Old topic, I know.

Was just looking around at random videogame stuff and stumbled across the remake of the gameboy title Saga 2 for the DS (it was redubbed Final Fantasy Legend 2 when it was released on the gameboy in the US).

I went to the DS version's official site and was greeted by what has to be one of the most immediately appealing theme songs, videogame or otherwise, that I've ever heard. Seriously.

Beautiful.
I don't know if this remake is ever going to be released in the US, but I want it like crazy now. I'm definitely going to import the soundtrack from PlayAsia, at the very least. I love the song that much.
And I already have plans to snatch up a copy of the original gameboy game when I get the chance. If by chance the remake never makes it here, at least I can play the original (though I hear it's unforgivingly difficult).
The song even sounds good coming from the gameboy version:

Thanks for reviving this, OL!

I just remembered another one I thought was really good. This little number's from the game Speed Devils for Dreamcst:

And this one, while it doesn't really stand out too much, every single time I'm doing something sneaky, or sometimes if I'm walking around the streets in the dark, this song is in my head:

(from Soldier of Fortune II: Double Helix)

Excellent production.

Never played the games and only saw maybe 1 or 2 eps of the anime so forgive if this is not from the game but it's so awesome could not resist.

Also Baten Kaitos and Muramasa.

Just spent almost an hour browsing through this topic again, just listening to almost everything as I went, and I was really surprised that I hadn't posted this already. Especially weird since I actually own the single it comes on (imported it about a year ago).

Might not have been the greatest game in the world, but my favorite part in it was definitely the point where Vincent is ascending to the final boss, and the instrumental version of this song is playing. The music made it much cooler.

And this next one is on the same single, though I'm not sure if it's actually in the game...
I'll include it anyway, though, since it was no doubt commissioned by Square the same as Redemption was. Good song.

I'm SO mad that this game is over, I loved it to death!

^^WOW.

I've been trying not to criticize anyone's posts in this topic, but man, that song is awful. Truly horrible. Those are some of the worst lyrics I've ever heard in a professional song before.
I kind of hope you're joking...

Sounds like the start of a Saturday morning cartoon. Awful.

One that makes me stay on the main menu longer then needed.

I don't think I posted this yet...

Makes me want to replay the game every time I hear it.
Also, want to see the anime whenever it gets released here.

Yeah, the Tales games (in my experience, at least) are always awesome.
I haven't played Versperia yet, but to me Abyss is pretty much the pinnacle of the series. No doubt Graces will be excellent (despite being a Wii title

). One of the only reasons I want a Wii, actually, is to play Symphonia 2.

While I have not played TOS2 it looked awful to me.
TOS was good. Vespera I want to try.
