Vide the Wicked Boss Fight (All Transitions), OCTOPATH 2 OST

Facts. Lowkey OT2 was the underdog GOTY of last year for me as someone who was really disappointed by how OT1 fell short. It felt surreal to see every problem I had fixed, which sequels rarely achieve (looking at you TotK)

[@thoet7270]

​@Charnutboy ot1 left me wanting more, so many sections of the map left unexplored or just small overall, the grindiness of it all, the lack of companionship between the travelers with no tie in with the major plot (kinda), it gave me no reason to fight galdera (which i didnt even know existed) OT2 does a much better in every regard. Graphically, musically, on a story level, both a traveler and overarching plot, the relationship between the travelers feel much stronger and real aided by their reactions in fights (when they break or kill someone or are on the verge of death), actually having the travelers talk to eachother with their voices and having an actual final boss that ties in everything and everyone with no loose ends. The fact that the moonshade villains spell an anti OCTOPATH is enough to make my climax. Vide and the Shadow are much more compelling concepts over Galdera too, the helpnessless the moonshade order feels because of the world wronging them so much is completely relatable and scaringly accurate to how despair makes you feel. Im also glad that Ori was able to stay alive because she had doubts about ending it all, mirroring how just one connection with someone can bring you back from the brink. Partitio as my protag made everything also much more positive, which helps alot since 6 out of 8 stories are incredibly dark and/or depressing. Primrose as my starter was amazing too, but in some weird way, every single ot2 character outclasses her HEAVILY.

[@MurtorSH]

2023 is a rough year because of Hogwarts Legacy and Resident Evil 4 Remake, which are (and that's already pretty clear) in the front row for the game awards. Octopath Traveler won't win the award for best RPG because of Hogwarts Legacy. And because many people are biased, they will reflect their dedication for this game on other categories as well. This is, for example, why Final Fantasy 7 Remake won the music award despite the fact it fought against Ori and the Will of the Wisps. Don't get me wrong: FF7 Remake is a super good game. But best soundtrack? I think not.

[@carbon6111]

Assuming it even gets nominated. It will not win regardless who it's up against unless all other nominations are less popular that OT2. If people haven't played the game, and turn-based JRPG is niche, they will just vote for what they know.

[@Le_Dom]

​@Murtor Hogwarts Legacy is mediocre at best, but unfortunately, I expect this to happen just because of its attached IP.

[@ephemeral6153]

yeah srsly if they use common sense this beats everything and personally hifi rush 2nd.

[@marcthomas5949]

Crap I just realized isnt breath of the wild 2 supposed to come out this year?

[@dew-it8744]

Absolutely love how those who hope for the dawn has the final fantasy baseline” at the beginning

[@isaiasweber6222]

When La'mani says "With the light from thyne hearts I shall weave meself a fine cloak of shining greed' I couldn't stop screaming of pure rage and joy while crying non-stop.

[@jet_set8648]

Easily one of my favorite final bosses out of any game I've played in my lifetime. Not just the music, but the fight itself.

[@sazabi888]

This twist was outta nowhere I remember when he yelled "it's videin' time" as he proceeded to vide all over like they didn't have to go so hard

[@Hailstormful]

Nishiki-san: "Harder, you say..." **Transitions into phase 2, Break and Boost version**

[@xDDDDDp3000]

Choosing Agnea as you protagonist is funny because it goes from "I want to become a super star... oh no my sister is lost in the forest" To "Ok guys we have to seal again the embodiment of chaos who got sealed years ago by the 8 gods"

[@shashurimagrease2890]

It gave me flashbacks of God Shattering Star from Fire Emblem 3H, They're both very very good

[@craxnor]

Hikari: “Damn he has ominous Latin chanting. Only one thing to do. TEMENOS!” Temenos: “understood!” Whips out electric guitar and begins to shred!

[@valky_uniguri]

When La'mani used Nocturne of Sang i couldn't believe summoned Dreisang from Octopath Traveler 1 who then cast The Other True Magic and wiped my entire team of 8. Definitely worthy of a final boss

[@923crono]

1:27 is truly peak. Love this final boss theme

[@MahBoi100]

La'Mani is simply the best character in the game. I brought him with me to the final boss because I wanted him by my side. He actually ended up getting a clutch break with RECITAL À LA'MANI which helped me win lol

[@LuisFlores-ik8kd]

Man, after defeating the hidden Cave of Misfortune (Lv 75) where you find the painting explaining that La'mani sacrificed his dreams for seal the Mad Dog of the Apocalypsis in his early phase of growing... Was a hearth breaking moment, there you realize any character (even NPC) in this game could be a vital piece to assure a new dawn.

[@vegalucas7782]

Hikari : Kazan...from what i learned through my own journey. I meet a lot of friends that filled my hearts, passion, Joy, and courage. But theres one thing that i learned through out of this journey. Those who keeps up until the dawn, shall embraces the dawn. But to those who fails, will not keep up with the dawn. Kazan...you’re envy to those who keeps up do you?. You took those trust i gave you so you can push everything...and everyone to the same path of yours. My journey may ends here, but at least would leave it with a good note.

[@mj_out]

Just beat it and feeling now the void after the completion of a game.

[@CrazyPills-465]

Spoiler Damn, Arcanette/Mindt was such a massive fakeout, to think L’amani was the Moonshade Order’s leader the whole time

[@francescomena8181]

Spoiler When you get so pissed off about the fact a country girl asked you to not be such an elitist prick that you decide to join a cult bent on bringing an eternal night, it's time for you to start reconsidering your priorities.

[@PsychSoldier756]

Top ten anime plot twists

[@bazokarpg1999]

I find it Interesting how of Vide's summoners thay are evil make up the unique letters in OCTOPATH while the broken ones/victims make up the repeated letters. Arcanette, Claude, Petrichtor and Harvey vs Oboro, Ori, Tanzy and Trousseau

[@thoet7270]

Extremely interesting outlook. Ori and Oboro experienced extreme situations of war that had no end in sight, Tanzy and Trosseau lost someone very important to them for no reason at all. Both very real outcomes in current times... despair has many forms, to Tanzys worship of Arcanette, the abuse of the Darkling, the deceitfulness of Ori and Oboro and the absolute madness of Trosseau

[@ItachiiXSaber]

This is easily my game of the year (pc), so good.

[@dagossYT]

Me at 6:47: "I got this!" Me at 6:48: "I don't got this!"

[@erdtroll7010]

The lord of dark, the archon, ODI- wait wrong final boss But still if you‘ve played both you‘ll notice aLOT of similarities between Octopath 2 and Live A Live, especially in the endgame Wouldn’t surprise me if both Octopaths were heavily inspired by Live A Live

[@pyroball602]

Octopath Traveler 1 got a special thanks to the devs of Live-a-Live, so it makes a lot of sense.

[@hungrytaco6879]

La'mani, the final boss of 2023

[@CarlosRamirez-jt7tm]

I cant stop listening to this song, specially from minute 6:00, this is so F epic!

[@AtheistPirate]

When you drown the world in darkness to get back at a wannabe idol and her roadies.

[@1313hman]

Humorously, the title and thumbnail of this video was my first exposure to Octopath traveler. As such, I spent the entire first game and a good portion of the second convinced that what in reality was La'mani was actually Vide. Seeing other comments though, it seems like I wasn't too far off (at least in fanon territory)

[@AllanDrak]

0:48 Those guys are fighting God!!! 😮 6:48 AND THEY ARE WINNING!!! 😱

[@mj_out]

This is such a masterpiece.

[@frank2mb]

Late to the party, but encountering La'Mani just puts the Sans boss fight of Undertale to shame. There's a small chance that he starts out with a spread-all party attack that brings your party down to 1 HP and inflicts all debuffs and stat reductions for 10 turns and does not allow you to heal, but this does not affect Agnea, for some reason. Man. Vide is shook.

[@Fran_622]

Maaan this is fucking amazing

THE METAL PART🔥🔥🔥❤️❤️❤️😍

[@rook8472]

Will we be getting fierce confrontation at some point? Thank you for uploading all these!

[@boianko]

Yes please. That track is my favourite in the game.

[@cheddarsunchipsyes8144]

@@boiankonah honestly untitled battle theme is better

[@boianko]

@@cheddarsunchipsyes8144 When does that track play?

[@bennydourouguy303]

I legit thought that lifting the veil would have been the final boss theme, it really hyped me up

[@deis4632]

this song is tooooo beautiful!!!!!

[@SamusAranUwU]

La'mani the true final boss.

[@Ghalion666]

great music, thank you!
