@Anti-Matter I'm rooting for your song at this point to win. I prefer Healing Vision Angelic Mix, but DE-STRAD is great too, love how it sounds like it'll fall apart at any second with its tempo and intensity.
The rounds are only going to get tighter from here but winners must be chosen. From this set we have Wind Waker at 5-3, DDR SuperNOVA at 6-5, Sonic Generations at 6-4, and Octopath Traveller at 5-2. Link to the bracket
Narrowly slipping into the quarterfinals are Etrian Odyssey IV at 5-2, Denpa Men 3 with the tiebreaker at 4-4, Paper Mario: The Origami King at 5-4, and Persona Q at 4-3. Link to the bracket
Molgera for me on the first one. It's not my favourite version of the song (the Hyrule Warriors one is hands down the best) but it's still a banger (plus the chickas are pretty great as well).
The other one I voted for was Decisive Battle II from Octopath. Big Arms is iconic and the Generations version is the best one of it, but as someone who has played Octopath (admittedly for only about 15 hours), Decisive Battle II is just so, so, SO good. I love orchestrated pieces in video game music and man is that song beautiful.

Jumping in… Think Sonic Generations and Octopath Traveler are my two favourites. Shame one has to go out here.
I’ll also say that Paper Mario feels like a cheat, because it’s a reinterpretation of an incredibly famous piece of music that has already stood the test of time. That said, it’s still brilliant.
Now that Square Enix has finally uploaded soundtracks themselves we shouldn’t have to worry about links getting nuked anymore.
Anyway, the quarterfinals were very tight but the songs moving on to the semifinals are Wind Waker at 6-3, Octopath Traveller at 5-4, Etrian Odyssey IV with a tiebreaker at 5-5, and Persona Q at 5-4. Link to the bracket
So I looked into the Etrian Odyssey composer because the song sounds kinda like a Xenoblade song. He did not work on Xenoblade but he's done a lot including a song in...Persona Q. Not this song specifically, because that coincidence would've been too much.
This is it, we’ve finally made it to the end. Our finalists for the best boss themes are…
Octopath Traveller with the 3-3 tiebreaker and Etrian Odyssey IV at 5-1!
Thanks to everyone who has participated, especially those that have stuck around since the beginning of this massive tournament. May the best song win!
