The best of the best: Final Boss music~

Who doesn't love a good final boss fight? Especially if the music really makes it epic as all heck. That's what I'm here to cover today xD Or night. Whatever. Obviously if I'm doing this, there could be spoilers in the description. I'll keep 'em to a minimum though. Just have to give fair warning though. So lets get this started~ In no particular order as always:



Skies of Arcadia~ Final Battle (Opportunity)
Alright, this music is epic as all heck and full of awesomeness. Seriously. The fight itself is pretty epic too. Course if you love the game as much as me you'd say the same thing. But no one does love this game more than me xD One really interesting aspect about battle themes in SoA is that they change depending on your health. The music becomes really intense and fearful if someone dies or alot of your party's health is low. And it becomes really triumphant and upbeat if everyone's health is peachy and you get the enemy's health low. I think it's a really nice touch and all the boss themes do this. Just makes battles in this game more epic feeling than they already are~

Tales of the Abyss~ Finish the Promise
Yeah, the dang fight with Van had like 3 different themes in it. Time to Raise the Cross, A Place in the Sun, and this. Time to Raise the Cross is freakin' epic too but I actually like this one a bit more. Both are awesome. Heck all three are and really made this fight awesome for me. And the ending to follow~ Love this game.

Star Ocean: Till the End of Time~ Highbrow
Yeah, I'll tell you right now this final boss theme stretches on for 10 minutes straight. And I don't mean looping. That's just how long it is. Maybe they did it because they know you'll actually spend enough time in the actual boss fight to listen to it ^^; And that's no joke either. Unless you used item creation like crazy. On Galaxy mode not so much but you go into this fight on Universe or 4D mode (the two hardest difficulties in the game) you will listen to most of this music. I guarantee it. It's dang good music though. For an awesome final boss fight that's actually challenging even on normal difficulty. Kudos to you Luther. You have kicked my butt quite a few times I must say. Insanity Prelude. That's all I have to say. Hardest attack of his to dodge and instant gameover usually if you don't. Then you get to listen to him say "Wallow in despair!" after you die.

Persona 4~ The Genesis
Yes, I know I listed this one with the Best of the Best video game music post but it had to be mentioned in this too. It's just that awesome. It's quite a challenging fight anyways and this music just really turned on the epic factor. Even if the final boss is quite um, ugly xD But yeah, how this fight ends is just wow. I mean, you do get her Hp down to zero but then the game ends it in an awesome way. Definitely gotta give credit to that.

Ar tonelico 2: Melody of Metafalica~ Sublimation 3
Alright, so this wasn't the hardest boss fight ever. Like at all ^^; And this isn't what most people expect from a final boss fight theme but dang if it isn't awesome. I love it so much. Course I have alot of love for Infel too xD Not as much as Luca of course~ Anyways, I thought this hymn was really nice for the last fight in this game. They had some crazy stuff with Sublimation 1 and 2 before that then they slowed it down with this one. It just seemed fitting to me really.

And with 5 that wraps it up for this one~ Been a while since I made a post but with college it's just not that easy ^^; I still need to make that GU volume 2 post at some point too. But looks like I'll beat volume 3 before that happens xD If so then who cares. I'll just do a final post about everything. Anyways, until next time~

The best of the best: Video game music~

Alright, I've been thinking of new ideas to add life to my blog. Posts I can do and stuff like that. So, every now and then I'm going to post these little thingies called "The best of the best" in some category of my choosing. These are my opinion type of things obviously. Not going on general consensus or something like that. And it's fun to learn new things about people, right? ^^

So, lets start with video game music, shall we~? I got the idea for today because I was playing Donkey Kong Country 2 and was reminded of just how utterly amazing the music is in that game. But for this I'm only choosing one song from a game. Otherwise this could get rather long ^^; Even though it's hard to choose sometimes. Anyways, lets begin. And this is in no particular order. Just how they come to mind.

Donkey Kong Country 2~ Stickerbrush Symphony
Alright, this right here is just one amazing piece of music. I do know that many other people would agree with me on this one. Just from reading and listening to stuff on the internet. But anyways, if you have time I highly recommend giving this a listen. I don't even know what it is about it that makes it so good to me but why try to explain it? It's just awesome. Period.

Ar tonelico: Melody of Elemia~ Phantasmagoria
Yeah, okay, I could have listed like a bunch of music from this game I love. But I'm sticking to only picking one song ^^; And this is my favorite from this game. I still remember beating this game for the first time and listening to this song. I freakin' loved it. Tis amazing just like the game itself.

Ar tonelico 2: Melody of Metafalica~ EXEC_VIENA/.
The same goes for this game that I said above. Way too much good stuff to choose from. But this song will always stick with me. It plays during my favorite scene in the game and is sung by one of my favorite characters ever. I am expecting good things AT3 xD You better represent. Whenever I play you someday.

Tales of the Abyss~ Overflowing Emotions, Reunion
Yeah, one thing you'll notice alot of times is my favorite music from games is connected to my favorite scenes. And this one comes straight from the ending of this game. Which I loved. And Luke is another one of my favorite characters ever~ The title speaks for itself and it does convey alot of emotion.

Skies of Arcadia~ Epilogue
Yeah, yeah, where to start ^^;; Cuz this is my favorite game ever in so many categories. So hard to choose... Ahem. But yeah, this plays at the end of the game obviously and this game had an awesome, amazingly wonderful ending. How could I not love this music when I picture it in my head whenever I hear it? So yeah, I think that explains that.

Super Mario RPG~ Forest Maze
It's freaking catchy as heck xD I love this music. Besides, it's in this forest that you get Geno~ And Geno is awesome beyond words. I wanted him to be Brawl so bad but alas it didn't happen. Anyways, tis an amazing game to boot too.

Persona 4~ The Genesis
Final boss music ahoy~ Seriously, it's freakin' awesome. I remember enjoying this music so much. And the final boss was no push over. Just made things more epic. The very end is what I love the most. If you listen to it all the way you'll know what I mean.

Final Fantasy IX~ You Are Not Alone
The second of only two FF games I've ever beaten. And nothing will ever beat this one as my favorite. I love it so much. The title of the music speaks for itself and the scene it plays at in the game.

Legend of Legaia~ Cave of Warmth
Man, I love this game too~ And I remember you first meet Noa in this cave. And Noa is adorable. Period. So yeah, this music reflects this very well I must say xD

Radiata Stories~ Tekuteku Aruku: Karaoke Version
Ah, this game was so silly~ But it was a good game. No joke. It had its own charm that just can't be duplicated. Anyways, this is the ending music. Just the music. There is a vocal version but I like this better.

And I think that'll about do it. That's 10 so I think I should stop there. All these games I listed have incredible music anyways so I'll leave it at that. I hope this was at least slightly entertaining ^^; Or interesting. Anyways, until next time when I come up with another topic~
