Video Game Theme

Post by Eltee »

Fairly straightforward- just post your favourite video game theme. (prepares for onslaught of 'Call of Magic')
Personally, I love the Battlefield Bad Company one theme the best

I know it's not a theme song, but the Spirit Temple music from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time has always been my favourite video game music.

You say Call of Magic, I say Nerevar Rising. Much better name. :lol:

Anyway that one is my favourite of course, but Jeremy Soule also did the NwN 1 soundtrack. This is a runnerup.

And one of the honourable mentions is the Storm of Zehir theme. It's awesome.

Since my first choice was taken by the OP, I shall go with the Morrowind theme, and my third choice shall be the Halo 2 theme

Yeah, here it is.

Anyways, my favourite theme is, and always has been, the Metal Gear Solid 1 theme.

The opening themes for Golden Sun, its sequel, and all three Metroid Prime games are all awesome.

It hurt my head, but for the few seconds it didn't, I was intrigued by its non-instrumental nature

Still somewhat headache inducing, but to a lesser extent

On another note: Mario paint is fun, for example: Morrowind or Halo

Speaking strictly of theme songs, which I'll take to mean title songs:

Final Fantasy Legend II - The Saga Begins
Wizball - no title
Civilization IV - Baba Yetu
Final Fantasy VI - Terra
original Legend of Zelda - no title
Gran Turismo 2 - Moon Over the Castle
Secret of Mana - Angel's Fear
Mega Man 3 - no title
Final Fantasy X - Into Zanarkand (already mentioned)
Chrono Cross - Scars of Time


lol at the Katamari theme. My jaw really hit the floor the first time I powered up that game. I was like, "This game is SO Japanese..."

Anyway, if you want more, I can keep 'em coming, but I figured 10 was probably about as many as I could get away with in a first post.

The Elder scrolls themes, Battlefield themes, and the Halo ones are probably the only ones I can think of that are legitimately brilliant as standalone pieces of music.

In between the lines there's a lot of obscurity.

Wait, are we talking about game themes, or just game music in general? One-Winged Angel is certainly not the anthem for FF7, nor can all three of those Myst III songs be the one. I am all in favor of discussion about video game music, but I have a feeling the mods will try to pigeonhole us into one topic, and there is that already.

They could've done the Halo one a bit better.

I remembered the theme from a cute childish game called "Zanzarah: The Hidden Portal" :P
