Screw that.

Though to be fair, I wouldn't like that song as much if it didn't remind me of Persona 4.

i like p3 overworld theme more

Out of all the amazing jrpg soundtracks, you picked Kingdom Hearts...

I would be quite pleased of JRPGs managed to purge this kind of music.

Also, this is the apex of JRPG music IMO: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t7wJ8pE2qKU

A better question is why is jrpg music so unoriginal and unimaginative that you can pick it out as jrpg music without actually having played the game before?

Well yeah, it's Kajiura Yuki.

Wish she'd compose for more video games. In addition to her own talent, she has so many excellent female vocalists that've worked with her at this point...Kalafina has been producing some pretty fantastic stuff. FictionJunction YUUKA was a really impressive project as well.

Thats another good song, but this song surpasses it by a mile in my opinion.

Out of all the of the Final Fantasy X tracks, why the HELL did you pick that one as the one? I'm really interested to know. I'm just so confused right now.. you could have picked this (beauitful): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MFnKAPNcqog or this (epic): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TP11mbbIilw or this (epic): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zp6kMUISpYM or this (epic): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j3uCmM3sF5Y There are even more soundtracks that destroy the seymour one..

[QUOTE="Brownesque"] Try a dictionary, bro.Brownesque

You could just tell me, chief.

But then I wouldn't get the satisfaction of having you look. After you wound me around this much because of your own ignorance, why would I waste my time when it would take you five seconds to type it into Google? Plus, as it stands, I have the satisfaction of knowing you're ignorant of it. I gain nothing by telling you.

Lol, I think you put a bit too much time into that response. Fair enough. I'll go look myself then.

Wha? Motoi Sakuraba is still making some awesome sound tracks (Resonance of Fate and Tales of Graces to quote recent projects)

Atlus usually has some good music also...a bit more modern-sounding, but still can invoke the (late) 90's

Jpop, man. Blame the Gee Gee baby. Blame the 'my waifu.' Blame whatever. But Sakuraba is still keeping on.

I actually clicked them all except the last, assuming it was also Nobou guess what they say about assuming things is true. More Chrono Cross never hurt anyone though so it's all good :)

Radical Dreamers is excellent as well but I didn't feel like posting a piece with any vocals. I would have just posted pretty much every song if I could/wasn't lazy. I've done a few songs from Chrono Cross and FFVII/Crisis Core on my guitar myself.

I hated everything about Fallout 1 and 2. The music is bare... you'd think there would have been some life in this dead game.

IMO might I add.

Hey that's great to hear!! I can play Another Guldove, Another Aruni, Radical Dreamers, and Reminiscence Thoughts Not Extinguished from Chrono Cross and Price of Freedom and Under the Apple Tree from Crisis Core. Been trying to learn some other Chrono songs, but I'm damn lazy these days.

Have you heard Kabukibear's version of Radical Dreamers? Let me know what you think. And trust me, you're gonna be blown away.

Atleast a little music? The character could sing and I wouldn't mind. Surely something other than wind and ominous sounds.

Yes. I agree.

But listen to this guy play it. Amazing. He even does the vocal part in addition to its guitar parts.

Yeah that's actually the version I learnt from. I haven't been playing too many songs from either recently though since I've been working on learning the Blazblue soundtrack. Completely different style but it's awesome.

Why has no one mentioned Mother 3 where the music is part of the gameplay, in where if you tap A by the music rythyms, you can combo. There are many different battle themes for different enemes.

Here is a boss theme...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KMDWeSzyTvc

Don't forget the main theme...Love Theme, its on Smash Bros Brawl.
