[@12Tedder]

For the first half she has a fixed rotation so it wouldn't surprise me if they made an effort to have it sync, after the adds phase it's all random though. The bells are triggered by certain attacks and not actually a part of the song which helps it sync too.

[@klausoshaunacey8429]

[@MonsteRNieR]

This isn’t the only boss.. check popola and devola fight in replicant.

[@Darth1Marik]

Yoko Taro for some reason likes that kinda stuff. Drakengard 1 and 3 had secret final bosses that were rhythm fights rather than action fights and if you didn't get the rhythm correct you died. Shit was some of the hardest boss fights I ever experienced and Yoko Taro is a damn sadist for making those bosses.

[@trevorveillette8415]

@@blueknight7100 yeah you're really underselling and under estimating the NieR games. Replicant is outdated compared to automata in terms of game structure for quests. But if both games have the capacity to make you cry despairingly, then just calling it a running around and killing stuff and finding loot with a nice ost is really doing it a disservice. You're making the games sound so basic, when anyone who's played the games will tell you that they are some of the most complex games out there.

[@lucaskincanyon7393]

By the way, the HUD looks like this for a reason. On very hard mode, you die in one hit and no lock in, so your attacks may not always hit. People underestimate how hard this game is sometimes. Even on the normal difficulty, it’s still a hard game.

[@AlecLapierre108]

Yeah I definitely died enough times for it to be fun if that makes any sense lol

[@germanpalomaresdelpalomar5883]

Fact: this boss (whose real name is Simone) is inspired in Simone Beauvoir, not only the design, but also its ideology.

[@CNWhatImSaiyan]

She’s even called Beauvoir in Japan

[@Rascreia]

ohmygod, does anyone realize that everytime the circle laser or the bouncing bullet launched there is a bell ringing EXACTLY as when it's fired! and it is making the song and the battle more epic! so the game developer also synchronize the attacks sound effect with the music!! actually i found many version of this song including with the bell. but still, oh my god i really appreciate towards this game and whoever behind it. just from a man who really loves bells ringing sound.

[@12Tedder]

The bells are all tied directly to her attacks, not the music. So past the first phase where she has a fixed rotation the bells will chime differently every time.

[@nathansstuff1547]

@@12Tedder Could say her attacks are timed with the music. The whole fight is kind of a dance after all.

At 4:39, after her dress has burned away and she falls over backwards, a hand on her chest, and the song comes over, Chaos language of course, but Alex mentions it sounds Italian for "It hurts here in my heart," and I just cannot. T.T Simone, I am so sorry you went through this.
