Ok so obviously this song fits extremely well for this fight, but can we talk about how even lyrics wise this song fits FFXVI extremely well, especially the bridge where (FFXVI spoilers btw) it goes: Up where the mountains meet the heavens above (Bahamut/Titan lost) Out where the lightning splits the sea (Barnabas fight where Odin literally splits the sea) I could swear there is someone somewhere watching me (Ultima watching Clive throughout the whole game) Through the wind and the chill and the rain (Benedikta and her powers) And the storm and the flood (Cid and his powers) I can feel his approach like a fire in my blood (Ifrit's powers)

I’ve played most of the FF games and I can say with certainty that FF16 (this game) slaps hard. A couple of flaws with side quests but the story, characters, soundtrack and ESPECIALLY the boss fights are all superb. Solid 8 or 9/10 game
Your choice to start the music with the drop of the blade is S tier. You clearly know what you're doing with editing. Really good eye/ear for this. It's not just that but this song and the part you picked works super well Cool idea + great execution you love to see it

@@greggski3710 For the sidequests, you’re boiling it down to what it isn’t is, I could say your favorite game is just “push a stick, press some buttons, win” and while that would be true it wouldn’t address any actual depth within, and read my earlier comment for what that depth is (especially in the slave girl quest from moore). With the combat, I love games that focus on one or two aspects and perfect those systems instead of putting a ton of random bloated systems and mini games that feel like wastes of time. There is not a single aspect of the 16’s gameplay that I could look at and say “that was unneeded” as I do with 99% of games especially modern ones.
@luxen3863 Then the title is wrong. The artwork for the Bonnie Tyler single uses Holding Out for a Hero, and the Wikipedia article even says the song is erroneously called I Need a Hero
I have no context, and no idea why any of this seems to matter so much and be so weighty... But goddamn that song hits this so perfectly, and gives me literal chills and elevates the entire thing from Epic, to whatever is beyond Epic. :o
“That’s right, I have risen beyond above normal saiyan limits and into the realm of legend. The legend that you fear… The legend known throughout the universe is the most powerful warrior to ever exist.”
This is probably the second-best use of "Holding Out For a Hero" with a videogame I've seen. Considering the other one is the "Rescue your homies" ending of Saints Row 3, that's pretty high praise.
If you didn't tell me this was edited, I'd believe you if you told me this was the actual soundtrack. The timing of all the money moments match perfectly as though this fight was directed using the song.
This guy was playing and thinking "damn... this would sound really good with that shrek movie song", i don't know why, but i find the tought terribly funny
Oooh I got the chills right here 1:22. It was perfect. Edit: all of it was perfect. Tbh it would be awesome if you made a music video using this song to highlight the best parts (mainly the boss fights) of Final Fantasy 16.

Really good, my ass, the timing is practically impeccable.
In terms of QTE prompts, “Accept the truth” is pretty sweet. Up there with “Protect Earth” from Wonderful 101 and “End It” from Asura’s Wrath
Unlike the wonderful 101 remastered (yes, I have it), this game doesn't cost me a 50-inch TV and a ps4 controller
F for respect
"Sora"
Special mention to Asura's Wrath for also having "Extend arm"
inFamous2’s “Let Go” is pretty good too
The music fits so freaking well especially the build up to the Double Ifrit fight

I'm convinced game developers sometimes make their animations to "I Need a Hero" just for the heck of it
every game requires a "I need a hero" moment somewhere.

“more heat less foam”

This moment at 2:11 where he starts moving towards Ifrit and the music goes like "Up where the mountains meet the heavens above" gave me shivers.
"WHERE THE LIGHTNING SPLITS THE SEA"

POV: When the anime villain thinks he's the MC and can do whatever
