Top Ten Video Game Character Themes
Jan. 17th, 2011 09:01 pmI only considered character themes from Bahamut Lagoon, Chrono Trigger, Final Fantasy VI to X-2, the Kingdom Hearts series, and the two Tales of Symphonia games because I haven't played many other games with character themes. Those games alone added about 70 songs to my collection of video game music because I had to listen to every single character theme I could think of from those games.
Note: I did not count battle themes like "J-E-N-O-V-A" from Final Fantasy VII or "The Graceful Assassin" from Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories because they play only during those specific battles and do not share leitmotifs with any other songs, so they're more representative of the battle than of the character. I may separately do a Top Ten Battle Themes eventually. (That list would almost certainly contain "J-E-N-O-V-A.")
Also note: I do not know how to talk about music and can't identify instruments well.
