Im sure people will mention some of my favorite tracks from the newer generation of games, so i thought I would go a little bit more old school (but not quite all the way into old school, that would be SNES and before)

Guardian Heroes. delicious use of saxaphone in a rock-ish setting.


Your rival's battle theme song:


And im sure someone has mentioned it already, but the Persona soundtrack (3+4)

Final Fantasy IX. Best soundtrack ever. And the best game ever.
Oho you're so funny. I admit IX has a good soundtrack but the best FF?

That title goes to Final Fantasy X and it's soundtrack.

Various examples include...



No way man. FFX was complete ass. The Soundtrack was okay and the battle system was good. But the Story and characters and everything else fucking sucked hard.

More awesome IX music.

Bastion, Halo, Cave Story, Zelda, Persona, Dark Souls all deserve honorable mentions but the winner for me will always be Neotokyo* the Source mod. Every single track from that mod is a fucking masterpiece.

Oh please. X is brilliant! The music was calming, soothing and awesome. I've actually attempted playing IX lately but i'd just... meh-ish. In my opinion, although the soundtrack is nice.

X is my favourite FF game.

If Nobuo Uematsu had a hand in it than I will like it as the worst case. My favorite OST though would probably have to be for Final Fantasy IX.


Why yes, I did just post the whole thing. Vamo Alla Flamenco, The Jesters of the Moon, Steiner's Theme (ESPECIALLY STEINER'S THEME), Ukele le Chocobo...I love all of these: They have a personality all their own and really convey the characters and situations they're attached to, especially Steiner's Theme.

JSRF, Bioshock 1 & 2 ( 1 is better but 2's main theme is <3 )

Shadow of the Colossus is also beautiful, although I'm not fond of all the tracks it's still amazing.

Journey because Austin Wintory rocks.

And every single Guild Wars game because woo Jeremy Soule!

What? We've gone two whole pages and haven't heard from Chrono Cross yet?

Dreamwatch of Time:

Quitting the Body:

People Imprisoned by Destiny:

The gameplay and plot aren't quite up to snuff, but the OST is fantastic.

I love Super Meat Boy's soundtrack as well as The Binding of Isaac's, both by Danny Baranowsky and contributing artists and remixers. Here are a few I particularly liked.

PLAY IT. PLAY IT NOW. IT IS BETTER IN EVERY WAY.

Moar!
It's not age that's the problem since I went through FFVII and VIII recently in the past few months, so it must be another problem as to why I don't like it... it's art style and character design and how the gameplay feels a looks kinda ticks me off.

It is not better in every way.

The only reason the art is like that is to counter act the REALLY fucking dark undertones during certain parts of the game. *Cough* Genocide *Cough* Death *Cough* Mortality *Cough*

When you get to Disk two these things really come into play. Bermecia, Cleyra and Lindblum go though genocide. The Black Mage Village goes though mortality as with Kuja in the later parts of the game. And death is evident in many fucking locations as well, usually going arriving hand in hand with the other two.

If I saw that shit with Art similar to VIII the game would have been very fucking depressing to play through.

Plus the gameplay is most similar to the Final Fantasy games that came before VII.

I second Bastion. Some of my other favourite video game OSTs include Shadow of the Colossus, Chrono Trigger, Soul Reaver, MGS 4, Mass Effect 2, Final Fantasy VI, Sly Cooper and Deadly Premonition. Here are some of my favourite songs:

Wow, two pages and no love for Castlevania: Symphony of the Night? Or is that so obvious it didn't even warrant mention?


Also, Beyond Good & Evil:


Of course, being and old school gamer, I love me some chiptunes and MIDI. One of the first game soundtracks I actually paid attention to was this one:


And this one:


And before that, there was Journey to Silius, the first NES game to sport an extra chip just for the soundtrack:


There's a LOT more, but enough is enough...

Say what you will about Mass Effect 3's ending, but "The End Once and For All" is one of the greatest OST's ever made in my opinion.

/thread haterz!


I've been listening to this song for a year and a half and it just does not get old. It's so fantastically amazing.

Oh and LoL has some surprisingly awesome log-in music


Lulu's is obviously still the best, being all whimsical and all. Oh one of her skills is called Whimsy? HOW 'BOUT DAT SHIT?!



I still love how much Syndra's log-in music fits her as a character. So badass

"Let them try to stop me."

Alright, as some of you may know, I'm a massive Ace Combat 5 fanboy, it's definitely in my top 5 favorite games ever released or to be released. So, I'm going to have to say the most outstanding and beautiful OST is from that game. I'll provide an example:
^ I highly recommend that one.

And this one
Oh, since I'm also a Massive Mass Effect fan, I should also mention the music in Mass Effect 2

EDIT: Oh, also Mass Effect 3's music was a whole lot better than I thought, especially because they replaced Jack Wall in the making of it...
