Gamma Nerd posted:Baten Kaitos - To The End of the Journey of Glittering Stars - Motoi Sakuraba Always warms my heart to see love for this great underrated game with its great underrated OST. I have yet to find a "normal battle theme" better than The True Mirror. In JRPG news, I have a question. I'm gonna be starting the Dragon Quest series for the first time in September. Do any of those games have any soundtracks that stand out?

Keep in mind multiple orchestras have done those soundtracks so the quality can vary. The ones by the London Symphony Orchestra (I-VII) IMO are the ones to look for.

The Etrian Odyssey games have always been great. I know a lot of people love the FM-Towns tracks of the DS games, but the newer arranged stuff is really fantastic too. Half the fun with the remakes is seeing how they redid the songs. Anyway here's some tracks that are cool + good https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3KmcSXVyzzM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=imnmNtECuBk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v8Hh_fXR0ao

Favorite soundtracks: Command & Conquer series Frank Klepacki's ticket to fame, a series of industrial soundtracks that nicely backdrop rushing tanks into one another. Deus Ex Straylight Productions' last work, a dynamic soundtrack for a dynamic game (sadly the music rips can't cover this aspect) with lots of variety for every level. Homeworld While all the other music is about getting you pumped, rocking, excited, the Homeworld soundtrack is the exact opposite: simple, atmospheric, and perfectly appropriate. It set the tone for a space opera like no other, and anyone that has played the game will never forget Adagio for Strings. Favorite tracks: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0j9QsfDxOwU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wwG5BJtZBCU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cMzi0i6H0nU I think I'm biased towards MOD music.

Jesper Kyd who did the music for most of the assassins creed games (maybe all) is amazing. Everything from ACII and AC Brotherhood is some epic music.

To add to the Tohou talk from last page, a streamer I watch plays a lot of Tohou music, including this group: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uisP4EiYaTI   I never got into the games (which is odd because I'm a fan of shmups)

You really should, Touhou games are awesome. IMO Ten Desires is the best in the series to start with, it's sorta low-difficulty and has one of ZUN's best soundtracks (not on par with UFO or IN, but still very good). There's also a really cool music gimmick where there's 2 versions of each track, and if you overlap them it sounds a lot fuller and more detailed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DE9qjbTJyk8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EE9FhKaBBRw I really dislike the last 2 games from a gameplay perspective but they have some great tunes too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ge71HoKN_0s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v8xtmqN6jpc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TYwul_WIvvs Also Touhou piano covers are really impressive. This one is a favorite of mine. Her Mountain of Faith medley is also amazing. Gamma Nerd fucked around with this message at 23:23 on Sep 24, 2015 |

Final Fantasy XII disappointed a lot of fans with its more traditional soundtrack composed by Hiroshi Sakimoto, but I think it was great for reflecting the sophisticated tone of the game with a few standout tracks. The game opens with what I think is the best version of the Final Fantasy theme. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dVhkE8em0WI Rabanastre Downtown is one of the more unique selections on the soundtrack, driven by what sounds like hand drums and maracas rather than strings. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fMgLuY6bNds Time For Rest https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QUp46wc9d0Y Esper Battle is easily the catchiest song in the game and is great for amping up boss battles. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rVYHhcYWttY Sky Fortress Bahamut is a great final dungeon theme. It avoids the typically dreaded tones of most final dungeons themes and instead goes for a heroic and triumphant feel. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZVDTwxjcV9s The game finishes with Kiss Me Goodbye, a vocal pop song composed by the original Final Fantasy composer Nobuo Uematsu. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZI3daqEsC6Q

Sakimoto can do no wrong, imo. His Vagrant Story and FFT soundtracks are at least as good as FF12, though not quite as nostalgic for me.

It's basically correct. ZUNTATA's soundtracks are loving amazing atmospheric proggy stuff, the Recca OST is really good for an NES sountrack with some neat rave/hardcore techno tendencies, Manabu Namiki is also super versatile. In fact, shmups in general tend to have really good soundtracks.

Battle Garegga has some great tracks https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lHJJ0Q9xaa8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Szr0TSXcWo Also, I just discovered this concert by Blind Spot, aka Sega Sound Team, from 2012.

Most of the Garegga soundtrack is just plagiarizing classic Detroit Techno tracks (see: Underwater Rampart -> Jupiter Jazz) but it's plagiarizing loving awesome music and the vibe is perfectly suited to the game so I don't care.

You have not listened to the Banjo-Kazooie soundtrack recently enough. That's not a question of how long it's been, because unless you're playing it right now, it's been too long. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jTiP86Yh-no Go fix yourself.

Skyward Sword is my least favorite Zelda soundtrack. Most of the themes are too ambient for my liking, and some of the few good ones are reused from earlier titles, including the central theme, Ballad Of The Goddess, which is Zelda's Lullaby in reverse. But EVERY Zelda has some good original music, and SS is no exception. Spoilered for those who haven't played it yet: Knight Academy & Sparring Hall Skyloft (Composed by a woman, FYI) Bamboo Island Lanayru Mining Facility Lanayru Mining Facility (Past) Ancient Cistern Ghirahim's Theme Ghirahim Battle I Ghirahim Battle II Ghirahim Battle III At least the bonus orchestral CD is swell!  P.S. Orchestral recording featurettes.

Remember Bonanza Bros on Genesis? Great soundtrack. I ripped the level brief tune to use as a ringtone today, you can grab it here if you so please. Fusion emulator for Sega has a built in audio logging tool which is great. Also, I may have posted it before but here is a local band who plays all VG music, great guys.

If this thread isn't dead: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XjkOPQB5KCM I don't particularly got along with Kingdom Hearts, but I do like Utada Hikaru. The way that this has an ambient edge to it really appeals to me. It sort of invokes a feeling of distance, especially right at the start.

I just can't get over how excellent Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage's soundtrack is. Maybe it's the nostalgia, but in general I think the music from Spyro 2 and 3 are just great. Plus, they can standalone. Personally, the mark of a great soundtrack for me is if it can be great entirely outside the context of its source material. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lHkV2mULSlU
