What if you
wanted After Despair and Hope to be in Smash,
but Sakurai said
"Tiger Tiger remix"
The remix is a bop tho
@@emblemblade9245 it actually is a really good remix though
*Argentum*
@Bring Peter Griffin to Super Smash Bros Don't forget the orchestrated Dragon Quest music and Birth of a God.
Amalthus was a weird choice to me, when they could have used this song or Jin's theme instead.
I’ve never heard someone use the word “boy” as a curse word like Malos does.
It's as venomous as any curse word when he says it lol
Morag did it pretty well in the start, too.
Kratos
It made a lot more sense in Japanese as he calls him 小僧 (Kozō).
@@林泓旭-i1d what does that mean?
When I first saw him use Prometheus, I had actually already used a chain attack and was currently still building meter(About2/3 full). Needless to say, he fucked my entire party. Before my eyes, everyone dropped dead.
_Everyone except for Tora._
I _just so happened_ to have Tora's ability that gives him a chance to survive lethal blows with 1 HP. And it _just so happened_ to proc. On _Prometheus._ Thus started a fucking incredible comeback as Tora furiously scrambled to get the party back up and in good straits. Tora even did his _"Tora right here!"_ line during the final chain attack. So that was pretty cute.
Good game, this.
Tyrannosaurus Chexmix I remember my ex back when we were still just friends fighting Aion and because I gave him the advice to put agility up accessories on Morag, she fucking DODGED PROMETHEUS! And then the rest of the fight played out like yours lol
Tora's skill to survive with 1hp is always guaranteed to proc once per battle, it's effect only resets after a battle has ended
@@airi3672 She fucking DODGED Prometheus? That's Morag for you. Total queen energy.
@@8BitPinkiePie Oh, is that right? Well, the more ya know.
Tyrannosaurus Chexmix it was the funniest moment I had ever experienced in my life at that moment. All it took was some agility increase accessories and bada bing my ex who was (not that I’d say it to their face) bad at the game was able to beat the final boss on the second try.
"...So let's end this now."
"Don't you feel anything? Father's sadness? The world he longed for?!"
"How could I? That isn't... my role in this world."
"This man... Does he mean to...?!"
"Come at me, kid! Come, my partner! Give me all you've got...You better show me all of it! The extent of your will! Show me why you're here in this world!"
Can you still not see? Stop the artifice, Malos!
Bet.
@@gaminglord829sidious7 "See what brat!? The world's never gonna change, if that's all you got!"
@@SuperPlaytendo - It will change. I will change it, that’s the reason we’ve come all this way!
@@gaminglord829sidious7 “Why don’t you just let it go!? Who do you think you’re doing this for!?”
At 1:10 is when you can walk over to the boss and draw your weapon. I'm a sucker for when audio cues line up with gameplay, so needless to say, I was grinning ear to ear.
Well said! Great directing
I sure love those too! They add quite huge impact with the feel and flow of the scene.
Ever played Oninaki? The final boss theme is guaranteed to sync up with when the boss dies. I can't explain it, you just have to see it. It's great though. Also, the game itself is amazing.
when i was fighting the boss, that bit always seemed to start playing right as i finished a blade combo, or even my chain attack(s) which was awesome lol. i’m someone who hopes hat in the future of video game music, we’ll have tracks that _know_ when big moments happen, or scale with the intensity of the fight with instruments cutting in, etc. it may be farfetched, but hey, i can dream! (or who knows, maybe some game has already done it and i’m just oblivious)
edit: so basically like what the reply above me mentions, but grander and throughout the fight with different queues
@@echowhosthis Have you ever heard of DMC 5, Echo? Because the better you do in the fights, the better the music is. And the music is fucking killer.
Pneuma could have easily been the villain and Malos the hero, it was just who opened them, who they took their influence from, it’s truly spectacular, beautiful game!!
The game would have been 10x better if malos was rexs blade instead we got stuoid anime harem bullshit
@@demosthenes995 misunderstanding the plot I see
Also if most of the party members were all guys you wouldn’t say anything about it lol
@@demosthenes995 I actually agree tbh. Too much generic anime shit and that’s coming from someone who finished the game
@@demosthenes995 man stfu with your shit opinion u dumb fuck this is a Japanese story
In one world, Rex and friends are fighting to bring down Malos and Artifice Aion.
In Another world, Shulk and friends are fighting to bring down Zanza.
Truly epic.
only because Shulk spent so much time side questing just as well i suppose LOL
@@TheGreystroke If you want to get technical, XC2's main storyline is actually much shorter than XC1's.
@@Metaridley17 yeah i mean ive been playong casually (unlike my hardcore xc1 playstyle) and im already at chapter 5 after like 30 hours at most
@@Metaridley17 how? Xenoblade 2 has more cutscene time in the main story than 1 does
@@eeeeggnog._. They're referring to the story. It makes sense that XC1 is longer time wise because Shulk's journey is entirely done on foot, while Rex uses a ton of different vehicles to travel all over the place
I love the musical motifs in this game. In this song in particular I just noticed how fitting that little part of "Counterattack/Loneliness" is stuck within the song. It really highlights the tone of the battle on the good side being the "counterattack" part and on the bad guy's perspective I think "loneliness" can be definitely applied. In regards to what side each character is on, it's a bit bittersweet amongst the epicness of the whole track
Yeah, if you pay attention to the OST, you can hear a little of some tracks, and what's make it even better is that each part fits well with the phases of the fight
In a similar sense, Jin's battle theme has "Where we used to be" worked into it, and given his backstory it fits perfectly.
AHHHHH ;W;
Yeah this song is definitely a masterpiece. Every time the Counterattack part kicks in I get chills all over again just like I did the first time.
The world tree theme is also in there.
PROMETHIUS!
*START THE CHAIN ATTACK NOW*
*oh god oh fuck please*
Thank the Architect for avoiding damage!
believe it or not i would have won the fight first try if i knew what to do when Malos uses prometheus
I remember the second time I fought him for fun, he used Prometheus, and I never saw him use that attack in the first time I fought him, so when it hit my party I had used a chain attack at that very second, so it was kinda cool as hell when the screen flashed white to indicate the chain attack but Prometheus had ended up hitting me in time and sending me to the title screen.
You know what was seriously cool? The second time I fought Malos I had Shulk with me and when Malos used Prometheus Shulk was able to annul it with his Vision. It was seriously badass and basically screamed "THE FUTURE IS OURS TO DECIDE!" and right after that I summoned Pneuma and finished off Malos with the Supernova blade combo. That was by far one of my most badass and climactic experiences in a videogame so far.
This theme is seriously underrated. The instrumental at 1:10 is easily one of the grandest riffs of music I've ever heard in a video game. Pure tension and emotion as you walk up to the final boss you've been dueling with the entire game.
Agreed!
Behave!
My thoughts exactly!
@@note676 hi rex
One of the best final boss themes ever for sure. When the music swells and that guitar hits and piano starts to break down I get chills no matter how many times I’ve heard it.
Dude. This playing on the top of Torna while the party has their final battle with Malos AS BOTH SIRENS ARE DUELING IN THE BACKGROUND
Isn’t that the praetor theme remix? Or is that just the boss fight?
Predator remix is first malos for a fight the second and last is this.
Real shit
“PROMETHEUS!”
Corvin: SLOW DOWN THERE BUCKAROO
Malos: This time..I'LL MAKE SURE YOU'RE DEAD!
Zeke:Right o!
Me: Has malos at ⅙ life.
Malos: haha prometheus go brr
Morag: brighid.
_FORM THE THIRD_
*AION down to 25% health*
*AION moving to the back*
Hearing Malos screaming something about "this is the end"
Seeing a HUGE Fireball above AION.
Hearing: "PROMETHEUS"
White screen --> Game Over.
Better save that Chain Link people!
Recht_voor_zijn_raap
For some reason he never used that when I fought him the three times that I did, but then my strategy was usually to whittle down an enemy’s health, then use Pneuma once it was low enough and do a chain attack with Pneuma just before her time ran out.
Pretty sure I beat him with a full burst too, so that’s cool.
Justo saque a Pneuma y hice un ataque combinado para no morir xD
I don't remember if I evaded or if I just tanked it. I never thought of using the chain link, that would have saved me a few problems...
Recht_voor_zijn_raap fuck man
@@hyrakukamy Pardon me?!
The final Malos fight in Torna~ The Golden Country was amazing with this theme
im here after beating that fight i am a fucking mess
@@theswagatron it's OK. It's not but for comforting purposes it is.
@@theswagatronI was the same in the end of both Xenoblade 2 and Torna. Glad I am not the only one, these games can mess with our feelings
It's always going smoothly till malos whips out prometheus and you only have 2/3 of your chain meter
Presses evade button
Malos' voice actor is so amazing.
His name is David Menkin.
Menkin is outstanding as Malos
Lilian Achura
I’m gonna be honest, I don’t like him. I don’t like most of the XC2 VA’s though.
@@someguy4405 That's okay.
Lilian Achura
Going back and doing the Aion fight he’s actually pretty good, but Rex’s VA can’t compare to Shulk’s.
This is the perfect final boss theme, it gives a vibe of intensity, and at 1:12 you start to get the feeling of the song grabbing you by the shoulders and saying "you can do this"
Nailed it.
"Don't you feel anything? Father's sadness? The world he longed for?!"
"How could I?
That isn't...
My role in this world."
"Why don't you just let it go?! Who do you think you're doing this for?"
"I'm doing it... for myself. If it helps put smiles on people's faces... helps them live their lives together... then *that's* my role in this world!"
"I'll show you the end of the world... WITH AION! THIS IS THE THUNDER OF JUSTICE!"
WTF does Malos know about 'justice'!?
In the words of Vandham:
"Justice is only an excuse to start wars."
@@CordyBrush I agree with vandham completely.
Nobody finished it?
SIREN BUSTER
“This is the end!”
*20 seconds later*
PROMETHEUS
I don't really know why but I love the line he says when he uses Siren Buster.
This is the thunder of justice! Siren Buster!
It's probably the beast voicing Malos
By far the best final boss theme in all of Xenoblade.
After the Malos battle in Torna, it’s an undisputed fact if you ask me.
Nah, doesn't even come close to Zanza's theme(s)
Zanza’s themes are great but I just prefer After Despair & Hope because well...it’s exactly what the title says. Plus I can’t get enough of guitar riffs
for me the future redeemed final boss theme is the best but i respect your opinion
@@GRK_2024
They posted this before FR released.
First time I saw Prometheus I just assumed it was a scripted attack that would lead into a cutscene and just sat there and ate it.
Let's just say I wasn't stoked to be back on the title screen.
Bruh when i saw that attack coming, i fucking spammed Shield with Godfrey! XD Tora lived but Zeke ate shit.
As ever Rex and Zeke got wiped but Tora is absolutely fine from Prometheus
@@dragoonarchive9197 You used Godfrey? Why?
I had no idea what that attack did so I was scared, I’d instantly load up a chain attack. only ever lost the first part of the battle, and then won it with Morag left standing. She also beat Jin all by herself...she can be a trooper😂got me out of a lot of dangerous fights.
Same, I was so sad, but at least I got to hear this song again haha
"Come at me, kid! Come, my partner! Give me all you've got...You better show me all of it! The extent of your will! Show me why you're here in this world!"
And that was the moment that I fell in love with Malo's English dub. The emotion in his words were SO GODDAMN GOOD !
I WAS LITERALLY LOOKING FOR MY FAVORITE XENOBLADE SONG IN A PLAYLIST AND FOUND YOU LOLOL
I already fell in love with his va in chapter 1 during the fight against him. Malos is the only character that has an outstanding voice in this game. This line just was like this icing
You didn't fall in love with David Menkin earlier than that?? It took THAT long?!?? 😨
INDEED
''first im going to punch him in the face, and then i will invite him for a drink or something''
Doing max chain damage on this fight and having it be the killing move is the most satisfying end to a final boss I've ever had.
This fight was amazing not only was it a tough Boss fight for non grinding players but the fact u had to finish with a Chain Attack and the cutscenes AND HOW THE UNIVERSES ARE CONNECTED is what makes me want 2 more than 1
I finished the boss fight with the singular and only full burst attack I ever did
I forgot full burst was a thing until it happened and I was so freaking hype you would not believe
I may not hold this game as highly as XC1 but damn
It was something special anyways. They really knocked it out of the park.
I grinded a lot... This fight was cake sadly. Zanza was harder.
I didn't even use a single Chain Attack. Prometheus just... somehow managed to completely miss me the second time around.
I still have no clue how that happened.
Sadly this boss was stupid easy on easy difficulty
Skallo I had a similar thing happened on my second attempt on the boss fight (I lost on my first attempt). I was trying to finish up a blade combo so I can get an elemental orb, then switch to their true form then chain attack. But he used Prometheus sooner than I thought, and I used the special as he was using the attack. The entire screen was white, besides the button inputs for the special, after that, the screen faded out. I thought I lost, but then it played the cutscene that plays when you won. Aion was at around 1/4 of health. I didn’t think that the special would kill him. I know he was weak to light during that phase, but still.
Xenoblade Chronicles 2's soundtrack is my favorite soundtrack in the world. This is because it has EVERYTHING. LITERALLY EVERYTHING. Metal guitars. Acoustic guitars. Soft piano. Blasting synths. Intense battle themes. Grand orchestral pieces. Jazzy compositions in torna. And often, all of those things within the same song. What is there NOT to like???
you should play fe3h
@@AlphaC0re TRUUUUUE
I recommend listening to XIV's OST, that game has everything from Nightmare Before Christmas to THE EDGE IS CALLING TONIGHT to Bollywood to Sugarplum Fairies to Ripping Out Your Heart Softly With a Piano
I'd also recommend listening to paper mario: the origami king's soundtrack. I'm not even exaggerating when I say that it has practically every genre of music. it also manages to blend genres in ways I didn't even know was possible. the amount of variety is unreal.
@@magus13131was gonna say the same. Xc2 has variety XIV has EVERYTHING and more

I just ate some beans to this song and lemme just tell you those were the best beans I ever had.
Were you feeling full of beans?
this song grew on me, now its one of my favorite final boss themes ever. at first i dident like very much for some reason
same
ishmal koch I agree.
I still think that "Acting God" is the true final boss theme in x2.
After despair and hope is too sad.
@@tollyboyer3707 makes you really feel that Malos was damned by his drivers hatred. Never had a chance
Dream Eagle I love how this shows that the final battle is more tragic than epic
this song is so underrated. im worried it wont get into smash because of that but i need it SO BADDDDDDDDDD
SAMEEEE
FOR THE LIVE OF ZANZA
I hope it does now that pyra and mythra are in smash and I hope some other good songs like bringer of chaos and mor ardain are in the game along with the songs in the trailer
I could see this getting in, most end game songs get in, plus it is a fighting song, there are a lot of songs that may not get in since they aren’t fighting songs, but that isn’t an issue with this song
we also need Zanza The Divine and The God-Slaying Sword
Used this music as the final battle theme for a dnd campaign I ran. The campaign basically played into all the other ones I made in that all of those worlds were created by scientists as experiments, after which point they ascended to godhood. The premise was that over the course of around 5 campaigns the players were slowly chipping away, felling one of the scientists per campaign, and using this song to cap all of this off after the players had realized that everything they had done over the years was connected was just the most amazing feeling.
Even after future redeemeds final boss theme this is still my favorite xeno final boss theme
I love Zanza the Divine, but, this is a better final boss song in my opinion. The way it ties in musical themes that go back to the very beginning sends chills down my spine. Musical storytelling at its finest, and its on a whole other level of its own. XC2 has just an astronomical soundtrack.
Agreed! Exactly.
I can go either or.
I /greatly/ prefer it to God-Slaying Sword though.
Well, Zanza the Divine can also be heard in a lot of the music in Xenoblade 1. Most noticeably in Satorl Marsh (Night), Frontier Village, Prison Island, and even the final part of the main guitar solo in You Will Know Our Names.
It could have been a little bit longer though
The most underrated final boss theme in the franchise
Wrong video. This isn't showdown with Z (or whatever the final boss theme from X may be, for that matter)
@@YoshiAteTooManyYoshiCookies I wrote this comment before I played X and I have changed my opinion, X’s final boss theme is my favorite.
Give me all you've got... You better show me all of it! The extent of your will! Show me why you're here in this world!
The best part of this theme is how well it matches its respective title. I can literally feel the despair in the opera and I can then feel the hope that Rex and them are representative of when the flashes of “Counterattack” are played. It’s honestly a well thought out and great piece. Zanza was good and all but all I felt when listening to that song was despair, which is not what happened in the end so to me it is inferior to this theme. This theme is not only great on its own merits, it’s also symbolic of the events currently happening when the theme plays which is true selling point.
Agree.
also i still think that "Acting God" is the true final boss theme in x2.
After despair and hope is too sad.
That's because Zanza is meant to show how powerful and dominating the final boss is. He freaking destroys and rebuilds universes on whim during the fight and his form turns into a more grotesque fusion of the two titans as the fight progresses. The entire dynamic changes when phase 3 comes about and The God-Slaying Sword starts playing, which is the track that is meant to make _you_ feel powerful and ruthless.
You didn't do Blade 1 final boss themes justice. Their usage is also sublime and powerful, but in different ways.
solareflare47
And that part of Counterattack is actually taken from Engage The Enemy. So. That’s cool I guess.
@@Skallva Zanza - You are powerless
God-Slaying Sword - Zanza is already DEAD.
Aaaaah this track is so underrated
Heck yeah! It's incredible, it's one of my favourite final boss themes ever.
Not underrated, perhaps the best battle music up there with torna battle theme... its just... we only got a chance to listen to this battle theme once on the entire game and prometheus erase our memory of this theme lol
I beat the game 2 hours ago and at 3:25 it was THIS part of the track where the Overkill started, Zeke started to deliver the finishing blow to Malos.
Amazing.
Anyone else notice Aion’s black and white color scheme seemed reminiscent of Zanza’s final form, which itself borrowed elements from the Bionis and Mechonis respectively?
Correct. The game is full of dualities, once you start noticing them, you really start digging into how clever the structure of Xenoblade Chronicles 2 actually is (in relation to 1).
I assumed that it was supposed to be Pneuma’s weapon with the red and white representing Pyra and Mythra.
@@noahchars849 it can still be represented as pyra and mythra’s color scheme but it’s up to us
This Sounds Like Dadas Broke Music
Also I see little people mention the similarities betwen Bionis and Siren, their silouettes are pretty similar.
The more I listen to this, the more I'm convinced it's one of the best boss themes in all of gaming.

This song perfectly captures the feeling of despair that ya boi final boss is feeling, and also how much is at stake if you lose.
I like this a lot more than Zanza, to be honest. The melody to me is more memorable, and the references to Counterattack (which plays at the game's first major boss fight) is brilliant since this is the final boss fight!
TheSpeedymouse Zanza is unique- but for me it is more a Character Theme then a final boss theme. XC2 Final Boss Theme is a bombastic and dramatic take and has a beautiful melody. I also prefer it.
I love Zanza more personally but there is no arguing about how legendary 2:49 is
It feels like they couldn't decide what to do with the main part, so they just reused it endlessly in this track instead of only a few times like a regular song was, and didn't let much else accompany it.
Zanza: I have the best boss theme

This boss battle seems to have been expertly designed to create a awesome story to tell about how the player first beat it. Prometheus just comes out of nowhere initially and seems like an impossible no u to victory but then when your party somehow manages to overcome it the result is always a great story. Brilliant game design on monolith’s end

XC1 was boring combat. XC2 was amazing plot. XC3 had amazing characters and development. I think the games got progressively better
Still my least favorite game in the series but I’ve grown a little bit fond of it
This theme is so good! It fits so well for this battle I love it!
This song is actually epic as hell. I feel this distinct memory that the only reason I won was because RNGesus blessed me and allowed Tora to survive with 1 HP.

The moment the XC2 leitmotif hits gives you goosebumps. (In a good way of course)
It’s magical, it gives you flashbacks to the journey you’ve been through, it’s the culmination of everything. Truly beautiful.
Whenever monolith soft are at their best it's a masterpiece in the making.
That part when the little bit of Counterattack hits gets me all emotional.
My older sister was over at my house when I was beating this game and when the first piano solo started she started freaking out even though she hasn’t played the games.
“YOUR WILL, MY WILL, LETS SEE WICH ONE IS STRONGER”
“WE NEED TO SETTLE THIS”
It’s the fact that malos and almalthus were right about humanity not changing, the story and trailer for Xc3 proves it.
You can really feel it when you hear this malos has lost everything and has completely unraveled and is determined to destroy everything no matter the cost and Rex and the gang are determined to stop him no matter what
Yeah, I'm really feelin' it!
Good man
本当神曲だよなぁ
I think it's really telling that Malos' theme in Torna is just a version of Amalthus'. But by the end of XB2, he's self-actualized enough to have his own final boss theme

*ARTIFICE-SLAYING BLADE*
Omg!
Please bring this in smash
One of the best final boss themes in gaming history
Galleom as Aion for their classic mode would fit
Beat this game yesterday at like 3 am and holy crap what a finale. I think I might like this more than God slaying sword or zanza the divine but that might shift cause both are incredible. I never noticed it initially cause I was trying to build up orbs for the chain attack but now listening to it I just can't get over hope beautiful this song is. Getting a full burst was so satisfying seeing the gang go all out to stop Malos was just the cherry on top.
Shame this won’t be in smash but it hits so hard during the actual final boss fight that I hope it maybe surprises some new players when they reach it rather than smash spoiling it
Totally. Sometimes less is more, this theme is amazing in the game.
I finished this game yesterday, this theme is so epic.
I'll show you the end of the world... with Aion! This is the thunder of justice! Siren Buster!!
The first time I got a full burst was on this boss battle, as my final attack. I was worried my chain attack wouldn't take him out. Then everyone just kind of murdered him. Epic.
I listen to this when im shitting and constipated

PROMETHEUS!!
Invincibility frames, preferably from a Chain Attack.
Same deal with Ophion's Falak Buster.
Defeating him before it hits is the intention.
A high-levelled Tora with a defense-augmented Poppi Alpha could maybe survive and revive everybody else, but it'd take some optimizing.
Believe me, I know what I'm talking about when it comes to defense, I Rally it for a living.
My tora survived that, but damn at first I didn't know what to do and I just got fucked
He used that attack once and it didn't appear to actually do anything... I believe Prometheus can be evaded/blocked like regular physical attacks can.
I learned the logic behind sealing at this final battle. I made a dark seal, thus he couldn't spawn his minions. Or I used fire so they don't explode. I died atleast 3 times.
This song is an Ultra Lightning Fury Smash Max Nut
don't get me wrong i love xenoblade 1s final battle theme but this is just so hype
Idk the first feels like Devine chauvinism wich i love
And this one. Everything just screams Grand Finally!
I like both songs. Zanza the Divine and The God Slaying Sword.
I’m f*cking crying... this game is so awesome and the music is even better. LOVE IT❤️💚
The part where Malos starts using Prometheus, I got him at the last second, I couldn't tell how I survived but I got him the moment my party started taking damage it was shocking I thought I was dead. if only I was able to clip it.
That Mythra and Malos Artifice in Torna was too epic
*T h a t i s n ‘ t m y r o l e i n t h i s w o r l d .*
Well, then what is it?
Theme of repeatedly forgetting what element orbs I've applied because *I can't see them*
Okay but when 1:11 hits it's excellent
This song deviates so hard from the rest of the game's music. Artifice Aion is so powerful this song feels so hopeless at the start. But as you realize beating it is possible it strikes this perfect note between Counterattack and Morytha in terms of tone. It feels like a fight for the sake of the world. This song is something special. Oh, I could talk forever about all the leitmotifs but I'll spare whoever is nerdy enough to read this in 2021 lol.
COME AT ME, KID!
COME, MY PARTNER!
SHOW ME THE EXTENT OF YOUR WILL!
SHOW ME WHY YOU'RE HERE IN THIS WORLD!!!
Can’t stop listening to 5:40, just the vocals and that drum kicking back in, so good
While fighting Morag in Klaus's visions she told Rex she was disappointed in him which shocked me to the core since she had spent most of the game encouraging him and basically treating him like another little brother.
So imagine how happy I was when fighting Aion for the first time and Rex got nuked by Prometheus, that it was Morag who helped him up. She and Zeke somehow managed to survive.
Edit: Just started playing Xenoblade 1. Already a bunch of little moments like that.
Morag and Rex are the prefect little brother who can't scream and older sister who can scream WHAT!
Also have fun with 1!
@@gachalibra9243 Speaking of screaming I was completely knocked over when Shulk screamed "I'll kill you!" after Fiora got killed. I heard everyone say how good it was, but I was unprepared for how so. I just got to Makna Forest, but I know there's still so much more shock to go.
@@GrandMarshalParker oooo! You're about the meet the fan favorite:)
@@gachalibra9243 Not sure if this is referring to Melia or Riki or Alvis.
@@GrandMarshalParker Melia! Riki is decently popular but Alvis is also really loved, not as much as Melia haha
1:12 sounds like the start of counterattack, huh
What if
You wanted to go to Elysium
But Malos said
"P R O M E T H E U S !"
I interpret this song as the final counterattack. There is no going back after this fight and the main characters have to win
2:49 and 3:15 they really snuck in bits of Counterattack :´)
8:54 - After Malos uses Prometheus
I hope Malos is the legend spirit and this song plays in the background during the spirit battle.
You were half right
