Fantasy TOP - land of best fantasies

The last time I put together a Boss Battle Medley, I picked songs that my friend Mike and I enjoyed mutually since it was a gift to him. He’s familiar with a lot of the SNES/Playstation RPGs that I’ve never played, hence the emphasis on games like Final Fantasy, Chrono Cross and Secret of Mana.

Between all the “you have good taste” comments I received about it, I began to realize with guilt... that’s not quite my taste. That compliment is really directed towards Mike, the person who inspired me to arrange it in the first place. So, I started to wonder what I’d put in my own boss battle medley, were I arranging one as a gift to myself. After coming up with a list of songs, I’ve decided that the end result would sound... interesting. Even awful. Or maybe amazingly epic. It’s hard to tell.

I’d open with “The Extreme” from Final Fantasy VIII, using the introductory section between 0:19-1:40. I also like the sound of 3:16-3:48.
