Topic: Game Soundtracks

Hey everybody. i do a lot of long distance driving these days, what with me going home to see my girlfriend almost every week an hour and a half away, so i've been thinking i need some new music to listen to in my car, and would love to get a few videogame soundtracks. i've heard FFVII is amazing... any other recommendations?

Well, I don't think this has been released in stores or anything, but the soundtrack to Baten Kaitos, both Eternal Wings and Origins, are absolutely amazing. My favorites from these games would have to be "Beyond the Borders of Wind and Earth" and "Lull in the Wind." Don't forget To Zanarkand from Final Fantasy X. That one's great.

If you go to VGMusic.com you can find a bunch of music from different games. You don't have to worry about legality issues or anything here as all of the music is recreated by other users using a sound program. So none of it is actually official, but some of the tunes still sound really good.

Heh, so maybe I'm not so good as to what soundtracks you can get, but I do know a few songs. =)

Final Fantasy VI, Chrono Trigger, Chrono Cross and Xenogears are OST's that frequently top my list.

Brawl. It has like 13 soundtracks in it.

@RandomWiiPlayer: yeah, i love the sound check feature... but i can't exactly play it in my car.... while driving.

@Dezner: how much would those run me, and where?

secret of mana, chrono trigger, jet grind radio, megaman 2-3, final fantasy 6, zombies ate my neighbors, castlevania 1-4, shenmue just to name a few

Shanghai Advance for the GBA is really good, but you'll need to do realtime audio capture from your headphone jack since it was never released separately.

Really like the Super Mario Galaxy soundtrack (the fully orchestrated one) and the World of Goo one is quite nice too

Secret of Mana had a killer soundtrack! Final Fantasy VII, anything from OCREMIX and Super Castlevania IV was really supurb for SNES...Look up Mario Media...They have some of these there.........

World of Goo, Brawl, and Galaxy for sure. The C & C games, namely the Red Alert series, have an awesome soundtrack as well. Happy listening.

In no particular order:

A Link to the Past
Chrono Cross
Final Fantasy VI
Final Fantasy VII
Final Fantasy IX
Megaman 2
Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles
Donkey Kong Country
Perfect Dark
Super Mario World
Opoona
Kirby's Dreamland
Dragon Quest
The Windwaker
Super Mario Picross
Star Fox Assault
Yoshi's Island
Megaman Legends
Sonic the Hedgehog
Sonic the Hedgehog 2
Streets of Rage 2
Ocarina of Time

This is just the tip of the iceberg, but these are some of the best. All of the Final Fantasy piano collections are really good, especially IV and VIII. Also, Ocarina of Time: Hyrule Symphony, is probably my favorite album.

The Guardian Legend

NiGHTS into Dreams has a great OST. Oh and you should check out OCRemix.org.

Download it the music and put it on a CD? Every song in the game is on Youtube.

I remember back in the Playstation 1 days you could put the game CD into your CD player and if you skipped past the first track or two which were the actual game data you could listen to all the tracks from the game, this may be a option for you for FF7 if you can get your hands on a copy.

@RWP: alright... well... i'm pretty much computer illiterate. so give me the dummy's guide on how to dowload a song off of youtube.

Final Fantasy IX is the best FF soundtrack in my opinion. I would also recommend the Super Mario Galaxy, and Twilight Princess OSTs.

You know what, just forget Brawl. I don't feel like posting a tutorial for anything. Just go on eBay or Amazon and buy the Mario Galaxy soundtrack.

Mario Galaxy (if you have the cash)
World of Goo (free)
Cave Story (free)
Mega Man 9 (if you have the cash)
Any game from the disc based 16-bit era (turbografx 16 and Sega Cd)

You could choose between:

• Chrono Trigger
• Arcana
• Breath of Fire
• SoulBlazer
• Super Mario Galaxy

But, the choice is yours.
