Baten Kaitos has one of the best video game soundtracks of all time. Among the best is the final boss theme of the first game:

Or one of the fights with a specific character in the prequel:

In all things Baten Kaitos there's always amazing guitar thrown in every battle theme. This is by far Motoi Sakuraba's best work. Star Ocean, Valkyrie Profile and Tales Of can't hold a candle to the Baten Kaitos series.

 

Slicing people apart has never sounded this good.

Metal Gear Rising's soundtrack is absolutely amazing. They matched the songs to the situations perfectly. They did the same thing with Anarchy Reigns which was being developed at the same time.

 

I've been hoping they would make MGR2 for a couple years now but considering Konami doesn't even really make games anymore for the most part it's a pipe dream.

 

 

The Mysterious Figure battle music from Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep.

I've never fought Mysterious Figure but this song has been my favorite in the entire series for years. When I tried to get to him I got destroyed by Lingering Sentiment's ungodly power. I hadn't grinded or anything but he killed me in ONE HIT when I tried. I was like lolnope.

 

 

"BLINDING LIGHTS!!! AQUARIUM!!!! SONG BLARES!!!!!!" 

 

This song says so much to anyone whos played Spec ops: The Line.

Spec Ops had a clever way of using some of its music. Often with the radio guy playing the music for us. This is also one of the more fun parts of the game imo.

The legendary trio (Cobalion, Terrakion and Virizion) music from Pokemon Black and White/Black and White 2 is one of my favorite battle themes from any game. It's so dynamic and awesome, really can get your heart pounding... Until you either catch or knock out the Pokemon with relative ease. :adorkable: The Elite Four battle theme from the same game is a great one, too.

I also love Zinnia's battle music from Pokemon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire. I've always been a fan of those sort of orchestral pieces lead by string instruments.

And how could I forget Megalovania, Spider Dance, and Hopes And Dreams from Undertale. They're amazing, and each fit their battles perfectly. Hopes And Dreams is even so wonderful that it sometimes makes me emotional remembering the epic (and very nearly tear-jerking) final battle of the game.  :kindness:

Sephiroth's is more epic once it starts the chorus.

The last one is from an ancient Nintendo game, is a bit repetitive but that's fine, same with tension rising kh2 theme.

And the first one is just because of my childhood, epic organ music is epic.

Zelda: Wind Waker: Pretty much the entire ost, but Molgera's theme and Gohma's theme stand out I think

Pokemon: HG/SS Rival fight, Lance/red's theme and the gym leaders last pokemon theme from B2 and W2

Xenoblade Chronicles: You will know our names, Mechanical rhythm, and Riki's theme

 

There's tons out there, but for the sake of time I just narrowed it down to thoes ones, it's super hard to pick one over the other sometimes!

I haven't had the opportunity to play this yet, but eternal sonata has a fantastic battle theme.
