For me definitely The world ends with you. It completely shaped my modern taste in funk, pop, rap and hip hop. That and Jet set radio.
FFX back in the PS2 day’s was when I discovered I really love heavy metal.

FFX back in the PS2 day’s was when I discovered I really love heavy metal.
I don’t think I ever had a game introduced me to a genre. They e only reinforced what I already loved. Capcom had the Techno, House, and a lot of other electronic music in their fighting games. GTA always had popular music from every genre, but Vice City asserted my love for New Wave. Mir y games eventually went all DnB, so more electronic. Megaman X2 had a soundtrack that’s basically Metal with the feel of Jazz and Funk. Those bass lines and drums were stupid incredible.
The only genre that I can think of that I heard first with video games would be Classical/orchestral music. Zelda was the main culprit, but even Star Fox had that drumline feel with a commanding execution of its trumpets. Those horns give me chills to this day.
