I will always remember this tune playing as I selected my weapons for the next mission.
Perhaps this is stretching the definition of battle themes a bit, but oh well.

My favorite battle prep theme. Follow by a great Final Map Theme.
Sorry for the poor quality. All others have been taken down.

I don't know what it's called, but the music that plays on the loadout screen in MGS:V is straight out of a marine recruitment ad; it's great.
This is your chance to prepare for a battle after a quick visit from a visitor. After this, you get a battle scene (2nd video).
How could one not dislike violin solo and ensemble bossa nova?
Aww man I never knew I wanted to let people know I love some battle preparation themes. I got three.
Zone of the Enders 2 training
Advanced wars dual strike Co Select theme
Final fantasy Duodecim Reform

Knew this would be about As Swift as Wind. That song is so good. Shame it gets replaced after the timeskip for part 2 by an inferior song
Yesss it's so good
Three Houses one is solid but honestly think I prefer Alm's from Shadows of Valentia
And while not really a battle preparation theme, the jolly Wonderful 101 Mart theme had me bobbing left and right as I strategized my purchase before moving onto the next level

Perfect Dark's Main Menu:
And Combat Simulator Menu:
Spent a lot of time in both getting the perfect weapon / bot / team / map / gametype configuration or picking which level to run through.

The tension of being able to see her before you can fight, and this playing.
Also this one. It actually made the leadins to the battles intense.

My favorite Fire Emblem prep theme is Pray for Victory from Radiant Dawn:
It plays in the endgame maps of each part, which are always pretty dire situations for your characters, and this song captures that feeling of "we're fucked" really well. Plus the title of the song, "Pray for Victory", is perfect.
I think I spend longer than normal in preps in Conquest just cause I'm listening to the prep theme, it's great.

OP, I have you beat with a battle prep music that comes after yours in order of soundtrack release song number.
Yup. This transitioning into Id (Purpose) in the game gave me goosebumps. Great moment.
Yesssssss. If Nintendo does another Fire Emblem orchestra, they better have this track with a saxophone solo.
This one is so extremely good. One of the reasons Conquest was my favorite Fates game.
A thread about nothing, you said?
Anyway, I was always partial to the one from Shining Force II.

Am I doing this right?
So much better than "taste the blood" but used way fewer times during the game.

I could've gone for the easier example here with the official fighting game spinoffs but Touhou 9: Phantasmagoria of Flower View is one of the rare times the main shmup games of this series gets to have its own pre-battle themes, and I feel that because of that it takes a pretty interesting take on the kind of theme you'd expect.
The first pre-battle theme, is a rather pensive, calm yet tense piece, which permeates all pre-battle dialog sections before actual fights. While the game lets you skip these almost as fast as they appear, it would be a shame to because theme itself is rather beautiful. It takes the main theme of the series ("Theme of Eastern Story") and takes in a way that gives it some tension. Honestly, it is a really nice track personally, and that it is weird why such a long theme like this is relegated to just pre-battle.
The second theme, in stark contrast, has an incredibly short loop, and is used for the pre-battle dialog before the last boss of the game. This theme is really short, probably one of the shortest themes the series has ever had to this day. Despite this, it still manages to give off a sense of finality, that the final moments are about to begin, as if the theme itself is making you rush into action. It isnt as grandiose as a theme, but it has a pace to it that makes you want to go for it, even after all battles before it.
