Cave Story Arranged - Last Battle (Ballos Mix)

Throughout the 19th, I'll be posting some fan favorites of one of my biggest arrangement projects of 2014.

Notes about this track:
This is what you get when a vengeful spirit of flesh and blood tries to destroy an island riddled with a terrible crown. A culmination of Mimiga Town, Eyes of Flame, Geothermal, Gestation, Meltdown 2, and even Gravity make special little segues in this grand finale of a mix.

Hello again, Calamity enthusiasts!
I'll be taking some time to purge Calamity comments here, as they aren't exactly relevant to Cave Story. Really sorry about this decision, but I hope you understand.

[TheAdvertisement]

Even back in 2014 he had those bells! I love how well this builds on the original theme, and the chiptune parts are amazing!

[SLvoid]

It's sad that everyone is just saying "lol calamity bells funi" and nobody is just talking about how fucking amazing this sounds, from the beginning you were a legend DM DOKURO.

[draedon]

this is a perfect example for "like father, like son" with Last Battle is the father and the DoG theme is the son

[Cerberex]

The fact that this didn't get as much attention as the undertale stuff you did concerns me, considering the level of quality present here. This is beautiful

[patrolfp]

Old song, but I feel like I can hear a lot of things here that inspired the theme of DoG. Also, gotta say this is a sick remix. Much better than any remix I've ever heard of Cave Story. Good to see that you always were a *sick as hecc* musician.

[mistahjenkins]

If I ever make a game, I want this guy to be in charge of the soundtrack!!!

[mainescapade]

Holy shit.
HOLY SHIT

Hands down my favorite cave story remix project, that includes the official remasters. This needs more exposure!

[mailcs]

Theme of “I’ve already lost 80% of my health to the Blood Stained Sanctuary, now you want me to fight a boss without a save point?!”

[gavindillon]

I pity ballos, i *_REALLY_* do. Betrayed, tortured, driven to madness, then sealed away, only wanting the release of death, but too mad to kill himself.

[lord_cereal]

This is, by far, the greatest last battle version I have ever heard. Amazing song.

[murphmariotwopointoh]

2014: Wow, what a neat remix of a Cave Story song.
2017: _W O R M B O S S_

[kristaIcIear]

Finally. A song that feels like an epic final battle, didn't forget what the original melody sounded like, and it even has an added bonus of giving you the feeling that "this moment is what I've been fighting for!!!". 2015/10. Or higher. The most feels I've felt in a while.

[RegalRoyalWasTaken]

This... This is INSANE. AND IN A GOOD WAY. HOLY CRAP, YOU DESERVE MASSIVE PROPS.

[seniorblastoise]

This music makes me feel like I should create more accounts to like this video.

[liliflower]

Some of your best work, I just keep coming back, even years later

[maximoayala]

*Goes to school
*Realizes who my Best Friend is hearing a epic theme
*He shows me Cave Story
*Questioned to myself why i didn't know the game before
*Plays Cave Story, loved the game



Thank you for this masterpiece Mr.Dokuro (ik its DM xD)

[EhanuRehu]

It's this kind of music that makes me stoked for this game all over again. I feel pumped enough to try beating Ballos again.

*half-hour later*

Welp, still not beaten ;_;

[TheCmario]

Wonderful remix: really emphasizes the culmination of things riding on this battle.  Not only everything Quote has done, but also all the stories and losses required by the other chars.

The true meaning of "This means everything."

[nadojin]

Magnificent.
It's astonishing how well you blended the other boss themes into the mix too, I don't think anyone's thought to doing that in the past.
Every instrument is on point, and the new original segments of the song fit in seamlessley. 
I'm proud to have the album.
