Greatest final boss theme?

[PurkinjeFiber]

Essence of Metroid Prime battle.


One of my favorite boss fight themes: Thardus from Metroid Prime. It isn't the final boss, but it has my favorite boss fight theme in the game.

I have a lot more, but I don't feel like sitting here for hours.

To me it will always be this

*AHEM*
Na, I don't disagree, considering both of the final bosses represented the same damn thing. They were both pretty fucking awesome.

It's good but i've always felt sonic adventure 2 had the stronger soundtrack...

Sadly I haven't played it. I only own a PC But I agree, the soundtrack is awesome!

How on earth has nobody posted Dancing Mad yet?

Mad Moxxi - Boss wave. From Borderlands. Look it up on youtube, I've completely forgotten how to link it to the escapist.

I tohugh the final battle theme for 3 was Burn My Dread,it's been a while since I've played 3 so my memory is a little fuzzy. Either way they all kick ass

surprised i'm first to put this up...

It's pretty good, though I prefer this one:



It just makes him seem so evil.

This fighter got it right. BlazBlue CS, Ragna vs. Hazama

I nominate the last boss of the first Shadow Hearts. A fairly obscure entry, but one very dear to my heart.

Nothing from Megaman?

You'd probably be surprised just how well this works in context. It's still fun to listen to on its own, though!

I see someone beat me to this one. Well, there's still-

The music for Mountain of Faith in general is beautiful and this one takes the cake:

Oh. I suppose Shadow of the Colossus is pretty g-

Getting a bit old here, guys. Oh well, here's one no one's going to know. Tor, from Iji, my favourite freeware game-

Why must you rob me of originality so? Oh well. As long as I'm being the same as everyone else anyway: I agree with you completely. Real shame to see how few games put effort into their music today and, to an even greater extent, the decline of boss fights.



Now then, two remixes and the (also rather nice) EO3 final boss theme - but not post-endgame boss - just so I look somewhat relevant.

Spoiler: music at last!

A remix of Kanako's theme, as posted by hopeneverdies.


A remix of Border of Life, posted by Leet.


The EO3 final boss theme.

Lastly, yes, the song in the first post is incredible. Honestly, most of the music here is.

I know its an online flash game but still its amazing music and fits the boss well.

These two are my personnal favourites-

 

[Katana314]

Another indie title!

And while I don't think it's as awesome as my previous two, yet another indie final boss. (The boss has not one, not two, but five phases; the music translates between each as it goes a bit abruptly)

Fall [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LlGCvq5Rqj4&fmt=18], from Armored Core 4. Also known as Seed A Barren Earth.

It's tense. It's dramatic. It knows everything is at stake. It also feels somewhat desperate, as you fight out of conviction rather than love. Appropriate, given that the final enemy is a man who's been your friend throughout the entire game.

"Hey...I guess there's little need for words."
All too true, Joshua.

I know Doomsday Zone could be considered to be the final boss aswell, but I prefer this theme.

This has always been my favorite Final Boss theme, especially considering what it takes to get there as a kid.

While these two are great, I always preferred Sonic 2's final boss theme.
