2. Final Fantasy VI
3. Zelda Ocarina of Time
4. Super Mario Bros. 1, 2, 3, World, Land, Land 2, 64, and DS
5. Dragon Quest V (since I've been playing it)

Mitsuda traded his soul to the devil in return of this masterpiece.

I'm jealous... Why didn't my soundtrack come with that awesome slipcover?

 

[Crash Station]

Plus we just had a best music voting thread last year. Granted, it was individual tracks vs entire OSTs, but I don't think a new one is necessary yet.

Guess I'll wait a year or so then. Just thought it would be neat with all the "best _____" threads going on lately. I always find Gaf's tastes interesting.

Agree with lots of stuff, but also:

Halo 2.

 

[NO!R]

Hm... Ahh, of course...

1. The electronic/orchestra wizardry of Metal Gear Solid
2. The foreign but familiarly emotional melodies of Shadow of The Colossus
3.And the epic, riveting and thundering melodic romps of God of War

 

[Cetra]

Bayonetta
Lots of tracks from various entries in the Final Fantasy series.

There is only one correct answer:

Jet Set Radio

Rez, MGS2, Katamari Damacy, FF7, and Panzer Dragoon Saga would be acceptable runners up.

 

[professor_t]

Wipeout XL
Halo
Enclave (almost no one played this game, and fewer people liked it, but I thought the soundtrack was badass)

[GhaleonQ]

1 per franchise, no arrangements or straight remakes.

01. Legend Of Mana
02. Moon: Remix RPG Adventure
03. Final Fantasy IX
04. Chrono Cross
05. Earthbound 1 (that is, the NES one)
06. Panzer Dragoon Orta
07. The Neverhood
08. Castlevania: Rondo Of Blood
09. The King Of Fighters IX (2002: Unlimited Match)
10. Super Mario World

God, it's the same as my favorite games of all-time list. My 11-50 are stacked with DS/SNES titles, but my all-time favorites list isn't.

Edit: also, my list ended up cutting the interesting ones, so it's boring. ARGH.

GAF's taste in videogame music.

Fake edit: Actually, that's older than I thought. Time flies, I guess.

Oh cool. Gaf's tastes are actually pretty in line with mine for once.

 

[PuppetMaster]

G.A.M.E 3.0

 

[Dogenzaka]

Kingdom Hearts Soundtracks.

So good.

But by far the greatest gaming soundtrack has to be Jet Set Radio Future

I also like Shadow of the Colossus.

God damn it, you beat me to it.

5 years later and I still listen to this soundtrack all the time. Can't get enough Amon Tobin.

 

[trinest]

From this gen I have to say the stuff Cing has done and The World ends with you sound tracks are pretty awesome.

 

[Jaroof]

Shadow of the Colossus
Chrono Trigger
Secret of Mana 2 (Seiken Densetsu 3)
Super Mario 64
Phantasy Star Online

 

[KevinCow]

I'm kinda surprised to see Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory mentioned so many times in here. I've played it multiple times and don't remember it even having music. Well, except for that one really annoying song that was playing on pretty much every radio you encountered.

 

[hateradio]

amazon Japan

edit: actually I'm not sure if it comes with it now...

Awesome. I should order that and FF12's.


Love:

Chrono Cross
Chrono Trigger
Final Fantasy XII
Shadow of the Colossus

In no order, and with examples:

Bayonetta

You May Call Me Father

BlazBlue: Continuum Shift

Bullet Dance

Mother 3

Phantasmagoric

Super Smash Bros. Brawl

(no example)

Ace Attorney Meets Orchestra

Ace Attorney - Court Suite

Mother 3 is up there because of how well the music is used in the game. Plus, I love how it uses leitmotifs.

The last one is cheating, but I love all of the orchestrated AA music.

 

[Vigilant Walrus]

Best licensed soundtrack I have ever heard in my life, gaming or movies, is without a doubt Grand Theft Auto: Vice City. It's absolutely incredible.


Others;

-Warcraft 3
-World of Warcraft
-Guild Wars
-Morrowind
-Metal Gear Solid 1,2,3,4
-Halo 1,2,3

Yeah I should also add Halo and Halo 3 to my earlier list. Halo has a fantastic and iconic score and 3 has a ton of awesomely wonderful synth mixes that sound very unique. 2 had a couple good tracks but all the guitars really turned me off.
