Compilation of RPG Boss Battle Themes - Part I
10The genre of Role Playing Video Games has been around since 70's, with the first ever being a game based off of DnD fittingly enough, and since then it has evolved and split off into many different sub genres. Many RPGs have great music, and even better boss themes. These are some of my favorites, it is not a ranking of songs as there are definitely more great themes out there that I probably forgot about.
