What games have the most adrenaline-pumping boss music? More underrated ones please, no One Winged Angel or Howl of the Departed or Serpent Eating the Ground.

The answer for me is obvious
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cI5V_8RErzI
by the way, adrenaline pumping boss music is partly wasted if the boss isnt equally as adrenaline pumping. so once again i recommend this game

The final boss music for Xenogears, of course.

Not underrated by any means but Consort Radahn's theme. The way it crescendos after the meteor attack is so hype that when I finally beat him it left me shaking.

Genuinely far and few times have gotten my heart pulsing out of control and my fight or flight flooding adrenaline into my very soul. Although the actual music used in the boss wasn't as hype.

I wouldn't call them adrenaline pumping but Star Rail's big bosses are all great fucking spectacles that I still think about.
Really makes me upset that FF left turn based combat behind.

There's no way I could ever properly explain it no matter how much I try, but the original version of this song has something to it that just isn't there in any of the remixes, official or otherwise.

No. I don't listen to music during intercourse.

>>721120821
To me, it's the constant hiss and oscillating background tones that gives it an industrial feel.
For instance the 3d version https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dk6x8PXuQz8
Is a lot cleaner instrumentation which is then muddied by adding reverb. It's the difference between "you just stepped into the heart of the machine" vs "here's another boss fight".

Baten Kaitos has some really underrated music. I really like both of the themes of the evil God:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eK5cRPzYa2w
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3lB0b0fHbAY

Sticking with the GCN forgotten JRPGs, the final boss theme in Crystal Chronicles is pretty sweet too. The instrumentation for the entire OST felt very... Celtic? The percussion in particular feels very war-drums like.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FFUdu8QuhUM

>>721117621
Boss themes where it makes it feel like it's YOUR theme scaring the shit out of the boss are pretty great.

Sell me on Rance as a series.
>>
>>721128302
an rpg with a consistent plot lasting over 10 entries and three times that for years with a single main character and a world that evolves with the changes he and other characters make
crapsack world where everything is designed to be as awful as physically possible BUT our hero, the wild card that he is, throws a wrench in the machinations of multiple asshole gods

basically if you are sick of goody two shoes heroes limited by what they can do to save the world, this is perfect for you
even if that isn't your jam, it's still very fun for having an unpredictable hero in a kitchen sink world that is consistent over 10 entries
i can't oversell the consistency enough, i mean how many series do you know that have a consistent plot over 10 games that are all competent and fun and worth playing and add to the series
also fucking 10/10 music if that wasn't already apparent

I've never even played this game I just had it in my vidya ost playlist for like 15 years. Probably should give it and Parasite Eve a chance sometime, both have killer final boss themes.
