General VGM Topic

[MuraRengan]

Hopefully something like this hasn't been made. I searched and found a topic about VGM credits, but it doesn't suit the topic for general discussion for VGM that I was looking for.

Ok so, I'm a huge fan of VGM (Video Game Music.) In fact, 70% of my iPod consists of OSTs or Remixes of game music. There's just something about VGm that makes me prefer it to other music. I love the diversity of music that comes from VGM and the creativity that's inspired in making it. So, of course, I also love discussing it, which is why I made this topic.

I guess I'll start by listing my favorite OSTs and songs from them.

1. Donkey Kong Country 2 - Pretty much everything, especially Stickerbrush Symphony and In A Snowbound Land
2. Metroid Prime Series- Rundas's Theme (from Prime 3)
3. Megaman 2 - Pretty much everything
4. Majora's Mask - Calling the Four Giants, Astral Observatory, and the Song of Healing
5. Ocarina of Time - Pretty much everything
6. Blazeblue - Virtually every song of the soundtrack is amazing, especially Thin RED Line
7. Sonic Adventure - Again, another flat out amazing soundtrack, I especially like Knuckles's stage's songs.
8. Megaman Zero Series - From Z3: Cold Smile, Cannonball, Judgement Day From Z4: Red Hot Particle Canon, Misjudgement, Fall of Ragnarok
9. Chrono Trigger - Corridors of Time, Tyran Castle, Undersea Palace, World Revolution
10. Tales of Symphonia - Fighting the Spirit, Beat the Angel, Fatalize

More to come when I remember more songs. For right now, I'll link you to the song that I'm currently in love with: Music Madness - Donkey Kong Country Returns

I gave 'MuraRengan' permission to keep this thread since the old one (http://www.smashboards.com/showthread.php?t=88677) is pretty outdated.

And yeah, I don't see lists in this thread being a problem.

YES, Rundas' theme is amazing. It fits perfectly in his battle.

I'm surprised you didn't mention any Mario. Pretty much all of Galaxy 2's soundtrack impressed me.

Imo

A great game with an amazing soundtrack

Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Explorers of the Sky. Primal Dialga battle theme. Makes me so emotional ;_;

Pokemon White. Souryuu City. Really really great song.

Super Mario Galaxy 1/2. Great music all together.

If you have never heard of "The Advantage" I suggest you check them out.

Also this guy.

Halo 3: ODST had an amazing soundtrack. And it might not be a video game, but the movie Inception has a good one as well.

Lol, I forgot about Galaxy for a second. I've got the soundtracks of 1 and 2 on my comp lol.

Well, some examples that come to my mind:

Chrono Cross OST
TWEWY OST
Final Fantasy X OST
Final Fantasy VI OST
Suikoden II OST
Suikoden V OST
Wild ARMs OST


Also, even though it's technically only based on a game and totally fanmade, you'd probably like the "Blazblue: Crisis Reversed OST".

Sonic Colors, DKCR, and Dragon Age are three games I've played recently with great music.

 

[tko112]

for me, every song from Guilty Gear: The Missing Link was awesome, as well as Front Mission 3, Star Ocean: The Second Story, among others

 

[LivewiresXe]

Front Mission 3 had a really good OST, for sure. I still get the Imaginary Number theme stuck in my head sometimes. As for Star Ocean: The Second Story, I do admit that it has a good soundtrack, but the voice acting in that game is so unbearable at times that I often wound up playing it with the volume off making me nickname it "the best game I've played muted".
