Greatest final boss theme?

The problem with Okuu is, nobody can reach her. Nobody.

Here is my contribution:


I love fighting this boss just to hear the music

 

[Kitteh]

the battle with gruntilda from banjo kazooie. it rocks.

 

[Cobelo]

Culex's theme from Super Mario RPG.
Not the last boss, but certainly a bastard to fight even at high levels.

Ironically that song is almost exactly like FFIV's boss theme.

Spoiler

I do agree with you though, Culex was an utter ***** to fight, even at high level.

OT: FFIV's Zeromus theme.

In my case, at lest, it's because I'm not especially fond of Nuclear Fusion compared to some other themes in the series.

Another one of my favorites is from Digital Devil Saga 2. Here it is for your listening pleasure.


It's quite the song, especially during the battle itself.

Well, that was pretty excellent. Now, what can I get... ah yes, this one, from phase 2 of the "real" final boss from Treasure of the Rudras.

To me it will always be this

*AHEM*
Na, I don't disagree, considering both of the final bosses represented the same damn thing. They were both pretty fucking awesome.

I tohugh the final battle theme for 3 was Burn My Dread,it's been a while since I've played 3 so my memory is a little fuzzy. Either way they all kick ass

Yeah, the rap version. Just like I think of Mist/Fog as the better boss theme, and people don't think Sephiroth's theme is the song that plays after One Winged Angel, the real final boss theme was The Battle for Everyone's Souls.

surprised i'm first to put this up...

It wasn't a final boss, but damn I thought it was the first time I fought him.

 

[zeldafan1593]

I'd personally go with the Ganondorf fight from The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker

Actually, I've never been a huge fan of One Winged Angel I know, it's blasphemy. I appreciate it for its influence on gaming music, and I'm not saying it's a bad song, because it isn't. But it's definitely not one of my favorites. Quite honestly, I'm more of a Dancing Mad kinda guy. Has anyone posted that btw? If not I probably should, just in case. But seriously, is there any song that can't be improved by incredible amounts of organ?


Edit: Okay, someone did post it but not with a fancy youtube picture, and two others mentioned it but didn't post it. So I'll leave it up anyway

 

[Bebus]

All very good songs. But I have yet to hear one with the sheer heart wrenching awesome of this.


Ok, not quite a final boss theme (more like an approach to final boss theme) but I thought this was much more of an ending than the actual boss!

 

[Skoldpadda]

The Final Fantasies have already been mentioned, thus I present to you Eternal Sonata's final battle theme:


Regardless your opinion of the actual game (I kinda liked it), that theme is EPIC.

Also, FF Mystic Quest:

All very good songs. But I have yet to hear one with the sheer heart wrenching awesome of this.

That's the one I would've picked as well, UNTIL I remembered this


I'm amazed no one picked that yet. Can't really explain why I like it so much, I guess it's because it reminds me of all the MGS games and how much fun and emotional they where.

Culex's theme from Super Mario RPG.
Not the last boss, but certainly a bastard to fight even at high levels.

This music is actually originally in Final Fantasy IV (II on SNES in NA). It's just regular boss music in the game but still good boss music. Thought you might be interested since FF IV predates Super Mario RPG by 5 years.

I do believe Culex is the optional boss behind that locked door. He was a ***** to fight that's for sure.

EDIT: Just noticed I got beat to it.

Agreed. One-Winged Angel is decent, but not particularly amazing. Dancing Mad, on the other hand, is incredible. Can't believe I forgot to link that, thanks for putting the video up. REALLY long, though. In practice, you'll kill him way before the song is over, complete pushover of a boss.

 

[Skoldpadda]

Another fantastic one:

 

[Hyperactiveman]

Music in Background when fighting Emperor Diviculous in Brutal Legend.

(Painkiller by Judas Priest) = EPIC!

I was sifting through the 4 pages and couldn't find this, thankyou thankyou thankyou this easily wins if you are a MGS fan, it's just so epic.
