Shining Force (Video Game)

The Shining series started off as a turn-based tactical role-playing game, but over time has come to include titles that are action role-playing based games.
Previously the Shining games from Shining in the Darkness to Shining Force III were solely developed by Sonic Software Planning which later became Camelot. The initial idea came from co-founder Hiroyuki Takahashi who previously was at Enix.
This sound track has a very medieval adventurous feel combined with marching and treacherous vibes.
My personal favorite Shining OST comes from the second game in the series, Shining Force.
I left some of the Shining OSTs off the list because they didn't sound like fantasy music.
This game has been adapted into several different anime, however the OSTs for those are kind of in a different genre, so I did not include them in this list either.
