I feel dumb for just realizing wayne is a waning crescent and gibby is a gibbous moon

[@Exarian]

it actually holds quite a lot of meaning in the lore. in the first game, the moon that Gibby ruled from was not a natural sattelite but something he had made to rule from. The sign of the Full Moon probably became a symbol of oppression in anyone who opposed Gibby. So then there's Wayne. The sign of the waning crescent, the image of that power on its way out so we can finally have the new moon of freedom.

One of my absolute favorite differences between Hylics 1 and 2 is how legitimately intimidating Gibby is in the 2nd game. Everything from his revamped design that better shows just how massive he really is, to the way his body parts individually gyrate and twist around each other, to the strange psychic influence he has on the inhabitants of the world, and definitely this music, the way it slowly comes in with that smooth bass, to how it suddenly explodes into this mess of musical euphoria that, along with "Look ma, I fly now!", sounds infinitely more intimidating than anything else in either of the games. Sorry for the long winded comment but i just cant get over my love for this games soundtrack. While i adore how strange and atmospheric the OST for the first game is, this one has music that I legitimately want to listen to outside of the game.

[@normanwhitetail8808]

Let me tell you how amazing this final battle is. Gibby returns, revitalizing himself into a supreme being. He resembles an amalgamation of meat and appendages but he is not hindered or ruined. No. He takes the new form well, taking a stride towards our heroes. Across the battle, he creates minions. The tyrant king, once sitting upon a throne before his first demise, now marches with his newly created army. Even worse, he is a colossus of incredible power, sacrificing his soldiers for his powers. A monstrous commander laying ruin to the battlefield. The party has to keep distance as he marches, throwing whatever they can to stop his rampage. You are fighting a supreme being and his army of meat beings. You are the last thing between him and world domination. You must win.

[@shroomkid133]

What I find really weird about Gibby is how drastically different he looks compared to how he looks in Hylics 1. Instead of being this armored guy with this big round head and a mohawk he's this giant made out of floating chunks of meat with a giant coin-like head and realistic hands and feet.

[@commanderargon3321]

Every song in the first game, even the final boss was pretty relaxed (from what I remember), and every other song is pretty relaxed too, but this is like "Dude, you really did it this time. Here he comes... But don't back away; you've done it before, you can do it again."

Oddly enough, years later i am reminded of this music by Splatoon 3's final boss of all things... Both music pieces demonstrate a audible battle between two sides, as it transitions gradually from the villain to the heroes. This music, being Gibby's theme, starts off entirely chaotic and ever-changing much like his body, and his desired vision of the world. But, as the battle continues, a certain new tune starts to cover up his desired chaos, with a new, more distinct and rhythmic beat of a guitar (and occasionally drums). In a way, this is like the musical embodiment of the desire for identity that Wayne, Snomsosa, Dedusmuln and Pongorma have. They temporarily overwrite most of Gibby's chaotic instruments, and change the music to give it a distinct identity, instead of letting it blend amongst the countless combinations of chaotic tracks that we certainly heard a lot of in Hylics 1. It's literally a battle, going on in both combat and music, fitting since the team also act as a coordinated musical band when together, and Gibby would rather melt it all into chaos. Chuck Salamone, you did a fantastic job of making this music have such a distinct difference to most if not all of the other Hylics 1 and 2 music. And, in a way, we also have the team to thank for it, and Mason Lindroth to thank for the world that this music has been shaped upon. Everything has come together in such a perfect combination, for such a good climax to a mystical and deep series.

I can't believe I only recently got around to playing this game, and the soundtrack completely blows me away in such a way I'm not sure any other video game soundtrack quite has.

There's never an urge to skip to the "best part" because the entire thing is the best part; each track from beginning to end is a journey that pulls you in and holds your attention, but not in an overwhelming way. I love the motif usage, and I'm just so floored by how fascinating it all sounds- the textures, the composition, the vibes. And this track is perfect for facing off against such a climactic and intimidating character. Definitely in my all-time favorite soundtracks for things.

[@mr.j3rs3y]

This is definitely one of those songs I find myself coming back to every now and then. It’s an incredibly unique final boss, for an incredibly unique game. The wobbly guitar sound gives it a goofy or almost playful feeling, while also keeping you on edge by not staying on a set note. 0:00 - 0:08 makes me feel like I’m submerged under water with the music just barely reaching me. 0:10 - 0:30 is an explosion of musical euphoria. You are no longer submerged under that water; you feel like you’re in the middle of a concert. 0:30 - 0:50 A minor melody starts to play that I would associate with Gibby. The drums become more prominent and their beat becomes menacing. 0:50 - 1:11 The bass line becomes more sinister while also having this “cool” or “confident” vibe, as Gibby feels his victory is assured with his newfound “omnipotence”. 1:11 - 1:15 A brief moment of respite where the pressure lets up a bit. The notes from the very beginning of the song repeat for one line, letting you know the music is about to get more intense, as well as the fight. 1:15 - 1:36 Sounds more confident and I believe it is in Major key, it gives me the vibe that Wayne’s party is getting the upper hand against Gibby. 1:36 - 1:56 Wayne and his friends’ strength is starting to become too much for Gibby to handle 1:56 Triumph

I appreciate you! I loved composing and performing/recording this piece! It’s very “Rob Zombie,” by design. Mason wanted a “slow goth punk anthem” for this final battle. It is evident that people really enjoy this one, which is so gratifying! Thanks for listening/supporting us.

[@rotomfan63]

I always thought Gibby's appearance in this fight was a pun on his name, which was originally picked as a pun on moon phase like Wayne, and making a different pun of giblets, a term in games for chunks of meat or robot parts or what have you that burst out of killed enemies. Something we see with each enemy we defeat in this game itself, Gibby included

In terms of voice headcannon, I imagine this resurrected version of Gibby would sound like Gaius van Baelsar from FFXIV. Like Gibby doing the "TELL ME, FOR WHOM DO YOU FIGHT?" quote sounds perfectly in character for him.

ah yes my favouritist final boss ost ever. feels like all the leitmotifs and instruments are coalescing and fusing together to create this nerve-racking, loud, and muscle pumping track. the drums definitely add to the energy. and then it just escalates and gets even MORE intense; i'm pretty sure this is the loudest song in the entire game. beatuifful, showsotpijg

Specifically a person's brain, as the other parts of a person's body would all fulfill the roles of different machines. It's interesting to note that the human brain, to this day, is still regarded as being possibly the most sophisticated computer there is. This is also illustrated in Gibby's move Teardown, where a computer is stripped of its shell to reveal a brain, which then forms a hand to attack you.

[@OtakuUnitedStudio]

Mason, I loved this game. It's the exact kind of bizarre and engaging that I enjoy. I'd love to see a third, if what Odozier said at the end is a hint of things to come.

This song alone has made Hylics 2's OST one of my favorite game soundtracks of all time. The other songs are great too, but nothing beats an amazing final boss theme.

[@egan452]

Accidentals aside, best I can tell the changes are: Eb phrygian dominant, C harmonic minor, C altered scale, and then back to Eb phrygian dominant (which transitions wonderfully because of the expectation set of those notes changing with accidentals throughout the piece, particularly the 3rd of the phrygian dominant)

[@egan452]

You could probably consider it to be just regular phrygian rather than phrygian dominant, I'm not experienced enough to really decide where to make the call on which is the accidental there

[@chuck_salamone]

@@egan452 The flat 2 is a dead giveaway, heh.

KZbin had that update that gets rid of comments on those album type videos so my comment was lost, so I'll repeat here. This song has the motif from them's fighting words and I'm losing it This motif is also in That's A Big Stick, Xeno Arcadia, and originally was in House in Hylics 1. I'll edit with more instances of the motif if I find/remember them
