Oh, that's easy. I especially love it because it's so unusual, damned epic when it picks up past the 1 min mark too!
The final battles in FFVIII, but particularly the very last one
The final battle in MGS4 too, with the compilation of tracks from the four games.
Got to say, there are a lot of good tunes here, though they all seem to follow similar musical themes...

World of Warcraft's final boss theme blows all of these out of the water.
When it gets made. Until then, need I say more than that what I have in mind is the first result you get when you type in "final boss music" in the search bar of youtube (excluding the suggested videos)? The final boss and plot of the game itself weren't epic at all, so it didn't deserve such an epic final boss theme, but there you go. Just too bad the sound was generated with a DS. Most themes I see in this thread are just epic, but have little musical value. This theme has both.

From Iji, a freeware game.
None of that chanting vocals or awful lyrics stuff; just good, inspiring rock music that gives you the feel of a world just on the knife's edge of disaster (and appropriately, this battle takes place minutes before all of Earth is going to be nuked into oblivion)
I will agree with the OP that that music is really good. Might be relying a bit too much on the standard holy-chanting theme, but it has good rhythm.
Also: Trying to take the time to listen to most of the tracks here, but most are really good, so I'm not sure which to spend more of my time on...I like that so many of them have a certain buildup to the climactic portions of the fight. Works well for RPGs which tend to have some leading dialogue, or it takes a few turns of combat before you really feel the tension.
Goddamn, this makes me feel so tired of how most newer games, especially FPS's, haven't bothered giving you any sort of boss fight or even any large direct personal conflict with one character.

....and really really good.

Honestly one of my favorite games ever. The music was indeed badass (I think I have a soundtrack on my computer somewhere)rayen020 said:
