[22:30:23] Dun 4 Hire: You know I was looking at that post I made about my favorite video game music
[22:30:32] Dun 4 Hire: And I realize I never listed my favorite dungeon themes
[22:30:37] Dun 4 Hire: But then again, that would be insane. There's so much.
[22:32:18] kaiserdragonryu6: i didnt know you had so many you liked
[22:32:29] kaiserdragonryu6: i can't really say off the top of my head
[22:32:33] kaiserdragonryu6: just imposing visage
[22:33:06] kaiserdragonryu6: and the temple of the ancients
[22:34:40] Dun 4 Hire: Well, I really liked Crystal Tower, Road to the Summit, Nepto Shrine, and The Forbidden Land Eureka from FFIII
[22:35:18] kaiserdragonryu6: oh yeah
[22:35:28] kaiserdragonryu6: 3 had a lot of good ones
[22:35:35] kaiserdragonryu6: i always forget the names for them
[22:38:45] Dun 4 Hire: FFIX had Ancient Passageway - Gargan Roo, Burmecian Kingdom, Gurugu Volcano, and Ipse's Heritage.
[22:40:30] Dun 4 Hire: There's Cursed Earth, Exdeath's Castle, Intention of the Earth, Musica Machina (really cool), Pirate's Ahoy!, Sealed Away, The Ancient Library from FFV.
[22:40:39] Dun 4 Hire: (You can tell I'm going down my mp3 files right now.)
[22:41:05] Dun 4 Hire: Oh shit, FFVI had Devil's Lab. That's high up there.
[22:41:37] kaiserdragonryu6: you're already writing the post now
[22:41:41] kaiserdragonryu6: might as well go through with it

The problem is it's hard to define "dungeon" with the way RPGs are headed. For example, do I consider Mt. Corel in Final Fantasy VII a dungeon? It's not on the world map but rather seems more like a transitional stage. I've decided a "dungeon" is a clearly-defined separate area with a boss at the end, which basically eliminates Final Fantasy XIII from this list and other areas that may be considered dungeonesque, like the Lost Woods from Ocarina of Time. As I stated above, this list is long that I've extended it to the top 25.

  1. Zap! Cabellero Family from SaGa Frontier
  2. Guiding Star from Tales of Legendia / The Legendary Sorcerer from Tales of Legendia (same dungeon, different areas)
  3. Advancing Toward 12 O'Clock from Tales of Legendia
  4. Run in the Middle of the Storm from Tales of Legendia
  5. Devil's Lab from Final Fantasy VI
  6. March from Tales of Legendia
  7. Ancient Tomb of Mu from SaGa Frontier
  8. Beware the Forest's Mushrooms from Super Mario RPG
  9. Judgment Day from Final Fantasy VII
  10. Enemy Attack from Tales of Legendia
  11. Crystal Tower from Final Fantasy III
  12. The Forbidden Land Eureka from Final Fantasy III
  13. Ancient Ship from Tales of Legendia
  14. Back Streets of Koorong from SaGa Frontier
  15. Ezo Fuji Irwak Shrine from Ōkami
  16. Tolos Cave from Rune Factory
  17. Sylph from Tales of Phantasia
  18. A Submarine Remains from Tales of Destiny
  19. Courage from Wild ARMs
  20. Death Sea ~ Tower of Ruin from Chrono Cross
  21. Oracle Headquarters from Tales of the Abyss
  22. Inside the Water Dragon from Ōkami
  23. Dancing the Tokage from Chrono Cross
  24. Tyrano Lair from Chrono Trigger
  25. The Freezing from Tales of the World: Radiant Mythology

Yeah, I fucking knew it:

[22:41:37] kaiserdragonryu6: you're already writing the post now
[22:41:41] kaiserdragonryu6: might as well go through with it
[22:43:12] Dun 4 Hire: I can't narrow it down to ten!
[22:43:15] Dun 4 Hire: This is just Final Fantasy!
[22:43:19] Dun 4 Hire: I haven't even gotten to the other games!
[22:43:35] Dun 4 Hire: You know Legendia is basically going to take up most of that list!
