This thread will deal with something I am very passionate about, video game music. I had already made a "favorite video game soundtracks" thread several months ago, but this is something a little different.
What I want you do to is pick a song (it can be more than one), list the game it came from, give a little background such as where it plays in the game or what character it belongs to if it's a specific character's theme, in case it comes from a game people might not be as familiar with. Then explain why you like the song. Posting a video is not required, but I recommend it so that the rest of us can have a listen.
I'll go first. I have picked "Star Stealing Girl" from Chrono Cross.

This is the theme of Kid, one of the main characters of the game. I think that it fits her character pefectly and I like it because it really touches me emotionally and makes me care more about Kid as a character. In my opinion it is one of the most beautiful songs in the history of games. It's one of those songs where if you're in a depressed mood, you can lie down, close your eyes, listen to it, and suddenly you'll feel a little better. At first I didn't think too much of it, as I don't always pay as much attention to a game's soundtrack the first couple of times I play the game.... but after hearing this song again a few years later, I realized how great it was. Over the years it became one of my favorites. Listen to it multiple times if you didn't like it that much the first time, it's a beautiful song.
I only posted one because I could litterally come up with hundreds of others to post, and I'll probably update this periodically by adding other personal favorites of mine.... but I'd like to see some picks from you guys too.
So what are some songs from video games that you like and why do you like them?
