There’s no denying that werewolf mecha combination is badass, but I feel like they missed an opportunity to go hard on Fafnir myth from Scandinavian mythology and make him a dragon. It fits too well. Edit: Well I suppose I didn’t think this through. They went the Wolf of Wall Street Route. Which, considering the corpo thematic of Vandelay, fits 100 times better.
What did Fafnir have to do with dragons? It’s been a while so maybe I’ve forgotten something, but other than his brother being a serpent I don’t remember anything that connects the two
@@erazure. you’re referring to the wolf Fenrir. Son of Loki, the one who tore off Tyr’s arm and is fated to kill Odin when Ragnarok comes. Fafnir was a dwarf, who because of Loki’s shenanigans came to possess cursed gold. Because of the gold, and since dwarves were already a bit greedy to begin with, Fafnir turned into a dragon, the very symbol of greed. I like the fact that half of Scandinavian myths happened because Loki was bored.
Wow roquefort's wolf thing looks really cool really hope no one makes questionable art of him edit: omg 988 likes thx i guess another hecking edit: yes i know, its the internet, of course they will do it
Fun fact about this guys model: the werewolf isn't a separate model. The asset is all one piece, and I... Honestly need to know how it works out of engine.
It just dawned on me after 2 months that his breath attack is a reference to the 3 little piggies nursery rhyme where the wolf blows their houses down. God, this game is so good!
Yeah. They seem to have one soundtrack for streaming mode (so the game can be streamed without hitting copywrite/licencing issues) and one for standard gameplay. It's a pretty clever way of getting some access to licenced tracks without paying further royalties for it's distribution for broadcasting through streamer services. Which is why pop songs are usually named such, they are selected tracks that are provided to radio stations that they get paid for every time it's used on a program. That's why Maria Ciery gets a massive pay out every Christmas, given that "All I want for Christmas is you" is played practically constantly. XD
The frustrating thing is, everybody knows that nobody is coming to watch a videogame boss fight to listen to a song, so they aren't losing any sales by allowing videos of licensed songs in videogames on UA-cam. And everybody *with a brain* knows that it would be good advertising for artists. But some people are just greedy and stupid, and their greed outpaces their intelligence.
The internet ruined stuff like that lol anyone that has a animal transformation is automatically a furry or it’s their fursona or some deviant art saying lol 😂
@@darkk_darkk Considering the whole 'disturbing the neighbors' line, I think the devs knew EXACTLY what the players would think of Roquefort's transformation.
i like the possible thought of Roquefort not only asking for a mecha body in order to stay alive, but specifically a giant furry werewolf mecha body bc there's no way Kale was the one to come up with that idea
"This is a waste of time, which is money, and I'm not gonna waste any more of that!" -Roquefort before smashing his expensive desk, a window, and a MASSIVE vault door that could NOT have been cheap even though he could have easily broken none of those.
Can we all agree that the fact that even the fucking transformation from man to werewolf is on beat! This games rhythm is amazing everything is on a beat!
I appreciated the fakeout when you get to the room, with all the robots on display. I got there and thought it was gonna be a bunch of waves of minibosses to get through, but instead they sank into the ground and we got the loup-garou mechaccountant.
You are not the first to notice it. I also noticed that too when I first saw this boss battle. The feeling was SO not appropriate for the situation…. 3X
It's called technology my dude. That's why it manage to fit all inside of him. I'm also questioning how is this possible, but it's actually just technology.
To be honest this fight was TERRIFYING on my first runthrough. Mechanical arms? A normal tuesday. A full mech suit that is double the size of normal bosses in this game? You know shits getting real. Roquefort *towers* over every other boss in the game (I mean, when he’s in his suit. He’s pretty tiny otherwise) and especially chai - for crying out loud, look at 4:54! His *arm* is bigger than you! I don’t know about anyone else, but when the game asks me to take on a boss who is that ginormous, I tend to get a bit scared for how much I can reasonably take on. On top of that, you the player is not the only one who is feeling this anxiety and dread about this fight; chai is too, which given his fairly optimistic and jokester nature hits pretty hard. The scene at 8:36 shows it the most in my opinion - Roquefort, taunting chai, says something along the lines of “wow, you think you can win”. We the player expect chai to retort with one of his multitude of dumb jokes (“well now she’s number done” “that’s shocking” etc) but instead he responds with no words and a face that, though determined to win, doesn’t *contradict* or try to *argue* against Roquefort’s tease. Chai, very uncharacteristically may I add, is (if only shown for a brief second) coming to terms with the fact that there’s a good chance he does not win this fight. As I said before, chai is often very positive and optimistic, so this honestly made my heart race. Edit because I realized another thing! Chai is always shown as incredibly spry and agile - as an example, the very first time we see his character (the opening “beacon” animated cutscene) chai jumps, runs, and parkours his way through the crowd in order to access project Armstrong. In the cutscene as the group is trying to power up the l.i.f.t., he is shown in a similar fashion, jumping into the air and slamming the guitar down on enemies. All this reinforces chai as someone who is (at least typically, but we’ll get to that in a second) acrobatic in fighting and movement. However, once again returning to the scene at 8:40 shows us a chai who visually presents many of the signature attributes usually common to people who are tired/lazy/etc; in other words, people who are not acrobatic and lithe, or at least are not such at the moment. Chai is very visibly slightly hunched, which is an automatic shorthand for “tired” in our minds. Adding on to this, he utters no words excepting a small sigh (or maybe it’s just a breath? Either way, I believe my point still stands) which typically conveys boredom and - more important to this discussion - exhaust. His hair, which is always pretty frazzled, is now used in this moment to further construct this exhausted appearance. Chais mouth is also slightly open and he is slightly breathing; while this does not outright convey tiredness, I find it important to note as it does show he is exerted, and in this scene that demonstration continues to set the stage that chai is in over his head with this fight (yknow, more than usual). As a final few details: chais scarf, which is mostly seen flying behind him in a “heroic” look (for example, it does this on his portrait and in some cutscenes), is simply laying behind him, dull and lifeless; chais eyebrows are scrunching up his face, making it seem weaker, though they are still angled, making him look determined; finally, his eyes themselves are closed more than usual (once again I am comparing this to chais usual character portrait, his eyes are more open then), conveying tiredness, pain, and that something is wrong/different about him to the player. The point that I making with this overanalyzing of literally one face is that the game uses many visual and auditory shorthands to convey that chai is not doing too well in this battle against Roquefort, and not only that this is apparent to us the player and to Roquefort, but also to chai himself. This creates a pretty serious tone for a game where you smack people with a guitar, as chais uncharacteristic actions create fear for an already terrified player. Shoutout to the gold for letting chai win when he would probably not have. Thank you gold ❤
the only thing i hated from this boss fight was the rythm section at the very end because i play knm so i got very confused on the left or right clicks and had to change to controller for that end section
