Genuinely can't believe this update was a YEAR ago. Feels like just yesterday updating MHR on the Switch for the update.. A bit silly feeling nostalgic for something that happened so recently..
@@draw2death421 am I tone deaf or is the theme didn't have the yukumo motif? I really hoped amatsu gets a remix ala world zin/ala/fata with their respective gen/village motif but I suppose not....
@@draw2death421 while I very much enjoyed Amatsu arena I also love the hot springs arena and the team did a great job at adding new stuff to fit the fight. I also wouldn't have minded if the arena was instead Kageros city ruins just to add that extra feeling of fighting a monster that is responsible for turning a once beautiful city full of life to emptiness
Something I love that is a wonderful touch in this hunt in particular is the old collection sound. I was grinning ear to ear when I heard the classic jingle when I carved Amatsu afterwards. Wonderful hunt, probably my favorite addition to the game so far.
Agreed. Tho im conflicted. On one hand a great fight and the refrences aswell as visuals are great! On the other hand reusing a 13 year old theme and not giving a new arena to a boss thats suposed to be the final boss of sunbreak is very anticlimactic. Its like if in world fatalis was fought in Xeno'jiivas arena and instead of a new theme he used the old MH1 theme.

I think this is hands down one of the best designed Boss Fights in Monster Hunter.

Major props to the team for delivering this!
I'd hardly call this one of the best fights. It was a lot of fun to fight Amatsu again with the increased mobility of Rise. But I wouldn't say this is as a good as prior end/arena fights and stuff that World offered.

I was disappointed that Velkhana didn’t get a new theme but I found it completely understandable that it didn’t since it just came out last game (although Bazel got a new theme but idk) I just found it very weird how Amatsu, the big hype of the game, the monster teased since base rise got absolutely nothing to its music standpoint besides a little bit before the fight (cutscene).

Having never faced an Amatsu before, when the phase 2 theme hit, I was stunned. Things went from beautifully somber to serenely terrifying very quickly. Very glad the looming calamity of the past has returned for new players like me.
Yep, I spent like 36 minutes on my first attempt which may sounds bad but I enjoyed every second of it. Definitely one of my favorite fights of all time!
@@stangreener1704 I honestly wanted to spend the whole 50 minutes to experience the fight. I didn't care how long it took me, it was purely magnificent.
Huh, I didn't expect it would be the same as it was before Honestly I was really hoping for a remix, it would've sounded so cool in the signature Rise style
Same. Wierd that Chaotic Gore Magala got a new track even tho his wasent even very old while Amatsus track is 13 Years old. Was really exited to hear a remix of Amatsus theme too...
Theres also an Event Quest Hazard version of Amatsu that uses new combos deals more damage, has more HP and is over all harder. So if you haven't battled this version yet and want to fight Amatsu at his true streangh.
As for why they did not remix this track, they might have not seen the need to. Maybe the devs felt the track already fit so well to both the game and monster that they did not want to do anything. I think it suits the rest of the game at least
I doubt that. Mizutsunes theme fit Rise perfectly fine yet they still remixed that. I have 3 Theories. 1. They ran out of Budget for a new arena and a new Theme. 2. The Orchestra was too occupied with making music for the next Monster Hunter game or the new Mobile game Monster Hunter Now. 3. They are planing on suprising us with a true final boss in the next update so they are puting all resources into that. Doubt the 3rd one but Having Ibushi, Narwa, Amatsu and Shantien in the same game whould be a dream come true lol.
@@nargiaz could still be they were given a limited budget per title, like it's usually done. Sunbreak was also said to be very front loaded budget wise.
@@draw2death421 I don't have too much hope for the bonus update. At least it gives room for a real surprise, but I do consider the game to be more or less complete at this point, only missing the MR 200 monster. They also might have not made a remix to make the OG sounds from MHP3rd make sense too. Velkhana also did have original soundtrack, with the Iceborne hunt end music. Which would not make as much sense if he had been given a remix. But who knows, these are all just theories. But I do love the fact they did pay some homage to the original games behind Amatsu and Velkhana, even if the Magalas or Seregios did not get the same kind of treatment.
Somewhat disappointed we didn't get a Rise-style remaster but given the unique victory theme when u beat this, its kind of implied they were going for full nostalgia here. The themes always a treat regardless and one can hardly complain when the rest of this encounter and fight was given the ultimate upgrade
They kept Amatsu's victory theme in Gen and Gen U as well. What's even better is that they even called back to his original death here - upon finally dying, the storm he was controlling IMMEDIATELY dissipates, and you're greeted with a beautiful sunrise. I guess you could say it's a... SUNBREAK.
I don’t difficulty was the intention, simply the fun of facing off against the final-final boss (excluding bonus update), while doing a victory lap with blending mechanics from the original fight (tether ballistas), with the unique mechanics of Rise, (Wirebugs, wyvern riding, and siege equipment). instead of increasing difficulty through inflated damage, they instead took the route that arguably defines Rise from the other titles - it’s speed. I don’t think anyone can argue that Amatsu is fast to attack, and can combo many attacks in a row, even more so than known combo-ers like Zinogre, Mitzusune, and TU monsters, with each attack having a different pattern and a wide attack range. On a funnier note, my dumbass forgot what Amatsu was weak to, and of course I tried bringing Thunder DBs. That fight took a while lol. (A mistake I also made against Namielle first time)
I always try to solo monsters first time around and this was no exception. I’m not saying it was easy, if anything it was just in that sweet spot. And while I didn’t cart I definitely was running low on healing items by the end of it. But at least in my experience Amatsu was nothing compared to Fatalis, which I still never soloed (ended up duoing it funnily enough with a rando). Though I can imagine the chaos of trying Amatsu with randoms with how much it likes to combo and how hung up some players can be. Might just need to try it a couple of times just to see lol.
It fits Amatsu even more now too, since they made him feel MUCH more like a god (he's commonly looked at as one of the, if not the easiest last boss in the series prior, even if the fight is really cool/its very pretty)
I absolutely love odd time signatures in video game music. Monster Hunter's soundtracks have been bangers since the beginning, and in my *humble* 5th gen newbie opinion this track doesn't even need a remix. A definite 5/5, or should I say... 5/4
At first during his fight I was like “Oo he’s kinda cool. He’s kinda just taking punches tho” Then the second phase hit and the music changed and and the “oh shit” factor kicked in.
Really like how similar it is. Although the additions to Chameleos and Shagaru were cool, it's nice that this one didn't change. Still the best theme of all MH imo, well, dah'ren 2nd phase is cool too i guess
Fellow Hunters, we are gathered here today to bear witness to the return of this beautiful creature to our game. Please join me in making clothing and weapons out of its corpse.
Conflicted that they reused the ost instead of remaking it but it doesn't matter that much considering the fight looks amazing and the ost was already fantastic as is
Tho no new arena + No new theme does hurt a bit. Vocals whould have fit so well in! Its a celestial Dragon! Angelic vocals are a must! But apearently not. I gave Velkhana a pass but they should have delayed if they didint have the time to give its ost a remix especially since Amatsu is suposed to be the final boss of Sunbreak. Imagine if Fatalis used his old track in iceborne instead of the new one they made lol.
With how intimidating amatzu is. It really does not need a remake. It actually sounds different because it's in better quality. You can't beat the original
It's hard the first time encounter Amatsu whom seems impossible to beat, but if you keep trying you will one day defeat even a god (on my 3rd attempt I managed to sever the tail 30 minutes in and died due to time running out, but 4th fight I played more offensive and managed to win) and it feels so good to beat him, and if I can, YOU CAN TOO!
beautiful, colossal, formidable, how can you combine these 3 adjectives in a monster? Well, I think Amatsumagatsuchi (the Dragon God of Typhoon) is the only answer. ps. This theme, combined with the roar of the Dragon God, really make me think how tiny, powerless and vulnerable we are when facing such force of nature.
Man, shantien and amatsu really have something in common both dragons are so powerful that a little bit of oomph and they can reach the Dangerous first class category.
I dont know about that. I can see it being able to fight the serpents but I don't see being able to fight gaismagorm or safi'jiiva for instance. It makes sense tho since if anything it feels like it was meant for the base game and not for sunbreak.
You know I may be in the minority here. I think Amatsu’s theme (both phases) is on the level of Valstrax’s theme (GU’s) No need to change perfection in a musical piece
This bgm is perfect. 😩 alone it is haunting enough - but add in those enraged roars and the howling wind and slashing rain… my god 🤩 Haha and I thought Allmother was good. 😏
El tema de Amatsu es hermoso pero me esperaba un cambio de estilo como lo hicieron con Valstrax o Zinogre que el tema variaba un poco, igual el monstruo sigue estando genial y brutalisimo, El Dragon Tormenta prácticamente un desastre natural viviente.
Theres also a stronger Event Quest hazard version of him. He gives pretty good quest rewards He hits harder, has more HP, has new combos and goes earlyer into the second phase.
Man this theme might be old but i had teary eyed of nostalgia hearing this theme...😭...last time I fought him on mhgu but i dont felt any change compared to mhp3rd anyway...hes design is good but his fight is boring like fatalis back then so even if i liked them i spent most of my time beating more fun to fight monster...bloodbath diablos :P
@@mario166488 in a game where you cant even craft decorations, all while being forced into a hyper aggro elemental play style makes for an experience that isnt that fun, and really limits how you can experience a fight. amatsu you could build however you want, with any skills any weapon, and the wirebug gimmick does not affect the playstyle much, while still contributing something new and interesting. If alatreon was in rise where decos are craftable, maybe id have a different opinion, but in world it was giga mid if not unfun.
Aww... its the same. Was so exited to hear a new remix for Amatsus theme. I was even imagining that vocals whould be added to it. What a let down honestly. The theme i mean. The fight was Awesome!
I wish people would realise that games didnt necessarily get easier. They just became better hunters. And why can't they just enjoy the hunt and fight? I really enjoyed amatsu. The music ampted up the fight times ten too.
Amatsu really changed from one of the most boring fights in the franchise to a really exhilarating one both visual and difficulty wise, not saying he is super hard but maybe that’s because of our extremely bloated stats but he is certainly really hard
Yeah, i personally like it this way, i was afraid it could turn out to be something like rise misutsune's theme, which is not bad but kinda worse than the original one imo
Still. Odd that Chaotic Gore Magala got a new theme but Amatsu whos suposed to be the final boss of Sunbreak aka the ultimate fight, yet he uses the 13 year old Theme from Portable 3rd and Doesent even get a new arena. Feels kinda half baked honestly.
@@draw2death421 i don't think it that way. I think it's a very cool way to show us how magnificent that theme was since it was introduced on portable 3rd and will never get old
@@mp_o_roxo i supose tho whoudnt they have done that with Alatreon then aswell in world? That also came from MH3 and was magnificent yet it still got a remix in world.
@@draw2death421 well, yeah, that's a weird one. Maybe they were just trying to inovate in every single thing on world, maybe that's because alatreon has now the access to water element and they felt like making a new theme for him... I don't know, but what i do know is that i simply love amatsu's og theme
theme is because nostalgia and arena just for that one Monster nah. they have enough Budget after that many paid dlcs, maybe they take some of that for mh6 too, since the both Teams are helping each other now instead of making the games by their own
I cant help but think this theme does not fit a final boss for what is essentially the final update? I know we're getting variant malzeno and all but is this not supposed to be Sunbreak's fatalis or is this just Sunbreak's alatreon?
@@elgobaldez3487 huh, I guess I was expecting something more intimidating? Like yeah, cool he's here, but this doesn't really feel like it belongs in sunbreak. It feels like it belongs in the base game and not a master rank thing. I mean its whole involves two people in kamura. I just think they could've done something more interesting and not something that obvious.
@@bobthebuilder5159 I mean atleast malzeno got something unlike steve and velk. Especially velk its a very lame way to close off worldborne by just releasing a tad bit harder ver. Of velk. But alteast they learned their lesson here.
Thank goodness they did not remix or remake its theme like with Valstrax and the rest of the base Rise returning monsters. In my opinion they butchered those classic themes.
I fought Amatsu for the first time on the day the update dropped. Twice. Right before fighting his Rise incarnation I took him on in GU, and it was *so* worth it as I really enjoyed comparing and contrasting his old and new version (And yet with less moves MHGU Amatsu was still harder...)
Then again, there are some games that have dropped the difficulty a bit as time went on and more people had played it. While I may be wrong, this may be an example, excluding the Afflicted and the Risen. Amatsu also is right after the story, 4 ranks (and which seems the be a thing a lot, like with Mr.Freeze: Dragon Edition.) But that's my opinion. I've never gotten the opportunity to fight an Amatsu, despite me playing the more recent games (from 3U to Rise.) So I'm excited to fight it personally.
I'd like to say that Sunbreak's Amatsu was indeed a much flashier fight and really added depth to the dragon. Because to be honest, in MHGU, I'd get a random ass squad to fight it in G rank: we almost always tear it to shreds with 4 gunners. Pierce HBG with Valor and pierce LBG (hunter art up to you) absolutely makes a mockery of it.
Hopefully there's a hazard version in the bonus update. Amatsu moveset wise is stronger than Fatalis but lacks the health and damage to be equal and make his attacks and himself faster like his water bombs or electric disks and he'd be a true menace
I haven’t fought Amatsu myself yet, but I’m a little disappointed so far. It’s the same theme Amatsu used to have, which isn’t a bad thing, but considering other monsters like teostra, valstrax, and chameleos had remixes, you’d think sunbreaks final boss would have one too. While the theme does fit pretty well, it feels pretty boring to me. Definitely not what I’d describe as the final boss, but maybe I’ve been spoiled with Icebornes Fatalis. Also the lack of a unique arena that almost every single final boss from monster hunter has had is pretty disappointing. Look at Xeno’Jiiva, Narwa the Allmother, and Gogmazios. It seems odd to break the tradition. I know the monster hunter dev team genuinely loves and cares about the games they make and the community that revolves around said games, but this, along with the fact that Velkhanas theme didn’t change either feels lazy to me. I hope the fight with Amatsu changes my opinion on this.
The devs are definitely gunning for nostalgia for this one from amatsu's death animation, the vanishing of the storm even to the pick up sfx. Why remix the theme when its already perfect? The theme embodies the intensity of a storm that this deity of a dragon can just freely make, hearing this while amatsu yeets me to the sky blowing me up with its tornadoes man... its just fucking glorious
Unlike Amatsu moveset, almost nothing changed in this track which needed to be remastered the most. People found excuses with Velkhana's battle theme, but this time there are none. I'm really disappointed, it's just the old shit. Thankfully, they gave Amatsu a totally new moveset and a broken armor for bow users.
@@Elyrium42 Perfection is an illusion. Fans are not (not everyone, I mean) professional musicians, then why they managed to do proper remakes of this theme that could fit perfectly? I repeat: thankfully, the armor got buffed, and the moveset has almost entirely been replaced.
@@magnabueno5360 I was disappointed with Velkhana, too! But people told me it didn't need a remake just because has been composed just one game ago. I don't agree with them. About Amatsu, I wasn't speaking of a total remake, just something new, or something that could boost the epicness of this track.

Man I really love this fight, while not the most difficult it uses the wirebugs and a lot of other mechanics we have to great effect I feel.
I don’t difficulty was the intention, simply the fun of facing off against the final-final boss (excluding bonus update), while doing a victory lap with blending mechanics from the original fight (tether ballistas), with the unique mechanics of Rise, (Wirebugs, wyvern riding, and siege equipment). instead of increasing difficulty through inflated damage, they instead took the route that arguably defines Rise from the other titles - it’s speed. I don’t think anyone can argue that Amatsu is fast to attack, and can combo many attacks in a row, even more so than known combo-ers like Zinogre, Mitzusune, and TU monsters, with each attack having a different pattern and a wide attack range.
On a funnier note, my dumbass forgot what Amatsu was weak to, and of course I tried bringing Thunder DBs. That fight took a while lol. (A mistake I also made against Namielle first time)
@@whitewingedfox9879 Have you tried to solo it? It's definitely difficult without 4 people who know what they're doing LOL
I always try to solo monsters first time around and this was no exception. I’m not saying it was easy, if anything it was just in that sweet spot. And while I didn’t cart I definitely was running low on healing items by the end of it.
But at least in my experience Amatsu was nothing compared to Fatalis, which I still never soloed (ended up duoing it funnily enough with a rando).
Though I can imagine the chaos of trying Amatsu with randoms with how much it likes to combo and how hung up some players can be. Might just need to try it a couple of times just to see lol.
As soon as I heard Amatsu returned...I was hyped including my Dad
Did you hunt with your dad usually?
@@Burrakki yes
then I started hunt with my friends
you got one hella cool of a dad right there
I also hunt with my dad. He was the one that taught me monster hunter
Ive listened to this over 20 times since this fight came out, good lord this track and hunt are fantastic
It fits Amatsu even more now too, since they made him feel MUCH more like a god (he's commonly looked at as one of the, if not the easiest last boss in the series prior, even if the fight is really cool/its very pretty)
I absolutely love odd time signatures in video game music.
Monster Hunter's soundtracks have been bangers since the beginning, and in my *humble* 5th gen newbie opinion this track doesn't even need a remix.
A definite 5/5, or should I say... 5/4
You cheeky mf
Switches between 5/4 and 3/4. I expect nothing less from such an odd yet majestic creature.
At first during his fight I was like “Oo he’s kinda cool. He’s kinda just taking punches tho”
Then the second phase hit and the music changed and and the “oh shit” factor kicked in.
when this theme hits i actually go god mode on LS. Gets my adrenaline pumping.
4K for a music video with a still image?
Okay lmao
Amatsu stares at you in 4k
Really like how similar it is. Although the additions to Chameleos and Shagaru were cool, it's nice that this one didn't change. Still the best theme of all MH imo, well, dah'ren 2nd phase is cool too i guess
Fellow Hunters, we are gathered here today to bear witness to the return of this beautiful creature to our game. Please join me in making clothing and weapons out of its corpse.
Sure thing, Senator
Conflicted that they reused the ost instead of remaking it but it doesn't matter that much considering the fight looks amazing and the ost was already fantastic as is
Tho no new arena + No new theme does hurt a bit. Vocals whould have fit so well in! Its a celestial Dragon! Angelic vocals are a must! But apearently not. I gave Velkhana a pass but they should have delayed if they didint have the time to give its ost a remix especially since Amatsu is suposed to be the final boss of Sunbreak. Imagine if Fatalis used his old track in iceborne instead of the new one they made lol.
@@draw2death421 exactly what I’m thinking
@@draw2death421 I thought the Final Boss was the Malzeno Variant
@@LAMBO3601 if it is then Arch Tempered Velkhana is Icebornes Final Boss.
@@draw2death421 I guess the game has 2 Final Bosses.
One for Kamura and one for Elgado
Amatsu being for Kamura and Malzeno for Elgado.
This would be an amazing full video!
when did i say this
what does this mean
is this even me wtf
@@jayfernotrashI feel this reply so much. 💀
With all of the storms happening recently this song has been on my mind 24/7
With how intimidating amatzu is. It really does not need a remake. It actually sounds different because it's in better quality.
You can't beat the original
This song name is "burning life in storm"
It's hard the first time encounter Amatsu whom seems impossible to beat, but if you keep trying you will one day defeat even a god (on my 3rd attempt I managed to sever the tail 30 minutes in and died due to time running out, but 4th fight I played more offensive and managed to win) and it feels so good to beat him, and if I can, YOU CAN TOO!
Good Job!!
Have you already battled Hazard Amatsu?
@@lubbo5261 no I didn't even know that was an actual quest, nor how to unlock it
@@Ghostface-47 its an Event Quest, it was added a few weeks after the bonus Update.
@@lubbo5261 Thanks! I outta check it out now
Nice description, phase 2 btw
beautiful, colossal, formidable, how can you combine these 3 adjectives in a monster?
Well, I think Amatsumagatsuchi (the Dragon God of Typhoon) is the only answer.
ps. This theme, combined with the roar of the Dragon God, really make me think how tiny, powerless and vulnerable we are when facing such force of nature.
imagine listening to this ost while you are encountering a hurricane
Idk why but always gives me goosebumps
Probably bc of the silence leading up to the theme. A “calm before the storm” vibe that’s meant to make the actual drop more impactful
They really did Amatsu right this game. Good job
He has more skills than I expected
Man, shantien and amatsu really have something in common both dragons are so powerful that a little bit of oomph and they can reach the Dangerous first class category.
I dont know about that. I can see it being able to fight the serpents but I don't see being able to fight gaismagorm or safi'jiiva for instance. It makes sense tho since if anything it feels like it was meant for the base game and not for sunbreak.
You know I may be in the minority here.
I think Amatsu’s theme (both phases) is on the level of Valstrax’s theme (GU’s)
No need to change perfection in a musical piece
Based.
This bgm is perfect. 😩 alone it is haunting enough - but add in those enraged roars and the howling wind and slashing rain… my god 🤩
Haha and I thought Allmother was good. 😏
fortunately his themes not changed
El tema de Amatsu es hermoso pero me esperaba un cambio de estilo como lo hicieron con Valstrax o Zinogre que el tema variaba un poco, igual el monstruo sigue estando genial y brutalisimo, El Dragon Tormenta prácticamente un desastre natural viviente.
It took me and some friends 30-40 attempts to kill this monster at master rank, the last attempt we managed to defeat it, it was a legendary battle!
Theres also a stronger Event Quest hazard version of him. He gives pretty good quest rewards
He hits harder, has more HP, has new combos and goes earlyer into the second phase.
Can you release also the victory quest theme please !!! So nostalgic 🤩
アマツマガツチ最高！！
still my favourite fight in the series
It bothers me that it's not a remix of the classic song with vocals
It's not a bad song, I love it, but I really wanted to hear a new song for amatsu
YES! he is back!
This theme, the thrill of the battle, the whistling of destructive winds mixed with rain and lightning and Amatsu's roar... Perfection.
Idk if its an accomplishment pr not but both of my first amatsumagatsuchi ( gen and sunbreak ) were done in singleplayer
The name of the song is [Life Burning in the Storm／嵐の中に燃える命]
It felt good... avenging my GU self. I was never able to defeat Amatsu in MHGU at all lmao
Man this theme might be old but i had teary eyed of nostalgia hearing this theme...😭...last time I fought him on mhgu but i dont felt any change compared to mhp3rd anyway...hes design is good but his fight is boring like fatalis back then so even if i liked them i spent most of my time beating more fun to fight monster...bloodbath diablos :P
imagine if world alatreon fight was designed as well as amatsus fight
I thought the fight was fine, that being said I liked using element so I wasn't trapped in unga bunga explosion mindset.
Alatreon was the best fight in World lol
@@mario166488 in a game where you cant even craft decorations, all while being forced into a hyper aggro elemental play style makes for an experience that isnt that fun, and really limits how you can experience a fight. amatsu you could build however you want, with any skills any weapon, and the wirebug gimmick does not affect the playstyle much, while still contributing something new and interesting. If alatreon was in rise where decos are craftable, maybe id have a different opinion, but in world it was giga mid if not unfun.
何の誇張表現も無いただそのままのタイトルすこ
the storm that is approaching.
WHAT IS THAT MELODYYY ?! IT'S THAT ME ??
みんな移植されてきたらアレンジされてるのに、こいつだけアレンジなしという最高の演出ぶちかましてくれたか……待ってろ、今…決着をつけに行く。
イヴェルカーナもアレンジないですよ
だがしかし感動のレベルが違う…笑
Cant improve perfection
Although I didn’t love the fight as many did here I’m gust glad to see one of my favs back again
There's a hint of shan tien medley in this phase.
It sounds like an theme from Pokémon Mystery Dungeon
Aww... its the same. Was so exited to hear a new remix for Amatsus theme. I was even imagining that vocals whould be added to it. What a let down honestly.
The theme i mean. The fight was Awesome!
He's back >:3
“So how do we remix this all time classic?”
“…”
“…”
“…1080p?”
I wish people would realise that games didnt necessarily get easier. They just became better hunters. And why can't they just enjoy the hunt and fight? I really enjoyed amatsu. The music ampted up the fight times ten too.
if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it
This is what we hear in Puerto Rico when a hurricane hits us.
The closes thing to an actual Long Dragon in asian mythos to fight.
description mentions phase 1 lol
This music reminds of my dream im dreaming about a final fight at the storm
日本神話に出てくる「風神」は正にこんな感じだよ
Amatsu = Fujin
Zinogre = Raijin
I beated gaismagorm an hour ago, i need a break not this 😭
for those who have hunted amatsu before, is the monster skillset changed a lot in rise? or same as the old amatsu?
The old amatsu was unable to use thunder
They changed him a lot compared to how he is in Portable 3rd and GU.
He has alot of new moves and behaviors with a few callbacks to the original
he's almost a completely different monster
LOTS of new moves that's for sure
The current situation of the Philippines (Luzon portion) be like:
Amatsu really changed from one of the most boring fights in the franchise to a really exhilarating one both visual and difficulty wise, not saying he is super hard but maybe that’s because of our extremely bloated stats but he is certainly really hard
He is challenging enough
@@Amatsu_storm_approach oh hey fellow Amatsu
@@ovenaroundhead2881 Hi
Capcom just needs to make the roar alityle more louder and powerful then it's perfect
They didn't remix amatsu theme. But it's still great
where's the highest possible damage (edit: number) in sunbreak?
4k what? that still image?
Yes the image is 4K
It's important. 😌
Hellstroom raining down
0:32 is just the best
Underrated asf.
@@magnabueno5360 Like the Monster itself
It just doesn’t hit the same without the rain and roar
One man's trash is abother man's treasure as they say. By the way, hate to be that guy but what's the song that's playing?
Yeah, i personally like it this way, i was afraid it could turn out to be something like rise misutsune's theme, which is not bad but kinda worse than the original one imo
Still. Odd that Chaotic Gore Magala got a new theme but Amatsu whos suposed to be the final boss of Sunbreak aka the ultimate fight, yet he uses the 13 year old Theme from Portable 3rd and Doesent even get a new arena.
Feels kinda half baked honestly.
@@draw2death421 i don't think it that way. I think it's a very cool way to show us how magnificent that theme was since it was introduced on portable 3rd and will never get old
@@mp_o_roxo i supose tho whoudnt they have done that with Alatreon then aswell in world? That also came from MH3 and was magnificent yet it still got a remix in world.
@@draw2death421 well, yeah, that's a weird one. Maybe they were just trying to inovate in every single thing on world, maybe that's because alatreon has now the access to water element and they felt like making a new theme for him... I don't know, but what i do know is that i simply love amatsu's og theme
@@draw2death421 mfs are never happy with anything
Zeus incarnate
That whould be White Fatalis
@@draw2death421 Amatsu is more Sunanoo Incarnate (The Japanese Deity of Sea & Storms)
That'd be Narwa, even though she'd be a goddess.
Guys y'all amatsu is based on Zeus
@@falciovalmond7438 Also some elements of Suijin, too
Kinda odd we didn't get a new arena or a remix of the theme, almost like they ran out of budget lol
theme is because nostalgia and arena just for that one Monster nah. they have enough Budget after that many paid dlcs, maybe they take some of that for mh6 too, since the both Teams are helping each other now instead of making the games by their own
I cant help but think this theme does not fit a final boss for what is essentially the final update? I know we're getting variant malzeno and all but is this not supposed to be Sunbreak's fatalis or is this just Sunbreak's alatreon?
It is primordial malzeno is literally AT velkhana of sunbreak
@@elgobaldez3487 huh, I guess I was expecting something more intimidating? Like yeah, cool he's here, but this doesn't really feel like it belongs in sunbreak. It feels like it belongs in the base game and not a master rank thing. I mean its whole involves two people in kamura. I just think they could've done something more interesting and not something that obvious.
@@bobthebuilder5159 I mean atleast malzeno got something unlike steve and velk.
Especially velk its a very lame way to close off worldborne by just releasing a tad bit harder ver. Of velk. But alteast they learned their lesson here.
@@elgobaldez3487 that is true
Vietnam rn:
Thank goodness they did not remix or remake its theme like with Valstrax and the rest of the base Rise returning monsters. In my opinion they butchered those classic themes.
I fought Amatsu for the first time on the day the update dropped. Twice.
Right before fighting his Rise incarnation I took him on in GU, and it was *so* worth it as I really enjoyed comparing and contrasting his old and new version
(And yet with less moves MHGU Amatsu was still harder...)
Then again, there are some games that have dropped the difficulty a bit as time went on and more people had played it. While I may be wrong, this may be an example, excluding the Afflicted and the Risen. Amatsu also is right after the story, 4 ranks (and which seems the be a thing a lot, like with Mr.Freeze: Dragon Edition.)
But that's my opinion. I've never gotten the opportunity to fight an Amatsu, despite me playing the more recent games (from 3U to Rise.) So I'm excited to fight it personally.
I'm guessing you're a meta player cause I was playing with my gf and we got absolutely destroyed over and over again
He wasnt really harder, you just had less movement capabilities
@@soulreaver6546 idk bro, sounds like a *KRILL ISSUE* to me
I'd like to say that Sunbreak's Amatsu was indeed a much flashier fight and really added depth to the dragon. Because to be honest, in MHGU, I'd get a random ass squad to fight it in G rank: we almost always tear it to shreds with 4 gunners. Pierce HBG with Valor and pierce LBG (hunter art up to you) absolutely makes a mockery of it.
Hopefully there's a hazard version in the bonus update. Amatsu moveset wise is stronger than Fatalis but lacks the health and damage to be equal and make his attacks and himself faster like his water bombs or electric disks and he'd be a true menace
@AAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I saw that, so hyped for it and it drops mp accelerants finally a way to grind them without the argosy
Man the fact that there are no hazards for amatsu, narawa and gaismagorm is kinda dissapointing
There is a Hazard Amatsu in the game files.
This Thursday, I believe it will come out.
I got good news, they announced a new suprise event quest on Instagram, where we have to fight an Hazard Amatsu.^^
@@lubbo5261 oh shit really
@@bazokarpg1999 yes
I haven’t fought Amatsu myself yet, but I’m a little disappointed so far. It’s the same theme Amatsu used to have, which isn’t a bad thing, but considering other monsters like teostra, valstrax, and chameleos had remixes, you’d think sunbreaks final boss would have one too. While the theme does fit pretty well, it feels pretty boring to me. Definitely not what I’d describe as the final boss, but maybe I’ve been spoiled with Icebornes Fatalis. Also the lack of a unique arena that almost every single final boss from monster hunter has had is pretty disappointing. Look at Xeno’Jiiva, Narwa the Allmother, and Gogmazios. It seems odd to break the tradition.
I know the monster hunter dev team genuinely loves and cares about the games they make and the community that revolves around said games, but this, along with the fact that Velkhanas theme didn’t change either feels lazy to me. I hope the fight with Amatsu changes my opinion on this.
Fight the damn fight LOL it's not boring at all. They totally changed it and it's super intense. Also, it's clear that the arena was MADE for Amatsu.
@@JeanKP14 I was talking about the theme when I said it was boring, not the fight. Also, I can’t fight Amatsu because I’m an Xbox player
The devs are definitely gunning for nostalgia for this one from amatsu's death animation, the vanishing of the storm even to the pick up sfx.
Why remix the theme when its already perfect? The theme embodies the intensity of a storm that this deity of a dragon can just freely make, hearing this while amatsu yeets me to the sky blowing me up with its tornadoes man... its just fucking glorious
Unlike Amatsu moveset, almost nothing changed in this track which needed to be remastered the most. People found excuses with Velkhana's battle theme, but this time there are none. I'm really disappointed, it's just the old shit.
Thankfully, they gave Amatsu a totally new moveset and a broken armor for bow users.
Don't need to change something that is already perfect.
@@Elyrium42 Perfection is an illusion. Fans are not (not everyone, I mean) professional musicians, then why they managed to do proper remakes of this theme that could fit perfectly?
I repeat: thankfully, the armor got buffed, and the moveset has almost entirely been replaced.
With velkh, I was kinda disappointed, but with amatsu? This theme I love so I don't mind a bit.
I get your feelings tho.
@@magnabueno5360 I was disappointed with Velkhana, too! But people told me it didn't need a remake just because has been composed just one game ago. I don't agree with them. About Amatsu, I wasn't speaking of a total remake, just something new, or something that could boost the epicness of this track.
In my opinion it fits better now, because Amatsu is actually the God that he should be.
