Stories:
Can’t think of any currently, will update/post if I do.
Soundtrack:
The Legend of Dragoon: Very interesting turn based RPG from back in the PS1 days. Soundtrack is a really varied from relaxing and heart pumping. Since its '99 PS1 RPG its music is a weird mix of modern sounds and almost midi sounding effects so its got some nice charm to it.
Examples:
,
.Shin Megami Tensei Nocturne : Again quite varied but with more of a mellow overtone to a lot of the tracks and some great heart pumping action music. Again a turn based RPG but PS2 era so the music is a bit more advanced. Also has Dante from DMC in the EU/US release.
,
,
.Nitronic Rush: A pretty neat game, but the soundtrack blows the game out of the water frankly, absolutely amazing.
Heroes of Might and Magic 3: Perhaps one of the most comfy games out there, its soundtrack is probably some of the best ambiet music stuff out there and its Town/Race music is breathtaking
,
,
.Hitman series: I assume you have probably heard of the hitman series, but if you have not listened to some of the early music you really are missing out.
