It’s got to be Chrono Trigger and Chrono Cross, and really everything by Nobuo Uematsu.
Also you can’t go past Koji Kondo. Ocarina of Time is a great example of how talented he is.
This is going way back, but the 7th Guest soundtrack had lived in my head since the first time I saw the game. Really great atmosphere, equal parts creepy and playful, perfect mood for a haunted mansion filled with puzzles.
The haunted jazz aesthetic of the soundtrack is so enjoyable!
There are so many good game soundtracks listed in this tread!
Here are some of my favorites:
There's this french MMO i played as a kid called Dofus and that soundtrack still hits hard when I listen. I think part of it is nostalgia but also its just so beautiful
TUNIC, FEZ, Nier Automata, Outer Wilds.
I also have a soft spot for Paper Mario and TTYD, those soundtracks are full of bops
Persona 5 Royal. Close 2nd is Nier: Automata. Both amazing OSTs
Check out J-music Ensemble's Persona 5 cover album Metagroove! It's really well made, I couldn't go back to listening the vanilla soundtrack without thinking of it.
P5R had an excellent soundtrack
My main wish after P5R soundtrack was released... is that I wish there was a definitive playlist of the order once both soundtracks are merged. As of right now, there is a set list for P5 and then a separate one for P5R...
Maybe I need to keep looking, or generate it myself (it's harder than it seems though).
