I ended up in the hospital at age 12 when i found out i was a diabetic, the PS2 and this game in the game room kept me going during those depressing times.
A final boss that cannot be beaten. Such an incredible idea that I have yet to experience in another game. Kojima better make something like this again, now that he is free of konami.
I know this is a three years late reply, but personally, I think Anubis doesn't qualify as the final boss. Viola and her Neith is. Viola and Leo have a personal conflict in the story of this game. Leo doesn't even know that Anubis existed until the end of the game. Anubis and its mysterious pilot are only there to set up the sequel, so obviously it can't be beaten in this game, but the main conflict of this game ends with Viola's death. And it is justified in-story. Like Viola said, the threat of an Orbital Frame depends on its runner. Leo at this point is just a kid who's just lucky enough to land in a super prototype robot that outclasses everything else, but it's still not at its full potential. Anubis, meanwhile, is a fully-upgraded Orbital Frame with an ace pilot at the cockpit. It takes another ace pilot Dingo taking Jehuty to its full potential to finalyl stand a chance agaisnt Anubis. ;)
Konami did make another game where a similar situation happened, though it still is kind of a win for the main character. The final boss couldn't be killed, they only rendered it unconscious via several blows to the head. It was Boktai, specifically part 2.
Ever since 2002, when I was 8 years old...the only 2 Games I was 100% purely obsessed with were Metal Gear Solid 2 and Zone of the Enders. Now I just beat Part 1 of Zone of the Enders HD Collection for PlayStation 3, I finally get to play 2nd Runner on April 2016. :) :D
I had both Metal Gear Solid 2 and Zone of the Enders after playing a demo of it in my Metal Gear case. My dad was always a big Metal Gear fan, but in 2003 he gave me the copy. Ever since then I've been rocking hard with Hideo Kojima games. Btw I'm 18 now, I was only 4 in 2002.
It should be this way in ZOE 2, you could hear his voice actually degrade to the point of insanity due to the corruption of his mind by piloting Anubis its similar to the ZOE Idolo anime's case
I remember getting this game for the PS2 and played it for days, laughed at the cockpit (giving a new meaning) where it was located. Very good game in my opinion much love for the 2nd runner as well.
I know that Anubis(Impossible) is the official soundtrack to this boss fight, but... The differences in the background music between 1:00 and 1:10. Wish that would've been on the game's OST.
o.o I never knew you could dodge him. ... and apparently you don't even have to. His attack did less and less damage every time. My health was just this TINY sliver, he attacks me, and it has no effect. I was also on Very Hard, so it can't be the difficulty letting me live.
I will NEVER forget fighting Anubis in this game I've never felt so helpless in a game in my life love the game but b4 pt2 was announced I was PISSED at the way this ended lol
I remember first playin this and was like this is why I bought the game. But it was cut short and he was unbeatable. This game and this scene made me want to design games. Thank you Konami! Anubis: Whats up, you finish!
In 2nd Runner you have frequent encounters with anubis but can damage him cannot beat him until you get zero shift sorta like quantalize for 00 Raiser in a sense
@Superbeast1370 he's announced that he's started putting together concepts for ZOE 3; like usual though Kojima has been balancing several projects at once over the past few years (MGS4, Peace Walker, Rising) and he's waiting till those are done to his standards before he begins work on it proper.
I live in the UK and I'm trying to find Zone of the Enders: The Second Runner but, I can't find cheaply because when I usually find it, its about £60. Can anyone help?
Yeah it's tough, but hey: ebay exists for a reason! Expect spending a good amount of money though, it's not cheap (i know, because i too want that game)
It's a bit of a lame final boss in my opinion. Even if it carries the story to two, you still want a final boss, not a dodging game, music is kick ass, and I like ZOE.
He actually said Metatron, named after high ranking angel in Jewish folklore. It’s the fictional substance used to build Orbital Frames in ZOE. It has the ability to compress space.
I think Anubis is beatable in this game because 1)if he was unbeatable he wouldn't have a lifebar. and 2)if you keep your health in the green you are still able to fight him. thats why I think its possible to beat him
In 2nd Runner you have frequent encounters with anubis but can damage him cannot beat him until you get zero shift sorta like quantalize for 00 Raiser in a sense

"You ordered all this!"
"No, not me...lol, jk, it was me."
Of course his first reaction is to compulsively lie for no reason. He is that kind of trash person.
I ended up in the hospital at age 12 when i found out i was a diabetic, the PS2 and this game in the game room kept me going during those depressing times.
This game is dark af to just have in a hospital lol
When the final boss theme is also the main theme, you can be sure he's gonna send you back to basics.
"That frame is another Jehuty. You two are not destined to meet yet". In other words, "you're fucked".
+James060394 Couldn't put it better myself.
James060394 Lol
"I can see the reason why my men couldn't beat you but here I am"
4:40 when you ask a robot out but she'd rather self destruct
A final boss that cannot be beaten. Such an incredible idea that I have yet to experience in another game. Kojima better make something like this again, now that he is free of konami.
Kojima didn't directed ZoE.
He was only the producer. so he had nothing to do with the story.
I know this is a three years late reply, but personally, I think Anubis doesn't qualify as the final boss. Viola and her Neith is. Viola and Leo have a personal conflict in the story of this game.

he can't be beaten i the second XD

How was it, Godzilla suit?
Agreed. ZOE was WAY ahead of its time.
Not quite, its an ability called Zero Shift. Anubis can compress the space between two points and travel through it. In essence, it's teleporting.
One of the best moments in gaming. final boss you can't defeat. the music was just epic as well :P
I miss Nohman's voice here. I like it way more than the one he had in the second game.
Much more professional and threatening lol
It should be this way in ZOE 2, you could hear his voice actually degrade to the point of insanity due to the corruption of his mind by piloting Anubis its similar to the ZOE Idolo anime's case
Metatron sickness.
I remember getting this game for the PS2 and played it for days, laughed at the cockpit (giving a new meaning) where it was located. Very good game in my opinion much love for the 2nd runner as well.
1:03 Never have I felt such primal fear.
My boy Nohman was already rockin' Zero Shift in the FIRST game. Badaaaaaaaaaass.
In any case, you will die, a farewell gift to Viola.
I still keep a saved game on the last Viola boss fight just so I can here this song.
I know that Anubis(Impossible) is the official soundtrack to this boss fight, but...
The differences in the background music between 1:00 and 1:10. Wish that would've been on the game's OST.
That difference is just to add intensity to the fight, knowing damn well you can't defeat this Nigga 😂
+AruShinichi I wish someone made an extended edit to make Impossible sound like this video
watching this video, such a nostalgia bomb...
o.o I never knew you could dodge him.
... and apparently you don't even have to. His attack did less and less damage every time. My health was just this TINY sliver, he attacks me, and it has no effect. I was also on Very Hard, so it can't be the difficulty letting me live.
Gotta love the guitar riff in the background. Too bad it isn't in the OST version of the song...
Anubis def has swagger in this game!!!
I will NEVER forget fighting Anubis in this game I've never felt so helpless in a game in my life love the game but b4 pt2 was announced I was PISSED at the way this ended lol
Man.. Great Game ahead of its time.
Jeramy Jahn's Doom Eternal review brought me here. XD
What part of the video
@@slayerquanta5546 Around the 9:30 mark of his review.
I remember first playin this and was like this is why I bought the game. But it was cut short and he was unbeatable. This game and this scene made me want to design games. Thank you Konami!
Anubis: Whats up, you finish!
*PTSD intensifies*
In 2nd Runner you have frequent encounters with anubis but can damage him cannot beat him until you get zero shift sorta like quantalize for 00 Raiser in a sense
What's the theme? The "impossible" Anubis theme isn't this
This is a special arrangement of "Impossible" made specifically for this fight. It was never released.
@@DamonWolf2392 Sucks.
“Anubis! The world! Time has stopped!”
1:55
I love the music on this game
Even so, defeating Anubis with Zero Shift is horribly spectacular :D
Does Jehuty look like Metal Gear Ray ? Or is it just me ?
It’s not just you.
Same company. Sooo..... yes.
Wait..... LEO?! You mean the kid in Zone of the Enders 2?!
I looked on the website recently and it said they didn't have it. Arrr!!! But thanks for helping.
god i can't wait for the HD return of this game and number 2 that comes out in April
Hideo is GENIUS
You *can* actually damage him, I've done it before...but it's nothing major, maybe about 1% max
@@haggiss Yes you can.
Up to around 25%-50% i believe w8th high enough skill
with what? You can throw anything at him as theres nothing around you
and your spin attack or your energy ball dont work.
@@hunteranubis Sometimes the game lets you sneak a hit in. Usually the sword slash.
@Superbeast1370 he's announced that he's started putting together concepts for ZOE 3; like usual though Kojima has been balancing several projects at once over the past few years (MGS4, Peace Walker, Rising) and he's waiting till those are done to his standards before he begins work on it proper.
so is this the 1st ZOE?
i luv the soundtrack i failed at this boss i dint know wut to do when i was 9 years old but now i am 13.
it's megaman piloting a giant robot...awesome
Y yo desde 2003 aún sigo esperando Zone Of The Enders 3 😪
Oh yeah this ending made me want more. Sadly I have never played the sequel. Yet.
You should! He's much more scary in the sequel
I live in the UK and I'm trying to find Zone of the Enders: The Second Runner but, I can't find cheaply because when I usually find it, its about £60. Can anyone help?
is it also extremely where you are from?
Greets T
@JPkenshin123 it can't be done. Even through using cheats and glitching the game so that Jehuty can't be hurt Anubis cannot be beaten.
@str00py He's invincible isn't he?
And to think Anubis isn't full active yet, due to the wing motif.
I was so pissed to find out that it was a really short game. Spiderman 3:the game is longer than this!!! But this game is superior.
@Geekreg Hit him? yes, beat him? No. So why risk dying if you cant win?
@agent136 Shame ive never seen Gurren Lagaan, but whatevs =P
he looks and acts like simon from gurren llagan
its a shame i never played this I love mech games
@str00py You need ZeroShift!
@rocksolidjh that doesnt mean that the other dude is dead --.--
What's the point of giving Anubis a health bar if you can't even scratch him?
well now we now it will comes out on autum for play3 and xbox360.
Hey, that evil guy sounds a lot like Maester Kinoc from Final Fantasy X...
when i first saw him and his moves i shit myself..i hated how it ended though it was in a cliffhanger
No, because Jehuty didnt have Zero Shift :P and then when he got it BOOM they are the same power, all depends on your own skill to kill him
Nope, you can't beat him.
I've even tried it once with a cheat so that Jehuty stayed on full heath but still you lose the battle.
Yeah it's tough, but hey: ebay exists for a reason! Expect spending a good amount of money though, it's not cheap (i know, because i too want that game)
Why I feel like this game is a Xenosaga Sidestory ?
@Kdot0084
Lol, he replied to a 2 year old comment, that's hilarious.
PS2 or HD Collection?
Z.O.E. kicks ass. Kojima better make Zone of The Enders 3 after MGS4.
I have some bad news for you...
lol this was his chance, he fucked up
ok i ment to say extremely rare.
i bought the second part yesterday but it's already sold out agean haha
I've got 2nd Runner now. I got it for £21.
thats how bad ass anubis is, you can beat him even with cheats
Longest 15 seconds of my life
I'm from the UK.
Damnit Anubis, hold still so the player can hit you! Isn't there anyway to damage Anubis?
is anubis a hidden final boss? or this is the real ending?
Real ending... and the boss isn't meant to be beaten. That is the purpose of the second game more or less.
1st time I thought it was time to beat this guy's ass...Just another fiinal boss...*beats my ass* Damn...wtf just happened?!
To be fair, I personally hate Leo. Dingo made ZOE II for me.
can you beat him~!?
music?
"Anubis (Impossible)"
LOL maybe once! 🚁
i led it , i have part 1 but yesterday i dicided to but part 2 when i saw it ^^ 29,99Euro xD
It's a bit of a lame final boss in my opinion.
Even if it carries the story to two, you still want a final boss, not a dodging game, music is kick ass, and I like ZOE.
lol did I hear megatron ref? lol
He actually said Metatron, named after high ranking angel in Jewish folklore. It’s the fictional substance used to build Orbital Frames in ZOE. It has the ability to compress space.
indo ya????
I think Anubis is beatable in this game because 1)if he was unbeatable he wouldn't have a lifebar. and 2)if you keep your health in the green you are still able to fight him. thats why I think its possible to beat him
in indonesia
it's only 0,6 dollar
Anubis that you can't defeat the boss
ADA:that frame is another Jehuty Leo:that's not enough ADA!Damn pc bitch.this is why people didn't like microsoft in 2001
In 2nd Runner you have frequent encounters with anubis but can damage him cannot beat him until you get zero shift sorta like quantalize for 00 Raiser in a sense
