Video games feature some of the best music out there. Post your favorites!

The only rule is that tracks have to be from the game. No remixes or covers!

I'll start!

Nobuo Uematsu (Final Fantasy X OST) - The Silence Before the Storm

Toshiharu Yamanishi - Metal Squad - Thunder Force IV.
Masahiko Yoshimura - Honjin no Theme [Headquarters] - Shining Force.
Motoaki Takenouchi - Into the Darkness - Shining Force II.
Motoaki Takenouchi - Elven Town - Shining Force II.

Probably my most favorite boss battle BGM on a classic PS1 shoot'em up (that IMO needs more love). Also, this game has an awesome OST, overall.

Shudder by Ken'ichiro Fukui (Einhander Original Soundtrack)

Definitely my favorite Elder Scrolls main theme.

Jeremy Soule - Nerevar Rising

 

[Music Alchemist]

I like so much video game music that I wouldn't even know where to begin! Guess I'll get to it later...

I imported that soundtrack CD from Japan.

This particular track has significance for my brother and I. Whenever I play it, he likes to say, "This is the law!" like that first boss in the game...and he makes jokes about bulldozers. XD

Even with a near-invincibility GameShark code, we still kept getting blown up in that game. He thinks it's impossible to do a perfect playthrough.

I have to agree. It's definitely a difficult game. Not Gradius- or R-Type-level hard, but still.

Final Fantasy VII - One Winged Angel

 

[Mkoll]

JRPGs have so many good ones. This short track plays every time a nasty character arrives in the game. Fits perfectly.

Revo (Bravely Default OST) - Visitor

[starts repeating itself around 1:35]

 

[Mkoll]

One of the best tracks from an excellent soundtrack. The "Roar" version is more lively and I favor it.

Fire Emblem Fates OST - Road Taken



Fire Emblem Fates OST - Road Taken (Roar)

Man this thread has some killer tracks on it! I am such a sucker for FFX music... heres one of my faves-

Edit: I just put on the second Zelda track that was posted (Overworld theme, and thanks for posting @SilverEars ) and I am rocking out to it! Then it struck me that I am listening to an 8 bit song on youtube through Focal Utopias... I felt ridiculous LOL

 

[Mkoll]

A downbeat but still driving electronic track, thanks in great part to its bassline. Heard in Need for Speed IV and Mass Effect 2.

Saki Kaskas (Need for Speed IV Soundtrack) - Callista

 

[FlyingWing]

1997 was a pretty great year considering Game-Soundtracks.

 

[Trihexagonal]

Final Fantasy VI - Floating Continent gets my vote
