I can understand how people don't like the way vision interrupts the music of the game, but can we talk about how awesome and original vision is as a video game mechanic for a seond?

[@azuredragon8388]

I honestly wasn't expecting a practical and fitting use of Shulk's Vision but it was a pleasant surprise. Its simple but really useful

[@Dave-bf6bs]

I don't hate shulk's vision but it's awful that it interrupts de boss theme and when the vision is finish it keeps going

[@andremrh7690]

The system is fascinating, to say the least. The AI picks an action at random, maybe a Talent, Physical, or Ether art. It calculates how much damage it deals. If it crosses a certain threshold, there's a chance for a vision to occur. If the chance fails, the attack comes out automatically. If it succeeds, it extends the time it takes for the monster to execute the attack. Now, the vision can play out, be averted, be extended, be changed or be destroyed. First one is easy, don't do anything. Second, take a defensive action to reduce damage or change the attack's target. Third, topple the monster. Fourth, daze the monster. Fifth, kill the monster. If I were to take this mechanic and improve upon it, I'd add the ability for higher leveled monsters to respond to your attempt to change the future. Used Monado Shield? Alright, the monster will just change its attack to a regular Physical or Ether art. Gave Monado Speed to someone? Have the monster target someone else instead, regardless of aggro. This would make Superbosses a pain in the ass...exactly what they should be.

[@lukey3474]

@@andremrh7690 this idea fits perfectly with at least 1 of the superbosses (yes *that one*) honestly would be annoying but fair and would make the combat deeper (also imagine if the boss could have visions)

[@legoferrari14]

I am absolutely *shocked* that none of Nintendo Europe's marketing tweets for this game focused on this song, since IMO it's one of the best glow-ups given to any song in the soundtrack. I get it; it's the main boss theme throughout the game so major spoilers for several plot beats but they showcased *Mechanical Rhythm* - a song not accessible until the mid-game; way later than the first instance of this song.

[@Navi1Lo]

I do recall it being used in this trailer kzbin.info/www/bejne/jIealoesnq6lq6s

[@plompedu]

It literally also plays in the beginning of the game in Sword Valley so I dunno

[@AceConch]

This version instantly became my favorite. While I love the original too, I think this song benefits from the higher pitch. It gives off a more urgent and bombastic feel which makes boss fights with the faced mechon more grandiose to me. To each their own at the end of day, liking the original is just as valid.

[@supershadow125]

Yeah no this is so damn good. The thing is with this version works better in game. Hearing this during the mechon attack in colony 9 was insane. The latter half of this tune beats the original but I get what people are saying, it lacks the punch but replaces it with a chorus and a delicious af bass

[@Pokejon2000]

yeah it different than the og but i feel it works surprisingly well. and after listening a few times i actually find i enjoy this more. i think the best part of de is they added the setting for the original songs for people who prefer them instead so everyone is happy am i right

[@themaniniboy]

Totally agree here

[@Gure_Shimo]

The original feels more complete, since there are more instruments working together for the melody, a group of strings plus some guitar accents the guitar. This version melody is lead mainly by a guitar, making it sound lacking or empty for people who know the original. But they kinda make up for it, in some sections. PersonaIly I like the original better, but I agree on this version is good too, tho.

[@Argidisparken]

@@Gure_Shimo i feel like more instruments = more messy. Harmony is excellent, but I find more beauty in simplicity, and i'm pleased to see more composers catching on to that idea.

[@cameroncooper5941]

This version has an intensity that the original lacked. I never really thought the original was anything special, but hearing this for the first time in Colony 9 it became an instant favorite.

[@Noper12KSKx]

in my opinion, this was the winner of the remastered soundtracks. Not to say this is the best song, or that the old one was bad, but this song was the most improved one when compared to its respective original version.

[@Spamus]

I personally disagree. I don't like the over-emphasis on electric guitar in this version, and (this might just be me) I really don't like that it's in the wrong key

[@Noper12KSKx]

@@Spamus I never cared much about the key in the song, I'm not too much into music theory, so the change didn't end up standing out to me, but I can totally see how such a change can make a song better or worse. But if you disagree, then who won the remastered ost on your opinion? :)

[@Spamus]

@@Noper12KSKx if you mean which remastered song I liked best, right now I'd probably say Engage the Enemy or Eryth Sea Day, but I'd need to think on it

[@Noper12KSKx]

@@Spamus Ah yea we hard disagree then lmao. I hate how engage the enemy is on the remastered ost, with the overly aggressive voice and all. No strong feelings towards eryth sea tho.

[@Spamus]

@@Noper12KSKx well, Eryth Sea is one of my absolute favorite tracks in the whole game, and I think the remaster did it perfectly. As for Engage the Enemy, idk I just like it more in the remaster. It might just be the use of real instruments. I think the reason I'm so salty on An Obstacle in Our Path is because it's another one of my favorite tracks from the original game, so hearing it sound different felt kinda wrong
