Top 10 videogame songs of ALL TIME

[Kyle Shidair]

Man this is going to be hard. These songs are not in order of greatness, because I'm not the kidn of guy who can get that precise about os many great songs.

10: Fighting of the Spirit ~ArrANGe MiX~ (Tales of Phantasia PSX OST) Fighting of the spirit is seen in Tales of Phantasia and Tales of Symphonia when fighting a summon spirit. Empowering and bold is the basis for this song. Listen to it and feel your adrenaline run. Plus the piano solos kick ass.

9: End of a Thought (Tales of Symphonia) End of a thought is just that. After so much trouble through the game this boss music really sets the mood. An end of a thought. An end to this fight. The final encounter.

8: Grandia 2 Middle Boss Battle v.2 Another boss track that totally gives the feeling to one of the many chaotic fights one encounters in the Grandia series.

7: Prolouge (Final Fantasy 4) The music when Cecil and Kain first leave Baron and you see that long ass message you only wish you could fast forward through. I love this song so much because it really sets the mood to whats going on. It can be used in a very swell dramatic sense and I constantly find myself repeating the endgame scene (which uses this song).

6: I am Impact! (Legend of the Mystical Ninja: Starring Goemon) I am the best, yes, I am impact! This song kicks so much ass it should be dubbed the KING of "summoning-a-f*cking-badass-robot-to-tear-shit-up" song.

5: It Doesn't Matter (Sonic Adventure 2 version) One of the greatest current age Sonic songs out there. Telling us to do what we should if it be wrong or right, and to follow our hearts. A great song thats upbeat and makes you wanna go do something.

4: Suikoden 2 Intro Song thingy The intro to Suikoden 2 is so badass, it makes Sephiroth's orchastra look pansy. Sorta. =P A really great mix of loud battles and fighting, relaxation and revival, and new hope and rebirth. Watch the intro if you want to know what I mean.

3: Breath of Fire 4 intro I can't remember the name but htis intro rocks. The music is very laid back and mystical. I find myself sitting in the dark listening to this bad boy with other songs like it. Truely a relaxing song with a hint of tribal thrown in.

2: Grandia Theme This is the one that plays in the intro of Grandia and in some parts of Grandia 2. Such a song provokes adventurous nature within myself.

1: Battle Outside Soda Fountain (Brave Fencer Musashi) This is the music that plays right after Musashi beats the second guy of Leader's Force and he has to tear through the courtyards of the Thirstquencher Empire. This music rocks.

Wooh thats it. Good golly thats alot of songs. Took me forever to write. @.@ I included midi's of the songs I could find. I only did the first few cuz the others suck. Find these in MP3 formate. They are teh best.

10. The SaGa Continues (Romancing SaGa trilogy) - Especially the Romancing SaGa 3 version. This is one of the best themes of a series.
9. Chrono Trigger Theme - The theme fits Chrono Trigger well. It is my favorite song for the Chrono series.
8. The Great Plains March (Dragon Quest VIII) - It is sort of a march remix of To a Vast World from the same game. The soundtrack will really get me hooked on playing Dragon Quest VIII.
7. Behold the Adventure (Dragon Quest III) - The field map theme of Dragon Quest III. It is my favorite Dragon Quest song, especially in its SNES (or SPC700) representation. The song also occurs in Dragon Quest Monsters I.
6. Chapter 4: Dance by the Sky (Fire Emblem: Seisen no Keifu) - This song is packed with strings, and some French horn. It sounds very nice.
5. Theme of Fire Emblem - Especially the Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance representation. It is the theme of my favorite Nintendo series. It sounds entertaining. I listen to this song quite frequently. Marth is my favorite character in Super Smash Bros. Melee, while Ira of Fire Emblem: Seisen no Keifu is my favorite Nintendo character ever.
4. Flight Into the Unknown (Seiken Densetsu 2) - It is played when Randi flies a Flammy. It has a catchy rhythm. I listen to it several consecutive times.
3. Electric Talk (Seiken Densetsu 3) - This song is entertaining. It has both classical and techno feel to it. Seiken Densetsu 3 features catchy rhythms and lots of strings.
2. 1000 Words (Final Fantasy X-2) - Especially the orchestral versions. Both versions of the song sound very good. I know how to sing that song. I memorized the lyrics very well. I listen to this song nearly as often as my favorite video game song.
1. Suteki Da Ne (Final Fantasy X) - Especially the orchestral version. It is my absolute favorite video game song of all time. It is the most beautiful song I ever heard. It is derived from Yuna's Theme. I made a karaoke MP3+G of the song, derived from a MIDI based on the orchestral version. I listen to this song just about daily. I listen to it at home, on the road, and at someone else's home.

10. Earthbound battle music-Earthbound, SNES
There are a great many battle themes, and I like most of it, but since I have to pick one, I think it's the music you get when you're fighting the starman supers under Stonehenge. Sorry that's not very descriptive, but that's the song I like.

9. Invincibility-Sonic CD, Sega CD
It's not very artistic, it's a simple song, but hey, I can groove to it.

8. The Lost Village- Castlevania, Dawn of Sorrow, DS
This song just fits the setting perfectly, and it's beautifully composed to boot.

7. Opening Theme-Super Smash Brothers Melee, GC
Well composed, well executed. It's quite difficult to mash existing songs together, but this one did it well.

6. End of War-Power Quest, GBC
I like it. That's about all I can say.

5. Liberi Fatali-Final Fantasy 8, PS
The vocals completely sell this piece. Not to mention it's one of the few songs that actually synchs up with the video it's playing with.

4. Ending Theme-Super Mario 64, N64
A completely wonderful piece, peaceful, yet energetic, the best ending music off of any video game I've ever played.

3. Joker's Room-Fighter's Destiny, N64
This is the first time I ever turned on a game just to listen to the music.

2. In Zanarkand-Final Fantasy 10, PS2
Quite a lovely piece. The first video game music I actually learned to play myself.

1. The music playing in the Legend of Zelda, Twilight Princess E3 2005 Trailer
Yes, I know this is cheating a bit, but this song is one of the most beautiful I've ever heard.
