So, which games do you think had the best musical scores? What were your favorite tracks? Why do you like them? Don't feel like you have to limit yourselves to one if you can't decide.
My favorite score is that of LUNAR 2: Eternal Blue Complete. I swear, Noriyuki Iwadare is the best composer I've ever heard! He doesn't just write sad songs for sad scenes, or happy songs for happy scenes, he really gets inside the characters' heads and conveys their feelings in a way that actually instills them in the player.
Now my favorite tracks:
"Omni-Zophar"

This is the theme from phase three of the showdown with the main villain. It's ominous as you might expect, but at the same time, you can hear tones of hope and determination. It's my favorite boss theme ever.
"Stardragon"
http://www.quickfilepost.com/download.do?get=439d38f6360209ceed30a023d9a61ad8
This song is played during the final battle of the game's epilogue, when the main character is confronted with a being much greater and far less comprehensible than himself, and yet refuses to back down.
"Dragonmaster Ghaleon"

I suppose I would say this is my favorite track out of all of them. It's the theme for my favorite character, Ghaleon. It's also the only theme I've ever heard that actually summarizes it's subject. It's simply brimming with his arrogance and power and it sets the perfect tone to accompany his imposing presence.
Also of note is a track from LUNAR 1.
"GO! GO! GO!"

This is a very unusual track. It's the endboss theme, but it's not ominous or overbearing, nor is it some overly-intense butt-rock tune. It's more of an upbeat tune that conveys the passion in the heroes' souls, the fire in their hearts and their undying will to overcome all odds. It's the most atypical endboss theme I've ever heard, because it doesn't make you think "Oh God, can I do this," but rather "Oh yeah, let's do this!" It really gets the blood pumping.
Okay, now you guys.
