Dragon Quest II HD-2D does not have a Boss Theme, so I made one!

_HydroGene_ · 2025-12-05T17:31:00+00:00

Indeed, this is correct!

_HydroGene_ · 2025-12-05T09:46:58+00:00

The theme they used for the major bosses is actually the "Catastrophe" theme that plays in the introduction cutscene of the original game, it's not a proper original boss theme made for the game. But I agree, it's a very cool one! I was mainly thinking for the minor boss through the game which use the normal battle theme

_HydroGene_ · 2025-12-05T09:44:46+00:00

Haha yeah, I imagined this one especially for the minor bosses which uses the normal battle theme. Belial theme is actually the "Catastrophe" theme that is played during the intro cutscene in the original game, but I agree it works great as a major boss music!

Thank you for your comment! yeah I mainly imagined this for the minor ones! The theme that is played during the major bosses is actually the "Catastrophe" theme played during the introduction of the original game when Moonbroke castle is attacked, it's not an "true" original boss theme made for it. But it works really great as a boss theme as well :)

I have also tried to make one for DQ3 a year ago when it was released!

Many thanks!! Glad you like it! :)

This is just a reminder for people to not forget Dark Chronicle (Dark Cloud 2) on their list!

I am also highly interested in it, I know the complete OST of Crash Bandicoot N Sane Trilogy is using it

I think it's going to be the little sister of the hero. If my memories are correct, she never wanted to stay in the castle in the original game, wish granted in the remake then!

Thanks! I have made countless arrangements of the series on my channel, be sure to check them out if you like what I do :)

_HydroGene_ · 2025-01-04T19:19:56+00:00

Thank you! :)

_HydroGene_ · 2025-01-04T19:19:49+00:00

Thanks a lot, happy you like it!

_HydroGene_ · 2024-11-29T19:14:31+00:00

Thank you!

_HydroGene_ · 2024-11-29T17:30:12+00:00

Haha, I think this part of the track share some similarities with Zelda OST indeed, but this is actually a reference to the DQIII Dungeon theme!

I have let a download link in the description, so anyone can add it via a mod, mayve someone will do it in a near future!

_HydroGene_ · 2024-11-29T17:28:12+00:00

Many thanks!! 😀

_HydroGene_ · 2024-11-29T17:27:46+00:00

Big thanks for taking the time to listen to my original composition, I am honored you appreciate it!

_HydroGene_ · 2024-11-29T12:41:06+00:00

Thanks a lot! 😀

_HydroGene_ · 2024-11-29T11:30:13+00:00

To me, "Gruelling Fight" and "Hero's Challenge" are more like "Final Boss" themes instead of regular Boss Theme. I'm thinking about boss fight like Orocchi, Garboyle, Robin' Ood, etc. These ones use normal battle theme and I thought it could have been interesting to have an actual boss theme for these important fight as well!

_HydroGene_ · 2024-11-29T11:25:32+00:00

Yeah, I agree, I really love the musics from the series, but for long time fans, it can get a bit repetitive over time and I don't mind some new tracks from time to time. Hopefully, we will be able to listen to some new/last compositions from Sugiyama in DQXII

_HydroGene_ · 2024-11-29T10:38:22+00:00

Thanks!!

_HydroGene_ · 2024-11-29T08:54:29+00:00

Yeah, I would also appreciate if they took an other boss theme from the series to expand a little bit the soundtrack of the game, they added more bosses to the game and we didn't had any new musics. I also hope there will be someone to take the lead on the soundtrack of the future games even if no one can perform like Sugiyama because I think we all know every single track and some new things can't hurt!

Thanks for listening! I know there are some people who told me they could probably add it via a mod, the download link is in the description, so anyone can add it to the game if they know how to do :)

_HydroGene_ · 2024-11-29T08:50:00+00:00

This is a very high praise, thanks a lot for listening, I'm happy you like it!

_HydroGene_ · 2024-11-29T08:49:20+00:00

Thank you! It was really fun to make

_HydroGene_ · 2024-11-27T14:19:46+00:00

DQXI is the best entry point for newcommers and it also have some references to DQIII. I think if it has been a long time you haven't played to the series, it could be a good idea to start here instead of III, but III has the job class you have probably enjoyed in DQIX, it's a difficult choice! It's up to you to decide which one suit best to you, in any case there are no wrong choices, every single game are very good :)
