This question is self-explanatory, what is your favourite piece of video game music?

As for me, mine will always be Lucca's Theme from Chrono Trigger.

For me I have to say the entire Tomb Raider's series music is really quite enjoyable and it got me through the game easily with their nice sounds and themes, in particular Tomb Raider: Legend had one of the best music that was a pleasure listening to. Aside from that I like mostly all the Pokémon battle music, newer DS generation.

I have, like, a lot of favourite music. VGM is pretty much all I listen to, lol. Among my top songs, Ace Attorney's many "Cornered" themes, and the ensuing Announce The Truth themes. Away from this awesome, awesome, series, Super Mario RPG has the awesome themes revolving around Geno - his forest and the goodbye. On different songs (POKEMON!), we come across Goldenrod, Verdanturf, the SS. Anne and the ending theme for each generation (last one is BW, so spoiler. It is also absolutely epic. I only just heard it too -drools-). In a similar vein to the last songs, I also love WEWY's Lullaby for You (in both English and Japanese).

I think I should stop there now. Keep in mind every linked word is a song of its own when clicking those links!

PPPPSSSS. Before I do though, there's something quite important I totally forgot about.
Everything ends,

But everything begins again, too,
and that's always happy.

Red Dead Redemption has an amazing soundtrack in general. Far Away and Deadman's Gun are my two personal favourites.





Also, Compass is good:



Besides RDR, there's also a few obvious classics such as FFVII and Ocarina of Time.

I have a list so big I can't remember ANY of it! -____- Anyhow, I've been playing through my Megaman Zero games, so at the moment I'm thinking "X, The Legend" is pretty nice, but the sound quality is sort of cruddy and I can't find a remix that does it justice. Same with the Neo Arcadia theme.

Everything from Team ICO's games. <3
YES!

ANYTHING from the Metal Gear Solid series, the white house burning theme from MW2, Silent Hill intros, Sonic / Mario 2d era music, final fantasy etc etc
Agreed with MGS, MW2 and Silent Hill. I love all of them as well as the Tales of Symphonia music.

Overall soundtrack? Chrono Trigger. I only played the game shortly after the DS port came out and... omg. I fell in love with the soundtrack. Despite never having played the game before, the music was so nostalgic to me. I love it and all of its remixes. When I don't know what I feel like listening to, it tends to be my go-to playlist. (I also adore the music from Chrono Cross, despite never having played it.)

After that, the series with my favourite music is Kingdom Hearts. Listening to that playlist right now and loving every minute of it. I wish there were more remixes of it though. :( I also love the music in the Ace Attorney and Professor Layton series. And I guess Pokémon, at least for the nostalgic stuff in first and second gen--with a few tracks from the later games sprinkled here and there.

As for single games:
  • Assassin's Creed II
  • Braid
  • Eternal Sonata
  • Final Fantasy VII
  • Final Fantasy X
  • Katamari Damacy
  • Okami
  • Tales of Symphonia
  • The World Ends With You
  • World of Goo

Specific favourite tracks?

Lord of the Castle (Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories)


Graceful Assassin (Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories)


Fulfilled Desire (Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII)


Kokoro no Kiseki (Eternal Sonata)


Venice Rooftops (Assassin's Creed II)


Calling (The World Ends With You)


There are more but those are the only one I had uploaded from song claims. 8D;

Okami's music is just awesome. :D It even has a pretty neat 8bit album, as well as a piano album. But the piano album is so quiet that it becomes white noise to me whenever I listen to it until I get to the end and hours later, realize I'm no longer listening to music. :'(

It's impossible for me to answer this effectively because I rarely got videogames that had soundtracks included so I'd know the individual titles of the songs and such... I'll try to remember some I may have enjoyed as a whole though... even though I can't even remember much of that.

Tales of Symphonia-> I say that since it was basically my all-time favorite game, and probably still is. Now if I could get around to playing it again...

Castlevania-> I wasn't a fan of since the older days, but I loved the music of all three DS games.

Shadow Hearts: Covenant-> The music was so dark, yet sometimes... upbeat..(for lack of a better word right now, since that's a terrible choice , I'm sure)? Or just had a dark, and just downright strange mix into it, and really knew how to get my blood pumping at boss fights.

Legend Of Zelda-> It's a given.

Mario-> As above.

Mana Khemia: Alchemists of Al-Revis-> ...I think that's the title. In any case, I liked the music of the first and second one, so... yeah. Good 'ole electric guitars adding more epic to the fight, all the time. Most of the other music wasn't too bad either.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl-> Collecting CDs fallen on the crazy battlefields was awesome. Of course, the music was just as awesome, sometimes having changed up versions of old classics and such. As for music that may have played during an actual fight... I can't remember, since all I recall are explosions and craziness.

Okami-> Wow was that a beautiful game, in both forms of art; graphically and musically.

Super Mario Galaxy -> One word: Orchestrated. It was, well, music to my ears, heh.


I know there's more, but I can't remember. =/

...omfg how could I forget this ._. I went into the battle sorta not expecting much then it hits me and the sound instantly is shoved to max.
