Awesome RPG Battle Music

[spiritplx]

I might be one of the few people who listens to game music on a regular basis, and many of those games I have never even played before.

In honor of lisalover, here are some good "Tales of" remixes: http://tales.ocremix.org/music.html

I've never played any Tales games, but these remixes are really enjoyable. I was first introduced to Motoi Sakuraba through Shining the Holy Ark, and when I found out he did a lot of Tales music, I started listening to those OSTs as well. And through that process, I found these remixes.

I think the Lunar games have some great music (even though the games themselves felt pretty average). For example, the final boss music for Eternal Blue (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o0UwT9ALEZ4).

And I enjoy listening to the Black Mages (even though I've only ever played FF8...I know, I'm a bad person). But it looks like the Final Fantasy series is getting quite a few mentions already, so no need for me to elaborate.

Parasite Eve has good music all around, as well as good boss/battle themes.

That Pokemon track on the first page was pretty good too. Keep posting more great songs. I'm always on the lookout for more good game music.

The sobering truth about this thread is that no one will click on anyone else's posted links unless they have already heard the song.

Haha, so true. In fact, I only quoted you to increase my post count because as we all know that's the only reason to ever post in a forum!

Exactly! Just like I reply to every thread with a joke to hide the fact that I am actually very insecure with who I am, and am probably hiding some deep-seated acceptance issues.

Anyway, thanks for the link to the Tales remixes, sprintplx! I remember going to that site to get some remixes before. Here's a rather awesome battle theme from Tales of Symphonia:

And two more boss battles from Persona 3:

Wait, what? We're not all drones here? Where is the Queen? What have you done with the Queen?!

I like this one from Blue Dragon, but then again I like this type of music.

How about most every Ys song ever composed by Yuzo Koshiro..

I was just thinking about mentioning this series for the thread, every game has top notch tunes!

Ive really enjoyed discovering a lot of the tunes y'all have posted. But there is only one game's battle music that really gets my heart pumping.

FF7 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NfPX-gg2xhk

Maybe its because I am brainwashed after 80 plus hours of listening to it while playing.... but I really do love it.
