Coolest FINAL boss theme

[strawberryman]

What's your favorite final boss theme in Final Fantasy?
This only counts the ones that actually have one.

For me, i'd have to say FF5's. It just sounds way too cool.

(Considering I have'nt played quite a few of the FF's, I decided not to make a poll on this.)

One Winged Angel (FFVII). No question.

Also, although it's not FF, and I don't rank it as high as OWA, I've always enjoyed World Revolution, the final boss theme from Chrono Trigger.

I shouldn't even have to say it.

"World Revolution" is the second-to-last boss theme. The theme of the last battle is..."Last Battle."

One winged just never really did anything for me.
It was cool, but short lived.

[Kawaii Ryûkishi]

It's three minutes and seventeen seconds longer than "The Final Battle," from FFV.

Unless you meant something else by "short-lived."

I cant believe people are still hanging over OWA. I got sick of that song months ago. My vote goes to FFIXs Final Battle. I like its arranges (particularly by Hellion Sounds) the best though. Close with FFIVs Zeromus, but I like IXs better now. Actually, its stupid of me to forget Dancing Mad (which has way more credibility than One Winged Angel as far as writing goes, Dancing Mad is a baroque masterpiece and One Winged Angel is ....Carl Orff.) I am re-writing Dancing Mad for guitar now (I can already play it) , so maybe thats my favorite...@_@ i dunno. the best are IX, VI, IV, V, VII. In that order.
Also, Kawaii Ryûkishi, I think they meant short lived in its appeal, as it got repetitive or boring to them quickly.

"World Revolution" was part of the "final sequence." There will be no shortage of individuals mentioning "Maybe I'm a Lion" and the like, I'm sure.

Everyone's entitled to an opinion. And I think, should this thread get any considerable number of responses, OWA will be the predominant choice. As to Dancing Mad, it's a great piece; I just prefer OWA. For me, The Final Battle and Zeromus just don't stand out.

One Winged Angel. Without a doubt.

Off topic? yes, but "last battle" from Xenosaga I was brilliant.

Final Fantasy IIj's final battle theme sounded the best for me, and I mean the original FFIIj not the Origins or DoS remakes of it. It was high quality at the time and I think it still sounds pretty good even by todays standards, but what can I say, i'm a freak! FFVIII's "Extreme" was pretty good too. I liked how it started out quiet and mysterious, then goes to fast and exciting.

True. I guess I just wanted to mention World Revolution.

Yes, everyone will have thier opinions. I am not saying OWA is a bad song, but it does get repetitive musically (in my musically trained opinion), wheras Dancing Mad explores a gamut of keys, styles, and time signature changes. Its variation is refreshing as compared to OWAs loop. Of course, I think almost arranged version of FF songs are better, and the Dancing Mad versions are stellar. (not talking about the Black Mages version, although it is good) Zeromus as well, and Final Battle are expressed very well in thier arranged versions.
http://www.ssh.ne.jp/mp3/ff4579.zip here is a link to Live House SSHs Last battle medley. The first part SEEMS to be OWA, but it is actually Rhapsody's Ira Tenax and Warrior of Ice. The rest is FFV, IV, and IX last battle. Rock. Oh, and World Revolution is a great song. Everything is more fun when you can play it on guitar in fact.

Aye. I just meant, it was cool at first, but I moved on.
The FF5 one was just way too cool.

One Winged Angel doesn't do it for me like it used to, but during the battle itself it can really set the mood. Dancing Mad, on the other hand, I find easier to listen to, but during the battle it doesn't get me into it as much.

FFV's is probably the least memorable for me, along with its regular boss theme.

I haven't read all of these posts...but I really like Ultimecia's battle theme in her last form. I don't remember what it's called, but I especially loved the beginning to it.

[Kawaii Ryûkishi]

It's called "The Extreme." I prefer "The Legendary Beast" and "Maybe I'm a Lion," from the Griever and Griever-Ultimecia fights, myself.
