Title: Awesome Video Game Music Thread. Current Themes: "Snow" and "Festival"
Post by: pokepal148 on November 14, 2018, 02:16:46 PM
I suppose we'll start this off with the music for the Caedus fight in Monster Hunter Tri (which returns in Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate although due to the expanded singleplayer content it's no longer the final boss..) The fight itself is unfortunately a bit of a wash (pun intended) but it really sells you on the idea that the Caedus is some kind of mythical legendary creature in a way that none of the other elder dragons have been able to. It's really impressive.
It will be about 800 years before I reach the end of Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 days at the rate i'm going and that's a real shame because thanks to my primary exposure to the series being through a riff of the bizarre machinima they did of the game's storyline for one of the compilations i've already been spoiled on the entire thing and one of the commentators made certain to mention that the game's final boss theme is excellent. He was right.
The final boss theme for Link's Awakening is extremely unsettling in a good way. It's really good and holds up today.

The recent Kirby games have really nailed it. The final bosses have been insanely epic and the music has been one of the reasons why.
The most recent game, Star Allies goes from this.
to this
then the final phase of the fight when we see the final boss true form and realize this creature is somehow related to Kirby, we get this.
Lets not forget the madness of Planet Robots final boss
Phase One
Phase Two
Phase Three
And the last phase that only happens if you're playing on the True Arena
Might as well bring Triple Deluxe since it really nailed it as well.
Phase One
Phase Two
Final Phase

Here's two I beat this year: The Last Story's final boss theme (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kt809kr0jQo) feels rather disconnected from the rest of the more orchestral soundtrack. It's appropriate given the setting though. Spent a LOT of time listening to this one since it took me well over an hour to beat the final boss. The weird grunting and screeching noises kinda make it creepier.
And Donkey Kong Country Returns was even tougher and way more frustrating. This song (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2nDqEgT3Oqk) though feels like it fell right out the Metroid Prime soundtrack folder over at Retro. Cool tune.

Ghetsis in Pokémon Black and White is the leader of Team Plasma and also ends up serving as the game's Final Boss. He basically drops any pretense of being a decent human being once you foil his plans and reveals himself to be a complete psycopath who gives a really fucked up verbal beatdown to one of the characters before battling you with his very well balanced team of extremely powerful pokemon. Basically the only line he doesn't cross is that he doesn't attempt to outright murder someone (and he totally tries to murder your character in Black 2 and White 2 so he certainly isn't above that kind of thing.)
Basically Ghetsis is pretty much just an irredeemable piece of **** and his battle music reflects that.

Here's one that I think more people should listen to since the game wasn't as popular and a certain glitch in the North American version made it impossible for some to even get to this fight.
Pandora's Tower
Such a beautiful song that you don't usually hear as a boss theme in games. It fits the mood of the final fight perfectly when you realize the whole thing is about love. You're trying to save the woman you love, but the main villain you're fighting is doing what she's doing because of love as well. It makes the whole thing rather tragic despite its happy sound.

Monster Hunter is basically rapidly reaching the heights of great video game soundtracks like Castlevania and Ace Attorney. It's really good.

Can't go wrong with the "Snowman" track from Earthbound

And the Brawl remix for good measure

Kirby's Epic Yarn has a few tracks that have a very winter feel to them.
