16----
17* ''VideoGame/BreathOfFireII'':
18** [[https://youtu.be/ridZISF1drI "More Than Words"]]. Played during TearJerker moments, and works in synch with them brilliantly.
19** [[https://youtu.be/6BEv6VbF_YM "On The Honored Day"]] (also known as "Memories"), the theme of the dragon that saved the hero's hometown before the story began. Despite being repetitive, it's still incredibly beautiful. It's later replaced with [[https://youtu.be/3xw1BMzR5Yc "Daybreak"]] once the dragon sacrifices itself to let your party enter [[TheVeryDefinitelyFinalDungeon Infinity]].
20** [[https://youtu.be/Y-NO3XH_SqY "White Wings"]]. It's such a beautiful theme that it still sounds beautiful even on [[https://youtu.be/7X6mDfe-iQk the Mario Paint version]].
21** [[https://youtu.be/R8sU0FGmqRc "God of Decadence"]]. It's a good thing that ''VideoGame/BreathOfFireII'' was faithfully translated, as this theme could not represent the BigBad (actually, his Dragon) and founder of [[PathOfInspiration the church]] any more perfectly.
22** And [[https://youtu.be/kS0ocuYf2r8 "Dying Corpse"]]. So epic, it's hard to believe that this music was used as ''the standard battle theme''. The second one, to be more precise. Though [[https://youtu.be/Vxt-d3iZaTU "Cross Counter"]], the first battle theme, is pretty awesome too.
23** [[https://youtu.be/gT-I5qpMfew "Tunlan"]] is gorgeous. Its [[https://youtu.be/-EfYez1cP4w predecessor]] isn't half bad, either.
24* From ''VideoGame/BreathOfFireIII'', we have [[https://youtu.be/pDIH4TAb8Us Everyday Battle]], [[https://youtu.be/hJeIYvQ0Bb8 The Champion]], [[https://youtu.be/RJ7DwbXX2pE Alan and Cerl]], and the [[https://youtu.be/nZnrqEsyI74 Ending Theme]].
25* From ''VideoGame/BreathOfFireIV'' we have [[https://youtu.be/vQVVPn4WiNw Even Towards Death, Valiantly]] which plays during three plot critical boss fights.
26* ''Strider'' had quite a few good tunes, but [[https://youtu.be/yP8GubVdSac "Grandmaster"]] wipes the floor with the rest of them. Very suitably epic final boss theme.
27* ''VideoGame/RivalSchools: United By Fate'' already had a kick-ass opening theme in its arcade version with "[[https://youtu.be/0hqDynXRag4 We'll Protect Our School!]]". But when the game was ported to the [=PlayStation=], it sported an additional animated intro with an even better theme in "[[https://youtu.be/Csqx8Vmo-7Q Atsui Kodou]]."
28* ''Franchise/ResidentEvil'':
29** The series has some great [[https://youtu.be/OimG8UOfXoE boss themes]]. And [[https://youtu.be/6AI3pmwKnMw Suspended Doll]] is deliciously creepy.
30** [[https://youtu.be/8oH1v1B9Htg Wesker's theme]] from ''Resident Evil 5''.
31** ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil5''[='=]s theme from the chapter 6-3 right before you get to the Bomber Bay to fight Wesker, [[https://youtu.be/S4ywyZHhunA Majini IX -In Flames]], you're running through the burning engine room of an oil tanker sized ship, zombies, zombies with guns, zombies with ROCKET LAUNCHERS all around you, trying to get through two sealed blast doors and a shitton of enemy resistance to get to your goal. The whole damn place is going up in flames and explosions, and THIS is what you rock out to? Yes.
32** [[https://youtu.be/Wx69Gj8g1s0 El Gigante]], [[https://youtu.be/1iVrRcAoAQQ Mendez]], [[https://youtu.be/RSt2ZQSpDz8 Salazar]], [[https://youtu.be/3-Iz2oqPFmI Krauser]], and [[https://youtu.be/vUPmQJCqPaw Saddler]]'s boss themes from ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil4'' are awesome as well as creepy. Ditto for the ambient soundtracks, such as [[https://youtu.be/6uyBy8_QeMU "A Ruined Village",]] [[https://youtu.be/bhdzNj9Ja_k "Noche",]] [[https://youtu.be/HUNG1H6y0ko "Cold Sweat",]] [[https://youtu.be/qS8DWlbaRZM "Novistadors",]] and [[https://youtu.be/vudU0Xslau4 "Regeneradors"]].
33* ''VideoGame/GodHand'':
34** Most of the boss music. Key examples are [[https://youtu.be/YlSKbTOiqnw "Smoking Roll"]], Elvis's theme, and [[https://youtu.be/T7izuEcqKjY "Devil May Sly"]], the fight music for [[EvilCounterpart Azel]].
35** Even the minibosses have awesome music. Behold, [[https://youtu.be/vMu47X9e-VM "Sunset Heroes"]], the theme of the Mad Midget Five.
36** [[https://youtu.be/vAga2AjfZlg The ending credits]]. It's literally a song about how awesome the main character is, and how much ass he kicks. And he kicks a lot of ass.
37** Also [[https://youtu.be/Z86E0rxsONA Shannon's theme]], [[https://youtu.be/53F7IFUot6g The God Hand's theme itself]], and [[https://youtu.be/UjovDP4GvT4 Yet... Oh See Mind]].
38* From ''VideoGame/ViewtifulJoe'':
39** [[https://youtu.be/zQ-3x-gejuE Another Joe's Theme]], played during the boss fight against Joe's ''{{Doppelganger}}''. Appropriately, it's a BossRemix of [[https://youtu.be/d5PLEPD_tOc Joe's theme]].
40** [[https://youtu.be/8o7iGWLHQB0 Viewtiful World]].
41** [[https://youtu.be/rbkFeVQgvo0 Blue the True Hero]]. It's a remix of the [[https://youtu.be/IicZebSIvQ8 same song you've heard several times beforehand]], but cranked up because this fight is ''for real''.
42** Not to be beaten, Dark Hero Jet Black in ''Viewtiful Joe 2'' had [[https://youtu.be/tu93_tjV-PE True Heroes]].
43** [[https://youtu.be/Iv0z7V5aK9A Big John]] and [[https://youtu.be/BgqOXrb6Xb4 Frost Tiger]] also had pretty awesome boss themes. And of course, [[https://youtu.be/azvG9rdH14c Blade Master]], a theme so great that it made an encore appearance in two games (''Viewtiful Joe 2'' and ''Viewtiful Joe Double Trouble'') and was [[https://youtu.be/wzmN5Kaiasc rearranged]] in the second for Joe and Silvia's fight with Alastor's Underworld Emperor form.
44** Before revealing his actual identity, the Black Emperor fights Joe and Silvia in outer space. The boss theme is [[https://youtu.be/FeCh-WMpsZI amazingly fitting]] for 'the greatest show in the universe!'
45* ''VideoGame/LostPlanet: Extreme Condition'' had some [[https://youtu.be/RCximJUOm4o pretty epic music]].
46* ''VideoGame/BionicCommando2009'':
47** The final scene, when Spencer headbutts Super Joe through the cockpit of his mech, makes it explode and falls into the hole - the song is titled [[https://youtu.be/lKf1UuDmmps "Beyond Dark Skies"]].
48** ''VideoGame/BionicCommando: Rearmed''[='=]s [[https://youtu.be/Q1r7TrYZwJ0 intro screen's]] astonishingly catchy beat.
49** The [[https://youtu.be/1igNzXHTzBE main theme]] of the 2009 ''VideoGame/BionicCommando'' is just as awesome with its military/epic tone.
50* ''VideoGame/SengokuBasara Samurai Heroes'':
51** [[https://youtu.be/4qwqV_5p9_I The epic, rocking, hopeful theme of Tokugawa Ieyasu]]. Yeah, for someone who evolves from a BrattyHalfPint JamesBondage into a badass fist-fighting unifier, it's befitting that he got a kickass theme in return.
52** Kuroda Kanbe [[https://youtu.be/U5JkDUBXWCU has a pretty rocking theme for a guy with little luck]].
53** And then, there's the incredible theme of the [[https://youtu.be/-AjzMpNFOGc Osaka - Winter Siege]] stage.
54** [[https://youtu.be/QRGbov-46fY Keiji's theme ladies and gents.]] People have actually challenged him first so that his song keeps playing before Kenshin shows up.
55* The soundtrack for ''VideoGame/FinalFight 3'' is mostly mediocre overall, but [[https://youtu.be/GHJjiz6WsBI "For Metro City"]] is rather awesome. Unfortunately, it only plays in a short section of the first level. Meanwhile, [[https://youtu.be/7ktjH8eSAO8 "Law and Disorder"]] is the ultimate beat-em-up tune. If the streets were to take a musical form, they would be this.
56* ''VideoGame/GhostTrick''. You can tell the original composer from ''VisualNovel/PhoenixWrightAceAttorney'' had a hand on it.
57** Just mentioning a few, we have Lynne's theme ([[https://youtu.be/w6xMvGbwT7I Lynne ~ A Targeted Redhead]]), Detective Jowd's ([[https://youtu.be/hxzU3wRZxcM Detective Jowd ~ A Captive of Fate]]), 4 Minutes Before Death ([[https://youtu.be/YROofZCpC1w Moderate]] and [[https://youtu.be/wne7_Lld-Zw Allegro]]), [[https://youtu.be/rBBmF0DAZ1Q Trauma]] (which would have been better named "Investigation ~ Core 2010) and the [[https://youtu.be/ovGygYv36S0 Memory]] theme.
58** [[https://youtu.be/XSnTgeO_LOQ Chained Past]] solidly conveys the fact that you're really starting to dive deep into the dark history that set the game's events into motion. It might as well be Yomiel's unofficial theme music.
59** [[https://youtu.be/mFXOJ1mkKtI The Last Desperate Struggle]] gets a special mention, because it stands out among the soundtrack for giving a solid, tense atmosphere, and truly does give a feeling that the finale is just around the corner.
60** Also, the [[https://youtu.be/IQ3khsva6E8 Main Theme]] and extended version [[https://youtu.be/SYcbNnFz378 Epilogue ~ The End of the Night]].
61* ''VideoGame/DragonsDogma'' has a ton of awesome tracks.
62** A good example is [[https://youtu.be/OTNfuztCMgM End Of The Struggle]], which plays when you strike a boss with its major weakness.
63** Another example is the (former) title theme, "[[https://youtu.be/1jTeHzzefS4 Into Free -Dragon-]]", even if it was also a perfect example of SoundtrackDissonance. Sadly, the song was removed for the ''Dark Arisen'' expansion.
64* ''VideoGame/StarGladiator'' has its own fair share of memorable tunes.
65** The best ones from the first game include [[https://youtu.be/zfbH-DeCkWA Zelkin's stage]], [[https://youtu.be/I-lC4psJzkI Rimgal's stage]], [[https://youtu.be/Ha8egAKc7zY Gore's stage]], and [[https://youtu.be/KwudPUZXA3I Bilstein's stage]]. Special mention should go to the [[https://youtu.be/GrZTO8mA4CA Special Stage]], for its own awesome music literally screams FinalBattle when fighting against Ghost Bilstein.
66** The sequel, ''Plasma Sword'', has its own decent line-up of musical hits, which includes [[https://youtu.be/mD663dHELog "Illusion of Peace"]], [[https://youtu.be/Cqda6r-Q2dQ "Fade to Silence"]], [[https://youtu.be/2916XDQ3ldc "Holy Graveyard"]], and [[https://youtu.be/DH2cMfHtRng "Fate of the Glory"]].
67* The [[https://youtu.be/8i9l5_1MmB4 classic theme]] from ''VideoGame/GhostsNGoblins'', a theme that sounds like [[VideoGame/ProjectXZone Death. Constant, meaningless Death]]. Speaking of which, the awesome [[https://youtu.be/vG01rPyfzCg remix]] from ''VideoGame/ProjectXZone''.
