I, being a nerd, find myself listening to video game music more often than non-video game music. My current faves are Golden Sun, Final Fantasy (particularly IV-VII) and Castlevania.
IS there anyone else out there like this? Or am I the only one?

[Aquamarine]

Heh, I used to be like that until pretty recently. I still listen to vg music quite often. I don't think there's anything wrong with that though.

[Caael]

Red Alert 3 ftw.

I have no strong affinty for game music, but from time to time there's something I'll hear and look for.

I'm a bit like that now, not as much as I used to. I listen to certain Crisis Core tracks and Dearly Beloved (the KH1 menu theme version) most often.

Have you listened to Dive Into the Heart, Gordo? I always thought that was amazing.

I've gathered at least a gig of music from various soundtracks and game rips, though I'd probably have a lot more if it wasn't chewing up so much of my wimpy hard drive. In particular the complete four-disc original soundtrack of FFX.

I've started syncing them to my Nano once I figured how to take them out of the shuffle rotation. :D

Almost all of the video game tunes that I`ll actually listen to are from RPGs. mario soundtrack fails for listenability. (fake words ftw)

I remember that from the very beginning of KH1 where you're choosing between the sword, shield, or wand/rod (if I'm not mistaken)

Sounds vaguely like church music. It's not bad.

Bionic Commando (NES) and BC:Rearmed, Dishwasher: Dead Samurai, Mass Effect, Banjo series, DMC music, Sonic 3 & Knuckles...

That's all I can get off the top of my head.

I quite enjoy a lot of video game music, but the extent to which I listen to it isn't so grand. I have about 65gb of music and probably less than a gig is from VGs.

[Caael]

Metroid Metal and RA3 is all I have. I used to have loads more but then I met rock.

[Aquamarine]

I wanna play Kingdom Hearts... What's the GBA game like?

[Drizzy Drake]

terrible. really, stay far away from it (stay farther away from the remake on PS2).

[Laharl]

staying away from the franchise altogether is a good bet.

lessee videogame music; the works of Nobuo Uematsu and Motoi Sakuraba are the best in my book

though stuff by Tenpei Sato (most Nippon Ichi games), Shoji Meguro (Shin Megami Tensei), Ken Nakagawa (Atelier Iris) and Miki Higashino (Suikoden) is all awesome too

Button mashing and dungeon crawling. Not worth playing on its own, hell no.

1&2 were funner than reading your posts. That's a win in my boo-- *doesn't finish, because laharl isn't worth the time; instead goes to play kh2, one of the best action rpgs of the last generation*

Indeed, very epic. I listen to all sorts of music, and VG music is definitely one of the many genre's I listen to.
The game lists are ridiculously long. Some of them that I listen to are Chrono Trigger, Sword of Mana for GBA, KH 1 & 2, Castle Crashers (almost all of their music was made from users on Newgrounds), and a bunch of other stuff.
Chrono Trigger is still considered one of the best Soundtracks to a Video Game back in it's prime and today as well.
KH 1 & 2 is definitely considered amazing as well. I have both games and have completed them 100% as far as I know.
