The music from Final Fantasy VIII that plays during the battles with Griever, Ultimecia / Griever and Ultimecia's final form. And all of them are extremely awesome. In fact, these just might be some of the most epic boss themes from the whole Final Fantasy series.

Premonition, the theme that plays when fighting Ultimecia's first form, is not in this collection because it's not exclusively used in that battle- it's also used when fighting Edea.

The Legendary Beast: This chaotic theme almost sounds as if you're on a ship in the middle of a storm or some kind of demented circus. It truly fits the dire nature of this final battle... This is in a very close duel with The Extreme for my favourite piece of music from this collection, and therefore one of the best pieces of boss music ever. For some reason I always feel like doing the Thriller dance whenever I hear this music...

Maybe I'm a Lion: HYAH!!! This theme is so awesome I hear it's even become Squall Leonhart's theme in certain spinoff titles. That drum beat is undeniably catchy.

The Extreme: WHOOOOA. After a beautiful yet strange intro, you are instantly thrust into an action-packed musical experience. The fate of the universe is at stake- you've fought a long battle with Ultimecia, and now it's time to bring the fight to her! I'm honestly debating right now whether or not I like this more than Seymour Battle- it's one of the best boss themes ever.
