Dragon Quest IV DS Music - Boss Battle

[@Phoenix-dp9up]

I would’ve never guessed how much of an absolute BEAST Alena is just by looking at her

[@andrejg4136]

Pint sized powerhouses (especially the cute female kind) are a perfectly tolerable break from reality for me.

[@AlmightyPolarBear]

Always had her in my main team when they got together. She is the damage dealer.

[@christopherchasteen4990]

Looks like a mage, but is a powerful martial artist. Give her the Falcon Knife Earrings, and she'll be wrecking foes, even Metal Slimes!

[@Apolleh]

Still one of my favorite subversions. I caught on that chapters 1-4 were semi tutorials each focusing on a specific mechanic, and with a lack of magic in ch1 which I presumed was the 'teach you the basics' chapter, I figured ch2 would focus on magic. And following early JRPG tropes I assumed Princess + Funny Hat = Magic User. Needless to say, that thought went out the already broken wall that Alena REbroke and *then* the magic users joined.

there is a saying from cooking that i once heard that says the smallest chili peppers always burn the hottest. unfortunately, i got that as a very personal spicy lesson after scratching my face after handling chili peppers that were as hot as molten metal. 🤪

[@kessho4494]

This brings back flashbacks of fighting Marquis de Léon. *shudders That fight was hard as fuck.

[@eldercobra9997]

please don't remind me....that was a dark time in my life

[@DoomfaceVagabond]

Even with Falcon Blade once i won from casino, Marquis de Leon still not easy to chew.

[@foxybingo1112]

IF RitoruDemon Best fight in the game. Really satisfying beating him.

[@Butords123]

In French,her name is Lord Lionel (bonjour les anglophones), and i remerber using cheats to try to killing him , but thats no work and after 2hours, i understanding how to beat him :"just dying ,lol" And I believed that it was also necessary to die during the second fight against him.So painful moments during my childhood ... But i finished the game after 80 hours , i loved so much this game

[@glassbob9871]

I just beat Leon yesterday with Hero, Meena, Maya, and Ragnar! It felt super triumphant! Having Meena focus on healing while Maya sap away Leon's defense and casting huge fireball makes the fight alot easier. If possible, equip the Hero or Ragnar with Dragonbane to end the fight under 10 turns!

[@EverestBlizzard]

Dear lord, the liftoff, that bass, that drumroll, the way it never feels too uptight but still lets you know it's a boss...damn.

[@BioSmorg]

This is by far one of the best boss battle themes I have ever heard.

[@pkmusik3026]

Only DQ5 beats it

[@AlastorShadow0]

@@pkmusik3026 NOPE! Out of DQ4, DQ5, and DQ6 the boss themes get worse in my opinion so of course out of those 3 DQ4's is the best I mean of course it is!

[@AlastorShadow0]

Can't say I can disagree, but out of Dragon Quest boss themes I think DQ8 might beat it.

I love dragon quest seriously best RPG series eva!!! With the best music also!!! And the thing i love most about it is that even with all the new systems and technology it still stays old school no matter what!!! Live on dragon quest!!!

[@gamerprince-tl5hg]

My favorite boss theme out of the DS remake trilogy

[@Naptacular98]

gamerprince1999 agreed. Has such a classic old school Rpg vibe.

[@VarthRock]

Personally my favorite boss theme from this game series.

[@civilwildman]

I have yet to play DQVI, and I actually played the NEE version of this game instead of this one, but honestly I currently prefer DQV’s overall.

[@OutlawOtaku]

What an epic boss theme, really sets the mood for a big battle.

[@NeoMasamune2too]

Dragonquest/warrior 4 is one of my all time favorite rpgs.

[@carbonliquidmetalstarman2095]

this version of this theme is LEGENDARY!

[@civilwildman]

Damn, the bass in this track really slaps! :D

Damn straight!!

Kochi Sugiyama became MJ in this track. 🔥

1:01 You're welcome

[@JokinJoe]

What a weird combination of styles.... It works though! First disco/orchestrated boss battle I've heard and it's pretty epic!

[@Levitz9]

I feel that this song perfectly captures everything necessary for a boss theme. Also, it's quite catchy!

[@colerocks7572]

Shit's going down with an intro like that

[@finallyjeremy8217]

DAT BASS

[@Disembow1280]

It's a boss battle about nothing! *cue the Seinfeld slap bass riff*

[@sofiadavies5424]

But it's all about DAT Bass

[@XablazedX]

I'm amazed a JRPG has some nasty ass bass riffs

Why do you like bass?

[@Komikmaker]

@@Disembow1280 What's the deal with Psaro?!

this theme gets me so hyped

hero casts ~ gigasword, kuryll casts ~ kybuff, boyra casts ~ acclelerattle - everyones agility goes up, Raygnar attacks.

[@ilhamfitrinurilhuda3915]

Very close to psx version, has improvement. Great music.

[@Tidus0203]

this is my favorite of all the DQ boss themes

[@The-ii5jo]

I love the bass but damn those drums 🤤

[@theinsanegamer1024]

0:00 - 0:15 This is where malyvonyx battle theme (Dragon Quest Monsters Joker 2) gets his inspiration from...

[@dragotheshinigami7004]

Wow. Now that's what I hear now.

[@Liamcb93]

Psaro is back in DQM: The Dark Prince!

[@nintendo8127]

You mean, you get to control Kiryl and not have cast Thwack on bosses? In all seriousness, this song is great, and unlike the NES version, I found every character in this game to be useful.

[@Erghest]

This is only the boss theme, the normal "rolling crescendos" battle theme is still heard a lot throughout the game~

[@Browntown747]

My fav DQ boss theme

[@Prolyfic8]

There's a song in Shiren 2/N64 who has a similar composition to this one. It's not surprising since the both of them were composed by Sugiyama.

[@Supernir]

Really now? I'll check it out thank you

[@BujuArena]

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh! I see now. Thanks for the info, Erghest. I was under the impression the original battle music was completely replaced with this.

[@requiemlarp]

@supremakey: Each character group on the cover (Ragnar McRyan, Alena, Mina/Maya, Solo and Torneko) are the 'main characters' of their respective chapters. Healie isn't a 'major' character, so can be left off.

[@brodiger]

I Really Love this song but every time i hear the symphonic version it sounds like classical to me

[@supremakey]

WTF WHY ISNT HEALIE ON THE COVER?!?!?!

[@Liamcb93]

Although HotHB is way better than CotC, i think this is the bettr boss theme by far. Dragon Quest > Final Fantasy.

[@EverestBlizzard]

Not sure if I fully agree on which game is better, but yeah, Dragon Quest is hugely underappreciated compared to FF. FF is good, but DQ kinda outclasses it in every conceivable way.

[@WhiteDevil-kl3ru]

@@EverestBlizzard Dragon Quest only underappreciated in the West only. It is immensely popular in the Japan, more so than Final Fantasy.

[@garethrice4393]

@@EverestBlizzard Final Fantasy has wayy better plots though, and the gameplay evolves with every new installment

[@EverestBlizzard]

Gareth Rice I respectfully disagree with the plot, and Dragon Quest has also built upon its tried and true gameplay. As I said, I don’t think FF is bad in any way, but I find the characters, story and gameplay better in Dragon Quest

[@lookinlikeapinkrabbit4569]

The thing that mainly gets me coming back to DQ is the battle system.

[@luizth42]

I love Maya and Alena

[@sarasaland4709]

Marquis de Léon's theme because you'll probably be hearing it a few times given his ice breath is incredibly cheap.

[@faded_red9373]

Frfr. I spent an hour on him during my first playthrough

[@Levitz9]

@KarateCop Wow, that really is an improvement. The only way to top that is to have an orchestra play it!

This wasn't in the Dragon Warrior IV I know and love. :( Where's the continuous, rolling battle music complete with crescendos? This doesn't capture the feelings from the original game at all to me. I wish they could have just released the original game on the DS. That would be easier for them and better to introduce new players (kids) to the feelings that come with the game.

Currently playing DQ11 S, and the boss theme is so bad compared to this one from DQ4. It's sad.

[@jamesalexander5559]

Yeah DQ11 kind of dropped the ball when it came to music. It's even worse if you played the original game since the soundtrack is midi. Not that there's anything wrong with midi itself but the samples used sucked ass.

[@cypher838]

@@jamesalexander5559 dq11 has a great soundtrack.

​@@cypher838 In terms of compositions that originate from DQ11 and not previous games (the majority of the music used in DQ11 is from prior games) I disagree. It's not bad but it's not as good as prior entries imo.
