So in a totally random topic of the day, I got to talking about boss fight music in games.
And I decided it would be a good thing to blog about. This probably won't be a long post.
But half of what makes a boss fight memorable, IMO is the music that accompanies it. Sound overall plays a HUGE role in a game's delivery.
So, what are my top 3?
I am going to link to non-game play versions of these - as I try to be as spoiler free as I reasonably can be. That way if you play the game, you aren't ruined by seeing what happens.
That means that they might not be as pure as the MIDI in game sound is, but the impact should still be delivered:
Third on the list:
"Clash on the Big Bridge" - Theme from Final Fantasy 5. (I really need to play this game again soon)
Second on the list:
"One Winged Angel" - from Final Fantasy 7. A great game all around with an amazing ending.
And #1:
A recent contender, but deserving of the spot:
"Dark Samus" - from Metroid Prime 3. While listening to the music on this one you cannot fully appreciate it's awesomeness because what you don't see is the the boss's moves are timed to the music. It makes the whole experience VERY immersive.
So, what are your favorite boss fights/boss music?
Let me know!
