I've always enjoyed video game music. One specific memory from when I was really little sticks out for me. My sister and I were jumping on a bed and running around in circles while having Donkey Kong Country on pause during the first boss battle. Rather strange memory, yes, but it was tons of fun. Really sticks out in my childhood for some reason.
*Ahem* Well, anyway, onto the video game music I listen to... Some of my favorite VGM soundtracks come from these games:
- Chrono Cross (& Chrono Trigger)
Truly a masterpiece. I can't get enough of this soundtrack. Chrono Trigger also has an excellent soundtrack, but I happen to favor Chrono Cross more. Both have very memorable tunes, but I've always felt more attached to the Chrono Cross soundtrack. Chrono Cross is currently my favorite video game soundtrack, and Time's Scar from Chrono Cross is one of my favorite songs, period.
- Final Fantasy series (Including some of the spin-offs)
Pretty much every one I've played has good music, but the best part is that you can always count on a few exceptional tracks that truly define each game in the series. My particular favorite musically is FF6, and my favorite track from FF6 is Terra's Theme.
- The Legend of Zelda series
Same as above. My favorite game, musically, is Majora's Mask, my favorite track from MM is Clock Town Day 2. Stone Tower Temple is a very, very close second. However Clock Town Day 2 just defines the game for me.
- TES: III Morrowind
This one is one of the only video game soundtracks actually on my MP3 player. Partially because it was a gift, so I didn't have to buy it myself, partially because the music from this game is actually pretty good, and it's grown on me. My favorite is Call to Magic, the theme that plays in the main menu. Very adventurous feel to it.
- Kingdom Hearts series
Most of my favorites are ones that don't come from disney movies and were made for non-disney parts of the game, but I really enjoy most of the battle remixes. It's just that the overworld themes in disney areas are usually based on songs with lyrics, and I prefer the lyrical versions. (Haha, how weird am I for enjoying original disney songs?) Also, I really enjoy both the English and Japanese versions of the Utada songs in the series.
Of course, there are probably a good many that I'm missing here, or didn't go into enough detail about. Age of Wonders, Brave Fencer Musashi, Neverwinter Nights, Donkey Kong series... Even games I've never or hardly played like Portal and Mirror's Edge. I could go on for some time, so I'll stop myself now. Basically, if I finished a game, there's probably a track or two from it I enjoyed. The ones I listed have music I enjoyed the most/that was very memorable.
