Favorite final boss music: Arcana, battle with Rimsala: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xq_cGF8F6l4 - I think it's made by the person who does all the Kirby music so it'll sound familiar if you played those.

For some reason when I was a kid I loved the final boss music for FF Mystic Quest. It's not as great in retrospect but it's still pretty... boss.

Arcana had good music all around. This is a good choice.

I have a hard time picking a favorite boss track but I always come back to this one. SF2 had a really cool atmosphere and this track just caps it off.

Digital Devil Saga 2 has to have one of the best final boss music. It's such a shame the final boss is an utter pushover.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6XOEZIZMUl0

I also have a soft spot for the early regular boss music. There's a lot of themes that replace it later on in the game and those usually get more attention.

I like it when a regular boss theme is funky like this.

I'd like to know who does their music. Fighting the final boss for an hour to have this start up at the last phase is great.
And then the next game has something almost out of an orchestra piece. It's too bad their game quality has decreased lately.
EDIT: Ooh, just remembered LoT2 also had good climactic boss music. Really does the job for the last fight with a recurring boss.

Anyway, since this is basically the RPG thread for every type of them, what was the reason DOA Beach Volleyball didn't come over here? Just not enough people to justify putting in the work? Everything's the fault of ess jay doubba yous now so I have no idea what actual reasoning for things is anymore.

It's a niche title that probably wouldn't sell enough to justify the PR problems that come from it.

It's also apparently just kind of a lovely game on its own merits.

Nobody knows. The DoA director guy said something about the 'cultural climate in the west,' but it wasn't like anita sarkonoth was protesting outside their studios or anything. It seems more likely the DoA guy is just being a complete weirdo.

Another possibility is it's a marketing strategy to get interest in the game so they can release it here when they pump out an enhanced edition with more girls or something.

That wasn't the DoA director, it was a random PR dude at KT on Twitter, unless there was another incident I haven't heard about.

DoA whatever 3 is barely a game, it's like six bad mini-games and photo and dress up modes, that's it.

Why are we talking about this in the RPG thread?

True. Medic Power really is the best skill.

Raja comes close but just does not measure up to virtually endless fullparty revive and heal on the slowest, tankiest member while everyone blows up the final boss.

Well yeah, it's a DOA Beach Volleyball game.

I was just curious because I saw someone salty about that somewhere recently and it made me wonder what the deal was with that actually. It's not like it's a loss to not have it come out.

Well, you have to grind up affection or unlock clothes or something- I dunno, I was just asking because ImpAtom posts a lot in here and he's basically got answers to this kind of poo poo all the time.

If you include everything where you gain experience or unlock skills as an RPG that includes pretty much every action game for the past ten years.
