a song from each generation of consoles or something like that. here's one for starters, anyway. so damn groovy.

[KotHN]

epic

no seriously though, FFX-2 doesn't have my favorite music, i just like to point the soundtrack out cause it's glory is such a contrast from the horrible gameplay.
I also love almost everything chrono cross.

[T-Force]

5.) The World Ends With You - Emptiness and...: The version in game is cut to about a minute long, but still awesome.

4.) Final Fantasy VI - Fierce Battle: First off, this spawned one of my favourite remixes ever (go search The Atomizer by Mustin).

3.) Luminous Arc 2 - Retribution: It's game that most people don't know about, but still awesome. The music is a good reason why.

2.) MegaMan Battle Network 3 - N1 Grand Prix Battle: One of the best battle themes ever. Always got me pumped up when I heard it in-game.

1.) Golden Sun - Elemental Stars: Just... beautiful.

All of Nier's OST!!!!

[letschat6]

Zelda Theme Song, Pokemon: Elite Four music (all of them!), and this song that I heard on Wario Ware for GBA this morning :P

[Shikari]

Nice bump, never saw this thread.


I will make a list later, but any song by Daisuke Ishiwatari, this guy is a genius.

Welcome to FFR, letschat6.

[DragonIIDX]

Hmmm... pretty much all I listen to is video game music. I would say some of them are:

Metroid Series - Luminoth Temple Grounds - Metroid Prime 2: Echoes

Mario Series - Throwback Galaxy - Super Mario Galaxy 2

Zelda Series - Rockvale Temple (Outside) - Majora's Mask

Donkey Kong Series - Treetop Rock - Donkey Kong Country

F-ZERO Series - One Ahead System (Cosmo Terminal) - F-ZERO GX/AX

Beatmania IIDX Series - Chain Of Pain - IIDX 14 GOLD

Not going to post the songs, but I love practically anything from Sonic.

One that always gets me going is the original Chemical Plant song, and that's probably why I like Beware the Purple Water on FFR so much.

Also Rooftop Run from Sonic Unleashed/Sonic Generations. The song is just so fitting and catchy and I can't help but enjoy it.

I was never much of a classic video game player. I've never touched games like Zelda or FF so I can't even offer up decent songs from those. Sonic, however... one of my absolute favourites.

Edit: Screw it, I'm posting the Rooftop Run one. It needs to be enjoyed by more.

For anyone who hasn't played the stage, imagine yourself racing through a large city and sliding down rails from the tops of buildings and zooming through vast areas and just wreaking Sonic havoc.

Anything from Suikoden 2

What are you saying? Speak for yourself, I never saw this thread and I'm happy it got bumped.


I listen to way too much VGM, so of course I am going to just dump a bunch of songs here for you guys, and I guess I'll even tell you why I like the tune for whatever reason..

I LOVE this theme, it instills so much hope that you will find a way to save Yuna and (spoiler, but this game has been out for 10 years..) defeat Sin. It also has a darker tone to it that makes me feel a little sad because the pilgrimage is almost over and Yuna will die if she gets the Final Aeon. I'm always looking for this theme though and finding that other Zanarkand song too, which is also kinda good.

This is a really sweet song that has an upbeat tone to it, the lyrics (translated ones, that is..) are kinda cute too. It's a perfect song for the ending of Persona 3 that makes me kinda remember all that I have done in the game and make me feel nostalgic. So A+ for being the best possible ending theme it could be, since it achieved all that it was trying to.

This boss theme is SICK, I remember playing this game when I was 8 and thinking "I'm going to beat this boss and feel like a badass at the same time". The song is an overall awesome tune for a boss theme, but there are even better songs in this game, so go nuts and listen to them all.

This song is so sad. I beat all of FFTA2 and I don't even remember when this is used. I keep listening to it and feeling a little remorse though so it has to be when something bad happens like a judge dying or something, I can't even remember. It might even be used in the last dungeon, but I don't remember.

This song is the main theme for the whole game. It gets used in the Observatory that you get to go back to as many times as you want since it's basically HQ kinda for the Celestrians (which you're on a quest to protect the mortals..) but the worst part about this song is the fact that once you beat the game you never have the opportunity to hear it again unless you start a new game (which, there is SO much shit to do in the post game, so you really can't without alot of issues..). This game is excellent and I suggest to any of you who haven't played it already to atleast pick up the game, you deserve that much if you call yourself a JRPG gamer, or even just a RPG player.

I've never actually played Shatter, but this song is SO swagerrific. Let me just describe Shatter for you. It's basically breakout. BUT ON CRACK. It has enhanced visuals and so many new modes to play, and there's bosses and shit that you can beat. This game has really awesome music. Go and listen to some more. The best part of this song is in the middle. Pretty awesome for a breakout style game, huh?
It has like the biggest buildup of all time. It's so awesome.

I'll come back in this thread again soon, don't wanna dump too much at one time lol.

[smartdude1212]

Oh yes Shatter. 8)

Anybody who has played DI will appreciate this:

meh doesn't even compare to the original Sonic games. Not bad but just doesn't seem right to me. Ever since Sonic went 3D things went to shit. Yes I am a classic gamer and I still own all the old Sonic games.
