Ive just decided my fave RPG music score...

SUIKODEN 2.
Pure epic, filled with a little epic sauce.
The only RPG with music to make actually feel sad.

This is a pretty sad (and awesome) song, also:


As is this one, from Chrono Chross...my personal favorite "sad" song

Holy sh*t that song sounds amazing.

But I still think overall Xenogears takes the crown. Did you not listen to the music i put up?

I definitely like the nod to Chrono Trigger's music, and I think it's a pretty unique event in JRPG music, when a game manages to draw and build off of elements from an older game, but still manage to find its own style and feel like it isn't a falling-off from the greatness of the first game. (Compared to a series like Final Fantasy, where the musical scores still have their high points like Zanarkand or You're Not Alone, but seem to be getting less consistently great and less important to the game, with each new installment).

Despite the fact that I only played Chrono Cross for the first time a few years ago, I still put the game in my PS2 every once in a while just to hear the opening music. So I'm with you on that one : )

I've played Xenogears (twice); I'd rank it as my 5th maybe 6th best RPG soundtrack. I've played pretty much any RPG you think of, too.

 WTF!! Tell me the rpgs that you think has better music then Xenogears

Phantasy Star 2

Yeaaah i agree with Xenogears having the overall best...

but Suikoden 2 is actually close to my heart, therfore i pick the song i posted

It depends entirely on what you're looking for.

A capable argument could be made for Mother 2 or Mother 3, depending on taste.

Ogre Battle 64: Person of Lordly Caliber is also exquisite, and criminally underappreciated.

We should just change this thread to one where we post random awesome songs from RPG's.

Here's another great one that a lot of you have probably never heard:
