since we're past the deadline, here's my list of guessesses

Code: Select all

1. ???
2. ??? 
3. Vulnerable to Lyric Search.  I have heard this one before but I can't place where.
4. Is this from a Final Fantasy Tactics game?  It's got the right instrumentation but the wrong melody.
5. Why do so many of these use the same instruments?
6. Advance Wars: Days of Ruin - Penny's Theme ~ Mister Bear.  
7. This is a bit more fast-paced than I'd expect from a SRPG, is this from a regular one?
8. This sounds so very Shantae but the only ones I've played are GBC Shantae and Pirate's Curse.  I'm gonna guess this is something from Seven Sirens.
9. Is this a shop theme from Octopath?  It sounds like it belongs in the Bravely games but I've only played the 3ds entries.
10. I've heard this one before too but hell if I know wherefrom.  It actually sounds like it's based on something out of the European Classical Canon.
11. Getting some real Advance Wars vibes out of this one but I know that's wrong.
12. Vulnerable to Lyric Search.  
13. These are closing credits to something, I'm sure of it.
14. I know that this isn't from Final Fantasy Adventure but I really want it to be a SaGa song.
15. Vulnerable to Lyric Search.  I've heard this one in context but hell if I can place it.
16. ??? Vaguely feels like a Stage Select?
17. ???
18. This is from the introduction to a thing but I can't figure out which one so I'm just going to say it's the intro to the latest Mortal Kombat game and guarantee that I'll be wrong about it.
19. Is this from Guacamelee?  This is from Guacamelee isn't it?  I need to get that one.
20. Very chill chiptune.  I wouldn't be surprised if this was an impostor.
21. Yarr!  We're on the high seas, matey!  At least I think so anyway.
22. ???
23. Defintiely closing credits of some kind.  It's too upbeat to be from anything else.
24. ???
25. Not gonna lie, I can hear Dionne Warwick singing to this.
26. Not a final boss fight music but probably a mid-story cutscene confronting them.  Hell if I know the game though.
27. Isn't this from GBA Fellowship of the Ring? 
28. Is this from a tetris game? this feels like it's from one of those falling things games.
29. ???
30. Stage theme from some licensed game
31. This sounds like a bonus round theme from one of the newer sonic games.  It doesn't help that I'm listening at 8k instead of 44.1k so everything sounds like GBA Bitcrunch.
32. ...wait is this from PangYa?
33. Vulnerable to Lyric Search.  They're not the Persona singers but hell if I know anything beyond that.
34. I could jam to this all day.
35. Sounds like we're in a sports bar or something.  I can hear the clack of billiards balls in my mind as I listen to this.
36. My guess based on the hint is "the Kirby and the Forgotten Land version of the King DeDeDe fight" but I haven't played a kirby game newer than Squeak Squad
37. This is a boss fight of some kind, and it feels vaguely final boss-y.
38. ???
39. ???
40. I thought this was vulnerable to lyric search at first but no that's just vocalization and not actual lyrics.
41. I've heard this before.  where have I heard this before.
42. Okay that's just not fair.  This is either a final boss or something out of a 70's concept album.
43. It sounds like we just beat a final boss.  I vaguely remember the leitmotif here but hell if I remember wherefrom.
44. ...why do all of these sound like PangYa?
45. ???
46. I know as soon as I hear the full version I'm going to go "augh how did I not get that"
47. Yet another FFT Wannabe.  Maybe Onimusha Tactics?  It actually sounds correct at 8k so it probably is GBA-era.
48. Is this from a Kingdom Hearts game?  It's got those KH trills.
49. Either NES or DMG, and the DMG actually had more RPGs.
50. ???
51. This has got to be from a shmup.  It sounds just familiar enough that I feel confident that it's not from a shmup.
52. A forest of some kind.  It thinks it's the forest from SMRPG but it's definitely not (even if just because it's too high quality to be)
53. all I know is that this one is not from PangYa.
54. Oooh I like this one.
55. I actually want this to be from The Price Is Right
56. I could fall asleep to this one, it's nice.
57. This is either the closing credits to something or it's a '90s Award Bait song.
58. Power Up!  I have no idea but I kinda want to say it's maybe from a shmup possibly?
59. Oh man those orchestra hits.  Whatever this is, it's powered by the midi format.
60. Vulnerable to Lyric Search.  Sounds like it's from a closing theme just from being an ensemble song.

1) Sonic Forces
2) Moomin's Tale
7) Marvel vs. Capcom 2?
8) Warioware? - It's not, but it sounds like Ashley's Theme.
12) Final Fantasy XIV
15) Elden Ring?
18) Jet Force Gemini?
23) The Intruder?!
33) Persona 5 Strikers?
36) Kirby and the Forgotten Land
41) Ys VI? - Sounds like Falcom anyway.
47) Tactics Ogre (SNES)? - SRPG
49) Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light (Fire Emblem 1) - SRPG
2 & 49 were my hints, so that's how I got them. This was not my best run, but I tried. I legitimately only knew FFXIV & Kirby.

what the fuck is a

moomin's tale

. anyway i got 49 because im playing it right now, it's my first

fire emblem

. lmao

also

>sonic forces

oh my fucking gooood this is what i get for only playing

sonic mania

and not bothering with the rest of the dreck

i am never playing

ff14

seriously. there's so much content i will never finish it and it costs

like a monthly subscription

and rpg music without the rpg attached has to sound Really Fucking Good, like Mozart level (like pre-singa falcom music, the nier gest/repl overworld theme or sunleth waterscape from Lightning's Antisocial Extravaganza 13) to stick to my brain. or be eternity from blue dragon which is kind of kitsch-y so i guess it fits that description if in a different way

i like how we both guessed snes srpgs for 47
