You know Brevon's one of the greatest villains in video game history when you can vividly feel his horrifying presence through a soundtrack's leitmotif and a flashing image.

[@gamerprince-tl5hg]

Seeing Brevon's image very briefly was such a treat.

[@WoxyBoxy]

Was finally able to play since it just hit consoles and I squealed when he showed up

[@beauwalker9820]

He may not be in the game, (was almost expecting him to pull a "Ganon" and usurp the new villain) but it's nice he kinda cameos, and his remaining minions, and influence is felt in the game, and had repercussions on the characters and world in game. It's very clever to not have the original main villain, but still respect his character, and the impact he had on the series.

[@andrewhall6479]

“Shall we proceed with the extraction, Lord Brevon?” He’s coming…

[@Bautista30100]

If you put in context In the moment syntax summons a brevon Is summoning one of the attacks that in Freedom Planet 1 was shown as lethal attack in both cutscenes and in game So with that in mind Seeing syntax summoning the same attack many times without a break like a normal attack is what makes this boss something to fear

[@silverwinterwolf2064]

its even scarrier when part of Brevon's Boss Theme plays for a brief moment

[@callmeninaiced]

although brevon has long escaped from avalice he is still haunting our heroines

[@supersmily5811]

Merga VS Brevon for the sequel?

[@Zerokin]

Remember that Syntax and Serpentine are still loyal to Lord Brevon, despite the latter being forcefully transformed by Lord Brevon.

[@galloviking4766]

Not sure if it's explained anywhere how Serpentine even became so huge in the first game? I mean, we know it's the same as Milla, but I wouldn't be surprised if he willingly received whatever compound that is.

[@kyonbrace5487]

I remember it saying he wanted arms, Brevon delivered with a side effect of making him insane and devoted to him Those arms were destroyed in the first game, so his loyalty to Brevon is dangerously genuine

[@mr.saturn]

​@@kyonbrace5487Possibly. But I thought his brainwashing was linked to his helmet as the way to control those arms, or it was a permanent result regardless. I could be wrong though.

[@hgarr]

Such an incredible climax to the best & most terrifying level from the game! Easily one of my favourite final boss themes from any game!

[@leafypotatostyle]

Ayo this boss is half the reason I'm already hyped for FP3. (The other half is the idea of more Cory screentime :]) But FR though, Syntax being able to interface with Bakunawa's murder weapon is kinda crazy, not to mention that BAKUNAWA IS STOWING A WARMACHINE, is cause for speculation on who really built it, what their intentions were, what the hell Pangu and Syntax are, how Brevon has a robot in his command that is functionally near identical to something that can project a tangible dragon, lazers and all, etc. THE LORE IMPLICATIONS ARE TANTALIZING!

[@unclear6055]

I have to say, to have Syntax take control over Pangu (by extension Bakunawa) and fusing with it to form some sort of AI mastermind in control of a world ending spaceship makes for a really cool climactic final boss story wise. I just wish that the boss had as much work put into it as the Merga fight. That and a different ending to reflect on it would make for the perfect ending to FP2.

[@PrincessTwilightdash]

@@unclear6055well and that it’s still secretly following order from its “master”

Love the brevon lemofit

[@silverwinterwolf2064]

Brevon's "accidental" invasion left a huge sting on the planet, one that likely the world shant ever recover from, the change in the Kingdom Stone....which in turn lead to Merga's Release, and almost the destruction of the planet as a whole, no one could have forseen that Brevon's very arrival on this planet would set off a chain of events, and yet it did, which even now haunts the planet, the very THOUGHT of Brevon's name strikes fear into the hearts of many, including Lilac because of how much he tortured her, Meela as she was horrifically mutated into a monster and Carol as she almost gave up and watched her two best friends get broken down, Brevon....Easily one of the most villainous villains ever made in fiction.

[@AllExistenceItself]

Oh, look at that. I've been impaled.

[@nexs0me378]

Beginning at 1:26 of this music track, you can hear a part that comes from Brevon's Final Phase Boss theme when fighting him as Lilac or Carol in the first game.

[@galloviking4766]

Having played as Milla, you also hear it - even though it's during his power armor phase (she doesn't deal with phase 2).

[@beauwalker9820]

I am a huge sucker for musical callbacks. I almost teared up over the rocking title screen remix.

[@grayfox4819]

[@beauwalker9820]

I was kinda expecting Brevon to come back and pull a "Ganon," or Serpentine to take over, or something. I love the twist it's a villain you don't expect and they succeeded in turning a somewhat deadpan, comical, computer sidekick villain into a true, creepy, threat. You'll never look at this character the same again.

I thought lord brevon is no longer here in freedom planet 2 But It's okay

[@scottlil01]

This was such a superb true final boss. The attack speed in the second phase is absolutely wild, but it still feels fair. Definitely got spooked during the level itself though when I didn't notice that the gauge on the left had completely filled and I was suddenly impaled. Also, I think this boss is a bit glitched in the Battlesphere boss mode. Once you get to the second phase and it starts doing the Brevon attack sequence, it gets stuck charging the second attack of that sequence so, by that point, you've already won.

[@josh984gamer5]

Simply amazing. It sounds like something straight out of Shin Megami Tensei

[@user-ww1hh6tp9b]

A lot of people say that FP2 has got bad boss themes because of them being boring and having too low energy in them, but listening to THIS, I just cannot believe such people. This composition has everything it needs as a boss theme: it goes fast, it is hitting the bang, and, for some reason, giving a feeling of fighting something REALLY POWERFUL, but when I heard a part of Brevon boss theme and after that seen his hologram as one of Bakunawa Fusion's attacks... I just started crying, realising that we are fighting SYNTAX, the robot that was practically Brevon's right hand, and during the fight we are hearing the same music we heard while fighting Brevon himself... I... I need to replay this bossfight to feel IT again.

[@MoparNewport]

This and one or two other tracks are the exception. THIS is a banger final battle boss track, no question. The others? aside of Merga and Serpentine? Ya they fall flat. The only glaring fault in this otherwise glorious game.

[@user-ww1hh6tp9b]

@@MoparNewport Wait a minute, I dont think that all other boss themes are that bad. In my opinion, the worst boss soundtracks from the whole game are Boss Mega, Boss Major and BFF 2000 theme. These are very quiet, boring and unmemorable but all other boss melodies are still cool! For example, the music that plays when you encounter one of AAA's robots is very funny and... that's it ; the melody ' versus Askal ' has a lot of Chinese vibes and also you can hear the music of Magma Starscape in it ( the guitar section of Magma Starscape is unforgetable in my opinion ). The melody " versus Corazon " ( or " Broken family " in beta ) feels some kind of tragic and has a huge banger in it's second part ( actually, if you will carefully listen to Carol's theme, you can hear " versus Corazon " beat). Nearly every melody in FP2 feels much better if you listen to it out of the game context. Just try to, you'll see I'm right.

[@MoparNewport]

@@user-ww1hh6tp9b I have to disagree, insofar as the boss tracks go. Especially when compared FP1, most of the boss battles? They dont impart the sense of urgency, the sense of everything on the line. Merga's tunes and this tune, ya, it definitely matches the mood n setting; but compared to going head on to Brevon, it still lacks the punch. Still, the level tracks? They all are solid, as solid as FP1. I do wanna see FP2 release the soundtrack EP though!

[@user-wv2yd8zz3z]

@@MoparNewport ( I am still the same person, just using another account ) Okay, I think arguing with you is a trip to nowhere, so I just want to say that, in my opinion, boss tracks of FP2 are still good not because they impact something but because they somehow reflect the character you are fighting. As example, captain Kalaw's ( or Calaw's, I don't remember ) battle theme is very heroic and solemn, just as he is. Perhaps, perception of boss themes is only the matter of musical preference.

[@Gyrokun]

@@MoparNewport it's on bandcamp now

[@amigomorton5193]

Some people criticize, that FP1 had some unexpectedly dark moments, like with the interrogation scene, but I like to think "That's because Brevon was there." By having the scenes only getting overly sinister whenever Brevon enters the stage, it would set him apart from other antagonists Lilac & friends might encaunter in the future. You could even have this pattern, where everytime Brevon is the main Antagonist, somebody will die by his hand, last time, it was just an old man we didn't got to know, but next time, it could hit someone we grow fond of, who had a future ahead, who will be than gone forever. Shiver at the sight of Arktivus Brevon.

I really like this theme, but is it just me? Or does it feel like there's a _punch_ to the piece that isn't there? Has all the makings of a kickass theme, but isn't hitting like it should?

[@MrPeanut624]

I know exactly what you mean. The music doesn't have the same energy that the first game had. There's definitely moments of good music, but none of the fight tracks measure up to those like Prince Dail, Brevon's last stage, or even the major boss theme from FP1. Merga's three themes were almost disappointing when I heard them. I expected a build up to something more but it never came. It all left me wanting more.

[@its-amemegatron.9521]

@@MrPeanut624 The Opera Stage Bosses and Cory had the best themes

[@reginangel_official]

this is why i prefer FP1's boss themes over FP2's, but still FP2 has still kickass music (for area themes, several boss themes in it dont sound as kickass)

[@MoparNewport]

Quite frankly? None of the boss themes for FP2 hit anywhere near as hard as FP1. This one is the best of the lot, with Serp2 bein almost as good, and while Merga's battle themes certainly fit well, they dont have the raw power behind them FP1 did. Emotion yes, battle power, not quite.

[@catcocomics1601]

@@pjspriteanimations4905 you can get the all of the time capsules before even setting foot on the Bakunawa. I'd also argue that this actually does Merga a great service of character redemption and uhh no, some very *key* things change on the true ending, namely the revelation that Princess Cordelia is still alive so many years later. Oh yeah, and the normal ending doesn't explain how or why Lilac got knocked out in the end or why she was still on the Bakunawa when it crashed into the ocean. But I will agree it's a touch disappointing that most of the end cutscene remains unchanged, but I think they did it that way so that - regardless of your ending - they can keep the stage set for what ever Freedom Planet 3 does.

[@pjspriteanimations4905]

​@@catcocomics1601 I don't see it that way, Lilac was escaping with everyone so in the original ending they all escape when bakunawa already crashed into the ocean, that doesn't change. I, seeing the normal ending first, figured something must have happened to her when escaping. The issue is that Merga's character redemption undermines her character - she started everything because of her hatred for the earth dragons, but she was also in love with an earth dragon? Not to mention, if that's the case, I can't understand why upon seeing her once she decides to stop being the bad guy. Wouldn't her being "gone" imply she was mad partially because of losing her? Her final message should only enrage her more if anything. Also the revelation that Cordelia is alive did nothing for me because in this story specifically, she is nothing but a plot device (only amounts to arbitrarily stopping the main villain from her rampage with pretty contrived means at that) with a half-assed, most by-the-books love story you could come up with. Because of that, adding her to Merga did a disservice to Merga's character imo - because she was interesting because of her goals and motivations. Those goals and motivations got completely flipped upside down, and for ones much less interesting - now she's just reenacting revenge for a girl she fell in love with, instead of seeing hersellf as the last of the Water Dragons, and as such, someone who needed to make the earth dragons pay for the genocide of their people - making the extremes she drove herself to much more understandable. I guess losing a loved one could just be seen as an addition to her anger, but I can't imagine why being reminded of that loss would calm her down in such a case. No matter how I tried to look at it, Cordelia just made Merga less interesting and fascinating as a villain, by tacking onto her a generic love story that muddied things up instead of fleshing them out. Not to mention it was one told exclusively through text logs since they couldn't really make even more cutscenes. And I mean, it'd be crazy for them to do so, given the length of the game already - so I don't blame them for not making the presentation more interesting, but I am blaming them on making her such a disappointment of a character. She made a villain I liked less interesting, and led to an ending that took the spotlight away from Merga as the final boss, suddenly putting it onto a minor character and giving Merga the most rushed redemption possible. Or well, so are my thoughts at least - sorry for the long rant, lol

[@catcocomics1601]

@@pjspriteanimations4905 you did watch all the Time Capsule recordings... right? Cordelia isn't merely a one-note plot device; she had her own character arc, even if we only catch the summaries she recorded in the Time Capsules (and some of her expressions were kinda funny in those recordings). Ultimately Cordelia's recordings and the true ending help humanize Merga to be more than simply the "you killed my people, now I want revenge" trope. Even in spite of being created to be a living weapon, Cordelia's recordings teach us that Merga had real passions for ordinary things in life, such as horticulture - a funny detail that actually comes around back to a flowery book the Magister finds in his studies of the past (the book was most likely written by Merga herself). I do kinda wish they'd had something more to explain how exactly Cordelia and Merga went from being at extreme odds with each other to extremely close (unless somehow Revenge of the Siopao *was* that?), but I personally would've been a lot less satisfied if there was just the normal ending, even if only because I smelled the potential for multiple endings as early as the mid-game.

[@hildamarston4077]

Now this is a real final boss theme. In opinion it's way better than Lord Brevon's final battle song, this song gives that sense of fighting for everyone's lives, and save Avalice. This what i love about the final battle songs. That feeling of having reached the end of our journey, and be fully prepared to kick the villain's ass. Ah yeah! That's epic!!

[@beauwalker9820]

Brevon's fits more for him, as you're fighting a cruel, unrepentant, merciless villain. Meanwhile, in this you're fighting a rogue A.I. associated with the previous villain, gone mad without her master's influence or control, and with higher stakes. Both themes are awesome final boss themes.
