"World Revolution" is the second-to-last boss theme. The theme of the last battle is..."Last Battle."
True. I guess I just wanted to mention World Revolution.

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 Ryűkishi, I think they meant short lived in its appeal, as it got repetitive or boring to them quickly.
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.
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.
