Classic, although given the specifics of the topic, it would be interesting to know under what circumstances this song became one of your favorites, and most importantly, I am bursting with the question, when and under what circumstances do you listen to it away from the game? :messenger_tears_of_joy:

I think it's an unprecedented milestone, at the time it was unthinkable that Nintendo gave the green light to release this type of game.

Now, yes, it looks strange. Back then, there were different times and different norms, then it was quite normal =)

The first got me good and I'll throw it on occasionally, while the second is what reminds me so much of the whole package, the music and gameplay merging together in what makes the medium so special at times. Just the perfect culmination of the journey and revelations. It honestly stuns me that Yoko Taro hasn't had another big game since then. What a waste. Hopefully he's got something cooking.

Updated the first post, now the full playlist of this topic is available under the spoiler, with the games and song titles. Also, the post numbers are indicated, when you click it, you will immediately be transferred to the post with these tracks. Of course, this will not completely save us from duplicates (and they already exist), but I did everything I could (Duplicates have not been added to the playlist).

Enjoy listening to music, everyone :messenger_horns:

FFXIV has a lot of great songs with vocals








Goddamn the tears at 1 A.M.
Shadowbringers, written by Soken while battling cancer might have been his swan song of saying fuck you to cancer and leaving the world with this gem, but he beat it! Now we have a crescendo of a chef's kiss that was the Act IV highlight showing the FF14 universe the warrior of light was taking the reigns of destiny from the Ascians and handling business. My god what an expansion pack!

Good morning everyone, I updated the playlist in the first post (I will write the date of the update in the list so that it is visible when what was added), new compositions were added to the list.
Looking through the list, I noticed that we somehow modestly touched upon SE, in addition to the quite obvious FF and KH and naturally NieR, they also had other games. Therefore, I decided to add a little from myself, for variety in the portfolio




As a bonus, the main theme from the first game (3DS)

So I was blasting through all of FFXIV from ARR to ShB during the ronies.

And I get into ShB, and experience that scene (iykyk) near the beginning of the expansion then finally get to the hub and that's cool. Wander around a bit and, yup it's a Soken hub theme. Cool cool.
So I do a few missions and trigger
the return of nighttime
Get back in the hub, after having seen some shit, and I'm wandering around, and I'm like huh the music seems a bit different, then out of nowhere this banger:


Stand tall my friend,
may all of the dark deep inside you find light again,
this time, tumbling, turning, we make amends,
eternal winds from the land ascend
here to lift us that we won’t end

Since we've opened the topic of sudden surprises, let's check the age of the audience and knowledge of games of the past.
Imagine the PS2 times (2005), you are still a teenager, or maybe a child, depending on your luck. You bought a new game, you like it by the way, you play it to the end. The screen goes dark, the credits start and suddenly this "shit" drops out of nowhere :messenger_tears_of_joy:

Good morning and good mood to all and most importantly have a good holiday today! As usual I updated the Playlist in the first post with new compositions.
Since we have missed several messages with OST from Gatcha games, I will add Gatcha game that was missed.

I posted almost all the songs from WuWa a little higher, they need to do it more often, they are good at it. Well, and finally someone posted song from Gravity Rush, I didn't want to post it myself, I wanted to wait for the fans, hurray, someone remembered :messenger_blowing_kiss:
