I think my favorite part of this fight is that it breaks JRPG archetype of benched characters never getting screen time. Even games that try to mitigate this like Persona where benched characters still get EXP so they never fall behind and you can swap them in at any time if you need it still feels like you're only ever at half strength. What's the point of having 8 playable characters when only 4 are ever on screen at the same time? But in Octopath, it feels like a FULL, 100% team effort. One half of the team is fighting the battle downstairs, which is equally just as important as the one being fought upstairs. All 8 are fighting together, and instead being *told*, you *see* it in an actual fight you control, not just a cutscene. And God help you if you neglected any of your party members, and God is dead except the one you're fighting so you're SOL.
Ah, a fellow Alpharad enjoyer, I see. For those unsure of the joke, when Alpharad obtained a ground type in a randomizer, this was playing in the background.
Como loca buscando, y, ¡mira! Qué bien que lo hayas subido. Estoy muy contenta. Si es que, además, acabo de escribir la letra en mi cuaderno, ¡¡bien bien !! Ahora, a practicar el sólo. ¡Vamos allá! Jeje algo puedo, la verdad. Muchas gracias. Mila esker.
It does have meaning. You found the final challenge and earned the ultimate battle after a grueling endurance round of fights you couldn't save between. This is your reward for having played well. You don't need a narrative to define your gameplay experience do you?
Personally, this is the theme I would use for Grogar. The reason being, he's known as the Father of Monsters and gave life to the foulest of creatures to run wild and let them take what they want and destroy everything else. And if I'm not wrong, one of the foulest creatures he gave life to was Chrysalis, which would make her his daughter. Therefore, the theme, Daughter of the Dark God, would fit him. Edit: Part of this was a delusional statement I made before looking up who would really be Grogar's daughter. I won't pretend it didn't make me stupid.
@@kylestubbs8867 Sounds pretty cool and interesting, in my opinion. It is a disappointment that Grogar was some cheap imitation in MLP Season 9, as opposed to the real Grogar.
@@ilan8468 Well... actually it is not. It is meant to resemble Latin, and some words are indeed latin words, but most of it is gibberish and the lyrics do not have real meaning. But it's still one of the best final boss themes ever.
@@ash8244 it depends. It needs to be subtle. One Winged Angel is an example of vocals done right. The final boss fight of Trails in the sky SC is another. The music in the Shantae games is an example of it being done very, very wrong. That song that plays during the first stage of Half Genie Hero is about as cringe as it gets.
This man gave us One Winged Angel Rebirth too
Really?
@@yotambraunshtein9786 yeah, this man collaborate with other composer on Final Fantasy 7 Remake
Now comes the thousand thorn god

The sequel takes another step further for the final phase and starts playing like the mobile game
@@Antasma1 Having 8 characters fixes so many issues with the battle system. I don't know why they don't just make it the default.
Also Miitopia doing this thing and i love it
"a ground type,finally something to combat all of Bianca's electric legendaries"
A ground type, finally something to counter elesas team
Totally on topic comment.
Based either ways!

@@Demi-Joker REAL Alphaheads know this is implictly Naomi's theme from the CPUCS
@@austinfletchermusic God, it's been so long since I watched CPUCS
THIS... this is a song befitting a final boss...
1:49
_He of steel and fire,_
_Gods denied his rapture,_
_World shall know his ire,_
_Power he shall capture._
這真是我聽過最史詩級的頭目戰bgm,愛死了！

Sube el cover xd
@@ismliral6679 Ya me gustaría... Pero no me atrevo jajaja
Sólo se quedan conmigo las grabaciones jajaja :)
@@sisisibbel Imagínate y en una de esas te sale bien y el cover queda épico xd.
@@xd-px5ne Yo creo que puedo hacerlo jj pero no soy de subir nada, y si subo algo, será algo ajeno a lo que haga jj :) pero thanks so much!
Sube el cover igual y es épico xd
Buena traduccion ,me encanta ese tema final contra galdera ,es epico!!!!
4:04 se que no tiene traducción pero para mi siempre dirá "Que aquí converjan
,que aquí perezcan. Sientan el poder de un dioooos"
Wow must have been hard spelling all the word's good job 👏
Galdera: "Wanna see me be completely busted and unfair?"
*returns in Octopath 2*
"Wanna see me do it again?"
The language kind of reminds me of "The Greatest Jubilee" from Bayonetta
U know it’s gonna be a good fight when this starts playing in one piece DnD
1:27
0:00 through 0:07 sounds like Destati from Kingdom Hearts…
this soundtrack would be better if it had meaning. still. the finale of this game is the best part by far! loved it
It does have meaning in Latin tho?
@@Krysta267 no. it's just random latin words that sound epic
@@Krysta267 Nishiki himself said it was made up language.
It really it’s like NieR autómata soundtrack i doesn’t have a meaning and it’s a masterpiece

Filthy Brony.
@@mxqi9858 Dude, don't call me filthy. I was only explaining my reason as to why I'd use this song as a custom theme for Grogar.
I _have_ imagined an MLP version of this game… with the _real_ Grogar as its final boss, not some cheap imitation.
@@kylestubbs8867 Sounds pretty cool and interesting, in my opinion. It is a disappointment that Grogar was some cheap imitation in MLP Season 9, as opposed to the real Grogar.
You could have added the translation from latin as well, but great work!
I have a feeling that this isn't real latin tho.
Paul J. Morton it is

It's not actually latin, these are just their atemps at transcribing the lyrics. in actuality they're mostly nonsense
People on reddit have at least partially transcribed it (properly) and translated it. The lyrics are relevant to the game.
what language is that ?
Fake latin
@@rootythe best language for cool music 😱
It's just random noises, no languages at all tho
Where is Octopath Traveler 2 version its so much better.
Could do without the lyrics but not bad. Not a fan of lyrics in my game music unless it's very subtle.
Awful take. This song is god tier.
You probably somehow hate Persona music because Persona loves it's vocals
