I don't know how I missed this topic yesterday but uh here's mine. Biggest omission is this imo:
Blue Dragon - The Seal is Broken  Some others I like: Super Paper Mario - The Ultimate Show  Xenoblade Chronicles - The God-Slaying Sword  Okami - The Sun Rises (The song that plays at the start of the fight--Yami--is also quite good)  There's probably an Ar Tonelico song or something that belongs here, but I don't actually know which songs are the final boss songs, so I just won't include anything here. Also if that person is still reading this topic--yes, the VGM community here at least is already pretty familiar with Ar Tonelico/Atelier music. ...which is not exactly normal I don't think, even for groups of people that are into VGM, but yeah. --- Congratulations to BK_Sheikah00, this year's guru to achieve contest enlightenment! ...

There's probably an Ar Tonelico song or something that belongs here, but I don't actually know which songs are the final boss songs AT1 - oh god it's been so long i'm not completely sure. EXEC_HARMONIUS/.... I think. Although I can't shake the feeling there might be a change of song during one of the phases. Can't be bothered to look up a gameplay vid or something though. AT2 - EXEC_over.METHOD_SUBLIMATION/. There's 3 parts to the song (and 3 phases to the battle) and it goes lamenza -> ee wassa sos yehar -> omness chs ciel sos infel AT3 - XaaaCi (IIRC the very first phase is a variant of Ec Tisia that is typically unlisted with the rest of the OST. What section of XaaaCi is playing changes as the battle advances.) Ar nosurge - Class::EXSPHERE_NOSURGE; and then ra-ciel reincarnation for the final phase. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? ...

Amplitude - Dalatecht
 Being a music game, the song itself is the boss. It was very specifically written to be that way, not just the song as a whole, but each of the individual parts and the overall progression of it from beginning to end. Even the curves of the track as you're playing the song are designed to match what's going on. And of course it serves as the conclusion to the story, which is told entirely through the 13 songs leading up to it. --- Hey man, LlamaGuy did encrypt the passwords. With what? ROT-13? -CJayC ...

Anagram's Top 8 Final Boss Themes From This Topic
Why top eight? Because shut up. 8. Crocodile Cacophany  Game: DKC2 Nominator: StartTheMachine Explanation: I never even beat DKC2, but there's something about VGM from the 86-96 era that tickles my nostalgia, you know? I really like the repetitious beating sound that starts at around 0:08. Much better than Gangplank Galleon, yeah, I said it. 7. It Has to Be This Way Game: Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance Nominator: KamikazePotato Explanation: It's such glorious nonsense. I don't even like this style of music, but I still like it. 6. Serpent Eating the Ground  Game: Bravely Default Nominator: NFUN Explanation: I'm a sucker for epic choirs chanting nonsense in the background, I absolutely cannot get enough of that kind of thing. Any songs with that automatically win points with me. 5. The Merciless Savior https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=1&v=V1GhOzlGXQk Game: Sora no Kiseki SC Nominator: NFUN Explanation: No clue what this game is or what it's about, but I like it once it hits 0:33 and becomes a completely different song. 4. Space Jam Game: Barkley: Shut Up and Jam Gaiden Nominator: azuarc Explanation: I don't know if this should even count as a final boss theme, but obviously it's the best thing. 3. Wrapped in Black  Game: Sonic Rush Nominator: Grand Kirby Explanation: The Backstreet Boys are interesting in how their music is simultaneously ironically enjoyable and genuinely enjoyable. Why am I bringing that up while discussing Sonic the Hedgehog? Oh... no reason... 2. BGM 12- MARIA  Game: Atelier Ayesha Nominator: Jman_maximum Explanation: I've never heard of this game, but I really like this song. No clue what the woman is singing about, but it certainly sounds emotional. I'm going to invent an entire story for this game based on the song and the still image, I'm going to say the girl was adventuring in a JRPG to find her brother and he's been corrupted by dark magic and now she has to kill him. Very emotional, 10/10. 1. Megalovania  Game: Undertale Nominator: Pirateking2000 Explanation: So good I owned it on iTunes. It's what made me make a topic requesting final boss music. --- Not changing this sig until I decide to change this sig. Started: July 6, 2005 ... Copied to Clipboard!
