[wiIIow]

RULES OF NATURE!! Haha yeah...

But every song on the transistor soundtrack SLAPS-



And Undertale and DMCV ahh anyone else here excited for that??

Chyeah dude I love the Transistor soundtrack, sooo fuggin good

Undertale quickly became one of my top 5 games + soundtracks when I played it! Have you played the Deltarune demo yet?

 

[Memento Mori]

<3

 

[wiIIow]

This track from Klonoa always gets to me


Also K.K. Cruisin', babey

 

[waived]

Dark Souls II had quite a bit of quiet music intentionally designed to blend with ambient sounds and I think it set the tone of various areas very well.

 

[Midnight]

Guile theme from SF ... goes with everything. Some track from After Burner on sega ms can't remember/find which one.

 

[Eren]

 

[Glim]

Obligatory NieR+Drakengard since somebody posted Automata.






Love the eeriness of the Saya no Uta OST

DS2's menu theme is my favorite piece from the Souls series.

Pretty much the theme of "hollowing"

 

[netrezven]

very old one, years ago when i used to play such games - prince of persia 2

 

[daemonblight]

Just about anything Persona/Shin Megami Tensei.


I also love FFXIII's soundtrack, especially the English version of Sunleth Waterscape and Blinded by Light is THE best battle theme ever composed imo.



The Caligula Effect also has some awesome tracks.


There are so many incredible video game songs! Video games and their soundtracks are one of the few things that help me cope.

 

[Minudah]

This is also my favorite song ever

 

[Glim]

Invisible Full Moon by ZUN, from Touhou 8 - Imperishable Night, Stage 5 boss theme (Reisen's theme). There are a few others and they are the Fire Emblem main theme song of many of the series, and then of course Seiken Densetsu 3 (Secret of Mana 2) Sacrifice Part III.

Super duper secret Touhou 8 - Imperishable Night stage music unlocked only after beating it on Lunatic difficulty twice in a row without taking any damage :

Xenoblade Chronicles X, most Sonic game soundtracks despite how horribly cheesy they can be, and while I never played Nier Klaine's theme song still somehow gives me chills (the good kind, anyways).

 

[charlottewilts]

aw, it's hard choosing just one... i love video game music, these are just a few that bring the fondest memories

Spoiler: video game music

 

[Broken Chimera]

Just about anything Persona/Shin Megami Tensei. I also love FFXIII's soundtrack especially the English version of Sunleth Waterscape and Blinded by Light is THE best battle theme ever composed imo.

This. I got chills from the nostalgia. And thanks to Long Gui farming Blinded By Light is burned into my brain.

 

[Shinbu]

I love VGMs as well @charlottewilts.
Now for the game.
I'll name three game franchises from my 493 tracks of my VGM playlist. I think I'll be questioned as how do you remember what you like?. I did something kind of geeky. I hyperlinked all text that is the track name with their respective franchise name over it in Dropbox Paper, and I use NewPipe an android apk you can get on github to queue up, and play your youtube music, or playlist in the background without paying for YouTube Red, and NewPipe can used to convert hyperlinks into a queue, exactly like a playlist when clicking on them from dropbox paper (I do that in that fashion because sometimes I want to manually pick a track rather than just queue up my youtube vgm playlist to newpipe. Plus there is soundtracks I heard, but I never played the games. People have suggested to me in the past to listen to their favorite soundtrack. I've been collecting ever since. I like exploring music. Listening to music is my favorite hobby. I tried to be a musician, but I'm too mental impaired for that ;( .



Sakura Taisen / Sakura Wars
(I have the full song, but I provided the opening version since the animation looks good I'd like to share it with you all.


Devil May Cry 3


.hack//g.u.

Great games. I loved every volume, sure the dungeons can look boring, but I liked the voice acting in English, and Japanese. The full story is good, and better than SAO (im sorry to any SAO fans).

 

[Finis Autem Spero]

This whole gem of a game right here.
I remember playing this song at open mics and while busking when I lived in Ireland...good times.

RULES OF NATURE!! Haha yeah...

Also check out Pyre and Hades. Supergiant Games have the most consistently fantastic soundtracks since the original Spyro trilogy. Fuckin' Darren Korb

This is my absolute favourite from these games though:

 

[BabyYoda]

RPG soundtracks sound so beautiful, here's one that's covered by Sebastian Kingsley:

 

[Mr2005]

That's tough. Probably something from an rpg. There's some really good music in games. The composers are underrated. Terranigma on the SNES has an amazing soundtrack and I'm always blown away by the sound quality

 

[Whitrot]

I know too many to pick favorites, I do like experimental/weird and darker sounding stuff in general. Works well to drown out background noises.

 

[k75]

It's so hard picking just one. So I'm not going to.

I loved the Metroid Prime ost.

And all of the Silent Hill ones.

 

[CrescendoChiller]

Pokemon XD Gale of Darkness, Star Fox Assault, or Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles might be my favorite game soundtracks.

 

[lifetoldquickly]

Outer Wilds

 

[castler]

One would be 'telepathy by Crosses' from the NFSMW

 

[libbitour]

I would say super Mario galaxy when you're at the loading zone planet

 

[Andross01]

Skyrim was pretty good.

 

[MsMs]

Mega man x

 

[TiredLostHope20]

I like this one, its a remix however

 

[SkyrimFan]

[Alabama_death]

It's perfect, because I dream of flying away soon too
