CAA: Christian Anime Alliance

So I was hearing screwattack's top ten best video game theme songs ever and I thought hey I should ask everyone what's thier top 10 favorite theme songs. Sadly, i'm in the list of still deciding my own but for sure these are in it.

here is their list

and here is mine

1.Legend of Zelda theme
2. Mario bros- 1st stage
3.Duck Tales for the original nes, specifically "The Moon" stage
4. Boss battle Music from ff7
5. KH1 Opening theme
that's all I got so far

I am Megaman!

I'm Blue and Cyan!!

Oh, geez. I can't order them. I've got:

Legend of Zelda — main theme, and it's various remixes in other games
Super Mario Bros. — main theme
LoZ: Link to the Past — Hyrule Castle theme, and again it's remixes in other games, particularly Wind Waker; also all of the dark world songs, and the light world dungeon music
LoZ: Wind Waker — Molgera Battle, Ocean Battle, Final Battle, main theme and others
Super Metroid — Maridia (lower rocky area)
Chrono Trigger — Main Theme, 600 A.D., Tyrano's Lair, and others
LoZ: Twilight Princess — main theme and others
Donkey Kong Country — Oil Panic
Donkey Kong Country 2 — Bramble Blast
Final Fantasy IV — cave music
Earthbound — primary boss music
LoZ II: Link's Adventure — Great Palace theme (yeah, I'm weird)
SMB3 — water level theme
Timesplitters: Future Perfect — Siberia music
Metroid Prime — Phendrana Drifts
Final Fantasy 7 — I'm not sure what the song is called, but I know which one it is.
Eternal Darkness — the music in that place underneath the desert. It also plays for the end credits.
Mech Warrior 2 — one of the battle themes--I know it's the first one on the disc
Cave Story — Gestation, Moonsong, all the boss battle songs, everything else
Wild Arms — main theme and others
Resident Evil 4 — the creepy castle music

That's more than ten, and it's only what I've thought of so far. I'm sure there are many others.

LOL. I've had that stuck in my head ever since I watched the original a few months back.

"The creation of Doctor Light, or Right if you are from Japan! (Also known as Rockman!)"


EDIT: And on an on-topic note, I have way WAY too many to list. Been gaming for far too long. I'll throw the Last Ninja main theme and the majority of the Last Ninja 2 soundtrack out there, however. I'd be surprised if anyone here remembers those two .

2ND EDIT: Gah! Grammatical errors abound. That's not like me.

I'm partial to 'seeking revenge for a close family member whom was revealed to have been killed at the hands of a primary antagonist prior to the events of the story (Said Antagonist may or may not have six fingers on his right hand).'

Also, I quite enjoyed this theme:
http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=t8NsnLfIAcs

I don't know what I would put on my top 10, but two songs that would be on there would be Godot's theme: Fragrance of Dark Coffee, from Phoenix Wright Trials and Tribulations and the opening theme from Final Fantasy VI, I don't actually remember the name to it though. >.>;;

[SIZE="7"]Yes.[/SIZE]

The world needs more Princess Bride fans. I've met entirely too many people who have never seen that movie.


That said, and to make a post that is not horribly off-topic, "Scars of Time" from Chrono Cross and "Frog's Theme" from Chrono Trigger are both incredible. In fact, the entire soundtracks from those games are amazing. XD Also, I adore "Eyes on Me" from Final Fantasy VIII.

Eyes on me still makes me tear up. I've been working on Jen to let me play that at our reception. There was a girl when I was running Karaoke who would come in and sing that every year. the Opera from FF6 as well.


Edit: Egads, I'm a weepy one aren't I?:shady:

Not in a particular order.

The Legend of Zelda - Theme
Super Mario Bros. - Overworld
Metroid - Brinstar
F-Zero - Mute City
Punch-Out!! - Training
Street Fighter II: The World Warrior - Intro
CastleVania - Vampire Killer
Metal Gear - Theme Of Tara
Mega Man 2 - Intro
Sonic the Hedgehog - Green Hill Zone

I actually think Green Hill Zone is a little overrated. Don't get me wrong, it's a great song and extremely catchy, but I always felt that Scrap Brain Zone's theme and Spring Yard Zone's where much better, but that's just my opinion.

+10 for excellent taste.

Speaking of 'Scars of Time' and 'Frog's Theme', I would say Mitsuda did an equally incredible job with the soundtrack of Xenogears. 'Emotions', 'Flight', 'Wings', 'The Yggdrasil Theme', 'Small Two of Pieces'... really, the whole soundtrack is just full of gems.

That is one game I would recommend 100% if you've never played it. Created by predominately the same team behind Chrono Cross and easily one of my favorite games of all time.

Well, I finally decided to sit down and make my top ten list. I would add commentary for each song, but I'm no good at stuff like that, especially for music >.>;; but I will provide links to Youtube videos so you can listen to them. Also, I stuck to Screw Attack's 1 song per franchise rule, just to make sure I didn't get most of my song's from one game. ;D

10. Stage 1- Ninja Gaiden II http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SC24luXaI_I&feature=related

6. Scrap Brain Zone- Sonic the Hedgehog http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NoVY7nvcel0

5. What the Heck?- Earthworm Jim http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gKovH3YoSzg&feature=related

The Journeyman Project Turbo
Tom Clancy Rainbow Six Series
Sim City 3000
The Legend of the Dragoon
Ridge Racer
System Shock 2

In case you didn't know, the first 30 seconds of that song is from "Night on Bald Mountain", which is featured in Fantasia.

Yeah, I had heard that, but I still love it. It fits the theme of the stage perfectly, and I love how it switches to the elevator sounding music after a short while.

I'm glad to see some fellow Game Music fans here at CAA. here are some of my favorites:

Mega Man 2 - Skull Fortress stages 1 and 2
Mega Man 3 - Title Screen
Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past - The Dark World
Zelda 2 - The Great Palace
Zelda 2 - Palace Theme
Super Mario Bros. 3 - The Final Battle
Legend of Zelda: Links Awakening DX - The Color Dungeon(i think thats the name of the level)
Mega Man 8 - Grenade Man's Stage
Mega Man 8 - Tengu Man's Stage (Sega Saturn)
Mega Man 8 - Search Man's Stage
Mega Man X1 - All Music
Mega Man and Bass - Cold Man's Stage
Street Fighter Alpha - Charlie's Stage
Street Fighter Alpha 2 - Rolento's Stage
Street Fighter Alpha 3 - Vega's(balrog's) Stage

Oooo...

1: My absolute all time favorite is probably either the main theme or the field theme for Legend of Zelda... So hard to choose.
2: Midnas lament is in close second. Call me crazy if you like but any music that sounds sorta epic... i like.
3: In third is all the other LoZ music =P
4: On the route to snowpoint city in pokemon diamond there is a pretty incredible song that i love.
5: The SSBB main theme WAS awesome... Till my little bro started playing it obsessively and i heard it way too much.
6: In Mario galaxy the theme in the star ship observatory and the one in the gate are both pretty awesome.
7: *Is still dancing whenever Mona pizza and Mikes song come on in brawl*
8: The souped up version of Kid Icarus's music in brawl was pretty sweet
9: As was all the music in the summit stage
10: And the Halberd.
11: There is no eleven... MYSTERIOUS!

... There aren't any Ace Combat songs in this thread. Do yourself a favor and listen to these.

1. Ace Combat Zero - Zero: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XKDzOnRydWk Obvious Spanish influence and my absolute favorite. You have to duel to this and it is amazing.
2. Ace Combat 5 - The Unsung War: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3u4YLIacGZo Only the most epic game music evar.
3. Ace Combat 4 - Megalith -Agnus Dei-: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ANT303erhV8&feature=related Also fricking epic.

Those are my Top 3. Otherwise, I don't have any real favorites, simply because I can't find any that even compare to these.

I also love Melodies of Life from Final Fantasy IX. Here's the English version: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ye7BGnlTZmQ

*tries not to cry while listening* ;__;

In classic stuff, pretty much any of the classic megaman or Zelda themes will bring a nostalgic tear to my eye. For the newer stuff, I'm a fan of the scores for the Halo franchise as well as Gears of War. Blue Dragon had a good feel to it as well, recalling in some instances the themes from PS1 era Final Fantasy games or earlier (Gee, I wonder why that is? XD ).

Hmmm. In no particular order and without me thinking about it for hours I'll go with:

01. Kingdom Hearts - Kairi
02. LoZ: The Wind Waker - Main Theme
03. Kingdom Hearts 2 - Passion from the japanese opening
04. The World Ends With You - Twister
05. The opening theme of Sky Gunner. I don't know what it's called.
06. Portal - Still Alive. Would that count as a theme or not?
07. Sonic Adventure 2 - Amy's Theme. This song makes me feel girly tho.
08. Kingdom Heart s - Simple and Clean
09. The World Ends With You - It's So Wonderful
10. Final Fantasy VII - One Winged Angel. I actually prefer the newer version from Advent Children tho.
