It's time for another edition of "Leliel's Annoying Requests and Suggestion For Boss Music!"

This one is supposed to convey a sense of tragedy and sympathy for a villain during a boss fight with him, but still show that he's still a major threat:

Ladies and more likely, gentlemen of the Internet, I give you:

Yggdrasill's Theme (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2tlNIgcLqJY), perhaps?

Sorry, no links.

There are a few songs from .hack//sign (the anime some of you may or may not remember) that are very sad. One in particular (sorry! I don't know the name!) is a darker, more sinister version of another song.

...you will die, all alone, but it does not mean a thiiiiing to meeee!....

(edit: ok, I found it after all. Teh second half is probably even better for your purposes should you choose to use it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d5Z8LzqPK9Q )


Of course, that's not so great a song for combat. Also, just because I love the music from those games, something in the flavor of Wild Arms might be usable.
(ok, so there is one link)

I'm terrible at finding handy links, but there are soem really good songs in those games.

Just passing through, awesome thread by the way -- I'm always looking for music to throw on while my group games.

I'd suggest looking into the Soundtrack to Black, http://www.christilton.com/disc/black.html

I only bring it up because last night my group of PCs were fighting Count Zanathyris, a paladin of once great stature corrupted by Exythis (a devious Black Dragon), and as our party leader struck the final blow, silence dropped over the group. It seems that our DM got a phone call, we all got quiet, the TV was still on from someone playing Black and we heard the main theme about 1/2 way through pump in the background and it was just about perfect timing. Definetly one of my top 5 gaming moments, and a great song discovered :smallbiggrin:
