Let this topic be dedicated to either cult classics or unknown hits and their epic music that could literally melt the ears off of lesser beings! Let this topic be dedicated to those games!

First off on the list is the entirety of SMT: Strange Journey.

Yes people, this song is the INTRO song... on a DS VIDEO GAME!!! If a developer ever complains about not having good music on the DS again... I am going to slap them and then show them this music from this game! Here is another one!

Man... this music kicks all sorts of ass! This is just the NORMAL boss theme! Damn...

Now for another game... which the entire damn soundtrack is FUCKING AMAZING!

Nier... No seriously, the entirety of the soundtrack is so fucking awesome that it is amazing that it hasn't been more popular, it actually kinda pisses me off on how ignored it gets! Here is just one of many of the themes!

Again... this is just a random normal boss monster theme... holy shit. Oh... and buy the game guys. It kicks all kinds of ass. Also the game has kinda a bullet hell thing going on which somehow works incredibly well with this kickass music.

Now, moving forward. I will not cry this time, I swear!

OH NOOOO!!!! Dammit tears! Dammit my stupid eyes! Stop crying dammit! To everyone here. Buy this game! Do it... NAAOOOO!!!!

What games that you believe have gone unnoticed that have also had some of the most kick ass songs?

And

So good it apparently also became the intro theme to Tales of Symphonia somehow.

Yes, I mean to include the entirety of the Golden Sun and Lost Age soundtracks.

I haven't played Strange Journey in a couple of years, but I still get the battle theme stuck in my head.

Nier is probably my overall favourite OST of all time.

Terranigma has a fantastic soundtrack. I say overlooked due to it not being released in the US.

Also my obligatory favourite game of all time track.

This one might have only gone overlooked due to a lot of people hating it, but there's no denying it had an incredible OST. Deffo my top final boss music of all time.

@believer258: I would say that neither Nier or Terranigma are traditional JRPG's, or even Dark Chronicle for that matter.

I would also like to add Drakengard 2.

TC, you just made me put Fragile Dreams on my wishlist. Looks like the underground type of game that I can appreciate.

That said, even as someone who played Crisis Core multiple times, I never realized how fantastic that entire soundtrack is until I listened to it again on youtube.

@WilltheMagicAsian: For some odd reason, when I hear that theme, I think of Deadly Premonition... I have no idea why.

Here is some music to it.

That is the best whistle them of all time! Oh, and here is my favorite song in that game!

Awesome them, once it gets to the 1:09 it gets awesomer!

I think the Otogi 2 intro track is pretty good, but I'm super biased, so maybe it's shit. Check it out and decide for yourself.

As much as I love nostalgia my pick is a recent one. The Sword And Sworcery Soundtrack is one of the few soundtracks I regularly listen to. Here's the track I want most people to notice and remember from the soundtrack. So f-ing good.

Anything from the first Mighty Morphin Power Rangers game on the SNES is AMAZING. Some of my favorite nostalgic music, especially when you discount the usuals.

Also notable is some of the music from the Sega CD version of The Terminator. I never played it (learned about it thanks to the AVGN) but it is pretty damn good.

I listen to this song all the time! From Bastion.

Also this, even though I have never gotten to play this game. It is a long shot of a wish to hope the Berserk PS2 game would ever be brought over here.

Crisis Core's soundtrack was really something.  Even as someone that never really listens to video game music, those songs were really something.   
This is another one:  3:45, zomg

The majority of the Red Dead Redemption soundtrack.

It's genre appropriate and excellent but at the same time I've realized its the perfect writing music, quiet enough to be able to concentrate with but awesome enough to be inspirational.

Gitaroo Man is a favorite game of mine, and that was my favorite moment.

The 12 minute+ theme called The Shattering from Cataclysm is maybe my favorite video game music for many years. It's beautiful for a lot of people who have played WoW especially back in vanilla. The piece was written by a musical genius, Russel Brower. If you haven't heard about his three Emmy Awards, you might still have heard his stuff. It's not just video games. Animaniacs and Batman: The Animated Series are two other series he's written for.

Some chiptune prog-rock:

The adventures of Batman & Robin was a pretty shitty game, but the music was absolutely insane:

Fallout 3 radio music, so good!

And from my favourite JRPG since FF IX, the masterpiece Lost Odyssey OST
