Forums - Gaming - Best Final Boss Music

Shadow of the Colossus has amazing music, though I didn't really like the music of the final boss much....And since MGS4 has been taken care of, 

GoW 2 - absolutely awesome

GoW 3 - 2.04 to 2.16; the single most epic 12 seconds of this generation.

I win where's my cookie :)



I won't post any vids or links (too lazy), but here's some good ones:

Mother 3's final battle. It's incredibly distorted, chaotic, and intense. The first time I heard it, I was put in a state of permanent suspense because I kept wanting it to establish some form of coherency but it never does.

Golden Sun: The Lost Age's final battle, especially the Brawl remix. Just a solid example of great composition.

Vs. Marx in Kirby Super Star Ultra drove me nuts after awhile because I was trying to figure out its time signature (3/8 with occasional 5/8 measures).



Digital Devil Saga 2

Yakuza 3

Most epic final boss battle music ever, period:

 

And this one's fantastic too:

Rare were such glorious developers back in the day, it's amazing how cunningly a lot of the game's levels' themes have been woven into this one epic piece.

Another fantastic one, from Okami:

I don't really recall any... final boss music off the top of my head... from anything ever really. The only song I recall are the are the ones you listed... and I don't even like those that much.And I don't like One Winged Angel at all... (Keep in mind I'm not a FF7 basher it's awesome just not that song imo) I just remember cause people always say those...

So I was searching some, and Out of the 3 I searched... X, X-2, OoT, andMario 64, Shadow Hearts Covenant Boss themes... I like this best.

so I'll put one from a videogame few like XD "Demise" I think

FF X-2 has ALOT of awesome pieces of music that went unnoticed.

Can't narrow it down to just one, so I'll just post a bunch of ma' favorites.

Mega Man 9 - Wily Machine

Metroid Prime 2: Echoes - Emperor Ing 2 Battle (Yes, I know that technically, Emperor Ing wasn't the final boss of Prime 2, Dark Samus was. But damn it, this song is better, so shut the hell up.)

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess - Ganondorf Sword Fight

Shadow of the Colossus - Demise of the Ritual 

Sonic & Knuckles - Doomsday Zone

Jak 3 - Errol

Kingdom Hearts II - Darkness of the Unknown

Super Mario Galaxy 2 - Final Bowser Battle

Super Smash Bros. Brawl - Tabuu 

Crash Twinsanity - The Evil Twins (Yes, I'm serious. Twinsanity had some GREAT music!)

Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story: Final Battle

Sonic The Hedgehog (2006) - Solaris Phase 2 (Yeah, yeah, yeah, the game was awful. But it did get one part right: The music.)

Long-ass list, I know. Yet I still feel like I'm forgetting something...
