What's your favorite rpg-related music track /vrpg/?
>>3482795No other game has come close to conveying the bittersweet melancholy of Aselia the Spirit of Eternity Sword.https://youtu.be/GATiP9ItL2g>your real family dies>get adopted>adopted parents die>have to work as a teenager to pay the bills to support your little step sister>your future on earth is bleak>get isekaied to fantasy world>immediately captured by people whose language you don't understand>they have your little sister and threaten to kill her if you don't comply>you are now a slave soldier forced to murder and conquer other nations for people you hate>you are bonded with a demon possessed sword that is constantly tempting you to kill everyone you hate>during the course of the war, you kill your best friends, the only people you could really relate to>years pass, the only other people who knew you forget about you, even your sister>you are now all alone and there is no one left to punish you. You will live forever with crushing guilt.What a game. Great SRPG. Also loved Suikoden 1 and Banner Saga 1 for similar heavy bittersweet war vibes, but there is nothing quite like Aselia.
>>3482799>>3482799weebest shit ever lmao>>3482795JRPG often have pretty good music that jsut fall flat for some reason. Like it would be an inch away from greatness but they fuck it up every single time. Maddening really.maybe something from DS3 would be the best if that counts.I'll just post Shiva's theme from SMTV tho, it's not that great in itself but gives a great atmosphere to the fight, especially when the beat drops at Tandava which happens surprisingly often.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NApN0GduuwM

>>3482795BG1-2 (and even ToB, even though it's Inon Zur instead of Michael Hoenig) probably has the highest quality of orchestral works I've heard in a video game; it's on another level compared to the competition. One thing about it I appreciated back then was how taverns being the hub center of every area, they'd each get their own specific, zone related song in BG2. Kinda like how a character gets his own theme in movies. It sets the tone just right.The witcher series (mostly 2 and 3) is a good contender as well. One of the few games where the music track feels tailored to the game's universe rather than just made to fit in any game of the genre.Both have a lot of good titles with very few forgettable ones.

Arcanum
I always knew an extremely bad time was going to follow, once this track started in Wiz 8: https://youtu.be/QeELKYGvqEw
>>3482795hard to narrow em down when there's so many of them but i'll have to go with this.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=faA3IMDbb5Ideep castle is a complete banger too, shimomura didn't skimp on the final parts.>>3483312you should listen to this, best remix of all time.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ln9Sq7IOP3o
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8DmsfYt_-hU
>>3482795Etrian Odyssey has a lot of good music, but the Cloudy Stronghold theme is the one I always come back to. I love how it gradually gets more dramatic as the track goes on. The loop isn't as good as it could be, but that doesn't matter when you rarely hear it loop in-game anyway.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o3Lj1d58WfQ
>>3482799We need another board for the mentally stunted JRPG retards. JRPGs aren't RPGs, you do not belong here anime poster.Here's how actual, quality RPGs handle their soundtrack.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yj_0WFx7rjw

>>3485775For pure ambiance music, Skyrim is much better.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mw9cdV7I-KE
>>3482795Recent one is Arcanum, the music is beautiful
>>3482795Short track from Suikoden 2 purely because of the scene related to it.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kf2qzoJ0HqY
>>3485887I swear it's like that track never lasts long enough to get to the good part.
https://youtu.be/l91rfBdd5SM?feature=sharedDart's theme fr the Legend of Dragoon is one of the most Heroic themes I've ever heard and always gets pumped and lifts my spirits
>>3487660Also known as "track that starts playing when shit becomes serious".
>>3485887Is it just me or did these "low quality shitty MIDI tracks" just sound more interesting and have more character than modern slop for some reason?
>>3487985Yes and no. It's not because they were midi so much but because they were midi the composers needed to make them more memorable with less tools.

Either The Decisive Battle or one of the Chocobo themes.
The only thing Funcom has ever done right was the soundtrack for Age of Conan.
