While we're hijacking the topic to discuss the HRtP soundtrack, I'd also like to say that it's amusing how ZUN apparently thought anyone would listen to more than 10 seconds of "Civilization of Magic" (Sariel's second theme) in-game.

I thought Sariel's second theme was "Let's All Die Together"?

Nope.

Its kinda hard to get the name wrong considering ZUN named Civilization of Magic in english

Seian Verian · « **Reply #272 on:** November 04, 2009, 01:08:46 AM »

I've seen it named "Let's All Die Together" "Let's Die Altogether" "Let's Die All Together" and "Civilization of Magic" myself, so... =/

The remix of it in MS is called "Civilization of Magic," but the original in HRtP is "Let's all Die Together."

Speaking of which, someone retranslated all the songs (and filled in the music room notes) and seems to have retitled Sariel's theme. Its new title is "Now, Until the Moment you Die." Admittingly this makes little sense, especially since that "now" is the same as Byakuren's "Now, in the name of the 3 treasures~"

Haaaah...tired much.

What is your favorite Stage 6 Boss Theme?

Let's just get right down to it. I used to say Suwa Foughten Field, hands down, but...

...not musically speaking, but I'm probably going to just BARELY have Infinite Being lose out to Yuka's Inanimate Dream, because not even Nuclear Fusion says FINAL BOSS like that one. (Musically I'd give Infinite Being the edge.)

Esoterica · « **Reply #275 on:** November 04, 2009, 05:32:23 AM »

Suwa Foughten Field easily.

If we can change this to "favorite final boss theme" though, then I'd say Unknown X ~ Unfound Adventure.

Shizumarashi Mayuzumi · « **Reply #276 on:** November 04, 2009, 05:33:23 AM »

Mmmmmm. Close call between Suwa Foughten Field and History of the Moon, with Bloom Nobly, Cherry Blossoms of Sumizome and Cosmic Mind trailing close behind.

... I'm just a big fan of the stage 6 boss themes in general. Generally moreso than the EX boss themes, too.

Tie between Bloom Nobly, Cherry Blossoms of Sumizome and Solar Sect of Mystic Wisdom ~ Nuclear Fusion.

nintendonut888 · « **Reply #278 on:** November 04, 2009, 05:39:09 AM »

Septette for the Dead Princess.

Azinth · « **Reply #279 on:** November 04, 2009, 05:45:28 AM »

Eh, I can't really settle on just one. Aside from Lunatic Princess and the Phantasmagoria final bosses they're all amazing themes. I'll just pick Infinite Being for no particular reason at all.

N-Forza · « **Reply #280 on:** November 04, 2009, 05:48:04 AM »

Border Of Life by a long shot.

Nine West · « **Reply #281 on:** November 04, 2009, 05:58:16 AM »

*Sigh*

Flight of the Bamboo Cutter ~ Lunatic Princess barely tops out against Septette for the Dead Princess.

I hate to say this, but PC-98's Final Boss Themes are not as impressive as Windows'.

Zengar Zombolt · « **Reply #282 on:** November 04, 2009, 06:15:46 AM »

Cosmic Mind.
Duh.

nintendonut888 · « **Reply #283 on:** November 04, 2009, 06:17:21 AM »

If Cosmic Mind kept up the momentum from the first 1:30, it might be my favorite. Sadly it does the same thing as Missing Power and settles into going into a weaker section of the song for a long period of time.

Seian Verian · « **Reply #284 on:** November 04, 2009, 06:27:36 AM »

Hm... Honestly, I'm not sure. Septette is beautiful, but it's severely harmed by the instruments from EoSD IMO. Border of Life and Cosmic Mind are also beautiful, and don't have Septette's problem. Surprisingly, I think Complete Darkness is in the running as well, despite having the PC-98 chiptune deal... Hm...

I'd say Cosmic Mind really. I can't put my finger on WHY it's so beautiful, but it is.

Also, this is kinda off-topic, but even though I normally prefer songs that are kind of intense and fast-paced (not sure how else to describe it) final boss themes in Touhou usually catch my attention just by being plain... I dunno, beautiful. Eh... Not that good at trying to say what I mean <_<;

LHCling · « **Reply #285 on:** November 04, 2009, 06:28:59 AM »

Infinite Being. Speaking of which, I could probably pull off a Perfect Stage 6 earlier than a Stage 5 one.

I agree so much. I love Septette in remixes (even just the IaMP/SWR versions), but I don't like the EoSD instrumentation either - I think the only piece I like as it appeared in-game from EoSD is Luna Dial.

ebarrett · « **Reply #287 on:** November 04, 2009, 07:19:35 AM »

Cosmic Mind. Infinite Being is a close second.

Honorable mention: Evening Star.

Affinity · « **Reply #288 on:** November 04, 2009, 07:38:57 AM »

Border of Life due to it's epic-ness.

Formless God · « **Reply #289 on:** November 04, 2009, 07:47:11 AM »

Cosmic Mind is the best freaking final boss theme ever.

theshirn · « **Reply #290 on:** November 04, 2009, 07:54:59 AM »

The amount of people who actually like Cosmic Mind makes me very sad.

Silent Harmony · « **Reply #291 on:** November 04, 2009, 08:01:09 AM »

Man I must be the only person who likes Nuclear Fusion. To me it's one of the most intense "boss songs" Zun has made, and one of the few times his trumpet sounds work.

Honorable Mention: Inanimate Dream.

I probably would've said Cosmic Mind as well, but I did climb up the "Emotional Skyscraper" which left me quite traumatized.

nintendonut888 · « **Reply #293 on:** November 04, 2009, 09:29:47 AM »

Whereas I scaled the skyscraper like King Kong (without the dying part).

But you had to go and think it was a scratching pole.

This is a good sentence. Septette is the best thing ZUN's ever composed, but its execution is somewhat flawed. Even so, it's probably my favourite final boss theme (based on what I like to listen to outside the game, not while playing).

Honourable mention goes to Suwa Foughten Field. Less honourable mention goes to Cosmic Mind.

Helepolis · « **Reply #296 on:** November 04, 2009, 10:44:54 AM »

Question was favorite stage 6 theme so I would go: Septette for the Dead Princess. ZUN + recompose Septette with current style = major win.

I see also that people are overrating Cosmic mind - emotional skyscraper, but let us not forget the question was: "favorite" and not "the best" because Yuyuko wins in that category.

Helix ⑨ · « **Reply #297 on:** November 04, 2009, 11:05:54 AM »

Either Border of Life (Yuyuko's 2nd theme, when you do that survival card in the end) or Flight of the Bamboo Cutter.

Honorable mentions to: mof, sa and ufo... yes that is pretty much all games I played but eosd (which is a nice theme aswell ._.)

c l e a r · « **Reply #298 on:** November 04, 2009, 11:20:42 AM »

This one is hard in a different way...

I can't decide between Suwa Foughten Field and Emotional Skyscraper.
I just can't.

Honorable mentions goes to Border of Life, and if it counts- Catastrophe in Bhava-agra ~ Wonderful Heaven.

Septette for the Dead Princess
