Board 8 > Tom Tens Day 95: Video game BGM

(+) Yeah! (+)

I am pretty sure I could revise this list a lot if I wanted to put a lot more time into it, but in the interest of this topic going up ever, this is whatcha get. Name recognition helped a lot- there are tons of Umineko and other BGM that probably COULD have made it, but I thought of other ones first because I knew their names offhand (and then there's Ar Tonelico's rep- YOU try figuring out what an Ar Tonelico song is called when you don't even remember the name of the location >_>). Tough one, man.

HM's include a lot of Umineko, Persona, Undertale, Pokemon, Mario, Harvest Moon 64, and Touhou music, anything from the Ar Tonelico series, Suteki da ne, some Vib-Ribbon stuff...too much stuff to list. I didn't think I was that into BGM until I tried narrowing this down to 10 >_>

Welcome to the Tom 10 project, where I do a top 10, and you vote on your favorite! Ground rules:
-No stuffing or other jerkiness
-Polls last at least 24 hours, and will be started and closed at my convenience.
-Nominations are welcomed, but I will veto anything I don't know well or that somehow doesn't fit with my other ideas. Or if I just don't feel like if for whatever reason.
-Feel free to gripe about snubs, but don't expect me to change the poll or results unless it's something I legit forgot.
-These are my top 10's, and they're roughly in order on the poll. I won't vote, but I will break ties.
-Help bump please?
-This is not a super serious project and I don't want drama.

I feel like I should ignore the ar tonelico one unless somebody can provide a name >_>
---

man I shoulda known you'd have that thanks :D

Night of Nights isn't even from a video game, right? I thought it was just a remix of something from Touhou by Beatmario...

you may be right
---

Well, those are...those are certainly some choices, all right.

In the context of playing the game, I always thought the original was a bit too repetitive >_>

I could easily vote Together we Ride or Hope and Dreams. Not my direct favorites from either, and probably at best top 50 for BGM, but they're still that.

I personally like FE4's recruitment song better than FE7's (which was remade for 8, but isn't that good), and Also Knight's Vow (the later recruitment music for FE7) more than TwR as well. Just to say a few things.
