Best ‘Romantic’ Music

Okay, seeing as we still have a lot of collections of "Best of Theme" threads, let’s see if we can throw out a bit of a challenge here. The theme this time is romance; the music that plays when the ‘inevitable couple’ share a moment, or even a character theme that fits a romantic mood.

I’ll start with the Theme of Love from Growlanser 1-3. Do I have other nominations?

What can I say? I’m a sucker for these.

By the way, this was a little more difficult than some of the other ones…

Final Fantasy IV – Theme of Love (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S_mPH8YuGJY)
Final Fantasy VI – Aria de Mezzo Caraterre (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KuvSDedrtKM)
Double Dragon 2 – Ending Credits (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DSuVH4YgIx0) (starting at :49)
Monkey Island – Love Theme (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KqMLBFmNl-g)
Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex – Some Other Time (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CFthpfOyawY)
Silent Hill 3 – Please Love Me…Once More (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cL4JG0DP6qY)
Suikoden – Theme of a Moonlit Night (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UScukq3RFc4)
Final Fantasy III (DS) – Town of Alm (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_pPyPrMD6hs) (sounds like one)

*Total Distortion – Kitty Cat (http://downloads.*********.com/game-soundtracks/album/total-distortion) (click on the link and replace the asterisks with "kh insider," but take out the space)

Come on people. Arthurgolden isn’t the only one who’s contributed to past threads! Gird your loins and step up to the challenge!:D

Next contributions:

Lamented Rose – Castlevania 64
Star-Stealing Girl – Chrono Cross
str17(Kite and BlackRose in Lambda Town) – dot Hack
Desire – Lunar: EBC

I could throw out more, but I will leave some easy ones for people…now I just have to encourage you to contribute.:D

Some time ago we had a thread like this, but sadly it died away quickly… so here’s my list again.

From FF9:
Melodies of Life
Garnets Theme
Memories Erased In The Storm
Captivating Eyes
Song Of Memories
Unfathomed Reminiscence
Bittersweet Romance

From FF8:
Eyes On Me
Tell Me
Trust Me
Julia

From Tales of Legendia
Funeral March
Fireflies in Shadow of Leaves

From ‘For brighter Day’ Phantasy Star Universe OST
My Room
Epilogue 1

From Xenogears:
Shattering Egg of Dreams
Gathering Stars in the Night

From FF7 Dirge of Cerberus:
Memories with Lucrecia

From Xenosaga 1:
Kokoro
Pain

From Lost Odyssey:
What You Are

From Square ‘Final Fantasy ~ Love Will Grow’:
Love Will Grow

The following are not from game OSTs but still nice:

Moon flower – Turn A Gundam Concert
Again – Vision of Escaflowne 3
Romance – Vision of Escaflowne 1

Now that’s some romantic stuff that should keep you busy 😉 As you see, I’m also a sucker for this kind of music…

From FF7 Dirge of Cerberus:
Memories with Lucrecia (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VnrHpyk_EVs)

From Xenosaga 1:
Kokoro (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mkPdDvhOEaE)
Pain (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WxJb2VQ-Fl0)

I’d never heard these before. Links above, if anyone’s interested.

What love themes to video games are there out? I’m listening to Mass Effect Love Theme, but that’s all I know. Anyone know of any?

Um…I’m going to assume you’re asking for more love themes.

Basically, a LOT of RPGs have at least one romantic track in their OST(thus far, Fallout is the only series I’ve come across that doesn’t have one, but I’m sure there’s others). Other genres tend to have them as well, but the track lengths are generally short.

Now, if you were talking about more ‘actual tracks’ that you can directly listen to…well, arthurgolden and I could work on something like that as a joint project and upload a zip file for people to enjoy. Unfortunately, I’m a little confused as to what you’re trying to ask, as your grammar is difficult to understand.:) Post again with a little clarification, and I or someone else will see how we can help you.

My number one is FF7: Interrupted By Fireworks. Simple and set the mood, perfectly.

Close second, Xenogears: Treasure Which Cannot be Stolen. But then, that’s probably one of the most romantic games I’ve ever watched (lol). Yasunori Mitsuda is great at slow pieces, but is absolute balls at composing music that makes you want to kick someone’s ass.

Does Anime Count? my fave is onegai twins – ame-a (it’s a nice piano solo), since i heard it on the anime, i’ve searched the OST until i first found this site and i’ve downloaded the ENTIRE OST to find that song! so its really my fave…

I’ll add a couple of obvious ones to keep the momentum going:

Final Fantasy VI – Forever Rachel (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nwT_wT6CgsE)
Mass Effect – Love Theme (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ECcDavzJGzU) (mentioned above, but here’s the link)
Grandia – Leen’s Love Theme (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PzJjFCq80Yg)

OK, not original answers, but music from Chrono Cross and Final Fantasy 8 spring to mind.

Should lunk to actual download sites instead of YouTube, I’d love to save some of them.

Most, if not all, of them are on Galbadia Hotel, so you shouldn’t have any problems there, especially since we’re posting the song titles too.:)

If there are some you can’t find, PM me and I’ll send a RAR package your way.

edit:
here is the link to the song that I got from their main site. I didn’t include the others because they’re videos I recorded with fraps

I can’t seem to find the Divinity 2 soundtrack on Galbadia Hotel.I’m looking under "d"
Could you pm me a link to the soundtrack?

Ha, I wrote lunk. Stupid typo.

Anyway, thanks for the link, brainpole. Although that wasn’t what I was looking for, I appreciate the upload.

My wife surprised me and had our 3 piece group (Flute, Oboe, Cello) play the Theme of Love from FF4 as the processional song for our wedding 🙂

Pretty memorable and they did a really great job.
