I love how this song is so dark and edgy at first, then there's that little bit of heroic trumpet in there. He really believes he's the savior in all of this.
Man, the guy's like a storm! and he's coming right at Clive! ....It's almost like he's APPROACHING him! This storm that's heading towards Clive! ....if only there was a way to phrase that better :I
I like how there are several callbacks to the original Norse mythology in this song. The twain (Archaic word for two) On 10 feet run (Sleipnir has 8 feet and Odin has 2, obviously) Three eyes and one trained upon victory (Sleipnir's 2 and Odin's 1, and Odin is also-among other things- the Norse God of Victory) Foreseen (He sacrificed one of his eyes for the power to see the future) With steel (God of Battle) Darkness comes (He decides when it's your turn to either join him in the Hall of Valor or be cast down to Helheim, a realm of eternal frost & darkness.)
Without any context, the music at 1:30 alongside those visuals of this great infernal beast diving to take hold of a falling knight would have most people completely incorrect on who the villian is here. Especially in FF given the previous game's role for Ifrit
Lol theres also the tendency of japan that loves giving darkness/devil related powers to the MCs either in animes or games which also boosts what you're saying
I was going to BEAT HIS ASS INTO THE GROUND if he killed my dog. Same reaction I had when Benedikta kicked him in the middle of her fight. NO ONE FUCKS WITH MY BOY
Cloud and Sephiroth aren't rivals tho They just hate each other Sephiroth only had one actual rival from crisis core and it was Genesis Clive and Barnabas are rushed rivals
@@S1EEPLES5I think Hugo is built up as more of a rival to Clive story wise. Barnabas is just set to be an obstacle for him to overcome to face ultima, but Hugo is a way more personal fight to him.
I love how the opening sounds like Cecil's Red Wings from FFIV but instead of being reflective and melancholy it repeats the same notes unflinchingly until the next mad section begins. Cecil was a Dark Knight who still had his humanity. Barnabas is fully resolute and will never change his path.
This shit was so bonkers the second time around on final fantasy mode, the entire Odin run is just so well done I didn't appreciate it the first time around because it was so easy but that second time WHEW SO MUCH FIGHTING ALL OF THE FIGHTING THE FIGHTING JUST NEVER ENDS IT IS BY FAR THE MOST EXHAUSTING PORTION IN A GOOD WAY the game really prepares you for it, it's cool lore wise too since you basically take on the army yourself (with Joshua) similar to what Odin did when he first took ash I just appreciate it the more I dig into it, this game still got me fucked up lol
Same for me. I remember being upset I didn’t get to do a full eikon battle against Odin, but when I got to the arc on FF mode, I appreciated it so much more.
I had always thought the tantalizing kiss of self indulgence a dream forever out of reach! And now that it's sweet ruin courses through my veins~ I shall not be quick not relinquish it... SHOW ME YOUR WORTH MYTHOS, THAT I MIGHT REVEL IN IT!!
This song was way more badass than i expected it to be, especially considering the difficulty increase here since odin was actually a tough fight, which i greatly appreciate
I think the word “train” shud be “tail”. The name of the song and the lyrics come from Saga of Hervor and Heidrek in which Odin asked Heidrek to solve the riddles. One of them was “Who are the two who have ten feet, three eyes, and one tail?” The answer is Odin himself riding Sleipnir - 8-legged horse. Odin has one eye + 2 of the horses so that “3 eyes.”
While this is true “tail upon victory” doesn’t really make sense. Neither does the “three eyes and one” line I suppose, but that’s what happens when you can’t fit a word in without breaking the flow of the lyrics.
@@Timebomb_19 definitely not “upon victory” either though, the word in between tail and victory is something i cannot make out. Also, with an exception of the first time, i definitely heard Darkness casts - not darkness comes - the s and t sound at the end are pretty clear. Just need to wait until official lyrics come I guess.
@@FurryWulfz I know that, but “and one” has no context, when it specifically refers to his tail in the original text. If you read it as “and one, trained upon victory” then I guess, but it doesn’t sound like that to me during the lyrics context.
4:55 Did his eikon go akashic at the end of his attack? I noticed that his eikonic form was fading fast near the end but wow that's kinda scary if it's true
Thats basically how Barnabas was able to use Odin with 0 side effects during most of his life. At some point he himself turned akashic but was able to keep control of his body bc of his powers.
@@potatopotatochalalala4901he’s 70 years old when you fight him. He’s been Akashaic since he was 40 years old. So yes, he has been Akashaic for a long time. His religious cult worshipped Ultima as its god.
I would really have loved a proper ifrit gameplay segment for Odin. the playable cutscenes are cool but ifrit gameplay is so fun and there's so little of it
@@alpho789 i'm a little conflicted honestly. Cuz barnabas using odin situationally and in short bursts is a really cool fighting style. As he says to Jill, "blessed with power and you use it as a crutch". He can beat ass without fighting as an eikon. He just sometimes swaps to eikon mode when it's beneficial. Which is awesome But man i just wanna slap him as ifrit too even if that diminishes the prior quality
Hard disagree. Being locked into playing as a slow behemoth fighting damage sponges got old insanely fast. I didn't even like it when fighting Titan Lost.
@@algorometrikus9380since he can summon multiple egi’s with ease, I’d say it shouldn’t be tough for Odin to do 2 judgement cuts, one from each sword. He never goes all out in this fight since his purpose was to intentionally give his power to Mewthos.
God, what a waste of an awesome character. Halbard too. When you first see that meeting between Dhalmekia and the Kingdom of Waleod just after Kupka faces off with Jill, it's so exciting for the intrigue ahead only for Ultima to stink up the joint.
The reason they didn’t make full Ifrit vs Odin is because nothing survives from Zatetsuken by full prime Odin and it wouldn’t be feasible to make a fight that you get killed by a single hit
About game play, Zantetsuken Sound effect was so loud and noisy. Music volume lowerd over and over again. That is the only one dissapoint thing of Odin battle.

Thats just soken for you🤩
Odin has an amazing theme. Glad he’s got the Vergil treatment for the eikons.
It’s really awesome how the beginning is the same leitmotif as ultimas. Really shows how much of a worshipper he is and how he is a soldier for ultima
Couldn’t have said it better. Dude’d be the FF Vergil if he wasn’t fixed by the code.
Motivated dominant

Show me your worth, Mythos... THAT I MIGHT REVEL IN IT!
Stop calling me mythos
The voice actor nailed that delivery.
Did anyone else freak out at 2:00 thinking Torgal died for a moment?
Yep that was me. “He better not have f***ing killed the dog” were the exact words that came out of my mouth at that point in the fight
I was going to BEAT HIS ASS INTO THE GROUND if he killed my dog. Same reaction I had when Benedikta kicked him in the middle of her fight.
NO ONE FUCKS WITH MY BOY
After seeing him walking up after the Titan fight like nothing had happened, I became convinced that Torgal is unkillable.
@@bucketOfPenguin He *is* FFXVI's Fenrir, after all
Kinda wish he DID kill Torgal
I like, how in true FF fashion, the main characters bitter rival, is set to a March
Cloud and Sephiroth
Clive and Odin
Cloud and Sephiroth aren't rivals tho
They just hate each other
Sephiroth only had one actual rival from crisis core and it was Genesis
Clive and Barnabas are rushed rivals

@@skidzzthewiz9226 yeah as much as I loved FF16 Clive's rival thing was rushed
I won't think anyone in this thread used the word "rival" right.

Manic, delirious, delusional. Perfect existentialist boss theme.

I feel exactly the same I’m doing my final fantasy mode run and I was like damn I did not realize how good this was
I think this is the only version on youtube without volume drops. Thank you!
This channel is the best for all the FFXVI OST's. The Bahamut theme has a similar issue where on all the channels it has volume drops.
I had always thought the tantalizing kiss of self indulgence a dream forever out of reach!
And now that it's sweet ruin courses through my veins~ I shall not be quick not relinquish it...
SHOW ME YOUR WORTH MYTHOS, THAT I MIGHT REVEL IN IT!!
Odin’s boss theme is awesome. It’s one of my favourite out of all the Eikons boss themes.
NOW THIS IS WHAT A BATTLE OF WILLPOWERS SOUNDS LIKE!!!
The twain, on 10 feet run. 3 eyes and 1 trained upon victory, foreseen. With steel, a skill check comes!
Odin in FF7 Rebirth be like
This song was way more badass than i expected it to be, especially considering the difficulty increase here since odin was actually a tough fight, which i greatly appreciate
0:56 my favorite part
That and those violins at 1:06 to 1:18. Sounds very threatening
I think the word “train” shud be “tail”. The name of the song and the lyrics come from Saga of Hervor and Heidrek in which Odin asked Heidrek to solve the riddles.

@@milamanteThe official lyrics are:
"The twain
On then feet run
Three eyes and one
Trained upon victory
Foreseen
With steel, darkness comes!"
@@Timebomb_19 Well in Norse, Odin has a single eye, and Sleipnir, his horse, has two eyes. So three eyes, one trained upon victory, which is Odin.
@@FurryWulfz I know that, but “and one” has no context, when it specifically refers to his tail in the original text. If you read it as “and one, trained upon victory” then I guess, but it doesn’t sound like that to me during the lyrics context.
Never Heard the Version with that „darkness comes“ in the beginning. That Sounds incredible
Ohayo Garland! Now you are Odin, quite an impressive improvement!
Love the edits on this to perfectly time the emotion of the battle and theme
The best boss fight in the game, they just did the dmc5 Vergil battle but more epic and impactful
This is literally the dmc3 fight on the tower. The first fight between Dante and Vergil
4:55

Jk
@@Onishirothere are so few of those fights that you really have to be jaded to get bored from just 2 or 3.

Vergil vs Odin
Bro have judgement cut with two swords
@@algorometrikus9380since he can summon multiple egi’s with ease, I’d say it shouldn’t be tough for Odin to do 2 judgement cuts, one from each sword.

Thank you for the lyrics
Best fight ost of ff16

That Ifrit Zantetsuken is a callback to Seifer's Reverse Zantetsuken.
