Which non-Kingdom Hearts video game music composed by Yoko Shimomura is your favorite?

Considering that it's the only game I have played out of this list: M&L:DT

Street Fighter 2 had an amazing soundtrack.

I think my answer's pretty obvious... Xenoblade, of course. Favorite soundtrack of all time.

Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam!

Mario & Luigi Dream Team definitely!  In fact, this is my favorite video game soundtrack!  I just love it so much!

Final Fantasy XV, I listen to the Abbey Road performances daily and will pre-order the crap out of the soundtrack when Square puts it up.  Although shout outs to Xenoblade & Mana, both of which have exceptional soundtracks.  Shimomura is a god-sent to the world of music! 

Haven't heard any of the others, so FFXV it is!

Xenoblade

 

Also, if my memory serves me right, she did the music for all of the Mario and Luigi games.

She also did the music for Last Ranker. I don't think it was released outside of Japan, but it had some good tunes lol

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that she did. She also contributed to the soundtracks for Super Smash Bros Brawl and 4, but she only did a couple tracks in those, so I don't know if those would count.

She help arrange some of the music for Smash Bros Brawl and Smash Bros 3DS / Wii U so I think that should count, so I will go with Smash Bros, as I enjoy the music, like Route 10 and Magicant / Eight Melodies, to name a few!

Also, if my memory serves me right, she did the music for all of the Mario and Luigi games.

 

I know she did Bowser's Inside Story, Dream Team, and Paper Jam, but I'm not sure if she did the first two M&L games.

Final fantasy xv. Can't say more except,they're excellent.

Final Fantasy XV is already sounding pretty epic, I can't wait to hear the whole soundtrack for that game.

I dunno why, but it kind of feels like everyone is voting for FF15 because....they've never played (or heard) any of the other games.  

 

The fact that we've only heard a handful of pieces of 15 kind of enforces that notion.

FFXV's hands down and the game isn't even out yet lol 

Xenoblade, easily.

Well, it is a KH forum. FF15 being on the top isn't really that surprising. 

Street Fighter 2 is actually Yoko's most iconic work considering how ginormously popular her tracks from SF2 was like Ryu's theme and Guile's theme

 

For me it's a tie between SF2 and Mario & Luigi Dream Team

I know she did Bowser's Inside Story, Dream Team, and Paper Jam, but I'm not sure if she did the first two M&L games.

She did the soundtrack for the entire Mario & Luigi series

Mostly because most people here only play Square Enix games

 

I don't mean that as an insult btw

I second this. Though it was ACE+ that contributed to most of the soundtrack on that game.

Final Fantasy XV . Omnis Lacrima is beautiful.

Super Mario RPG—especially since that game was one of the influencing factors that got her the job for Kingdom Hearts. I think of that game's soundtrack every time I pick up forest mushrooms in Unchained χ.

 

…Though might that count under the 'Mario & Luigi' option?

ACE+ contributed more, but Shimomura still composed some of the best tracks in the game.

 

Also, Manami Kiyota contributed even more than ACE+ did.

Voting for Legend of Mana just to give it a vote. Her work on that game was truly great.

 

While I like the pieces of music from FFXV we've heard, I'm not saying it's my favourite as I haven't played the game yet.

 

I really liked her work on Xenoblade too. Overall, it's hard to really dislike any of her music, she's easily my favourite composer.
