What If We Didn’t Need Final Boss Theme-Songs?

Garrett Glass from TheKoalition writes:
The boss battle theme is the auditory signal that shit is about to get real in a video game. It is the theme that is guaranteed to be covered in a metal style, soon to be uploaded to You Tube for all to enjoy. The boss theme is second only to the final boss theme, which, if composed correctly, heightens the emotional tension in the final conflict. But what if the final boss didn’t require a final boss theme to obtain the desired effect?

Gotta say some of the best and some of the most iconic game music are boss themes. Its some those tunes that stay with you. Gotta love them.

I LOVED the music in this Outland Boss fight. Made me feel heroic like no other game this gen!

ElectroJade4065d ago

I remember playing a boss fight in Heavenly Sword where the music was peaceful and calm. It was very weird, but it added so much more to the game. I definitely want to play Walking Dead now. I don't think I've ever experienced a silent boss fight!

rbailey4065d ago

The boss battle music sequences in Metal Gear Rising are pretty badass. Of course, everyone won't agree but there is no denying that the music in boss battles definitely enhances the experience.

I agree that I won't agree :)

TheOneWhoIsTornApart4065d ago

Sorry but i just couldn't accept not having One Winged Angel and Dancing Mad. Final boss themes define the very essence of those characters.

N0S3LFESTEEM4065d ago

I usually focus on killing said bad guy instead of listening to the trendy beat going on in the background. I usually don't notice the music unless I'm forced to listen to it and nothing else like in skyrim or the wub wub in Farcry 3... which I hate dubstep with a passion now.

FFVI is a timeless classic, surely one of the best games ever created.

_Decadent_Descent17d ago

I really do wish they'd give it the FF7R treatment.

phoenixwing17d ago

Ff6 is probably the most deserving for that

Cacabunga17d ago

Octopath traveller or Star Ocean remake treatment would fit it better i think

FinalFantasyFanatic16d ago

I'd rather it play more or less the same by have the 3D chibi graphics from Ever Crisis, I don't want them to change the story like they did with FF7R.

Wish they still made them like this, obviously with a graphic update.

I have yet to play her FF game but the figure for 11k and it looks great the amount of detail. If I had the cash I would grab it and possibly the life size T-800 statue and the giant Devastator figure as well.

_Decadent_Descent725d ago

Easily the best FF. It deserves a remake.

Furesis725d ago

6 always seemed cool to me. I couldn't really get into it because how old the game was (i know i'm sorry) but i always wanted to experience it. Honestly i wanted a 6 remake more than 7(i dont feel 7 needed one tbh) but seeing how 7 remake is i don't think i would have wanted a game like that anyways. Something like ff x style with pre rendered backrounds or just fixed camera and turn based with modern graphics would be a dream come true for me. But i think it shall remain a dream unfortunately.

RedDevils725d ago

Better than 7 imo. 7 fanboy gonna hate me for saying so suck on it lol
