Favorite Video Game Music

Post Reply New Topic

I could listen to Dancing Mad for hours. Ori and the Blind Forest was an absolutely amazing game with a fantastic soundtrack. The entire Metroid series was filled with amazing music. Lately I've been all about happy nostalgia, so here's some of mine.

How about a little Sunshine in your life.

Not exactly happy music, but it's happy for me. Memories of my childhood.

An entire playlist of the OST of one of my favorite Sega Genesis games, only trumped by Phantasy Star 4.

The full OST of my #1 Sega Genesis game, and one of my all time favorites in general.

*Edit: I guess playlists don't work here, oh well.

You missed one.

As cool as One Winged Angel and all it's remakes over the years have been, the Jenova theme is my favorite when it comes to the epic boss music.


And it's Advent Children remake.

The Black Mages are incredibly fun to watch and listen to though, is that Nobuo Uematsu himself on the keyboard?

Street Fighter Ex plus Alpha has some memorable songs:





Tracks like these in fighting games help me keep playing long enough to overcome the "noob threshold"

I find the theme song from The Wolf Among Us to be highly addictive.

Yes, he is the the happiest man alive there.

The skies above is another great one, they perform with so much energy and rhythm.

Easily the most emotional Nintendo or GBA game I've ever played, even just listening to the music makes me get a little teary eyed.

Happier remix of the same theme, pretty much.

I'm just rocking to the Black Mages now! It's actually making my stimming more intense.

Careful, this one comes at you with a blast of loud guitar pretty quickly.

The Ys series has always had pretty fantastic soundtracks, electric guitar fits the brutal difficulty, and you should see me playing difficult video games, it's not so bad anymore now that I'm older, but when I was younger, it was nearly impossible for me to sit down and play, I needed to be standing at all times. I'm still fidgety, I'm not really used to referring to my habits as "stimming" yet, I always just called them my weird habits. My toes are always moving, so are my fingers, and to a smaller degree, my knees, legs, and head.

This one gets me going pretty good.

My favorite game music growing up was FFVII's Cosmo Canyon theme.



FFXIV has some pretty nice music too, although it tends to be either ambient or more along the lines of J-Rock. Some of the battles start off slow, and then pick up into almost a different song (in Shiva's, at 3:20).

I remember watching the intro for the game "Soul Blade" literally hundreds of times when I was growing up, I loved that game to pieces, as much as the Final Fantasy games were also an incredible part of my childhood, I can't think of a PSX game I played more than Soul Blade.

I need to start playing that game again. I stopped after getting a few classes to 50 and took a break. I looooved the Titan battle, mostly because it's the first real battle that started to hook me and make me really enjoy the game. The way the final phase Titan just starts to go insane on your group and do all kinds of crap makes the music just really intimidating. Hard mode was even more fun.

Oh, yeah, Titan was a surprise when I first stepped in expecting it to be easy and then I got punted off the arena. Extreme mode is just insane. We're getting new dungeons and a new 24-man raid this month, so this is a good time to be playing.

Since we're on a bit of a JRPG kick here, I found a game called Sword of Mana (related to Secret of Mana) on GBA that had a surprisingly catchy soundtrack.

That game wasn't perfect, but I definitely enjoyed it enough to beat it from start to finish. If you want the pinnacle of the Mana series in my opinion, give Seiken Densetsu 3 for the SNES a shot if you can get your hands on it. I really liked Lester's Harp playing in Sword of Mana. It reminded me of Edward from FFIV.



And here's a track from Seiken Densetsu 3.



Played in a nice grinding area too, so it never got boring.

Hello, Derolis! How have you been?
