Whats the best set of music you'v herd in a game?

I've always adored Advance War's music. Sending people to go kill each other in armed combat in mass numbers has never been so light hearted. The Ratchet and Clank series has nice music too.
I'm listening to Sonic Rush music right now. For some reason, side scroller Sonic games have better music than 3-D ones. :)
Ragnarok Online
FlyFF
Devil May Cry 1 & 2
Sonic Adventure 1 & 2
yeeesh, there are soooo many more.
I would have to say my faveorite is Legend of Dragoon Ost
Final Fantasy VIII! Silent Hill 4: The Room has the creepiest music, IMO...
I'm currently listening to Chrono Symphony, the cd's are located at OCRemix's website as a torrent download. They're free, of course, it's just a bunch of fan remixes, orchestrated to make the cd's feel more like a movie's soundtrack.
It involves a lot of Trigger, but some of Cross as well. It's pretty good.
I can't really say favourites, but I do love Nobou Uematsu's and Yasunori Mitsuda's work.
Jason Hayes is pretty good, although from what I've heard, it sounds a lot like the stuff from Lord of the Rings -- not sure if he was a part of that, but it sounds similar. It can get boring though.
FF4, 7, 8, 9, and uh, 10. Fatal Frame 2 and 3. DMC3. Ico and Shadow of the Colossus. And....yup thats it.
Final Fantasy and Tales of... games
Sonic Adventure games and Shadow the Hedgehog Games.
FF8
Anything done by Nobuo Uematsu and Yasunori Mitsuda, which includes all the FF's, Chrono Trigger, Chrono Cross, Xenogears, Xenosaga Episode I, and probably some others.
I also like Legend of Legaia's OST.
Some of the music from the Myst series is amazing.
I'm also partial to much of the Final Fantasy games music.
I'll have to agree with you there. Especialy with Riven, that is defenately a favourite.Quote:

Dragon Quest games, of course. (Koichi Sugiyama.)

Chrono Trigger (Essentially Mitsuda.)
Probably some others I can't think of at the moment.
I have moved this topic into the correct forum. In the future, please direct all queries regarding video game music to this specific section.
If I had to pick one, it'd be Tales of Phantasia's :p
Its a tie between CT and FFVII, both have amazing music.
Final Fantasy IX has the best video game music I've ever heard. Generally I like the music used in SE games, but if I had to pick a non-SE game, I'd say Lord of the Rings: Battle for Middle-Earth had some great music. Some of its themes are from the movies, but there's also a lot of new music, and it still feels like LotR music.
As long as it's Uematsu and Mitsuda,I'm in.
mario games! :D
Shenmue and Final Fantasy
The beauty of Chrono Cross and the beepyness of Metroid II.
Overall, I'd definetly have to say Chrono Trigger, as the music always seem to fit the mood of whatever is going on perfectly.
Behind that, it's a tie between the Metroid and Castlevania games. I've been listening to a lot of ones from Symphony of the Night lately (which I've never gotten the chance to play), and it's very nice indeed.
GTA SA has some pretty good suburb music
The Castlevania Symphony of the Night and the Castlevania Lament of Innocence are my favorites ones, I just love the classical style of the first and the little techno style of the second... but the ones I love more are the Metal songs of both! :D
Ace combat 5 had some realy cool music.
sO wHAt sHOuLd i SAY,,:confused:
Final Fantasy IX, definetly. Although FFVIII and Kingdom Hearts are pretty good too.
Ark of Naptshim. <3
Ys always has great music.
I've just listened to the Romancing SaGa OST recently, and that's also got some surprisingly good melodies and battle tracks in there, especially considering it's a SaGa game, which I tend to find rather dull as far as RPGs go :p
Tales of Legendia.
Final Fantasy IX. No songs in the soundtrack annoy me.
Almost every single Final Fantasy soundtrack. :D
Many games have good soundtracks, many of them often being RPGs, and it's hard to pick one that is the best out of all. Some other game genres than RPGs have good music too, though. For example I liked the soundtracks of Medal of Honor, MOH: Underground and MOH: Frontline (and the extra tracks composed for MOH: Allied Assault): the tracks are orchestral, many of them have epic choir, and the melodies are both beautiful and very memorable. Michael Giacchino's tendency to foreshadow themes and counter them with other themes in crucial points is reminiscent of John Williams, and he pulls all of it off in a convincing way. :)
final fantasy has better music than any other game ive played. i cant pick a favourite but its definetly an FF tune.
illumination from sim city 3k
I have SC2 and I thought that it had a nice mood to go with all that hack and slash.
I'll have to say Chrono Trigger, though I love just about all the music from Nobuo Uematsu and Yasunori Mitsuda. I also like Yuki Kajiura's work, though she hasn't done much in the game industry, mostly anime. She did work on Xenosaga II. Those are my favorites.
Metal Gear Series, FFVIII and FFX/X-2, Street Fighter, Mario Games, Zelda, Thousand Arms, Skies Of Arcadia, Final Fight.
FFIX and FFX
FFX! I loved practically every peice of music in that game. I didn't really like the theme song of it but I liked the different variations. I loved the boss battle themes of KH2 and Sanctuary. Atlantica scares me, though...
I've been a little obessed with the Baten Kaitos series. The music in that series is, in my opinion, some of Motoi Sakuraba's best. My favorite FF soundtrack would have to be FFIX's though. I love that soundtrack alot. The Suikoden series has some pretty good music as well.
Final Fantasy IX, closely followed by FFVII
I love all FF music! Especially Challenge from FFX!

Challenge is one of my favorites. Run!! IS my favorite.
i like final fantasy 7 and 8 and the first and 3rd metal gear solid game!
Final Fantasy ( 7, 8 and 10)~Nobuo Uematsu
Sonic Adventure (1 and 2)~I have no idea.
Grand Theft Auto: Vice City~Various 1980's musicians.
Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory~Amon Tobin
Definetly Replacing all choices with just Sonic Adventure Battle 1 & 2.Quote:

Lately I'm listening to a lot of Kong in Concert, the fan DKC remix album. Also, while I hated the soundtrack to FFX, there's a fantastic remix of People of the North Pole on OCRemix called Journey's End. I can't stop listening to it.

the best music WITHOUT a doubt is nobou's music from final fantasy and who can forget the old but stylish music from donkey kong......
I can doubt that.
I do however agree with the Donkey Kong one :]
I loved the DK3 Underwater theme the most.
Kingdom Hearts 2 has my favorite boss-battle songs. The game has an amazing soundtrack. I should go out and buy it...
every soundtrack made by the great Nobuo Uematsu
All of the Silent Hills have perfect music. I didn't think I'd be able to listen to it outside of the games, but it really surprised me. I love that stuff.
Both Drakengards have great music, too. That's probably my favourite. I've never heard anything like it in a game before - although that has little to do with why I like it.
And Killer7. :D:D:D:D:D:D I always mention these three games every time a topic like this comes around but it's just so true.
Shining force series, MGS3, Mario Brothers, Sonic, Breath of Fire, Star Ocean, Kingdom hearts.
ALL have amazing music.
Best would be Shining force or KH.
