Gamer Questions! -23-

[Songbird]

So imagine you could pick a song or songs to be added in a CD that is meant to relax and calm the soul; what would you choose?

Some of mine would be - Take a Break (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ECIbvnZtrNw)- from M&L: Bowser's Inside Story and - Underwater Exploration (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fJOFZyS9nTI&feature=related)- from Super Mario Sunshine.

Doooo dododoo, doooo dododoo (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mX5mycMsH0Q)

[Macacão Sapão]

Febronia (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VsSMBfguQAY&feature=related) from Xenosaga III.

Some pieces from Super Mario Galaxy like Egg Planet (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KRQkqITQ2cU), Wind Garden (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p0Ff06PSNkU) or Purple Comet (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T_KGAWTKFZw).

The Civilization IV medley (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d6GU5fNQq9U) VGL plays is also quite nice.

And pieces like Strange World (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g9WDmodIjB0), from Dragon Quest VIII.

PS: Should the songs be only game-related?

Matoya's Cave (The Black Mages cover)
Breezy from Final Fantasy VIII
Aloha De Chocobo from Final Fantasy IX
Secret Library Daeguerro from Final Fantasy IX
Spring Theme from Harvest Moon: Back To Nature
Goldenrod City National Park Theme from Pokemon Gold/Silver/Crystal


Oh yeah, and maybe the Dead Space Lullaby (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bb4VA1p5KQk) :p

Well the title of the thread is called Gamer Questions which is posted in Video Game Chat so yes only game-related song here. ;)

Here's another one for the list - Vigil (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SmlkXMC2rE0&feature=related) - From Mass Effect.

Edit: I don't if I would recommend the Dead Space Lullaby (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=70VJXhRRVzc) ZanTV, it's a little eerie sounding don't you think?

Similar threads allowed non-game-related, so I find it a legitimate question. "Gamer Questions" doesn't technically imply that the questions are about games, only that they are directed to gamers. Sorry :p

I think I might just split this into categories...

FF:
-see ZanTV's answer-
-all the more obvious ones like Aerith's Theme, Zanarkand, etc.
-Rebel Army (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VnhX5KTpOuA) (FFII)
-Ancient Castle (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6UTFx62k_Qc&feature=related) (FF2)
-Terra (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LlhdZQWmteI) (yes, the FFIX one, although I also like VI's Terra's Theme)
-Rydia (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AknieEWbKEU&feature=related) (FFIV piano collections)
-Besaid (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=izs0vlpBXTs&feature=related) (the FFX-2 version, which, as an exception to most pieces in that game, I actually like better than its X counterpart)
-
Kingdom Hearts:
-Dearly Beloved (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WOJ6bzveAlE) (I like all of them, but I think the Birth by Sleep arrangement is my favorite so far)
-Icing on the Cake (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QUTI4owKmh4) (BBS version)

Pokemon:
-Surfing (any of them really, except maybe D/P/Pt, my least favorite)
-Azalea Town/Blackthorn City (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iRxaxVQo4Vg) (G/S/C, or HG/SS)

I think I'll just stop here for now, even though there are about a billion more songs from various games that would be awesome on a relaxation CD :p

While there are many, many, many pieces that would be very relaxing, a few that came to mind (related to Final Fantasy) would have to be from FFX-2's Piano Collections album. Specifically, "Eternity - Memories of the Lightwaves," "Epilogue - Reunion," and "1000 Words."

The three you mentioned are also some of my favorite pieces from the game, and I love the instrumental and piano versions of "1000 Words" much better than the sung version, which I actually don't like all that much (the singer's voice just annoys me for some reason :p).

[Mutated Waffle]

The Farthest Land (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GxF-9rRtG6c) - Shadow of the Colossus
Dreams of the Shore Near Another World (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MV-FvxoR1PQ) - Chrono Cross
Dire Dire Docks (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uqcPSbkS9TQ) - Super Mario 64
Downstream (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5kflCLshkOg) - Braid

[DancingFlameDragon]

Dire Dire Docks (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uqcPSbkS9TQ) - Super Mario 64
^that.

On the topic of watery locations, how about
Zora's Domain (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oxHUYI-Ow9Q)?

Also, some more I remembered:
Beware the Forest's Mushrooms/Forest Maze (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qLCaigIBELE) - Super Mario RPG
An Adept's Home/Vale (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=voRC-7EoQjU&feature=related)-Golden Sun

LOL :D:D:D my point exactly, there no possible way that ANY music from Dead Space would be the slightest bit relaxing, is there?

Except for one music which was 2 seconds long played after you completed a chapter, but it was more of a relief than relaxation..:p

Okay, that's good to know, I was making sure to see if you're sane. :p

There another little piece to share - Mario's Rainbow Castle (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kxY0gzew40M) - from Mario Party.

[ZanTV]

:D

Music from Plants vs. Zombies also are very enjoyable while being relaxing, 2 for 1 ya?
And the ending theme, Zombies On Your Lawn is just so damn funny! :D
Another song that funny/enjoyable/strangely relaxing would be Still Alive from Portal..or maybe its just me :p
