ITT: Final Boss Fight themes that aren't just thrilling and memorable, but evoke the feeling that everything you've been doing since the game's opening hours have been leading to this moment

I don't really know what you're talking about, but here's an awesome final boss theme.

Sonic Adventure's buttrock is still super strong to me

I still think DMC 3 is the perfectly example of perfect pacing and build up of a rival character in story and game-play.

snake eating the horizon does a good job of this. especially in the homestretch of the battle.

I was so surprised with this song, it seems so unlike the rest of the music in FFX. But it worked well in the background when I was fighting jecht with regular leveled characters. Made it so intense!

Then I learned to power level and FFX became easy.

[Logan Jones]

Shadowlord theme.

wew lad, this soundtrack in general.

[Jaxson Reed]

Sort of cheating, but since he was built up to be the final boss the whole time, it still feels like a suitable theme.

Say what you want about the game, but the OST was awesome.

[Nolan Torres]

My nigga.

I fought this boss when I was outside in the pouring rain at midnight. It added to the atmosphere so damn much. As soon as Toriel's theme kicked in, I swear I flipped shit inside.

[Joshua Bennett]

Honestly the high point of both games for me. It really felt like it was that "climactic moment" the entire game had been building towards. Xillia 2's is also great but the fight itself just couldn't match up to the previous fights in the game, let alone the end boss of 1.

[Hudson Butler]

This one does it for me. My dick still gets hard remembering my first encounter with it.

[Wyatt Phillips]

Can be considered final boss theme?

Basically any final boss theme that incorporates the main theme whether it is just literally it or a remix nails it for me.

offtopic, but it would certainly be the best track in the game if Devils Never Cry wouldn't exist

This one gave me fucking goosebumps the first time I fought it.
youtube.com/watch?v=jikvlI1ZvSU
>0:00 to 11:05 are the main fight
>11:06 changes to be a remix of the game's theme when he's low on health

While not a final boss, it was still hype as fuck the first time.

The hours spent trying to get to both of these guys are a real fucking pain. But the music was worth it.

shame the actual fight wasn't that hard

[Ian Walker]

>evoke the feeling that everything you've been doing since the game's opening hours have been leading to this moment

The beginning of this song

[Jack Russell]

Oh that reminds me

Should I download Umineko? I really want to, but I feel like it would be against my better judgement (I'm not in the best place right now in life, and something tells me the last thing I need in my life at the moment is something else to get addicted to.)

Suggestions?

[Kevin Thomas]

Dunno why you included the first song next to the 11/10 silver theme, fire red/leaf green OST is horrible

Anyway out of god tier OST's this is probably the very best even though the fight itself was shit

Definitely Rance. kichikuou and Sengoku especially.
Rough Edge in kichikuou is one of the best moments I've had in a game ever.
youtube.com/watch?v=O43vXMcYz-g
And near the end of it, a decade after Kichikou and several games later, they bring it back and remix the original tunes for Rebirth the Edge in Sengoku.
youtube.com/watch?v=bEj1Xz49WsI

Of course, Rance is almost mainstream at this point. Sengoku more so than kichikuou though. But actually playing these in order really left you feeling it.

[Ryder Taylor]

Link stabbing ganondorf in the face made a lasting impact on me when I was a kid so I may be biased here

Like another user said, I like when the final boss theme is a remixed theme from earlier so I love this
youtube.com/watch?v=zpPnEwZiDno
and this
youtube.com/watch?v=JMtRysYUoF8
I think most of the Layton games do this as well, although they don't really have a "final boss fight."

+1 the p3 final boss theme.
Ironically I think this is the best final boss music for p4 rather than any of the true final boss music.

[Jackson Bennett]

youtube.com/watch?v=2J7tpDGq4GI

[Nathan Bell]

I suppose if you didn't fight Izanami then yes

P3's final boss has one of my favorite boss themes and is one of my favorite final boss battles overall.

Xillia 2's final boss theme was amazing, though I remember thinking the boss was somewhat lackluster.

>literally every song posted has japanese developers except for undertale

Seriously, why are the japs so much better at final bosses than westerners?

Stop proving me wrong right as I'm making my post. I guess something of note is that every western game listed here is an indie game.

[Owen Collins]

If theres one thing Destiny did right it was the OST. The Last Array is my favorite with this as a close second.

Damn that's fucking slick.

I just wish the game didn't look so incomprehensible to get into. I don't think I could ever play it with any level of understanding.

Gotta say that I loved both phases of Xenoblade's final boss. It was truly a perfect way to end that game. Xenoblade X's final boss really disappointing me -- kinda didn't feel much like a final boss to me.

The themes for champions are always so good. This one in particular really felt greate when I was powering through the elite 4 in Y underleveled and made it to Diantha.

Firing Marty was the stupidest thing they could have ever done, you can feel his absence in the taken king soundtrack like a gaping wound, the fight songs are still good but the main themes are so lackluster compared to vanilla

>Music of the spheres will never be released

Have another awesome "everything lead to this" track

I only just now started playing FF9 but I gotta say the Final Boss theme is fantastic.

youtube.com/watch?v=bahMeycMihw&list=PL8q2b-XwaZZMfciAUY29i-wlwIXLQBdnA&index=130

The moaning at the start is quite appropriate since I would imagine Grand Cross is cheap as fuck.

[James Jones]

youtube.com/watch?v=3V9zxXN1rx0

I let Gehrman kill me in the first playthrough, but when I figured out that he was doing it to 'save' you, I couldn't help but feel for him when I had to do the obligatory opposite ending on my second playthrough. Even worse when you find out that the dream was possibly his fault.

[Liam Cruz]

Mark my words: Fffffuck greymon.

[Ian Cox]

Really enjoyed this theme. Too bad his EQ dumped for TD4 and Profound Darkness

how about one that encompasses the entire series up to that point:

Too bad he (and all but three other final bosses in fire emblem) is ridiculously easy

[Jace Watson]

>sinister remix of the main theme

The best.

[Chase White]

Honestly, while I love it, Finale trumps every other boss battle theme in the game.

Hopes and Dreams/SAVE The World are both good too, but nothing has ever captured that "turning the tables" feel for me in pretty much any game ever as much as Finale did.
