Good list you've got there, but I can't believe you didn't include any tracks from Shenmue I or II! [-X

10. Policenauts - Embarrassment Murder Shoot for Angels

9. Metal Gear Solid 4 - Metal Gear Saga

8. Panzer Dragoon Saga - Atolm Dragon

7. Shenmue II - Arm Wrestling

6. Shenmue - Battle 2 (Earth and Sea)

5. Skies of Arcadia - Bombardment 2

4. Panzer Dragoon Saga - The Black Fleet

3. Shenmue II - Hong Kong Battle

2. Skies of Arcadia - Battle Theme 1

1. Shenmue - Battle 1

Oh, whoops. I didn't read the title closely enough. Nevertheless I refuse to change my list.

FF8's battle/boss themes were OK, but sounded a bit like watered down and not quite as good versions of what was in FF7. The Man with the Machine Gun (the fight theme for the Laguna parts) made up for that though, by being one of my favourite FF tunes of them all!

Shenmue is no more an RPG than Devil May Cry is. But I see you included Metal Gear Solid 4, so... I dunno, maybe you just misread the title.

EDIT: Nevermind, you caught it.

Mine are in no real order. They're all just ones I really like.

Final Fantasy XIII - Blinded By Light

Parasite Eve - U.B.

Parasite Eve - Arise Within You

Dark Souls - Dark Sun Gwyndolin (never actually fought the boss, but this music is excellent)

Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne - Normal Battle

Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne - Normal Battle (Town)

Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne - Dante Battle

Black Rock Shooter: The Game - Alien class.A "XNFE / SAHA"

Crisis Core - Encounter

Crisis Core - Controlling the Iron Beast

And a trillion others, but I can't narrow them down.
