This is one of my favourite boss themes ever, and it seems like it would have worked perfectly in the Rex VS Ray battle in Metal Gear Solid 4... except it didn't. The first half of the song (which I prefer) is reserved only for the section before the battle, and the second part of the song becomes inaudible when you're farther away from RAY.

That's a huge shame because on its own this theme is one of the best themes I've heard in a boss battle. In context, it sounds perfect for a match between mechanical titans, and out of context it's mind-blowingly awesome too, with orchestra, some techno and even subtle hints of electric guitar here and there. It's a freaking amazing boss theme, and it's sad that most players haven't been able to experience its full greatness due to its misuse.

...Which is why I hope that in Forum Fantasy it ends up working to its fullest extent! Yup, this is another boss theme in that game, playing during a battle with a high-profile admin on the site.
