My Top 10 Final Fantasy Boss Themes

[gizzad]

wow. never realized that FFX-2's boss music was so badass

[Lochsabre]

I like the picks, but it seems like the sound quality of the 10 tracks is so inconsistent. and you also dont use the best parts of the best songs. just seems like you put the first 50 seconds for every song instead of the best 50. otherwise nice video, though id get rid of the butthurt text boxes on #7 if I were you. I know its annoying but I hate watching a video im enjoying and then I read the creator whinging about comments.

[residenteviljolteon]

love final fantasy 4 boss theme

[MrVocalord]

I approve of X-2's boss theme for one reason, it reminds me of The Bouncer which is a Squaresoft game i loved so yeah i agree 100% even if X-2 as a whole wasn't that good at all,has to be said

[PokemonSFantasy]

i love the ff original sountracks rather than the remixed ones!!!

[TheRagCo]

my top ten with reasons 10: Kefka's theme (never gets old) 9: One winged Angel (good but over praised by fanboys) 8: Cloud of Darkness Boss fight (awesome) 7: Battle with the Four Fiends (awesomer) 6: FF12 esper battle (sweetness) 5: FF8 boss theme (badass) 4: Battle on the Big Bridge (amazingness) 3: Darkness of Eternity (who can blame me?) 2: Otherworld (in my opinion the most badass Final fantasy song ever!) 1: Dancing Mad (10 mins long and every second is worth listening to, Truly amazing)

[DanTheMan8819]

Force Your Way FTW! Love my FF8, even if it is 12 (going on 13) years old now. ^_^

[XxDushXx]

Very disappointing to see your final top 3. 9 has a better battle music compared to the rest but not boss music....

Clash on the Bridge, FF6 and FF8 are definitely better for boss music but hey these are opinions. These top 3 put me on the edge of my seat when fighting a boss. Hell even 7 gets you in the mood.

The FF12 theme feels like FF tactics boss music.... I have no idea why the Esper theme didn't replace the regular boss theme,..

[RoxasIX22]

in my opinion FF XII is better , second FF XIII , FF IX ...and my favourite is the FF IX

[YojimbodeGreed]

I totally agree on the IX boss theme, its music was making you be like: "Woah, wtf is happening? THE END OF THE WORLD!?"

[stoneiousprime]

Fav is either neo-exdeath, dancing mad, battle with seymour, or dark messenger

[ahmedzreza]

what about Seymour's Battle? it's should be considered as boss battle right?

[XxDushXx]

@ahmedzreza yes and FF4 last battle.

[samuraicowboyninja]

Challenge is way better than the regular boss theme in ffx.

[samuraicowboyninja]

Tifa+No7=Awsome

[Hisworld1234]

whatevs, my fave is battle against the fiends ver. 1 from ff1

[Hisworld1234]

for number 9, i don't remember it sounding like that...

[Mangeurdemouton]

FF V this not the real boss the but its cool.

[XxDushXx]

@Mangeurdemouton it's clash on the bridge Gilgamesh battle so yes it's still a boss theme.

[Leri084]

I really hate to sound like a tune for the popularity, and realise I have played only one FF game but listened to a lot of the music, nothing I have found comes even close to being as good as One Winged Angel in FF music.

[collinsh]

on an all time basis, ff8 has gotta be the best ff game, but because its more up to date and a little bit different with turn based combat, ffx is if not the best, can definitely be argued to be the best, just took the immersive nature of ff that little step further

[giranja007]

final fantasy VII is overrated for how good it is. I mean it is the second most bought playstation game. final fantasy VI gets the amount of attention it should get, if not, it should get more. final fantasy V and IV on the other hand are way too underrated. ff4 being my fav game (ds version) it makes me a little annoyed how underrated the game is. anyway, not sayin that ff7 sucks. its an awesome game but its overrated and other ff games deserve more attention :(

[Syouke]

agree with every except that FFX-2 shouldn't be in top 10

FF13 should be like ranked 10th.

[cloud50006]

My all time favorite has to be Battle at the Big Bridge, Gilgamesh ftw! ^^

[coldcash1001]

I love 4,7,8,9. I hate everything about ffx-2

[Firesttar]

these fight theme dont sound the same without the hacking and slashing sounds xD but i do agree with at least half of these

[Mellathor]

my very favorite is seymours boss theme, from ff x. def my favorite ever :)

[tgirl411g]

ff7, 8, 9 fav boss theme music

[snipershote]

ff9 ftw. love that game. always will be my favorite

[fayers189]

I never realised how tame 'The Fierce Battle' is I guess it's 'cause I was busy trying to stay alive.

[SephOrochimaru228]

every ff vid i go on theres always wars going on between fanboys and more fanboys.

seriously. just watch the goddamn video. stop acting like children

[hurisija]

@SephOrochimaru228 Agreed

[Attemptingtohelp]

TBH, I thought clash on the big bridge should be higher than FFIX's boss theme. But that's my opinion...

[YinsShadow]

top ten favorites? when there's only 13 to date, it means nothing to make that list. xD

So, I guess we know which three you felt totally blew then. lol

[FinaIxFantasy]

@YinsShadow It's sad that you think there are only 13 final fantasy games, LOL don't make another comment, you obviously aren't a fan of the series, so go play halo child :)

[YinsShadow]

@FinaIxFantasy It's sad you assume I like halo...

I was unaware those stupid side games even counted. To each his own I guess, and I just love an asshole who can condescend someone as a child while telling them to not make another comment with a nice lovely little smilie face. Well since youre snobby behavior is on par with Joker, I guess you're too obnoxious to really have a civil conversation with. But thanks for making my joke question seem like an opportunity to bash someone so immaturely.

[Dorgengoa2080]

imo it goes,ff8,ff9,ff4,too bad you didnt have darkness of eternity here though

[jacquesjp3]

hey forgothing ff legende3 final boss shame on you all

[freelancedruma]

omfg when the music for a boss battle came on in FFX i was litterally sweating like shaq at the foul line - it was even fair. rediculously intense battles are remembered when i hear that song

[freelancedruma]

The boss battle theme for FFXIII reminds me of Castlevania for some reason

[CmplteWrksofEvryone]

WHERE IS ONE WINGED ANGEL?!?!?!?!?!!? SEPHIROTH WILL RIP YOUR HEART FROM YOUR CHEST!!!!!!

[FatherOfGray]

I think all of the Final Fantasy games should be remade in SNES 16 bit awesomeness. Thumbs if you agree :)

[leperot]

One boss theme is missing :

ESPER BATTLE THEME

It's the eon's theme of FF XII and if it was really considered as a boss theme, it would be nuber 1 of boss themes for me, it is awesome...

[BBArtandMusic]

VI boss is my favorite

[CrazyGeistProduction]

Rofl the retard who posted this vid havent listened to ffII castle pandaemonium theme...

[MHManiac1527]

FF10 FTW

[HintForGood]

XII - Makes you feel like Every move you make will decide whether you will win or not!

X - Desperately fighting for all sake

IX - Makes you feel like a powerful foe has appeared and you will have to use all your might to defeat it!

Note: The only FF i've played is IX, I just followed what the soundtrack trying to tells us how the boss looks like xD

[HintForGood]

Every boss theme was very blood pumping:

V (C.o.t.B.B) - Makes you wanna start kicking ass

IV - Classical Boss theme / Fighting for hope

VII - Makes the boss looks very strong and once you won, you have a feeling of invincibility

VIII - Excitement keeps on going all the way up until the boss battle ends

VI (Fierce Battle Theme) - Makes you wondered what skills will the boss uses every time he makes his move

VI - Fight like there's no tomorrow!

[BabyMiao007]

FF VII is my most favourite theme ^^

[IsolationInstigation]

FF VI is definitely my favorite. It translates so well to guitar, and it's one of the ones I remember best, cuz I played it so much in my childhood. FFVI is probly my favorite Final Fantasy out of all of them. GOD DAMNIT I LOVE FINAL FANTASY!

[kyokusanagi92]

I like FF XII n_n

[xixu4xaldin]

May I supose that you haven't listened to FF I, II and III boss battle songs?

[gonzaloffx2]

i like boss theme from ffx-2

[demislasher]

If I never heard these songs before I'd say FF X but I've already listened to this track so much when I'm out for a jog or at tha gym haha

[LuckyDaysOfRaya14]

if you hear the full them of the ff12's boss theme. it would be good.

[Mr46Kurde46]

FINAL FANTASY X

[pikachu22540]

finally someone who doesn't think that ff x-2 sucks

[RoddickFarrence589]

@pikachu22540 I don't think it sucks, at least the game has a gamble dressphere and a mascot dressphere.

[cloudparter]

FFVII ftw. Also where is Tactics? The Pervert is easily the best Boss music of all time from Final Fantasy.

[AAARRRGGG111]

battle on the big bridge at 9?!

[borealis222]

My favorite one is Clash on the Big Bridge as well. Might just be biased since V is my favorite numbered FF.

[AudistaYaoi]

I preferred the Soundtrack for FF12 the Esper Battle Theme Song :)

[ZACKFAIR1205]

You know what I think? Nobuo Uematsu music is the best!

[antix995]

my favourite is clash on the big bridge

[acidbath32]

does anyone even know how to get ff7 for pc working on a modern day XP computer?

[m0ffx]

@acidbath32 It can be a bit troublesome. You may actually be better off running the playstation version on an emulator, though do check compatibility before you start playing.

[peper67640]

Only one think to add : Thanks for all nobuo Uematsu

[bourgeiosbrazilian]

I had an orgasm with the second song

[Savagry482]

no i think ff9 music is the best

[TheFugox]

I don't care what others are saying, FF XII is a great game, maybe not a great Final Fantasy, but it is agreat game.

[BlueReckless]

The FFIV theme still gives me cold chills. Those boss fights were insanely hard even in the first American edition, and then there was the dungeon filled entirely with bosses who had that theme...

There's no way the fight with Atma Weapon should lose to the plain ol' FFVI boss theme, though.

[lyrawolf]

Definitely agree with the top two choices. Two of the best by far <3

[animemeijin]

Glad to see FF IV boss battle made the list!

[DjEzhel88]

The best final fantasy has got to be 3 (US) 6 (JP) ... and someone finally throws in one of the best boss battle tracks on this list and thats the atma weapon battle

[KinderDerHoffnung]

2;20 = YES!

[DragaoDiamante]

WHY FF7 IS BELOW FF8 ?!

[juitz88]

FF7 fanboys don't know about the true FFs, they're just fond of coolness/fighting, they just know that fucking ff7 just because of advent children.

My pick is Force your way - FF8, it gives me the chills and goosebumps.

[DarkLight1616]

One Winged Angel

[Vozelas]

Final fantasy V advance boss fight is similar to Final Fantasy XII "Battle on the big bridge"

[1991petrolhead]

@Vozelas it's the same song when you fight Gilgamesh in FFV.

[TheKeyBladeMastah666]

my fav HAS to be ff7 for awesome gameplay, plot and of course one winged angel cant be beaten for the best boss theme

[MW2guy5]

What happened to One Winged Angel

[makjep]

@MW2guy5 ordinary boss only. no main villains

[TwiIightWyvern]

If you like these, you should give some of the XI music a shot. "Realm of Emptiness" (Promathia boss theme), "Ragnarok" (Alexander boss theme), and most of the Chains of Promathia regular battle themes were fantastic pieces.

[kenichinsfs]

Nothing beats the old music in Final Fantasy V - IX

[rogersmsi]

Final Fantasy IV, V, IV

winning.

[danielvutran]

@rogersmsi Yeah, I agree, 4,5,4 are good.

Wut LOL

[Blackstardragon393]

I love FF 8, but I never hear about 9 or 11, whats with that?

[squarefan1]

@Blackstardragon393 9 is amazing, it has the second best story, IMO. And 11 is an MMORPG, I don't think it was the most popular game, but it was pretty popular.

[RedBig117]

Finally someone who thinks that shitty ff7 is worse than ff6

[TheGIRROX]

@RedBig117 dude 7 was the best and the boss theme rocked

[InLoveMovements]

I love all the final fantasy themes, but personally I love final fantasy 7, 8, and 9 :) Awesome battle and boss themes.

[kitsune2kiwi]

One Winged Angel should've been on top, its the only boss theme with a full orchestral version and imo is one of the best boss themes of all games... Though the Advent Children rock version tops both the orchestral and original versions by far...

[MW2guy5]

@kitsune2kiwi SOMEONE FINALLY GETS IT!!

[DjEzhel88]

@kitsune2kiwi sadly the intro song to FF8 is better then the oh so popular One Winged Angel, just cuz it has an opera voice it makes it better? and the best boss theme of all games? hahaha fucken FF7 fan boys i swear, dont even know wats really good

[marcsman229]

@DjEzhel88 the FF8 intro has an opera voice too

[ryanfireman1142]

i love the ff7 boss theme so much i recorded it on my phone

[VindictivePheasant]

Final Fantasy X and IX had the best music in my opinion.

[36256564874847848487]

Where is FFMQ boss battle theem?

[gavers029]

now that is fn amazing, no one winged angel...but #9 and #8 sound awesome

[zColdez]

i like IX de

[OXG2221]

all of them are great music .. you sure know how to select awesome music

[EdisZidane]

I like FF10 battle theme, Anytime I hear this I know I am in deep shit!

[Caioetbdf]

number 4 is the best. FF VI is the best final fantasy ever made.

[Schwartzdying]

@Caioetbdf I agree, but ffiv is still great comparing to vi :)

[ruibotelho19]

@Caioetbdf You are so right !!

[gtseventy]

I liked all your songs except # 2 and #3, but its still worth a thumbs up.

[mariogamersidequest]

My top 5

Don't hate I havent played all the games Boss theme top 5

5. FFVI Theme

4. FFX

3. FFXII

2. FFIV

1. FFVII

[PestilentShade]

@mariogamersidequest VII is amazing, have you played VIII? That boss theme is my joint favourite with FFVII

[mariogamersidequest]

@PestilentShade I wanna get VIII i might get it on ebay in a few weeks

[PestilentShade]

@mariogamersidequest I would, is a fantastic game. Often said to be the best one.

[mariogamersidequest]

@PestilentShade ya will get it once i beat zelda ocarina of time

[MrRastafari25]

FFVII have the best boss theme

[irelandcool1]

FFV normal boss music ain't here and it was one of the most serious boss music in the series

[irelandcool1]

one thing I didn't like about the FF13 battle system is that if the main character dies you can't just simply revive them like in the other games instead its just game over I mean you think it would cause the other characters to respond with a phoenix down

[333ville]

i think all final fantasy kicks ass I-XIII except crystal conicals which will never count they all had great story lines difficult bosses the battle system may be a little different to some but that just adds more depth and makes it a little harder and interesting (did not say XIV because even square says that it is a fail)

[mewtwo41]

i dont realy get ff7 fanboys..... iv played ff7 and it was amazing but still they think nothing is better that ff7. i like 6 a bit more because....well it was good.

[theVictorLippi]

@KennethAnisSupporter What is Final Fantasy? Is a game that Ever have a surprise in each edition.

So they try to do something new in the FFXII,that was the battle system, that in case I liked.

But... Maybe I agree with you, have you ever played FFXIII?

Its just grafic, the gameplay and the storyline are depressing.

Old times with my FFVI...

[Jonoridge]

@theVictorLippi FF13 is a long corridor involving boss fights and cutscenes... no soul what so ever... pretty tho

[theVictorLippi]

I just can't understand one thing.

Why people don't like FFXII?

The soundtracks are AWESOME, Nice grafics, good gameplay(Not the classic control style), but FUCK, the storyline is addicted.

I prefer FFVI(the best), FFIV, FFVII and FFXII than FFX.

P.S. Just my opinion, don't need to agree

[Towlysfriend]

Final fantasy 7 fanboys are those ones who have no idea about final fantasy

[waterking179]

why is 7 # 7

[ultimatedazzler]

7 boss theme should be number 1

[SuperSajayin2Gohan]

And wheres the Theme from FF4 When you fight the four Lords of Elements

[andretatontos]

X-2 are just a remake by changing all normal virgins into emo girls

[botanbutton]

I love all of these so I see no need to complain! I've gripped my controller pretty tightly to a few of these! The adrenaline rushes! :D

[Ernesto9IL]

FFIX no doubt about it

[DrCowenstein]

For me, it will always be Dancing Mad (the 4 movements).

Dat organ...

[cloudfinalfantasy8]

thumbs up ff XII is the best FF ever

[dem0nk1d123]

@cloudfinalfantasy8

Gotta say, im torn between 12 and 7.

[itScottieB]

@cloudfinalfantasy8 Final Fantasy X is dude; consider the storyline as well as epic fights: Braska's final aeon, Yunalesca, Sin... need I say more.

[kingdomnobodies]

@itScottieB FFX is the worst excuse for an ff ever. It was crud. FFVII is my fav but i have yet to play FFVIII FFIX and FFXIII

[RedRedFortune]

@kingdomnobodies Oh no, opinions! What are we going to do?!

[PestilentShade]

@kingdomnobodies I highly reccomend FFVIII, is my favourite game, alongside VII. Definitely a great game.

[kingdomnobodies]

@PestilentShade Will do after I've finished IX And XII. I've already started those.

[acepowner]

GILGAMEEESHHH

[fremenready]

FF X-2 Worst FF evar...

[kolothepanda]

You know regardless of whether or not final bosses' themes are heard once, they should still be included at technically they're boss themes.

[enrique19ist]

I love FF9 ♥

[snugglepups1]

I love 8 and I don't know why...its just gives me chills.

[BanyStrife]

I like the FF4 and FF9 =D

[matuzalemperruno]

yeah FF9 soundtrack rules

[matuzalemperruno]

oh I really hate ff x-2

[Narutokun991]

I'd probably say my fav tune would be the one from FFVI (am i thinking the right one?) Right where u fight kefka for the last time. As far as a favorite game.... I'd say 6 or 7 but 8 just has that massive lion boss right at the end :D Too epic.

[circA138]

haha ff8 boss theme better then ff7? never

[FABRIakaKURA]

@circA138

agree...ff7 theme the best ever

[ZodanaBorado]

@circA138 I think final 8 music is alot better than 7 and lot of others agree also. heck it was award winning.

[huntergluck]

@circA138 meh, they're kinda equal to me with leaning more towards 8.

[huntergluck]

@circA138 you should here guitar covers of 8's. I guess that's what makes me realize how awesome it is

[TheScariffkid]

Pain was a massive lesbian

[hahahagreatname]

ya FF9 wins..

[PisYCaca1]

ah c'mon ffx-2 sucks, it doesn't deserve to be put in the list. FUCK FUCKIN ENIX

[ThunderNaffi]

Damn,,,Ash ,Yuna,Lightning ....they look like cousins hehehehe...wish they try to get a slightly different cute look hehehe

[TheXela1000]

How about Jechts Theme from FFX? Now THATS a theme.

[sepheroth696]

am i the only one who thinks that ff9's music was awsome?

[MrPolski91]

@sepheroth696 ff8 was the first one i bought and was my favourite for ages, couldnt get enough of the music, having played ff9 a couple of times through recently however its definitely taken the top spot, awesome music, awesome game!

[kane570003]

@MrPolski91 ff7 is the way to go

[doombybbr]

@sepheroth696 no - IT RULES!

[raw7789]

Gilgamesh Battle from FFXII should be on there.

[admiralAC3]

I like V3 with the organ

[dirkenius]

Clash on the big bridge original version sound should be #1!!!

[Campante10]

how the fuck FFVIII is ahead of FVII??? FVIII theme sucks :'/

[Supercow247]

and so. FF III with the best boss theme sits rotting in the past because nobodys played it. as par usual

[OmnomTheDevourer]

VI's music is the best! (In my opinion)

[Masamune364]

Man why cut off the best part of the boss theme ff4???

[Masamune364]

I hate when people put the remix instead of the original track -_-

[Alai360]

#4 is very good #3 my favorite!

[REALmikegordan]

Sticking to your own rules, here's my top 10 boss battle tracks (minus one-timers):

10.Sabre's Edge (FFXIII; epic moment: The whole game seems pretty epic to me)

9. FFXII boss theme (epic moment: None that I know of; makes everything seem really cool)

8. Challenge (FFX; epic moment: Yunalesca fight)

7. Force Your Way (FFVIII; epic moment: None that I know of)

6. Hunter's Chance (FFIX; epic moment: Festival of the Hunt)

[REALmikegordan]

5. Decisive Battle (FFVI; epic moment: Black Mage version)

4. Fight On (FFVII; epic moment: Boss fight with Rufus followed by whole escape sequence from Midgar)

3. Clash on the Big Bridge (FFV; epic moment: Black Mage version)

2. Assault (FFX; epic moment: Raid into Bevelle)

1. J-E-N-O-V-A (FFVII; epic moment: When you are heading down into the crater)
