* ''VideoGame/SuikodenI'': [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DDuDkzGeuno Beautiful Golden City]], along with its haunting reprise at the end of the game, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eXhvSMBhESY Echoes of the Changing Past]].
%%** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z0tYDtI-lF8 The original battle theme]].
* ''VideoGame/SuikodenII'' has an amazing soundtrack:
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_f4eGQ9MIWM The opening itself]] sets the mood immediately, with a Gregorian chant juxtaposed with the [[WarIsHell horrors of war]] and [[NightmareFace Luca's nightmarish face]], before the music takes a hopeful and triumphant turn.
** It starts out with TheTeaser ending in an InevitableWaterfall. As the heroes jump, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e7CKWhNB4Es Reminiscence]] begins to play. It is sure to play again whenever something is going to become heartrending.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=473L99I88n8 Gothic Neclord]] aka possibly the best dance track that could ever play while you are killing an evil vampire. Listen to the remixed version [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ll8MWQcks4o HERE]].
** When an army battle opts for [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FCA2dUwb0Yg Battlefield Without Light]] over the standard theme (or silence in the US version because of a bug), you know it's an important one.
** The Heart-Softening themes. All three of them ([[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M7QopLKM0Z4 1]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JqI82DR1qaQ 2]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tz8JKkU16tA 3]]). They play at crucial moments during the story, and are guaranteed to move you.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e2nn_dm3llM Iron Fist of Anger]]. You only hear it once during the game, but that single battle in which it is played is enough, because you ''will'' want to exterminate the double-crossing bastard who just killed Nanami in front of Riou and Jowy.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gOiPK1wrCuo The Chase]], which plays when you are fighting Luca directly with your multiple teams. You have a long battle ahead of you, against [[PsychoforHire one of the most dangerous and monstruous human beings who ever lived]], and who is tough as nail despite being a regular human.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JJ9YZtJmniw Mad Luca]]. You finally have that monster cornered, exhausted after being fought 3 times in a row, riddled with arrows and bleeding to death. But, no, Luca is still able to fight, and charges Riou. This music plays during the last duel against him, in which he is perfectly able to kill Riou despite beginning the fight with only 1/4 of its total health remaining. The music conveys the madness of Luca and the tension of the battle perfectly, and you know it is time to put down this mad dog for good.

* ''VideoGame/SuikodenIII'': [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rUBZgLbRdL8 Exceeding Love]], the opening sequence will give you goosebumps.
%%** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LBhwCjpv3-Q Wind and Ground]].
* ''VideoGame/SuikodenIV'':
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RHT4l9V1SK4 La Mer]], the opening theme, is pretty catchy.
** A very short one, which really deserved to be extended: "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PL18NPyJa9k Magnificent Swordsman]]".
* ''VideoGame/SuikodenV'':
** Many eyes mist over at the sound of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lUklWjawYno Determination ~ Tragic Battle]] which you hear snips of throughout the later half of ''VideoGame/SuikodenV'' but only really get to hear in all its glory during the battle against Sialeeds.
** All three of the war themes are great, but especially the fittingly triumphant [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qepjjO4A2dA Battle to Recapture Sol Falena]].
* ''VideoGame/SuikodenTierkreis'': Not fifteen minutes into gameplay, the ''Tierkreis'' OST lets you know it isn't messing around by busting out [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Orw0aXZc-vQ The Plain and the Sky.]]
