Well, threads requesting theme music seem to be all the rage about now, so I thought I'd try it out. In a session or two, my players will be going to this very, mage dominated place. Filled with mysticism and wonder. I haven't really decided what the place will look and/or feel like much beyond that, I thought I'd find some nice BGM for it first. So... that's why I come to you all, anything you think might sound good as a place where magic rules supreme and all citizens can use it to some degree or another will work for me.

I got one word for ya. Mysidia (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YeAjRoNUsJo).
It's a mage's village from FinalFantasyIV. A Mysidia also exists in Final Fantasy II, so you might want to look into that as well.

:smallamused: I know what Mysidia is, but thank you for explaining it anyways. And sadly, the Mysidian theme is a bit too, bouncy. These people are not bouncy, they're more serious.

Hmmm... Let's see..

If by serious, you mean high-class, then I think Owzer's House (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HUp2aBnTICM&feature=related) might work.

If you want them to sound really mysterious, exotic, and hidden, try The Esper World (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iY4Lf3pYKPY)

Well, I don't think mysticism is good term word here...

Anyway.

Lore of the Arcane (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=a7QPenU0RrA) (it seems that only with that idiotic video on the youtube, my advice watch with closed eyes/checking something else)

Wizard Theme from Heroes of M&M 2 (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=dTaEqtmsuO0)

This (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=wImzHHbgxqQ&feature=related) and this (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=Vv5oIMJ9ZEk&feature=related) also.

(All tracks from HoMM2 are kinda good, but those fit most, I think)

Maybe I'll recall something else later.

Sorry, I'm vaguely aware of the actual definition, but my use of the word has been corrupted by The Elder Scrolls... :smallfrown:

Yes, I know this one is too bouncy, but I had to put it here after re-reading the town description. Thamasa (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WmrSzU3ENaM).

But seriously, I stand by my previous two.

Waukeen Promenade's theme (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=8VQWotsdkco) from Baldurs Gate II (starts about 20 s)....

So great...

damn now, I miss those games too... :smalltongue:

Lets see, mage type music....

For any battles during the encounter, I would suggest Rammstein Feuer Frei and Powerman 5000 When Worlds Collide

And for other stuff, how about the Miles Edgeworth theme from Phoenix Wright?

I should have said this sooner, but I prefer no words. Words will serve only to distract my players.

Have you thought about the Myst series at all? If you want airy mysticism with a bit of an edge to it, Riven (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-rvXdxlkb-U) & Myst IV: Revelations (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q6aNXQ78x2M) are my personal choices.

Since we're already getting a lot of FF6 suggestions, how about the Floating Land theme?

It's the first thing I thought of when I saw the thread.

You can always try getting ahold of some of the Metroid Prime music.

Elysia (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7P7jdnU06ew) from Metroid Prime 3 might work well...
