Best RPG Soundtracks of All Time

[Nightmare7454]

if the supermarios soundrack is better than this /watch?v=dQXIhUhIg1U then you are clearly out of your mind.

[DezzyDh96]

Is Planescape: Torment on this list?

[MithosFall]

I agree with most of your choices. =)

[santanaquan]

i use to love the music from golden sun and still do actually lol

[deahtmetal1000]

man all arent that good but the 2 first espacially chrono is a blast

[NintendoGam3r]

Stellar choices my friend. FF6 at number 1 is very appropriate, as is Chrono Trigger at #2

[Jason9811]

@NintendoGam3r Thank you very much, it was hard to decide really on those last 4 lol

[Shredder2898]

Chrono trigger should be number 1

[Jason9811]

@Shredder2898 Yeah I was thinking that at one point but I liked FFVI's more

[Duorsa]

@Jason9811 Yeah I agree with Shredder2898 I would swap FFVI and Chrono Trigger, but still its a very very good list that would undoubtedly be no easy task with the amazing amount of great rpgs with godly soundtracks. Great job man, I still have yet to play some rpgs on snes like smrpg, earthbound and som which I played but got bored and lost unfortunately. Chrono Trigger is my second favorite game of all time, and FFVI and FFIV aren't far behind that, my fave game is OoT, sooo much nostalgia.

[Jason9811]

@Duorsa See the thing is Chrono Trigger's was good and seriously I mean GOOD but Final Fantasy series music usually tops it knowing the sound team behind them. Especially the Orchestra's they hire as well

[Jason9811]

@Jason9811 Then again it's the same company, I just found the audio quality better in FFVI than CT

[Duorsa]

@Jason9811 maybe, I respect your opinion. Except they didn't use orchestras back in the mid 90s -_-, they both had the same audio quality, if anything CT would be higher being released a year later, but obviously they are the same. But you do make sense, Yasunori Mitsuda did CT as Uematsu did about the remaining 10 tracks for that game and Uematsu did FFVI all by himself. Although I heard he had like two years to make the FFVI ost. Also CT is just one game, FF, theres nearly 30.

[Jason9811]

@Duorsa No I know what you mean but I meant as a whole. FF has always been good in terms of audio, from past to present. It's really hard to top such a franchise lol

[Duorsa]

@Jason9811 yeah, I like your opinion and can see what you mean, my bias goes to CT. I played it first and got so immersed into it, even teared up at the ending a bit. And its I would say the best non-Uematsu soundtrack of all time, then the Zelda series would be the runner up imo. Still, once again great video, and I agree with the stability of FF's music over the years, although you have to admit its not the same without Uematsu anymore. You gotta commend Mitsuda though, he got ulcersfromCTlol.

[Jason9811]

@Duorsa Yep I agree with you on that one, actually you know after Deus Ex Human Revolution came up? The soundtrack blew me away, seriously just some gave me tears. Search up "The Fate of Mankind Deus Ex" amazing.

[cangremon]

shin megami tensei: digital devil saga 2

[skudzer1985]

Nice top 10, our opinions on video game music are quite similar. I won't bother pointing out what I would have put in, but I would have loved to hear a little more of each song, at least 30 seconds or so. No biggie though, again, good list! :)

[Jason9811]

@skudzer1985 Oh by all means feel free my friend. I'd like to know what yours would have been :)

[ChilieConCarnage07]

Cool top ten...I'm not sure if this game counts as a proper RPG but have heard about the song called dearly beloved for the kingdom hearts soundtrack?

[Jason9811]

@ChilieConCarnage07 Yep KH was great too but sadly I never played it ONCE, I know I'm pathetic haha

[maksusername]

Oh my god, what was the song called that was from Xenosaga, I freaking loved that song!

[Jason9811]

@maksusername Just search for Xenosaga Main Theme and you should get it. If you're thinking of other ones try and look for the OST.

[TheShogun94]

I find the soundtracks from the elder scrolls morrowind and oblivion just great

[Jason9811]

@TheShogun94 Oh yeah no doubt, but the old music these days are just so captivating it was hard to pick out exactly what should be on the list.

[alinktotheVC]

nice list and your number 1 i agree with totally

[Jason9811]

@alinktotheVC Yeah nothing beats the classic music from 6. Blackjack (which was played for this specifically) makes you feel like you're going to fly off into an adventure. Try listening to it when you go up in a plane, it's just amazing.

[SyntheticVampire]

What's the background music?

[Jason9811]

@SyntheticVampire Check the credits at the end, it's the first one in order.

[skudfarkus]

@SyntheticVampire bitter sweet symphony by the verve.

[Jason9811]

@skudfarkus Actually it's by the Cornandbeans, the Verve is the original band who did it. This is a remix version. Check the credits at the end ;)

[capostatus937]

I personally enjoyed Final Fantasy's IV's soundtrack the most then VII

[CutiepieLink]

yay! tales of symphonia!!!! :D (zelos and kratos are my favs <3 )

i don't play playstation or SNES so i don't know much of them :'(
