Chrono Cross, and generally anything by Mitsuda, but that was his best work hands down.
Xenoblade Chronicles (that main theme: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7OxpAqDc4JE)
Nier: Automata.
FF's have some great music, VIII and X being the most consistent and hence strongest for me. The latter has the benefit of (almost) all tracks being wonderfully remastered for the HD version.
Shadow Of The Colossus probably has the best soundtrack of anything in my opinion. All of it's music is amazing, but The Opened Way is the epitome of how good the soundtrack as a whole is. It helped made my first battle in the game oe of my best experiences in gaming.
Silent Hill 2 - Lisa's Theme
Creepy, depressing and emotional game, yet for the most part a chill and uplifting song. For me, it's a really good way to sit back and just think.
The Witcher 3 - Steel For Humans
Another game with an all round excellent soundtrack. Epic, gets you in the mood for fighting and the folk instruments with Polish vocals fit in with setting perfectly.
I have been listening to loads of great soundtracks recently, even for games I haven't played yet. Been listening to Abzu and Hyper Light Drifter. Both very chilled and atmospheric.

@Rudy_Manchego HLD soundtrack is awesome. Disasterpeace is the man. Overall I have to say I prefer his work in Fez slightly but there isn't a lot in it!
@kyleforrester87 Ha yeah, when you said about Disasterpeace I was going to mention Fez, such a lovely piece to listen to. I think most AAA soundtracks need to look towards the indie scene as they really do seem to get artists in sync with the game.

Other soundtracks I like are:
"Confrontation with the enemy" from Xenoblade chronicles
"It has to be this way" from Metal gear rising
"Aldia, scholar of the first sin" from Dark Souls 2
"Dancing Mad" from Final Fantasy 6
"Giants Rage" from La Mulana ex
I've wanted to share this bit somewhere, but knew of no place where it might be appreciated. Of course, then I found this topic.
Earlier this year I played and finished Super Mario RPG again, and was reminded at how great the soundtrack of this game is. One song in particular really hits me, and it's one of the few video game songs that has made me teary-eyed. It's pretty much at the end of the game:
Do you lot have any video game soundtracks that have really hit you emotionally?
@Kidfried The Last of Us really hit me. The acoustic guitar music stands out as very chilling and impactful in that depressing setting. I’ve also always appreciated Uncharted‘s easily recognizable theme.
More recently— NieR Automata’s music was great, and had a large role to play in carrying that game’s emotions. Before the Storm’s score really helped carry the emotional impact of that story.
These are a few that have moved me, although I don’t usually listen to video game music when I’m not playing.
