Staff Roll from Vagrant Story. In fact, I'm tempted to edit all the responses here to say "Staff Roll from Vagrant Story."

Re: Favorite Video Game Music

there's at least one track on the shenmue extras disc that isnt in the actual game. I forget what it's called though.

Sunset Riders! Yeehaw! Wahee!

A lot of the best stuff's been mentioned, but I like the usual: Yasunori Mitsuda, Hatoshi Sakimoto (in particular), Nobuo Uematsu, Motoi Sakuraba; Castlevania, Mega Man and classic NES and SNES.


Baiten Kaitos is like some unholy mixture of Chrono Cross and Guilty Gear XX and I think is as good as the latter.

The music by the band Zuntata in the shmup Darious Gaiden is the worst music to sound good when listened to while playing a the game--somehow strange techno perfectly accompanies shooting down waves upon waves of spacebound fish creatures.

I think "Men of War" and "A Warring God" from BoF IV are successful.

"Aoba Park" from Persona 2 and the Bomb shelter music are eerie.

Don't look at me, but the music for this old SNES Power Rangers beat-'em-up had a strange Mega Man-reminiscent catchiness. I used to hum the music to stage 1 and 3, and they also had this remix of the main theme that seems almost intentionally Mega Man-ified and is consequentially somehow so cool it actually wants to make you sing "Go go Power Rangers!" over and over in spite of yourself.

Dragon Quest VII Symphonic Suite is the best thing to come out of said game. When playing DWVII, counting on hearing some of those solemn but tinny old tracks again was my only reason to keep going--the London symphony orchestral does a much better job!

For being stricken with post-8-bit nostaglia, Chrono Trigger, Link to the Past, FFVI, Super Metroid, FFVII and RPG Maker win hands down!

Ico's two songs are swell. And Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory's soundtrack is sufficiently badass.

Parappa the Rapper and Um Jammer Lammy anyone?
