Best Video Game Music?

[Sandy]

Can someone give me some good recommendations? Ex: One Winged Angel....

 

[demoncaterpie]

Treasure games always had great boss battle music, like Gunstar Heroes and Mischief Makers.

Kingdom Hears would be another one. Killer 7's pretty good too.

Than you have the classic ones, but I'll let other people mention those

Donkey Kong 64 has some good boss tunes.
The tune that plays while you are fighting Metroid Prime (first Prime) is also pretty good.
The first two times you encounter Bowser in Mario 64 has cool music.
My favourite boss tune is when you fight Bowser in Mario Bros. 3.

I will edit this post if I remember more.

 

[NiRV7iQ]

Omg gunstar heroes=too good

 

[Beelzenef]

My vote goes to Saturos's Theme from Golden Sun.

That game had some sick battle themes...

 

[Marthmaster92]

Dark Messenger from Final Fantasy 9, and Otherworld from Final Fantasy 10. Easily the 2 best final fantasy themes besides one winged angel.

personally i think Dark Messenger is the better than otherworld........both are downloadable tho.

 

[Teebs]

Maybe I'm A Lion from Final Fantasy 8 is an awesome boss song. I can also agree with Dark Messenger.

Also, I enjoy Chrono Trigger's Boss Theme because it has a nice fast paced tune.

 

[Link Sharingan]

banjo & Kazooie Grutilda battle was epic

 

[Evil Eye]

The boss music from Syphon Filter 2 > all. I'll try to find you a link.

 

[demoncaterpie]

banjo & Kazooie Grutilda battle was epic

LOL. The music was great in that game!

 

[Neo-X]

At the Time of Farewell, from Tales of the Abyss..Time to Raise the Cross, from Tales of the Abyss, Leon ~Victim of Fate~ from Namco x Capcom, Meaning of Birth, Tales of the Abyss, Finish The Promise, Tales of the Abyss, The 13th Struggle, Kingdom Hearts II, and Fight Tune "Girl Named Shelke", from FF7:Dirge of Cerberus. Those are the best ones I can think of!

Boss Music u say?

Devil May Cry 3: Vergil Battle 2

Tekken Tag Tournament: Ogre Stage

F- Zero: Emperor Breath ------> Yeah man u gotta listen to this one. It's sooo tight! http://gh.ffshrine.org/song/818/74

 

[ZoSo]

Dancing Mad.

Why is everybody so hung up on One-Winged Angel?

 

[Lumancer]

Because Sephiroth pwns all. But aside from that...


Call me weird, but I REALLY enjoyed the boss music in the original Mario and Luigi: The Superstar Saga. That first Cackletta battle, with the accordion and pipe organ music, that was awesome.

 

[Stryks]

Megaman 2, Dr. wily and bubleman beat absolutely ANY boss music...

*goes into the battle just to listen to the music*


yeah, that was some sweet music too!

 

[0rion]

^^Alright alright, I'll agree wit chu Stryks on that man!

Oh and fellas, try Shin Akuma's "Groan" boss soundtrack. It's kicka$$ $on! http://gh.ffshrine.org/song/1721/24

 

[WoodyWiggins]

Feckin' Threads of Fate, Ape Escape, Legend of Legaia(1 and 2), Suikoden 2 and Vagrant Story. Kirby 64 and Ape Escape are in my top 5 of "soundtracks you must hear before you die" list. Play the game all the way through and you'll appreciate the soundtrack(s) more.

The Battle of Final Destiny (Giygas Theme) from EarthBound:
http://gh.ffshrine.org/song/4155/67

Reminds me of a Linkin Park song for some reason...

 

[Teebs]

Three other songs I'd like to include are JENOVA from Final Fantasy VII and I can't remember the name of the song when you fight Judge Ghis in Final Fantasy XII, but that was also an awesome song, and Premonition from Final Fantasy 8.

 

[Wobbles]

ZoSo: Dancing Mad is utter win. I also found The Decisive Battle to be pretty fantastic as well. I only wish it were longer. However, FF6 Advance updated most of the music and did it pretty well without--I felt--sacrificing the original feel, and the newer version made me pretty happy. Can't wait to hear the rest of the sound-track in updated form.

And the music for the final operation in Trauma Center for the Wii was pretty incredible, I thought. It was a fast paced, strange ambient piece with epic guitar and piano lines. The only downside is that the operation is long as hell, but the song is relatively short, so it winds up looping a lot. That gets a little irritating after awhile.

 

[GenoBlast]

Ok, this isn't really a boss track but the music at the end of Lufia II right before the boss is pretty awesome.
http://www.vgmusic.com/music/console/nintendo/snes/luf2fod3.mid <---Listen even if you've never played the game before. I swear Lufia has one of the best soundtracks of any game out there, and is incredibly underrated.

and before I get flammed for not posting my favorite boss track. Id have to say Lufia's is pretty badass.
here are the 2 boss tracks
Boss: http://www.vgmusic.com/music/console/nintendo/snes/luf2boss.mid
End Boss: http://www.vgmusic.com/music/console/nintendo/snes/Luf2btl3.mid
Wish I could find better versions of each track

 

[Sandy]

You mean Lufia on the GBA? Here's the soundtrack in mp3 format: http://gh.ffshrine.org/soundtracks/383

 

[Lixivium]

"Dancing Mad" >>>>>> "One-Winged Angel"

I've always really liked "World Revolution":

I didn't like the Core music as much though.

Also, "Gravity" from Cave Story.

I'm talking about Lufia II for the SNES. I have the soundtrack on my comp. just too lazy to post them

I guess this is a good place to bring this up. The entire FFVII soundtrack has been remixed and you can download it from this site.

[Mr. Ocax]

Gangplank Galleon is one of my favorites.

 

[LUVTOY77-ROGUE WIREFRAME]

Banjo Tooie and DK64 boss music=best of all time! Has any one heard the remixes of Banjo kazooie in boss form? Those are excellant as well!! Mad Monster Mansio boss remix is incredible! haha

 

[Weed]

The Paper Mario final boss theme (Bowser) has to be my favourite

 

[GenoBlast]

Ah i forgot to mention fighing Lumine's second form in megaman x8. that track is very good aswell

 

[Luke Groundwalker]

Dancing Mad or any boss music from Mother.

One-winged Angel is very sh-tty. Fits perfectly for an equally sh-tty character, though.

 

[Smo]

OWA.... Maybe I'm a Lion... FFVIII's sorceress battle (i forget the name)...

 

[Teebs]

OWA.... Maybe I'm a Lion... FFVIII's sorceress battle (i forget the name)...

The FFVIII sorceress battle is called Premonition.

 

[mario-man]

As far as BOSS music goes, I don't really know. I guess the best that I can remember is Sonic 3.

If you're talking about regular game music, I'd have to say SM64 or DK64. SF64 also has good music.

 

[Sandy]

I changed the topic title. No longer restricted to Boss music..

 

[ihatemybrother]

Goof troop. I give it the award for best sound. I love when you throw a pot at your friend and it breaks. The boss music is also phenomenal. Goof Troop had awesome pirate and cannon sounds. The opening of the door sound was really rewarding, "Clink"

*Digs up old Snes and hugs it*

 

[Junpappy]

Those who fight further - FFVII
To Zanarkand - FFX
Simple and Clean - Kingdom Hearts

There are also some **** good oc remixes of songs from OoT.

 

[Teebs]

Aerith's Theme (FFVII)
Those Who Are Called By The Planet (FFVII)

[Zjiin]

Favorite boss music : FF4/Culex music

(22222good)

[LUVTOY77-ROGUE WIREFRAME]

Hailfire Peaks music from Banjo Tooie is awesome. Also, DKC2 final fght with K. Rool is sweet.
