I was confused and felt blueballed by the "fake ending" but the game slapped me in the face the actual ending sequence. Was so good it gave me huge goosebumps and made me tear up a little. I can safely say this surpassed Cocolia for me.
Wildfire was the last gasp of a world that was dying. A resurgence of a guttering flame, rekindled by hope. Hope is the thing with feathers is a defiance of fate, a slap in the face of Order. "No, we won't dream.endlessly in this curated space where nothing changes and things are safe. Life is just as much the pain as it is the pleasure... if you take one away, that's no longer 'life'." Why does life slumber? Because we aren't yet ready to take that final step on the grand adventure after death.
True, I was kinda pissed off when Jing Yuan and Dan Heng IL came out of nowhere, stealing the thunder... Glad it was the whole astral crews rised up to the end
Welt: "Those imprisoned in their dream are awakening for Freedom." Robin: "Brother... The weakness of humanity cannot be redeemed by others." Himeko: "Witness... the will of the weak!" Dan Heng: "You have a noble soul... Don't be shackled by the past!" March 7th: "Even if the future is full of pain... we won't escape from it!"
This, is the truth of the Path of Trailblaze. Offering a hand to anyone in need. Even an enemy... especially a man who is doing the wrong thing for the right reasons. "We rise together. As our destiny unfolds. We face the darkness and our trials are yet untold."
Dan Heng's EN version absolutely didn't make sense to me -- "Is he talking about the souls in Penacony?" -- until I read a translation of the JP version and realized that Dan Heng was addressing Sunday and telling the latter to not give into the darkness that formed in his noble heart.
On the first day, grant Truth On the second day, grant the Calendar On the third day, grant Language On the fourth day, grant Value On the fifth day, grant Rules On the sixth day, grant Meaning On the seventh day, grant Dignity
IMO what makes Hope is the Thing with Feathers work so well is that it is just so *aggressively* positive and upbeat, to the point that it’s infectious and irresistible Prior to that moment we’d been listening to Sunday/Septimus yapping on and on about Order and Harmony and yada yada yada for like, at least 20 straight minutes And then Robin shows up out of nowhere like “no shut up that’s dumb, this is our world” and then Septimus gets run over by a train It’s impossible to not get hyped up, even if it’s in a vastly different way than e.g. Wildfire
Not true imo, Robins song does not invoke any hype. Its TOO positive and generic. I would've preferred they stick with the more opressive music in the first phases, regardless of story
"Why is my sister named Rose?" "Oh that's because your mom love Rose" "Oh i see thank you" "Your welcome 50K SPECIAL Harmonious Choir: The Great Septimus Boss Theme (Definitive) - Honkai: Star Rail 2.2 OST"
I love how most of Star Rail's boss themes are just so grand that it reflects the scale of what we're actually fighting literally and figuratively. Just listening to it will already tell you you're facing someone/something many times bigger than you.
Especially Sunday here. The High Priest of the Family of Harmony seized/possessed one of the Emanators of Harmony, becoming a demigod. Then, becoming the last/first Emanator of Order? He was NOT kidding with his whole 'becoming a god' motif. Dude even started talking about the seven days of creation.
My most well liked line, "If your path can save more people, sever my path with your hand." It really shows Sunday's will to save others. He won't tell you that his way is the right one, he is only asking to prove him wrong by giving a better way. But until then, he will continue his path.
I love that despite Sunday’s extremely distorted view of reality, he still wants what’s best for Penacony at the end of the day and wants to give the player a chance He’s filled with the power of Order after all, he could probably obliterate us with a thought, but that would just reinforce the notion that Order is a tyrant that crushes dissent
@@Kayriel Sunday wasn't an emanator. The emanator is Septimus manifesting itself through Sunday. In a sense, Harmony doesn't have permanent emanators. They kinda borrow the status for a while
@@adriantepes4355a person that can summon the power of an Emanator is, in all senses and purposes, an Emanator. I mean, if it looks like a duck, behaves like a duck, and quacks like a duck, it is a duck.
@longps9528 technically speaking, the Ten Stonehearts would fit as emanators if we go by that definition. However, they are explicitly distinct from the emanator of Preservation, whom of which they borrow their power. In fact, Sunday taking the form of Septimus is much more akin to the relationship between the stonehearts Diamond, rather than Sunday being any sort of emanator himself.
This is the kind of experience i'm willing to pay money for. As long as they can keep bringing us this level of quality with the storytelling, beautiful music, each epic moment, the laughter and tears and just sheer emotion with it all... Thousands of dollars and absolutely worth every penny of it. Can't really say the same for Western games tho. *Cough* Ubisoft *Cough*.
i will forever continue to yap about the golden hour theme being partially used for this because its such a cool thing that game developers do!! using a recurring theme in the game for a boss (I guess golden hour isn't really recurring but Golden Hour is what i associate the surface of penacony with, Hollow Knight is a great game that does something like this though! Many many boss osts are reminiscent of the menu theme)
It's even cooler considering that the Golden Hour is described as the Moment where it never becomes tomorrow, it's forever right before midnight (or something like that, I don't remember the exact quote). This "eternal happiness" is literally Sunday's ideal and the reason why he did what he did. Edit: The Penacony Grand Theater OST (City Upon a Hill) also has the same Golden Hour motif and is directly connected to Sunday through - well, not only the fact that it's the location of the boss fight - but it's also the OST used in Aventurine's character demo where he's being questioned by Sunday while under the Harmony (/ Order?) curse.
The Golden Hour is probably the area you frequent the most in Penacony, so it's the closest thing to a recurring theme there is, and I liked that detail too.
The choral arrangement of the Golden Hour theme at the beginning of the fight is absolutely beautiful. It truly says: "This is it. This is a battle for Penacony itself. Prove that you can win."
It's surprising that after all these years of eldritch god monsters being the final boss of RPGs, I don't think any of them have ever been fought to an uplifting pop idol song before. It's nice, and wierdly subversive? The closest I can think of was another game called Stella Glow back on the 3ds, but that was more of a traditional anime opening-styled song.
The only other games I can think of like that are Splatoon (negative for eldritch horrors but positive for idol songs) and also Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion/Turnip Boy Robs a Bank All of which are fantastic games and every time the peppy idol song really seals the feeling of “this is a victory lap, your enemy has already lost”
meanwhile, at Ubisoft "I swear on Games..." "I swear on Expansions..." "I swear on DLC..." "I swear on Microtransactions..." "I swear on Loot Boxes..." "I swear on Battle Passes..." "I swear on NFTs..." "Your divine wallet will become the foundation of our prosperity!"
I really wonder how they will do better than Penacony, this story was just pure perfection and 10/10 for me, everything was perfect: story, plot twists, characters, musics, etc
don't forget that people used to say they wouldn't do any better than Belobog and Wildfire, yet here we are, gentlemen, I don't think these are flukes, I think it's okay to expect even better or at least on the same level, of course, this all depends on personal opinion.
Part of it is due to players emotional connection to the game, so a way I think they could do better is (theorycrafting) in the next world or sometime soon we find out about March 7th's backstory/memories and the boss of the area has some connection to her (heck it could turn out that March is evil and she turns out to be the boss)
The first time I tried this fight, I thought I could cheat through it with Aventurine's Shields, but eventually got overwhelmed in the second stage. But the second time, I realized that that was literally against the philosophy of the battle, relying on one person to generate Shield, when the party should've been working together to generate it through attacking the boss... The fact that that narrative, the idea that you need the party to work together in *harmony* to overcome an overwhelming *order,* and it's *baked into the gameplay;* I can barely put into words. This was an incredibly designed boss, both visually and conceptually. I had to *Walk In The Light,* and could no longer *conceal my schemes.* 🎉
Why?? Everything happened so quick in SU It's either we killed Sunday less than 3 minutes or be killed by Sunday less than 3 minutes Echo of War is the best for Boss Battle
There are so many nuances in this song you can’t even hear if you’re not using headphones. Like holy god i just plugged my senheisers in and there’s so many details i never heard before. The clocks ticking being the biggest one.
Endwalker vibes. Fighting the Endsinger, representing the entropic death of the universe. She's throwing planets at you, collapsing reality. Her music is playing hard. Then phase change, basically ultimate limit break... the track changes to With Hearts Aligned/Maker's Ruin, OUR boss music. And the tide turns against her.
I was expecting this OST to be "A Beautiful Song" level (from Nier Automata). My expectations were absolutely blown. Hoyo never dissapoints with their music.
If Cocolia was pure hype, this was pure joy. When the OST hit on the Chorus I felt that I was there fighting with my team on the Finale of an anime. This really reminds me of HI3 Legion Theatre arc with finale for Everlasting Flames.
It's so cheesy but I absolutely love it. It's like Guren Lagan where someone is trying to restrict humanity so it doesn't destroy itself but we're here proving that we'll be fine because we are the train that drills through the cosmos!
The performances of the VAs, the cutscenes and the boss fights cemented my love for the Penacony arc and this game as a whole. There are only a handful of RPGs I would consider my absolute favorites such as the Xenoblade trilogy and Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door and Honkai: Star Rail is without a doubt one of them.
Penacony leitmotif White Night leitmotif which are both the main themes of the update can be found within this final peak boss fight One shows the grandness of the Order, and the Other shows the beauty of Harmony
It's criminal they didn't include the overture version in the Echo of War. It gave that final fight a lot more 'shifting momentum' vibe... from the orchestral choir of Order, to the hopeful pop of Harmony.
They kinda fumbled the Echo of War music ngl, phase 1 should've been Infirma Nostri and shifts to Symphony No. 8 ' A Thousand Suns' during phase 2, and then halfway through phase 2 Hope is the Thing With Feathers (Overture) plays. And phase 3 is just as it is
The whole fight's OST reminded me of how they executed Vita / Sa Boss Fight on Honkai Impact 3rd with the same choir-like theme that makes you feel fighting a being of High Order aside from them being a God on their own fields / territory. And yes, this is actually quite similar to Herrscher of Dominance boss fight in a way with the same setting of battlefield being in a theatre, Sasuga Shaoji-sama (just don't let him cook or else he'll kill someone for real LMAO).
is it just me who is the only one called him "God of Music"? Just look at him, he had some backup that looked like Angels or Lesser Angels to back him up. The weird thing is where the final phase, where there's a FUCKEN GODDESS aid him in battle! It wasn't the puppet, IT"S EMA HERSELF!!!
Yet, the real world relies upon the set of rules which dictate certain restrictions, thus ensuring one can remain free and independent by creating order everyone has to adhere to. Quite ironically, thank god we live by rule of law, and not by hoping the strong would be kind. As much as I love Robin, she's far too idealistic.
Order was necessary when everything was chaos - shown by the fact that the Order Aeon was Akavili the Trailblaze's friend. But order can evolve into harmony.
One of my top fave boss themes! Flawless. The intro before we begin the fight with Sunday gave me Nier Automata vibes with all the puppets strung together.
Sunday theme goes hard I don't even bother listening to his sister part bruh but its cool that they added melody touches from his sis since shes an idol. But his theme is just perfect it really depicts divinity!
1:53 i just noticed (a part from the fact this song is FIRE) is this is the same ost as the one in Aventurine's character teaser where the order was dominating the video (When Sunday was trying to read Aventurine's past)- and Aventurine basically rejects it with the ending "f it, we ball"
Ngl, I feel like symphony No. 8 and infirma norstri corporis should be flipped in play order, as the symphony’s start sounds like the beginning while it’s end also sounds like it’s paving the way for the next movement.

When they said that the IPC was backing out from claiming Penacony thats when I knew something ain't right. Thats like America giving up on oil.

Robin: "Brother... The weakness of humanity cannot be redeemed by others."
Himeko: "Witness... the will of the weak!"
Dan Heng: "You have a noble soul... Don't be shackled by the past!"
March 7th: "Even if the future is full of pain... we won't escape from it!"

"We rise together. As our destiny unfolds. We face the darkness and our trials are yet untold."
March's voice lines sounds very ominous now that I look at it.
Simply reading it definitely strips away the intent on that one

There are only a handful of RPGs I would consider my absolute favorites such as the Xenoblade trilogy and Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door and Honkai: Star Rail is without a doubt one of them.
The first time this game gave me goosebumps when against Cocolia, never though that this game would give me a goosebumps again
Penacony leitmotif
White Night leitmotif
which are both the main themes of the update
can be found within this final peak boss fight
One shows the grandness of the Order, and the Other shows the beauty of Harmony
It's criminal they didn't include the overture version in the Echo of War. It gave that final fight a lot more 'shifting momentum' vibe... from the orchestral choir of Order, to the hopeful pop of Harmony.
They kinda fumbled the Echo of War music ngl, phase 1 should've been Infirma Nostri and shifts to Symphony No. 8 ' A Thousand Suns' during phase 2, and then halfway through phase 2 Hope is the Thing With Feathers (Overture) plays. And phase 3 is just as it is
진짜 게임하면서 오랜만에 소름 돋았음
“DISORDERLY NOISE!!!”
why is … nobody resonating(
Ok who thought it would be a good idea to put Electric Guitars in an orchestra house. Because hell they can and it's cool af🔥🔥🔥🔥
The whole fight's OST reminded me of how they executed Vita / Sa Boss Fight on Honkai Impact 3rd with the same choir-like theme that makes you feel fighting a being of High Order aside from them being a God on their own fields / territory.
And yes, this is actually quite similar to Herrscher of Dominance boss fight in a way with the same setting of battlefield being in a theatre, Sasuga Shaoji-sama (just don't let him cook or else he'll kill someone for real LMAO).
That's probably the reason Himeko had the "Dream"
I am glad i avoid all spoiler to get into this. Never ever feel goosebumps when Robin start singing
I wonder what Sunday's trailer will sound like
I hope sunday no die
I hope he becomes playable one day
I hope he becomes a playable character, definitely not harmony, but maybe the hunt or erudition
SPOILERS!!!
: he becomes a stellaron hunter after imprisonment
@@meowzers-fi8fy I meaaaaannn
up to this point Stellaron hunters are becoming playable soooo
SPOILERS
After falling he contracts ligma and sadly dies
The piano solo at the end broke the dam 😢
It’s just… so peak… 😭
Congrats on 50k!!! Thank you for always uploading HSR bgms~ Hoping to see more of your growth and more bgms to discover
Man, I rly wish they still said the voice lines when you fight this boss as a weekly. I really need to hear himeko's "THIS! IS THE WILL OF THE WEAK!"
Penacony's first and last disharmony
Great job getting 50k and I can't get the idea out of my head that Pom Pom driving the Express 1000 MPH into Sunday during the fight
This OST so majestic 😭
Pom pom:HERE COMES THE ASTRAL EXPRESS
Sunday:OH FUDGE
That last part felt like a mashup between this song and A Million Dreams/From Now On in The Greatest Showman
my favourite part of the song is where Sunday shouts out "DISORDERLY NOISE"
Chorus 1 ( Overture ) 4:49 / Chorus 2 ( Overture ) 5:49
6:31 best one😭🥰
Chorus 1 7:46 / Chorus 2 8:46 / before the final chorus 9:17, Final Chorus 9:46
Can we talk about the fact that Sunday did the Otto pose at 0:06
They're so tiny, I couldn't see a thing
@@emd4682that’s cause the timeframe is wrong. It’s more at 0:04
Good lord the last one never fails to make me cry
Sunday is actually a very likeable "Bad guy".
He's not a villain he's misguided
WITNESS, THE WILL OF THE WEAK!
You did a really great job blending the themes together!
Sunday: *exists*
MY BABY BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY-
Witness.
The boot of the hill
is it just me who is the only one called him "God of Music"? Just look at him, he had some backup that looked like Angels or Lesser Angels to back him up. The weird thing is where the final phase, where there's a FUCKEN GODDESS aid him in battle! It wasn't the puppet, IT"S EMA HERSELF!!!
10:30 this scene and the ost playing will always be special to me
god this bossfight is so fucking hype, the overture kicks in and your team gets healed is awesome
I can not stop crying...
Let's go!
HEAD UP!THE WHEELS ARE SPINNIG ACROSS THE PLAINS IN VALLEY DEEPS
Despite being a gacha game this is one of the most well constructed and downright HYPE bosses i've ever seen.
50k?? let's gooo
SUNDAY MEWING WITH THIS ONE 🔥🔥🔥🔥
그 쥰나 멀리서 어렴풋이 들리는 극장 브금도 그렇고 이렇게 웅장한 합창곡에도 페나코니 메인브금 멜로디 끼워넣는거 너무좋음ㅜㅜ
Order brings peace through restrictions, but harmony brings peace through unison,
Peace form from people willing to follow, not forced apon.
Yet, the real world relies upon the set of rules which dictate certain restrictions, thus ensuring one can remain free and independent by creating order everyone has to adhere to.
Quite ironically, thank god we live by rule of law, and not by hoping the strong would be kind. As much as I love Robin, she's far too idealistic.
that's why harmony ate order
Order was necessary when everything was chaos - shown by the fact that the Order Aeon was Akavili the Trailblaze's friend. But order can evolve into harmony.
One of my top fave boss themes! Flawless. The intro before we begin the fight with Sunday gave me Nier Automata vibes with all the puppets strung together.
Hoyo and electric guitars 😩🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I get chills every time i hear this song
Sunday theme goes hard I don't even bother listening to his sister part bruh but its cool that they added melody touches from his sis since shes an idol. But his theme is just perfect it really depicts divinity!
This boss wrecked my ass for 3 weeks, i have been humbled.
1:53 i just noticed (a part from the fact this song is FIRE) is this is the same ost as the one in Aventurine's character teaser where the order was dominating the video (When Sunday was trying to read Aventurine's past)- and Aventurine basically rejects it with the ending "f it, we ball"
FROM BREAK AND RUIN THE MOST BEAUTIFUL PERFORMANCE BEGINS‼‼🔥🔥🔥🔥
Robin's song may not be to my taste, but god damn did it go hard during the fight itself.
When the music gives us 2 aeons fighting via vibes, you know it hits diff
Thanks for the assist, Pom-Pom!
Congrats on 50k!!
It's So Brilliant Yet Comical That The Astral Express Is A Stratagem In This Climatic Battle
Robin basically said: "Bro, your music sucks"
Vtuber over classical music bro
Thank you for this, Pom pomಥ‿ಥ
Give me "Dancing Mad" vibes.
Imagine if western AAA studios put in 10% of this effort into the soundtrack
Vibe of this boss theme in final part to me is so similar to the vibe of chorus of the song «Grand Escape» from movie «Weathering With You»
6:24 Caelus looks sooooooo goooddddd here omg TT my baby angel
Came back here to say... PLAYABLE SUNDAY IS REAL GUYSS
Ngl, I feel like symphony No. 8 and infirma norstri corporis should be flipped in play order, as the symphony’s start sounds like the beginning while it’s end also sounds like it’s paving the way for the next movement.
GZ for 50k!
Awesome song
