Chrono Cross is the first RPG I ever played.  Considering that, I was rather spoiled when it comes to music.  I love its soundtrack.  Chrono Trigger is of course fantastic on the music front as well.

The Crisis Core soundtrack has drawn my interest recently.  If only its songs were just a little less repetitive.

The original Banjo-Kazooie was partially built around music, considering all the notes you had to collect, the note doors, and the names of the main characters.  It's no wonder they had a varied and fun soundtrack.  I'm glad it continued into the other games.  I believe I heard the track is unreleased/not played in normal gameplay, but my favorite Nuts and Bolts song is what should have been the final boss music.  You'll know it when you hear it if you're a Banjo-Kazooie fan.

Woah, great take on "The end Begins" Mental Gear ;) lol

Videogame music is awesome. I've always liked at least a couple of songs from EVERY game I've played. What I named there is the most well known and probably the best, but there's a hell lot more. I want to become a Composer and make music for games :) Hopefully someday..

Can you point that one for me Silvas? Never played Nuts and bolts as I don't have any current gen console yet X_X

On YouTube (This is just the first one I found.  There are probably better and/or longer recordings available.)  For some strange reason it is played during the credits, not the final challenge.

A lot of the Nuts and Bolts music are orchestrated versions of past music, with the occasional thematic twist included.  A lot of old songs are put into a medley for Banjoland though.

Awesome :D I recognized it instantly with the first 4 notes ^^ One of my faves from old Banjo games.

OCRemix has a real nostalgic piece based on Super Mario 64.  If you liked that game, search OCRemix for Devastation's Doorway.  If you don't start recognizing the tunes at 34 seconds, you can't call yourself a fan of the game.

Square-enix games in general have good OSTs. Radiata Stories's is quite unique.
Oh pitiful shadow lost in the darkness, bringing torment and pain to others. Oh damned soul wallowing in your sin, perhaps...it is time to die

It is fairly unique, but I can't recall any of it in particular.  I think I had one or two songs from it I liked more than the rest, but I've forgotten what they were.

I always like the Soul Series sound tracks.
Soul Blazer, Illusion of Gaia, Terranigma, & (on a spiritual level) The Grandstream Saga.

For those that don't know, The Grandstream Saga is made by more or less the same group that made the true Soul series.

Seiken Densetsu 3, Secret of Mana, Chrono Cross, Chrono Trigger, and Final Fantasy I (for nostalgia's sake).

Quote from: "Vanya"I always like the Soul Series sound tracks.

If you mean Soul Edge / Blade / Calibur, ditto. I'm glad Namco gave it an orchestral OST as opposed to techno-metal like Tekken is flooded with.

That said, my favourite SC track of all time is Doubtful Judgement, Inferno's alternate theme from Soul Blade.

While the Soul Edge/Calibur games do have an excellent orchestral soundtrack, that's not what I meant.

I was always a fan of guilty gears' OST, as far as fighting games go.

Also, because I forgot it before:  obligatory Katamari Damancy.
Just another rebel plotting rebellion.
