I meant regular battle themes but it does not hurt to share your favorite boss battle theme.
I really like this one:
For a thread on RPG battle themes, I only saw one mention of the series with the best of them: Etrian Odyssey
Dragon's Dogma
Reminds me of Conan sound track, It picks up in speed and intensity when a monster's about to die and makes you feel like a superhero

I've never played any Etrian Odyssey game but that theme from EOIV is great!!
Didn't know that Yuzo Koshito was the composer.
Forever in love with Grandia 2 and FF9's default battle themes. Some others that left an impression on me:
Its not JRPG duh /s
Love Ancient Leshen theme thanks to MHWorld collab.

Divinity Original Sin.
Great thread! Since Leap the Precipice and both Saga Frontiers have been posted...
I also think a large chunk of the Live a Live OST fits here, but I'll limit myself to just these two!

I came in to post Baten Kaitos and Valkyrie Profile themes but it looks like my job is already done here.

Stab the Sword of Justice is awesome!! Really liked the recent collab with Persona too.
Even though SO4 is not praised by everyone, I really like some tracks:

This one is nice too, had a really fun time trying to beat the game when I was a kid
Here's a live version of VP's battle theme (haven't watched this before)

Maybe Phantasy Star 4's theme isn't that great, it kinda grew on me playing the game.
Couldn't like Grandia Xtreme to be honest but the battle themes were good.

Here's another one from my list:
And this one is not a regular battle theme but I really like it

I've never played any LoH game but that theme sounds really good
It's a great series, this is my favorite track though its a boss track rather than regular battle theme :)
2:00 ❤
You know a soundtrack's going to be good when this is in the prologue
i love this boss theme as well, sounds like something out of Ys
This and the second-to-last boss theme are all-time greats.
Great thread. Agreed on the picks from Golden Sun and the Xenoblade games, but the two Mass Effect 2 tracks reminded me how much I love that game. I'm seriously considering finding the time to play it again on the back of this, but nobody posted my favourite combat music from ME2:
I'd have played Mass Effect 2 indefinitely if they just kept expanding it with episodic expansions as good as Stolen Memories, Overlord and Lair of the Shadow Broker.
My favourite recent combat music in RPGs definitely comes from the Fire Emblem games - especially in terms of final boss music. Twilight of the Gods and God-Shattering Star are really quite something:
But I really love Chasing Daybreak, one of the post-timeskip battle themes in Three Houses, which really helped me feel like the stakes were well and truly raised by this point in the game. Both the Rain (map view) and Thunder (battle scene) arrangements are great:

Here's another one (yeah, I like the VP series lol)
That's a great one, it has an epic feel to it.

You're looking cool!!!
came here to make sure no one posted the nightmare that is dq11. I stopped playing bc of it
Not played FE since the GC, I really like this track though thanks.
Falcom music is just great though, Ys is no exception. The re ent games have field music rather than battle music but even so...
