Template:Listen

A battle theme used for boss fights in FFXII. The orchestral timbre is lavish and the iconic melody flows and builds a majestic air of daring and courage.

"Boss Battle" (ボス戦, Bosu Ikusa?) is the regular boss battle theme from Final Fantasy XII.

The track intro starts with percussion that builds up alongside the "Dalmasca Resistance" theme, then joined with strings and wind instruments. The climax is a clash of louder percussion, which abruptly ends with strings repeating the intro.
