The Evil Lord X-Death

Template:Listen

This is the song used when facing the source of all conflict in FFV: Exdeath. A tense melody is carried by drums that sound like the pounding of the earth.

Description for "The Decisive Battle" in Theatrhythm Final Fantasy.

"The Evil Lord Exdeath" is the theme of Exdeath, the antagonist of Final Fantasy V. It was composed by Nobuo Uematsu.

It begins with a theme similar to the one from the famous murder scene of Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho and contains beats from "Battle 2", the main boss theme. Throughout the theme, measures can be heard from "Ring of Bomb" from Final Fantasy IV compounded by dramatic strings that culminates the suspense.
