There is something that makes the Yu Ji battle even trippier: it’s a reversal from the source material. If you read through Sun Ce’s interaction/s with him in RotTK, it reads as something even weirder. Furthermore, Sun Ce’s death comes about because he had Yu Ji killed. This is actually tamer than what’s in the novel!

One way they could have changed Barbas’ character for the better would be to give him multiple faces. So before the boss, we see different Anchors for the Raptor network. That way, the boss switches between different voices and faces the more damage Dante does. Helps to add to the theme of the boss, different faces yet the same message.

To me, I love the Bravely Second example because of a tiny detail Josh actually got a little wrong about Providence. He doesn't attack you if you take too long selecting moves, it happens whenever he's "ready" to attack, and he interrupts whatever is going on to attack. (Including mid attack animation!) Mechanically, IIRC, he attacks on what's basically an invisible timer...which is eerily reminiscent of the classic ATB Final Fantasy systems. While the game itself is a turn-based speed style game like Pokemon or FF 1-3. It's almost like an inverse version of Psycho Mantis, where instead of you beating him by thinking outside of the rules of the game, the boss is attacking you via an entirely different system YOU can't control.

[@barrybend7189]

I was wondering why providence was so unsettling in its pattern.

I'll be honest, I'm amazed a major player in the reviewing community has also heard of No Straight Roads, as it's a pretty good game, especially for the first (and only as far as I'm aware) major title from an indie developer. Granted, indie devs with great games are fairly common depending on which you play, but this is from a company and a country that (and I mean this in the best way I can) I didn't expect to make something as good as NSR, Malaysia! Even for a game that shows off the power of what at first sounds like a generic genre (i.e. EDM), it manages to make each subgenre sound unique, and no two bosses have the same kind of music, design or stage. In short, my hat goes off to Metronomik, here's to a possible sequel!

[@ZynetESLD]

Agreed. Especially with a pathway by successfully balancing out edm and rock. Literally managing to get the needle to stay at a consistent 50/50, not dropping it throughout the boss battles. To hammer in the idea that although at opposing ends, when working together, in equal parts, something truly special can come about. I mean, let's be honest...rock n roll crossed with drum and bass? THAT SOUNDS LIKE THE MOST BADASS THING EVER.

[@CyberLink70]

You don't NEED to change controller ports, actually. If you keep fighting Mantis without doing so, after the game explicitly tells you to switch ports, the game will assume you can't access Controller Port 2, and will ask you this via Codec Call. The game then tells you to destroy the heads of the statues in the boss room.

Ehh.. you're half-right about Mantis. He has you do that, sure, but if the player just doesn't swap to the second controller port, through a series of Codecs, the player IS given an alternative.

[@mrreyes5004]

Thing is, Kojima only did that because someone reminded him that some people might be playing it on an emulator (which, clearly, lacks controller ports). Metal Gear Solid in general is full of stuff like this; for example, near the beginning of the game, one of the characters flat-out tells the player to check the back of game case for a Codec frequency number that is 100% necessary to progress in the game (granted, there is another alternative for this as well, but the fourth-wall-breaking route is obviously preferred by all parties).

I'm kinda leaning towards Bael from Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night. As the ruler of all demons, he's talked up more than a few times throughout the game. When you finally fight him, you'd expect a giant dragon or something like that. Instead, he's a three-headed monster (one human, reptile, and cat), with all three connected by long necks in a circle. You're not even really on a stage when you fight him, rather within the loop that is his body. It's the kind of form that could only belong to the demon that rules all others.

So, the Character Yu ji actually has this sort of unconfirmed idea of how Sun Ce died. Yu ji, whose name is actually Gan ji, was a wandering taoist that roamed around the Jiang Dong region during the time Wu was under control of Sun Ce. Yu Ji was actually being praised as this powerful magician and healer, which, when Sun Ce heard of him, grew suspicious and had him executed on the reason that Yu ji was confusing the people of Wu of his talents. Yu ji's spirit was said to have returned and haunted Sun Ce as act of vengence, which caused Sun Ce to die of shock. The reason this story is, to some, considered false due to the lack of evidence holding weight to this. Yes, there are a few, if not, a couple of ancient texts talking Yu Ji and Sun Ce's death, but they tell different accounts on how Yu ji managed to kill Sun Ce. Some historians think that Yu ji would of been to old to have met Sun Ce and some of the tales depict Yu ji as less of a innocent person.

Every final boss in Undertale has a key word attached to it which I really like: Asriel has your friends trapped and your action command is to SAVE them and Asriel from himself; Photoshop Flowey locks the game up and you're forced to face him, and even though you're alone on this you call for help and the trapped souls try to aid as much as possible but to finish him of you have to stand through the chaos and FIGHT! Fight your foe! Fight to survive! Fight to the end! And FIGHT for yourself; And Sans, if it isn't obvious after all you did, you are not fighting, you are KILLING, you did all that because wanted to (kind of wish the FIGHT command changed to KILL just to rub it in) Sans points this all throughout the fight and you get some dialogue of how sadistic you can be if you redo the fight after winning it.

*watches # 10* So in dynasty warriors 5 you get to do that yu ji boss fight and I kinda find it creepier and sadder to me. you're in a castle arena at night with only torches acting as your light. Dealing with the phantoms, you fight not only sun jian, but also your own soldiers and even da qiao his wife. Depending on which one you defeat you'll get a mini cutscene as they fall defeated before revealing it's a mind controlled soldier that was pretending to be them due to magic. According to the camp talk where you're given backstory on the battle or whats going on before you enter the stage, you find out Yu Ji entered Wu shortly after Sun Ce gets the foundations of wu situated and he's considered the little conqueror. He's lying and manipulating people in the background to mess with the army's moral before he decided to challenge sun ce 'one on one' to kill him. After the battle Sun ce falls ill and passes away, hinting that the magician yu ji cursed him. You can only get this stage by playing as sun ce, and he reveals that after the fight, he's not feeling right. If you play as da qiao, in her ending cutscene, it shows that despite winning the battles and him being alive, sun ce is still weak, and running on borrowed time.

[@josepharmstrong1788]

I would mention the Distortion World from Pokémon Platinum since it’s still the trippiest dungeon in the franchise. It has a phenomenal atmosphere with great music and gravity flipping mechanics and my favorite Pokémon from the generation, Giratina, offering a menacing presence while being unusually calm and lawfully orderly for the Pokémon god of chaos. However I am not going to hold it against you because the boss battles against Cyrus and Giratina are standard battles against static (I’ll be it atmospheric) backgrounds, and the strength puzzles are underwhelming. Also, I am holding out for the Sinnoh remakes to crank the atmosphere to 11, and possibly bring back inverse battles to take this to the biggest mindf*%^ in the franchise.

[@saphiriathebluedragonknight375]

Lusimine from Sun/Moon could have been on the list if we fought her instead of her Pokemon.

[@SetoShadowVT]

Still love the Bob fight. My favorite fight in DMC: DMC

I was not prepared for an impromptu YTP clip. Kinda surprised you never dabbled in it until now seeing as Zelda CDi was one of your guilty pleasures.

13:01 JoshScorcher did not pass the vibe check.

[@Hawkx10]

I'm surprised Catherine's boss fights didn't make it on the list "Immoral Beast", "The Child" except for Big Brother in the Full Body version and the "Fist of Grudge" which is just a hand and an arm the rest of the bosses are enough to give me nightmares. Although given that it's the month of Halloween maybe "Bosses That Give You Nightmares" should've been the next list with one of these bosses on it.

[@lilsunny7399]

although a few of the bosses had grotesque or trippy designs, it was more about how they mess with the characters or player in this case. Not specifically their design

[@13wolfy13]

I thought I'd hit the bell for this channel? Apparently not. Bad(Yay) work man!

[@EggmanlandResident]

I'm surprised that Axiom Verge and the segment in Ukkin-Na aren't on this at all. It does have a boss battle at the end, and is really trippy in a fever dream kind of way.

[@brendanmilburn9067]

Josh, thank you for shining a spotlight on No Straight Roads, I'm definitely going to buy it immediately.

[@MacNava]

Can't wait for your Halloween Countdown!

[@SpiderandMosquito]

That Glove and Boots clip is just... *chef's kiss* ... I miss that channel so

[@whitemage34]

I love the twilight zone opening

[@gent777]

I was expecting #6 to be compared to Earthbound.

[@macaylacayton2915]

May I say that THIS LIST IS THE PERFECT HALLOWEEN TREAT?

[@eternalshadow1326]

A boss that I find really strange is the final boss of epic battle fantasy 5 as they are constantly talking to the player and then the ending just made me feel kinda disturbed cause of how it says its "dying" words and what they are.

[@UltimateGamerCC]

i was wondering what you was gonna do for this Halloween, specifically thinking it would be this or a video about Tim Burton, cause all his movies fit the Halloween look, everything from the Castle in Edward Scissorhands to the unusual characters seen in Big Fish.

[@StainedRevenant]

I knew this video wouldn’t be complete without a Bravely entry.

[@katanalandt4371]

These all seem pretty tame compared to what I’ve seen on the internet. It takes a LOT to weird me out these days.

[@jettythesunfish]

Yes! Bravely Second! Loved that game. I felt it and Default messed with the fourth wall WAY better than Undertale. Especially so in the final battle with Providence and in a way that wasn't cheesy or felt outright undeserved, as you spend most of the latter half of the game trying to redeem the villains so it makes sense they'll come around to thank and cheer you on.

[@roxas4930]

Exactly both bravely games do mindfucks crazy well

[@jettythesunfish]

@@roxas4930 Really makes me all the more hyped for Bravely Default 2. Just wanna see how they'll demolish the fourth wall next.

[@bluestreaker9242]

Plus, it helped that Bravely Second handled its story AND finale MUUUUCH better than Bravely Default. Seriously...go through the game...FOUR! TIMES!! JUST TO BEAT THE GAME PROPER!? WTF IS THIS, SONIC HEROES!? DX

[@MrSailing101]

My back still hurts from the knife wound.

[@jettythesunfish]

@@bluestreaker9242 Agreed. I liked that Second actually integrated a New Game+ into its own story. It fixed one of Default's issues and did something fresh at the same time.

[@doomsoul9096]

Nice twilight zone reference. I remember watching that show a ton with my family.

[@Triforce_of_Doom]

Love the Twilight Zone homage at the start.

[@shadowlinkbds]

Ah here's the October based countdown I was waiting for. And who doesn't love mindf#*ks? (Well quite a bit of people possibly) However I really enjoy them since I've always love twisted things whether in video games, movies, or anthology series.

[@matteste]

I would say the final boss of Hellsinker, Garland, would be a contender. Sure the game is strange in general but that boss takes it to a whole another level. And then there is that whole segment against Erasure in ZeroRanger. Oh, and Drakengard just being an honorable mention? HERESY!!

[@matteste]

@Channel07 Nice to see another one who knows of those games.

[@CB-uu8yu]

Was not expecting NSR here. Love how the fandom just weaves its way in everywhere somehow. Eve's theme is by far one of the best

[@queenssnowfall]

Happy to see no straight roads on here I actually bought the game because it looked super pretty and I finished it too glad to see it's on a list thank you Josh

[@wingedapollyon1677]

Its not often I see the Bravely series on a countdown. Im glad Providence was on this list because he was also such a mind blower when I first played it, his name, blatant 2nd phase design, and the fact that he talks Directly to the player about how if you continue the heroes will suffer (Although there are probably more games that do the "stop playing this game or else" better and more shocking) Im wondering how will Bravely Default 2 one up Second's fourth wall break if they have the celestial realm be part of the game

[@ChaosServant-ll7pr]

19:57 Thank you, I appreciate that.
