http://gh.ffshrine.org?r=105664

you guys have got to use this is site!!!!

it really is brilliant!!!

you guys are all nerds!! I guess I am too...

Super Mario Galaxy is my absolute favorite OST My favorite song is the remix version of Bowser's Road from Mario 64

probably ...

1) Planescape: Torment / Baldur's Gate
2) Chrono Trigger / FFVII
3) Soukaigi / Abe's Oddyssey

i cheated

(Just my latest Fav's - it varies on the mood)

Final Fantasy Piano Collections
Uncharted: Drake's Fortune
Ace Combat 6

mgs1

alert phase was cool

du du dududu du du dududu dudu du du

1-xenogears (and creid version)
2-Legend of legaia 2 : duel saga (i love "god's fist","Tanza"...)
3-Chrono cross
4-ChoroQ (only cars version)
5-Seiken dentsetsu 2

and many many many other...

1-xenogears (and creid version)
creid is a great album and the title track is something really beautiful, awsome theme and ethereal atmosphere. thanks to yasu

jet set radio...

If I had to pick just one, I'd have to say Okami, hands down. In my humble opinion, it's about as close to perfection as a soundtrack can get, and it's certainly stands out more than other Japanese composed soundtracks.

Other top picks include Ace Combat 5, Final Fantasy Tactics, Ratchet and Clank: Going Commando and Up Your Arsenal, and Xenogears.

well.......im a fan of nobou umatsu......ff4...ff5....ff6....ff7....

Silent Hill 2 and my favorite song is Laura's Theme...

1.Parasite Eve 2
2.Final Fantasy VII (yes I love that too, shut up)
3.Silent Hill 3
4.Silent Hill
5.Silent Hill 2
6.Resident Evils 1-Code Veronica X
7.Final Fantasy VIII
8.Final Fantasy IX

Legacy Of Kain series
Metal Gear Solid Series
Colony Wars Series (whoa, flashbacks!)
Super Smash Bros. Brawl
Shadow of the Colossus
Any Star Wars game with John Williams original score
Ratchet and Clank series (still need to play Tools of Destruction)

oh and Zone of the Enders main theme

My favorite would have to be Paper Mario(the original), especially Welcome to Yoshi's Village.

Runners up are Sonic Adventure(DX), Halo, and Super Mario 64.
XP

Silent Hill OST 3!! Though all of them are really, really, really, really good. ^_^

After listening to Brawl's it's the best!

my top ten in no order:

SSBB (zero-two and final destination in the same OST=win)
Devil May Cry 3 (Vergil Battle 3>>>>>>>Almost every other song in existance)
Super Mario Galaxy
Super Paper Mario (Super Dimentio......'nuff said)
Metroid Prime One (Meta Ridley FTW)
Metroid Prime 2 (Chykka's, and Emperor Ings, and Dark Samus, oh my)
Metroid Prime 3 (Gandrayda and AU 313-head were amazing)
LOZ TP (No explanation needed)
Baten Kaitos Origins (From Iconoclasm to Le Ali Del Principio, this OST is nothing short of stunning)
Blue Dragon (The Seal is Broken is the song that got this OST where it is)

I'm gonna try to be a little different here.

Streets of Rage 2 - 1st level (the bar in particular) and the level with the stadium (so cool)

Illusion Of Time/Gaia - Can't get enough of this, one of those games you play when you are young and to hear its music now gives you that weird nostalgic feeling.

Dead Rising - A great mix of rock, rap & metal for the mini-bosses, the mall music makes me laugh, strange to be killing zombies with that in the background.

Joe n Mac caveman Ninja - 2nd part of game, the map music turns deep and atmospheric, really gives a dark wasteland feel to it.

Killer Instinct - Such a variety of music, the boxer combo had a cool little dance/RnB as his level tune, awesome.

Mario is Missing - This is a strange one, but this music is really relaxing, some city specific songs made me laugh too, the Moscow one in particular.

This is Uematsu's best work since FF9, which was his best work since FF6.

Jeremy Soules Work:
Elder Scrolls Morrowind
Elder Scrolls Oblivion
Guild Wars Prophecies/Faction/Nightfall/Eye of The North
IceWind Dale 1 & 2
Dungeon Siege 1 & 2
And many other additional music.

Koji Kondo

Mario Series
Kenji Yamamoto
Metroid Prime 1 & 2 & 3

Kevin Riepl
Unreal Tournament & 2003 & 2004 & UT3
Gears of War

Frank Klepacki
C&C Series
Dune Series


Additional Musics:
Okami
Flatspace
X3

And many more! God i love Video Game music ;)

Zelda ocarina of time, and Majoras mask, as i think they are awesome, also FFX, and FFX-2

Id have to say the Silent Hill 1-4 OST's plus the Origins OST, the original N64 Zelda OoT OST, and the Shadow Of The Colossus Soundtrack.

~~***~~
:smrt:

My 5 favourites:

- The Legend of Zelda (all chapters)
- Kingdom Hearts 1 & 2
- Final Fantasy 7 & 8
- Holy Magic Century
- Legend of Mana

My three favourites in no order:

Chris Huelsbeck: Turrican II on Amiga (aka Super Turrican on SNES).

Michael Giacchino: Medal of Honor, Medal of Honor Underground, Medal of Honor Frontline.

Richard Jacques: Headhunter on Dreamcast.

Special mention for Hiroshi Kawaguchi: Outrun on Sega Arcade.

This soundtracks run across the last fifteen years. It surprises non-VGS fans that the best VGS are as good as the best movie soundtracks.

Jack's Theme from Headhunter is as good and iconic as any movie hero's theme and better than 99% of them. I am glad to see Jacques produce more of this kind of music for the Pursuit Force series (as opposed to the drearyness of the Headhunter sequel). Check out his website for some very lovely tunes of other genres.

Giacchino's Medal of Honor is the definitive World War II action music and is the best tribute to John Williams ever composed.

Outrun is definitive J-pop driving music, catchy and happy and wonderful.

Turrican II is simply a masterpiece which, when released, was literally stunning (the seven plus minute title track which also displayed a comic strip story if left on the title screen is simply spine-tingling).

The Sonic soundtracks for genesis (all of them), Streets of Rage 2, Revenge of Shinobi!!!!!, DEUS EX!!!!!!!!!, TOO MANY MORE TO LIST!!!!!!!!

In no particular order:

Shadow of the Colossus
Katamari Damacy
Chrono Trigger
Xenosaga III
Mr. Driller Drill Land
Super Smash Brothers Brawl (for sheer quantity)

Baten Kaitos (both) hands down, but Smash Bros melee (just bc i havent heard brawl's yet) and zelda (wind waker and twilight) are not far behind.

The remix of shadow themes it rocks
it has his world(shadow)
and many others

i like more than this but its just o0ne of em:naughty:

Advance Wars & Tales Of Symphonia =P

And i like more AW =D

Perfect Dark by Grant Kirkhope.

Pardon the pun, but perfection.

As a whole? :/

Probably Shadow of the Colossus.

Definitely.

Back before emulators, I used to play a lot of horrible MS-DOS shareware, and those rarely had much if any memorable music. Rise of the Triad, however, had plenty, more than it probably deserved. I won't say "best ever," but it definitely bothered me that the next Lee Jackson game, Duke Nukem 3D, had really boring music aside from the opening demo and then I don't know what happened to Jackson after that. Yes, so, there.

Back before emulators, I used to play a lot of horrible MS-DOS shareware
Hmm... you remind me of someone...! Yeah! thats me!

ResEv 3:Nemesis(all),ShadowGate 64(hmm...)

I'm a complete shell-out when it comes to VGM so obviously I can't pick just one:

*Xenogears, Chrono Series, and generally anything with Yasunori Mitsuda is good with me
*The Mother/Earthbound OSTs are all heartwarming and fun to listen to
*FFVI & FFXII in my opinion are the epitome of FF soundtracks, i'll throw in FFT for good measure :D
*The Silent Hill series OSTs are a must, how could I lull myself to sleep at night without being able to hear "One's weaker self" playing at max around 2:00 AM?
*Oh and Lastly the Zelda series hands down.

In my opinion Rogue Galaxy had the best soundtrack ever.

I'd have to say...

Elder Scrolls: Morrowind
Elder Scrolls: Oblivion
Tales of Symphonia
Chrono Trigger/Cross
Zelda: Ocarina of Time

Crash Twinsanity I would have to say really good even though they left some tracks out of it....T_T

Turrican (Amiga)

Mine would have to be Metal Gear Solid series. Mostly 2 and 3.

It isn't my absolute favorite, but it doesn't get mentioned much: Kameo had a great soundtrack.

SkullMonkeys..........,

Hands down.:loldata:

Mine would have been these Follwings:
- Chrono Cross
-Chrono Trigger
-Kingdom Hearts 1 & 2
- Suikoden Series
- Wild Arm Series
- Final Fantasy Series Even though Some of them weren't by Nobeu Nametsu
- Breath of Fire Series
- Disgaea
- Phantom Brave
- Fire Emblem Series
- Phoenix Wright Series
- Tales Series
- Zelda Series
- Shadow of Colossus
- Xenosaga Series and Xenogears
- Mana Series
- Lost Oddyssey
- And So Many More.... ^_^

The World Ends With You was most definitely One of the best if not THE best.

POKEMON DIAMOND/PEARL!!!!

Hmmm imo il go with

Final fantasy 6-I know it was only done on a keyboard but imagine all those songs re-mixed with a full studio kit in todays standards:)

Metal Gear Solid-Smoothing,exciting and very climaxing at times when u listen to these soundtracks u can tell where the infleunce to the games success comes from

Silent Hill-Akira Yamoaka is a genius when it comes to ambient tones and his soundtracks are amazing to listen to.

Shadow of the Colossus-Every video game fan could mistake this at first for a movie soundtrack but its suits the game so well and the atmosphere,its ambitious and well done out from the composer,enough to give listeners goosebumps:)

The original Lumines soundtrack. What can I say, I'm an electronica person! It's not like something I would listen to excessively, but it is always good to hear in the game.

Final Fantasy IX OST. Everything is emotionally driven in some way, and it's 100% Uematsu.

Bomberman Hero OST- The best avant-garde techno you will hear in ages.

ratchet & clank music , castlevania;lament of innocence
&sonic the hedgehog 2!

Too many to list...

Same, same...:-D

amplitude or frequency by far

it was tough but i would say Metal Gear Solid, the music was just good, almost flawless, or it probably is.

For me, it would have to be the original Rayman, as well as the US Sonic CD soundtrack.

Be sure to vote for your favorite soundtracks! Check the link in my sig!

Rockman 3!

The Orange Box is one of my all time favourites.
Some of the music for the Unreal series is really good.
Super Mario Galaxy.
Megaman X series aswell and
Quake III Arena

Thats all i can think of right now.

A few days ago I would've said Chrono Trigger OST, but after hearing the Lair gamerip I'm not so sure anymore... and the score from Outcast is also very impressive.

Halo 1, 2, 3
Worms series
Twisted metal series

hard to say for me, but the soundtrack that really knocked me out was LAIR for PS3! also all the classic ones like A LINK TO THE PAST, SUPER MARIO WORLD/BROS, STREETS OF RAGE, maybe SOUL CALIBUR and FF3/6 too.

ohhhhhh, and ROCKMAN WORLD on game boy!!!!!!!

I'm not entirely sure myself, but it might just be Mother 2's (EarthBound).

For me it has to Chrono Trigger.

Also check out the awesome jazz/funk/psychedelia-version of the soundtrack called BRINK OF TIME.

Hum..I'd say the original Rayman on Playstation.

Defenetly Jade Cocoon,Tenchu and Uncharted Waters.

Halo series
Planescape: Torment
Warzone 2100
Legacy of Kain
Etherlords

As a ut freak the most music i like much is ofcourse ut music.
And i have a collection about those games wich is several gb big.
I have all music containing all versions of ut.
The music from ut 99 and some modified mp3 songs from the internet is kindly modified and edited to the house music genre,wich is very cool.
And i like those music specialy the mixes, wich was made by some dj,s.

The ut 3 music is also cool but sliedly diferent then ut 99 wich included just like all version of ut have some rock music also added.

And i like the starwars music wich came with all games, and the original score from john williams.

Shenmue

Shenmue
Final Fantasy VIII
Final Fantasy X
Final Fantasy XII
Mass Effect
Katamari Series
Call of Duty 4

i don't know much but i think for me it's Final Fantasy VIII

It�s simple for me: the Metal Gear Solid series.

Probably FF7, but that is a tough call!

Hard choice but from what i've listened to,

Outcast (I reserved "Heaven On Adelpha" for my funerals ;-) ) followed by GodOfWar...

Silent Hill - Akira Yamaoka
Silent Hill 2 - Akira Yamaoka
Silent Hill 3 - Akira Yamaoka
Silent Hill Origins - Akira Yamaoka
Jet Set Radio Future - VA

lol almost Megaten series (i'ma big fan of shoji meguro!)

For me it would be the Diablo series. It's by far the most inspiring and atmospheric music I've come across.

Other great soundtracks worth mentioning are:

Unreal Tournament 2004
Mirror's Edge
Age of Conan
Revenant
Planescape Torment
Warcraft 3
Starcraft
The Darkness
The Witcher
Oblivion
Warhammer MoC
Crysis

...and of course the Turrican II theme :)

A close second comes from the two Etrian Odyssey games, which I love.

I guess no one has heard of the pure awesomeness that is Granado Espada Original Sound Track Volume 1 (http://vgmdb.net/album/4767). For those of you that have never heard this soundtrack before, here are links to some of the songs:

This is why music by soundTeMP rules! The actual soundtrack has 4 discs and one site classifies the soundtrack as "extremely rare". In my opinion, this is probably the best video game music soundtrack to date. :shock:

Mine would have to be Super Mario 64!

my favorite soundtracks are:

-Metal Gear Solid (all the saga)
-Chrono Trigger
-God Of War 1 & 2
-Shadow Of The Colossus
-Final Fantasy VI
-Super Mario RPG
-Kingdom Hearts 1 & 2

and many more...!

One game that nobody seems to have mentioned, and is probably my favourite soundtrack (although it is pretty hard to call) is Perfect Dark (the N64 one).

Not a bad track in there, and they all sound so damn cool.

Runner up is Command & Conquer (the original one). Again, stuffed with tracks that are just incredibly cool.

Aw man, I was starting to get worried :D Yeah, Perfect Dark ties with Ocarina of Time, Goldeneye 007, and Timesplitters 2 & 3 as my favorite game soundtracks :)

GoldenEye, Command & Conquer (The whole serie up to Red Alert 2 Yuri's Revenge, after that I don't like very much), Perfect Dark and Final Fantasy VI and VII.
Those games marked my childhood, mainly because of their songs.

IMO the best video game OST would be Silent Hill 2.

Pretty crazy to mention a single best OST ever, if you ask me, having hundreds of different albums out there with more coming each day.

Pretty crazy to mention a single best OST ever, if you ask me, having hundreds of different albums out there with more coming each day.

Well, the name of the thread is Best Video Game Soundtrack Ever!!!, not Best Video Game Soundtrack(s) Ever!!! so I named only one. The one I felt was the best IMO. If I had to name a few others which are great but weren't the best IMO I would have mentioned Chrono Cross, Silent Hill 3, Voodoo Vince, and Shadow of Destiny.

I'd have to say Chrono Trigger: The Brink in Time.

Chocobo Mysterious Dungeon
Digimon World Series

Rockman Series

FF7

Best soundtrack for the best game!

Tekken 3
Final Fantasy X
Metal Gear Solid 2
Halo 1-3 and ODST

i haven't got one.

but i've heard Uematsu worked overnight to produce the opera piece in ff6. So logically he has put the most effort into an OST ''ever''.

I mean, taking your bed into the office... Not to menntion working with limited soundware at the time.

I can't really think of any other vast limitations.

MGS2 was interesting since they were communicating overseas. But that's not as mad as working over your time to produce a now great peice of music.

As a ut freak the most music i like much is ofcourse ut music.
And i have a collection about those games wich is several gb big.
I have all music containing all versions of ut.
The music from ut 99 and some modified mp3 songs from the internet is kindly modified and edited to the house music genre,wich is very cool.
And i like those music specialy the mixes, wich was made by some dj,s.
.

Yea dude, the UT series has some awesome music, i have a lot of them on my hard drive i listen to often.
What are those mixes you mentioned?

~Des

Final Fantasy X (the first ost of Uematsu in which he leaves on the background the MIDI's, using most of the time real instruments, making a beautiful songcrafting)

Chrono Trigger

My favorite soundtracks have to be

the first Onimusha,
Silent Hill 1+2,
Dino Crisis 1
Echochrome

Sony PlayStation� - Tenchu 2: Birth of the Stealth Assassins

Final Fantasy X (the first ost of Uematsu in which he leaves on the background the MIDI's, using most of the time real instruments, making a beautiful songcrafting)

Sorry, but most of the time you hear samples. Except the vocals and the orchestral ending theme. Even the Guitars are VST Instruments. (most of the sounds came from Sonic Implant)

By the way: The sounds from the PS1 Games based on (back than) state of the art high-quality-samples too. They where just heavily compressed. The reason why for example the strings sounding so annoying is, that the loop was extremely short.

A soundtrack where I like ALMOST ALL the songs: Mega Man 2 (thanks to Entertainment Systems, I like Wily Castle 2, I just don't like the robot master battle song). I know I like Megaman 3 better, but I'm not a fan of Needleman's & Shadowman's stage music.

Okami

Final Fantasy VIII.....but I love everything about that game so I'm a bit biased maybe. Nobuo Uematsu is amazing. I also love the Silent Hill 3 soundtrack and Castlevania: Symphony of the Night.

Oblivion, Guild Wars, Lair

My favorite soundtrack(s) in my opinion would have to be...
Castlevania Symphony of the night,
Rondo Of Blood (PC Engine Version)
SuperCastlevania IV

My alltime favourite would be Star Ocean 3, by far.

But I also like:

Star Ocean 1, 2 and 4
Baten Kaitos (Awesome Prog. Rock and a real Orchestra)
Tales of Symphonia
Super Smash Bros. Melee
StarFox Assault (This and Melee also had Orchestras perform their music.)
Metal Gear Solid 2
Devil May Cry 3 and 4
Sonic Adventure 2 and Heroes
Final Fantasy 7, 8, 9 and 10
Crisis Core FF7
Final Fantasy 12 (I love Hitoshi Sakimoto's style)
Breath of Fire Dragon Quarter
Metroid Prime 2: Echoes

Final Fantasy VIII...

Starcraft: Brood War. But I'm incredibly biased.

Mine's a tossup between this lot:

Bejeweled Twist
Descent 3
Descent 3: Mercenary
DoDonPachi Daifukkatsu
DoDonPachi Daioujou
Gradius V
Ikaruga
Soukyuu Gurentai
Tradewinds Legends
Trauma Center: Under the Knife 2

This is my top ten anime soundtrack. I happen to seen this in youtube and I like it

Castlevania 4 and SotN, Silent Hill 2, Power Blade.

I love all of them but the best ones are:
Super Mario 64 (Koji Kondo)
Mario Kart: Double Dash!! (Shinobu Tanaka, Kenta Nagata)
Mario Kart DS (Shinobu Tanaka)
Final Fantasy series (Nobou Uematsu)
Kingdom Hearts (Yoko Shimomura)
Mario & Luigi series (Also by Yoko Shimomura)
Mario Party 5 (Aya Tanaka)
Yoshi's Story (Kazumi Totaka)
Super Mario Galaxy (Mahito Yokota, Koji Kondo, Mario Galaxy Orchestra)

i haven't got one.
but i've heard Uematsu worked overnight to produce the opera piece in ff6. So logically he has put the most effort into an OST ''ever''.
I mean, taking your bed into the office... Not to menntion working with limited soundware at the time.


First time I read this post....
You know that's an intersting fact...
I also read that Yasunori Mitsuda had stomach ulcers while working on Chrono Trigger. xD

Valkyrie Profile Silmeria.
Or Star Ocean 3 Volume 1

I would have to say Metal Gear Solid 2: The Other Side.
I love all the other OST's I've got, but my list is too long :P

Ooo, I'll have fun with this. Aside from the top 3, this is open to infinite change:

1. Yasunori Mitsuda - Chrono Trigger
2. Nobuo Uematsu - Final Fantasy VI
3. Hiroki Kikuta - Secret of Mana (Seiken Densetsu 2)

7. Ryuji Sasai - Final Fantasy Legend 3 (yes, a Gameboy game)
8. Yukihide Takekawa - Soul Blazer
9. Masaya Kuzume - Tetris Attack
10. Nobuo Uematsu - Lost Odyssey
11. Ryuji Sasai - Final Fantasy Mystic Quest
12. Miki Higashino - Suikoden II
13. Nobuo Uematsu - Final Fantasy IX
14. Nobuo Uematsu - Final Fantasy VII
15. Yasunori Mitsuda - Xenogears
16. Yuzo Koshiro - Actraiser

24. Koji Kondo - The Ocarina of Time
25. Jun Ishikawa - Kirby Super Star

Wow- I don't know what to decide.

I guess anything and everything composed by my top 6 composers, Ryuji Sasai, Tsukasa Masuko, Motoi Sakuraba, Toshio Okamoto, Yuzo Koshiro, and Takane Okubo.

I guess you have lined them all well...all these are the best sound tracks ever and i'd prefer to make no changes in them..however i do like the Kikutas secret of mana which is my favorite..others are good as well.

I also like Kikuta's work in Secret of Mana. I wonder what happened to him? I know he left Square to work as a composer for a company called Sacnoth, then after Sacnoth went under, no one knows what happened to him.

For me it has to be Shin Sangokumusou 7/Dynasty Warriors 8's soundtrack that's number one. They brought back and remixed a lot of the older songs...including Circuit (IF staff roll for Wei kingdom, not sure if used for credits for the other kingdoms).

^that and also Final Fantasy Series (obviously - since it's basically this and mainly Final Fantasy related stuff that I listen to on my PSP)

Darius II. (My favorite being the genesis version) Nothing for me has evoked the same type of imagery that this soundtrack has when playing the game. In just the first level, Olga Breeze manages to detail the exact sounds I would imagine each of the enemies having as they appear on screen, somehow even detailing the way they are shaped or the way they make their entrance by musical cues alone. Believe me, even as a kid, I always thought: "Huh, if weird fish-robots were jumping out of the liquidy flames of the sun to kamikaze my ship into oblivion... That is EXACTLY what it would sound like." Say Papa at the end levels, where there is nothing but the sound of this soothing music complete with gentle ocean waves while you're blasting things to kingdom come blew my mind as a kid. Don't even get me started on Zone B: Muse Valley. Give just the first level of the game on a genesis a try, I promise you won't be disappointed.

My Top 3 Favorite Are..

1. CT32-5299 | Toy Music: Dancing Super Mario Brothers - VGMdb (http://vgmdb.net/album/2351)
2. WWCE-31261~3 | SONIC GENERATIONS ORIGINAL SOUNDTRACK BLUE BLUR - VGMdb (http://vgmdb.net/album/29979)
3. POCS-21032~4 | SONIC THE HEDGEHOG 1&2 SOUNDTRACK - VGMdb (http://vgmdb.net/album/26814)

Grand Theft Auto: Vice City was pretty amazing when it came out.

Favourite video game scores would be:

Gun (Christopher Lennertz)
The Walking Dead (Jared Emerson-Johnson) Beautiful, story driven score
Gears of War 3 (Steve Jablonsky)
Batman: Arkham City (Ron Fish/Nick Arundel)
Terminator: Salvation (Erik Thunberg/Trond-Viggo Melssen) Up there with the film scores
Skyrim (Jeremy Soule)
Deus Ex: Human Revolution (Michael McCann)
Call of Duty: MW3 (Brian Tyler) Hate COD, love Tyler

Can't think of any more right now, but yeah...

Oh, this is easy. Anything Super Robot Wars games put out. ...I even own the soundtracks to Super Robot Wars: Original Generations, 2nd Super Robot Wars OG and Super Robot Wars OG: Moon Dwellers, while I've pre-ordered the soundtrack to Super Robot Wars V. I'm likely also getting the soundtrack to SRW X once it's released.

It's honestly the best game bgm I've ever heard - it was even the first reason why I became a Super Robot Wars fangirl. ...Not to mention there's a LOT of music in this series. For example, nearly every OG character has their own personal bgm theme which makes like 100+ unique themes (out of which my favorites are Steel Beowulf, Chinese Gym Teacher of Flame, Hero Senki, Dark Knight, Trombe!, The Sword That Cleaves Evil, Real Ability, Burning Red, Roar O One Who Breaks Supremacy, Resisting Against Fate, Messenger From The Void, Valsion and some themes from Banpresto pilots not OG-fied yet).
