What is the best final boss track of all time, and why it's "It Has To Be This Way" from MGR

[EVA UNIT 01]

Chrono trigger world revolution.

 

[Wireframe]

Agree with OP. MGR in general has an amazing OST.

 

[ThisIsMyDogKyle]

Yeah the fight itself sucked but the music in Breath of the Wild's final boss is amazing. Guy on the piano going crazy.

 

[Strings]

Not the greatest game, but the final boss track from Lightning Returns is a 13 minute (hurr, did they do that on purpose >.>?) epic:




The final boss of Bravely Default also has an absolutely phenomenal theme:

 

[Master Chuuster]

Look, a Persona 3 thread

American Venom from RDR2



Making your way up that mountain with this song blaring in the background was incredible.

Not necessarily a final boss track, but heck yeah.

 

[Okabe]

I would agree with OP but then I beat DMC5 yesterday and yeah that song...whew

 

[Principate]

As a lot of my favorites have already been posted I'll post some of my favorite end of season bosses from Vindictus. I've long since stopped playing but the end boss tracks are still as great as ever.

No lies detected @ OP.

No one does hype like Platinum.

But yes you are correct, OP.

wrong yakuza game, but i understand your confusion

It's DMC 5's, easily, especially when the context of the lyrics is taken into consideration.

No spoilers from the video below other than the track itself but watch for recommended videos popping up with major spoilers in their thumbnails.

Came to post this. Good taste :D.

I like MGR as much as the next guy, but ok rock music paired with bad vocals doesn't do it for me.

As far as best final boss song, Dancing Mad is pretty much a cut above everything else given it's strong thematic composition in direct relation to Kefka and his journey as a villain.

 

[Het_Nkik]

Can't believe I get to be the one to post this. I doubt anything will ever top Grace & Glory for me.

 

[Htown]

Nah, it's Dancing Mad.

People who posted the Bravely Default boss theme are cool too.

This post wins.

Lightning Returns' final boss theme is 13 minutes of beautiful chaos. It's horrible, yet majestic.

 

[hydrophilic attack]

i think a case can be made for gwyn, lord of cinder

that's a track that tells a story all on its own

 

[Jessie]

This song literally kills you.
