Lufia II has never, once, ever, budged from my top 5 game OSTs of all time spot. Just legendary work, no notes

Like sorry, every single official arrange is too noisy and takes away from the simple effectiveness of it. That's also how I feel about the entirety of OG Nier's remake OST LOL

000

(I actually wish more remakes were like Lufia II's. it's so fucking weird it deserves to exist on its own merits, like, the choice to take the standard fantasy JRPG hero and redesign him with a modern day leather jacket is so fucking funny)

Actually going for a controversial move here and picking an arrangement of the Lufia II battle theme from its very controversial remake's OST because holy fuck is it an INSANE yet so faithful to the energy arrange (Lufia II: Rise of the Sinistrals, SNES) www.youtube.com/watch?v=LrHL...

I'm sorry, I don't care, lalalala none of the arranges are as good as the original! One of the most unique JRPG battle themes of all time!!!!!! Never gets out of my head. (Trails in the Sky FC, PC) www.youtube.com/watch?v=5nBJ...

It is actual insanity hearing this one come out of the Nintendo DS' speakers. I really felt like this OST felt like nothing else Shoji Meguro had ever composed and really showed his range. Utterly terrifying and captivating (Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey) www.youtube.com/watch?v=6P3h...

The way that the PS1 FFs masked loading at the start of battles is part of what makes the battle themes so memorable. I really love how crisp and still almost SNES-y FFVII's soundfont sounds, and the escalation of the theme is so fucking good. (Final Fantasy VII, PS1) www.youtube.com/watch?v=nyVB...

闘う者達

Yeah like, it's my least fav of the PS1 trio but I actually think it has the best overall soundtrack! It's soooo fuckin good and moody

Day 3: Favourite Normal Battle Theme My mind immediately jumped to this first, because it is ABSOLUTELY insane that the normal battle music goes this hard. I have never once, ever, even for a second, gotten sick of this song. (Digital Devil Saga 2, PS2) www.youtube.com/watch?v=0PXA...

If I really do 5 for each you're gonna just get 150 song recs baybeeee

Okay you know what #5 can go to a game that still doesn't exist because this OST is still so fucking impressive and I will be hyped until either the day I die or it actually comes out (Megaman X Corrupted, PC fangame) www.youtube.com/watch?v=wWSg...

(NEW) Mega Man X Corrupted - Music Preview, Opening Stage (X)

instant first thought lmao

Say what you will about X6, but the intro stage being so melancholic because Zero just canonically died supposedly for good is so fuckin' good. I like both versions, but the NA one adds weeping electric guitars. (Megaman X6) www.youtube.com/watch?v=VNjD...

Day 2: Favourite First Level Theme This one's probably going to be hard because it's so specific. Like I'm going to just not remember so many LOL Buuuut this one is a given for sure. Blew my fuckin' mind as a kid. (Megaman X, SNES) www.youtube.com/watch?v=MkhI...

No exactly. The howls are NOT optional.

Aaand lastly, my entire childhood. Specifically Gold. Still the Pokemon title theme that evokes the most emotion in me. (Pokemon Gold/Silver, GBC) www.youtube.com/watch?v=gfHR...

FINALLY SOMETHING JUST FOR MEEEEE yeah yeah do it! :D

I think I'll limit myself to a max of 5 answers per day lol. Another! Though I actually prefer just the tree's theme without all the escalation. (Legend of Mana, PS1). Either way, this melody is one of Shimomura's most haunting and beautiful, imo. www.youtube.com/watch?v=D3Nl...

Another! It is becoming very evident how much I love mysterious and haunting sounding title screens lol. (Ragnarok Online, PC) www.youtube.com/watch?v=pWjx...

Tales of Destiny (Japanese) - Title Screen

Another I've always just really loved is Tales of Destiny (PS1). It's not even one of my favourite games, but how haunting and beautiful the title theme was has always stuck with me. youtu.be/pkEN9jLw9w8?...

Day 1: Favourite Title Theme Well. C'mon. (Secret of Mana/Seiken Densetsu 2, SNES) www.youtube.com/watch?v=8dx5... The crying of the tree... pure fantasy... pure nostalgia.

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Just something I felt like painting in the moment

Link from the legend of Zelda standing on a hill in hyrule field. Death mountain and hyrule castle, along with castle town is visible in the distance. A pair of clouds forming overhead bear the image of Zelda and Ganondorf.

This would happen to me if I faced off against my oldest best friend again, we used to do dumb shit like no items bowser dittos and get stupid compettitive about it but he was in general a bit better than me so my wins were less frequent LOL

I also may go to the big/old comic shop nearby but I do not know if this is the wisest decision after just blowing $400 on a video game and also likely buying concert merch LOL

goddd mood... also like. this really ties into being so upset by an ending just because it wasn't what you envisioned, even if it makes complete sense with the themes of the story
