I love how EVERYTHING about this fight feels like it wasn't meant to be seen. The boss gate is hidden underground, in an area with the most foreboding music in the game, and the gate itself needs more keys to access than the other gates. That "Self restoring" force Gerald mentions in his dialogue was working on overdrive to make sure that Mephiles didn't worm his way back into existence and, even if only for a fleeting moment, he still broke out.

I really love how they handled Mephiles here. He is clearly the only boss character in Generations overall that is completely aware that he only exists in the void, and that his sudden chance to return only happened cause of Black Doom. And he’s doing his damnest to make sure he defeats Shadow to not waste what could be his only opportunity. You can hear it in his voice, especially near the end, when he is full of desperation and fear. A far cry from his manipulative, fearless former self. Kinda makes you feel bad for him, though he clearly had it coming. Props to the team for making Mephiles’ surprising return truly a spectacle.

This boss fight effectively confirmed that Mephiles IS "alive". He's simply stuck in the void, unable to leave and interact with the timeline; fully aware of his predicament. Which asks a VERY interesting question: If Robotnik(Classic) and Eggman(Modern) managed to find their way out of the void, what's stopping Mephiles? Or is he alredy out and we just don't know it yet?

I absolutely love that this fight single handedly confirmed how the places from 06 are able to exist despite what happened at the end of that game, the Time Eater managed to bring those places back because it took things from every time, everything that ever happened was affected by it, including the "defunct" timeline that got erased from existence because it still happened at some point in time at the end of the day, Mephiles here knows he doesn't exist anymore, and you can tell that by his dialogue "I will restore myself back into the timeline", beating Shadow would alter the events of history and may lead to him somehow returning, him getting defeated locks him into the fate he was given at the end of 06, and just by the desperation and in his voice you can tell how hard he genuinely wants to win, but in the end, once he's defeated and the Time Anomaly is solved, Mephiles ceases to exist once again alongside Crisis City and everything that relates to Solaris. Maybe this was all obvious but I remember there being a lot of confusion surrounding the presence of Crisis City in the original Generations causing some to question whether the Time Eater somehow recanonised the Events of 06 or how it was even able to bring them back at all when they were supposedly erased, and im glad Shadow Gens is clearing that up.

Gotta love the fact that Mephiles has plenty of signs that he truly is forgotten by not just the characters, but by time itself - Not only is he aware of it by his dialogue, but his boss stage location is underground and out of sight from everything compared to Biolizard and Metal Overlord having their boss stages effectively be on top of the castles, high up where anyone could see them. Compared to those two, who are effectively still remembered and existing in the past, Mephiles is straight-up buried deeper in the White Void, doomed to remain there as a fragment of a forgotten time.

I’m afraid a Silver Generations isn’t really possible because Silver doesn’t have a lot of past to re-explore because he hasn’t been used all that much. The only levels I could see them doing are maybe all the levels from 06, a level from Sonic Rivals, one from Colors (he was in the DS version, I’m pretty sure), that Jungle area from Forces where he fought Infinite, and maybe one of the Starfall Islands from Frontiers (because, hey, they did it for Shadow, I don’t see a problem with doing it for Silver).

This bossfight absolutely floored me when I first played it. From the moment I saw Mephiles in the trailer, I was excited for his bossfight, and Sega did not disappoint. This fight does so much with so little. Mephiles isn't even the final boss, but he still has the presentation of much. His desperate pleas to exist are so powerful. It's so intriguing seeing a Mephiles that's a far cry from what he once was. He's no longer calculated. He's screaming and clawing and throwing everything possible at Shadow in a desperate attempt to get just one more shot at existence. It's amazing

"There is No Future for you, EVER" Shadow upon sealing Mephiles AGAIN after this fight It appears Ian has kept toying with the "Does Shadow remember" question- and at the end of the fight, the answer is YES, based on Shadow's language here. Shadow knows now- it took an entire fight. But it was always a mystery- as he was Super Shadow when Sonic reset the timeline- so there was always a chance Shadow could remember it. Appears Ian took advantage of that, though Shadow did not remember at the start of the fight

While it might not lead to anything, there's something that should be kept in mind... Shadow doesn't remember Mephiles, and when Mephiles was defeated he went back into the Sceptre of Darkness. But... This is Dusty Desert Mephiles at the earliest, and when Shadow tried to seal him away in the Sceptre again at that point, Mephiles told Shadow that sealing him in the Sceptre wouldn't work anymore. What if he went back in the Sceptre to get Shadow to let his guard down, so that he can make his escape?

I’m willing to argue about justifying Mephiles’ actions, but more so, Solaris’, while not justifying his murder of Sonic If we have to go back, remember, Solaris was previously a peaceful god, until the people of Soleanna had experimented on him, basically, turning him unstable Mephiles’ ultimate goal was to reunite with his other half, by any means And while yes, he killed Sonic, I can’t blame the crazed god for trying to unleash his blind wrath on everyone, not just people who hurt and exploited him Like, remember Chaos? Chaos was allowed to be pacified and laid to rest, but Solaris and Mephiles, by extension, are suddenly just evil and not a product of their hurt?

Sega never wanted to bring Mephiles back before because of the failure that 2006 was, but with X Shadow Generations being a success and everyone loving it,Mainly the participation of Mephiles, which was the biggest hype for the game, I no longer see any reason for Sega not to want to use the Mephiles character. Therefore, I think that now we really can See him again as the main villain just like he was in 2006

His original goal wasn’t just to destroy everything; it was revenge against the humans who experimented on Solaris, who basically was him. But after everyone responsible for his suffering was gone, all that remained were the corrupted parts of Solaris that craved destruction with no real purpose. It’s heartbreaking to see how he’s trapped in this endless cycle, losing any sense of himself in the process. His return to the new game feels like a last-ditch effort to escape that cycle and reclaim some control over his fate. He started out wanting revenge, but now he's just trapped, desperate, and broken. Poor Solaris, endlessly suffering and seeking a way out.

I can kind of understand what people are saying about how Rob's performance is meant to symbolize his desperation on getting out of the erased Timeline, I just think he's a bit too high pitched cause Mephiles is still a dark character. I think it would've been a better choice if either Jessie James Grelle or J. Tatum were the recast, because they can still have that bit of darkness while still sound desperate.

Interesting. Although a part of me was expecting Mephiles to sound different (it has been like, what, two decades since he’s had an actual appearance, voiced and all?), I’m not sure *how* to feel about Mephiles’ new voice. Could they not get Dan Green back to voice him? Is it Dan Green or is it another voice actor? Did his old voice also get erased from existence and he had to get a new one in-universe? Well, either way, I guess even Mephiles is not safe from the whole “Sonic characters suddenly getting new voices in the English version of the series every decade or more” tradition. (Edit: After reading some of the comments here, I now understand why Mephiles sounds different. Apparently, Dan Green had retired from voice acting in 2011 after the passing of his wife. A very understandable reason and I am sorry for his loss. I hope he’s doing alright these days. Mephiles’ new voice actor here is Robbie Daymond). Voice aside, it’s good to see Mephiles again, even if there is no future for him. Ever. As a fan of him, I’ll still have to come to terms with accepting that fact considering just how dangerous he is as Solaris, his true self. Either way, Solaris means a lot to me considering how much the super-dimensional being that eats dimensions for lunch has been a great source of inspiration for me in terms of creativity, alongside some of the other godly beings in the Sonic series and I’m not ashamed nor embarrassed to express that just because Solaris originated from Sonic ‘06 of all games. Ever since I fell in love with Solaris, god characters in general have been a great source of inspiration for me and tend to be my favorite characters in media and my favorite kind of entity in general. Solaris had also made me become real familiar with all the space-time and multiversal elements used in media. (Now that I think about it, what would happen if someone were to absorb Solaris in his original tiny flame form and assimilate him into their being instead of just blowing him out of existence? Would they gain all of Solaris’ traits and abilities? Become a new form of the entity? It’s something that I tend to imagine when I think about him now. I just want to absorb him and assimilate him into my being. Pardon, ignore my weird personal ramblings here.)

Alot of people bash on the VA for Mephiles but don't consider that Mephiles is basically trapped in his own existential hell. It has driven him to near insanity and destroyed the confidence he once had. He's not pulling the strings anymore. He's desperate to feel existence once again. Also Shadow is so powerful he beat Mephiles out of canon. Literally.

Why’s he surprised Shadow doesn’t know him? He knows he’s from an erased, or severed, timeline. He’s fighting to return to a living timeline, the presumably Prime Timeline. Too bad for him Iblis is lost. Even if he returned, the Flames of Disaster wouldn’t be there. He could never be made whole again. But maybe just existing would be enough for him. Here’s hoping he’ll get to return again.

Coming to think about it, Ibls could still exist in the current timeline. Blaze absorbed him and dissapered at the end of 06. There's a theory that when she dissapered, she travled back in time to another dimention, becomming the current Blaze through amnisure. It's a bit far fetched, but hey, it's Sonic! They've retconned bigger stuff before. Anyway, IF they make the theory cannon, then our Blaze could be holding Iblis inside of her, making her the new Iblis Trigger. I don't think the franchise would go that far, but hey, good fodder for a tragic Blaze fanfic ;P

@@Nov-5062my guess is both Crisis City and the Arena where the Scepter of Darkness is function as a kind of Limbo. Places outside of time left over from Solaris’s flame being blown out. Since the events of 06 did happen that timeline had to go somewhere. Perhaps some kind of cosmic force or temporal law at play keeping them trapped and separated. The shenanigans of Time Eater and Doom opened the door to these temporal prisons. Giving Mephiles the opportunity to escape. How exactly? Idk, but beating Shadow is part of it. Iblis might have been able to escape too but with his essence spread out throughout the city he can’t reform into his full self. Not that it matters since he’s a mindless monster. Mephiles was the consciousness of Solaris. The “brains” if you will. The devs definitely didn’t go that deep into thought about this but it’s fun to theorize over. Tho I still hope they bring Mephiles back to the prime timeline for good. I’m a fan of Sonic not just facing Eggman all the time. I’m also the same with Bowser not being the big bad in Mario games all the time (why I particularly loved the first 3 Mario and Luigi RPGs). Mephiles coming back as a villain and having no means of merging with Iblis would make him a better recurring character. He would have new motives for his actions. And he’d be ideal for the main antagonist for a Shadow solo game. Side Note: I’d also love to see the comic characters come into the games. By all accounts, the IDW comics are part of the main canon. And they each have their own unique abilities and can function as either player characters or bosses. Like Rough and Tumble, Surge (who could be a rival boss or a playable character), Kit, Doctor Starline, and Mimic.
