I'd nominate FF6's Terra (Tina). That's just an un-fucking-real piece. Ridiculously simple and it gets me everytime. Any theme that makes you WANT to wander the world map endlessly instantly earns a place near the top if not at the apex. Various live renditions of it are constantly streaming on my comp.
Most Moving Game Music
-
-
Wild Arms 2 - "You'll Never Be Alone"
The full vocal version is just as good.
Also, pretty much anything from Silent Hill is really amazing and moving. Some of the songs from Silent Hill 3 and Silent Hill 4 were incredible
-
Love, love, LOVE! 'Mystery of the Forest' from Chrono Trigger.
Such a soothing & relaxing piece.
-
Snake Eaaaatteeerrrr
-
Saria's Song is probably my favorite piece of video game music ever. I wandered mindlessly through Kokiri Forest, just to hear it.
-
Agreed, Sarias song is my favorite video game music of all time.
-
the love theme and Sorrow And Loss from FFIV advance- Very beautiful music on both versions.
-
I liked the opera score from FF6, and how it's played again
! after the world ends
-
Shenmue's central theme song. Its exciting, emotional and kick ass all at the same time. The piano version is equally awesome.
-
Terra/Tina is up there, as is Frog's theme from Chrono Trigger. My number one is Smiles and Tears from Mother 2.
The 'I miss you' at the end gets me too. -
Oh god, most of the songs on Silent Hill 2. Namely Theme of Laura (the opening), Love Psalm, True, Theme of Laura (reprise) and Promise.
They're just so beautiful and very melancholy, set the mood for the game perfectly.

-
'Snowman' from the Mother series gets me a lot.
-
This thread is relevant to my intrests.
The Balamb Garden Theme in FFVIII was pretty soothing IMO; at one point in high school, that song would be playing in my head, due to the enormous size of my high school. It's a pretty nostalgic song if you played the game.
The Forest Maze Theme from Super Mario RPG was something overly memorable and pretty moving. The overall feel of the song made finding Geno a "mystery" (even though he wasn't that hard to go after, etc.); for some reason, the song reminds me of one the songs from Hook. XD
-
The ending theme from Chrono Cross was beautiful. I used to play it on the piano a lot.
-
Conversely, I will nominate the opening theme for Chrono Cross. Though maybe it should be under "stirring" rather than "moving," if you feel there's a distinction.

One of the best reasons why I always preferred Mitsuda over Uematsu.

http://djpretzel.web.aplus.net/songs/Zelda_Wind_Waker_Ancient_Hero_OC_ReMix.mp3
Okay, so it's technically a remix, but it's basically the opening theme of Wind Waker. Me and a friend once played this song while playing Tales of Symphonia at the part where
! Your party gets "killed off" in the Tower of Salvation
and all the parts matched up perfectly. It was a little bit sad, but funny at the same time.
Banner by 8bit of Otakuboards. I'm using it here too because it's that awesome.
-
-
The score to Max Payne
-
The song from Megaman X6 that plays in the ending cinematic after
you defeat Sigma. -
1000 words from FFX2
-
The DragonQuest theme from Rocket Slime (it's essentially the same song that's used for almost every DQ game but it really fits with Rocket Slime)
-
I don't know the name of the song but it plays in a still cinematic
after you defeat Orochimaru in the Gedo Mark storyline. -
Opening score to Resident Evil Outbreak
-
St Ave Maria & the original theme for Hitman Blood Money
-
-
I am unable to recall the name, but the ending music to Mother 3.
-
Hmm…
I'd have to say:
Snake Eater - MGS3
The Dream Will not Die: Tales of Phantasia
Eyes on Me: Final Fantasy 8 (One of my favorites, especially the Chinese Version)
The Sad Music in Chrono Trigger
I Won't Forget: Secret of Mana (I get chills every time I hear this...)
-
Yeah…pretty much anything from Chrono Trigger can lay the smack down on what games offer these days which is really impressive considering it's just a step above the blips and bleeps of NES.
Surprised to see Silent Hill themes as favorites. They tend to leave me empty inside.
-
I may sound like a dork for saying this, but I used to play Ecco the Dolphin: Defender of the Future ALL the time on my Dreamcast. That game (besides having amazing graphics) had positively beautiful music that always fit in perfectly with the aquatic theme of the game.
There was this one song in particular called Four Ways of Mystery. Short, but oh so epic.
-
'Theme of Love' from Mother 3
!
Actually, screw it, the ENTIRE soundtrack for Mother 3 is a masterpiece.Eight Melodies/Maria's Song from Mother 1, especially when it plays at the ending.
!
Love Will Grow (Final Fantasy 2's end theme), the vocal version especially.
And… Ah, guilt... That song that plays before the final stage in Parappa the Rapper.
-
Several songs from Ultima 7, but I have a thing for those that play in Skara Brae.
Also, that song that plays in Pandemonium in FF9, when Zidane is alone facing off those monsters and joined by everyone one after the other.EDIT: Man, how could I forget King's Quest 5's music.

The really sad thing about this battle is that it was completely pointless…

Most of Chrono Cross's entire soundtrack was pretty damn impressive, but those two are both really good, yes. Just thinking about it makes me want to play it again now.

@Cyringohn:
Wild Arms 2 - "You'll Never Be Alone"
The full vocal version is just as good.
Yes, and I thought I was the only person that liked Wild Arms 2. I'd add the ending theme of Wild Arms 2 also. I loved that song.

One of the best reasons why I always preferred Mitsuda over Uematsu.
Another yes, although I love the soundtrack for this game as a whole, the opening always stuck out for me.
-
Simple and Clean and Passions from Kingdom Hearts / 2
And any remix of it.
Your Not Alone from FF9 too. That whole scene where Zidane's friends keep popping up is awesome. Hell, most of 9's soundtrack was freaking amazing. All of the main theme remixes were awesome. Probably my favorite FF soundtrack.
-
The other one in Chrono Cross that I really liked was the song that played during the Rock Opera and Dragonrider
oh and EVERY single song that Shadow of The Colossus has when it switches to upclose with the boss music
FFT also had some great tracks I just can't remember their names including the opening
4BSOfx6F5YQ
The PSP remake almost completely ruins this buy having some guy narrate all the lines
also in FFXII when Clash on the Big Bridge comes on for the Gilgamesh fight
EDIT: damn listening to the Cross opening makes me want to play the game again
-

It's pretty impressive when a song can sound so moving on an NES.
Also, "The Meaning of Birth" from Tales of the Abyss. It's that remix of Bump of Chicken's "Karma" when you fight Asch.
-
I'm really digging the love for Snake Eater here.
You all deserve massive hugs.
"I'm still in a dream, snake eater."
-
Pretty much every song related to Shadow of the colossus
Oh, and also this:

@Bad-Beat:

"I'm still in a dream, snake eater."
the ladder climb scene was genius
-
"Last Letter", the ending theme for Thunder Force V. While you hear it, the supercomputer Guardian that you just defeated gives its dying speech to you. What makes it more sad is that according to the plot (yes, a shmup with an actual plot) your pilot is stranded in space in a crippled ship after Guardian explodes and has no choice but to eject and die in the infinite void of space…
Also, the music in Ikaruga. Every single tune in that game is fucking epic and moves you to tears. I like the first boss theme.
ONCE YOU ARLONG PORK, YOU CAN NEVER GO KOSHER
Why is the table you're sitting at have an erection?
-
Frog's theme from Chrono Trigger. That one and the music that plays when you battle Culex in SMPRG and Bagan in Super Godzilla are my favorite sound tracks of the game. I even remember how I loved to mess up with the music menus when they were disponible in a game.
Of course, the music is like the strongest points of the Godzilla series.
-
Terra/Tina is up there, as is Frog's theme from Chrono Trigger.
Cosigned!
Also I'd like to throw in the Legend of Zelda theme. I have a love/hate thing with Zelda games since I really hate Link as a character and dislike them being considered rpgs,but no theme gets me pumped or captures the whole fantasy, swords, sorcery and adventure thing than that song!What the Hey?!
Noone mentioned the entire XENOGEARS soundtrack! Especially the whole those who're wounded seek the light" "lost broken shards" and man the entire soundtrack! The guy who did Xenogears, Chrono Cross, Chrno Trigger and the Shadow Hearts games is the best composer in videogames imho! Hands down!Also, it's a children's comic from Japan.
Why are you comparing it to cultural engravings and burritos.

I don't know if anyone will agree with me. My personal favorite game music? Halo.
It's epic. It's somewhat moving without being continually sad. Most of the music posted already generally has sad tones to it. I think music can be moving without having to resort to feelings of sadness, and any music able to accomplish that is definitely better off in my book.
More Ultima: Ultima Online music. Some times I'd be walking through a forest and BAM I'd start to notice the music. Usually the really sad sounding stuff, but it was amazing. It's worth noting this was all in Trammel, not any of the other facets, and I don't know if the music is any different between Tram and Fel. I'd assume they're the exact same, but Fel got that spooky makeover, so I'm not sure. I didn't play back then. Wish I had. Awesome happy music too. Really catchy.
And agreed on Saria's Song. Though it was the only one I had trouble with on Ocarina. I wish I could find it, I'd like to practice trying to play it again. It's catchy and gets stuck in my head, though. Which kinda sucks later on.
-
If your referring to the original Halo then I agree 100%
-
I liked the opera score from FF6, and how it's played again
! after the world ends
Only one I can think up of along with the music that plays after defeating Ice & Dio in the JoJo fighter :/.
-
Halo 1. And to some extent, their remakes in Halo 3's soundtrack. Halo 2's stuff is more on the epic side, so Halo 3's final Soundtrack is a nice mix of the two. But Halo 1's is definitely much more moving.
-
I thought Sanctuary in Kingdom Farts II was pretty good.
-
Wow…just wow I never like kh2 but thats just an awesome song and it never even appeared in this form except in final mix
-
What about the music from Mario Bros? I bet none of you can forget that one if you ever played the games.

! Godot-Fragrence of Dark Coffee-Orchestral Remix
http://www.finalturnabout.com/music/gmo/08%20-%20Godot%20-%20Fragrance%20of%20Dark%20Coffee.mp3
it will take a minute to load -
(tries to think of a non-Final Fantasy related tune)
I'm gonna have to go with the Metal Gear Solid theme, conducted by Henry-Gregson Williams.
-
Also, "The Meaning of Birth" from Tales of the Abyss. It's that remix of Bump of Chicken's "Karma" when you fight Asch.
Lemme' help out with that.

One that certainly comes to mind is "People Seized With Life", from the Chrono Cross soundtrack. Definately a beautiful piece of music that shouldn't be missed! Hell, much of that soundtrack had amazing pieces. "Time of the Dreamwatch" and "Magical Dreamers" are also fantastic.

-FFXII Opening Theme
-Mother 3 Love Theme
