nothing leaves a first impression like
an epic theme song to get the blood
pumping welcome to watchmojo.com and
today we’ll be counting down our picks
for the top 10 RPG theme songs
for this list we’re looking at main
themes used in RPGs that capture the
essence of the game they sound epic they
match the game setting and they may
bring a tear to your eye when you hear
them again
we’re only looking at main themes here
so one winged angel from ff7 is
unfortunately not eligible
number 10 the Old Republic theme Star
Wars Knights of the Old Republic
when Bioware offered us the chance to
explore the galaxy in search of the star
Forge Jeremy Soule rose to the occasion
to give us this out-of-this-world piece
of theme music
this orchestral theme that you start to
hear as soon as you load up the game
totally feels like it could have come
straight from the movies
it is the perfect Dean to prepare you
for what is arguably the best Star Wars
game ever and an unforgettable trek into
space number nine labarie Fatali Final
Fantasy 8
yeah you just totally got goosebumps
didn’t you this list would be nothing
without some of Nobuo Uematsu’s music
and labarie Fatali is one of the most
magical opening themes the series has
ever had and they’ve had a lot about the
openings
you’ve got haunting Latin choirs and
frantic strings set against a whirlwind
of beautifully rendered scenes priming
the player for the best love story ever
told in a Final Fantasy game um well
sort of either way better than twilight
number 8 Tristram Diablo
while you could argue that this is just
the town theme and not the main theme of
the game this is the track that everyone
thinks of when they think of the first
Diablo a good piece of music will tell a
story and Tristram does just that
unfortunately it’s not a happy story
it’s the tale of a bleak little village
that’s seen its fair share of hardships
people disappearing creepy cathedrals
filled with nightmarish creatures oh and
the Lord of terror hanging out deep
underground in the pizza hell
it’s amazing how perfectly the music
sets the mood even if that mood is one
of utter despair
number seven simple and clean orchestral
version Kingdom Hearts
when Kingdom Hearts came onto the scene
in 2002 dazzling everyone with its novel
idea of combining the best of Western
animation and Japanese gaming it only
made sense to bring over one of Japan’s
most famous bilingual musical artists
who tada Hikaru
but even if you’re focusing on just the
orchestral version simple and clean
captures the grandeur and adventure of
the Disney Universe perfectly with just
a little bit of that JRPG goodness
thrown in for good measure
number six theme X Xenoblade Chronicles
X
even if it’s not out in North America
just yet we’re already salivating over
every bit of Xenoblade Chronicles X
including the absolutely stunning theme
song composed by Hiroyuki sawano of
attack on Titan Fame
starting off slow mysteriously and
slowly ramping up the emotional
intensity we don’t even need to play the
game to know that we’re in for a hell of
a ride
as a spiritual successor to the Wiis
grandest RPG experience everyone’s hopes
are really high for Chronicles X and can
you really blame them the music alone
promises an unforgettable adventure
number five suicide mission Mass Effect
2
one of the most epic sequences in RPG
history totally deserves an equally epic
theme it’s the final showdown with the
collectors and every decision you’ve
made throughout the game has led to this
moment it’s a literal matter of life and
death
the track is ambient and dark perfectly
matching the heavy tone of the mission
what more can you expect from a game
that asks you not just to save the world
but the entire galaxy
number four into the wilderness Wild
Arms
Wild Arms is a gem of an RPG found on
the PlayStation loved for its Wild West
inspired setting
it’s main theme’ totally embodies that
motif and wouldn’t sound out of place in
the old western film
the game has a ton of catchy tunes but
the opening theme really captures the
soul of this fantasy / cowboy hybrid
it starts out lonely and a little
melancholic before picking up the pace
and promising an adventure for the ages
number three main theme they use ex
it’s not all swords and sorcery in the
RPG front they use X is here to remind
us that cyberpunk has its place too and
it sends this message loud and clear
with it’s thrilling main theme
it perfectly fits the gritty dystopian
world of Deus Ex a world full of secret
societies nano viruses and cyborgs this
track synthesizes everything that’s cool
about the series crafting a sense of
intrigue as you plunge into the deep
branching world of JC Denton number two
x scar Chrono Cross
the anticipated sequel to Chrono Trigger
might not have lived up to the originals
high standards but the music is a
different story
the game’s opening besides showing off
some of the flashiest graphics on the
PlayStation has one of the most
breathtaking feeds
with a diverse range of instruments and
emotional melody and a sweeping
execution that leaves you with chills
between this and the main theme to
Chrono Trigger the chrono series has two
for two when it comes to epic openers
before we reveal our top pick here are a
few honorable mentions
you
number one Dragonborn Skyrim
that ominous chanting the otherworldly
language that slow crescendo let’s not
beat around the bush Skyrim is one of
the most epic RPGs ever
it’s no simple task capturing the spirit
of an Elder Scrolls game the vast world
the thrilling battles the endless
potential for adventure but Jeremy souls
done it time and time again from the
narrow bar rising to the reign of the
septums to this one Dragonborn
we can’t think of a better theme to be
playing while saving Skyrim from massive
fire-breathing lizards and we can’t
think of a better track to crown as
number one do you agree with our list it
was terrible
we were scattered did we leave out any
tracks that really got your heart going
did you get tired of the word epic by
the end of this video for more brilliant
