A Third Thread in Which To Share Gaming Music - What does "official" even mean in an independent forum with like 20 users?

I've got a lot of time for these:

To be fair I forgot all about both the how good the Crashed Frigate area was and how peaceful the music was. Magmoor... I feel I should like it more than I do. Then again I'm not too keen on the area either, so that's somehow fitting!

Donut Dodo is the modern-day Donkey Kong game you didn't know you wanted. It's absolutely brilliant in so many ways, but here I'm pointing out that it's got an utterly superb soundtrack on top of it. Here's two of my favourite tunes:

Donut Dodo is a game I do know I want - but haven't got round to yet! All hail the single screen platformer. Those tunes were ace.

Just come in here to post the crashed tune from Prime, as it's pretty good and most of the music is.

Somebody recently posted (elsewhere) that videogames music was designed to be unobtrusive and sit in the background. I didn't agree at the time, and after those Donut Dodo tunes I certainly don't agree now. Big Kirby vibes.

It's BayOrigins time

Title Theme




Friendship

Another point in its favour, that soundtrack. I'm not one for the regular, more jazzy Bayonetta stylings, but give me a dash of whimsy and I'm there day one. Hrrrrrrgh.

Here's the main theme of Meg's Monster, i.e. another one for Mas. It wouldn't be too much of a stress to say that it's the game's music that swayed me towards to picking it up.

Time to watch some anime


VII Medley


From Road 96 Mile 0

That first piece is exactly the sort of thing that would get me pumped for the game. I'm an absolute sucker for an anime-style opening. Definitely disproportionately improved my enjoyment of Monster Boy and the Cursed Kingdom for one.

People are starting to find ways around Squeenix's heavy-handed handling of YouTube, so here's a top Octopath 2 battle theme just a low-res spinning dog, nothing more.



And here, for as long as it lasts, is the theme of capitalism optimism!

Good tunes, I’ve not started OPII or gone back to Ryza 2 (Ryza 3 reviews made me want to go back to play Ryza 2) as yet, though those tunes do make think about going for OPII.

Just bear in mind that, as with OPT1, the music along with the visuals is by far the best bit of the game.

What was a good part of BotW and now looks to continue


Another one for an upcoming game

I just hope that first tune appears in the game more prominently this time!

The Lady's playing My Time At Portia in the background, and (Smurf may have posted this already: sorry if so) I cannot believe how familiar this piece is.  Right from the start, that string pattern is incredibly recognisable.  Fast-forward to 0:46 and it's ripping off another piece from the same game!



Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery and all that, but - wow.


Also here's a track from something I've actually been playing. Spoilers in the comments.

Mitsuda X Hogg

Wow I never picked up on the Portia rip off but it explains why I liked the music in that game so much.
