Favourite game music?

Ok continuing on from my last thread, he's a different question.

What is your favourite music from a Video Game?

So for me, there are two answers to this for me.

One: The opening theme songs for the VR Games, I expect you to Die. They are absolute and fantastic, and certainly channel that classic James Bond spy feeling. Cannot help but sing them.

Second, multiple songs from Final Fantasy XIV. To The Edge, Endwalker - Footfalls, Shadowbringers, some of the songs from the Alexander Raids , there's too many to name, but these are all great, and seriously can't stop myself singing along to any of them when they come on.

Brilliant sound track!

bankimu,

Also Cara mia addio.

BlackMarketSalami,

the entire OST for Nier: Automata is amazing. i still need to play through Nier: Replicant and i think im looking forward to the music more than the game itself.

One of my top picks. Music really sells the game.

Surprised Darren Korb hasn't had a mention yet.

Bastion and Hades have phenomenal OSTs.

alboru11221,

Same here, i love Transistor's music

ethaNolparty,

The Hotline Miami 1 and 2 soundtracks are killer.

I finally watched John wick 4 and the music in the movie sounds similar to the Hotline Miami music.

For me it's Doom 2016, it's just insane! Mick Gordon is a genius.

Cucumber_coconut,

Zelda music, specifically from BOTW and TOTK. But all the Zelda games have great music.

Jaxseven,

Saying that the Hades OST is my favorite soundtrack seems like the obvious choice out of Darren Korb's immaculate work on Supergiant's games is the safe pick. I'm still going to say it's my pick though.

Honorable mentions include Fastfall from Dust Force and the Metal Gear Rising Revengancs OST

cornballdefense,

Transistor's still has to take the cake for me, but there's no wrong choice when it comes to Supergiant. Love working to the extended sound track, with the sung, hummed, and distorted versions. Haunting.

Jaxseven,

The Transistor soundtrack was playing constantly whenever I drove during college.

Love Korb's soundtrack for Bastion and Transistor!

honestly, the entirety of the final fantasy tactics soundtrack is my jam. especially when you recall specific moments when a track was played during the game. they have so much punch and they're always so epic. the boss tracks rule!

The composer, Hitoshi Sakimoto, has done many other games and they often have a very similar sound.

dude yes! final fantasy 12 is probably my second favorite soundtrack, if I'm rating my personal favorites from final fantasy in general. the world of Ivalice and the music he composed for it just hit different.

iAmTheTot,

Agreed. I may or may not use a lot of his music for my ttrpg games. Nobody sets the atmosphere of a city quite like he does.

couldn't agree with you more, my friend! eruyt village immediately comes to mind. such a beautiful track. the beauty of the viera something as well! if you hadn't played ff tactics advance beforehand, you probably wouldn't have seen a viera before then. so it really just pulls you in. did I randomly go into the village just to hear the track from time to time? absolutely.

I can't pick one so here's some of my favorites:
Ludwig, the Holy Blade
Devils Never Cry
Tenebre Rosso Sangue
The Hot Wind Blowing
And of course, Bury The Light

tonamel,

I think the Katamari Damacy soundtrack is the one I return to the most. It's distilled joy.

Satiric_Weasel,

Chrono Trigger's soundtrack is a personal favorite.

ScotinDub,

Loved the music in hollow knight

antonymous,

Hornets battle theme, the Mantis Lords theme, heck all the battle themes.

So excited for Silksong

ScotinDub,

Me too :-) Hope it is released soon

nivenkos,

Ocarina Of Time and Super Mario 64 for sure.

Megaman and Donkey Kong Country also have some great chiptune music.

And The Witcher 3 for including so many different traditional instruments. The Elder Scrolls is also good.

Donkey Kong Country

Aquatic Ambiance has never not been on my cell phone(s)/mp3 player(s) over the last 20+ years and that's how I likes it.

SonnyIC,

I love the Paradise Killer soundtrack

delcake,

Absolutely, it's an incredible soundtrack. It does so much heavy lifting on setting the game's ambiance and tone that I couldn't imagine it with anything else.

Yes! That game was a fun surprise overall, but the music especially was very memorable. Glad to see I'm not the only one still thinking about it

myersguy,

TMNT Turtles in Time. So overlooked. It is 100% unapologetic video game music, and it kicks holy amounts of ass.
