30 Games
1. Title Theme
"The Silver Case - Opening Theme"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NP2Y5HODNNw
A combination of piano and electronic music which are both prevalent throughout the game's soundtrack but with an added guitar rift that gives this the feeling of a crime show opening. The perfect set up to get you imagining and expecting things in this puzzle of a narrative.

2. Opening level theme
"Central Highway"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8F2jf0NRl2Y
Many memories of listening to this in high school while I was playing the game (might be why I went by ChillPenguin at one point ngl).

3. 8-Bit Music
"Micon"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=95PFC_vAJGs
This game's ost is tied with Kirby's Adventure as some of my favorite music on the NES/Famicom currently and for a damn good reason.

5. Overworld Theme
"2D Field"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9sKecYqOX4M
If it wasn't for the fact that this is another song where I listened to it a lot and associate it with a section of my life I probably would just pick soul hackers for a lot of other spots here lol. Listened to this a lot when I started college and I was walking around a giant af place I never went to and hey that's kind of like being in a corrupt cyberpunk city that's changing a lot idk.

6. Relax Music
"Breezy"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gHiHp-xHHgU
I've said it before, Final Fantasy VIII has the chillest towns in the PS1 Final Fantasy games maybe just for how the story plays out but still tracks like this help.

9. Licensed Game
"Berserk Bust Out"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gu3DZD90j6U
Not putting it here cause it's good but I'm already typing out my feelings so I might as well put something nostalgic here. Being a kid and having this weird af techno music playing was hype.

10. RPG Battle Theme
"Heroic Battle"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C2dACYRfv9g
Not only sets a bit of the tone for what makes this different from the first game but god it's just amazing. I hit 0:46 right when I finished a battle one time and having the avatars scream out in victory with their animation was just, perfect, idk I feel things lol

12. Sad Song
(Killer7 Spoilers)
"Dissociative Identity"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qbh0FXaD6_0
The ending cutscene is just burned into my mind and the music melts into it seamlessly, just letting you soak it in.

13. Song I like from a game I don't like
"Large Map"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QOqTgQZBJhk
Say what you will about this game but it at least had small clever ways to shift perspective especially with the music. This sounds like a kid walking around a place he has had to live for all his life.

14. Music with Vocals
"Prelude"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yKhBB2NIiLc
Kind of feel like this almost stretches it and I haven't played this game but let me tell you this song and just seeing/reading/watching stuff about this game gets my imagination going, maybe someday when I feel okay to play an MMO I'll try this. Doesn't help how I heard this from Theatrerhythm as a middle-schooler lol.

15. Boss Battle
"Mid-Boss/Deadline"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8RqBbrlziOo

16. 16-Bit Music
"Celes"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U32g2jp273o
Even before I played through FFVI this was just an emotionally charged song for me but it's perfect for Celes.

17. Music you never get tired of
"Theme of Snatcher 2"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BKo2schZ0T4
A song I got really attached to when I briefly went through Snatcher (before losing my save LMAO) but I keep listening to it and I guess it sort of fits with when this plays in the game. I'm also a sucker for synths.

30. Credits Music
"Devils Never Cry"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xti_6Bzpa8A
Kind of the perfect encapsulation of a lot of picks here, it's something I go back to, it works incredibly well when it plays in the game, and on its own it's a damn good song.
