video game soundtracks

The world end with you was such a great little game. Its urban soundtrack fit the setting quite well all though i thought it was perhaps a little more new york than tokyo. I wonder if the music was different in the japanese version?

The Independence War II: Edge of Chaos soundtrack was amazing. The guy was nominated for a BAFTA for it! Here's the playlist:

Yeah I'm not sure why they didn't just use J-Pop/J-Rock for the soundtrack. It's not like they used well-known Western tracks for it anyway. I suppose they chose whatever they felt would fit the mood for different sections of the game.

I really appreciate music from video games in particular those from RPGs.
My favourite soundtracks would be those of Final Fantasy 6, 7, Chrono Trigger, Chrono Cross, Final Fantasy Tactics and Secret of Mana.

Persona 3 has one of the better soundtracks I have heard in a game. All the music in that game was brilliantly done, and is pleasant to listen to in almost any setting at any time. I feel the same way for Persona 4. Both games used the same composer and had very laid back and casual music, as well as very pulsed and fast moving music. Final Fantasy is another franchise with great soundtracks. Granted, it was better when Nobuo Uematsu did the soundtracks himself, but the newest work for that series hasn't been too bad either.

I really enjoyed the Soundtrack of Shadow of the Colossus and Prince of Persia - Warrior Within.

The Ico games do have awesome soundtracks. Good call.

It might sound a little bit "kitsch" but Secret of Mana was certainly the first game (of my childhood) whose soundtracks really touched me.
Here are a few tracks:
Secret of Mana OST - Fond Memories
Secret of Mana OST - A Wish ~ Crystal Forest Theme
Secret of Mana OST - Meridian Dance ~ Mana Beast Battle Theme

My favorite video game soundtrack remains Grand Theft Auto: Vice City.  Particularly the VRock Station. :)

RTW? I never saw the soundtrack as remarkable. My faves are FFVII, and Jet Grind Radio.
