I love soundtracks with vocals. What are the best?

[Deleted member 2834]

Let's start with the best right away:



Good as well, although not quite the GOAT:

Persona 3 - When the Moon's Reaching out to Stars

Nier Automata - City Ruins

Both Nier games as well as Persona 3 and 4 are littered with similarly good tracks but I think that should do for a start. I wish more video games had vocals on their soundtracks. Any games you can recommend?

 

[--R]

This along with Persona takes the cake.

 

[Minako]

I came here to say Persona but you got that covered haha. I can't think of that many games which have prominent vocals in the background music.

 

[HOTSPUR]

Personal favorite: metal gear rising

 

[Deleted member 4037]

Persona is the easy answer here, 3, 4 and 5 all have awesome vocal tracks. OP is on point

 

[Deleted member 9971]

Splatoon, all of em. My favs are Tidal Rush, Color Pulse, Ebb and Flow, Spicy and regular Calamari Inkantation.

Metal Gear Solid franchise also has quite the nice vocal tracks. And there is Rising too:P

Kingdom Hearts Sanctuary = OMG
Imperial Tower from Sonic Forces is quite naice too.

Sanctuary KH

Oh almost forget but Nier: Automata is quite awesome too vocal music wise. Shame on me for forgetting :P

THIS CANNOT CONTINUE!
BECOME AS GODS!

Edit: and Xenoblade 2 ofcourse :p

 

[Crayon]

Og katamari.

 

[galv]

Came in here to say Persona. But I'll leave with this:

 

[Lynchian Anomaly]

If you like Nier's OST you might enjoy El Shaddai.

 

[OniBaka]

House in Fata Morgana has amazing ost.

 

[Xtortion]

Sonic Forces

 

[Yellow13]

It's a shame how they wasted it on that mission tbh

 

[Vadara]

Madworld, Max Anarchy...actually a shitload of Platinum Games games. Those guys love to grab tiny unknown English artists and make great songs with them.

 

[Deleted member 35011]

I've always been a huge fan of Pyre's Vagrant Song:



On the opposite end of the emotional spectrum, Rules of Nature gets me hilariously pumped up about mashing buttons.

 

[SideMatt]

Xenoblade Chronicles X. That shit is great. I will never not die on this hill.

 

[Dunban]

Came to say Nier, but... well.

Bound by Flame is another good one, and quite overlooked.

 

[Maxina]

Anything bloodborne:

 

[Sylvalum]

Edit: Nice catch, SideMatt, haha.

 

[Brix]

Persona 5

 

[Turtleboats]

Bastion - Zia's theme


The 90s in one video.

 

[Loxley]

 

[Rendering...]

Personal favorite: metal gear rising

Between this and NieR + Automata, you're set.

I like the music of the Silent Hill series too, but it's not on the same level as those others.

 

[hlhbk]

There aren't words per say but the opening song of Panzer Dragoon Saga has some amazing vocals:

 

[Force_XXI]

 

[WarAdept]

 

[asmith906]

Anything silent hill

I really like Hell Frozen Rain



Also Soul Sacrifice has great music

 

[Deleted member 249]

Persona 3, 4, and 5

 

[Deleted member 33533]

Xenoblade Chronicles X and Final Fantasy XIII-2

 

[ILikeFeet]

Platinum Games double header

Mad World


Anarchy Reigns

 

[butman]

Goat

 

[Damn Silly]

It's probably actually something from Sonic. So many potential choices.



Amongst the likes of Open Your Heart, E.G.G.M.A.N, A Ghost Pumpkin's Soup and plenty more. And that's only from two of the games.

 

[WarAdept]

 

[Force_XXI]

the one true feels goat T-T 7

 

[Ostinatto]

 

[Man-is-Obsolete]

Made up language but still really great.

 

[retroman]

 

[Cort]

 

[PSqueak]

The Mother soundtrack will always have a place on my heart

Im specially very fond of these 2:

 

[Metto]

Gonna give more love to Xenoblade beyond X
