Dragon Quest XI [Symphonic] - Hero's Challenge (III)

[ilexgarodan]

The only way to cap off an epic game of this magnitude is to bring back the final battle theme from III, which is equally epic.

[DiegoNacho]

I envy all those that grew up already hearing this theme and then hearing it again in this game!

DQXI S was my first DQ game. I think this is one of the most epic final battle theme ever!

[jacoblucas]

I can't wait to hear this in DQ III's Octopath-style HD-2D remake

[ultrazappy]

Literally all I think about when this version of Hero's Challenge plays is Serena raising her left arm and casting *Omniheal*

[LunaticTheGame]

My jaw literally dropped once this started playing.
I was so shocked that they brought this back to be the final boss

*Veronica casts Magic Burst*
*Mask starts to crack*

[christopherchasteen]

Wait... wrong final boss... uh... oh yeah!

[geekdaparaiba]

One of Koichi Sugiyama's finest masterpieces...

RIP Koichi Sugiyama. You had a good fight, besides your problems...

[reinaldogomezlarenas]

Is The Luminary the most powerful hero of his time? No man, it is Erik. Fucking Super Saiyan Erik, the boss killer!!!

[vroom]

Everyone: Finally 2020 is over
2021: *Music starts playing*

[ooofritada]

FINALLY. Why is this the only video on YouTube that has this kickass final battle theme to the best RPG I’ve ever played?

[Thrifty]

It's a great song. It's complex, and makes great use of the full orchestra. All songs in the soundtrack make good use of it, but this one really shows off the diversity of instruments and the sounds they produce.

I'm so envious of people who are able to create music like this. People who can understand music well enough to figure out the right way to combine sounds in such a way. I have absolutely zero artistic ability.

[GSavel]

Just realized this has a leitmotif from Unknown World at 0:16

[Nomi_MirXa]

0:16 is just pure epicness fit for a true final boss

[wowomah]

This should be in the category of best video game music ever created. And frankly, this was probably the best Dragon Quest game ever created...just when you thought the game was over, the plot only thickens...

[gallantblade]

Thank you for uploading this. Been searching forever.

Seriously, this game had one heckuva finale, and this song was icing on a practically perfect cake.

[alecsangster]

God, what a fucking masterpiece. Even if you don't have a deep understanding of music, you can appreciate that this is genius. If you have the knowledge, this blows your mind.

[RhysHill-urlq]

This is the music for the ultimate battle between the light and the darkness

[Derekrife]

DQ3 still has the best final boss theme in the entire series.
