Folks, please let's not devolve this thread into a subjective debate about which musical theme is "the best" musical theme. Due to the subjectivity of this whole topic, I don't think that there even a "best" or "worst" theme by definition. Everyone likes what they like. Same goes for the characters here.
Pure Furies is the best boss theme and one of the best themes in the series. Deal with it.
While Pure Furies is certainly my favorite in the entire franchise, I wouldn't argue with "the best" or "the worst" because of aforementioned reasons. Everyone has different tastes, and if someone declares a certain theme/character to be "the best", which sounds like an established fact, which it is not, risks to set off an unnecessary clash.
Wow I'm not the only one who thinks Pure Furies is massively overrated. Even beyond it's mostly bland feel, I've been telling people this whole time that the drums are slightly out of sync with the rest of the instruments and it drives me crazy. The curse of having a good ear for rhythm, I guess. :V
Damnit, you almost made me consider swapping places between Pure Furies and The Concealed Four SeasonsI'm not quite sure what other people think about this, but in my ears, "overrated" is such an impure word to use here. It almost sounds like looking down on people who like this theme, same actually goes for saying that any of the, say, Top 20 themes, is "overrated", especially Septette and U.N. Owen, which have been holding the throne for God knows how long. They are not my favorites by a long shot, but even then I firmly refrain from using this word, because it sounds kinda provoking to me and thus it could provoke other people as well.
I guess everyone takes that word differently, huh.
Also, I think that the drum rhythm in Pure Furies is near perfection with the overall melody, considering what this theme is supposed to convey. It evokes such a great deal of emotions for me to the extend that "bland" almost sounds like an insult, but then again, you do you, I do me.
With all that's been said, please at least let's not judge other people's tastes. Sharing one's tastes is perfectly fine, as long as those are respected by everybody involved.
