Ed Bellis' Top 100 Video Game Songs

100. Besaid Island

Game: Final Fantasy X

Composer: Masashi Hamauzu

Soothing and ethereal, almost New Age-y, this is my favorite song from Final Fantasy X. There’s a great piano part with strings through the song, and it definitely gives off the vibe of moving through a deep stream.

99. Scene 7

Game: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2: The Arcade Game

Composer: Konami Sound Team

A pretty intense chiptune, this song plays on the final stage of the game. It’s short but insanely memorable, and it really captures the desperation and intensity of the game’s climax.

98. War Preparation

Game: Muv-Luv Alternative

Composer: Hiriji Anze

This song reminds me of a march, something to be played before a great battle or a grand entrance. It’s intense and fits the title perfectly.
