"The Battle for Freedom"
Trouble with the audio sample?

"Struggle for Freedom" (自由への闘い, Jiyū e no Tatakai^?), also known as "The Battle for Freedom", is the final boss theme of Final Fantasy XII. It was composed by Hitoshi Sakimoto.

Within the piece can be heard a medley of boss themes throughout the game, including "Flash of Steel", "Discord [Imperial Version]", and "Life and Death", as well as the continuous riff of the "The Archadian Empire" and the Final Fantasy XII main theme; which is most prominent in the song's climax.
