Final Fantasy XVI but with Metal Gear Rising music (Hot Wind Blowing / Rules of Nature)

[@fermyonds]

Initially I was going to upload a Metal Gear Rising video, however seen as so many people have been wanting Titan Lost, I felt like I'd be doing a disservice by not focusing on this instead. PS: Don't forget to drink some water & fix your postures

[@alabamasaxman]

Will you do the final boss?

[@fermyonds]

Yes! It's one of the three I still have plans with :)

[@alabamasaxman]

@@fermyonds ok cool I just finished the game a few days ago so I'm excited to see it

Awesome video bro mgr music is my favorite kind of music 😊

Ever thought about doing the Odin and Barnabas boss fight with the only thing I know for real music?

[@recruitlegionary5552]

Damn, Titan really decided Crystal Meth was the best path to take to beat his demons.

Clive: *cuts Titan lost in two* Gav: orosho! very gooood!

[@fermyonds]

I can hear Gav saying that in the distance

[@dragishawk9564]

You know that was a Rules of Nature moment. "Split it wide open" indeed.

[@Vee_Sheep]

the fucking sync with "Come to me, Ifrit!" and "Here I am, dirty and faceless, waiting to heed your instruction" you absolute madlad

[@fermyonds]

I'm glad you've liked it!

[@DistortedDevice]

I have -never- heard this version of Hot Wind Blowing. Holy SMOKES what a BUILD UP

[@Vipera217]

iirc there were always 2 versions of the fight themes in MGR, different lyrics

[@ashemabahumat4173]

That's because its Locked and Loaded, not actually Rules of Nature

[@gam3rtim352]

MGR is still has the perfect OST to fight the sun.

[@NoDefinitiveAnswers]

6:15 that was incredible timing

[@fermyonds]

Thank you! I tried to make the timing as good as possible for the more ''pivotal moments'' during the fight.

[@Neo232100]

NGL. While he's clearly doing his best to take advantage of his size...it _really_ feels like Titan Lost is more a danger to himself than Clive is. XD

[@andrewowens4421]

You could argue that his addiction to power is slowly destroying him, more so than Clive could ever accomplish. Titan battle or not.

[@gackybass]

Very nice. Loved the use of both versions of rules of nature, the beta versions of some of the tracks are really underrated.

[@rancorious7785]

Sly Shinobi mixed both versions of A Stranger I Remain and gave us the only boss theme with two verses. It's awesome.

[@DJKixxOfficial]

Everybody got Devil Triggers now? 😭

[@fermyonds]

It's actually pretty cool isn't it

[@DJRainbowToxic]

Dante lol.

[@PiethagorasTearem]

Imagine if the end of the fight was like mgr where time slows down but instead of cutting them up you melt them into liquid. That wouldve been epic.

[@fermyonds]

That kind of happened with Garuda, didn't it?

[@incap6038]

Clive is probably the most badass protagonist to come out off Japan recently

[@fermyonds]

I feel like I say that every year tbh -- they just always make some amazing characters

[@optimaltt6070]

and one of the more, if not THE most, badass FF protags in general. I'm just saying, you don't see Cloud splitting a mountain-sized enemy in two with their own tentacle thing.

[@mapleflag6518]

I’m fully convinced that Clive would hand Sepheroth’s ass to him on a silver platter.

[@TotalZen-oe6xe]

An ifrit vs a titan. Sounds like something straight out of a mythology

[@kareninabestgirl]

wow this was great, the timing for the best parts of the song was also very good, great job

[@fermyonds]

Thank you so much!

[@deceptiwave2936]

Probably putting my tin foil hat on a bit too much here, but these song choices are particularly good just for the meaning behind them. Hot Wind Blowing is really poignant with Kupka's past as a common soldier, almost a reflection of the man he was before his life was upended by Titan and then Clive. Whereas Rules of Nature highlights what they are now, two men becoming beasts to take revenge upon each other. I dunno, coming up with shit like this is how you get good literature grades, what can I say? lol.

[@venomark7883]

Bro throughout the video, i was feeling goosebumps all over from how EPICLY HIGH ENERGY SHOWDOWN this is💀🔥🔥🔥

[@fermyonds]

Glad you enjoyed it man! If I could go back I'd remake some scenes / I'd make it higher quality since I know how to do it now

[@catkaboodle]

I feel like humanity as a species crossed some sort of silliness event horizon at 20:09

[@Corzoko]

[@fermyonds]

You're far too kind! Thank you very much

[@Amayawolf_01]

It absolutely kills me how Clive is like "If you can do it so can I" and it just works out for him every time. Like dude I don't think a fire eikon should be getting stone arms after absorbing aether just cause _the literal earth eikon can_ but go ahead and try I guess?? It's cool but it doesnt make sense lol. Imagine if Ifrit started spitting ice just because he watched Jill throwing ice spears

[@jumpingspider989]

Well, when you really think about it, it makes perfect sense since Clive can absorb the power of the other eikons. He is literally called Ultima Mythos at one point or another, iirc (please correct me, I haven't played in quite a bit), and it wouldn't be too farfetched of an idea that with a strong enough/plentiful source of power connected to a certain element that he could use more abilities connected to the appropriate eikon as Ifrit.

[@R15-99]

⁠@@jumpingspider989both Barnabas and Ultima state that he is Mythos. Barnabas talks about Clive’s potential and power a lot when you meet him in Kanver and after the battle at the bottom of the ocean. Ultima talks about Mythos in Stonhyrr and at origin (mostly at Stonhyrr).

Did you notice that titan losts head is the exact same as ultimas final boss fight with his golden armour

[@fermyonds]

Is it?

[@dylanbroome7915]

@fermyon yep it's the exact same design meaning when titan consumed the Crystal ultima inhabited his body and possessed him

[@dylanbroome7915]

As the crystals and eikons are all extensions of him so he can control all of them like garuda titan and ifrit in that one scene were he attacked Joshua in clives early life the only reason he can do this is that the other dominants have weak consciousness or weak minds meaning he can inhabit them easily the only reason clive was mind controlled that one time was because of his distress of Joshua becoming rhe phoenix and he can't do it now because of his strong will or consciousness which he tries to break the entire rest of the game

He is basically absorbing their powers. Not necessarily in this video tho. The Titan guy's an asshole and he (Ifrit) wanted revenge

[@A-literal-insect]

@@fermyonds so he isn't killing them but just absorbing their powers?

[@fermyonds]

A bit of both. Absorbs the power from the dominants (the guys who actually transform into the summons) and then also kills a couple of them. I believe he only killed two though (Garuda and Titan) not gonna go into more details since I don't want to spoil too much x)

Which one specifically? Allowing Ifrit to climb through and getting closer or breaking his limbs? Yeah it's true if he wants to maintain further distance, he can easily extend those arms far away.
