Crowning Music of Awesome

[jgkitarel]

To be honest, I am frankly surprised there there isn't a thread dedicated to this (or at least I can't find one). So, therefore I decided to start one up.

Now, I'll begin this with Aria de Mezzo Carattere from Final Fantast VI (the video doesn't capture the scene, but the music was probably the most epic in the game. It's in two parts.)

Part I:


Part II:


EDIT:

Ooops. Forgot this one. What many consider the FF series Crowning Music of Awesome, One Winged Angel: AC Version (not my favorite) LIVE!!!!

[spudman]

I feel like epic music was discussed SOMEWHERE, but I don't know what thread it might have been.

Anyway, any list of Crowning Music of Awesome must include Ennio Morricone's The Ecstasy of Gold.

Im not one for opera, but I do enjoy classical. This is my all-time favorite. I burn out on most songs in a few weeks from hours of loop replaying, but I have liked this one for years!

[Aldraia Dragonsong]

Aria di Mezzo Carattere?

That was one of my favorite parts of that game.
I submit that song Magnificate used in the Familiar Quest thread for the bonding ritual, also this:

And this one:

[jgkitarel]

Hmm, another from FF. The Dissidia version of Clash on the Big Bridge, one of the few themes from Dissidia which actually managed to be truly better than the original, which was epic to begin with.

I'll leave a comparison. I loved it in the original SNES version and the Dissidia version (which is the third remake of it).

Original (SNES Version):


Dissidia Version:


Also:

From Lufia II: The theme for the Sinistral battles, which was only slightly improved in the DS retread.


And Ar Tonelico II (Which has quite a few, but here is METHOD REPLEKIA, with lyrics.)

I've always found Suteki da ne hauntingly beautiful.



In general, I've also found almost anything done by Yasunori Mitsuda to be awesome, Chrono Cross music especially.











Something about the Asgard theme in Tales of Symphonia has always entranced me...

...I'm so gonna revoke your nerd licenses for not posting these ones up...

I submit that song Magnificate used in the Familiar Quest thread for the bonding ritual [...]

For the record. It is this song:


I'll skip all the monumental choral pieces and game soundtracks and instead link you three songs that I could loop and listen to for hours:

The one that goes well with my interest in history:


The one of the genre I usually don't care for:


The one hilarious cabaret song that probably no one here understands:

Spoilered for size reasons. Suffice it to say, I really like Golden Sun's music. From all three games.

Anything and Everything by John Williams.

[Wittgen]

Golden Sun 3 is already out? I did not know that.

[Chuckg]

"Wind Nocturne", from Lunar: Silver Star Story

[bookworm702]

It's out in Japan. American release is next week. Europe is due to get it in late December.

What? Really!? Already? It's DS right?
To google!

[Farmer_10]

To my eternal shame I never had the opportunity to play gold sun: the lost age. But I loved the first one. This third installment is definitely a must buy for me.

[serbii]

I remember buying one of them, I have both and cant remember which, at the airport on my way to Japan when I was 15 then playing it on my pink GBA on the plane
Ahhh memories.

[Wittgen]

The second one managed to be vastly better than the first one, I think. I highly recommend tracking down a way to play it. You have internet access, so it shouldn't be too hard. You get a boat. And the power to turn into sand. It's pretty awesome.

[MEKristian]

Since I'm now in a position to actually VIEW this topic without it crashing something...

*EMIYA*


...I'm so gonna revoke your nerd licenses for not posting these ones up...

I'll see your Emiya and raise you the Crow's Claw version. AND their version of Light and Darkness.

Now then, this is for more than just VG themes, yes? So I'll add these three and be on my way.


Remix of ALL current Power Rangers opening themes


Kamen Rider Den-O's Opening, Climax Jump

I stand corrected, very corrected.

Good Finds


All I have in reply is this:

Strong the Force is, in this one.

Yarg. Oh Witt, I go to incredible lengths to ah, 'track things down' I've taught myself to use IRC, emule, ftp, html and god knowns what else over the years. Not to mention all the plug ins and sites I know. My brother is in awe.
Trust me, if it's out there, I'll find it.

Though now that you mention it I do feel like playing it again, with a turbo button this time.
To the usual haunts!


Ok, music, what's number 1 on my ipod right now?
I don't know if I posted this before but

I wish, so much, I could find an english chorus of anything as awesome as Nico Nico puts out

Oh damn, the top four songs on my ipod are all vocaloid. Three of them choruses and one an english cover. Damn, this is what happens when your ipod gets reset. I used to have english songs...
Oh dear God I have three versions of Rolling Girl in my top 10

I'll thrown in

Because I love it and think the video is very clever. Proving you can make a good one with a small budget.
Remember the song is called Gravity

I've found myself binging on Globus and E.S. Posthumus lately...

Been listening to a bit of stuff from 'The American Dollar' too.

[gamebrain89]

Ok, The Opened Way definitely deserves to be in here. I still catch myself humming it every few days.

Spoiler: show

I don't know why, but I really like Silent Melody from inFamous.

Since someone was talking classical music,

and one last one, Castle in the Mist. Though all of the music in Ico and Shadow of the Colossus is amazing.

[Calinero]

This one is a bit of a step away from video game songs, but I found it fun...

[Farmer_10]

The lack of love for Phineas and Ferb on this thread is appalling



This is just a sample.

[Magnificate]

Just discovered Horrible Histories. Hilarious song:


That reminded me of far better educational programme with an awesome opening:
