OFF OST: Minuit À Fond La Caisse (Extended)

[@lizmarypabon-lopez6262]

Japhet wanted to be struck down, it's the only way his pain and guilt will end. There's something that resembles happiness in knowing The Batter will undoubtedly carry this out. That's what this song says to me.

[@Menfiz]

That's why he is my favourite character of the game. He was good but then turned evil because people didn't apreciate him. Then he knew that the batter was after him and didn't run, he accepted his fate.

[@YuuyaKZMI]

Japhet essentially became a well-intentioned extremist.

[@moronribbons5774]

I especially feel that in the more desolate sounding part at 0:54, it's almost like you can feel Japhets pain, knowing he's failed at his position taking care of people despite how hard he tried to uphold such a safe and secure livelihood for them before. I think he truly means to atone for what he's done by dying in honorable combat at the hands of the Batter in the story, even if it doesn't really fix anything, I think he feels he truly deserves that fate. Most of all I think this is portrayed in the outro to Japhet's theme, not found in this loop. The ambient chirping returns as the main track is replaced by a gentle, calm piano melody, almost as if Japhet does find peace in his own death.

Et, puisant dans ses dernières forces, il créa la bibliothèque, plus belle encore qu'elle ne l'était auparavent. Sa hauteur perçait les nuages de fumée. Alors, il prit place. Il avait tout fait pour eux, tel un protecteur bienveillant. Il leur avait offert la tranquillité, la sécurité, et diverses façons de se divertir. Tout cela dans un unique élan de générosité. Un temps cela fut bon pour tous, et il profitèrent avec joie de ce lieu créé pour eux, dans l'insouciance la plus enfantine. Ils couraient dans les rues, enchantés par tant de Mais la mécanique du monde eut tôt fait de devenir folle. Ils oublièrent leur joie pour sombrer dans une spirale de peur et de stupide inquiètudes. Ils n'étaient désormais Quand à l'oiseau de feu, il pleurait seul sur son trone, triste de l'oubli dans lequel les hommes l'avaient plongé. Ils n'avaient temps désormais que pour leur soucis. Alors l'oiseau de feu devint chat, et le chat devint le maitre. Et, emporté par sa colère et sa tristesse, il fit pleuvoir sur ses sujets une tempête d'esprit néfastes. Sa folie l'aveuglait. Et, pendant que les spectres détruisaient pour lui le monde qu'il avait lui-même créé, il se réfugia au sommet de sa plus magnifique création, la grande bibliothèque. Il ne lui restait plus qu'à attendre le purificateur, l'homme qui allait se lever pour le détruire. Car au fond de lui, il le savait. Ce qu'il faisait était mal. Fin.

[@RMBOOF]

Je t’attendais, Batteur. Je ne me rendrai pas sans me battre. Il faut me comprendre, ces imbéciles, ils ne se préoccupent que de leurs minables tracas! J’ai tout fait pour eux, ils sont tels mes indénombrables fils… Parfois il est nécessaire de punir les enfants irrespectueux… Je ne suis pas un Dieu, je ne peux pas être parfait… Oui, j’ai pêché, je le reconnais, mais cette tâche n’est pas celle d’un mortel. Très bien, Purificateur, si tel est mon destin, je suis prêt à mourir. Mais avant cela, prépare-toi à me voir sous ma véritable forme… Je suis Japhet, seigneur de la Zone 2. Je suis l’oiseau de feu millénaire. Battons-nous, maintenant.

[@SnowyFoxlinn]

This battle really felt disturbing in the Judge's eyes. Just seeing this bird slowly grow out of his brother's mouth and tearing him apart as it has now become the phoenix guardian...

[@KlimningPB2]

Strange thought that the common spectres are only seen once in the game.

This song sounds and feels really majestic.

[@seabirdflutter]

[@henricktanner8147]

I find myself crying whenever I fight this boss considering that the Judge is there watching it all

[@asperRader]

+marcus petersheim You sure? When you go back to the Zone after purification, the Judge seems completely clueless to the fate of Valerie, asking "Have you seen my dear brother?" and envisioning his own echoes being meows of him. *He doesn't seem to have any idea that his brother died, and is still calling for him.*

[@IblisFire666]

I was under the impression that the Judge was just in incredible denial after the event, determined that his brother is still alive.

[@animeprofilepicture2642]

+IblisFire666 You can find him on the rooftop on purified zone 2

[@TebbIndeed]

I believe Japhet's story is also an unfortunate one. He gave his people all they could ever want, and they basically turned on him. They became so careless, that they forgot everything about Japhet in their own self-induced fears. Even if his reaction to this was cruel, I believe his feelings were quite justified. On top of that, Japhet had known the whole time that someone would come to kill him even before any of this transpired, which contributes to his misfortune.

[@MysticIceFire]

Yeah.. pretty sure he is denial.. and that.. just makes it... worse... poor thing... ;-;

[@saket9083]

This gives me such a childish and innocent feel, I love it.

[@vidyabatter]

As much as I hate what he did to Valerie, I cannot help but feel bad for Japhet. He had done so much for Zone 2. And eventually the residents of the zone stopped caring about him. Even after all he did. Japhet wants The Batter to kill him, it makes sense how he took over Valerie's body and killed him, so that the player would hate him and kill him aswell. And the way he dies in NEW, it's just... Awful...

fun fact: all of japhet's attacks are named after different music terms. I dont remember what they were exactly however

[@APieceOfPebble]

They are named after the pitches of ones singing voice. Soprano being the highest pitch for a female, tenor being the slightly higher than normal pitch of a male.

[@MysticIceFire]

Japhet is a song bird, I think

[@froganesce]

Mystic Ice fire no he says he is "the millennial fire bird" so he's basically a Phoenix

[@MysticIceFire]

froggy frog yea, I know, I was talking about him when he was in the room.. although, my memory is a bit foggy.. so..

[@froganesce]

ohhh you mean like the small version in the room...well he does make little bird noises but I'm pretty sure he's like a phoenix or whatever .

[@TomasioTV]

I wager the drums are actually instruments known as darbukas, mostly known in North Africa, if not mistaken, which makes sense, given the French orientation of this game.

The reason the bells so odd and "off-pitch" while the strings and a few other instruments sound "tragic" at certain parts, while Japhet had good intentions in mind (which is the tragic part), he did a ton of shit wrong. (which is the off-pitch part)
