{{quote|''This is my cheesy song for an RPG
''Artistically invalid, but it rhymes sufficiently
''And now it modulates to D
''because it is the saddest of keys
''To denote the tragic romance
''That ended so predictably''
|'''"Cheesy RPG Song"''', ending theme of ''[[Turn Based Battle]]'' }}
 
An emotional, solemn, usually slow-paced [[Ending Theme|song played during the credits]]. Common especially in anime and video games.
Line 23:
 
Preferably provide links to the song (Youtube or otherwise) when adding examples. Take care, linked credits videos might obviously contain ending spoilers; to prevent this, it would be optimal to link the song without the credits video or mark credits videos as such. <!-- This has to be done yet for the already listed examples.%% -->

* ''[[Wild ArmsARMs]]'' series:
** ''[[Wild ArmsARMs 2]]'' has "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xr08LGkX4gM Atomic Arms]" and "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x1d4y9Qge3E Zephyr's]", the ending themes of Disc 1 and 2 respectively.
** A partial example: ''[[Wild ArmsARMs 3]]'' has a [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hiHk0e0pQjQ&feature=related: fairly sad theme] that plays whenever you quit the game. The [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6gMrdluPlms&feature=related: credit theme] is a softer, more solemn theme of the opening theme, though possibly not solemn enough to qualify for this trope.
* ''[[Legend of Legaia]]'' uses this trope. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZDxsTK-EGbk&feature=related: See for yourself.].
