How much did you enjoy the final bosses theme music?

Lol
I actually really liked the eerie atmosphere that the last corridor and boss fight had. Finding the encapsulated townsperson who tells you not to save him, and that Ana needs to brace herself to see her mother once the battle is all said and done. Of course it's just an atonal pitch to sell the alienness of the... well, alien bad guy, but it's very effective at setting the off-putting and unpleasant tone of the final boss. Like yeah, Giygas is a fucked up wallpaper in Earthbound and infamously upsetting and strange - but even the embodied alien form of Giygas is very creepy and kind of upsetting to face. Trying to manipulate you into leaving your friends, telling you to die with the ugly humans you belong to - it's unpleasant and challenging in the same way that Youngtown is. The atonal pitch that scores his boss fight enhances the atmosphere of a boss who's already so uncomfortable and hostile to face.

So basically yeah I did like the final boss theme, lol.
