I did on hearing Idola The Strange Fruits. Didn't expect to hear it. Didn't play PS4 til I was older, and still never got to PD then. This song is definitely a love letter to the oldschool fans. 2 PD songs to make a 3rd
Fucking Pollux from episode 3 was a nightmare. This song gives me nightmares from summer of 2003 and staying up countless nights getting destroyed.. good times
When the phase 3 theme hits it is the final push against a threat. When the main theme of a game plays during the final boss fight is shows a glimmer of hope against a powerful enemy. that is what I feel during that part of this fight.
Whenever I listen to this while working on something else, the part where it moves into the piano intro of Strange Fruits at 7:14, my brain always seems to expect a cheer like it's a live concert or something and I have no idea why!
Ive heard this song so much when doing solo PDs and i still love it, Probly never gonna get tired of it :P I never played pso1 back in the day (recently have played it on ephinea) but i did listen to the ost and i love how pso2 has remixes from that games songs too. Rose confession as victory song too for this fight :P
my sountrack nerd is having an eargasm as i just found that if you synch this one with the one from CARD revolution they never desynch! they have the same tempo!
Not really. They probably just wanted to remix another them for this fight. I think the theme choice was mostly an artistic decision, and not only a lore decision.
ikagura apparently dark falz is like a virus you can keep beating it but it keeps coming back stronger with new forms and abilities. At least that was the lore in episode 1 and 2 for pso
In the case of Profound Darkness in PSO2, it's more complicated than that. Profound Darkness is stuck in a time loop, when Profound Darkness gets weakened, its host resurfaces and uses his ability to go back in time to when Profound Darkness was revived. Since the organization the player belongs to hasn't found a way to fully defeat it, being stuck in a time loop makes it so the organization has time to come up with a way to defeat it for good.
I'm sure the og fans lost their shit when they heard Ooze and Strange Fruits during this fight.
F-O-R S-U-R-E! Ooze was a awesome bgm from phantasy star. got hyped with it hahahaha!
I did

You better believe it.
I know I did that nostalgia hit HARD
PROFOUND DARKNESS ULTRA HARD DIFFICULTY LETS GO
NEW 15 STARS DROP FROM IT AND THE NEW AWAKE REAR
I still remember when the EQ launched and recognised the original PD theme from PSIV in my first run.

That last part is called "the whole new world" and i get what you mean, best part in every bosses falz fights in pso2

Okay, the implications of Stage 2.
The Great Shadow could have eventually given birth to the Profound Darkness in PSO1...
Good thing the Hunter and the Arkz stopped it before it would come to fruition.

Same here, heard it alot when running solo PD and it's still one of my favourite boss themes in the game, together with Dark Falz Loser.
Pso1 might be slower and clunkier compared to the most recent games but it is still a mythical game
Ikr? Compared to PSO1, This game is a embarrassment in so many ways.. (Looking at you Episode 4)
@@tonyknighton4019 PSO2 has been a bit better for Episode 5 and Episode 6 is back to the rails
@@ikagura That's Great! Can't wait to play them!

I love this fight so much! so much emotion in it.
The one dislike is the Holy Light.
Indeed.
But does it even exist in this universe?
@@tonyknighton4019 I dunno, the one light-based boss I can remember wanted to destroy and rebuild the Earth.
@@millgiass Eh close enough I guess?
@@millgiass your probably talking about Deus Esca who is only related to the profound darkness via the small amount of F factor it absorbed
Holy Light needs to stop hating and start getting some better music then.
1:11 - 1:18; frigging love it!!
I loved beating that abomination in Phantasy star 4
How does it feel fighting this Version in PSO2?
@@tonyknighton4019 I didn't have the chance to do this EQ in PSO2... But it's like having the entire team going for it and not just 4 people.
@@ikagura That's True.
@@ikagura 5, but yeah you're right.
@@tonyknighton4019 Didn't have to be 5, nobody was forcing Chaz to take anyone else into the Abyss ;p
The last part of this song sounds like music from the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe soundtrack
8:43 Awesome
This music for all dogfighters
Does Idola the Strange Fruit playing confirm that Amplum Umbra is PSO's PD (or PD-related)?
Not really. They probably just wanted to remix another them for this fight.
I think the theme choice was mostly an artistic decision, and not only a lore decision.
This should be fun.
Bring it On XD
Thank
Is this possible to fight that boss again even if Episode 5 is out?
ikagura Yeah, it's a random emergency quest (sometimes scheduled too).
ezodagrom I wondee how they'll justify that in the canon/lore
It's...complicated... but there is an explanation for the repeated fights.

Bad mixing sad
A shame.
