If you did not include the Disney remixes (which she can only do so much with) it's probably Kingdom Hearts.

I'd say Ys, but either way, it's definitely something from Falcom.

Ace Attorney and Kirby are also solid choices.

As for licensed music, on a personal level Guitar Hero is probably my favorite but the best is probably Grand Theft Auto.

Oh well. Mega Man is certainly a worthy choice too.

... does Trails get better music after FC or something? Because I've only played FC and... yeah, mystified by any hype there.

oh. duh.

In my defense, I will say the two games thing is what helped keep me from thinking of it.

Yeah. FC is definitely the weakest of the Trails OSTs.

Mega Man and Final Fantasy are both acceptable answers.

Gotta give an honorable mention to BlazBlue as well, though, but I know its style isn't for everyone.

It's the worst one, yeah, although it still has one of the best songs in the series (albeit one which is improved in SC).

That said, Ys might be a better answer due to the larger proportion of hype tracks, even if it lacks Trails' highs.

Trails is just all round solid. Most of the songs are at least good to listen on their own, so even if you don't love its more popular themes it has a high baseline. FFX, for example, has a much longer OST with what I hesitate to call filler but don't contribute as much.

FC you've just got like the night theme, the gate theme and celebration (IMO) on this front.

VVVVVV is too short, OTOH, for me to consider a good choice for this distinction, no matter how godly those 10 tracks are.
