30 Best PlayStation One Soundtracks - PS One [PSX] Music Tribute

[@strafeson]

Ah, the PlayStation Era. When game composers had just enough to work with to create memorable melodic masterpieces, but not so much that they got lost in forgettable orchestral arrangements.

[@MBison-im2qy]

hahaa I had the exact same thought

[@zzz43344]

Yup!

[@bpmotard1458]

I mean, a lot of them are forgettable but there are still some good OST, Ni no Kuni comes to mind :)

[@NounOzlos]

@@bpmotard1458 I mean, you can't really go wrong with Hisaishi Joe composing your game soundtrack.

[@valdvald5896]

That is a beautiful sentence that catches the zeitgeist so well

[@Aschenbecherrr]

The Legend of Dragoon - one of the most underrated games EVER

[@raimoon349]

I played it.. the game good..but boring mid way..

[@BlairSantos]

Yeassss

[@brunomelo4415]

I liked this game too, I think he doesnt have the famous he diserves

[@LITTLE1994]

Yes. But such a shame I never owned this game...

[@m_5373]

I love this game!

[@Dave96939]

PS1 seems to have the best music of any console, anyone else feel that way?

[@barretwallace9806]

Thank you for including the names of the artists. So many VGM lists fail to do so, which I think is quite rude

[@yudontsay]

Final Fantasy IX..... the memories.... I love this melody so much

[@DandyCandy1]

As soon as I heard "You're not alone" being the first track, I immediately knew the rest of the video would be great as well :D

[@Oakshield2]

word

[@Pbmarron]

Aahh! My memories of being 9 years old in 1998 are flooding back to me!

[@miamimagicians]

I was 14 it was a great time to be alive

[@AriochStarr]

I grew up with the Playstation One. I love everything about it, especially the soundtracks. I've never even heard of these games before, but these soundtracks you've shared are... nothing more than masterpieces. I can't thank you enough for sharing them. On a side note, the games I own from this list: Metal Gear Solid Die Hard Trilogy Silent Hill Alien Trilogy Tomb Raider

[@aultinbarltino]

gotta say, for a ps1 game, ff9 looks beautiful :D

[@franciscoc1654]

Indeed, it is a masterpiece

[@disputionOFdeathkeep]

SQUARE will never be the same again.

[@swordoflorn]

disputionOFdeathkeep Square was golden. Ever since they merged with Enix, though, the company's become a rusty pile of hooey.

[@TheGoldenPS1]

+swordoflorn Same can be said about namco, ever since they merged with Bandai they have become lazy and too safe.

[@carloslarareyes5205]

Because now are Square - Enix

[@BigBNeey]

the fusion destroyed everything :(

[@alexandragladysh3874]

I don't agree, SE had tons of great soulful games in their early era - KH2, TWEWY, Valkyrie Profile 2

[@JimsReviewRoom]

Working at 2pm and falling alseep. Put this on and damn, got me motivated, grinding, and producing. Might go work out tonight too.

[@charliegrady8871]

i bet he didnt work out

[@cloudtx]

The original PlayStation simply had the best OSTs of any console. So many amazing compositions in so many different genres. You get a kickass, memorable OST anywhere you look: RPG, Horror, Action, racing, air combat, stealth and so on. Long live PlayStation!.

[@cocobos]

musics were simple back then and mesmerizing

[@zzz43344]

No argument here!

[@aoeu256]

SNES was really good too...

[@ElBandito]

@@aoeu256 SNES had nothing on the Genesis. :D

[@malozez]

I wasn't even born when these games came out but still they sound so nostalgic

[@ProductionLG]

Maa sta ti to Engleski 😂 brat balkanac !

[@AbdullahQumper]

I played most of these games... good old days, that never comes back :((((

[@MGSDude01]

I freakin' love the Gran Turismo, Final Fantasy, Ace Combat, and Metal Gear Solid soundtracks!

[@MBison-im2qy]

Parasite Eve gives me shivers, ooooooo, it makes my feet tickle

[@davidjskelet]

Die Hard Trilogy: Reception, Garage, Harlem, Construction, Dulles Airport, Church. Castlevania: Symphony of the Night: Dracula's Castle, Lost Painting and Prologue.

[@tropkewl1035]

I played Wild Arms a long time ago... heard the music... I cried. Thanks dude for this awesome selection.

[@theosr93]

Grandia bruh. I miss Sue. Remember when she's sick and leaving the adventure was so sad.

[@MenfisRetroSpace]

Please never stop!!! Keep up loading videos! ❤

[@TheGoldenPS1]

Die Hard Trilogy. Great memories! Back then when western composers could still make some memorable music.

[@hariv5664]

PS2 was my life. But now I feel like I have to play the PS1 too... these beautiful soundtracks... damn.... how beautiful!

[@LITTLE1994]

The original PlayStation was my first of Sony's series. Those were fun times. I had a N64, too, but I still remembered PS1 sold games so hard, then. It's games such as Gran Turismo or FF7 definitely had some great music.

[@gavinpeters9531]

wild arms is still stuck in my head, not just the theme/title song either! hugely underrated game and soundtrack!

[@BrianMccarthy10]

Maravilhoso, quase choro... que tempo bom que infelizmente não volta mais

[@ICEMANAustralia]

My childhood in 57 minutes or less.

[@champinatorr]

+❄ICEMAN❄ ps1 best console so far

[@lordjavathe3rd]

Were you in a coma?

[@DJ-Krimson-Steele]

If I were to play a drinking game for every time someone bragged about certain things reminding them of their childhood on the internet, I'd die from alcohol poisoning. Or at the very least, shit out my spleen.

[@UltimoGames]

games back then were so FRESH! I was fresh too! Nice music compilation and footage!

[@klaudkil]

Thank you dad for buying the ps1 and so many amazing games like ff 7,8,9 breath of fire3, alundra, warhammer dark omen, diablo. Gaming has changed my life and i would be empty without it.

[@AshCrimsom]

ahh xenogears, persona 2, vagrant story... true games for the aching real rpg gamers... the memories

[@KiraSamaGaming]

AshCrimsom FF9

[@gamerex9378]

AshCrimsom All these years. Ive always ment to play Xenogears. Ive heard good things.

[@AshCrimsom]

sir, u wont regret it, i think xenogears is the best futuristic RPG by damn far, long game awesome story, cool fights and characters etc

[@ozmega]

play grandia if u havent, thats a really great game.

[@stopthrm]

If you blast Aerith's Theme, its almost like a form of psychological torture.

[@Syke1337]

It's so weird to realize that we were basically raised on Drum & Bass. I didn't even know what the name of this genre was as a kid, I just called it "game music"

[@omega_tm851]

This makes me wish I could play some of these games for the first time again

[@garikfamous3781]

Прекрасная музыка из моего детства.

[@SuperBayanBabayan]

[@jasonelwoodhanna8021]

Thanks for this brought a tear to my eye not sure if any era of games will ever match the 90s. When i heard parasite eve i went ohhhh shittttt ! Missing soul blade however.

[@anthonyfolliot8634]

omg parasite Eve. ..!

[@Tombbistol]

This is why even I have both consoles ps always remain a special place in my heart ,these games are part of my childhood , even the good old ps1 logo warms my heart!

THANK YOU FOR INCLUDING SYPHON FILTER !!!

[@installtekzdotcom9777]

Thanks :) ideal for retropie background music

[@Crylhound]

Symphony of the night has the best OST of any psx game

[@sgtpepper91]

einhander. gg.

[@gypate74]

Best of all times imo

[@Sears2022]

Maybe the best of any console

[@LoafingtonBloke]

3. Crash main theme 2. Jet stingray Megaman x4 1. Dracula's castle, symphony of the night.

[@PrincessUndertaker]

@ 35:22 Oh Yeah! Tomb Raider Baby! I Love the Theme song of the Game :)

[@Torikan]

+PrincessUndertaker That song sums up what I felt that game was about so well. Def one of the best PS1 tracks out there. :D

[@azrahanukic2630]

+PrincessUndertaker I LOVE ALL TOMB RAIDER GAMES BUT THIS THEME IS THE BEST

[@-Constrick-]

So glad to hear Guilty Gear here.

[@CSHummer]

Man the ps1 soundchip really made some great sounding midi... and so many great composers making baller tracks for this console.

[@miditemplate4011]

How to recognize if ps1 running midi at the time: Take out the disc, if the music is still running, that's a midi. But ps1's midi is different format and a little more weighty.

[@ArturLapurinsh]

Автор ещё и русский к тому же,спасибо чувак - музыка с первой соньки вызывает у меня самые тёплые ностальгические чувства)) Прогуливали с другом уроки в 1997-98 годах в 10-11 классах....и у меня дома рубились в Soul Edge,Twisted Metal 2, Tekken 2,Tomb Raider 1 и Resident Evil 1-2....музыка самая классная была именно на первой PS.Спасибо)

[@feriante777]

check this: soul blade intro, tekken 2 intro.

[@dgtamer43yt]

Oh man.. as soon as I heard You Are Not Alone, the feels suddenly come rushing through. Oh Zidane..

[@JackingPort]

Eyes off the screen i took it as a Blind Test ♡ how enjoyable ♡♡♡ thanks for the video ! ☆

[@Rickzoor]

This popped up as a suggestied video for me, I thought to myself "Might as well, its quiet, and maybe my favourite is in it?" LITERALLY the first song is my song

[@iwakurawoof]

everything was fine until Aerith's Theme came on :'( the feels

[@stopthrm]

Not gonna lie, when I played this game as a teenager I cried like a sissy girl when that scene happened. Still get a little choked up.

[@Deception2000]

This may deserve a part 2

[@carlosporto7697]

Top 30 - The best of my childhood. And missing a lot of my favorites in PS1.

[@jiraiya0698]

The console was so good with JRPG that even the racing games sounded like JRPG 43:54

[@ImmaKlonoa]

I knew Fire Youngman would be here. You couldn't have a list of best PS1 soundtrack without it.

[@CimmerianShiro]

How can you forget Vigilante 8, had some of the best tunes on psx to date!

[@sorrowinthewind4258]

Wild Arms

[@abrahampurnomo7363]

Suikoden 1&2 , legend of legaia, legend of mana, ff tactic, , but thx for nostalgic memories hehehe

[@VenCorbin]

IMHO there are still a lot of classics missing and id be happy to work out a list if you ever wanna make a sequel to this. this is probably one of the best PS1 Music Videos I have seen on youtube and I love the quality. good job.

[@Jumpernot]

Hi Scott, i'm in the middle of building a playlist / compilation. I would like to create a journey through growing up as a 90s gamer. I want to add lot's of different songs from different games. Currently i'm just starting out, i'm, gonna make a short and sharp one as a tester, then go onto, RPG focused ones, maybe Snes focused, or newer ones. I don't know, definitely would want a tear jerker and sad one as I'm currently just grabbing 1 song from most games, but I only want to do about 20 games for starters, and picking just 20 games and 1 song from each game is a nightmare, but I have to start somewhere. You seem like you know your stuff, so be happy to welcome any advice from you about what tracks I could add :) thanks!

[@alex.starostin]

Nice compilation, but a lot of great tunes are missing, you could easily do 30 More Great PS1 music

[@aleandrian]

00:00 You started with my favorite....

[@TonyTheTGR]

How is Soul Blade not here? That is criminal.

[@jasonelwoodhanna8021]

Thats facts!

[@Gabe-_-Logan-_-24]

I'm a massive fan of Syphon Filter, Resi, Silent Hill and Medal of Honor franchise and nice video but I really missed *Tenchu* And u shoulda put tracks from Resi 3 too.

[@GABRIEL1030]

Excellent selection O-O

[@desejosupremo5909]

tinha que ser a primeira musica de final fantasy ix quando lembro de play one, lembro desse jogo ah que tempo

54:35 Well did you exepct anything less for me to make an appearance in the end?

[@ArturLapurinsh]

Tekken 3 - Nobuyoshi Sano - Yoshimitsu a way better than Tekken 3 - Keiichi Okabe - Jin Kazama Jet Moto 2 - Pinnacle Music Group - Alpine lookes like Soundtrack from the movie The Rock (1996) composed by Nick Glennie-Smith and Hans Zimmer And Where is Soul Edge / Blade soundtracks ?? Soul Edge Original Soundtrack - Khan Super Session - One of the best soundtrack of all time. Thank you for this music - Big Fan of games soundtracks here ;)

[@dcb99filmz]

it's missing some Klonoa songs,but with some other songs thrown in i think this vid has its share of namco music. it's also missing X's intro stage from X4,but again,X vs Zero was great too. kudos for including Drac's castle as grand finale.

[@nicoyugi]

10:30 best PSX game EVER !!!!!! :D

[@lordjavathe3rd]

Where the FUCK is Valkyrie Profile?!

[@coreywilson3493]

Good job, especially on the choice of X Vs Zero from MMX5, and of course Into the Wilderness from Wild Arms. Oh, and of course representing old school survival horror with RE2 and Parasite Eve, I DEFINITELY approve. I plan to share the knowledge of these great old games with my children and with theirs. I must confess, I personally would have chosen Liberi Fatalis or The Extreme for FFVIII instead of Man with the Machine Gun. Don't get me wrong, I liked Laguna, but I didn't care much for his battle theme. Also, great choice for Legend of Dragoon. I always liked Dart as a character, and his theme just added to his character so very much, but Boss battle 1 or 3 would have also been good choices for that game. Also, a few additional choices I personally feel deserve to be added to a 50 best: Shudder from Einhander, Far Into the Sky (or The Musashi Legend) from Brave Fencer Musashi, just about any of the pirate battle themes from Megaman Legends, the theme from the battle with Sera on Megaman Legends 2, The Final Battle with Sigma on Megaman X6 (which was supposed to be the last one), The first mission theme on Strider 2, and so many more. PS1 had some GREAT soundtracks, and I feel that 30 is nowhere near enough to accurately describe how much awesome game music there was.

[@roymozita39]

Great video dude :D Almost every song reminds me of my childhood XD but i was hoping to see the opening from Eternal eyes :C

[@shenloken2]

This list demands a Part 2! And it’s gotta cover Crash Bandicoot music as well xD

[@jamesgriffin7962]

And Spyro as well please

[@minilabyrinth]

37:05 sounds strikingly similar to Destiny's in orbit music!

[@Rilyn666]

Wow got me right in the feels here....

[@JamesA4]

This is still my favourite PS1 playlist. 💙

[@davidgill7412]

Mine too. It's a great selection.

[@qefyr]

Shit playlist, No FF7, no Vigilant, No TM2.

[@GardenCelluloids]

X Vs Zero is top tier PS1 music. Change my mind.

[@lapzidorus1786]

It's top tier BOSS music! Packed with the right amount of energy, tension, and emotion, it's the perfect music to play over such a significant battle.

[@OiCCaboose]

18:00 --- yes.... I remember this so well... I remember my parents playing this game so many times through and hearing that music...

[@khadijahal-jabri6158]

Reading this comment made me smile. I have a little girl who is crazy about VGs, particularly JRPGs, thanks to my influence. She's not at all into racing and football games like her dad. I can imagine her going around saying yeah I remember mom playing this. P.S. RE2's Secure Place is a classic and will always be remembered.

[@WizkusTV]

no spyro?

[@BrianMccarthy10]

Eu amo esse vídeo

It's sad, yet again Tenchu: Stealth Assassins is overlooked. One of the greatest games, with one of the greatest soundtracks every put to a video game.

[@danielvelazquez3975]

The soundtracks of the castlevania symphony of the Night. It's simply wooow
