I've been getting a bit addicted to listening to good soundtracks from video games. Anyone listen to any good ones? Tell ya what, I'll tell you a couple of my favorites, and you tell me some good ones.
I like the soundtracks of
Mario Galaxy 1/2
Disgaea Series
Persona Series
The World Ends With You
and I'll give ya more if you give me more.
I personally like…
Suikoden II (Neclord's Theme, Luca Blight, Tactical Battle themes etc...)

Metal Gear Solid series
Also this probably would have been better in media.
Chrono Cross OST.
One long tour of beauty from beginning to end.
a mood come alive.
I've said this before and I'll say it again…
GRIM FANDANGO
q41xhqgTryM
I'm more confortable working with Videogame music than regular music. For important parts.. tetris music.
I can't stop recomending Brawl's soundtrack, you are BOUND to unEARTH something that you'll like.
And Zelda's hyrule symphony. All of them except zora's domain are beautiful. Gerudo's valley could have used some castanets.
^ I agree about the Brawl soundtrack. I always liked Star Wolf's theme… some MGS ones are there too.
Ah, Fire Emblem has some good music I think - particularly the main theme which is in the Brawl soundtrack. I also like some of the shorter songs in the GBA Fire Emblems too.
Final Fantasy Tactics is one of my favorite OSTs ever.
All of the (new) fire emblem songs remind me of a part of my final class on college.
Study
The hard exercise
Waiting for the test
During the test
Facing the test
Waiting for the results
Seeing the results
Going to the (bitch) teacher to ask for revision
And the victory!
I'll cross reference tomorrow the songs.
Halo may not be well liked but that doesn't change the fact that it has some godly music. Marty O'Donell is a god.. (he also composed some Flintstones vitamins theme back in the day, lol)

I remember staying in the main menu just to hear the songs..
In Brawl, I would always go to the Music section and just pass time listening to them, as well.
Lets see.
From Star Ocean 3.

It's pretty long(longest boss them I heard) but the mood changes multiple times. Listen to it. It's like a pianist slowly driven into insanity until his ambitions are complete.

Would mention more if the topic is still breathing :)
Shadow of the Colossus.

Guardian Legend remains one of my favorites in terms of old school game soundtracks (it was on the NES).

This, all day long.
I've got a gargantuan VGM collection at this point, and I'd recommend most of what I have (some I got for one song or two. I got the entire soundtracks to those for the collection :p) . One series that a lot of folks here will likely overlook is the KoF series. Seriously, shit's tight. Especially 2002 Unlimited Match, which gave the old style graphics a send-off not only with one of the most gargantuan rosters in the franchise, but the highest quality soundtrack, opting against the sound chip and Arranged versions of one soundtrack in favor of an already Arranged, high-quality soundtrack. Shit, some themes sound like they belong in a Final Fantasy game, while others will ROCK your FACE OFF.
Case in point:

So far, La Mulana, Halo, DK Country, Monkey Island and Grim Fandango, are the only games that break away from the norm of Japanese-developed/designed game soundtracks (Well DK is from Nintendo but ehh..).
We need moar of that, honestly. (Not saying the others suck, though)
And yes, this should be in Video-games section..

Probably because they weren't Japanese-designed… >.>

Just saying, since most are from JRPGS/fighters they'd sound more like each other.
The persona games have good music.

Also Metal Slug. I admit I had alot of favorite tracks but after replaying these babies over 2000 times, this is the only track that stands out to me. It fits while rushing through a military camp gunning down any soldier you see.

A good piece of music doesn't have to be epic, it just has to fit the moment.
Metroid Prime, how could I forget.
Metroid has always had a great soundtrack
Well, I'm done for today…. well maybe. I could never forget songs from Diddy Kong Racing.
