no, this isn't just another generic 'favorite vidya music' thread
for example:
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hTxbs3nVDik[/youtube]
maridia is the single greatest piece of music in the entire metroid franchise, in my most humble of opinions
now, bear in mind, i've only played three metroid games (super/zero mission/prime 1), and only 2 to completion (-prime 1), so my metroid discography is far from complete lol, and there may be even better metroid themes i haven't yet heard out there
but maridia is my favorite thus far because it does such an extraordinarily good job at setting a most appropriate and complex mood/tone for the region of maridia
i do wish it were longer, but the fact that it manages to tell the story it does in 1min 29s actually makes it even more impressive lol

an obvious choice, but that certainly doesn't disqualify it from being an excellent one lol
i haven't reexamined mario's discography thoroughly enough to know whether it's really
the single greatest piece of music in the series, but it's certainly up there

Chrono Cross has one of the best OST's in all of gaming, but I believe this track to be the best out of the 2 Chrono games

agreed, but not a bad one
my own choice for single greatest piece of music in mega man is probably from mm3 also

[spoiler]
...or maybe mm2

Honestly, I've never been able to decide between these two. smithicide;
but oh my god that tremolo RUB IT[/spoiler]
You probably don't wanna even know my choice for MM....
the dark souls trilogy is easy enough:

this is what i would've said. the observatory theme is probably my single favorite piece of music that nintendo has created in the past decade lol (wait galaxy is 11 years old actually fuck)
for pokemon:
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9O-c2YZTvH4[/youtube]
X/Y's music overall was only decent for the franchise, but for this champion theme they really went all-out. it replaced Lance's theme for my favorite song from the franchise.
for castlevania:
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AKVmvVRXXCM[/youtube]
i often say castlevania 3's "riddle" is my favorite, but tbh simon's theme is where it's really at
also, ok, so donkey kong country 2 has my favorite ost in video game history. and i've never been able to say which one is my favorite for very long - my choice is always changing. it used to be "in a snow-bound land," then it was "flight of the zinger"...but at this point, i think i honestly have to agree with the masses and say that the best, complete package truly is "stickerbrush symphony."
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W8zIaaU5i_Q[/youtube]
but i think it says a lot about this game's soundtrack when my top 5 (stickerbrush, snow-bound, zinger, mining melancholy, hot head bop) are all NEARLY equal in how fucking amazing they are. and goddamn lockjaw's locker and forest interlude are also SO GOOD now that i think about it
anyway this is my post for the donkey kong franchise i guess
for kirby it's also extremely hard. i don't know if anyone here really feels as strongly about kirby as i do but i honestly believe that HAL has created some of the best video game soundtracks ever with these games. the series seriously has so many perfect songs. you could knock the kirby series for constantly re-using music, but i think that the way HAL is always remixing older tracks and re-using them really cranks up the nostalgia factor and helps make kirby games as cozy as they are
ultimately, i have to give it up to dreamland 3. best art style, best musical style. and this one in particular would have to be my pick for best in the franchise:
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=InMWh0hMoYI[/youtube]
kaz, do you find aquatic ambiance to be overrated? befuddlement
also super hard to pick for metroid lmao. tec, your choice is VERY good, probably my second favorite song in super metroid. my top has to be this though:
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Sn9G-RHtII[/youtube]
which i guess is probably also my favorite song in the franchise befuddlement
prime 1's ost is almost as good as super's, though. chozo ruins theme, phendrana drifts, tallon iv depths, underwater frigate theme. all amazing. but none of them are as good as the best stuff from super.

kaz, do you find aquatic ambiance to be overrated? befuddlement
no!! i love that track to death, it's my second favorite song from dkc1. my favorite would be "life in the mines." "fear factory" also rules. dkc1's ost is also very very good, but overall it's just a little too much ambience and not enough melody for me personally. i feel like dkc2's strikes a much better balance and is far more memorable.
tales series. fucking FIGHTING OF THE SPIRIT it doesn't get any better than that. whether you want the symphonia version of the super famicom phantasia original, both are amazing.

for final fantasy, i always used to say terra's theme from ffvi was my favorite. but at this point i think this is actually my favorite:

good opinion, good post
I actually think aquatic ambience has a great melody, the only issue being that the intro and buildup lasts too long... the "ambient" part, I suppose
but you know what yeah i think i'd go with stickerbrush symphony as well
tho i'm also v. partial to one you surprisingly didn't mention:
in the air tonight bayou boogie
idk what i'd pick for star fox, the first two games have a lot of great tracks

100% kaz-approved opinion thumbup;
this would absolutely have been my choice for #1 song in the franchise if it weren't maridia, lol
it's just SO much better than the other metroid 1-based brinstar theme that's more commonly found in metroids:
[spoiler][youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WVTzg2kvNaQ[/youtube][/spoiler]
oh how i wish super metroid's brinstar made more regular appearances in the metroid games
the one and only remix of it that's been featured in another metroid... absolutely sucks, lol

i don't know what "soulless" means, but i guess i can see how one might consider it "overly produced" if they grew up with original
i heard the brawl version well before i heard the dkc2 one, so perhaps i'm a little biased lol 5thgrade;
i maintain that the brawl remix is way better, though
The tropical freeze version is better than that, but still not above the original

His is a highly derivative work, in my utmost humble of opinions.

It's simply the most pretentious, sloppily played piece of """music""" of all time. myface;
i am THIS CLOSE to reporting this """masterpiece"""-of-shite to https://boyah.net/forums2/index.php/topic,57023.0.html
I'ven't any choice, I'm afraid.
Perhaps the single most annoying piece of """music""" in this entire thread. No matter how many times I listen, it only gets worse.
