A collection of my favorite videogame music. Note that most of them are from games I played so I might miss some great ones from games I never played.
Playstation 2
Shadow Hearts (2001)
Vitamin Metropolis
Yoshitaka Hirota
This is the most unfitting song for London I have ever heard.
When you listen to all the dark music in this game and then get here, you go...oh THERE'S the guy who made RAINBOW CASTLE IN MARIO PARTY!
This is the most upbeat song in the game (it's for a town). All the other music is more haunting, sad or disturbing. The first Shadow Hearts was an amazing game.
Well that certainly was...peppy.
Man, this takes me back! Yuri has always been one of my favorite lead male protagonist in a video game. Harmonixer ftw!
Shadow Hearts is a mediocre game and you should feel meh about it.
fuck you i'll feel however i want about it.
This is not what I was expecting from the artwork.
Such a great game. I still need to finish Covenant.
Ahhh, do I miss this series. Being such a fan of Shadow Hearts, I just realized I should really play Koudelka, which is partly a prequel on the Playstation. I've heard it's quite different, but anything that's related to this series is good enough for me.
I actually recently tried to play Koudelka since Shadow Hearts 1 and 2 are among my favorite RPGs ever (Love 3 but differently), but Koudelka was kind of hard to get into. It's pretty damn bizarre. Might be worth going through one day though.
@SillyEnglishKaniget Good to know, thanks.
Here is a fun fact if you didn't know already. Halley (The psychic boy who used a slingshot) is the son of two of the lead characters in Koudelka, Koudelka Lasant and Edward Plunkett!
Koudelka has fantastic voice acting and graphics for a PS1 so I'd check it out. It also has a really good storyline too and connects to shadow hearts.
Shadow Hearts 1 and 2 should be played by every JRPG fan. It's turn based but, the story...what can I say?
Not to mention Roger Bacon appears in the game as do the Emigre Manuscript and Monastery.
