What's your favorite vocal song in a video game?

"All Hail Shadow" by Magna-Fi, used in Shadow the Hedgehog.

Most vocal songs in Sonic games really get me fancy quick ("Open Your Heart", "Live and Learn", "What I'm Made Of...", and "I am...". This is what I've been listening to a lot recently.

On another note, while not used in the games themselves, the Guilty Gear XX Vocal Soundtracks are pretty awesome, too.

My favorite had to be the choir theme from Metal Gear Solid. For some reason, I've always loved that song.
 
I agree whith Shun Goku Satsu Sonic Tunes Rule (Sonic heroes, Sonic Adventure 2 Battle, Shadow The Hedgehog)

I also Like:
FFX - "Zanarkand" (Jecht Aeon Boss)
FFIX - Nearly All of 'em (I know!, that counts as MOST FF Tunes :p)
Kingdom hearts - "Simple And Clean" (Planitb Remix And Utada's original)
Kingdom Hearts 2 - "Sanctuary"
Any other Kingdom hearts Original Tune!!! (Station of serenity, Destiny Islands etc..)
.hack//INFECTION/MUTATION/QUARANTINE/OUTBREAK - Most of 'em!!

If ya cant tell by now I LOVE RPG MUSIC!!!

YES! I was beginning to think I was the only person who has played (and enjoyed that game).

The Boat Song in Lunar SSSC is pretty good, and I adore Suteki Da Ne.

I agree with Lene. Luna's boat song dominates.

I also like that ending theme for Xenogears "Small of Two Pieces" by Faye Wong. Doesn't anyone think it's funny that "Fei Wong" was the name of the male protagonist in Xenogears? I'm sure it's just a coincidence, but that's humorous somehow...
 
The only one I can think of now is PSO's "whole new world".... it's okay...

Although, you say Guilty Gear has vocal versions not used in the games... I'm intrigued!
 
The airship one in FFX-2. It's the only vocal song I can remember in a RPG that didn't break immersion.

In a non-RPG, the Grand Theft Auto series has a few songs I really like. Also the Disco song in Warcraft 2, but I don't think it counts :)
 
1. 1000 Words - Final Fantasy X-2 (as much as I dislike the game itself)
2. Kiss Me Goodbye - Final Fantasy XII
3. Redemption - Dirge of Ceberus: Final Fantasy VII
4. Journey's End - Final Fantasy: Zero (I know it's not official but I created the game, I get to put it here!)
5. Snake Eater - Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater
 
"Eyes on Me" in FF8 all the way! That song gets me crying EVERY time! I just love it so much ;_;

I've also enjoyed:
"1000 Words" in FFX-2
"If You Still Believe" in Legend of Dragoon
"Radical Dreamers" in Chrono Cross
"Sanctuary" in Kingdom Hearts 2

I think there were more. But those were the most memerable to me.
