Great list of videogame OSTs, you're very brave to put Harmony of Dissonance in there.

Have you listened to DQ6's OST? I think it has the best music of any DQ games and especially with its SNES soundfount.

@eliasco
yeah it looks like I'm a part of the small majority that enjoys the soundtrack, what can I say I love good chiptunes

I have listened to DQ6's music and I really like some of the tracks there especially Ocean Waves and Saint's Wreath, let me fix this list real quick
