Honestly this is probably the best boss fight so far in HSR.

Not to mention using the Express itself as a weapon. It all comes together in one perfect package. I was grinning the whole time I fought them

[@migueliyouwu8853]

Honestly, this is the best battle and I'm really relieved that I went with Aventurino and Acheron (F2P with a lot of luck) I really enjoyed the whole battle and even when Robin started to sing I couldn't help but cry, the fear I felt for the boss immediately turned into courage and I left the defensive to go on the offensive, Honestly no epic rock or electro music can easily top this one. ❤❤❤

I really like the twist that the Harmony is actually NOT the force behind the slow deterioration of Penacony. I was expecting Penacony to reveal that the Harmony only brought another form of "Prison" to Asdana, but THEY really did gaze upon the Frontier Prison for the sheer unity and togetherness the natives and the trailblazers had when fighting for independence. Only to gaze upon it once again when the second fight for freedom happens. Order can only be good when it is with Harmony, while Harmony does not need Order. That is why Ena was absorbed by Xipe. Robin singing in the 3rd phase is the fight between the Voice kissed by The Harmony and of an Emanator of -Harmony- Order. The fight between a brother and a sister, and that is why it is so beautiful.

[@nnl8841]

Ena was absorbed not bc order can't exist without harmony(which isnt right, order cant exist without discipline), it was Aha and Xipe conspiracy against Ena during propagation events

[@LudicolloEnjoyer]

People complaining about Phase 3 OST has to be illiterate to not understand the point of the entire trailblazing journey in Penacony so far. The entire 2.0 - > 2.2 has all been about imprisonment and breaking those shackles. Whether physical, metaphorical, or emotional; everyone in Penacony is _chained down and locked in their own cages, either made by themselves, or by others._ The power struggle between Order/Harmony is quite literally shown in a black/white fashion between Robin and Sunday, and it's even represented in the boss fight. The Orchestra representing the Order's strangle hold onto people's hopes and future, and it _is indefinitely silenced out_ on Phase 3 under the Harmony of everyone striving for a better future for themselves, and passing on the torch of hope to others into the future. This entire journey, even before _the current Astral Express_ arrives at Penacony has always been passing that torch of hope/freedom/dreams to the future generations, and all of their efforts/suffering have finally come to fruition at the end of 2.2, beautifully represented with Robin singing a song about striding forward, and holding onto hope _with everyone coming into harmony with one another_ To play another Orchestral piece at Phase 3, and us beating it doesn't hold any narrative weight outside of "We beat the bad guy with force". The complete song change shows that we didn't just win the battle, but we were also able to show why the path of "Order" that the Family/Sunday is taking is wrong, and in the end we were able to change/free Sunday's perspective about how he approaches his life.

You can totally understand why he reached that conclusion and I can accept the team still being in good terms with him afterwards because even as an enemy he never played dirty or was unreasonable.

[@evanex3972]

[@nitromiyazaki]

Phase 3 on its own is a typical pop song. But when you actually play the game, listen to the stories, immerse yourself in the power struggle and learn both sides, the lyrics of the song hit so much harder and the fight shines that much greater than any “badass” song could accomplish in that moment. A cool, badass song would NOT be able to do what the phase 3 song did at that climax of the story. This boss fight is far more memorable than the cool, badass fight against Phantylia, and even if you hate this song, I guarantee this fight is STILL taking a greater precedence in your mind than the Phantylia boss fight. There is far more at stake, the stories are told far better, and the resolution is just plain satisfying. Is it a song you’d listen to all the time? No. Not for everyone. But it’s a song that needed to be heard as an ode of hope when the entire story prior was bleak.

[@vendedordepicole5924]

Luofu storyline is so weird, they throw an bunch of words that I honestly never understood and never cared to learn the meaning, an boss fight and an plot twist that was never hinted, TB being almost irrelevant to the story even tho it appeared that they was going to be important and so on.

Ngl the whiplash between phase 1/2 and phase 3 got me heh at first BUT after going back on it, it's absolute genius. The way it embodies the difference between the power of Odrer and the power of Harmony ?? Order has that deep, eery orchestral with the organ and that almost "panicky" guitar leading the ost, its controlled, its linear, for me it gave me the feeling of being very small compared to the will of Sunday. Meanwhile phase 3 arrived and just gave hope back, with Harmony being represented by Robin's voice and the instrumental maybe representing the Trailblaze ? It's upbeat, unifying, gives a strong "power of friendship" vibe but in the end wasn't what the whole penacony arc was about ? I'm no musical genius, but the combination of the two styles was the best thing they could've done to show the difference between Order and Harmony/Trailblaze.

I've been waiting for a soundtrack that would finally dethrone Wildfire, and it's such a banger!

[@lupapapalupapa5307]

I this this music more uplifting motivation than a banger , wildfire is banger ,

[@Kagetora-]

Yeah, Wildfire was good but I much prefer this song

[@Zeihara]

Everyone's talking about Part 3 but honestly Part 1 is also a banger of it's own especially the lead up starting at 0:30 if anyone played Monster Hunter Sunbreak, it somehow reminds me of fighting that vampiric Elder Dragon Malzeno with that regal orchestra

[@Jodariel.]

Honestly i like only pt1 and 2. Lmao

[@Infelious]

@@Jodariel. same lol. Though during the actual fight Robin's song is cool as Sunday gets hit by the train less cool just hearing it though.

that phase 2 part with the guitar was so eargasm bro

[@KIRITO_that_guy_with_2_swords]

I love how Robin's song is there, its like power change, that in the first phases its like Sunday's overwhelming power giving the feeling of there is no chance for victory, the music kind of shows our desperate struggle against such power, and then Robin appears, and the table turns, now the overwhelming atmosphere is gone, and instead we have something with hope, and power, now we are the stronger, and with the Horizon's echo from afar ultimate voice lines, it really gives this dramatic final boss vibe... HOYO GOATED IT AGAIN!!!

[@lilypads3033]

Phase 3 was absolute hype, definitely best boss phase ever yet in the game 😭

See the comments hating on robin singing for phase 3 On the contary phase 3 is straight fire it made robin more appealing

[@crobdog]

And that's why people dislike it. It was forced in TO make robin more appealing.

[@GuyNumbers]

@@crobdog Are we really complaining about Robin relevancy for the Sunday boss fight? That’s as straightforward of a writing choice as possible.

[@mattgourgoville8088]

​@@crobdog grrrr, how dare the writers make the phase 3 of a boss fight plot relevant!!!!!!!!!!!

[@LudicolloEnjoyer]

@@crobdog I don't get that LMAO. Narrative wise, this was as clear cut as it could be. Twins, Striding different paths, with a different perspective of their _shared promise_ ; both pathstriders are fighting over what rules over the dream they once shared, and it's represented by _music_ ; in which Robin's takes over and gives everyone a glimpse of hope at the end. This entire time, Penacony has been enslaved/trampled on by _The Order_ represented by the orchestra that Sunday plays, and with through everyone's sheer efforts and the future hopes of the ones that came before them; _The Harmony_ within people takes over and wins out at the end. It is absolutely fitting.

Wildfire was a bossfight as a bossfight, Phase 3 honestly feels like weve won already, its just a formality that were gonna kick the Otto 2.0 ass
