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.
SNES
Illusion of Gaia (1993)
In The Earthen Womb
Yasuhiro Kawasaki
Fave song of the game, or ANY game, I'll never forget this melody!
I will never forget being a young lad and letting this song play on repeat. I would stare at the TV during this point in the game and just go "Wow, this music is beautiful". Heavily inspired me as a musician. :)
Sacred sound of the Soul "Music is the best medicine for the Soul, the right song will CURE any DISEASE"
FREE Nintendo Power Explorer Handbook Inside!
I can imagine myself gathering sum life essence by the sound of this melody
I don't know what a Nintendo Power Explorer Handbook is, but I want one.
Hey guys!.. check out my guitar arrangement for this song
This song reminds me of Super Mario 64. It's something about the instruments used. I love this track though.
go eat a big steak and watch sports
Best educational REAL game ever with E.V.O.
This game had a very profound ending too! That's quite uncommon for a game. I mean, there are endings that are great but this had a practical message you could actually take with you in life... fantastic song. Great game.
@Meishali That's it's name in Europe in general, Illusion of Gaia is the american name.
@WillSerenity I used to do the same..... How I miss those times....
@Zylo82 So true! Seeing them all together again in the hallway at school brought a tear to my 15 year-old eye....
@unionofonion till you after the credits it becomes a great ending. sure they dont remember what happen or that they were the best of friends, but some of those kids died. so seeing them all together running in the hallways is an amazing way to end this one fantastic under rated game.
My first rpg ever. Oh Will I miss adventuring with you
Hey Supra, do you know a good remix of the final battle theme ? I found one some years ago but I can't find it anymore, so if you have it or knows its title/artist, please tell me :) thanks !
This game is called "Illusion of Time" in french... How weird ! But I'm glad I found the OST~
Damn. I was going to open it to get the handbook but then I realized it's just an image on the screen.
@SupraDarky agreed mate
Even after all these years later, this song is still amazing and deeply touching in its own right. This song will always get me teary eyed. ;_;
I just don't understand this game, the story is a mess. But it's so fun that you forget about it.
@darkemg Pretty much yeah The youthful gamer: We love happy endingss =D Enix/Quintet: HAH! No good ending for YOU! Feel the bitterness The youthful gamer: D=
Well, the guys at Enix didn't like happy endings, at least for the trilogy Soul Blaze/Illusion of Gaia/Terranigma. (Don't remember about Soul Blaze, but IoG and Terranigma had pretty bitter endings - and Terranigma's ending it's just cruel).
Hamlet!!!
I have beaten this game. One of the best I have played.
The best song in the game was the one from the Sky Garden though
finally! Thank you so much
Man this song brings about how bittersweet the ending too Illusion of Gaia. It tries to be happy but in the end... *wipes away tear* Damn dust in my eye.
I don't hear the Golden Sun in there, but i agree it's an excellent piece of music.
This is pretty illin'. Good choice, Supra. Never got around to this back then; the rental store didn't have great selection.
Epic song, this was what a closing scene should be like.
Ahhh I loved Illusion of Gaia, brings me way back. Terranigma was also amazing...
now that you've brought a tear to my eye with this song, I'm gonna go do something manly
Also I'm noticing some new video options, cool.
I love this track! I used to just let the game sit and let this play when it came on. Think I slept to it once with the system on all night. One of my all time faves. Good choice! ^_^
Perhaps his existence...was an illusion?
Love this game. Definitely a top 10 soundtrack on the SNES.
I always found it strange that Kawasaki composed for this game then basically disappeared. It's too bad!
Eh this game never appealed to me.
