February 7, 201115 yr The idea behind the piece was the fight between Cloud and Sephiroth in the movie Advent Children. For those who don't know what movie that is, it's based off the game Final Fantasy 7. Sorry if the ending is not satisfying. I am pretty ADD when it comes to music. I get ideas in my head and want to start a new song. So the ending kind of ends abruptly. This is also the first song I have uploaded onto this site. I am a newbie. :p Boss Battle
February 7, 201115 yr That's beast, dude. I like it. I've never seen Advent Children (altho i want to...), but it sounded very boss battle-y to me! :) I especially liked the part at around 1:17. Very cool. I think some female "alto" vocals would sound cool there. Maybe just like "ahh"s or vowel sounds or something. Still it's just a suggestion. I didn't mind the end. The only thing I would say is that if you intend to have it be used for a real game, make sure it loops. (We don't know how long the player will be fighting for, lol. :lol:) Also, I found myself getting a bit bored about 2 mins. in, but if I'm playing a game, I definitely won't be. The music would just be in the background getting me pumped while I try to beat the boss! Nice Job!
February 7, 201115 yr Author Thanks for the fast response. Im glad you enjoyed this. When you get the chance to see that movie, listen to this song again and replay the fight in your head and you will then truly know how well this song fits. ;) and I would loop it somewhere if this song was actually going to be on a game somewhere. But I agree with you. And as for the female vocals, i agree with that also. I was actually gonna do that throughout this song. I just couldnt quite get the vocals to sound the way I wanted to.
February 8, 201115 yr Bosses are usually significantly superior to regular enemies, and are usually found at the end of a level or area. - it a grate game! :)
February 9, 201115 yr Nice and intense, I could definitely see myself kicking some powerful RPG boss's butt to this piece. It's repetitive, but music like this generally is, especially considering its purpose. I have to agree with the above sentiments, I was expecting some vocals to chime in at some point or another. IMO the ending wasn't all that abrupt, it worked pretty well.
February 9, 201115 yr At first, when I thought of this song in Advent Children, the scene that came into my head was more the motor chasing scene, rather than the Sephiroth battle. But maybe I'm just used to One Winged Angel too much? Hehe. Overall, a cool piece. And as others have said, slightly repetitive, but in boss battles, people tend to focus a lot more on the gameplay than the music, so this is not a major issue. I would also go for choir sounds, especially if you had Sephiroth, or a similar character for that matter, in mind. It would also help to break through the monotony, I think.
