FF13 huh, interesting, listening to the music, it doesn't sound bad at all...it's just that I don't have good memories with the game itself...



Fav RPG battle themes? I got 2...

I would include FF13's battle theme, but I hated the combat in that game so much, I am unable to : X

My (locked) thread about how difficulty should be a decision for the developers, not the gamers.

Heartache - Undertale

Uncontrollable - Xenoblade Chronicles X

I'm in that mood right now, it changes depending on what I'm playing :P



I really haven't played RPGs for quite some time, so not much comes to mind. I do remember loving the whole Paper Mario Soundtrack (especially Super Paper Mario's). The soundtrack of the hyperdimension neptunia series is also quite good.

 

I'll probably add more games to the list once I remember them...

Edit:





"Just for comparison Uncharted 4 was 20x bigger than Splatoon 2. This shows the huge difference between Sony's first-party games and Nintendo's first-party games."

Also, in my honest opinion, the standard Battle Theme from FF VIII is much better than the standard Battle Theme from FF VII.

Been playing the hell out of Dark Cloud 2 and I must say that it has my favorite battle music. Every enemy encounter starts the theme. It helps sometimes because I'll not see the enemy but know one is close due to the thematic change.
