I LOVE NieR. Its the best game Square Enix has come out with this year - perhaps the only good one actually, all things considered. The soundtrack to this game is without peer. Almost every track utilises vocals in some way, and I am a complete sucker for dramatic vocals.
Cold Steel Coffin in particular is one of my favourites - it gives off such an ominous feeling, and this is just for a
village.
Song of Ancients - Hollow Dreams is another one of my favourites; after hearing Popola and Devola sing separately, it was awesome to hear them in a duet, and
Ashes of Dreams is perhaps the only video game song that has ever spoke to me emotionally. Despite this constant use of vocals, which are usually saved exclusively for boss battles in games, it STILL manages to retain that sense of drama that comes with a vocal track -
The Dark Colossus Destroys All is very atmospheric when you're going toe-to-toe with a giant Shade.
Its a shame this game didn't get very much attention, because it easily has the best soundtrack of any game ever, in my opinion~
I do have other favourites, but...maybe I'll devote a post to them later or edit them in this one once I sift through them all. NieR takes the crown overall, though.
