What's your personal FAVORITE music track from a video game?

Comments

2gamers1podcast.bsky.social•141 days ago

Big into the Zelda soundtracks
Final Fantasy (especially 7 and crisis core)
Pokemon games
Mario sunshine and 64

jaredpoolaw.bsky.social•138 days ago

The entire soundtrack for Clash is great, but this track is the one I often find myself coming back to.

Song of the Ancients (Atonement) from Nier Automata. It hits me with so many different emotions every single time I hear it

retroblast.bsky.social•141 days ago

This is undoubtedly one of my favorites, it's incredible.

built-on-graves.bsky.social•141 days ago

I'm glad you agree! I love that there are several different versions of this song in the OST so you have different ones to suit different moods

Final Fantasy VI - Aria di Mezzo Carattere

I have way too many to think of, but I have to give recognition to a battle theme that stuck with me for years and years, the Sinistral Battle theme from Lufia 2. I need to replay this game.

My personal favorite music track from a video game is the music from GameBoy Tetris.

utterlyjake.bsky.social•141 days ago

My fav changes a lot, but for the 'mo? The chapter long build-up, the intense emotion, Kabbu's final stand all alone and down to 1HP, surviving from sheer will and this blaring the entire time? The stuff of legends. All comes together to make this one amazing OST!

Lunar Silver Star theme song, SEGA CD.

becky.posts.games•141 days ago

Ohhhh that’s a tough one.

My favourite of recent times would be Weight of the World from ending E of NieR Automata. The moment when you get an assist and the chorus starts singing is incredible and a real 4th wall break.

All time favourite though? I don’t know if I could honestly pick one.

jcdenden.bsky.social•141 days ago

That's a BIG question. 😱 Erm...I think the intro music for Metal Gear Solid: Special Missions, Metal Gear Solid 2, Skies of Arcadia and Silent Hill will have to compete here. Oh, and Deus Ex. But I really can't pick one favourite. There's also much to pick from The Legend of Zelda-games.

This track from Perfect Dark. It really turned things up a notch.

multiverserift.bsky.social•138 days ago

And the underdog, honorable mention, the absolute banger:

The obvious choice:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LHhjnJP0VCo

ugh-pfft.bsky.social•141 days ago

I would say the soundtrack for Silent Hill 3.

captainoftheship.bsky.social•141 days ago

thats hard to say but when i need to chill i always go back to kh1 traverse town

geraldcollings.bsky.social•141 days ago

Thunderforce 3 has some of the best music of any video game.

https://youtu.be/rBnLUqJvRD0

ericmalcolm.bsky.social•141 days ago

The stellar loading screen music from Friday The 13th (NES)

inzeroe.bsky.social•141 days ago

Halo 3: ODST is such a sleeper pick. I maintain that ODST is one of the best halo games released and a lot of that can be attributed to the soundtrack really giving the game the perfect ambiance.

gamingtechpost.bsky.social•141 days ago

I’ll just leave this here..

A tie between ‘hepatica#3 ~ I believe in you’ and ‘hepatica (KOS-MOS)’ from Xenosaga III

yamada84.bsky.social•141 days ago

Man, there's so many that I love! However, one song in all its incarnations sticks in my brain. Here's the latest version for your listening pleasure

https://youtu.be/DiX1nLHM1Ts?si=y-q0PtIAXKhfM3Je

thegameshark.bsky.social•141 days ago

Song of the Dragonborn (skyrim menu song). Gets me hyped to play every time

cdub77.bsky.social•141 days ago

Def a top 10. Forgot about it

xenoblademonado.bsky.social•141 days ago

Game music, especially from Nintendo's IPs, is my favorite genre...so it's hard to pick just 1 song. A few faves though include:
You Will Know Our Names ( Xenoblade Chronicles )
Dire Dire Docks ( Super Mario 64 )
Kakariko Village ( Zelda: A Link to the Past )
Brinstar ( Metroid )

xenoblademonado.bsky.social•141 days ago

Dark Hero ( female version ) ( Astral Chain )
Man with the Machine Gun ( Final Fantasy VIII )
Corneria ( Star Fox )
Aquatic Ambiance ( DKC )
Reincarnation ( Tokyo Mirage Sessions )
Simple & Clean ( Kingdom Hearts )
Big Blue ( F-Zero )
Raid Blue ( Sin & Punishment )

DKC Aquatic Ambiance!

edtheanimationdork.bsky.social•140 days ago

For me, it has to be Dancing Mad from Final Fantasy VI.

edentiefling.bsky.social•141 days ago

I really love the Jolly Roger Bay music from Super Mario 64 - I have definitely listened to it on repeat for hours as relaxing background music before

shnick1985.bsky.social•141 days ago

Honestly too many to count.

I find myself gravitating to a lot of Castlevania music, though. Particularly “Lost Painting” from SOTN and both Mortvia tracks from Curse of Darkness

ponytatsujin.bsky.social•141 days ago

https://youtu.be/fjmms3DQrCI?si=YvKFkCKYV0M9k98c

There's...something about this song that just...resonates with me. Makes me cry every time I hear it.

rabbitearsblog.bsky.social•139 days ago

I will forever love Open Your Heart from Sonic Adventure and Live and Learn from Sonic Adventure 2!

digityze.bsky.social•141 days ago

Great Sea from Windwaker is so good, sailing the great blue with the seagulls flying above you while the soundtrack blares is so exciting!

Honorable mentions to the entire Metal Gear Rising Revengeance soundtrack.

oddballpaladin.bsky.social•139 days ago

oof… um… Oh boy, tough one.

But if we’re going by number of versions in my playlist, has to be “To Far Away Times” from Chrono Trigger.

chromat1c.bsky.social•141 days ago

easy.

gogojessica.bsky.social•141 days ago

Bloody Tears from Castlevania, especially when METAL 🖤

The bike run song from Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!! 🥊🚲🗽

wugenius.bsky.social•141 days ago

I have so many, but to me, one of the most hauntingly amazing tracks will always be Brinstar Red Soil from Super Metroid.

leupawn.bsky.social•141 days ago

From Ocarina of Time, definitely the opening theme. Instant classic ❤️

rairailessthan3.bsky.social•141 days ago

I cant pick just one theres too many good songs out there. I can tell you what ive been jamming to the most recently which is "Like Chimeras" from the cassette beasts soundtrack

thegamersician.com•141 days ago

You're asking me an impossible question.

But because of the combo of song quality, and what was happening in game at the same time...

I gotta go with this Journey banger.

dljadow.bsky.social•141 days ago

The Torvus Bog Subterranean music from Metroid Prime 2 is the perfect ambient music that I use to focus on something.

Also there's Knight of the Wind; the only good part of Sonic and the Black Knight and the swansong of Crush 40's soundtracks for the series.

Shore of Dreams - Chrono Cross

https://youtu.be/3L6p1sAEehM?si=REsSTzX3R5nzdga6

cdub77.bsky.social•141 days ago

Ludwig the Holy Blade, but it’s closely followed by Lady Maria of the Astral Clocktower.

To Zanarkand Rocks, Streets of Rage 2 OST is peak. Lost Odyssey world map OST, original JPOP title theme to Dragon’s Dogma is so bad it’s good.

I'm legit going to go through all of these songs in the comments, even if it takes a while. I always want new game music to check out if I haven't heard it!

mansoorlee.bsky.social•141 days ago

Music is very important to me in so many ways, but I will choose this because nothing prepared me for the pure magic that this track made me feel, it is a defining moment for me, that I hope to make a video on in the future.

I put down my controller when I heard it!

Too many to list, but one I do want to highlight is the instrumental version of His World from Sonic 06. That plays during the final boss.

heygooberman.bsky.social•141 days ago

I really like the music from Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest, especially Stickerbush Symphony.

retroblast.bsky.social•141 days ago

Stickerbrush and Forest Interlude are my favs as well!

inferno3000.bsky.social•141 days ago

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qB5UK5bOG3I

one of my favs

dragoon0723.bsky.social•141 days ago

The Prelude from FF (any of them) is always amazing, An end once and for all (ME3), Rose’s theme (Legend of Dragoon), and Westminster roofs (Nightmare Creatures) always come to mind

theleedlelee.bsky.social•141 days ago

Hmm, maybe this https://youtu.be/ixv_jRI6VqY?si=eCiKKVovC8f4o5P_

Eterna Forest from Pokémon D/P/Pt

kotbox.net•141 days ago

Very few songs hit the magical nostalgia like the Mystic Ruins from Sonic Adventure.

I remember experiencing it for the first time and feeling like I was uncovering a rich hidden world. Still one of my favorite settings in all of Sonic

534ll.bsky.social•141 days ago

it doesn’t matter from sonic adventure. it just goes too hard.

thesibgp.bsky.social•141 days ago

"My Village is Number One" from Xenogears. Such a wonderful track to start off the game. My favorite version is found on the Creid arranged soundtrack (renamed to "Lahan"). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7fWRPkXzk2A&ab_channel=kamuirsx

darkyozora05.bsky.social•141 days ago

“Destati, Destati”

darkyozora05.bsky.social•141 days ago

Honorable mention:

cats-cucumbers.bsky.social•141 days ago

I’m not a huge aficionado when it comes to music in video games I’m afraid but I absolutely adore Ode to Somewhere from Deathloop. Reminds me of Green Day at their peak and that’s saying something. Not just a great video game song but an absolute tuuuuune full stop.

cats-cucumbers.bsky.social•141 days ago

Listen this this. Beautiful. https://youtu.be/THLl_6nbMho?si=HBZL_MDI6eqzyd7N

argoti.bsky.social•141 days ago

FFXIV has so much good music I think this is still my top song though (have not played the newest xpack)

https://youtu.be/63eYyhpW1Bo?si=D1wyH3vhWC2oFTS6

freeplaygaming.bsky.social•141 days ago

Way too many to list, but as far as outside ZUNTATA, Konami/BEMANI/the many aliases of Naoki Maeda and a few others I'll go with one Final Fantasy song I always come back to time & time again: "Struggle For Freedom" from Dissidia Final Fantasy NT (originally from FF 12)
https://youtu.be/Bfpzj6Y8Z8Q?si=E3c7vsPOH1OX0Hq-

sleepygamer.bsky.social•141 days ago

I always liked Prologue from the FF games, and I think the version played in FF8's ending is the best. But, while this is kind of cheating, the compilation of character themes redone for the ending of FF6 is also amazing.

oddballpaladin.bsky.social•139 days ago

Prologue/Theme done by the London Symphony for the “Greatest Video Game Music” album was my wedding processional.

sleepygamer.bsky.social•138 days ago

That's an amazing choice. For me, since Mass Effect 2 was relatively new we went with the music from Kasumi's party.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BHdH3-yn84A

sleepygamer.bsky.social•141 days ago

Okay I have to include this because it's one of the best tracks I've heard in a game in a long time.

sheikahchampion.bsky.social•141 days ago

Having one personal favorite is difficult, but the ones that comes to mind always is Song of Time from Ocarina of Time and all its variations

I'm showing my age but I was a huge fan of Jungle Hunt and loved the music for it in an era of bleeps and bloops
https://youtu.be/PZnoW2Rp7OQ?si=gjyeQycniDYMcyb8

robbisikk.bsky.social•141 days ago

The music of Robert Holmes in Gabriel Knight Sins of the fathers. After 30 years I still think it’s the best

shezcrafti.com•141 days ago

The opening from Lunar: Silver Star Story (remake).

Oh god I could put so many songs here 😅 if I could put the entirety of Mega Man 2, Undertale, and The Messenger here I would. https://youtu.be/YCck1y3TUBE?si=_v8FPvBqjmBNN5mA
