Well, first I'd say goodbye to all those somber orchestral stings and Slayer rip-offs that this thread will probably consist almost entirely of. I want something fast, lively, and FUN! I want something timeless that can be played in the background of a fast-paced hack and slash game interspersed with gun fights amidst a giant stage that will be made complete use of in the imminent battle to the death! And it'll have blackjack! And hookers! [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wY7JMfor93o]


In fact, to hell with final boss! I want to be the charismatic fight-your-mirror-image pre-final boss fight secondary villain that steals the protagonist's thunder and calls them out on all their bullshit! And it'll be followed by a terrible bomb-counting-down escape sequence where you'll have to rush out of the building before you die to undercut my awesome death a la Wild Dog from Time Crisis! Then I'll have turned out to survived and get my own spinoff DLC or appear in the sequel!

Walk-Stab-Walk (R&E). Because if I'm a final boss, I am going down in a fabulous way! Albeit a way within three minutes, cos otherwise it's just sort of lame.


I imagine that up until the bit where it starts to get all peppy, I'd be in my easily breakable first-phase, after which I break out of my shell and bathe the arena in my glory.

But failing that I'd go for Three in the Morning (RJ's I Can Barely Sleep in this Casino Remix). It's either fabulous or mellow.

Ooh, I dunno. Possibly something in the drone-doom genre (Sunn O))), for instance) or things in the sludgier/dirtier Funeral Doom realms (Evoken, maybe Ahab, etc). Nice, big, thick, oppressive atmosphere, a sense of despair, etc. All perfect for a final boss. (I'm assuming a darker sort of end boss) Maybe Au Pays Natal, by Rosetta? Big, long, smashing post-metal.

For a lighter/more normal/less "look at my weird music please think I'm interesting" tone, possibly some Isis (maybe Gentle Time [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rLCEYZTsgjA]), or maybe Boris (Riot Sugar, or the Heavy Rocks version of Tu La La). Pretty punchy and decent fight music.

Pardon the lack of links, it's 3:00 AM and I can't be bothered to track down more than just the Isis link right now.

Symphonic music beats everything. The intro is sinister as f*ck. The epic battle start at 2:00. Just imagine a Shadow of the Colossus battle.

I'm going to make some adjustments to that scenario, as I would not be the final boss of a JRPG. If I'm a final boss, I'm a Sith Lord, dammit. The "arena" is the bridge of my Star Destroyer (or era-specific equivalent).

YouTube doesn't let me imbed a video at a specific time, and this video has multiple pieces. The fight music is from here [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R5ulTRodO0w&feature=player_detailpage#t=142s] to 3:32.

Why so short? Because I intend to throw those Jedi straight through my bridge's viewports.
