Best video game shop music

Post by Tweed »

Buying, selling, upgrading, whatever. It's always good when there's something snappy to listen to while you're offloading loot or making the numbers go up on your gear. So let me hear your best shop themes.

Inside Nora
Inspired to make this thread since I've had this stuck in my head for a week now, one of the highlights of the game is the music, especially the shop/upgrade theme.

Other picks:
Invisible, Inc. OST - Shopcat
Shenmue Music: Tomato Convenience Store \ud83c\udf45

The shop theme from FFTA2. You spend a lot of time here looking to minmax all of the slots in your 6 man team, especially when you need to have them switch different jobs often to level them up before reaching their final build.

Final Fantasy Tactics A2: Grimoire Of The Rift OST - Mysterious Shop.



The shopping mall theme from the earlier Pokemon games. The mall in Lilycove was the first time I heard this theme, but BW's version of it was my favorite. I like the elevator door dings in it. Sounds like your group is lightheartedly dancing through the place.

Pokemon Black and White Music - Shopping Mall (Poke Mart)



Nook N'Go from Animal Crossing Wild World. In this game, if you spend enough money at Nook's shop, he will eventually close it down for one day to renovate and then reopen the next day as a larger shop with more and new items to sell, and the music changes too. I wish more games had done this. Nook N' Go is the second stage of his shop and is the one you hear the most besides the third tier, which has a less memorable theme.

Nook \u0027n\u0027 Go - Animal Crossing: Wild World Soundtrack



Sierrokarte's shop theme from Granblue Fantasy, which got a nice rearrange for GBF Relink. I can still hear her parrot saying "Mimi papaaaa!"

\u3088\u308d\u305a\u5c4b\u30b7\u30a7\u30ed\u30ab\u30eb\u30c6



Arknights shop theme. Reminds me of the Gate theme from Pokemon BW. That sound style always makes me think about life.

[Arknights OST] shop



The Marchen Garten shop theme from Kuro no Kiseki/Trails Through Daybreak 2. I can still Mirelle's upbeat responses whenever you switch screens or buy something. I spent many hours hearing this music during the character building segments.

Kuro no Kiseki II OST (First Volume) - Welcome to Marduk Support



Box Galaxy from ZZZ. It is where you buy your W-Engines (the equippable weapons/light cones of ZZZ).

Zenless Zone Zero OST: Surprise Box, For Good Or Bad



Cozy witch's atelier theme, and you get sweet Altina and Towa to talk to you when moving between menus and buying stuff.

Kai no Kiseki OST - Get Ready for Your Adventure

[Soundtrack] Everquest - Merchant [MIDI Remastered - Roland SD-50]
When you realize that muffins feed you as much as iron rations do. At least until they changed it ages later.
[Soundtrack] Everquest - Guildmaster [MIDI Remastered - Roland SD-50]
One of my favorite themes ever composed for a game.
