Sorry haters, the thread is for me to share my unrequited love of Persona 5's soundtrack. Specifically Last Surprise which is an absolute gem of a song! Not only could it stand up on its own in the charts, it surpasses most songs I've heard in recent years. The entire soundtrack is great!

Got me thinking, what soundtracks or individual songs from gaming do you listen to or still enjoy? I particularly enjoy 1,000 Words, Snake Eater and straight out of left field Sensible World of Soccer. All time favourite is THE Red Dead Redemption song by Jose Gonzalez which I am not sharing because it's a spoilery moment of beauty!

EXTRA SONG: Just remembered this from Eternal Champions thanks to the replies!

HATE!

Also how do you know it's unrequited? Perhaps the soundtrack loves you just as much but just doesn't know how to show it.

I was a SNES boy, but my friends had Mega Drives.

Tbh, anything other than Sensible World of Soccer on the Amiga didnt get played until I got Championship Manager 2 for the Amiga.

I was totally hooked on Streets of Rage 2, even today.

However I did very much liked to play Starwing on the SNES.

We cracked out Streets of Rage 1, 2 & 3, Altered Beast and Toejam & Earl a few years ago when Sega released its classics collection.

Edit: forgot about Golden Axe and Ghouls and Ghosts!

So many nice Mega Drive classics there!

For me personally, Ghouls and Ghosts is a second and strong place behind Streets of Rage 2. :-)

To The Moon and Danganronpa soundtracks immediately come to mind. The Digimon Story Cyber Sleuth soundtrack is pretty good too. Persona 5 of course is also amazing, but you never saw that COMIIIIING

From gaming? Hm, most of them are spread over several games and some other are more recent on Steam (where I bought the soundtracks to listen to them. But let's look:

  • Different songs from Final Fantasy but I think the one that kept most in my memorey is One Winged Angel followed by Other World mostly for its cinematic
  • Xenosaga II & III has an awesome soundtrack (well, subjective since it is from my favourite componist). Has some faster themes like Communication Breakdown but also a really beautiful and sad ballad Sweet Song like really really beautiful

On Steam the soundtrack I like to listen are the ones for

  • Our Darker Purpose
  • The Last Door Season 1 & 2
  • Some tracks from the DreadOut OST
  • Some tracks from Half Minute Hero 2
  • Some tracks from Fly'n
  • Some tracks from Obscure
  • Some tracks from To the Moon
    And also game on Steam but no OST available: One Way Heroics where I just can't find my favourite piece of music anywhere in the internet >.<

As for Snake Eater: I am pretty sure there is a version of this song that is longer because the mp3 i have is 6 minutes long

As for Persona. I really liked the OST of P4 - the happiest game about murder you will ever play -, especially the theme of the Velvet Room. And I really really hoped they would make some giant crossover for P5 where the Aigis and the P4 protagonist team up together to save the protagonist from P3 . Or at least some cameos like Chie being in the big city learning her job as police officer.

I never got to play P4! :(

Final Fantasy songs reminded me how much I lived the hymn of the faith from FF10!

I listen to the FFX soundtrack from time to time, simply because it will always be one of my favorite games.

I find the Soundtrack to Remember Me to be freaking amazing! I highly recommend checking that one out, Ally!:)

I also found the Soundtrack to Submerged to be quite relaxing.:)

Going back (a lot) further, here are some neat tunes from the C64 era:

  1. Times of Lore: (I know it's over 9 minutes long, but please listen to it all. It is great!) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SDnrkLTXMaA

  2. Ultima IV (all songs) : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2aHO6V2s_6s

  3. Master of Magic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QRmcv_bR4oE

  4. Druid: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dkXrPAKp7zQ

  5. Wizball: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sFYzjU-C3mA

The combat can be a little annoying at times, but the game really is an amazing experience. I've made a few screenshots for the game, something I only do for games I really enjoy! I really wish the had a Soundtrack DLC for the game. I would purchase it in a heartbeat!

Did you get a chance to listen to any of the C64 songs?:)
