What's the most beautiful video game music you ever heard?

Last Ninja on the c64 was pretty fine for its time.

Trine 2 is pretty awesome too!
There's that many tunes in the game hard to say which is the best.
Limbo

Baba Yetu from Civ 4 (which won a Grammy) and the whole soundtrack from Dungeon Siege

Nerds



That being said ..Chrono trigger..the tune that plays anytime a character is bumming out

Squaresoft and Enix, before their merger around 2000-2001, both put out some outstanding soundtracks for their games all throughout the 90's. Star Ocean: The Second Story and Valkyrie Profile (Enix) had amazing orchestrated soundtracks. The Final Fantasy series (Squaresoft) is of course notorious for its musical pedigree, as well as games like Chrono Trigger/Chrono Cross, Vagrant Story and Xenogears. Konami's Castlevania: Symphony of the Night had an excellent soundtrack, featuring some haunting choir singing, creepy atmospheric tunes and some kickass vampire metal! Bust-A-Groove 1 and 2 had some fun and original music. Even the Tekken series had some good music, especially from Tag Tournament on up. Just give a listen to the track titled "Moonlit Wilderness" from Tekken 5. And, of course, can't forget about the Zelda series, especially Ocarina of Time. Just too many pleasant memories and beautiful music. All of these titles listed are just some of the most immediate examples that come to mind.

As someone noted, Morrowind has an amazing OST.

Here's another of my favorites.

One of my favorites. I haven't played AS2, but this track gives me the chills. Reminds me of Italy.

I would have to say one song from Final Fantasy on my youtube channel.



And I would say even some music from Aion is very well done too







And even in World of Warcraft too





Final Fantasy piano music was always my fav

This!

It is amazing how games today excel ahead of Hollywood films, not just in story writing and adventure, but also in music! You’d think these games would create a sense of competition, forcing filmmakers to do better, but...I’m not seeing it.

Suteki da ne (Isn't it Beautiful), Final Fantasy X

OMG This had me so worried! I thought no one was going to pour in some FFX Thank goodness someone loves it as much as I do.

By far the most memorable and beautiful for me is from Xenogears, the music box piece: Faraway Promise

People just seem to be linking to music from games they like, not music that is good per se. Halo 4?? My MP3 player is loaded with game tunes but there's nary a game I like all music from...

I know this is a tad bit cliche, but you just have to love the original Halo soundtrack. Playing co-op with my best friend while this was playing in the background was pure epicness!

'Journey' for the PS3 has some incredibly beautiful music... I've never played the game, shame on me but I bought the album once I heard a few tracks.

Cool stuff.

Journey

Hopefully that link works.

Somebody had to ask... I've got a long playlist...

Surprised nobody mentioned it yet... Cheetahmen soundtrack. Game was total crap, but the effort apparently all went into the soundtrack. Couldn't quite find a decent chiptune version, but this midi version is quite epic.


Here's an old game I remember from a long time back that had a cool track...


And this one had a cool title sequence semi-random bassline that was boss... There's also a decent hiphop remix which uses it by Romeo Knight, it if anyone cares to look.


Some fun PC game I remember from the late 1990's...


Nintendo's Legend of Zelda series is always good regarding music... I'm sure people are familiar with these.




Some other epic song that's burned into my brain, and if you played it you'd recognize it right away...


Not considered a new game anymore, but I still play this often...


And of course there's this one, it's pretty calming even if it doesn't always fit what's going on right at that moment in the game.


There's even more music I'd consider video-gamish and epic, but those are more demo-scene or keygen than true game tracks so they wouldn't quite count. Yet I'd definitely say music of that type happens to be worthy of it's own thread.

Song of Storm



i actualy just rediscovered it

Somewhat amused no one posted this.

Super Street Fighter II - Guile Theme






Dragon Quest III - Zoma Theme (I actually felt like a hero when this played!]





Final Fantasy X - Besaid Theme (the ultimate walking while high song)





Pokemon G/S/C Versions - National Psrk (the song that plays in my head every time a lady gives me butterflies )

All of the music in kotor 2 is deep and dark. I wish i could play through them for the first time again.
