Unite, Descent (Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles): - I love the Crystal Chronicles OST more than almost any other, and this track is such a great example of why. The Venerable Ancient Battlefield ~ Suwa Foughten Field (Touhou Mountain of Faith IT IS HARD TO PICK JUST ONE TOUHOU BOSS THEME THOUGH UGH): - picked mostly because it breathes more than a lot of Touhou boss themes and has more gravitas than the rest of the tracks in its game (but other good picks include Solar Sect of Mystic Wisdom, Love-Colored Master Spark, Emotional Skyscraper, etc etc etc) It’s hard to discuss without spoilers, but suffice to say it’s one of the best tracks that Supergiant has ever had and that’s saying A LOT. Never to Return (Pyre - probably the same one Mo nominated): - I still can’t get over how cool the moment in the game when this track plays is. In-game it has a bit of help from dynamic scoring and plot context, although its implementation is far less memorable than, say, Birth of a Wish. Possessed by a Disease (NieR: Automata, which really has 5 other amazing boss themes to nominate but this one is my favorite dammit): - Probably not the NieR: Automata track that most deserves the recognition, but it comes on the tail of a crucial moment and FOR SURE is my favorite boss theme on the album to listen to/workout to/think deeply on the nature of humanity to. It helps that the actual fight IS my platonic ideal of a bossfight, and I shudder to think how much more it would have been if they had dynamically implemented this track toward the stages of Maria’s fight… Lady Maria of the Astral Clocktower (Bloodborne): - this track almost perfectly encapsulates my platonic ideal of a Bossfight just in how it’s structured. Other runners up include most Undertale boss themes, illusionary dance from Castlevania, Marx from Kirby Superstar (my first truly beloved boss theme), Guzma’s theme from Pokemon Sun and Moon… and the 20 others I’ll probably regret forgetting later. For example, Gwyn’s theme from Dark Souls is an amazing concept and implementation, but lord do I hate how dinky it sounds out of context. I tried to pick tracks that I routinely enjoy outside of the context of the boss fights themselves, which helped narrow down the field a bit. I knew most of my nominations would be obscure, but I didn’t realize 4/5s of them would be on DS/3DS You Will Know Our Names (Xenoblade Chronicles): įrontier Brain Battle (Pokemon Platinum/HeartGold/SoulSilver): Hoist the Sword with Pride in the Heart (Etrian Odyssey 3): Please be careful if you use a SilvaGunner link.If you have any sort of gray-area nominations, ask and we’ll figure out whether or not it’s eligible.You can change your nominations at any time before they close.Bracket size/seeding will be determined by number of nominations.
Provide the name of the song, game it’s from, and youtube links for each nomination.No remixes, only original versions of the song from the game in question.Each user gets 5 nominations, with a maximum of 2 nominations from the same game.It can be unique to that boss, or standard across several different bosses Each nomination must be music from a boss fight.It’s time to see what sort of tastes in video game music everyone has, so here’s the first (of possibly many) user-built VG Music contests! I’m gonna build a bracket from user nominations and see which song gets voted to the top.
