God-tier tropes in vidya

Can't recall how Undertale did it, but Tales of Xillia 2 used its main theme as the final boss theme as well as the family lullaby used by the MC's older brother. It leaves a huge impression during the last time he sings it to you.

flowey's final section made that entire fight honestly, just when youre starting to wonder "fuck when does this shit end" you get a flawless cinematic and musical transition into that hype final bit

the ace combat series, especially AC7. but it's more thematic motifs i.e. music becomes percussive when youre fighting drones

Not in any Persona, Mainline, or any other SMT spin-off has a final boss theme even come close to Battle for Everyone's Souls or even Burn My Dread ~Final Battle~

Fire Emblem Echoes. Helps that the leitmotif is amazing as well. Fates did it too but not as good and by the end of the game you kind of just want Azura to keep that mouth shut

WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS!?!?

there's an old psp game called rengoku, just like many psp and ps3 games, selecting the game's icon on the xmb menu plays a song before you start it . that song never appears in the game until you reach the final boss, where a similar version of the song plays.
youtube.com/watch?v=yCdKntyB5c4
then game makes you play all over again to reach the real final boss. the new song starts similarly to the previous one, until the exact same version of the original song starts playing

Superbosses or true-for final bosses are always a God-tier trope, specially if they come with extra lore and a non-obligatory sub-plot that deepens the main lore (for example, Lavos from Chrono Trigger).

Also, ambiguous enemies who aren't evil, just have different ideals from you. Bonus points if you can actually recruit/play them.

We all know it so i'm not bothering with the greentext. The parts in MGS where you had to button mash to survive torture was pretty immersive in my opinion, especially the Peace Walker one. Nothing was funner than trying to escape that cell while my friend was screaming in agony to keep Snake from dieing. Only to have my turn next because I fucked around for to long. Those moments inbetween the pain you have for a quick breath before the pain starts again.

>character is hyped up to be OP
>he joins the party
>is actually really strong
I love this. In this particular example, the guy actually sacrifices himself and gets sent to another world/dimension filled with strong monsters. It's pretty much assumed that he died. Then after a long time passes, I think there was a time skip involving a number of years, this guy just walks back into the story and says something like "yeah those monsters were strong, but I was stronger. Also I used my power to destroy that entire other world" in the most casual way possible. I love this guy, I wonder if anyone will know what game I'm talking about. Hint: This is a remake that fans of the original/series don't like. Since I was neither of these, I enjoyed the game a lot.

I was thinking of The Legend of Legacy when I posted that.
This cat here is your save game kitty.
He shows up across the areas on pedestals and gives you presents sometimes, usually a pebble.
In a later area called the Bottomless Pit, he shows up in an early pathway, but if you talk to him, he gets taken by a shadowy vortex, and is completely gone for the whole rest of the playthrough (the cushion where he used to sit just saves instead, and it says sad messages like "It's very quiet." or something like that). Afterwards you receive an important key item called the shadow stone.
However, when you instead ignore that pedestal in the pit and go to the lowest, spike and trap filled floor (that has minibosses as regular enemies), you will trigger a battle against 3 dangerous enemy minibosses all at the same time, and if you beat it you also get the stone and Coco will be safe.

>final boss music starts as either the final boss or the main character(s) give the last part of their speech before the battle begins
Nothing sets the mood better

Love this, even in animes where the ending song plays like 10 seconds before the ending animation.

>hubworld progressively gets more developed and populated as you get further in the game

conversely
>hub world deteriorates and falls apart as you approach the end of the game
>right before the final boss it's in shambles

>final boss incorporates all the major puzzle elements you faced throughout the whole game

sounds like the witcher 2
both roche and iorveth are dicks but you become bros with them as the game progresses, and the scoia tael are based in that game

too bad they dropped the whole non-human theme in TW3

Previous game protagonist is a (secret) boss battle
>Demifiend in DDS
>Red in Gold Silver Crystal
>nearly had the BW1 protagonists in BW2, but at least they’re in romhacks
>Agent 3 in the Splatoon 2 dlc

I think Dark Souls 3 did this too, but I forgot the full context.

>final boss is in the ravaged hub world
honestly i'm a sucker for any "final boss is in an apocalyptic atmosphere", whether it's a bunch of magma or fire or a black hole

I loved how the final dark souls 3 dlc boss fight involved literally travelling forward in time until the entire world was a barren wasteland

What do you mean "version"? If you're talking about Paradox, that's a separate game and should be played after the original.

The Final Boss of DS3 is literally the player character(s) from DS1 and the final boss of DS1 combined. His first phase uses the movesets of different playstyles before switching to an upgraded version of the DS1 final boss' moveset, complete with theme change.

Not really a trope, but
>normal battle theme is the best theme in the game
youtube.com/watch?v=tv4p3O-q1KI

I would consider this more of a flaw

Why? It's the theme you'll be hearing 50% of the game

DS2 had something similar. While not a final boss, the battle with benetnasch happens while your world is being deleted and a scar that erases all slowly covers the overworld map and can even be seen in some battles

all three xiv expacs have great motifs and uses

my dude if you like this song and have not listened to this, you HAVE to. i personally think it sounds even better than the game's ost because of them horns

SaGa games usually do, RS2/3, the Frontier games, Unlimited and Scarlet Grace all has heavy use of leitmotif, Frontier 2 and Unlimited might be the best at it though.

He came back, but he seems changed, it seems he cancelled Ninja Tears and is working on a new project called Air Marty that seems completely different. store.steampowered.com/app/1076880/Air_Marty/

fucking almost anything, leitmotifs are a staple of game design jesus christ

Ok, but here's the thing

they outdid that version, too youtube.com/watch?v=9UieCoHm91E

You lived thousands of years with your pals. They're perfect and everyone lives in a perfect society.

They all die and humanity is born
Humans are a piece of shit

You can revive your old society and everyone who died if you sacrifice the current humans.

I'd say he's pretty justified.
