The Best Gaming Music Ever.


Recommended Posts

I love video game music in general. It can crossover so many genres and can hold a really special place in your heart because you have memories with the song and soundtrack in general.

 

I love all the champion themes in pokemon. I think they're all very epic in their own special way and fit the characters really well. Diantha's theme for example is really pretty.

This was in a video I was watching about the game earlier and it just got me remembering. Not saying it's neccessarily the 'best' but...dat game, dem memories.

Another iconic melody, though I posted this elsewhere t'other day.

Agreed. Though, the Sinnoh Champion is my favourite champion track

Fun fact, one of the hosts of Pokémon Smash, series Director Junichi Masuda and a couple of other GameFreak staff formed a band and actually did a song based on it with a music video

The OST caught me off guard. To be honest I wasn't expecting awesome tracks, but Infamous surprised me!

I should explain: To embed audio videos here, you only need the part I bolded (that is, the small code after the "=" symbol). Something like:

If we remove the asterisks, it becomes:

Thanks Jonnas. Know I know. :)

 

I'm on a Tuff E Nuff/Dead Dance craze. Rei had my favourite stage, and favourite theme from the game, tied with Zazi.

@Serebii Cynthia is also my favourite champion. That song is awesome and so is that music video. Wish it was longer though.

Ever since I got Spotify Premium a few months back I've been listening to the occasional gaming soundtrack as well as my usual stuff.

 

Today I fancied typing in Chrono Trigger, and the album it spat it is really great. Really great.

 

 

Track 9 At the bottom of the night is still the saddest song in a video game.

In pursuit of old gaming music that still sounds great, I came back to Phantasy Star Online.

 

Phantasy Star Online. Just listening to this epic track reminds me of the very best game Sega have made. Such memories.

I mentioned I was in a bit of an FF IV mood recently. Instead of starting a new file in it, or NG+ on the DS version, I've put the OCRemix Echoes of Betrayal, Shadows of Redemption album back on the iPod. A few stand out tracks have been:

Smiling Hilltop for Four Hands (aka Mt Ordeals!)

The Distant Worlds versions of FF music are pretty epic, especially live. I went to see it a few years ago at the Royal Albert Hall and I'm going back in November. To say I'm pretty hyped would be an understatement. There's just something about a live orchestra that I haven't seen anywhere else. It's weird. It's has a certain "fullness" about it, without being just loud. Probably something to do with the sheer amount of instruments being played. It's not something that can be captured in video.

 

Check the guy who fucking loves playing the triangle at 1:00:

This is from one of my favourite PSX games. This is Shyst's theme from the game. I think it's so pretty.

 

Oh my god, somebody who knows Puchi Carat. I used to play this one religiously on my PS1, thank you for the nostalgia. I will have to pick this one up again.
