Iconic Video Game Songs [Player's Choice Award]
wygolvillage:
An Empty Tome from Castlevania Order of Ecclesia is my pick for most iconic, to me at least... It's the title theme, basically, but it never actually plays in-game until after Shanoa reclaims her agency and sees past the manipulation she had been subjected to. An Empty Tome scores perhaps the first real decision she's made of her own free will- storming Dracula's Castle. (It's also got a shared leitmotif with her brother's theme ;_;)
And it's a bop!!!!!!!
Listen here!

I got a few tunes both new and old that I've been loving.
Receive & Believe You from Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth - when this track dropped near the end, I was beyond in the zone. It really set the mood and is a wonderful remix of Receive You. One of my favorite songs I've heard in any video game.

All Hail The Fishmen from LISA: The Painful - such a unique sound you don't hear too much in RPGs let alone video games in general. Fits really well for a battle theme.

National Park from Pokemon GSC - this track always hits me in the feels whenever it pops up. I love it so much, takes me back and it aged so well.

Backside of The TV from Persona 4 - When I first heard this in P4G, I felt like I was going into a war, felt like we were marching. Love the vibe.

Mt Roneal from Tales of The Abyss - One of the best overworld themes ever, period.

Aqua Star from Kirby 64 - vacationing! God, I love this whole OST to death, might be my favorite.

Sega did not need to go as hard on the soundtrack for this lesser-known racing game but DAMN did it pay off. :ozwomp: :ozwomp:

Man oh man. I've got a lot of favorites when it comes to video game music, but here's a very small selection of some of my recent favorites.
I think the entire Devil Summoner: Raidou Kuzunoha vs. The Soulless Army soundtrack is iconic but if I had to pick just one song to represent the game, it would be without a doubt Go Raidou! It's a seriously catchy tune that I could listen to for hours.
https://youtube.com/watch?v=9hyFhlt_7EA
Battle B-2 from Shin Megami Tensei IV is one of those songs that I wish had lyrics so that I could scream them from the top of my lungs, but I'll stick to headbanging furiously for now.
https://youtube.com/watch?v=A6cSbof7Pik
Obligatory Castlevania shoutout, Crucifix Held Close, aka Cross on the Breast, aka Cross Your Heart has been my underrated fave for YEARS. The unused rendition from Rondo of Blood especially encapsulates so much of what I love about Castlevania music, with its creepy-yet-adventurous sound.
https://youtube.com/watch?v=r9GGHlLaeUI
Last but not least, The Frozen Dark from The Messenger is just. So good. I can't really put into words what I love so much about it beyond the fact that it makes me want to start jamming out every time I hear it.
