Favorite Videogame Music - Never Forgotten: a Foster's Home Community

Nathander · 04-13-2007, 04:54 PM

Since we all ready have a favorite anime music (or, at least intros) thread going, I thought I'd start one for video game music. While I realize many people don't especially pay attention to video game music, I think there's some great tunes out there I just wanted to point out.

Godsibb(Xenosaga) - Easily one of my favorite musical pieces in a videogame, especially with how well it went on with what was occuring during the boss battle it was the theme for.

Paula(Earthbound) - Probably one of my favorite pieces from that game, and it had some genuinely great music, especially considering this was back during the SNES era. The tune of the piece just touches me deep down somehow.

Imbraglio(Shadow Hearts) - My reasoning for liking this piece is very much like my reasoning for liking Godsibb: it fits very well with the boss fight it plays during. That being said, you can really listen to Godsibb without playing the game and enjoying it; listening to Imbraglio outside the game really takes away from the epic feeling it invokes.

One Winged Angel(Final Fantasy VII) - I have to agree with the consensus that this is one of the best final boss themes ever made. Really, it's the only thing about Sephiroth I felt was better than Kefka from FF VI.

Speaking of which....

Kefka(Final Fantasy VI) - While lacking the complexity of One Winged Angel (as well as merely being Kefka's theme and not his final boss music), I think it's one of the best themes from the 16-bit era I'd ever heard.

That's all for now. I'll probably expand upon this list at some time.

The music of Yoshi's Story is forever burned into my brain. Annoying, yes, but the kind of annoying where I walk around the house going la, lalalalala, la, lalalala even though I haven't played that cursed game in years.

Lalalala, lalalala, lalalala...

Any songs from Parappa the Rapper or Um Jammer Lammy (especially "I Gotta Believe" or "Now Which One Is My Left Hand?")

"Born To Be Bones" or "Bee Jam Blues" from Gitaroo Man-very catchy and entertaining

Sanctuary from Kingdom Hearts 2-Very emotional song, and the best out there.

One Winged Angel from Final Fantasy VII-Even though I'm not a big fan of the series, I considered this to be the best song in the entire Final Fantasy series.

I still cannot get Donkey Kong Jr theme out of my head,
and I have not played it in over 20 years.
