[@hiiro.wakaba]

I love the fact that Robin basically hijacked her brother's concert with a different tone of music

[@lindos602]

Robin : Get outta the stage, bro ! The light is mine !

[@LiliumBelmont]

Robin going like: let me show how to destroy good music with the power of love

[@DeNihility]

Literally the crow singing over the bird meme but reversed.

[@MrMiQT]

It makes sense. The choir singing as one shows the power of the Order. But then here comes Robin with actual Harmony, the power of flowing beautifully together will defeat the hardline constructed perfection

[@AceSama..]

"The first and last disharmony in Penacony" as said by Welt himself

[@BetaManicCommand]

My mind can't handle that we go from intense orchestra to a hopeful idol concert for this boss fight theme.

[@jabermogwai5996]

just like someone mention above, its more like gothic metal vs modern christian praise song

[@FumoCore6FiresofReiuji]

I was confused and felt blueballed by the "fake ending" but the game slapped me in the face the actual ending sequence. Was so good it gave me huge goosebumps and made me tear up a little. I can safely say this surpassed Cocolia for me.

[@MrFox-eh9nb]

The "bad ending" Now we know why it leads to it.

[@Talon1124]

Wildfire was the last gasp of a world that was dying. A resurgence of a guttering flame, rekindled by hope. Hope is the thing with feathers is a defiance of fate, a slap in the face of Order. "No, we won't dream.endlessly in this curated space where nothing changes and things are safe. Life is just as much the pain as it is the pleasure... if you take one away, that's no longer 'life'." Why does life slumber? Because we aren't yet ready to take that final step on the grand adventure after death.

[@robertori8341]

literally

[@MacThienHao]

Welt: "Those imprisoned in their dream are awakening for Freedom." Robin: "Brother... The weakness of humanity cannot be redeemed by others." Himeko: "Witness... the will of the weak!" Dan Heng: "You have a noble soul... Don't be shackled by the past!" March 7th: "Even if the future is full of pain... we won't escape from it!"

[@OmegaShanic]

March 7th "Even if the future is full of pain... we won't escape from it!"

[@Talon1124]

This, is the truth of the Path of Trailblaze. Offering a hand to anyone in need. Even an enemy... especially a man who is doing the wrong thing for the right reasons. "We rise together. As our destiny unfolds. We face the darkness and our trials are yet untold."

[@kuroh0241]

March's voice lines sounds very ominous now that I look at it.

[@esdeathsenpai5128]

Simply reading it definitely strips away the intent on that one

[@eandlbloodflower6765]

Dan Heng's EN version absolutely didn't make sense to me -- "Is he talking about the souls in Penacony?" -- until I read a translation of the JP version and realized that Dan Heng was addressing Sunday and telling the latter to not give into the darkness that formed in his noble heart.

[@MrFox-eh9nb]

The feeling when the first and 2nd phases are like *ORDER* in dominance until Robin sang and override it with the power of *HARMONY*

[@dark_wolf260]

To be fair, she's stronger than the Harmonious Choir

[@daokoxd1145]

Funny thing is Sunday preaches Order but his boss theme is a combination of disorderly sounds

[@Emesvi]

[@BearFlyGames]

The first time I tried this fight, I thought I could cheat through it with Aventurine's Shields, but eventually got overwhelmed in the second stage. But the second time, I realized that that was literally against the philosophy of the battle, relying on one person to generate Shield, when the party should've been working together to generate it through attacking the boss... The fact that that narrative, the idea that you need the party to work together in *harmony* to overcome an overwhelming *order,* and it's *baked into the gameplay;* I can barely put into words. This was an incredibly designed boss, both visually and conceptually. I had to *Walk In The Light,* and could no longer *conceal my schemes.* 🎉

[@harryharper5358]

Infirma Nostri Corporis flows into Symphony no.8 flawlessly it's just on another level of holy

[@LordStrell]

There are so many nuances in this song you can’t even hear if you’re not using headphones. Like holy god i just plugged my senheisers in and there’s so many details i never heard before. The clocks ticking being the biggest one.

[@yuorion3056]

i will forever continue to yap about the golden hour theme being partially used for this because its such a cool thing that game developers do!! using a recurring theme in the game for a boss (I guess golden hour isn't really recurring but Golden Hour is what i associate the surface of penacony with, Hollow Knight is a great game that does something like this though! Many many boss osts are reminiscent of the menu theme)

[@zee1010]

It's even cooler considering that the Golden Hour is described as the Moment where it never becomes tomorrow, it's forever right before midnight (or something like that, I don't remember the exact quote). This "eternal happiness" is literally Sunday's ideal and the reason why he did what he did. Edit: The Penacony Grand Theater OST (City Upon a Hill) also has the same Golden Hour motif and is directly connected to Sunday through - well, not only the fact that it's the location of the boss fight - but it's also the OST used in Aventurine's character demo where he's being questioned by Sunday while under the Harmony (/ Order?) curse.

[@yuorion3056]

@@zee1010 YEAHHH I THOUGHT ABOUT THAT TOO THE MIDNIGHT THING

[@RebL3333]

HOLLOW KNIGHT OST MENTIONED🗣️🗣️🗣️ WHAT THE F*CK IS A BAD SONG🔥🔥🔥

[@SuspiciousScout]

The Golden Hour is probably the area you frequent the most in Penacony, so it's the closest thing to a recurring theme there is, and I liked that detail too.

[@FaultlineSurfer]

The choral arrangement of the Golden Hour theme at the beginning of the fight is absolutely beautiful. It truly says: "This is it. This is a battle for Penacony itself. Prove that you can win."

[@convergeman7825]

It's surprising that after all these years of eldritch god monsters being the final boss of RPGs, I don't think any of them have ever been fought to an uplifting pop idol song before. It's nice, and wierdly subversive? The closest I can think of was another game called Stella Glow back on the 3ds, but that was more of a traditional anime opening-styled song.

[@jdg7327]

If Cocolia was pure hype, this was pure joy. When the OST hit on the Chorus I felt that I was there fighting with my team on the Finale of an anime. This really reminds me of HI3 Legion Theatre arc with finale for Everlasting Flames.

I really wonder how they will do better than Penacony, this story was just pure perfection and 10/10 for me, everything was perfect: story, plot twists, characters, musics, etc

[@goblinslayer310]

the writers peaked. I wonder if they invent peak 2.0

[@higorgabriel2598]

don't forget that people used to say they wouldn't do any better than Belobog and Wildfire, yet here we are, gentlemen, I don't think these are flukes, I think it's okay to expect even better or at least on the same level, of course, this all depends on personal opinion.

[@ashleycurzon6348]

Part of it is due to players emotional connection to the game, so a way I think they could do better is (theorycrafting) in the next world or sometime soon we find out about March 7th's backstory/memories and the boss of the area has some connection to her (heck it could turn out that March is evil and she turns out to be the boss)

Despite the gacha-side, this game made me feel I play a grand RPG like Final Fantasy/persona or many others. Fuckin' love moments like that !

[@DeNihility]

This is the kind of experience i'm willing to pay money for. As long as they can keep bringing us this level of quality with the storytelling, beautiful music, each epic moment, the laughter and tears and just sheer emotion with it all... Thousands of dollars and absolutely worth every penny of it. Can't really say the same for Western games tho. *Cough* Ubisoft *Cough*.

[@emilythedragon]

I did not think they could outdo Wildfire but this goes astronomically hard

[@TerrorUnit]

The whole fight's OST reminded me of how they executed Vita / Sa Boss Fight on Honkai Impact 3rd with the same choir-like theme that makes you feel fighting a being of High Order aside from them being a God on their own fields / territory. And yes, this is actually quite similar to Herrscher of Dominance boss fight in a way with the same setting of battlefield being in a theatre, Sasuga Shaoji-sama (just don't let him cook or else he'll kill someone for real LMAO).

[@user-yg7yi3jn3q]

I was expecting this OST to be "A Beautiful Song" level (from Nier Automata). My expectations were absolutely blown. Hoyo never dissapoints with their music.
