Ok continuing on from my last thread, he’s a different question.
What is your favourite music from a Video Game?
So for me, there are two answers to this for me.
One: The opening theme songs for the VR Games, I expect you to Die. They are absolute and fantastic, and certainly channel that classic James Bond spy feeling. Cannot help but sing them.
Second, multiple songs from Final Fantasy XIV. To The Edge, Endwalker - Footfalls, Shadowbringers, some of the songs from the Alexander Raids , there’s too many to name, but these are all great, and seriously can’t stop myself singing along to any of them when they come on.
Still alive - Portal
Brilliant sound track!
the entire OST for Nier: Automata is amazing. i still need to play through Nier: Replicant and i think im looking forward to the music more than the game itself.
The carnival theme chefs kiss
One of my top picks. Music really sells the game.
I think the Katamari Damacy soundtrack is the one I return to the most. It’s distilled joy.
Surprised Darren Korb hasn’t had a mention yet.
Bastion and Hades have phenomenal OSTs.
Same here, i love Transistor’s music
honestly, the entirety of the final fantasy tactics soundtrack is my jam. especially when you recall specific moments when a track was played during the game. they have so much punch and they’re always so epic. the boss tracks rule!
The composer, Hitoshi Sakimoto, has done many other games and they often have a very similar sound.
dude yes! final fantasy 12 is probably my second favorite soundtrack, if I’m rating my personal favorites from final fantasy in general. the world of Ivalice and the music he composed for it just hit different.
Agreed. I may or may not use a lot of his music for my ttrpg games. Nobody sets the atmosphere of a city quite like he does.
couldn’t agree with you more, my friend! eruyt village immediately comes to mind. such a beautiful track. the beauty of the viera something as well! if you hadn’t played ff tactics advance beforehand, you probably wouldn’t have seen a viera before then. so it really just pulls you in. did I randomly go into the village just to hear the track from time to time? absolutely.
Zelda music, specifically from BOTW and TOTK. But all the Zelda games have great music.
The Hotline Miami 1 and 2 soundtracks are killer.
I finally watched John wick 4 and the music in the movie sounds similar to the Hotline Miami music.
For me it’s Doom 2016, it’s just insane! Mick Gordon is a genius.
Megaman without a doubt. Regular and X.
Oh Megaman X’s soundtrack was so rad. Also, Wiley’s Castle theme?? That song rips.
MegaMan 2 especially IMO.
I can’t pick one so here’s some of my favorites:
Ludwig, the Holy Blade
Devils Never Cry
Tenebre Rosso Sangue
The Hot Wind Blowing
And of course, Bury The LightChrono Trigger’s soundtrack is a personal favorite.
TMNT Turtles in Time. So overlooked. It is 100% unapologetic video game music, and it kicks holy amounts of ass.
Made me think of
It’s hard to pick a favorite but I find myself listening to the Hollow Knight soundtrack a lot while writing. It’s fantastic!
Shout out to the Hades soundtrack though, I play that while playing D&D and my whole group loves it
The music from Myst is probably my favorite
Pretty much anything from the first Ratchet and Clank game - Metropolis, Gemlik Base and Gaspar are some of my favourites
