Earthbound Battle Background Possible?

Particularly for bosses in a game I'm going to make (and finish, if I can get a team) I want a similar effect to reflect the fact that the bosses are stronger than the normal mooks.

Sure. There are various battle background manipulation plugins out there. Depending on your preference of trippyness there are also .Pixi filters. But my stupid computer can't do WebGL so I have no experience with those.

Any good recommendations? I'm looking explicitly for the 'wavy' effect, it's hard to really describe (it looks like water ripples) especially when it comes to how they did the distortion on the final boss of the game.

I only know of battleback plugins that allow for scrolling or frame animation I'm afraid. For Ace I'd reccomend Moghunters Battleback EX but they scaled back the MV version.
