Awesome thread with potential.

Where do I start?

Darkstalkers 3- War Agony

Guilty Gear- Haven't You Got Eyes in Your Head?

The music for the "Official Visual Guide" OVA and Playdia game based on the "DBZ Gaiden" Famicom game composed by Keiju Ishikawa was awesome, specifically this.

Likewise, the actual 8-bit version of that same piece.

And Yami's Theme.

Virtually infinite choices are abound! And each for a different purpose. Track order is the order in which I think of them, not a ranking system.

For relaxing to
1. Tifa's Theme (Final Fantasy VII)
2. Dead Sea (Chrono Cross)
3. Bran Bal, Village Without Souls (Final Fantasy IX)
4. Melodies of Life (Final Fantasy IX) [I prefer the English vocalist]
5. Corridors of Time (Chrono Trigger)
6. To Zanarkand (Final Fantasy X)
7. Nephilim (Xenosaga Episode I)
8. A Little Bird Who Forgot How to Fly (Star Ocean: till the End of Time)
9. Eyes on Me (Final Fantasy VIII)
10. Wind Nocturne (Lunar: Silver Star Story Complete) [Sometimes called "Luna's Boat Song", the English vocalist stirs my very soul with her voice]

For Getting Pumped
1. Imperial Garden (Star Ocean: till the End of Time)
2. The Landing (Final Fantasy VIII)
3. Empire of the Rising Sun Combat Theme (Command and Conquer: Red Alert 3) [I'm not sure this is the title...]
4. Allies Combat Theme 1 & 2 (Command and Conquer: Red Alert 3) [I'm not sure this is the title...punch it into YouTube or something]
5. Time's Scar (Chrono Cross) [Give it a minute, it only starts slow and melodic. You won't regret it.]
6. Otherworld (Final Fantasy X) [Woot! Rammstein!]
7. Real Emotion (Final Fantasy X-2) [Terrible game, great song! Why do I feel like 6 and 7 in this list want to kill each other?]
8. Gnosis (Xenosaga Episode I)
9. Battling Kos-Mos (Xenosaga Episode I)
10. One-Winged Angel Revised (Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children) [I'm bending the rules a little with this one]

I...I am such an RPG addict. O_O

There's too many. The music in my PSP are all from games and some animes.

I'm currently addicted to the witch lair music in Banjo-Kazooie.

Just a few of my favorites. I know most of those are Mega Man related, oh well, those are the ones that come to mind. That last one is from 20 years ago... some nice 8 bit music from back in the day.

Kendall112 · **Posted:** Fri Dec 30, 2011 5:37 am

I don't know where to start. My list is so random. ^_^'

At the moment, I can only think of Chun-Li's theme from the very first Marvel vs. Capcom. In my opinion, it's the best version of her theme.

Do theme songs also count here?

The one of Sakura Wars (original version):

Go Straight from the Streets of Rage Remake.

Best version of this song made.

Who could honestly forget the frighteningly chilling Silent Hill soundtrack composed by Akira Yamakoa? P-:

I swear that man is sheer genius... :ohmy:

Silent Hill 2 - Null Moon / Promise

Castlevania - Bloody Tears (Heavy Metal Version)

Roman55 · **Posted:** Fri Dec 30, 2011 11:21 pm

I certainly haven't forgotten Silent Hill.

But I prefer the vocal tracks by Mary Elizabeth McGlynn. My favorite of them all? Hell Frozen Rain from the Shattered Memories soundtrack.

Honorable Mention goes to One More Soul To The Call from Homecoming.

I love her work too, especially her songs who contributed towards SH3. This one: You're Not Here & this one even, which is my all-time favorite: Letter - From The Lost Days.

I forgot about those. I had gotten the SH3 soundtrack with the game. One of my favorites ever. I like the end credits theme from Silent Hill 3 Hometown. The original theme from the first game (which, itself, totally deserves to be on this tread So here it is), remixed, with lyrics sung by Joe Romersa? Hell yes.

I also got the Dead Rising soundtrack which came with the ending theme of the game Justified.

Don't know what it has to do with killing Zombies thou....

I also enjoyed hearing the Zero Virus music in ROCKMAN X5.
It brings back a lot of memories, for sure. It's a dramatic song and works well with the situation.

My favorite song from the X series is from Maverick Hunter X. Vile's Theme.

Someone, somewhere, is going to hate me for mentioning this: Rockman NEO. I mean Perfection NEO. I mean... whatever the heck the creator calls it now.
The fangame never went beyond concept and testing stages due to drama and personal crap I don't feel like talking about, but the soundtrack was killer. Mostly Infected Mushroom and Texas Faggott songs. I love the script, I love the music, I love the characters. Too bad it never went anywhere...

OK so Whenever I think of video game music, I always think of Whiplash for DOS... it's pretty old and the music is pretty bad-ish, but I always found it catchy. :blush:

That reminds me of the Gemini Project, the supposed plan to create an official American Sailor Moon game. After awhile it bombed.

Really, I just love the music from American McGee's Alice and Alice: Madness Returns. They have a creepy, gothic, madness vibe.

Princess Venus · **Posted:** Mon Jan 02, 2012 12:12 am

The music in the Sonic games. Especially "His World."

Sailor Tungsten Hawk, your list rules.

My favorite video game composer is, unsurprisingly, Nobuo Uematsu (since the majority of the games I've played are by Square). My favorite song is.. hmmm.... probably "Melodies of Life" from FFIX.
