Kind of a crazy topic but here goes. What devs do you think make the best character theme music.

I'll start with Square. They give all their characters in their RPG's their own theme music and sorrt of elevates the mood when a character suddenly joins the scene to his music playing.

Capcom would probably be my favorite. The Street Fighter series. I mean Ryu's Theme has hung around for a real long time. All the Megaman games are also decisive.

Nintendo, man they hit there's spot on. Each character and each game pretty much has a defined song for it like Samus, Zelda, and especially Mario. Just check out SSBM.

So what are everyone elses?

Square make the best character themes. One winged Angel (Sephiroths theme) is without a doubt the best character theme in any game.

Stricly speaking I highly doubt that the devs make the music... it's the composeres isn't it? (I'd love to see kojima rock on the guitar, though).

That said I have to agree that Square & nintendo are pretty good at picking out the right composers. :)

Definitely Nintendo and Square. I mean, if you were to play the Mario theme song in a public area, I bet at least half the people there would recognize it as the Mario theme song.

Square, probably. The old Square games anyway.

As for a single character, the Master Chiefs music is great.

Koei.........Dynasty Warriors- Lubu's Theme.

The best is either Square-Enix or Sony.

The pokemon cries of course.  Those badly put together fuzzy noises pwn everything.  Lol.  Um... I don't really know any games that have character themes...

Agreed on all points, but I'm going to add Bungie to your list.

The music completely defines Halo and the Master Chief. It's basically perfect.

When it comes to character theme music, Square takes the cake with infamous songs like the One Winged Angel for Sephiroth. Well, at least that's my opinion on the matter anyway.

Now to comment on the actual thread...

Add Namco, Double-Fine and Bungie on that list and we are good.
