I thought, hey why not including some of the best video game soundtracks ever composed in this thread too right? Well here it is, at least it's one of my favourite, but any person with a taste for music will be able to recognize the genius behind the composition of this OST.

Final Fantasy VII Complete Soundtrack Remastered

A bit more about it:

As all the series OST before the works of Masashi Hamauzu and Takeharu Ishimoto, Final Fantasy VII's original soundtrack was composed by Nobuo Uematsu. The game was released in 1997 and is still to our day recognized as one of the best game ever written in the history of video games.

And oh boy I agree with that statement.

Called by Uematsu his "greatest harvest" in terms of creativity, the soundtrack, despite its length, was composed in a period of eight months, as opposed to the bi-annual period of producing that had become the standard regarding the previous original soundtracks. The Final Fantasy VII soundtrack was innovative in that it was the first game in the series to include a track with digitized vocals, "One-Winged Angel", which has been described as Uematsu's "most recognizable contribution" to the music of the Final Fantasy series.

The original music received highly positive reviews from critics, who found many of the tunes to be memorable and noted the emotional intensity of several of the tracks. The reception for the other albums has been mixed, with reactions ranging from enthusiastic praise to disappointment. Several pieces from the soundtrack, particularly "One-Winged Angel" and "Aeris' Theme", remain popular and have been performed numerous times in orchestral concert series such as Dear Friends: Music from Final Fantasy and Tour de Japon: Music from Final Fantasy.
