    Apart from the final this is my favourite battle, Mephiles knowing he’s out of the timeline and wants to restore himself is cool. Also the fight itself is interesting and has great action. The fact is well Mephiles is the only one underground indicating the void is forgetting it’s apart of existence. The sonic battle animation is well done, even if it isn’t a proper battle. Also how shadow got his name is so wonderful and beautiful and is clever. ❤️🖤

It's possible that dimension is the Sol Dimension, which could mean that timeline's Iblis is still alive living inside of Blaze. While we know that the ending of Sonic 06 erased Solaris, along with Mephiles and Iblis, from their dimension, we don't know if it affected the Sol Dimension at all.

      But I realize something else; Iblis is technically in Sonic Generations when you play as Sonic going through Crisis City. While Sonic doesn't fight Iblis directly, he does fight off the minions that they usually create. The minions, the flames, the lava, the fire tornado, they are all extensions of Iblis itself.

    Seeing Mephiles again kind of makes me wish sonci team would go for a final fantasy 7 style remake of 06 where mephiles remembers all the events of the original game. They could even be a bit meta about it and have him belittle his past plans, as a cheeky parallel to how the original game sucked.

  • @filipvadas7602
    @filipvadas7602 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +6

    Honestly, I think a reason people feel a tinge of sympathy for him is because Mephiles has *always* been insane. He and Iblis were never meant to exist separately and when Shadow trapped him in the scepter he was completely unaware of his surroundings. Only remebering Shadow's form and stewing over it in confinement for years. All of which clearly made him go a little mad. He was still one half of a time god, but his intelligence compared to Iblis just made his madness & lust for revenge worse.
    Then he gets erased and spends an unknown amount of time in The Void. Now finally seeing an opportunity to escape by killing Shadow and taking the Emerald from him.
    And his voice actor Robbie Daymond, although he's no Dan Green who was literally perfect, does a great job in making Mephiles sound pretty similar, but also *DESPERATE*
    Meaning he's losing whatever sanity he has left in The Void, fully aware he "doesn't exist".
    Its natural to feel a small tinge of pity for him.
    Don't get it twisted tho, this is still a FITTING punishment for him. But if this is Sega checking how open the fanbase is to seeing him return in some capacity, I wouldn't mind it if they went the Happy Chaos route (Guilty Gear). Where he's still an antagonistic force, but one who's happy to just exist again.

  • @falloutglasster7807
    @falloutglasster7807 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +8

    My only guess why Chaos island is part of shadows story is because he eventually ends up there (Maybe as Frontiers dlc, another animated short, or a frontiers sequel) since shadow also havent been in sunset hills yet in this point in the series.

    It's crazy to think that SEGA actually brought back mephiles in an actual sonic game where you actually fight him! And i don't mind his new voice actor. Sure it's no dan green, but he's still doing his best! Though i saw a video of someone made a mod where it's still the same voice but it was shifted down to make him sound deeper and it doesn't sound bad. (Though the mod from that video isn't released at the time i saw it)

    Makes me sad she didn't like them referencing the dialogue for this moment and seeing it as "it's bad writing because it's reusing old lines as references." But that's also what confuses me, the game that's full of the most heavy handed references being the main gimmick (playing in old level themes), yet replicating old lines from the era those lines are from is pushing it? I don't get it.
    Also on the VA switch, like I get being attached to the older ones but that's just how the English VA system works, there isn't a guarantee they'll stay the same actor for the rest of their existence. Not to mention they had to for the adjustment of the story, granted they didn't change the script for the Japanese version for some reason, the script and lines only change for the English VA's.
    Also the reason Frontiers didn't get the love it needed until later is because Sega of Japan just didn't give a $#!+ if Sonic was having good quality or not, because to them until Frontiers slap them awake, they treated it like Pokemon. Like literally since Colors they viewed Sonic as "the hero of children," that's why so many of the stories felt like they were low stakes and why the quality was all over the map.

      Well, he’d probably be less of a threat, since Iblis was destroyed and Solaris doesn’t exist. But, he’d still be impossible to kill, and probably can’t die. So he’d find a way to end the universe some other way. Keep in mind, he beat Shadow once, and forced him to take off his inhibitor rings. So there’s a good chance Mephlies could beat base Shadow going all out. Most likely plan I think? He’d probably plunge Earth back into the Dark Ages. Mephiles would thrive in that period, only after killing Shadow and the others of course. But Sage, Blaze, Silver, and Sonic would also be big obstacles for him.

Mephiles while he would be a problem probably won't be able to defeat them now without outside help or the Chaos Emeralds to boost himself, even then it would only get him on their level since a sufficient amount of Chaos energy can apparently knock the emeralds out of someone something Sonic knows very well since Frontiers.

    With the content we’ve gotten recently, I can’t help but wonder, could GUN and Mephiles return to the franchise in some shape or form? Would Sonic Team do it? Could they in terms of writing? That last one, maybe. I hope so, I could see Mephiles reminding Shadow all over again with that psychological torture and emotional torment he pulled over him in Sonic 06. Mephiles was one of the few characters that could actually match, or overcome Shadow. As for GUN, while it makes sense Eggman would destroy them, I feel the writers left their fate vague in Forces so they could use them again later if they wanted. But, we’ll have to wait and see what SEGA and Sonic Team do. Personally, I’d like to see to see Mephiles and GUN return somehow.
