    This whole fight against Odin is the perfect love letter to Devil May Cry fans. You don't fight him as your Eikon, the final arena in the rain is just like the one at the top of Temen-ni-gru, his attacks are just like Vergil's, and best of all he becomes MOTIVATED.

      If I had a penny for every time a game helmed by Naoki Yoshida had a battle hungry boss that loudly proclaims how he wants to REVEL in it, I'd have two pennies, which isn't a lot but it's a fun coincidence that it happened twice.

      I like how he stays behind the helmet, but you don't have to imagine too hard to consider just how wide and twisted a grin Barnabas probably has on his face when he says that line. His eyes are probably wide and bloodshot too.
      His semi-demonic voice really helps sell it too, plus the fact that he goes all DBZ with the power aura.

      I was kind of lukewarm regarding him as someone so freakishly strong he beat Clive twice without difficulty. Even though this is a proper one on one where Clive gets the advantage with newly imbedded powers of Shiva, I was still not sold on him.
      These lines though? It was the first time I gave a proper excited “oh shit.” Possibly my favorite voiced lines of the game.

He's arguably more threatening not doing giant sweeps back and forth, but as he is in human form (like where he pulls out a second blade in his human form).

    I like how David Menkin (Barnabas) has a North American accent IRL and you can hear that with Malos in Xenoblade 2 where the cast is otherwise full of British voice actors, but he is actually originally from Norway and that his accent was just very developed, so it sounds like he tapped into the voice of his earlier days speaking English for the role of the major Norse deity’s Dominant. Especially since Barnabas is mentioned to not even be of Ash, so giving him an approximate yet foreign quality that adds to him.

    Barnabas got to be one of the most unexpected plot twist considering what we theorised on him.
    We thought of him as some great composed sephirothesque warlord with some goal of Darwinist freedom where eikons could rule the world.
    Turns out it’s the exact opposite, he is but a clinically insane slave without will who just became complacent with his role and strength, accepting his role and fate out of loneliness and boredom with his only serotonin being the challenge that was promised to him. He is the strongest dominant but the « weakest » at the same time.
    We thought Dion would be the religious meta slave but turns out it’s his nemesis
    Kinda depressing ( not disappointing tho ) villain to be honest. Would like to learn more on him though.

    The move at 20:30 when Odin reaches full power that's called:"Woden Worhte Weos", is a line of the Maxims I, an Old English poem. In this line, the God Odin is described in constrasted with the Christian's God and the line in particular means: Woden (Odin in old english, one of the over 170 name that he has in history) wrought idols, perhaps implying his primacy over the other gods.

    Barnabas really fights like no other Dominant, the way he goes in and out of various previously unseen stages of Priming is incredibly impressive, and it's like he can semi-Prime to a state where he can concentrate Odin's full power without having to sacrifice speed or go into the huge form and make a big target of himself, he shows amazing control of his Eikon, like he IS Odin. It may not be the big Eikon Vs.

The Eikon of Odin wasn't really the main thing that made Barnabas so strong, it was the black blade paired with his masterful swordsmanship that was regarded as the best in all of Valisthea that made him so OP, so the fact the we straight up whooped his ass while just using sword and no eikon just goes to show you how badass Clive is.

    If there's ever a new dissidia game, I'd rather have him as the Chaos rep for FFXVI rather than Ultima.

But instead of Zemus being Chaos rep for FF4, it's Golbez(the character he's been controlling). I can see them doing smthn similar with having Barnabas instead for FF16 rep

    I kept hearing that the Barnabas fight was so disappointing. Now that I've actually done it, I feel like I couldn't disagree more. I think it was one of the most intense and aesthetically cool boss fights in the game. Sure, we didn't get a full Odin and Ifrit fight, but honestly, I didn't mind. Despite all the spectacle, I kind of thought Titan and Bahamut were a bit TOO over the top and took too long to complete. The Barnabas fight lasted just long enough, and his descent into deeper madness over the course of the fight was truly unsettling.
    I think the Benedikta fight is still my favorite boss in the game, but Barnabas might well be a close second.

    But can someone explain how during the final phase the player was able to use the LB attacks outside of LB?

    Last phase he has pretty much become zenos becuse it seems like he is happy to finally find a worthy opponent especially when he says his heart is beating fast filling him with joy.

    I like how Barnabas is being portrayed as cold and composed person throughout the game, but in this fight, especially from 15:37 onward, he shows us how insane he can be.

      The design of many bosses and invocationsin this game is largely inspired of different japanese mangas/anime renowned for magic and large creatures. Garuda and "Odin" look like two of the Abyssals in Claymore (Lucilla of the South and Easly of the North) whereas Ifrit form is also quite similar to Nosferatu Zodd from Berserk seinen.
