What’s one of your favorite game soundtracks? (orcas.enjoying.yachts)

I recently started playing GTAV again and sometimes I’ll get in my car and let the radio stations play while I do house stuff. Favorite stations are the 80s one with Kenny Loggins, and West Coast Classics and Rock Radio.

  • Bastion
  • Castlevania (series, special mention for Symphony of the Night)
  • Chrono Trigger/Cross
  • Dead Cells
  • Destiny 1/2
  • Dragon's Dogma (mainly Into Free, but still...)
  • Final Fantasy (series, but special mention for XI and XIV)
  • Persona 4/5
  • Portal 1/2
  • River City Girls (probably 2 as well, but still waiting on my LRG copy)
  • Scott Pilgrim vs the World (the game (the soundtrack))
  • Tony Hawk (series); a bit of a cop out, as they're all licensed songs
  • Zelda (series, special mention for the Cadence of Hyrule soundtrack)

And then just a lot of old nostalgia for NES games (Duck Tales, River City Ransom, TMNT, etc) and SNES/PS1 RPGs (Lufia, Super Mario RPG, Suikoden, Thousand Arms, etc)

But that main list contains the ones I either bought or downloaded because I loved the music so much.

The Chrono Trigger soundtrack is a goddamn masterpiece. I haven't played it for years and the songs still randomly pop into my head.

Agreed. I never even really played that game. I was a Genesis man back in the 16 bit days, and I've found I can't really play those old JRPGs without the nostalgia factor (and even that's lost its luster). But even with me not having played it, Chrono Trigger still has one of the best soundtracks ever.

Spotting Super Mario RPG in there, you might appreciate knowing some people actually recreated some songs with the original synths used by Yoko Shimomura herself.
