I'm Sorry But This Is The Greatest Game Song Ever.

The comment by KonobiKun is amazing what he says is:

Music like this had to be made stronger, with more emotions. Music back then had to speak where the characters couldn't emote. The PSX's limited graphic capabilities couldn't portray emotions as effectively in a game like FFIX, so the music had to talk to the player.

A song where the main character's will tested to the limits; his very ideals before him shattered. Even though he had found his race of people, he never felt more alone, until he's reminded of all those fighting with him.

ITs nice but I've heard better.

For FF 9 you really should have put this one, not whichever one you picked:

I teared up the first time I heard that on youtube, it brought so many memories of when I was playing that game all those summers ago. Was a pivotal turning point in my life, so FF 9 will always have a special place in my heart, regardless of me finding the game itself average. And that tune, that tune gets me every time. Every time.

Greatest? But isn't from Jet Set Radio.

Here are some of my favorite game songs.

Gerudo Valley It's just epic.

Forest Temple It's so strange an unusual, it's impossible not to like.

Stone Tower Temple It's just very hypnotic and atmospheric.

Clock town Day 3 It's very fast paced, with that underlying bass, setting the mood perfectly.

Dark World It's just fantastic.

Midna's Lament So beautiful.

Memories of GreenLike Midna's Lament, it's beautiful.

Butter Building It's very energetic and catchy.

Hell Frozen Rain Not only does it sound great but the lyrics are, simply put, genius.

When You're Gone See the description for Hell Frozen Rain.

Acceptance It perfectly captures the sad feeling to the game, while also being very beautiful and having great lyrics.

A cover of Always on my Mind Very subtle while sounding great.

These are just a few of my favs.

I disagree, sounds bad.

Recently, Shadowlord has skyrocketed to the top of my favorite game tracks.

Ever though, it's between Hepatica (KOS-MOS) and The One Who is Torn Apart. One being pretty much the saddest track I've ever heard in any genre and the other being the perfect amalgamation of enigmaticism, sadness, fear and terror. Basically the feeling of being judged by an absolute power.

That's a good one. I like a lot of Final Fantasy music. This is one of my favorites.

BranKetra

Its better orchestrated. Heard that live, amazing

I didn't care for that particular piece.

I like what I hear from Stronghold 3's Music Preview

Stronghold's Paranoia is also good; the first few times you hear it, it makes you take a quick look around the map to make sure nothing is coming or no enemies are around that you missed.

Another track from Stronghold that is quite popular is Two Mandolins

Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story final boss music is gre at, as is Donkey Kong Country Returns final boss

Of course, no song list can go without Baba Yetu.

Aside from intro theme songs, my favorite is from Tales of Legendia.

I like the main theme from Deus Ex Human Revolution.

It's not even out yet...

this one is not from a game it's from the movie 'Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children' but it is a beauty

now from a game, it's a tie between poseidon's wrath and new york aftermath

All those are nothing compared to this, this and this.

all wrong as this is the only "elite song" off the elite soundtrack..

lets face it its 1337 end discussion.. arguing against that is basically saying u didnt listen to the song at all and are just contradicting me and anyone else who thinks so.. it is 1337

elite is one of the best 8-bit-32-bit games ever made and there are many developement teams spanning multiple developers who would jump at the chance for another.. its like yars revenge. elite was one of the better titles of that era and elite III left alot of unfinished buisness in its wake that the 4th and possibly fifth need to do.

so calvin your saying its not "elite" well now ur jsut contradicting everything the song says.. you can argue all you like but its "elite"

I disagree. There are better songs in the FF series than that.

I love Dreaming Of The Shore, Bordering Another World from Chrono Cross. it's fairly been an inspiration for me with a story I've been working on since 1998, I heard the music in 2001 and it helped a lot with inspiration and improvements to the story which I've written out now. Although I'm likely to give it another write up when I'm ready to.

Stupid site won't let me give links to it for some reason. It can be easily found on Youtube.

Aside from intro theme songs, my favorite is from Tales of Legendia.

Tales of Legendia, without a doubt, has the absolute greatest video game soundtrack of all time.

You can't listen to those tracks and still tell me that Tales of Legendia doesn't have the greatest soundtrack of all time.

Sorry but thebest song is "Be with you" By 'Magnet' from ''Dreamfall The Longest Journey''

Nope. Just waiting for somebody to make a statement like that, but I've said this in soundtrack threads before and I'll say it again, epic and beautiful don't always make a score "the greatest". By any definition, Steve Jablonsky's Transformers 1 OST is an easy listen, some very heroic and stirring themes and nice melodies, but when it's all said and done, the composition and sound is just cliched and hackneyed. Epic is such an overused term it holds no meaning to me anymore. Around here, I can't stand what some people post. JRPG music that's just laden with tinkly pianos and airy-sounding waltzes. Too full of whimsy for my tastes. Or your standard orchestra and choral setup for boss fights that just ooze melodrama.

The pieces you've linked are musically competent, and the second one was nice--I do have a weakness for string quartet--but I personally wouldn't rank those among the best I've listened to. Beautiful, for sure, but it does nothing for me to stand out as "greatest soundtrack of all time".

wow, there's like a music war in here, haha.Allicrombie
