My little brother constantly rags on about how music in video games such as Lost Odyssey and Final Fantasy 3 are fabulous because it has no actual words in the different themes. (I can think of two from Lost Odyssey that have words in them.) So, I need help to find awesomely epic music from video games to prove to him once and for all that music in games can be very epic indeed.

I'm simply a distraction. 
Do the Kashmir instrumental version be escala make sure it's not led zeppelin and tell him it's video game music what game say Dragon age or something that hasn't come out yet to stop questions. But really the oblivion start screen music but only for the first six seconds .

The music in Crisis Core Final Fantasy VII
Especially the sad ones.
The music that plays while you fight the army of Shinra grunts is very moving indeed.
Oh, and the music that plays in the final battle of Valkyria Chronicles 2.

A couple of favorites:

Final Fantasy VIII - Liberi Fatali This has words...
Lunar SSSC - Wind's Nocturne: This has words...
Myst Uru - Kadish Gallery Theme: Link
Myst IV Theme: Link
Secret of Mana - Fear of the Heavens: Link
Touhou - U.N. Owen Was Her? (Flandre's Theme): Yes, this is a video game
Zelda 3 - Dark World Theme: Link
Zelda 64 - Gerudo Theme: Link

Also, does this count?

You can guess which game I'm going for.

Wild ARMs introduction theme.

Also Krisknox, it will be very hard to convince people, who in their hearts have decided that RPG music sucks, to like it. Maybe he'll understand when he's older, maybe not. If not, he hasn't got musical understanding. If he still, after these themes, says he thinks these songs suck, tell him to learn to play all of these on some instrument, until then, these themes are more epic than him and he's the fabulous one.

Wow, you've got some great suggestions, my little brother liked a few, but it's unclear whether or not he would like RPG music. Thanks.

If he doesn't like the music in Crisis Core, he won't like any music in videogames. If he likes loud/rock music, try Prince of Persia Warrior Within.

Tip o the spear might be worth while as well.
