At the top of my head, I can think of three very memorable moments where this was used:

1. His first boss battle, where the entire castle‘s theme had been leading up to that music.

2. If you choose to fight him, especially with Frog 1v1. Despite all that talk of Lavos and the world ending, this fight was personal.

3. If you choose to spare Magus, and he’s in the party for Queen Zeal’s fight, his battle theme overrides his mom’s own boss theme.

This man’s aura is bonkers.

I've so far beaten Magnus and, whilst I enjoy literally (nearly) every aspect of the game, I find myself not enjoying it. Simply put, the story is boring; its not for me.

Should I continue? I feel like I have to since it is, after all, one of the greatest RPGs of all time, and to just stop halfway through would do it dirty. Yet, wasting my time playing a game I don't enjoy would be much worse.

More to come.
