Well obviously if you ask "boss theme" I'm gonna talk about FFVII's boss theme

In-game version: the bass is freakin' awesome. I recently took up bass and have heard a hell of a lot of sweet bass riffs I'd never noticed before. Also after all the different translations I'd seen for its name I decided to look up the Japanese: "Sara ni tatakau monotachi" (sometimes it's "sarani" not "sara ni" but I don't know enough about Japanese to say which is right).

However, the Black Mages' version is more awesome in every other respect, simply for being done with actual instruments and not a MIDI keyboard. They nerfed its bass though, sadly.

There's also this version I did, based on the Black Mages' version, in Mario Paint Composer. However, this dates back to a time when I did not play bass and so I've got the bassline wrong so many times. YouTube - Those Who Fight Further - The Black Mages (in MarioPaint) I like this version very much lol egomania

Prelude: V. The string bit that bursts in at the usual time is less abrasive and deafening, mainly because it seems to be a full octave lower, so this is my favourite one.

Main FF Theme: IV. I love the intro to it. Nice to hear it redone in XII too!

Fanfare: IV. Has a nice marching rhythm to it.

Game Over: FFII.

Chocobo: Mambo de Chocobo (black from FFV)
