Final fantasy 6 Chrono trigger Street fighter 2 Street fighter v Super Mario Bros 3 Mega Man 2 Undertale And this is really unfair but Def Jam fight for New York

Final fantasy 6! The renditions of the victory fanfare and chocobo theme are terrific and multiple other songs are dramatic, exciting, enthralling. And there are some legit jams on the soundtrack, too. The Veldt, Magitek Factory, and Zozo all are amazing.

Other games music that are great are Tropico, Frostpunk, and RimWorld.

I shouldn’t have had to scroll this far but I guess the average gamer is younger than this masterpiece now.

I think ff7 also was “the” final fantasy game people played and think back to.

But ff6 has a dope soundtrack. Like when you lift off in the falcon for the first time.

Final fantasy 6. Probably did the most with the least. It is an all-time banger for that along with super Mario 3.

MegaMan 2 Tony Hawk franchise Halo (Bungie days)

This is going to be highly subjective.

For me, this may not be the best, but it’s one of the more memorable soundtracks.

Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic, Manaan theme. youtu.be/CNe4XHbkEZA

Either Halo or the new Doom games.

Very few themes are more iconic than Halos chanting and basically all of those are simple themes without depth. Halos theme makes you feel a flood of emotion when you hear it.

And nothing on this earth nothing is more bad ass than the Doom music. Just hearing it makes you feel like you could go to hell and kill gods.

Also the old Doom games.

Now I’ve got E1M1 in my head

Objectively speaking the answer has gotta be something from FFXIV. But which one?? Too many candidates…

The most I’ve ever felt from a video game’s music to pump me up was “Shadowbringers” playing once you start the fight with Hades.

So I’d say that.

The entire Homeworld franchise is awesome in this regard. Including Deserts of Kharak.

Hardspace: Shipbreaker is also great for some chill beats. So unique. You all should give it a listen.

GrayBackgroundMusic, 10 months ago

Yes, hardspace! I was searching for this. It’s not your typical rock or techno. It’s more bluegrass. It fits the game so perfectly bc of the working class exploitation theme. Wish I could have gotten the vinyl.

In no particular order.

OSTs:

• DOOM 2016
• FTL: Faster Than Light
• Halo (most, but especially 1-3 and Reach)
• Command and Conquer series, especially Yuri’s Revenge and prior.

Non-OST games:

• Gran Turismo 2
• TRAIL:OUT

I listen to all of these in my free time fairly regularly.

Scrolled through to see if someone would mention doom, I was gunna post it if not.

That OST was a big part of the game.

Doom 2016’s soundtrack is so incredible not only because the tracks themselves are great but how well it combines with the game itself

GrayBackgroundMusic, 10 months ago

Ftl is such good chip tunes

Timecircleline, 10 months ago

Unorthodox opinion here but Wasteland 3, the first time the Battle Hymn of the Republic played over a fight was incredible.

flango, 10 months ago

It is ** Brütal Legend** by far!!

Sagethefolxhero, 10 months ago

Always forget about this game! Also one of the best for sure

emptyother, 10 months ago

Well thats kinda cheating, most of the music is just old rock and metal! 😊 Though I do have that Swordhenge guitar bit in my playlist. Unforgettable.

Shadowrun for Sega Genesis

Subverb, 10 months ago

For ambience, Anarchy Online.

Persona 5 Royal

LaggySnake, 10 months ago

Definitely the best video game music is from Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance. Stains of Time is my favorite.
