What videogame franchise had always great music in their games and never failed with bad music.

For me its

Castlevania
Megaman (not x series)
Mario
Romancing saga
Silent hill
Sonic
Final fantasy
Ys
Halo
Elder scrolls
Mass effect
Kingdom hearts
Seiken densetsu



I wont mention street fighter, because the alpha and super street fighter 4 had bad music.
I also wont mention metroid, because metroid other m doesnt have the metroid vibe music anymore, except for some remixes.

 

[Gravijah]

Legend of Mana


Just Legend of Mana.



...Yes, it's a franchise.

 

[elrechazado]

zelda.

 

[WillyFive]

It's Smash Bros, by proxy.

 

[0 HP]

chrono

 

[Ganondorfo]

Legend of Mana


Just Legend of Mana.



...Yes, it's a franchise.

Now you mention that, there isnt indeed a bad seiken densetsu soundtrack.

 

[Fersis]

The King Of Fighters.

Its a damn fact!

Spoiler

In my heart

 

[ZephyrFate]

Shadow Hearts or Silent Hill.

 

[Gospel]

Megaman Battle Network

 

[Trent Strong]

Final Fantasy.

 

[Nemo]

Final Fantasy probably

Would be hard to argue with that

 

[Gram Negative Cocci]

Between the iconic stuff from first, the moody haunting melodies of Super, and Prime's soundtrack- Metroid. The music is a huge part of why I enjoy the series so much.

 

[Ganondorfo]

Megaman Battle Network

Isnt that bad megaman music?

 

[BumRush]

Final Fantasy.

Definitely this...

 

[Dizzy-4U]

Valkyrie Profile for me. I haven't played the DS game though.

 

[Dennis]

Halo and Mass Effect off the top of my head. Oh, and Silent Hill.

 

[LiK]

OP forgot Zelda, i agree with the rest

 

[HYDE]

Zelda bar none.

 

[jbueno]

Baten Kaitos is not really a huge series, but the games feature some of my favorite OSTs ever so there.

 

[anaron]

TOO MANY

 

[FrostuTheNinja]

Shinobi has always had some great tunes associated with it. Even the portable versions had pretty "epic" soundtracks for their time.

 

[KevinCow]

Metroid and Donkey Kong Country

 

[brochiller]

Zelda bar none.

This.

 

[Ganondorfo]

[Gravijah]

huh.

 

[Ganondorfo]

Valkyrie Profile for me. I haven't played the DS game though.

Doesnt it have the same music as valkyrie profile 1? Motoi sakuraba probably made the same music again, like he did with star ocean on the psp.

 

[Cow Mengde]

TOO MANY

Correct answer.

 

[Dug]

I mentionned final fantasy also on my list, but still I dont like music of final fantasy 12 (beside some tunes from the 100 tracks on the soundtrack). Hitoshi sakimoto doesnt make memorable music for the franchise as uematsu and hamauza. (his vagrant story and tactics work is outstanding though).

 

[B.K.]

Final Fantasy (not counting XIII)

 

[Seanspeed]

Cant think of any series with an immaculate record, but Final Fantasy probably comes closest.

Haven't played XIII yet, though....

Man I've got this Soundtrack CE. It's awesome!

(also FF has been inconsistent since 7. 8 and 9 had great moments but lots of "blah". 10 had fewer great moments. 11....even less and so on and so on.)
