MisterIceTeaPeach Posted August 5, 2020 Author Share Posted August 5, 2020 (edited) I think it's a decent theme, but if you have to take into account that field themes in Ys are usually very fast and catchy, I can see the complaint. Still not every final boss theme can be as phenomenal as this: Spoiler Ao final boss spoiler Edited August 5, 2020 by Julian Teehee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, okay, I can agree with that. That would indeed be better. --- How's this for a disappointing final boss theme? 's like my one complaint with the soundtrack in that game. The battle themes (with one exception) lack that certain something that makes them memorable or fitting for the mood. ---And meanwhile, I'm sitting here thinking Gust makes the best OSTs...

Spoiler Friggin' BUDDHA. A final boss like that deserves better, imo. Good thing you can override it with the Emiya theme if you picked Archer (which is exactly what I did, because of course.

MisterIceTeaPeach Posted August 5, 2020 Author Share Posted August 5, 2020 (Boss) battle themes are the most important musical themes in RPGs for me because they are still the hardest challenge of a videogame. I need a good combination of a theme which doesn't distract me but also motivates me at the same time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely. There exist themes that I hum along to in order to get into the rhythm of the fight. There's even one I sometimes sing along to. Which always makes me happy that I can't be heard by strangers, because my singing voice is... not the greatest. XD 12 minutes ago, Julian Teehee said: It's sad that the best song from P5 was replaced in Royal just by an instrumental version: Actually, that applies to vanilla P5, as well. You don't get to hear the version with lyrics until the second to last dungeon (and of course the beginning segment of the game). Unless of course you never hear the version with lyrics in Royal, in which case I look like an idiot right now... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XD I read that in the original version, after a certain amount of health has been chipped away, that cap gets lowered to 6,999. Yeah they really look serene and gorgeous overall, like this one. The original version... sucks, getting around without a speed function is tedious, damage is capped too low, of course this is my opinion, but traveling too slow can be a thing in games.

I could have sworn the vocals version was played in the first dungeon in the part putting the calling card on the boss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I'm aware, the instrumental version plays for every dungeon except the last two.

The other one just kind of... exists. It doesn't give a vibe of "Hey, this is a life or death battle!". The CCC one is much better in this regard. In my opinion, at least.

They always have very eye catching graphics when it comes to that. Speed up is convenient for a lot of reasons, and yes, grinding is #1 when it comes to that! yep-yep.

Master Arts worked like this: You get a one time huge buff + a Field wide buff in cost of a huge cast time and EP cost Today i realized i had zero idea what the fuck Master Arts were. I then booted up a save state from before the final boss and checked my Arts. Only Lloyd and Rixia had Master Arts (Fire and Illusion respectivly). No but really, i did not know what Master Arts were before today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acacia Sgt Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 Tsk, just about any war I wage now in AtEFF increases Threat level by the dozens. On the other hand, I'm quite powerful now... maybe I should just go "screw it", and just continue to expand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
