if you want all letters in the alphabet, but not once each, you can try the nonsense sentence
abaca decaf ghi jackal man open faqirs turn veer wax syzygy
but that's complete nonsense. They are all words though!

Video game music thing, #4: Music from a Console-Exclusive Series
This one gets a three-part suite, because these tracks simply *have* to go together. In order, they are
Determination

World Revolution
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-QgUjqMxeXo
and Last Battle
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IevXx3yQ77s
From the soundtrack to Chrono Trigger, by Yasunori Mitsuda himself.
These three tracks play as you approach the final boss, as you battle the boss's first phase, and as you fight its final phase. I've written up my thoughts on this more elsewhere but it's just an extremely good suite. The use of Lavos's scream in Last Battle, and the constantly panning ostinato that shows up briefly in World Revolution and then throughout the whole piece in Last Battle... This is just *so good*.

oh hey @daylight you like warhammer 40k; did you know that GOG is giving away copies of an old warhammer 40k game today and tomorrow?

aside, re: Video game music thing, #3: 8-bit Music
I was quite tempted to put something from Lagrange Point on here, just because people never believe that that's 8-bit, but I think Wally Beben's Tetris is an aesthetically superior choice here.

Video game music thing, #3: 8-bit Music
Well, that's a pretty broad category, isn't it? So let's go with one people might not know as well.

This is the theme to Tetris, composed by Wally Beben.
You may be familiar with the remix of Korobeiniki that's on the Game Boy version of Tetris. This is not that.
This is the Commodore 64 version of Tetris, and its music is phenomenal. Make sure you have time to listen to it in full, at least 27 minutes. No loops in that either.
Video game music thing, #2: Opening Level Music
I think my pick for this one would be Green Grass Gradation, from the soundtrack to Mega Man ZX, by Ippo Yamada, Masaki Suzuki, and Ryo Kawakami.

The Mega Man series has consistently had great music from its inception, and this one is no exception. It's played as soon as you gain control of your character, and the upbeat nature of it gets you going as you start the game.
Video game music thing, #1: Title Screen Music
I guess I can stick #FelthrysVGMSelection on these, huh? Been a while since I used that tag.
I'm assuming title screen covers opening cinematics too. In that case, I'm going with *Transcending Love*, from the soundtrack to Suikoden III, by Michiru Yamane, Takashi Yoshida, and Masahiko Kimura.

This is one of the most beautiful pieces of opening music we've ever heard, honestly. Still have no idea what language the vocals are in, if they're in a language at all.

like, even if they don't say to, that should be the default assumption unless the profile says something to the contrary

All of the eeveelutions have names that end in -eon.
