Besaid (FFX) is my favorite game track ever. It's subtly complex. It lulls you into a daze with constants, but varies them in subtle ways (strings, drums, synth) to breathe new life. It is a song that can never be truly remade. Like the ocean, it just undulates. Forever.

The Shadow Temple is not like Ocarina of Time’s other temples. It is not a palace or a place of worship. It is a torture chamber. It is a magnet for the evil of Hyrule’s bloody history, kept out of reach where few can find it. As hero, Link must endure night to witness dawn.

Chrono Cross's Dead Sea is one of the most haunting tracks I've heard in a game. A lone opening piano twists Chrono's iconic major seventh run into something sorrowful and terrifying. A glockenspiel mocks prior innocence. A Green Memory warped into a black nightmare.

Final Fantasy Mystic Quest has some of my favorite symphonic rock in gaming. Dark King is a personal standout. -Foreboding intro -Drops hammer w/ kickin rhythm guitar, melodic strings -Snares, toms, bass fill gaps as layered strings ramp tension -Pure 80s prog rock energy

The bass in FFIV's boss theme isn't filler. It's a story. -Opens with the iconic Final Fantasy battle riff -Keeps beat and fills gaps with a melody of its own -Shifts to another melody as strings swell It's so important, it even plays the melody at the climax:

J-E-N-O-V-A (FFVII) is my favorite alien boss theme. -Opening minor synth arpeggio immediately sets eldritch mood -Heavy synth melody amps up otherworldliness -Oscillating strings and timpani raise stakes, threat level -Sick bass riff anchors everything Love this song.

Stone Tower Temple (MM) might be my favorite Zelda dungeon. A Tower of Babel, it mocks the Goddesses and Triforce. As punishment, light arrows flip its ascent to Heaven into a descent to Hell. The architecture and music also invert, tipping upside-down in stone and percussion.
