One of the things I love in JRPG are their town/villagers theme. Some games really have powerfull town themes, and sadly, some has sequels with not as good town theme:
Final Fantasy 1 really knew how to keep players motivate with its beautiful town theme:
I don't think most town themes in FF are as good as the first one. We do have good ones, but 1 and 2 have my favorites.
Despite FFVIII being really bad, this song is really beautiful:
Dragon Quest 1 and 2 had a good town theme, but 3 had a really powerfull town theme:
This is probably the song you'll hear the most in this game given how much you will get stuck without knowing where to go. This was also the Dragon Quest game that made me a fanboy of this series(that ending was perfect).
Legend of Mana is one of my favorite jrpg for PS1. I have finished this game many times, including 2-player with gf(her favorite game, after all). It is pretty much a big game of side quest, but it still an amazing game. And this song still makes me happy:
Tbh, I could spend the whole day talking about town themes, jrpg really do this better than wrpg, imo.
In fact, I think JRPG do better OST than WRPG.
