Sephiroth's theme literally chants his name

HERE’S THE INTERESTING PART

Composer Nobuo Uematsu didn't just write a scary song; he built an auditory boss fight. Sephiroth's iconic theme "One-Winged Angel" from Final Fantasy VII leverages an intense, aggressive Latin choir chanting his actual name to assert dominance over the player. It’s a genius psychological trick: the music itself is commanding you to respect the villain before he even swings his sword.
