What is the greatest video game OST of all time? Similarly, who is the best video game music composer?
By what metric?
>>683680260By listening to your heart, anon.
>>683680208I won't say because people might not agree and I don't want to fight with you guys plus I don't want my opinion changed
>>683680208Yakuza 4 and Neo twewy>>683680512Just say it anon, music taste is incredibly subjective.
>>683680208>who is the best video game music composerMe.
>>683680208There is none such.Of my personal preference in most memorable soundtracks (full OSTS) it will be Castlevania SotN, Sonic Adventure, HoMM 3.Of single-track category - Final Fantasy, Kingdom Hearts, Doom (original), Contra, Super Mario Bros.Honorable mention goes for Jeremy Soule and Matt Uelmen (in D1-2 (not LoD) and Torchlight 1-2).There are many great soundtracks, but these i remember better, that any other. I do remember a lot of other good ones, but this are the most memorable.
>>683680971>Jeremy SouleEver listen to the Secret of Evermore OST?
>>683680208NieR (the original PS360 release)
>>683681083No, but i am right now. So far is quite good and had reminded me about Secret of Mana and Kyrandia.
>>683681423Same guy. It’s probably strange if you’ve never played the game, but It fits the atmosphere insanely well.

I'll go with Gareth Coker. Also listening to my fav of him, Ark Survival Evolved, including its DLCs.But yes, please do not forget the absolute legends Jeremy Soule and Jesper Kyd.

>Similarly, who is the best video game music composer?Falcom Sound Team.Shame they stopped crediting their individual composers in the early 90s, so people just kind of guess which member of the sound team composed whatever tracks based on style.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aKSRF2AtdfQhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EceIW-yUiiYhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q0h0_5wiDcAhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CxsxevyPuFU
>>683687331Are there other FF OSTs you enjoy as well?
i don't know what's the "best" because i think that's silly but the boneworks OST is really fucking goodhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j30JBa2exa0&list=PL0SUPYdGkDOuwhmI6X3vFceUWeemSwbjo&index=2it's really good to listen to out of the game and compliments the gameplay really well

>>683681410Most of that OST is just remixes of the same song
Live and Learn is one of the greatest songs of all time
>>683680208Mmmmmmm, Manamiiiiiiiiii
