>Final boss's first phase is just instrumental music

Mistral is the best boss fight in Metal Gear Rising, partially for this reason.

for a shit game it had some alright music.

>>389461072
Sonic games range from good to shit but I'd say they always have an alright soundtrack

>>389457148
what games do this as good as metal gear rising besides metal gear rising

>>389461329
Persona 5 with Rivers in the Desert.

>>389461329
Gehrman

>>389458226
gravity rush 2 is the only one i can think of that does this

>>389461502
Am I crazy, I don't remember Gehrman having lyrics

>>389461329
kind of cheating, but a couple boss fights in automata do this

>>389457148
>music progresses as you progress in the level, sounding like the machines around you are naturally emitting the sounds

>>389461610
just choir

>>389461683
didn't care for automata but the music was definitely poppin

>lyrics begin to fade in as you get the boss to half health

>>389461720
This immediately comes to mind for me
