You've got good taste. And thanks for linking that Kanako remix.

Likewise. I suggest you take a look at Tutti Sound (and, lately, Oriens), by the way. Fantastic remixes.

Dancing Mad - Final Fantasy 6.

17 minutes of goodness and is one of the primary reasons I love instrumental music to this day.

This is just awesome final boss music
for a remix of the opening theme it is just plain awesome to listen to

Another one of my favorites is from Digital Devil Saga 2. Here it is for your listening pleasure.


It's quite the song, especially during the battle itself.

Can't believe I forgot to post this one earlier:


And this one:


While Porky isn't technically the final boss of Mother 3, he's the last serious fight, because the battle with the Masked Man isn't really much of a 'fight' per se.

Also, this:


And all of these:

Spoiler: This is a lot of videos.

All of them rank right up there. Anyone who says that video game music isn't awesome needs to listen to every song on this thread. Yes, even the remixes, proving that gamers can still be creative. ...Don't take that last part as an excuse to derail the thread; I like final boss music!

The problem with Okuu is, nobody can reach her. Nobody.

Here is my contribution:


I love fighting this boss just to hear the music

 

[Kitteh]

the battle with gruntilda from banjo kazooie. it rocks.

 

[Cobelo]

Culex's theme from Super Mario RPG.
Not the last boss, but certainly a bastard to fight even at high levels.

Ironically that song is almost exactly like FFIV's boss theme.

Spoiler

I do agree with you though, Culex was an utter ***** to fight, even at high level.

OT: FFIV's Zeromus theme.

Resident Evil 2

In my case, at lest, it's because I'm not especially fond of Nuclear Fusion compared to some other themes in the series.

Another one of my favorites is from Digital Devil Saga 2. Here it is for your listening pleasure.

Well, that was pretty excellent. Now, what can I get... ah yes, this one, from phase 2 of the "real" final boss from Treasure of the Rudras.

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.

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

Yeah, the rap version. Just like I think of Mist/Fog as the better boss theme, and people don't think Sephiroth's theme is the song that plays after One Winged Angel, the real final boss theme was The Battle for Everyone's Souls.

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

mother f***ing /thread
any other answers are now invalid

 

[Signa]

It wasn't a final boss, but damn I thought it was the first time I fought him.

 

[zeldafan1593]

I'd personally go with the Ganondorf fight from The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker

Actually, I've never been a huge fan of One Winged Angel I know, it's blasphemy. I appreciate it for its influence on gaming music, and I'm not saying it's a bad song, because it isn't. But it's definitely not one of my favorites. Quite honestly, I'm more of a Dancing Mad kinda guy. Has anyone posted that btw? If not I probably should, just in case. But seriously, is there any song that can't be improved by incredible amounts of organ?


Edit: Okay, someone did post it but not with a fancy youtube picture, and two others mentioned it but didn't post it. So I'll leave it up anyway

 

[Bebus]

All very good songs. But I have yet to hear one with the sheer heart wrenching awesome of this.


Ok, not quite a final boss theme (more like an approach to final boss theme) but I thought this was much more of an ending than the actual boss!
