Your Battle Hymn
« on: September 13, 2007, 04:42:15 pm »
I love music. Especially in RPG's. Sometimes there are songs that get me in the mood to kick a bosses ass all across the floor. So one day I was sitting around playing and I came up with a question for all of my fellow CC family members. If you were to have a boss theme for yourself whether you were the boss or you were fighting the boss, what would be your theme. You can choose from any videogame or actual song.


If I was a boss my theme would be the song: A Challenge to God-Four Guardian Kings Battle from Romancing Saga.

So post your theme song!!!!!

OWA, but that's too easy. So I'll have to say "Maybe I'm a Lion" by the Black Mages. The actual game version is lackluster, as is the theme that follows it. FF8 and Cross disappointed in this regard.

"Avatar" by Dead Can Dance, from their album "Spleen and Ideal." That stuff just belongs in a videogame. Pure awesomeness.

For something more, er, "mainstream," I guess, "Promised Pain" by Yuki Kajiura, from the Xenosaga Episode III OST.

Information Society's "Ozar Midrashim" from LoK: Soul Reaver and LoK: Defiance. It sort of overwhemls you with a swirl of powerful emotions, awakening a primal, transcendant instinct that reaves through all. A moment of revelation where all fears and doubts vanish, and words such as 'courage' and 'willpower' become meaningless. It's just you and your objective, and nothing can stop you from reaching it.

:lee:


Then, there's also Uematsu's "Tenrai ~ Divinity II", from FFVIIAC. I know it's not a game music, but I guess it sort of counts, anyway. Everytime I hear this theme I feel like grabing a sword, jumping 1 mile high and cutting a giant dragon in half.

"Number One" by Hazel Fernandes.

It's basically Ichigo's theme in Bleach. They always play it at the turning points in battle and such.
I like the instrumental version better myself, but I can't find that version anywhere to download.
So I had to settle for the vocal version.

Vocal Version:

I'll try to find the instrumental version in the actual show on Youtube, but that's a little tougher to do, so enjoy this for now.

I think I would have "Edge of Seventeen" as my theme song.

That's Hitsugaya's version of the song with the violin. I do like that too I guess.

I meant a instrumental version, without having audio in the show in it. I've yet to find that.

I'll always have a soft-spot for Magus' Theme...probably one o' dem remixes by Children of the Monkey Machine, Magus (Decay of Hope) or Magus (Temporal Rehab)...or his remix of Undersea Palace, Ocean Palace (Wave Breaker). That one normally hypes me up.

Oh hey, to all them One Winged Angel fans, I guess it's going to be on the VIDEO GAMES LIVE:
GREATEST HITS - VOLUME ONE album
...Here's to hoping that some other volume has a friggin CHRONO song on it!

 :lol:

I love that list. You were definitely prepared. I didn't listen to them all in their entirety, but they were still great.

Does anyone know how to get songs off the internet and onto your phone, without paying for it?
I really want that Chrono Cross theme as my ring tone, but I haven't found an easy way to do it.
I tried recording it with my phone's mic, but it sounded like crap.

Any ideas/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Because with music this awesome, you only need thirty seconds to kick any ass in your way.

I don't know, to be honest...something that has a tinge of sadness(because I hate fighting) and something with a tinge of hope(because I want to end it as soon as possible) but mostly just high energy feelings. Preferably something with an electric guitar, but if not, a symphony orchestra will do.

Anyone have a song like that?

Tick Tack (Tāck / Tock) - Crematory ( German Band, :P )
