What is the Best FINAL-Boss Theme in the FF Series?










We did regular Boss theme. Now we're doing final boss theme. Results gathered via the Nominations topic.
.
.
.
.
I think I'm going to mix up the music genre of the series as for whatever reason it's less popular. Kind of blows my mind as the music in the FF series is just good all around.

Dancing Mad, of course. One Winged Angel, while undeniably iconic, ultimately just belongs to Sephiroth. Dancing Mad is much more of a culmination of the grand saga that led up to this final conflict, opening with a callback to the overture that both opens the game and plays during its most significant moment when the world is doomed to destruction (there's also the repeat of the grim organ title crawl that heralds Kefka himself when he finally descends on the battle). I absolutely love it when final battles either replay or make obvious callbacks to a particular beginning-game track, like Super Castlevania 4 switching to the triumphant Simon's Theme during the final phase of the Dracula battle; it really helps bring the adventure full-circle. And of course there's the multi-layered phases of the track that perfectly match the feel of the boss phase you're fighting; I'm too nostalgic for this game to comment on whether or not it 'holds up,' but like the Opera House before it, it was just mind-blowing as a kid that the music seemed to so effortlessly transition to fit the mood throughout the fight.

Proud that we got not just one but two XIV songs on the list. The game really has fantastic music. It's a tough choice for me between The Extreme and Who Brings Shadow, though I ultimately went with the latter.

Happy it looks like DM will take this one. Surprised that The Extreme doesnt have a few more votes, but expected in light of the strong competition here.

I personally like The Extreme the most on this list but I went with Dancing Mad just to see if it could be OWA.

Maybe it will

I love Zeromus' music, but only the SNES version. The ports introduced some interpolation in the audio channels that don't make it flow as nice.

Yes indeedy. Furthermore, the ending sequence track (character vignettes + credits) is about 22 minutes long, and I don't know exactly how long the combined Opera House tracks are, but that one's a beast as well. FF 6 did some pretty revolutionary things with music.

If you were to just listen to it on its own, it would probably sound like a bunch of weird directional choices that keep changing, but the last boss is broken into 4 stages, and the song flows to go with those stages as you progress.

Voted for Who Brings Shadow

But Dancing Mad is gonna take it, and it earned this win.

Eat shit, OWA. No matter how much I like you, you can't win everything.

Its Dancing Mad by itself. The gap between Otherworld and OWA is closer than the gap between Dancing Mad and OWA.

TC, two other potential future polls... best generic town theme and best town specific theme? So for example, FF6 could have two generic themes (World of Balance town and World of Ruin town) and something like Zozo would qualify as a town specific theme.

Oh fuck

I'd probably go for OWA since 9 isn't in, but Birth of a God is and is the most underrated track in the series

It gets my vote

This would be dope.
But let's be real, Home Sweet Home would sweep the town specific theme :)
