Best Music?

[Dawg 2005]

Which gaming franchise do you think has the best music?

For me, it'd be the Zelda series. Hands down. Then Pokemon, that old theme song is just so, so catchy. XD

I have no idea where to find Pokemon music (from the games), so if anyone knows where... tell me. kthx XD

[Hero of Time Link³]

umm I have to say Zelda then Final Fantasy then Super Mario then Pokemon

[Manaphy1128]

Nah...not Zelda..

Probably Mario.Not the old ones as much.The new ones.Like Paper mario:The Thousand Year Door,or Super Paper Mario.

[Soma Peries]

The "Tales of" series, no question about it. Each soundtrack has it's own unique feel to it, and the songs are so catchy and colourful, and I've yet to play another game series that executes a soundtrack so well.

[Lightning]

From what people've said, Tales of Symphonia sounded like Golden Sun. And I hated the music from Tales of Legendia. XD;

Anyway, I do like most of the music from the Tales of series, but my overall favourite has to be the Kingdom Hearts series. I like the image songs and the soundtracks themselves so much. And one day I WILL get the complete OST. T_T;;

I love the Final Fantasy music too. That's always done well. :x

Okami also has a gorgeous soundtrack; I love listening to its music.

[Houndour2005]

Little Big Adventure 1 and 2, The Longest Journey, and Syberia 1 and 2.

[Hideki~kun]

I like LocoRoco's music *shot*
Hmm, hard, I like Pokémon music xP

[Esupio]

Parappa the Rapper.
after that Guitar Hero.

[Shiraishi]

Tales of Symphonia (TE'HEALLA ONLY) I forgot how to spell that :/
and then pokemon FR/LG the remixes were excellent.

[Sabaku no Gaara]

Guitar Hero 2, Zleda: Twilight Princess, then of course Pokemon DP. I like DP's more than any other of the series. Maybe cuz it's newer and I really havn't heard it much. Guitar Hero 2 is kinda stupid to say, but what the heck? I like the song track. Zelda is just good.

[Liebe]

I say Guitar Hero and Twlight Princess.

[Kuckiki]

I have always like the music from Final Fantasy games. Final Fantasy 10 had the best for the series.
Pokemon's music is OK. Zelda is another one of my favorite for its music.

Just when I thought nobody was going to say FF games. Anyway, besides that and Zelda I'd say Castlevania SOTN.

[TRIFORCE89]

I haven't played a single Final Fantasy game, but I have the soundtracks to the first eight games. I am a ZeldaFan and I love Zelda music, but... it just can't be compared to Final Fantasy.

Every Final Fantasy game's score manages to be completely new (save for a few themes), while Zelda heavily reuses old themes. Although, most of the time the renditions of these classic themes are completely fresh or even well disguised (like in The Minish Cap).

My favourite video game scores are:

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time & Majora's Mask (I group them together due to featuring heavy song reuse)
Final Fantasy VI
Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars (I like this score from Shimomura much more than overly synthesized Kingdom Hearts)

I also like Paper Mario. Tsujiyoko and Senda did a great job of giving classic, recognizable Mario music an extra kick.
GoldenEye managed to get a lot of mileage from one theme. XD

[yvette]

Kingdom Hearts, for 'Simple and Clean', and Utada Hikaru.

ELITE BEAT AGENTS MUSIC PWNS ALL


Well sweeties, for me, it is the original Super Mario Bros. I could actually jam to the 8-bit chip tune music in public and couldn't care less.

Also Zelda, Pokémon, Metroid, Megaman, Kingdom Hearts, Super Mario RPG, and Street Fighter music were good too. XD

[Jack O'Neill]

Command & Conquer, no question. Frank Klepacki > Nobuo Uematsu and Yoko Shimomura, any day of the week.

[SBaby]

Oh, that's easy.

The Atelier Series, hands down. Also, Ar Tonelico and Mana-Khemia and really any Gust game.

The music isn't overpowering and headache inducing, but you'll find yourself humming the tunes after hearing them enough. Plus the opening themes are just awesome.

If you've never seen or played these games, you're really missing out.

[Kuckiki]

Was listening to my MP3 last night and I forgot all about "Passion" and "Simple and clean. From Kingdom hearts.
But it still has to be Final Fantasy 10. Mainly because of sudeki da ne. That song is amazing.

[Toshinden]

Well, I can't really say Guitar Hero 80's Edition since they didn't actually create those songs...

So I'll have to say Tales Of..., Golden Sun 1 & 2, Lufia 1 & 2, and probably Final Fantasy, even though I've never finished a Final Fantasy game before.

[caheoo123]

ot the old ones as much.The new ones.Like Paper mario:The Thousand Year Door,or Super Paper Mario.

[Went]

I love the Paper Mario series music (just now I'm listening to the SPM soundtrack). Then the Emerald soundtrack and finally, Zelda TP.

[L]

The Atelier Iris games have really good music. The OP themes are amazing. Zelda has a really memorable soundtrack as well.

[TwiliteReflektion]

Fire Emblem has a great soundtrack.

...well, the newer ones at least.

[C.C.]

Well, Kingdom Hearts has had some really good music. I would have bought the soundtrack if it wasn't sold out at the Best Buy when I wanted it! Final Fantasy has some great music as well. Heck, Square Enix altogether is good at music! XD The Valkyrie Profile music is also good; gotta love that mysterious classical!

My faaaaaaavorite musical peice though is the Sylverant Dungeon music from Tales of Symphonia. It's hypnotizing and it makes those hour long dungeons fun =D. Coming in second is Switzer De Notte (?) from Kingdom Hearts. If you all want some good music, try playing Touhou games. It's got a great group of music.
