Even amongst the Enforcer's, McBurn is an enigma. Having claimed to have been possessed around roughly the same time as the Orbal Revolution (50 Years ago), despite his appearance this would likely put him in his 70's at least. Being Enforcer No. 1, meant he met with the Grand Master long before Loewe did.
CS4 just added so much complexity to McBurn, before then I only looked at him as an overpowered antagonist who's always itching for a fight. Looking forward to see where McBurn goes from here.
He becomes a playable member in one of the games yet to come to thr west (won't say more for spoilers), so rejoice fellow mcburn fan, we're not done with him yet
@@soralight_x He can enter this form whenever he wants. He just knows that it will destroy everything around him, so he choose not to use it. In this situation the world was already at the blink of destruction so it didn't matter to him anymore.
Well they did a great job at hyping him up, Ishmelga is the great bad guy of the arc, but the McBurn fight just implicate so much thing for the lore of the series, basically confirming the existence of other worlds with potential monsters just as strong as him, this fight and the last words of Mariabell and Campanella are basically hinting that Ouroboros and the Grand Master plan is just on a bigger scale than Zemuria. Also Spoiler for Hajimari : It's hinted that current president of Calvard is doing research on other worlds to, it really looks to me like in 1 arc or 2 the series is gonna move on to multiple worlds.
@@nesoukkefka1741 also its hinted that McBurn was involved in the Orbal Revolution. He appeared in the World at the same Time when Epstein vanished without any trace. Falcom doesnt even try to conceal that fact..
Best fight in the game to me. The build up and tension are done so well and when he finally plays his trump card and shows his true form; I couldn’t help feeling excited and ready to throw down with this beast. Very few games have been able to do that for me. Well done CS4, well done!
I don't think there's any other series that would be brave enough to commit to 4 games of build-up lol. That you've fought McBurn so many times up to this point without him ever going all out makes it all the more special when it does happen, throw in juicy lore drop along the way and it's probably my favorite moment in the series.
@@bruhvenant No doubt. It was awesome to finally see his true form but as good as the fight was…..I still felt as if he was still sandbagging us and still not fully committed. Idk if that’s just me reading too much into it or it’s just his laid back nonchalant attitude.
@@jordanjackson4840 yeah I do feel like he had more to give, at the end of the fight he wasn't tired or anything, but I think he was going as hard as he could at the time. It just sorta seems like not even he can access his full power unless someone pushes him enough to have to draw out more.
@@bruhvenant I remember him saying before the fight that his memories hadn’t quite come back even after he changed into his true form and afterwards he acted as if he had regained some if not all of them back. Now this is just speculation but what if his memory loss was a limiter that was put on him and now that he has them back, he can access his full unrestrained power? Also to your point, it might take someone that is truly strong to push him to his full potential.
@@0daadaadaa0 I know, still this is the only time this version of the theme play in game, and the only time we heard it in CS4, so for now in game that version is exclusive to McBurn ^^
The fact that he's this strong, and this...out of the ordinary, it makes me wonder just what else is possible, is there another like him out there? Is he just a sole calamity given human form?
Mcburn felt like he's more of an appropriate final boss than the actual final boss given he still can be far more threatening. The entire class 7 even expressed far more fear fighting this guy
Power Level wise maybe (tough McBurn mention in CS3 that Ishmelga might be strong enough to destroy him). Story wise tough nah Osborne and Ishmelga are the real main antagonist that drive the event of the Cold Steel arc would be a let down for them to not be the Final Boss, McBurn is more here for the lore building and hinting at what will come in the future of the saga.
@@nesoukkefka1741 Valimar empowered 5 other DKs was basically equal, if not slightly weaker than Ishmelga - and he can break through McBurn's barrier. Note that McBurn was NOT holding back at the time. The whole point of the battle was to draw out his full strength, so he could recall his memories.
@@brahmantyoihsan5938 Huh No Valimar with the power of 4 DK (not 5 he hasn't absorb Ordine), needed the assistance of Ordine, NC7's Panzer Soldats, the Sword that Milum turns into AND Class 7 links through their Arcus 2 to beat Ishmelga who comparativly was all alone, so yeah no Ishmelga is far stronger than Valimar on a one on one fight Valimar gets destroy no questions ask. And I don't see your point for the second part of your comment, I never said McBurn was holding back, and I think it's pretty clear his statement in CS3 include his Demon form in the equation, on top of that he states he was originally planning to go Demon Form against Osborne clearly stating that Osborne and Ishmelga like Class VII are strong enough to makes him go at full strength.
there is a massive difference in what the fights are for though. Ishmelga is the climax, and conclusion of the entire Erebonia saga. McBurn is another piece and setup for the larger story across all of Zemuria. It's kind of like the difference between Sky FC/SC, Zero/Azure, and the 4 Cold Steel games, and Sky the 3rd and Reverie
tanto faz honestly was the highlight of 4 for me. All the truths about mcburn and zemuria revealed here had me losing my mind. Craziest reveal in the series so far
LinuxWizzerd funny story i actually lost to him the first time bc my rean went berserk (ogre form) right before he put up his shield and i couldnt summon valimar lmfaoo
REVERIE SPOILERS: His true form is the last boss of the 5th stratum and I’m ngl they really missed an opportunity to use this theme again, I had goosebumps when I went against him in CSIV and it just didn’t feel the same in reverie since they didn’t use this theme
Kinda upset at first that they didn’t use the enforcers theme in the trails series. Well it turns out they’re saving it for the last (and definitely not the least).
I was always super bummed out that the Sky version of the Ouroboros theme seemed to be missing from Cold Steel. It's not that Cold Steel has bad music. It's just that Ouroboros is one of the most common examples of recurring characters, so them being present, but not their music always felt weird. Was worth it though to finally get to this boss fight.
The original enforcers theme was hands down one of the best tracks of the entire franchise. And this rendition really did it justice, I hope both of them return in future games.
@@Vassilinia Yeah agreed the moment i heard it on blublanc it give me goosebumps since then. when starting cold steel kinda sad there is no enfocer theme till cs 4. Feel like enfocer theme should exist on every game XD
@@nff_1950 its probably because this partiular Fight is the first and last in Cold Steel in which a Enforcer actually do what he wants. All the other Times, they were involved on behalf of Osborne (beside some mischief from Bleublanc, but thats not that scary). Here McBurn goes clearly all out on his own, knowing that he might kill Rean and crushing the Phantasmal Blaze Plan with him (since Alberich lost control over Reinford, he cant turn Rean into an Immortal)
I mean, that theme did show up as part of Imbroglio, the Enforcers' theme from CSIII. Also, as someone else pointed out, the entire society was kind of holding back/on a leash for the entire arc, especially in III and IV. Which makes a lot of sense when you consider the difference in power between Liberl and Crossbell, and Erebonia. Even though Ouroboros is extremely dangerous, I think even they would be hard pressed to take on the entire Imperial military
@@8-bitsarda747 That's true. I guess I always felt like that was more like an allusion rather than the theme itself. As if the song was communicating that Ouroboros is still present and dangerous, but not quite themselves. I dunno. It's just the feeling I got listening to Imbroglio. Not like this song, which makes me feel like I'm dancing in the palm of an Ouroboros Enforcer's hand until they decide I can move on. Not sure if any of it makes sense though. I'm not always as eloquent as I would like to be.
Platinuming CS4 was more satisfying than platinuming any other CS game specifically because Nightmare Mode made this dude a terrifying prospect. My entire Nightmare Playthrough, I was dreading fighting the guy. I was nervous to fight such a daunting adversary. When I won, when I platinumed/100%ed the game, I felt an adrenaline rush for hours later. Now, a day later after the platinum, I'm sad I'll never get anything like this fight ever again.
@@rodmajor1388 No Spoil, but it's not Ein who's comparable to Arianrhod , which make her top5, but still far from a McBurn at full power (no human compare to him period ^^ the dude's a legit natural disaster)
He honestly was more intimidating than Ishmelga the entire time I felt he was gonna gut me with Angbar. Also Ishmelga was stupid easy too I mean I had no trouble with McBurn but he did kill Alisa while I didn't lose anyone in the Ishmelga fight
he is cheesable like most enemies in the game so i had no trouble with him whereas the divine knight fights arent cheesable and as a result i personally found ishmelga the toughest fight in the game lmaoo and thats WITH the healing item mcburn gives u.
Len Leon i misread “intimidating” as “hard” for some reason lol yea true form mcburn lore wise and design wise is probably the most intimidating enemy in the whole series tbh that nigga gave me shivers
@@lenleon3699 Yeah I did but I will say I think the Great One was fun because I got to beat his ass with Victor and Aurelia also I think the e party set up worked here better than the multiple party set up from 2 with Testa Rossa
@@SGSensei That’s how the multi-wave battles should always be when fighting huge enemies. The idea that they split up to pincer attack bosses makes more sense than merely “wait in the back and then join in after they get tired”.
@@buttertoast1146 No, he is not. This fight is him going ALL OUT on Class VII, they were able to fight him at full strength, though needed the strength of Valimar to break through his final barrier.
@@Averi0 Nah, it's flat out implied he was only pushing them to push himself. He doesn't bother with his shield out the gate, and if a shield is the apex of his power, then something's off. This is a guy whose power is flat out stated to be comparable to a calamity like the Salt Pale. If the apex of that power's a barrier, then he's being undersold in the battle. None of Class 7 end up crippled from any of the parts of his power Emma can't fully cope with (hell, she CAN still cope with him) like Victor Arseid did from CS2. The fact is, McBurn is holding back. He isn't unleashing his full calamitous power. And even when we beat him/bust his bubble, he just reverts and casually speaks to us like he hasn't even broken a sweat. Remember, when a fight is meant to give a character a run for their money, they at least sound strained in voice afterwords, and if it's an intense struggle they're all panting like their lungs depend on it. Remember Sky The Third? Remember when Kevin's crew 'beats' Cassius only for it to look like we were the ones who lost? That's exactly what I mean. McBurn has not, and probably won't for a long time, show his absolute best. We'll see that at the epitome of the Zemurian mythos, when the truth comes out for real.
Seriously though, I hated this character so much. Always holding back, going after tough battles to ignite his fire for battle is such a lame excuse for motivation. That all changed when I reached this battle. Now I need to play Hajimari and Kuro to (hopefully) know the truth.
same he was just kinda w.e to me then i reached this point and suddenly hes the most interesting thing in the series i realy want to see his full backstory
@@iwanttoputkamuistoesinmymo5938 it all makes sense why he couldnt be bothered in the earlier games too. because his only goal is to learn about himself. crazy depth that only took 3 games to come out.
@@yubelsgaurd Trails series has this habit lol of making a character look bland then suddenly become extremely interesting. I went through something similar with Joshua in the sky series. In the first game he was kinda meh to me, until the very end then by the end of the second game he became my favorite character
To be fair his lust for stronger opponent make perfect sense now, he had no memories of his past so his motivation was getting his memories, he knows that to regain his memories he needed to go into his Demon Form long enough for his memories to resurface, but he is actually surprisingly not a bad guy or at least not reckless as he knows that if he goes in his Demon form he would have cause massive destruction around which clearly isn't something he wants to do (in fact that's a common character trait of him, he seems completly oppose to needless destruction, like he state in Orbis Tower in CS3 for instance he could have easily burn the entire tower to the ground), and to that end he needed opponents strong enough to stand against his demon form and hold their own long enough to get his memories back.
CS4 PC release when? Been playing this game in release order for the last 15 or so years, finishing 8 games from Sky FC to CS3 on PC and Falcom keeps pulling this bs. The one who makes their business decision deserves to be fired
Late response but know that Falcom doesn't develop for PC. They haven't since 2008. (Zwei 2 being their last pc developed title.) All the PC falcom games from ys 7 to trails of cold steel 4 have been developed by the western publishers who localized those games. So if you want to know WHY hajimari, isn't coming out till 2023, simultaneous ps4, switch and pc release is why.

Loewe for Sky

@@yubelsgaurd Trails series has this habit lol of making a character look bland then suddenly become extremely interesting. I went through something similar with Joshua in the sky series. In the first game he was kinda meh to me, until the very end then by the end of the second game he became my favorite character
To be fair his lust for stronger opponent make perfect sense now, he had no memories of his past so his motivation was getting his memories, he knows that to regain his memories he needed to go into his Demon Form long enough for his memories to resurface, but he is actually surprisingly not a bad guy or at least not reckless as he knows that if he goes in his Demon form he would have cause massive destruction around which clearly isn't something he wants to do (in fact that's a common character trait of him, he seems completly oppose to needless destruction, like he state in Orbis Tower in CS3 for instance he could have easily burn the entire tower to the ground), and to that end he needed opponents strong enough to stand against his demon form and hold their own long enough to get his memories back.
CS4 PC release when? Been playing this game in release order for the last 15 or so years, finishing 8 games from Sky FC to CS3 on PC and Falcom keeps pulling this bs. The one who makes their business decision deserves to be fired
March/April 2021. The reason its not on PC yet is because the JP market vastly prefers PS4 so NISA has to make a PC port from scratch.
Probably same as CS3 last year
Late response but know that Falcom doesn't develop for PC. They haven't since 2008. (Zwei 2 being their last pc developed title.) All the PC falcom games from ys 7 to trails of cold steel 4 have been developed by the western publishers who localized those games. So if you want to know WHY hajimari, isn't coming out till 2023, simultaneous ps4, switch and pc release is why.
McRoast...
loved the fight but that's a weird leg position isn't it lol
