Best music you've ever heard in a game series?

[LooK iTz Jinjo]

Final Fantasy series, Halo (No I'm not a fanboy), Legend of Zelda (mainly Ocarina), Mass Effect and Bioshock.

F Zero X had the best soundtrack of any game ever, end of story.

 

[BennoVonArchimboldi]

Red Dead Redemption has some great music, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City has some fantastic music.

My favourite at the moment is probably Downstream by Shira Kammen, from Braid.

Final Fantasy Music, Especially what the Black Mages do:

Halo comes up pretty quickly, it's gotta be one of few games I bought the soundtrack for (well Halo 2 actually).

Failing that, the Turrican series, which I also bought the soundtrack for.

Oh yeah, and Umineko no Naku Koro ni. I've got my playlist down to my 50 favourite tracks.
50. Favourite. Tracks.

There you have it.

EDIT: Oh and Aquaria. I listened to the music from that for like a month, non-stop. Also it helped me study, since there were no lyrics.

World of Goo, 2 guys gathered a dozen random musicians from off the street and put them in a circle around a single microphone in their apartment. It turned out to be in my opinion one of the most creative and awesome video game soundtracks of all time. The game itself is pure awesome as well.

Spoiler: I forgot about this one.

I think Sonic 3 has the best soundtrack of the series. I love me some Ice Cap Zone...

I also love the music from Battlefield 2. One of my favourite iTunes purchases.

[Onyx Oblivion]

The Blazblue OST.

BANG BANG BANG BANG!

OT:

Chrono Cross is the best OST ever. FACT. Combined with Trigger, it's an unstoppable combo.

 

[chainer1216]

the .hack// series of video games (the first slightly more than the second) has amazing music, it was the first and basically only time i went out and get the soundtrack to a game, legally even!

 

[Pseudopod]

The winner for me by far is the Katamari series. Each game's soundtrack is quirky, varied, and it always cheers me up to listen to the soundtracks outside of the game.

There's loads of honorable mentions, though. I also love the soundtracks to Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Gitaroo Man, Vib Ribbon, Okami, the SMT: Persona series, the Metroid Prime series, Shadow of the Colossus, and quite a few more.

 

[Dark Prophet]

Half-Life
Silent Hill
S.T.A.L.K.E.R.

World of Goo.

Spoiler: VVVVVV: Predestined Fate

 

[Truniron]

My favorites must be:

Terra's Theme (Final Fantasy VI)

Father and Son (Metl Gear Solid 4 GotP)

The best is yet to come (Metal Gear Solid)

Grand Cross (Final Fantasy IX)

Demise of the Ritual (Shadow of the Colossus)

Oblivion's Joy and The Reincarnation of the Devil (Valkyrie profile Lenneth)

Final Rival (Pokemon Red/Blue/Yellow)

Judgement Day (Final Fantasy VII)

...and many more

Final Fantasy has always done music well
and in my eyes especially FF7
it's library was spectacularly atmospheric and perfect

 

[sageoftruth]

Odin Sphere had some good soundtracks. I sat through the entire ending credits because the music was so beautiful. I also avoided conversations with NPCs between stages since that dimmed the volume of the music.

 

[Fledge]

Is it odd that I came across this thread while listening to the Theme of FFVII?

 

[York_Beckett]

I really loved the Alan Wake soundtrack, as well as the amazing ambience of Silent Hill 2. As for other games, Half-Life 2 has some great music.
And, surprisingly enough: Terminator Salvation. The game was mediocre, but the music was pretty awesome.

 

[TomLikesGuitar]

Gerudo Valley in OoT has the coolest song ever.
