I highly recommend Halo soundtracks. The greatest music in all of videogames IMO!

Not really. Rarely a song will catch my ear and inspire me to find out about it and other times I'll listen to tracks from old games for nostalgia's sake (the Opening Theme from OoT is heavenly in that regard.)

No. Video game music tends to only be interesting in the context of the game...

Heck yes I do. I highly recommend Akira Yamaoka. Especially the tracks where he has vocalist. Like:

Hometown

You're Not Here

Shot Down in Flames

Great stuff. The instrumental stuff is astonishing as well.

Although I haven't yet found a score that I enjoy in its entirety, certain individual tracks are very well written. This jumps to mind. The Total War series had some very good tracks (especially Rome), and I liked the opening theme of Morrowind.

They're a lot like movie scores for me. I will listen to tracks, but I've never sat down to listen to an entire score in one session.

Some of Bowser's Inside Story music is good (Final Boss especially); some other tracks do catch my ear, but most of it is, just atmosphere and I tune it out.

Listen to Zelda, Mario, FF, DQ, Kingdom Hearts, Oblivion, Silent Hill, and TimeSplitters. Also make sure to listen to Chrono Trigger, Chrono Cross, Castlevania, and maybe even Pokemon (handheld ones). I pretty much do the same too. I've just recently downloaded (from youtube) my first 'real' song. All my others have been videogame music. :P

If you have them on iTunes, you can check straight from there how much space the "Game Soundtrack" genre takes up :P

Lack substance? Orchestrated game music is more musical than most forms of music.

Uh please lets not start a debate over what constitutes substance in music and then struggle to define them.

you know, and im ashamed to say this, FFVIII is the only FF that i havent played (aside from XIII) so im not really familiar with the soundtrack although i guess i could just as easily look it up. but the world ends with you is an AWESOME track! whenever my pc is on its on the playlist! you have the entire Kingdom Hearts playlist?
