What is the best video game credits music?

[senbon]

Recently, the one that had the most impact on me is the End of YoRHa variant of Weight of the World from NieR: Automata. It feels so good when the chorus kicks in.
Although, my absolute favourite has got to be the staff roll in DKC: Tropical Freeze. It's a shame the soundtrack isn't for sale anywhere.

Yep. The unmatched, the greatest, the best. Especially noteworthy, since so many tracks throughout the game "foreshadow" the melody of this credits song.

Gotta go with Mass Effect 1 I think.

This right here is one of the best songs I've ever heard period and it singlehandedly convinced me to buy Old Blood eventhough I was not originally interested in it much.

After that, I love Hitman Blood Money:



And of course World in Conflict :)

YES. Gets my vote too!

Count another vote for NieR's Weight of the World. It's sublime.

Not sure if this has been mentioned, but the end credits for the original Thief are pretty bangin. I had this as an MP3 for a while.

 

[KLoWn]

A Link to the Past.

 

[Gaardus]

Gotta be Pokemon RSE. Even with the GBA's lackluster sound hardware, this track absolutely shines.

Spec Ops The Line - Jimi Hendrix 1983

AC4 Black Flag

Knights of the Old Republic

Super Mario Galaxy 2

Mario Kart 8

 

[Stefarno]

I wouldn't say they have the best music, but I absolutely love the credit sequences from the Neptunia games - they basically show a 16-bit version of the game you've just played with several other games recreated with Neptunia characters.

 

[The Almighty Tria]

Valkyrie Profile 2
Super Mario Bros 3
Mega Man 5

[ArchAngel]

Sonic 3 credits is the one I listened to the most.

I prefer ZOE1's ending theme myself

and also

 

[SomaXD]

Not necessarily the best... But i loved Killzone 3 end credits theme/visuals

 

[wondermagenta]

Anyone say Killer7 yet?



SMT IV's credits theme is also fucking haunting:

 

[Nexus2049]

After playing the emotional rollercoaster that is Beyond Two Souls (one of my favs), they hit you with this super depressing version of the theme. Made me think and reflect on what I just played.

 

[SavoyPrime]

The first Mass Effect. Felt epic.
