18. Music from a game released the year I was born
"Astral Observatory"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8bFZsek6kSQ

Big fan of Majora's Mask, it's the only Zelda shirt I'll wear lol

8. Shooter
"Untitled"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S_6ChXTP9TA

It's just good lol

11. Puzzle Game
"Tetris Theme"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NmCCQxVBfyM

I love Tetris lol

22. Town Theme
"Peaceful Days"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KDVErwmeecE

Iconic

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).

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.

29. Final Boss Music
"Burn My Dread -Last Battle-"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pGqE_BNSI0Y

Really want to play through FES but this was pretty hype

7. Indie game
"Where Do I Go From Here?"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YiASQortdPA

I got the damn Va-11 achievement for putting one song into that jukebox, guess which one it was

27. Music from a handheld game
"Gentle Rain"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fr4dLANVf9Y

I love the rain, I love mother 3, big feels, here ya go

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.

26. Music you like from a game you haven't played

"Don't Ever Forget"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mH_Zl2Rgl5M

This might ruin me after I beat it lol

25. Music to get you pumped
"Unseen Vortex"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=usjxdiT2Ym4

Going to cheat and put an unreleased song here but it's so good

4. Console Exclusive Series/Game
"You Were There"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bOwreeWIz_A

Beautiful

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.

28. Nostalgic Song
"Crystal Cave"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eKAcfq-pM1A

I was like 9 when I played FF3 which first got me into jrpgs so I mean of course one of the few tracks I'd hear from one of the few areas I could go to would be here lol

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.

24. Music stuck in my head
"Ex Final Boss Theme"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=usjxdiT2Ym4

Usually stuck in my head around when finals happen lol

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.

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

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.

19. Cover of music by a different artist
"Clair de lune"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XbKOxlI5sSs

One of my favorite moments in the game aka yes I do walk at night a lot lol

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.

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

Not only has rock but the opening of this song just has that right amount of ambient horror

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.

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.

21. Frustration Music
"Boss Theme"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7EknTPz1vcM

Sometimes a giant af plane just shows up lol

20. Music from a racing game
"South Yokohama"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jyO9W6snHJU

Listen to this dang ost lol

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.

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.

23. Underrated
"Morning"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FMKA3UFgINY

Grounseed's ost is so good like I don't think I'll ever play it but dang that ost though
