Ok continuing on from my last thread, he’s a different question.

What is your favourite music from a Video Game?

So for me, there are two answers to this for me.

One: The opening theme songs for the VR Games, I expect you to Die. They are absolute and fantastic, and certainly channel that classic James Bond spy feeling. Cannot help but sing them.

Second, multiple songs from Final Fantasy XIV. To The Edge, Endwalker - Footfalls, Shadowbringers, some of the songs from the Alexander Raids , there’s too many to name, but these are all great, and seriously can’t stop myself singing along to any of them when they come on.

    The composer, Hitoshi Sakimoto, has done many other games and they often have a very similar sound.

      dude yes! final fantasy 12 is probably my second favorite soundtrack, if I’m rating my personal favorites from final fantasy in general. the world of Ivalice and the music he composed for it just hit different.

        Agreed. I may or may not use a lot of his music for my ttrpg games. Nobody sets the atmosphere of a city quite like he does.

          couldn’t agree with you more, my friend! eruyt village immediately comes to mind. such a beautiful track. the beauty of the viera something as well! if you hadn’t played ff tactics advance beforehand, you probably wouldn’t have seen a viera before then. so it really just pulls you in. did I randomly go into the village just to hear the track from time to time? absolutely.
