Dear holy FUCK.
Just finished Arkham City. And if this is Mark Hamill's last go as the Joker, as he's said it would be, then what an incredible note to go out on. Great final bit of voice acting here, and wouldn't you know it, it's the perfect song for the Joker's feelings on Batman.
No spoilers, really, so anyone feel free to give a listen. Just don't watch it on the actual youtube page, as all you'll see are spoilers in the idiot comments section.
Oh, and the quality may seem fuzzy, but that's just because it's meant to be on a recorded phone message in the game. It's not actually a bad-quality copy of the song.

Really nice technical work on the SNES, mimicking the sound of the orchestral animated series music.

^This is my favourite theme in the game (Mad Hatter's boss tune). So damn intense.

This was one of Jesper Kyd's (Hitman series) first works as a game composer.

Different game, actually. The Genesis version was like a Gunstar-style shooter, while the SNES one was more of a platformer/beat-em-up. Genny's music was all techno-y, SNES one was more of a takeoff of the animated series' orchestral stuff.

If I were a betting man, I'd say this has probably been posted before. But for whatever reason, I didn't take notice at the time.
But damn it all, this is one of the absolute most beautiful, soothing, easy-to-listen-to town themes I've ever heard in an RPG, not to mention one of the best original vocal tracks I've ever heard in a videogame, period.
And it provides a really cool atmosphere in-game, because normally only the backing instrumental is playing, with the vocals fading in or out depending on how close you are to the town's songstress. Very cool effect, very nice use of musical layering.
Loving this game, and it's due in no small part to the amazing soundtrack.

This one actually made me think of Chrono Cross when I first heard it. Just the style of it. Kind of sounds to me like something Mitsuda would do.

I miss character themes. I always felt it helped flesh the character out by giving them a sort of continuity. Plus it made certain scenes pop, if you heard this theme you knew Cyan was going to do something awesome, and I'll never forget him or the ghost train, or Doma castle, or Zozo mountain because of this music. The last FF I remember having character themes was FF9 and it seems like a lot of modern RPGs don't do it anymore, heck most fighting games don't even have character specific songs and stages.
