What are your favourite game OSTs, individually or as a whole of the game? Mine would personally be, as in the entirety of the OST, in no particular order: -Tales of Zestiria -Kingdom Hearts -Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time -Danganronpa V3 -Persona 3 -NieR:Automata -DOOM The trials definitely have the best soundtracks from the game: Apparently there's no discussion for this, or at least I didn't find any  |
They're not talked about much, but I have a huge fondness for the Pokémon soundtracks, particularly Colosseum. I guess there's also Xenoblade Chronicles, Mirror's Edge, Little Big Planet and probably a ton more that I can't remember |
Orcarina of Time is for sure my favorite OST from any video game. But there are a lot of great ones: -Legend of Zelda: Orcarina of Time -Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker -Chrono Trigger -Persona 5 -FFXIII & FFXV (believe it or not) -Super Mario Galaxy |
Final Fantasy. I spent four figures on those soundtracks alone. (Many were limited editions with fancy packaging.) I also love the Metal Gear soundtracks. Zelda is great too. Here's a phenomenal orchestral recording from The Legend Of Zelda 25th Anniversary Special Orchestra CD included with the limited edition of Skyward Sword on Wii. |
Nier:Automata. In fact the opera boss track was the reason I got interested in the game lol Honorable mention to Pokemon, especially the Mantine surf theme. It's so fun to listen to. And ofc Cynthia's battle theme is up there too.  |

Other ones I really love are Journey and Nier, they have so much great stuff. Modified by Xanato, Aug 15, 1:01 PM |
Need For Madness 1 & 2. One of the few games that features Italio Disco/Hi NRG as it's soundtrack. Also Senran Kagura, a cool mix of pop, rock and traditional eastern styles.  |
Also Guilty Gear, SimCity 3000 and a few songs from FFXIV I guess. That's the stuff I'd actually bother listening to outside of the game itself I suppose.  |
Umineko no Naku Koro ni has the most godlike soundtrack ever. I mean I've played a lot of western games that have good OSTs too but... nothing can match the sheer quantity of amazing tracks that the Umineko games has in store  A cuddle a day keeps the pouting away~ "Holding hands is just the first step to getting pregnant"  |

Dustforce, Mr. Gimmick, Rayman Origins, Rival Schools, Umihara Kawase Shun |
SadMadoka said: There are plenty of great ones but yeah that's one of 'em. I can't really mention just one that stands out as my favourite of the bunch but maybe Dreamenddischarger, idkHaXXspetten said: Umineko no Naku Koro ni has the most godlike soundtrack ever.

The original MOTHER (EarthBound Beginnings) has a lot of mellow choral/instrumental music, probably prepared for marketing and commercials, considering the limitations of NES/Famicom hardware.

One of my favorites: Oh man. EarthBound is my second favorite video game! I highly recommend Mother 3 (the sequel) as well. It was only released in Japan in 2006 on Game Boy Advance, but the English fan translation can be found online and played with an emulator. Since your profile says you live in Japan, I wouldn't be surprised if you played the original. I would share some of my favorite tracks from those games, but there are so many. |

Fantastic game. I personally love the Love Theme and "It's over" which has bits of the love theme in it :) I don't live in Japan, unfortunately. Just didn't want to give out my real location.

Definitely Umineko, Danganronpa, and Persona 3. Nothing will ever surpass those three. To judge others by your own standard is the height of folly. |
Umineko's soundtrack is easily my favorite if VNs are counted as games. It has so many unique, memorable and catchy songs that I couldn't possibly choose a favorite. I don't have another soundtrack I listen to as often. Xenoblade and persona 3 are some other ones I like a lot.  I can see you |
Kingdom hearts 1/2/bbs nier/ nier automata ni no kuni dark souls shadow of the colossus witcher 1/3 machinarium hollow knight the last of us |
 |
Guilty gear and Blazblue witcher 2 dark souls 1 and 2+bloodborne hollow knight most other games have tracks that stand out but overall, these are really memorable for me Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
Assassin’s Creed II,III, & 4. BIoShock 1 & Infinite Halo Pokémon Silver, Gold, Red, Crystal Tetris That’s it for now....  |
Subahibi's if you count VNs as games. NieR Gestalt otherwise. |
Halo 3 ODST's baby, the best from the Bungie era of Halo tbh Metroid Prime's OST is also very great might one of the game osts in my 4.5s on RYM Also gotta give a shoutout to my boi Sanic 06 for its OST, S rank in music but E rank in other stuff lol   Ascended Taste ^ check this list out for some ascended music shit (also to give it more views pls I want this list I worked hard on to make me feel special~~~~~~) |
I was infatuated with Dragon Quest and FF soundtracks but also Kingdom Hearts and Spyro lol. |
In terms of original OST, Shenmue II. EDIT: I'm stupid, OST implies original. |
GTA Vice City Diddy Kong Racing Zelda: Twilight Princess Zelda: Wind Waker Super Mario Galaxy   |

I pretty much agree with everything here. |
Final Fantasy games of course have beautiful music. But I'll post another property from Square Enix |
In no specific order Nier (the original one) - Grandma and Song of the Ancients give me gooseflesh every single time Dragon Age: Origins - Same as above, just with I am the One (both versions) and Leliana's song Drag-on Dragoon 3 - not as good as the two above but Black Song is still a thing of beauty and so damn emotional Dark souls 3 - by far the best of all the souls series, the other ones had a many good tracks but they were very raw overall Bloodborne - arguably the best soundtrack in any fromsoft game. I tend to swing between this and DKS3's, the latter being the one that holds the most emotional value but bloodborne's being as perfect as a soundtrack has ever been for a game. And Cleric Beast is still bloody incredible. Mass effect - a couple of tracks in particular, the rest of the soundtrack was excellent for atmosphere but not to listen to outside of the game Lost Odyssey - absolutely amazing, Nobuo Uematsu doing his thing again The Elder Scrolls games, as a whole, always have an incredibly solid soundtrack. It gets "repetitive" so to speak, but it still remains excellent. Undertale - well, what to say, I love this game's soundtrack a whole lot. I am Setsuna - extremely peculiar as the entire soundtrack is basically piano-based, not something that can be found in many games (or pieces of media in general) and yet it's extremely good without being repetitive in the slightest There are really far too many to name. Honourable mentions to the witcher games for certain, the Ryu ga Gotoku games (Kuze's theme in 0 is godly), the Uncharted series, Splinter Cell 3, Prince of Persia (the cel-shaded one), Ninja Gaiden Black (Alma theme makes me nervous to this day), the original Fable, Dragon's Dogma, Journey, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (yes, really), Deus Ex: HR, Alan Wake and Cave Story. |
Has anyone else noticed that quite a few popular Nintendo OST's got taken off Youtube? It says Nintendo took them down for copyright but... Idk. Something about it just doesn't add up to me... I never thought they gave a shit :p Weird, hope they don't all come down. Anyways I think my favorite is probably... Shadow of the Colossus. What a tight soundtrack :D  |
Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is probably one of the best Nintendo OSTs. There's a mix between sheer ambience and intensity. This is my favorite track. Insert a neat little signature with an anime gif or something here. |

Japanese, can't they make awesome game OSTs anymore as they've used too?! |

Japanese, can't they make awesome game OSTs anymore as they've used too?! Huh? If anything it's the decision of an American. I actually like their new stuff. |
idk, I can listen old 8-bit NES OST's all day and never get tired of them, I really like that sound chip they've used inside NES. |
BallistikJuice said: idk, I can listen old 8-bit NES OST's all day and never get tired of them, I really like that sound chip they've used inside NES. Uh huh that's good too :P But it really took until the 32 bit era for them to be able to realize their full potential. |
im an old school gamer so here are some from Need for Speed |

I actually liked that 8bit trashy sound chip, oh, and some of the 16bit ost's were also nice, like, Shin Megami ost (for exp) although I've heard that they had an additional built-in sound chip on the cartridge itself for that trashy-bass boost. |

Yeah like Super Metroid is pretty boss but come on it just doesn't get the bitches wet like Prime does. But for 16 bit I love Super Mario RPG for its sheer magic. Uh, the popular one on familyguy's channel got removed, but this one is still up... |
another one from Need for Speed that is memorable for me |
chrono trigger corridors of time always gets me in a pensive mood worth mentioning: vamp battle - mgs2 ost snake eater - mgs3 ost outset island - windwaker ost halo 3 ost bust-a-groove ost there’s a lot more out there ff7 as a game is overrated boomer trash |
Most Touhou OST are my fav... Preferably "Satori Maiden ~ 3rd Eye" and "Hartmann's Youkai Girl". I also like some OSTs from Metal Gear series (Both Solid and Rising) and Yakuza 0 |
- Persona 5 - Kingdom Hearts - Drag-on Dragoon 3 - NieR:Automata - Several Tales Games - Several Visual Novel OSTs This should be my list and now that I mention Drag-on Dragoon 3 reminds me of this... |
The first one that came in my mind is Okami, for sure And then, God missed a step of his stairs |
Umineko's OST is absolutely stellar. I'm playing Rose Guns Days now and even though its OST is pretty good, I can't help but yearn for Umineko awesomeness. |
Pretty much every single ost from Final Fantasy XV.   “The most shameless thing in the world is political power that can be inherited regardless of ability or talent!” |
Way too many to list, but I will say, I have always been extremely impressed by the Undertale soundtrack; it's amazing one person can write so many fantastic yet different songs like seriously what a well versed soundtrack. I also very much loved the soundtrack in the Halo games growing up. |
Every single soundtrack of the Dynasty Warriors and Samurai Warriors series. They combine Chinese and Japanese instruments with metal and it's the best combination to create music in existence. Some of my absolute favorite tracks from DW are DW7 - Entrusted Hope DW4 - Straight Ahead DW4 - Struggle for Existence DW8 - Vanish DW6 - Ultimate Pressure DW5 - King of Sadness DW8 - Solo DW5 - Great Red Spirit DW5 - Fate Corrodes Me DW8 - Good Punch DW8 - With Vengeance DW8 - Seventh Journey Games for which I'd claim that the entire or almost the entire soundtrack is superb... Ragnarok Online Emil Chronicle Online Loco - Land of Chaos Phantasy Star Online I, II & III Dark Souls III Zelda OoT, WW Danganronpa I, II, V3 Final Fantasy IX, X-2, XII, Crystal Chronicles Future Cop: LAPD Grandia 2 Gladius Half Life 2 Romance of the Three Kingdoms XI & XII Star Mazer: DSP Snowboard Kids Party Hard Serious Sam 3 BFE Hotline Miami Crypt of the Necrodancer Knights of the old Republic Knights of Honor Valiant Hearts: The Great War - Main Theme Evenicle Eiyuu Senki Sengoku Rance Daiteikoku Halo 2 NieR:Automata Touhou has lots of tracks for which there are remixes floating around better than the originals Megaman has many good stage themes. Bubbleman, Snakeman and Fireman themes are the best imo Silent Hill I tracks are also insane. But for atmospheric reasons. Most games have like 1 to 5 of incredible tracks. I'll just throw some singles out there. To the Moon - For River Assassin's Creed II - Heart From Dust - Main Theme Double Dragon Neon - City Streets 2 (also the ending song is the best ending for a game to ever be created) Dragon's Dogma - Into Free Jet Set Radio Future - Concept of Love Devil May Cry 3 - Devils Never Cry Portal - Want You Gone Xenoblade Chronicles 2 - Drifting Soul Timesplitters 2 - Return To Planet X Chrono Cross - Time's Scar Need for Speed: Most Wanted - Nine Thou Mercenaries: Playground of Destruction - Allied Nations CoD: Modern Warfare 2 - Whitehouse Endrun Battlefield 1942 - Main Theme Hitman: 2 Silent Assassin - Trouble in Russia Freedom Fighters - March Of The Empire Ace Combat: Assault Horizon Legacy - Track 30 Last Ninja 2 - Central Park Ragnarok Online 2 - Login Theme Fable I - Intro Grand Chase - Intro Jade Empire - Fury, Hammer and Tongs Breath of Fire III - Self Determination Sonic the Hedgehog 3 - Final Boss Theme Tree Of Savior - O Deive Metroid - Kraid's Lair Diddy Kong Racing - Taj's Challenge Kirby's Dreamland - Main Theme Magicka - At World's End Diablo I - Tristram Village Way of the Samurai - Normal Battle Theme Epic Battle Fantasy 3 - You'll Never Guess This Gotcha Force - Decisive Conflict Dune 2000 - Harkonnen Battle Final Fantasy VII - One Winged Angel Jet Force Gemini - SS Anubis Neverwinter Nights - Final Boss Theme Shadow of the Colossus - Revived Power Kingdom Hearts II - Dearly Beloved Skies of Arcadia Legends - Ixa'Taka Recettear - Forest Theme Katamari Damacy - Lonely Rolling Star Deus Ex - UNATCO Darkest Dungeon - Mournweald Encounter F-Zero - Big Blue Blast Corps - Tempest City Advance Wars - Sturm's Theme Modified by Flevalt, Aug 20, 2:51 PM |
