He's definitely the best in terms of character, I agree. I just find his random lines and his accent very enjoyable every time he shows up in a cutscene XD But yeah, he always made me want to throw my controller at the screen. The Katana XXY combo helps a lot against him though. And HOORAY FOR CRAZY STATUS : D
I find the Scythe XX->Y combo to be the best. Unfortunately, he can be a real dick and frame trap you with those projectile spams up close. And if he just doesn't feeling like doing any unsafe attacks, he won't, dragging the fight out way too long. What's better is we have to fight him 4 TIMES EACH PLAYTHROUGH
That's really the only thing I hate about fighting Regent. He was a good boss! There was no reason to make fighting him grow stale by forcing us to battle him four times throughout the story. I'd complain harder about such an awkward design decision if his theme weren't so epic to listen to each time.
Definitely. Although I'm a bit peeved that the battle theme which played in Ryu Day 2 before the Alchemists in the NG3RE demo didn't make it into the OST. Not sure why that track wasn't included since it was so good :/
The only reason I remember Alma's theme so well was that I had to repeat my Very Hard boss fight against her 70+ times in a row after all those constant deaths. From the checkpoint I had half life left, no potions, one ninpo, and only 99 arrows to work with. Unbearable torture I tell ya. I somehow managed to stick it out until the end x_x

And was that her first or second fight? I like both music, but the second fight's was better, and for that one you have the ability to visit Muramasa before fighting her from the checkpoint.
