All-time Favorite Video Game Music

[Aqualys]

I have a ton of video game songs that I love. In fact, I almost listen exclusively to video game music when I'm not playing something. Here's a small bunch of songs I love. A small bunch in a sea of musical gems, that is. No particular order there..

Oh, and while at it... it's different, but... Love that song.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aLcY_bRqEzs



Overall, Mother 3 pretty much has my favorite soundtrack of all time, rivaled only by Castlevania : Symphony of the Night. Anyway, I wanted to put so much more, but there's a lot that can't be found on YouTube, and iMeem (which I used a lot) has been bought by MySpace and I can't find my old playlists. Lame.

Also, this. Hehehe... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jhl9pJB-2Ak

Castlevania Series, and trust me, Wesnoth has a cool music too.

[Altaire]

Zelda games - <333 Playing Spirit Tracks on DS at the moment. It has wonderful music. I love the train track theme. Here's a village tune. Oh and, this never gets old imo.

Phoenix Wright - They have some pretty epic music that gets you all worked up during those trials in court. Cornered!

Professor Layton - Accordions <33. Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box theme *-*

Knytt stories - Minimalistic music ftw~ It's simple but enough to create magical atmospheres. Only one I can find on youtube.

Little Big Planet - I like their choice of background music.

Katamari Damacy/We Love Katamari - weird funky, happy music.

Pangya/Albatross18 - Relaxing and cute music. Perfect for golfing~

Star Wolf Theme - StarFox 64 (the best star fox ever)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LPPwdlgv2...re=related

Meta Knights theme

[proto]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pKofewfeSoY - if you dont like this, gms should ban you O_o

[Aaronock]

Hm took me a bit to find some of these seriously...-_-

Yoko Shimomura's City of Flickering Destruction on her newest CD collection Dramatica, if you want this whole thing I got it downloaded and at a great quality on my comp.??Yes, this is the woman who made many of KH's songs, but I think her best work will always lie with Legend of Mana, and this song to me just says it all.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wnzJBVg5uwQ


Boomer Kuwanger's stage theme from Mega Man X.??Just happens to be one of my fave Mega Man songs strangely enough.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E_IVbuC1ZSs

Langrisser 2's Last Battle Theme. Gah this was tough to pick just one song from this game but I think this one will be the best choice (Jeff will kick me later not picking Knight's Errant if he sees this post). Sad I can't own an english copy of this game since it never was released in America, and really its a darn shame I woulda loved it more than Shining Force 2 at the time.

Persona 3's Mass Destruction, AKA Battle Theme. I dunno, its just so off the wall and weird but somehow all the music in this game comes together to create a massive ball of AWESOME.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q9E3VR8Fnj0

Oh man I can put way too many songs I like down but if you are looking for video game music or ways to find it feel free to bother me about what you want I can find almost anything somewhere online usually.

I never played the original Langrisser 2, but I played the SNES remake, Der Langrisser. In my opinion, I prefer the remake version of that song, it felt more powerful to me. But it was nice to just hear that one too.

[Aaronock]

Really Der Langrisser ticks me off, the AI is too dumb, woulda been a near perfect game if it actually had a decent AI.

Remake Version of the Last Battle theme in Langrisser 2, or are you talking about the version the SNES one uses?

[Gabihime]

Ah, I absolutely adore all the music in Legend of Mana.

For absolute favorites I'd have to say

Dance with the Balamb Fish/Waltz to Space from FF8

Orchestrated Gerudo Valley theme from Ocarina of Time.

Ending Theme from Odin Sphere
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=edV2p68mB...re=related

Just about every single Hymnos song from Ar Tonelico and Ar Tonelico 2, but particularly Misha's exec.Paja, exec.RG Veda, exec.Phatasmagoria and with method_metafalica

Also definitely Meridian Child, Seiken Densetsu III.

I could name about a billion more.??Video game music was all we played at the reception to our wedding because we are ultra rad.


It's funny, we were driving somewhere with our teenie cousin and her mother (the zoo I think) and were listening to one of the Hymnos Concert cds. Grace (the little girl) loved it, and so her mom started paying attention to the music and she was all "this is really beautiful." She couldn't believe it was music from a video game :3
