The entire game is one big videogame industry parody. Rekka: Mistreating employees, harsh working environment and copyright strikes Zanzo: Creative leads with childlike vision and no ground of realistic goals or budget management that overwork their employees while most of the ideas are never finished. Korsica: employees and leads that came to the company that take pride in their work and want to produce a great result, inspired by masterpieces games only to be met with the reality of the crappy videogame industry that all the other bosses represent. Some of them resort to leaving big companies and collaborating on indie titles against big companies. Mimosa: Over glamorous advertising with no substance, just like triple A companies make false promises and always end up under delivering to the consumers. Roquefort: Stingy game companies that underpay their employees or don't give enough budget for features like proper servers making their online games borderline unplayable. Thinking only how to bring the most profit on the table no matter the cost like aggressive monetizations. Kale: Companies that find every aspect of the game too much work and would rather get free money for barely doing anything, releasing half finished videogames for quick profit.

My favorite part was how he took off his jacket for another jacket... Thrice, though cant say i totally liked this boss it got real annoying sitting there for a minute not being able to do anything against the z-shields until he attacked and i got to use macaron once before repeating the cycle, and sometimes he didn't even go for the arms

[@MetalVannan]

You can attack him until he counters, parry him, and that speeds up his arm attacks.

[@Brian-tn4cd]

@@MetalVannan i did that, doesn't work

[@Sanguis3k]

some of your special attacks can break through it actually, high pitch punch iirc was the one I used that will open him up in that phase and he often tried to counter attack me after using it which let me double punish with the Macron call in

[@GigaLigma]

Yeah I think the middle section of the fight where you have to target all his gear with the appropriate allies is REALLY annoying, and not because of the concept. It's just in execution he sometimes spams all his other attacks for minutes on end and, if you're unlucky, it can take FOREVER for him to finally use the attacks you need to counter in order to beat that stage. There's just no way to progress other than waiting for him to use specific attacks that let you hit him back, which is REALLY frustrating sometimes when you're playing on rhythm master and watching your fucking rhythm bar tick down while rng decides Kale is not going to use his key attacks for over a minute straight. You have to perfectly parry everything and smack him constantly just to keep yourself from dying due to rhythm drop until you get an attack you're allowed to interact with, it's a really stressful stall-fest. Feels like he should be programmed to use those attacks on a set timer to ensure that can't happen. But overall I'd call it a minor flaw in a very fun fight. Great character to hate, pretty exciting fight outside of that middle part, and a genuinely fun challenge on high difficulties.

The best I can gather for lyrics. (With help and collaborative effort) Steep pitched roof on a cold gray night, A shadow 'cross the moon under my flight Somehow I felt the pain of your hunger My will to resist was pulled out from under It stood tall and I began to shake my blood coursed strong as you readied your take I nodded once and that was all it took in a blink you were over me and my world shook And when I said it was understood You had control once you lowered your hood My pulse quickened to impossible speed Your fangs sunk deep and you began to feed And now I just can't hide Spellbound and mesmerized You got me hypnotized Spellbound and mesmerized So I'll give you what you want (What I need is now what I want) In a blink I am yours (Give it to me and I'll give it to you) With a flash and a squeeze it's my turn to feed Unspoken promises with mutual need She whispered to me as our blood mixed: "You're the seventh son of the seventh son, your fate is fixed" Now I'm a phantom; a ghost unabsolved I'm bound to move shadows when the day dissolves Surely no bullet; no wooden stake could never end this fog that refuses to break And now I just can't hide still bound and mesmerized you got me hypnotized still bound and mesmerized I'll give you what you want (what I need is now what I want) In a blink I am yours (give it to me and I'll give it to you) Whispered: [So I'll give you what you want And what I need is now what I want In a blink I am yours Give it to me and I'll give it to you (So I'll give you what you want, And what I need is now what I want) x2 In a blink I am yours Give it to me and I'll give it to you So I'll give you what you want And what I need is now what I want In a blink I am yours give it to me and I'll give it to you] Repeated hardly audible gasping* I'll give you what you want (what I need is now what I want) In a blink I am yours (give it to me and I'll give it to you) Repeated and hardly whispered into fadeout: (Time, dissolves, without, the truth) Repeated 2 lines in: Hypnotized I really love the vampiric text here and the one-on-one uhh 'action' subtext, a really cool song altogether.

its the seventh son* the seventh son of the seventh son is a being of great mythical power according to multiple religions and idelogies, since it's highly unlikely that your family has 14 male sons in a row

[@Tetragramix]

This might help. I'm certain this song is about vampirism. Most likely lyrics from what I can tell: (unsure) (unsure) Somehow I felt the pain of your hunger My will to resist was pulled out from under Hair stood tall and I began to shake My blood coursed strong as you readied your take I nodded once and that was all it took In a blink you were over me and my world shook And when I said it was understood You had control once you lowered your hood My pulse quickened to impossible speeds Your fangs sunk deep and you began to feed And now I just can't hide Spellbound and mesmerized You got me hypnotized Spellbound and mesmerized I'll give you what you want (What I need is not what I want) In a blink I am yours (Give it to me and i'll give it to you) With a flash and a scream it's my turn to feed (honestly kind of hard to make out these lines) Your fate is fixed Now i'm a phantom- (unsure) Unbound to move shadows when the day dissolves (Hard to make out clearly) If I had to guess what the song is about, it seems likely to be Chai referring to Vandelay injecting robotics into him, similar to vampires spreading vampirism. "Nodded once and that was all it took" referring to Chai consenting without really reading the consent form for the surgery. Perhaps "spellbound and mesmerized" refers to Chai being mind controlled by Kale. "I'll give you what you want" likely referring to Chai proving his Vandely robot arm kicks ass (Kale should be proud his product is this successful), or that Kale wants a fight and Chai is willing to oblige. "What I need is not what I want" is likely Chai needing his arm fixed, but he doesn't want the baggage of being a Vandelay lackey or experiment. "Give it to me and i'll give it to you" could mean Chai getting revenge against Vandelay (Kale) for giving him something he did not want in the form of Spectra mind control and being hunted down as a defect. Give me suffering and I give you suffering. These are just what I think the lyrics are, and what they might mean. I stand by my statement that the song is about vampirism. It is too obvious. I posted this same comment on the other lyrics comment as well. Hope it helps you out too.

[@albhis]

@@dedosdeceniza That makes tons more sense than a whole bunch of stars orbiting eachother

[@albhis]

​@@Tetragramix Oh duh, that IS the word Spellbound XD Absolutely vampiric, though I was thinking more on a general scale, where capitalism drains enough of its host (the people) to maintain itself as it is. Kale is looking to upset the whole individual consumerism thing in favor of absolute control, from what I understand of his plot. Under that, "What I need is now what I want" could refer to agreement of what someone else believes is what they need, like saying 'you need a band-aid' to someone with hiccups and them agreeing. Regardless of any message, I've had the song stuck in my head for too long, it just goes so hard. xd

[@Tetragramix]

​​​​​@@albhis I'm pretty sure this song is about Kale, like the other boss's songs fit them, but I tried to interpret it for Chai. In the case of "Capitalism", I think it makes more sense that it would mean technological society as a whole, not Capitalism specifically.

The copyrighted licensed song, Perfect Drug doesn't feel as good in the game's story. This song is much better at expressing Kale's personality and his evil plan. The lyrics tell much more about the fight and the song as a whole also feels more intense for a final boss battle. (Edit rearrange of sentences and more elaboration on how I feel about the song.

kzbin.info/www/bejne/ppKYin2ImMt2nK8 The licensed version on the playlist is no longer working, so here's a link to another version of that song.

[@Neoネオ]

For some reason when I got to this boss the difficulty spiked dramatically (yes I know how final bosses work)

[@flyyf1]

is it just me or does the begining song sound a lot like the Cerberus theme from dmc?

[@infinitywolf1122]

Amazing

[@nicolasmcossioify]

Me vs my worst enemy

[@corenasue]

Is it or me but does this song sound like the Gorillaz would make?

[@LittleKoneko]

sounds like queens of the stone age

[@jojogacha974]

I swear streamer mode songs are better than the original songs.

[@speeddemon7678]

Don't call it a comeback.

[@guijprml]

This feels like off-brand Devils Never Cry with Never Surrender splashed in

[@1finallygotunleashed]

It's absolutely off-brand Devils Never Cry which is PERFECT, since that boss is a big DMC homage

[@Karoku2100]

I was looking for this comment. The whole song and fight feel very Devil May Cry 3 esque, which is a real treat

[@DudeinRed]

I dont get it... Why this is kales theme? Cus i dont get the lyrics at all...

[@mythriljojo]

The song is about control and hypnotism since Kale wants to control the consumers with Spectra.

[@JakobHunterek]

You forgot to add Kale's licenced boss music to your playlist: The Perfect Drug - Nine Inch Nails

[@casetech279]

No I didn’t.

[@JakobHunterek]

​@@casetech279 yes you did I just checked

[@JakobHunterek]

Nevermind. It shows me that "Unavailable videos are hidden"

[@gearhead2519]

@@JakobHunterek Freaking obviously. The *Licensed Soundtrack* was gonna get cut out, but not the Unlicensed one.

[@JakobHunterek]

@@casetech279 if that's the case then give me a link to this music video that you "supposedly added" to your playlist.

[@haval7867]

What's the name and is it available on Spotify?

[@maxouking1999]

I checked today and it is on spotify. just look for hi-fi rush official soundtrack

[@JohnSmith-es2fh]

it's just funny to realise that DIO himself was beaten by 808

[@Ndobss]

Can you use HIFI Rush music in yt and twitch?

[@Colecionador7162]

It was made specifically so that content creators wouldn't get DMCA accusations, so if you exclude the licensed music, and put credits on the screen or in the description, you probably should be good

[@matiasgomez8651]

discount capitalistic VERGIL

[@SonnyFRST]

This sounds a bit too much like NIN, is it secretly them helping Tango bypass licensing BS?

[@punketsu6222]

Reverse that. They have Perfect Drug licensed for this game, they just made this so streamers don’t have to worry about DMCA.

[@SonnyFRST]

@@punketsu6222 Sorry, that's what I meant to say.

[@ShikiKairagi]

Ok

[@ShikiKairagi]

Weed.

[@kiranearitachi]

The other kale song is better for this fight
