in a complete switch from my last plurk can we talk about games where the song for the last fight/encounter are arguably the best songs in the soundtrack
ROCKSTAR
this was originally inspired by Hopes and Dreams (Undertale), which then got me thinking about Rivers in the Desert (P5) and Dancing Mad (FFVI)
ROCKSTAR
Weight of the World (nier:Automata) is debatable but only because that entire soundtrack is so good
TemporalWolf
Shepard-Cmdr
Do remixes count?
ROCKSTAR
Can't believe Uematsu was like "nah I'm not just writing a final boss theme I'm writing a final boss MOVEMENT"
ROCKSTAR
wingedbeastie: nothing doesn't count, everything is permitted
TemporalWolf
Uematsu is a mad genius
ROCKSTAR
admittedly Star Fox 64 fails this test but that because it has the theme of Star Wolf in it
TemporalWolf
Know what other series does final boss themes to the nines?
ROCKSTAR
*that's
TemporalWolf
Sanic
ROCKSTAR
YEAH and Open Your Heart is a jam too
TemporalWolf
Though I suppose the Adventure games cheats a bit, and makes the final encounter song more the overall theme of the game rather than the boss' theme.
TemporalWolf
...that said they're absolute bops and I don't care.

In Sonic Generations, hub music for Perfect Chaos is 👌🏾

Hub - Perfect Chaos - Sonic Generations Music Extend...
ROCKSTAR
I don't care if they reuse the main theme I still count it LOL
TemporalWolf
xD
ROCKSTAR
that's why Snake Eater gets on the list too
TemporalWolf
Fuck yes Snake Eater
ROCKSTAR
wingedbeastie: the entire generations soundtrack is so good
Shepard-Cmdr
Also, The Darkness of Eternity just building off of Kuja’s personal theme and the variations on the motif is just S-rank
ROCKSTAR
I actually don't think skies of Arcadia passes this test either... but that game also has too many good tracks
Shepard-Cmdr
Kuja exits Burmecia is the best. It makes me want an orchestral version of Darkness of Eternity so B A D
TemporalWolf

Jecht is absolutely the final boss of FFX, change my mind
TemporalWolf
And an absolute bop of a track from an OST that is amazing from beginning to end:

TemporalWolf
I love the DQ8 ost so much
TemporalWolf
And one that earns points just for being unexpected considering the rest of the soundtrack:
Devil May Cry 3 Soundtrack - Final Boss -
ROCKSTAR
oh and let's not forget metal gear rising
ROCKSTAR
ROCKSTAR
yeah that's right I think it's better than rules of nature
ROCKSTAR
dmc3's soundtrack is killer
TemporalWolf
Rules of Nature is a great song... but it's just the opening act.
ROCKSTAR
that's dmc in general except... DmC
TemporalWolf
Amen
ROCKSTAR
and I say this as someone who enjoyed playing DmC LMAO
TemporalWolf
Oh shit, I forgot about this one:
VS Lumine - 2nd Form - Megaman X8 Music Extended
TemporalWolf
Shepard-Cmdr
Okay, but on the subject of DmC, those soundtracks are FIRE
ROCKSTAR
dmc or DmC?

ROCKSTAR
bayooooOOOOOO
𝗕𝘂𝗻𝗻𝘆 𝗩𝗮𝗹𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗲
ok but also, while i'm here
TemporalWolf
You can throw the Bayo rendition of "Fly Me To The Moon" in that one too since it kinda hijacks the fight at the end
ROCKSTAR
UGH YES OKAMI though ushiwaka's dance is also fire
TemporalWolf
Oh, going back to the Sonic thing, I'm reminded of a popular sentiment that came out around the time Sonic Boom was still in everyone's minds.
𝗕𝘂𝗻𝗻𝘆 𝗩𝗮𝗹𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗲
fuck now i have to go and listen to The Entire Okami Soundtrack again

Phantasy Star 4 had some nice stuff, but The Profound Darkness had something that was so oddly catchy
Phantasy Star IV -44- Ooze
It's like someone tried to put death metal into the genesis sound chip or something. I love it.

HAHA THAT'S VALID to be fair I never listened to the tracks separated from the game, I'll listen later

I'M A FUCKING FOOL HOW DID I FORGET THE FINAL SONG!!!!
Solo Wing
I feel morally obligated to link this theme because its final battle consists of jousting in jet planes while Spanish guitar playing intensifies
