I really felt intense emotions for him at times but could never hate the guy. The absolute loyalty his subordinates had towards him, the emperor just letting him do whatever he wanted - stuff like this just felt a bit off. With CS4, we now know why. What a glorious bastard. I really loved Osborne as a villain before, but now I also heavily respect him as a character. There's simply nobody else in the series with nerves & will of steel like this guy.
@@Averi0 If only every S-craft was as nicely animated as Rean's second one in ToCS IV (I feel the dev. team thought they had to give him something a little special after having him lead four games in a row). I know the protagonist of Kuro no Kiseki is male but would it hurt to have a female character be the lead again? That said, there are some strong female characters in the game from what I've seen (Judith, Elaine and Shizuna among others). I hope Laura and Sara get to have cameos again as they were pretty tough characters from the Sen no Kiseki titles.
Gotta agree with you there. Osborne has been developed over not one or two, but SIX games! Second to Olivert, who has been in all but one of them. Osborne has interacted with the protagonists of each series. Osborne has been involved in the countries EACH game took place in. Like, GEEZ, he's practically a PROTAGONIST in terms of screentime, if it wasn't for his lack of playability/his motives.
This may sound strange, but I'm going to miss both Osborne and Ishmelga moving forward in the series, both were great villains for entirely different reasons, and I really hope someone can take their places
When you think about it, Osborne put Rean through hell, yes, but it was all so Rean would be the one to put an end to the curse for good. It felt like he made himself a villain for that sake.
Everything he did to Rean, Erabonia, Crossbell, and what he was prepared to do to Calvard. All of it was in the name of a massive all or nothing gambit to take down Ishmelga and the Curse of Erabonia with it. Rean himself being setup by Osborne to become the winning move for that gambit. What a madlad.
reminds me of how in bleach spoilers ahead beware Sosuke Aizen pretty much set it up so ichigo could become strong enough to fight him simply to have a adversary strong enough to go all-out against him with his newly acquired power
The final battle song against Osborne or should I say the legendary Emperor Drecisles the Lionheart reincarnation. This is truly a song that fits a 1000 years curse that was recreated in a global version of the war of the Lions. It truly is a fitting end to a great and very enjoyable character giliath obsorne a true villain who nearly brought the world no who did bring the world to its knees. Even forced Ouro to splinter. That is a true feat no one could do.
@@lucca9234 Kinda letdown since I really wanted a political villain as he fitted perfectly that role after all the build up since 3rd and Crossbell games but at least he went down fighting like a badass.
Mr. Tyrant and I kinda like the idea of him being a man who would literally bring the world to its knees and go up against the curse itself for his son
Ah, yes, i can still hear AkantoreX murdering Alatreon with Charge blade... I never even played this game or any of the games but goddamn this soundtrack is amazing!
I command you as Dreichels Reise Arnor he who build your foundation Strike at me with everything you have! Show me the depth of your will Thor’s class Vll !
I fought Ozzie on Hard and lemme tell you, you need ALL the Zeram items you can get. Use a buff? Atropos Blade is his counter. Have a reflect? Conqueror’s Sovereignty wipes it all out. And I HATE that move being used against me.
Man really? After beating so many LoH games, I defined my personal rule of play at least on Hard, every new game. I burned healing items on that fight. And Ishimelga was insanely hard. (I even played Bizon CS2 and SoftBrilliant CS3 difficulty mods, and believe me, it's worth it)
Anyone know which specific track the section starting at around 4:58 comes from (or is first used)? It's been used here and there, but I can't pinpoint it. In any case, the difference between this section and the others make it really feel like both a conversation between Osborne and Rean, as well as the fight between the end of the world and the small ray of hope. A fitting end for one of the most outwardly complex (but simple motivation-wise) villains in gaming.
Now I can set aside my matters with mah dad once and for all!! *S-Craft* ......oh right, I have 16 min more or less to keep fighting, well it'll be worth with this background ost *sees the CP bar gone to 0* dayum I just HAD to use up my cp in the very beginning, this will be tough....
too bad Osborne is nearly a joke Divine knight battle against him, however, made me want to hang myself upside down (At the end I just said "fuck it" and used bp items and rekt him)
Finally thanks for uploading this just need the divine knight Osborne battle theme now. Gotta say though as good as this theme is it pales in comparison to E.O.V. from cold steel 2. At least it's better then cold steel 3's final boss theme.
Major spoilers follow. I never really liked Osborne, not even at the end. I seriously disliked Claire except for a brief moment of CS3, so I looked forward to beating him and humiliating her for her loyalty; I wanted to free Lechter from his influence after seeing his adorable rooftop scene in Sky 3rd; I felt what Rean did when he asked Osborne what Crow died for. I couldn't bring myself to respect him for his choices as a father, not when Teo Schwarzer almost died for Ymir during one of Osborne's stupid gambits. I wanted to kill him in the Workshop to avenge Olivert. To have him basically throw himself at Class VII's mercy at the end, after we'd fought the Radiant Blademaster and a true Demon, after we'd kicked some satisfying sense into little Cedric, after we'd finally brought back Crow... was a sorry thing, indeed. Alberich, on the other hand, was an AMAZING enemy. Wish we'd had more. I don't even like Alisa, but an insane immortal alchemist that possesses his apprentices is badass. English voiceover was also better, at least after they recast Osborne to a weaker actor.
You completely misunderstood Osborne. He sacrificed everything to save Rean and this whole plan was to rid Erebonia of the curse forever. Someone had to play the villain or else Ishmelga would win. Claire's loyalty is understandable. He told each of the Ironbloods his name. He is the guy who built the foundation of their world..... Someone they all aspire to.

....Kinda pushing it on the OST front, but Osborne does get plenty of development. I'll grant you that.
Me by the end of Cold Steel 3: "FUCK YOU OSBORNE!!!!"
Me by the end of Cold Steel 4: "I dont know what to feel now....."
Me by the time I fight Ozzie: Dude’s got guts to take on ALL of Class VII.
We are DEFINITELY fighting a legend.
Still Fuck You Osborne, fuck you for the tears you asshole.

Basically my response too.
Cold Steel 4 is finally coming to the West.
*Majestic Roar intensifies*
The greatest troll in the trails series ever Ladies and gentlemen. The one and only Gillie boy .

This may sound strange, but I'm going to miss both Osborne and Ishmelga moving forward in the series, both were great villains for entirely different reasons, and I really hope someone can take their places
Osbourne nearly got 9 games to build-up after all
What i truly love is just how Meta Osborne's actions were.
@@narius_jaden215 im afraid I don't quite know what that means
@@celica9288 it means his actions where "Metal" "insane" he Annexed so many countires and wanted to have 1vAll of Zemuria
Well, the Grandmaster and Ouroboros is the main antagonist. Also Hajimari no kiseki's antagonist may surprise you in a good way.
Love how at 0:48 you feel like a ray of hope just to be reminded that you just have ONE last man to take down to make this hope true
Yes Founder! Yes your majesty!
Yes, Sir!
Yes, Your Majesty!
This music is brimming with resolution. I can feel it even though i haven't play Sen IV.
Your love it even more when you find out that they put part from the others final bosses form the other 3 games
Finally! I was in deep need of this masterpiece.

My blood boils with excitement! Black Lion's Roar!
Black Lion Roar!!! 🔥🔥🔥💯
*nods in approval*
This way better than E.O.V, the way this music builds up is impeccable and the amount of emotion this has tells you this is osborne and rean's fight.
Yeah no this theme is good but E.O.V is far better.
Both of them are ear worms IMO, it really just depends on the mood. E.O.V is a jam and, Majestic roar is just a slightly slower jam, ya’know?
Man i love this song
