Best World Map Music

**Hitoshura** · 2009-09-14 05:40

Pretty obscure topic but one thing I notice about JRPG's is that they have the most soothing, awesome, and even catchy world map themes. Post your favorites, it of course isn't limited to RPG's.

^lrn2 youtube tag!

[ youtube ] copy/pasta the numbers after the "v=" [ / youtube ]

Profit?

But yes I can't believe I forgot Emotions, truly one of the best.

Well I can't learn! :<
If I put the whole thing with v= then it's BORKED, when I do only the thing after v= it shows those numbers/letters.

EDIT:
O ok, nvm. Seems I needed to stop at the & sign in the link

Not just JRPGs!

It's been a while since I played it, but I can always remember the title music for Morrowind playing when out and about on the world map.

Awesome... I never finished Chrono Cross, but when I heard this music I just set my controller down for 5 mins and listened.

But the song is only 2:23 long.

**Gokulo** · 2009-09-14 07:11

But it repeats itself in the game? D;

Thread fails for not having the Breath of Fire III world map theme in the original post.

**Yuri-G** · 2009-09-14 11:45

agree with most of the above... VP2: Silmeria's overworld theme is extremely soothing. Terra's Theme is one of the greatest videogame songs ever (and one of the hardest for Nobuo Uematsu to compose).

Black Sigil: one of the few things I liked about this game was the overworld map theme. it's not up on youtube though, as far as I can tell.

Final Fantasy IV:

every Dragon Quest game that hasn't been listed yet - the DQ series tends to have very beautiful and haunting overworld themes. ever since the first one's lonely melody, they just keep getting better.

and... hmm... those are the only ones that instantly come to mind, actually.
