meanwhile you might enjoy the FF8 battle theme which is in 10/8 (-__-__-_-_):

making the main battle song 10/8, for a big name videogame like final fantasy? That's wild
It looks like it might actually be a 5/4 clave rhythm, a term I only learnt just now googling about weird time signatures

i wonder if it's a reference to the mission impossible theme actually, which is in 5/4
10/8 is great, you're like expecting those two extra beats and you never get them, it makes the song feel fast and tense which works for a battle theme
