Favorite Vijagaims Songs

[Kim]

So, what video game songs are your favorites?


Here are some of mine...

Rave On- Killer 7

This Machine- Sonic Heroes

Whatever the opening song for Chrono Cross is called.

Everything from the Mother series. Especially Eight Melodies, Pollyanna, and Giygas...

Gangplank Galley from Donkey Kong Country is my favourite. I squealed like a little girl grinned a manly grin when I heard the Brawl rendition of it. DK had some really good beats in it. The Mineshaft and Bramble themes from DKC2 are also standouts from an all round pretty stellar field.

Whatever the opening song for Chrono Cross is called.

Scars of Time, for the record.

Anywho, my favorites are probably the Wily Stage 1 theme from Mega Man 2, Black Dream from Chrono Trigger, and the opening theme from Yoshi's Story (Because GODDAMMIT that thing is adorable).

Lufia 2's Fight with the Sinistrals is good, as well. Can't say I liked much else from Lufia 2 music-wise, though.

Gothic Neclord from Suikoden 2, along with Mad Luka, Suspicion, Reminiscence, Tension... The list goes on. Suikoden 2 had some good music, but a lot of it is hit or miss, to be honest.

Speaking of Suikoden, the opening theme from Suikoden 3 (Roughly translated as Transcending Love, I think), is a very nice piece of gaming music.

Though every single Chrono Trigger (And most of Chrono Cross) track gets honorable mention on account of being an absolutely amazing soundtrack. Final Fantasy Tactics had an amazing soundtrack, too. Finally, Mega Man X gets my "This whole soundtrack is made of win" declaration as well. Armored Armadillo, Flame Mammoth, and Boomer Kuwanger are my three favorites, but it's an all-around good soundtrack.

...Damn, I need to pay more attention to musci in recent videogames. My most recent song in that list is over five years old >.>

Fuck you.

Shadow of the Colossus easily is my favorite orchestral soundtrack.

Metroid has some of my favorite music, especially the God-Does-It-Need-A-Remake Metroid 2.

Rez's first level Buggie Running Beeps is fucking incredible.

Beyond that there's too much to tell, but I'd like to mention that Mega Man and Mega Man X have handfuls of my favorites, such as Storm Eagle, Top Man, and Bubble Man.

It's been, what, 11 years since the FF7 Boss Theme became my favourite videogame song? Still hasn't moved, and I doubt it ever will.

And though it's not a full song, I find myself oddly entranced with the GTAIV loading beat.

[Julford Hajime]

Fuck you.

...I need to concede that point to you. I just started looking up some Lufia 2 musics on Youtube, and damn. I have no idea why I don't remember those, they were awesome.

And I'm going to add the title theme from Final Fantasy: Mystic Quest to the list, because I still remember that song. I haven't played the game in at least ten years, and I can still remember that tune.

I always liked this, this, and this for quickie technoy remixes of Lufia.

Just enough to remind you of awesome Lufia.

[Solid Snake]

Suikoden III's opening number, Exceeding Love.
Also, MGS3's Main Theme, MGS4's Love Theme, MGS2's Alternative Tanker Theme.
Most the tracks on Chrono Cross, and ICO's Save Theme, and Laguna's Battle Theme in FFVIII.
Also, Magus' theme and Zeal's theme in Chrono Trigger.

Wow, someone made my post for me. Ditto on all counts.

The Cheetahmen games have really good music.

I also happen to like the music from Grandia 2 and 3. Except the G3 intro, because I hate crappy girl band stuff. The in-game stuff rocks.

The Dream World battle theme from FF8 is awesome. Also, if you have the computer version and a decent wavetable on your sound card (compatible with FF7's Yamaha driver), you will find that the victory fanfare sounds really good with woodwinds in place of the trumpets. Actually, FF8 has a lot of good music in general.

Chrono Trigger and Cross both have good music. Some of the songs will bring you to tears.

Legend of Dragoon has some pretty good music. Bonus points that it actually varies it up in battle depending on the area you're in. Extra bonus points that you can use the beats to actually help you nail Additions.
