My contribution for the day: Xenosaga classics. Those of you that missed out on the series, do youself a favor and check the music out. The games themselves are love it/hate it, but the music is great.
The music for XS1 was composed by Yasunori Mitsuda and the Movie Scene OST for XS2 and all the music for XS3 was composed by Yuki Kajiura. Some talentless hack composed the non-cutscene music for XS2. Samples from that OST will not be included here.
If you can’t be arsed to listen to all of them, at least listen to all of the XS2 stuff I’ve posted below. The XS2 Movie Scene OST is absolutely electrifying.So.Good.?
If you have the time, though, by all means go through XS1 and XS3 as well. Exceptional music.

[media=youtube]h8Ez5XSxG6s[/media] (This song was never released in a soundtrack, so the only way to hear it is through the trailer. I have a rip of the song without the trailer sounds, but I’m too lazy to upload it to YT right now)

So.Good.?
As a bonus, here are the main trailers for each game in the series. Xenosaga’s music goes pretty well with these trailers. It was a treat to watch each trailer when they were first released. Now that video game tech has improved, these will feel nowhere near as amazing as they did in the years they were released, but it’s still quite good to watch.
