Sheikah Posted September 22, 2008 Posted September 22, 2008 Well, I've always loved the FFVIII soundtrack but Crisis Core has taken some of the original FFVII music to the next level. One great example is "Fulfilled Desire" on the FFVII:CC OST - I urge everyone to try listen to this one. To me, the music in past FF games is unmatched. They really took the soundtracks of the games seriously and Nobuo Uematsu was fantastic. Majora's Mask had a few tracks that I like to this day. "Staff Roll" is pretty cool at some parts (jazzy sections), and the almighty Song of Healing Demo (the sheer nostalgia dripping from this song reminds me of the Christmas years ago when I was first playing this game). Chrono Trigger has an epic soundtrack. Frog's theme, Corridors of Time, Magus's Theme (forgot the name), Robo's Theme, Crono's Theme, plus a hell of a lot more. A great Corridors of Time remix was done by the CT Resurrection team, shortly before they were forced to stop. :/
Roostophe Posted September 25, 2008 Posted September 25, 2008 I've been taking in the Jet Force Gemini soundtrack over the last few days and apart from making me clamour for the good old Rare games of old, I have to say JFG features one of THE most unique soundtracks I've ever heard. It must be something to do with the 'natural' soundtrack mixed with the foreboding impactful space elements that makes it sound so powerful yet so natural at the same time which does it for me. A brilliantly (underplayed by many) title which has some of the best music in a videogame. My favourite: Oh, Jesus. I need to play that game again! JFG was a magnificent piece of videogame art. This also gives me some ideas for future articles of mine...
tapedeck Posted September 25, 2008 Posted September 25, 2008 I'd love to see an update of JFG. It would look utterly amazing in HD and online shoot outs could be incredible. The original still looks wonderful today with a crisp almost "skittles" coloured world.
darkjak Posted September 28, 2008 Posted September 28, 2008 My fave game soundtracks have to be: Lylat Wars Shenmue Zelda: Ocarina of Time Metal Gear Solid 3
D_prOdigy Posted September 29, 2008 Posted September 29, 2008 The first two Prime games had some awesomely atmospheric music. The way the soundtrack seamlessly blended with Talon IV was the closest thing I'd ever gotten to true escapism in a video game. Then you just couldn't help crapping your pants every time you walked into a room, everything went dark and you hear that ear-piercing screech of the Chozo Ghosts. But I always remembered the music that played when you fought Metroid Prime Core. They used it for the Echoes trailers as well - never failed to send shivers down my spine:
Beast Posted September 29, 2008 Posted September 29, 2008 My favourites are: Super Mario Galaxy Metal Gear Solid 3 Final Fantasy
Pookiablo Posted September 30, 2008 Posted September 30, 2008 Body Harvest has some pretty good tunes but it just really lacks a variety of music - either way, it really does suit the atmosphere of the game. Otherwise, Perfect Dark is utterly amazing. However, crowning achievement goes to Mystical Ninja 2 Starring Goemon. Absolutely bloody brilliant!

Helmsly Posted September 30, 2008 Posted September 30, 2008 (edited) I've never played Super Hang-on but I heard this track from the game the other day Audio Edited April 7, 2009 by Helmsly
RoadKill Posted November 2, 2008 Posted November 2, 2008 As an fyi, if anyone really likes Video Game Music, come to the VGM Central DC++ hub, read the rules first and shit: http://www.vgmcentral.com
D_prOdigy Posted December 10, 2008 Posted December 10, 2008 Zomg. There was no-where else to post this, so here will do nicely (this isn't me btw, I just think it's pure awesomeness)
Darkspine S Posted December 11, 2008 Posted December 11, 2008 These three tracks from Grandia 2 are awesome to fight with. Brilliant game too.
Tellyn Posted December 11, 2008 Posted December 11, 2008 Queen Rutela's Theme from Twilight Princess, a remix of the Serenade of Water. Beautiful, haunting, very atmospheric.
Roostophe Posted December 11, 2008 Posted December 11, 2008 These three tracks from Grandia 2 are awesome to fight with. Brilliant game too. I've got to agree. Grandia II is one of my favourite games ever. It was such a fantastic game and I've been fighting the urge to play it again.
Jav_NE Posted December 12, 2008 Posted December 12, 2008 Ocarina Of Time - that valley one. I forget the name but its the place where you escape prison and do the horseback archery etc. Great music. I also love all Rare game music, particularly Banjo but Perfect Dark also has some rocking tunes.
Helmsly Posted December 14, 2008 Posted December 14, 2008 Starfox assault wasnt the best game but I think it has a very good soundtrack. Even if most the tracks are simply orchestral versions of Starfox 64's music, for example Star Wolfs theme:
killer kirby Posted December 15, 2008 Posted December 15, 2008 Well...it's been a while since I have looked at this thread and well....my top 3 have changed BIG TIME. Gone is Final Fantasy and Metroid and now.... 1.Dragon Quest Oveture (This song alone makes it sound more epic then any other game ) Heavenly Flight 2.Zelda (Already enough of the songs on this thread ) 3.Persona Persona 3 Mass destruction (battle music) The Battle For Everyone's Souls Persona 4 Reach out to the Truth (battle theme)
Mundi Posted December 15, 2008 Posted December 15, 2008 Bomberman 64 without a doubt for me. <p>?rel=0&autoplay=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></p> My favorite
Pookiablo Posted December 16, 2008 Posted December 16, 2008 Bomberman 64 without a doubt for me. <p>?rel=0&autoplay=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></p> My favorite You, me, marriage? Those tunes are just so good!!! What a great game!
Helmsly Posted March 9, 2009 Posted March 9, 2009 Phantasy Star online had some great music: Forest (Mother earth of dishonesty) Audio Tricktrack part 2: Audio Jungle - A lush load Audio
Goafer Posted March 14, 2009 Posted March 14, 2009 Jet Set Radio gets my vote. It's the only soundtrack I've ever bought. Other notable ones for me: Shenmue F-Zero Sonic Adventure (Ok, I just liked the intro music) Virtual On Rock'n'Roll Racing (Midi rock is awesome) Outrun
nekunando Posted March 24, 2009 Posted March 24, 2009 (edited) Super Soccer on the SNES.. first game me and my brother ever owned We were playing it at the weekend there and it is still amazingly fun to play.. and the music was fantastic! Each team had their own track which played during half of the match.. so many great memories The next couple of videos take you through the music for 'all' 16 teams (there is a hidden team ) Part One (including Intro Music) Part Two Nintendo Team Well worth a listen The penalty shootouts in Super Soccer are the best I have ever played in a football game too.. not bad for 1992 It's also worth watching the following video to see the Intro and the music during the selection screens I would love a DS sequel! You could set your goalkeeper to Automatic or Manual.. but Manual was by far the best way to play- it really was amazing, especially when you pull off some fantastic saves : peace: Edited March 24, 2009 by nekunando
Grazza Posted March 24, 2009 Posted March 24, 2009 The entire Dragon Quest VIII soundtrack is stunningly beautiful, but I find "Over the Sorrow" in particular more moving than I can explain:
