I'll start us off.



From what I know of them, half of Epica's songs fit this:




And here's one I did use: The Final Countdown!

YES

Edit: Also...

Catmitts wins. That first song is awesome. LOL.
Yellow Magic
Could I BE any more Chandler Bing from Friends (TM)?
3154
Never thought I'd see Lethal Bizzle mentioned on an RPG Maker forum...


I'm actually using this as a boss theme.


The part that starts at 4:53. I don't know how many times I've been tempted to orchestrate it.

I still think The Spider is great, mainly because Uematsu was totally going for that same vibe with FFVI.

But this is the one that sparked Uematsu's entire boss battle theme style:


I'm actually in the middle of tracking this, but It's kind of hard (or maybe I just suck) because it doesn't sound right if it's just one instrument playing a melody, and if I put multiple instruments on that melody, because they're digital, it will just increase the amplitude
At the risk of losing any trace of self-respect forever...Magia. Every remix of.



Would have to be a very specific kind of RPG though. More Persona-style crazy than Final Fantasy, for example. But if Blue Dragon can pull off "Eternity," I bet there's an RPG somewhere that could rock this song convincingly.


I am pretty sure this is the precursor to all RPG boss themes.

why not the entire song?

that is probably Metallica's best song besides "To live is to die" and "call of ktulu"


This song is pretty epic and could easily be thematic.

"I will never grant you ground
remember me and why you all bow down"

Kicks in at 40 seconds.

I was actually planning on using this at some point in a game.

and for more needless epic.
